If not for the fact that Su Yu only had seven soul rings, Zhongli Wu truly wouldn’t have believed it—the young man in front of him was just a Soul Sage.

Su Yu kept shattering his understanding, time after time.

With a glint in his evil eyes, Zhongli Wu’s gaze grew solemn.

The young man before him kept exceeding expectations. If he kept his old mindset, he might suffer a huge loss.

Weren’t those people who sacrificed themselves before the best proof?

 He tried to scheme against Su Yu but ended up being outplayed instead.

He, Zhongli Wu, would never allow himself to fall twice before the same person.

With his evil eyes sweeping toward Su Yu, Zhongli Wu shouted, “Su Yu, you keep pushing me, this is too much! I swear I will never let this rest!”

He had no more time to hesitate, for Su Yu gave him no chance to.

“Annoying!”

A sharp glint flashed in Su Yu’s starry eyes as snow began to fall everywhere.

The temperature in the sky plummeted rapidly.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A buzzing sound filled the air, and several figures appeared at Su Yu’s side.

The Ice Empress, with a body covered in emerald green and transparent ice crystals, exquisite like a work of art.

The round-bodied Skydream Iceworm, with a pair of golden little eyes darting around.

The tall Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai, towering sixty or seventy meters, with pure white fur and imposing majesty.

Su Yu summoned his three great soul spirits all at once.

After the Soul Spirit Contract, the three fierce beasts—the Ice Empress and the others—had completely become Su Yu’s soul spirits.

Especially with Su Yu’s Ultimate Ice and his powerful Spirit Domain-level spiritual strength supporting them.

Each of the three soul spirits had their unique uses and powerful abilities.

“This is... beast spirits?”

Zhongli Wu’s eyes widened at the three soul spirits surrounding Su Yu.

He instinctively thought these were beast spirits controlled by Su Yu.

But what happened next shattered his worldview.

The three soul spirits all possessed intelligence, and working together with Su Yu, they exuded extraordinary might.

For a moment, they put immense pressure on Zhongli Wu.

“Impossible! How can this be? What the hell is this?”

Zhongli Wu cursed inwardly. It felt like he was fighting not a single person, but a perfectly coordinated team.

The Ice Empress’ Ultimate Ice was extremely domineering.

The Ice Bear King’s every blow was as heavy as Mount Tai.

While the Skydream Iceworm’s fighting power was weak, with Su Yu’s spiritual support, it could still unleash mental disturbances.

With Su Yu himself, the combination of one man and three beasts formed a perfect complement.

“You don’t deserve to know!”

With a wave of his right hand, Su Yu summoned the golden Dragon Spear, shining brilliantly.

With his outstanding spear technique, Ultimate Ice, and his unique fighting style, Su Yu’s every strike was unmatched!

Each thrust was incredible, as elusive as a goat’s horns hanging from a cliff, leaving no trace.

The more Zhongli Wu fought, the more stifled he felt as if trapped in a quagmire with no escape.

In terms of power, he was incredibly strong.

But faced with the flawless teamwork of Su Yu and his soul spirits, he simply couldn’t find any openings to attack.

Especially since Su Yu’s domain still blanketed the battlefield, causing him significant trouble.

After a bout of fighting, Zhongli Wu finally lost his patience.

He was the mighty leader of the Holy Spirit Sect—how could he be pushed to this point by a brat?

A flash of anger shot across his eyes as he pointed his gray staff.

The scene from his previous fight with Mu Wu reappeared—a massive dragon head appeared before him.

Next, a huge, jet-black bone dragon emerged.

Zhongli Wu floated atop the bone dragon’s head, and with another tap of his gray staff—

Suddenly, the gigantic black bone dragon turned entirely green.

At the same time, dark clouds swirled in the sky, turning green as well.

“You forced me to this! Heaven and earth change, storms arise!”

With a thunderous shout, wild winds roared, and the sky truly changed color.

Gale after gale, tornadoes surged toward Su Yu.

The terrifying wind rapidly swept away the water elements in the air, and even the falling snow was scattered.

Su Yu’s domain was broken just like that.

Zhongli Wu laughed loudly: “Boy, I didn’t want to stoop to your level, but you’ve forced me.”

“Today, let me show you my true power.”

“In front of my Bone Dragon King, your tricks are worthless.”

Standing atop the massive skull, Zhongli Wu was small, but at this moment, exuded a suffocating, terrifying pressure.

With a mocking smile, he said, “I found this dragon bone in some ruins.”

“It still had its soul, with immense power.”

“The bone itself wasn’t top-tier, not even pure-blooded.”

“But by chance, it was tainted with a trace of Silver Dragon’s aura, receiving some grace from the Silver Dragon King.”

“That girl beside you has a Golden Dragon martial soul. I’m sure you know some legends about the Golden and Silver Dragons.”

“That’s right. My dragon bone possesses some abilities of the Silver Dragon King.”

“It took me ten years to subdue it. My achievements today are thanks to it.”

“As my life soul beast, it’s my proudest trump card. You should feel honored to witness it today.”

“Haha, come and taste the power of elemental control!”

With a howl, the winds above grew increasingly violent.

The gales tossed the air currents, even making it hard for Su Yu to remain steady.

At that moment, massive green wind blades slashed toward Su Yu from all sides.

These blades were so sharp that the space itself cracked. Su Yu even felt his body might be torn apart.

He wanted to dodge, but the raging winds completely disrupted the airflow.

It was as if some invisible force bound him in place.

Is this the power of the wind?

Su Yu’s mind cleared.

He had once wielded wind powers, but only through the Wind God Leg.

He’d never truly mastered pure wind element control.

At this moment, Zhongli Wu displayed true mastery over the wind element.

Su Yu was secretly shocked.

Wind’s power was so strong—just a Bone Dragon King touched by Silver Dragon’s grace could push him to this extent.

If this were Gu Yuena’s elemental control, how terrifying would that be?

Sometimes, the stronger one is, the more unfathomable Gu Yuena seems.

 Just as the saying goes: before cultivation, you’re like a frog in a well gazing at the moon.

After cultivation, you’re like a mayfly glimpsing the vast sky.

Su Yu felt a bit grateful—despite his past recklessness, Gu Yuena had always been so tolerant.

Thinking back, he truly owed her a lot.

“Elemental control is a mighty force, but in your hands, it’s an insult!”

With a cold glint in his eyes, as wind blades attacked from all directions, Su Yu pushed his hands forward, unleashing endless golden light.

Supreme Divine Art: Diamond Body!

 Wind blades struck Su Yu like swords on stone.

The sound of metal on metal rang out, and Su Yu was forced back by the wind blades.

“Hmph, quite the tough turtle shell. Let’s see how tough you are!”

With a snort, Zhongli Wu struck with his staff once more.

Small tornadoes merged, forming a massive one.

The huge tornado stretched from sky to earth, its fierce winds tearing apart everything.

The energy in the air was shredded, and even space was distorted; the tornado seemed capable of destroying all.

Su Yu remained calm. Facing the incoming tornado, he did not panic.

With a sweep of his left hand, a nine-colored light flashed.

A nine-colored object spun in his hand, topped with a blood-red soul ring.

Su Yu raised a finger, and a formless power spread out.

“Stop!”

With a single command, the massive tornado stopped abruptly and eerily.

Zhongli Wu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How is this possible?”

He tried to control the tornado again, but it felt as if he’d lost his connection to the wind.

It was as though the wind element itself had been stripped away.

After all, he could control such vast wind only through soul power, not true comprehension.

Now, faced with a higher-level wind attribute, his control was instantly severed.

Light shone from Su Yu’s left hand—a closer look revealed a seal.

Unlike ordinary seals, this one radiated nine-colored light, with a phantom dragon coiled on it.

There was an air of ancient, mysterious majesty.

This was Su Yu’s second martial soul, the Dragon God Seal.

And the blood-red soul ring was the wind element ring Su Yu had once obtained.

Su Yu had long anticipated facing Zhongli Wu—of course, he’d prepared.

A few days before the competition, he secretly absorbed that wind element soul ring.

Now, he was no longer a level 79 Soul Sage but had broken through to level 80.

He only needed his eighth soul ring to reach the Soul Douluo realm.

The pure wind element soul ring granted him wind element control.

And it was the Ultimate Wind.

Even though Su Yu hadn’t practiced large-scale wind control much, after Gu Yuena’s training, he was already adept.

Most importantly, his was the true Ultimate Wind.

Zhongli Wu’s wind was merely an ordinary wind element.

His Ice Emperor could instantly counteract Ling Luochen’s ice.

Now, his Ultimate Wind could forcibly strip away Zhongli Wu’s control.

“This is impossible!”

Shocked by the sudden reversal, Zhongli Wu’s face turned cold. “I refuse to believe this!”

With a point of his gray staff, the Bone Dragon King below him let out a low roar.

It raised its massive head and spat a huge green energy ball at Su Yu.

One of Zhongli Wu’s soul rings flashed, and the green orb became even deeper.

“Go!”

He sent the green orb flying at Su Yu.

Though it looked ordinary, it contained terrifying, violent wind elements.

This level of wind could tear apart even elements and space.

Even a defensive rank nine soul tool could be shredded by it.

Yet, Su Yu didn’t dodge at all—he simply reached out his hand.

“Seeking death!”

Zhongli Wu sneered, but his smile froze in the next instant.

Su Yu’s hand entered the green orb as if nothing and the violent wind element inside suddenly calmed.

This scene almost made Zhongli Wu’s eyes pop out.

“Returning courtesy!”

With a casual flick, Su Yu sent the orb flying back.

A chill ran down Zhongli Wu’s spine—the orb, after Su Yu’s touch, now seemed terrifying.

Without hesitation, Zhongli Wu launched another attack.

The two green orbs collided midair, releasing a surge of destructive energy.

Under Zhongli Wu’s stunned gaze, the reflected orb devoured his original attack.

Frightened, Zhongli Wu dodged, but the green orb exploded.

The orb burst into a green storm, enveloping Zhongli Wu in wild, violent energy.

His figure was swallowed up.

“Is he dead?”

Below, many speculated, while Su Yu remained composed.

Zhongli Wu was a level 98 peak Super Douluo—how could he die so easily?

Sure enough, as the storm faded, Zhongli Wu reappeared.

He looked disheveled, bleeding from the mouth, his body covered in chaotic cuts.

The violent wind had torn his clothes to shreds.

Breathing heavily, Zhongli Wu stared at Su Yu. “What an Ultimate Wind!”

Zhongli Wu wasn’t stupid. Being so thoroughly suppressed, and feeling Su Yu’s wind element power firsthand, he understood immediately.

His Bone Dragon King had received the Silver Dragon King’s grace, giving him mastery over wind.

Yet Su Yu could overpower the Bone Dragon—there was only one explanation.

But what he couldn’t imagine was that Su Yu wasn’t just Ultimate Ice, but also Ultimate Wind.

Such talent was truly terrifying!
