Chapter 576: Chapter 565: The Lei Sisters’ Sudden Realization

Mu Chen was initially focused on intercepting Fang Bin’s Water Arrows. But as he blocked them, he suddenly realized hundreds of Water Arrows had appeared before him in an instant. As fate would have it, the final convergence point for all the arrows, regardless of their direction, was him. This infuriated him. His Ice Extreme Demon Pupils spun rapidly, and an ice-blue, diamond-shaped crystal emerged from between his brows. A blue light flowed through his powder-blue eyes as a soft cry, like a descending Brahma Sound, etched itself into everyone’s ears!

"Extreme Frost, Absolute Zero!"

As the Brahma Sound faded, space itself faltered. With Mu Chen at its center, the area within a thousand-meter radius instantly turned blue. The clouds and floating dust in the air froze in an instant. A bone-chilling cold current silently enveloped the entire blue region, including Fang Bin, who was in the middle of his charge. He too was frozen in place within the blue space!

"Absolute Zero!!"

Fang Bin was utterly shocked, but his body couldn’t move an inch. He was incredibly regretful of his reckless charge. ’Others might not know what this Absolute Zero is, but as a Water Attribute Martial Artist—and one with a deep understanding of the Water Attribute at that—of course I know how terrifying this High-level Ice Attribute Battle Skill is! It’s an absolute frost that can even freeze space itself! And I charged right in without any precautions. Under normal circumstances, this one small mistake would have been enough to cost me the match!’

However, when he saw Mu Chen’s current predicament, his terrified heart gradually calmed. ’As a Combat Skill infinitely close to the Celestial Tier, Absolute Zero has considerable restrictions. At the very least, the duration of this spatial freeze definitely won’t be long. Mu Chen’s primary problem right now is dodging the hundreds of Water Arrows I released. By the time he can launch an attack on me, the spatial freeze from Absolute Zero will likely have already dissipated.’

Mu Chen was feeling rather frustrated. ’These hundreds of Water Arrows look like they’re aimed at a single point, but I’d actually have to move dozens of meters to completely evade them. Why? Because they’re flying at me in the shape of a three-dimensional triangular pyramid. If I dodge, the arrows will form a symmetrical pattern around my original position, creating a pyramid-shaped area-of-effect attack! To escape, I can’t retreat; I have to move sideways by dozens of meters to get completely clear.’

’Normally, I would have chosen to dodge without hesitation. But to my surprise, my Absolute Zero not only stopped Fang Bin’s hundreds of Water Arrows, but it even froze him solid. This is the perfect chance to deal a heavy blow! But now, because of these arrows, I can only watch this golden opportunity slip away. What’s more, I don’t have a pre-placed Thunder Mark near Fang Bin. Otherwise, I could just use Instantaneous Step and he would already be defeated!’

Resigned, Mu Chen’s figure flashed, crossing several dozen meters laterally. He slammed his palms together in front of his chest with a sharp CLAP! A burst of ice-blue light erupted as he pressed both palms forward into the empty air. Countless flickers of ice-blue light instantly shone within the field of Absolute Zero. Accompanied by a massive fluctuation of Primordial Power, huge, sharp icicles materialized from thin air, locked onto Fang Bin, and lunged forward!

’No matter what, I have to try attacking at least once. Even if it misses, I won’t have any regrets!’

Feeling the sharp aura rapidly approaching, Fang Bin’s pupils flickered. He was already prepared to use his Absolute Defense, but his body still couldn’t move! And yet, just as the sharp icicles arrived before him, in the very instant he was about to give up, the blue space suddenly shattered.

The freeze from Absolute Zero was instantly broken. Fang Bin, who had long been ready to defend, unleashed his Primordial Power. A huge sphere of water completely enveloped him in a defense. Though the icicles were sharp, the water sphere was extremely soft—as soft as a thin membrane. Even when the icicles struck it, they couldn’t penetrate the film.

Among all the Inner Mountain Students, Fang Bin was likely the only one who could utilize the resilience of the Water Attribute to such a degree.

PSHHH!

A crystalline pillar of water erupted from in front of Fang Bin. The immense recoil pushed him away from his original position, and in an instant, the distance between him and Mu Chen widened once again. At the same time, a jade-green light flashed in Fang Bin’s eyes. The Water Yuan Qi in the air began to fluctuate violently. In the blink of an eye, six Flood Dragons formed from pillars of water materialized, circling and weaving as they moved to surround Mu Chen.

"Dragon-Catching Lamp! Vortex Prison!"

Fang Bin’s low shout accompanied the changing Seal Decisions of his hands. The six Flood Dragons arranged themselves into a "six dragons gathering" formation, instantly appearing above Mu Chen. Head to head, they formed a perfect hexagon in a flash. Tail to tail, they also formed a regular hexagon, though the tails were joined much more closely than the heads—so close that the very tips of all six Dragon Tails were touching.

The Dragon Bodies arched outward, and an aquamarine curtain of water appeared between them. In an instant, a prison shaped like a Dragon Lamp suddenly formed, completely sealing Mu Chen inside! From the outside, the curtain of water between the Dragon Bodies looked incredibly thin, almost transparent. But only Mu Chen, who was trapped within, knew just how tremendously resilient that thin water curtain truly was.

Because the moment the water curtain appeared, Mu Chen had already tried attacking it repeatedly, using the sharp piercing power of his Ice Attribute. But to his astonishment, no matter how sharp or solid the icicles he created were, the water curtain of the Dragon-Catching Lamp was like a layer of cotton. It simply wouldn’t yield to force, yet it could completely neutralize his attacks.
