Supreme Star Card Master

At that moment, Frank had already broken through the Ice Palace and caught sight of Iren Ting, who had been split in two and locked in the sky. His face immediately turned pale.

Su Luo retracted the Sky Lock, allowing Iren Ting’s corpse to fall from mid-air. Then, he turned his gaze toward Frank.

“An opponent skilled in Star Power attacks, huh.”

Frank watched Void Evil Manifesting Saints turn around, and a pang of dread gripped his chest, leaving him no room to hold back!

“Holy Manifestation Technique, Light, the Secret Mage of Light!”

The white robe on Frank shone brilliantly before exploding, transforming into Holy Light Chains that wrapped around his body.

Frank himself turned into a pure Light Energy Body; his golden hair shifted to white, and waves of exceptionally strong Star Power Fluctuation radiated from his body.

Flying high into the sky, Frank spread his arms wide, as layers upon layers of Holy Light rapidly filled the heavens.

One by one, immensely powerful Star Cross Light Swords emerged from the Holy Light above, the very Light Sword Domain he previously used to combat the Demon Soul Avatar!

This time, however, under the “Light Secret Mage” transformation, the Star Cross Light Swords in terms of power, size, and quantity far exceeded what was used against the Demon Soul Avatar before!

*The Light Sword Domain was somewhat similar to the Void state in its immense strain on Star Power.*

*Having used it once, it would be nearly impossible to deploy it again in a short period.* Yet, Frank had forcefully unleashed an enhanced version of the Light Sword Domain under the “Light Secret Mage” state.

“Skilled in Star Power attacks, huh.”

Su Luo looked at the impending rain of swords descending from the sky. As black fire surged around him, he dispersed Void Evil Manifesting Saints without hesitation. Simultaneously, Ice Bone Wings wreathed in Purple Flame spread out from his back—a Fusion Skill combining Purple Flame Burning Body and Ice Soul Transformation.

Su Luo pressed his left hand to his chest, releasing horrifying cold energy. Amid the swirling frost, a massive Ice Barrier suddenly unfolded beneath his feet, expanding toward all directions!

“Mystic Ice Skill… All Swords Return to the Origin!”

Countless runes flickered across the barrier, seemingly poised against the endless rain of Holy Swords. Thousands of ice blades infused with Dark Fire rose from the barrier, hovering mid-air and rapidly numbering into the thousands!

“Kill!”

The Holy Swords and ice blades collided in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, shockwaves exploded outward, Star Power surged violently, and Spirit Light burst across the battlefield like tidal waves. The fearsome fluctuations caused swirling black hurricanes nearby to tremble uncontrollably!

*Yet before long, the balance of power began to shift; the icy blades’ unforgiving intensity started to overwhelm the countless Holy Swords spread across the heavens!*

The ice blades had evolved from Mystic Ice, while the Holy Swords were mere ordinary energy constructs.

*Given their evenly matched initial conditions, the Holy Swords simply couldn’t stand up to the ice blades forged from Mystic Ice. In terms of both durability and sharpness, the difference was insurmountable; moreover, the ice blades carried Evil Fire Energy!*

Large clusters of Holy Swords shattered under the assault of the ice blades, while the scattered ice blades regrouped seamlessly into the icy blue torrent.

*One side diminished over time, while the other experienced almost no losses—the disparity between them grew increasingly pronounced.*

Until at last, countless ice blades crushed through the imposing Light Sword Domain like a devastating flood, obliterating it completely!

“What… what kind of monster is this?!”

Frank stared blankly at the endless ice blades that shattered the Light Sword Domain and now flew toward him. He had long since recognized that the silver-haired, silver-eyed figure was the fusion of Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.

*Not to mention how fantastical their act of fusion was—the sheer strength they exhibited after merging was beyond anything he could comprehend!*

But he had no time left to ponder.

The swarm of ice blades descended like a rising tide, enveloping him entirely. Before he could even scream, he was shredded into countless icy fragments, which scattered mid-air like snowflakes.

With a wave of Su Luo’s hand, the vast multitude of ice blades flew back from the sky and sank into the Ice Barrier in succession. Accompanied by rippling energy waves, the countless ice blades and the Ice Barrier vanished simultaneously.

Su Luo surveyed his surroundings; the aftermath of the battle left the landscape in ruins, yet there was no trace of Frank or anyone else.

Aside from Iren Ting’s fallen corpse, the other two had been obliterated entirely, leaving not a shred of their existence.

Su Luo’s expression was indifferent as he descended from mid-air.

“Let’s disengage the fusion.”

Su Luo voiced his thoughts but suddenly remembered something. He lowered his gaze slightly.

*There wasn’t any rise and fall in the chest—that wasn’t odd, neither Su Yuan nor Luo Bingtong had anything there to speak of.*

*But as for further down… Su Yuan’s expression grew somewhat peculiar.*

“Have I become… gender-neutral?”

Su Luo shook his head and focused his gaze. With a flash of red and blue light, his body radiated brightness before splitting into two figures.

As soon as the fusion ended, Su Yuan immediately felt a wave of weakness wash over him, as though his body’s strength had been greatly depleted.

In addition to the physical exhaustion, his head felt dizzy—after all, as the one initiating the skill, Su Yuan had expended substantial amounts of spiritual power.

He massaged his temples and turned to look at Luo Bingtong in the distance.

The other person was also gazing up at him, although her expression seemed distinct from what he remembered—it carried a subtle difference…

Su Yuan took a few steps toward Luo Bingtong but suddenly found the atmosphere between them somewhat delicate.

*Previously, the urgency of their battle meant they had no time for second thoughts.*

*But now that the threat was gone, in retrospect, merging with a girl—it really wasn’t all that polite…*

*Especially considering the experience of sharing one body with Luo Bingtong—it was undeniably unique…*

*Thinking about this, Su Yuan felt even more awkward, momentarily unsure of how to break the silence.*

“Are… you okay?” Luo Bingtong took the initiative to ask.

Hearing her question, Su Yuan exhaled slightly in relief. If she didn’t mind, then there was probably no issue.

Su Yuan smiled and answered, “I’m fine, just a bit drained—what about you?”

“I’m all right… too.”

Su Yuan nodded, though his mind wandered to the state of their fusion a moment ago.

*The Power of Soul seemingly couldn’t be utilized, but physical attributes as well as Star Power had undoubtedly surged to incredible levels. He estimated their combined strength to be a 6B Talent!*

*Of course, even so, it wouldn’t have been easy to defeat Frank and the others so effortlessly.*

*Another critical factor was their respective Divine Fire and Mystic Ice, which seemed to have amplified their strength significantly.*

*Phoenix and Dragon.*

*Divine Fire and Mystic Ice.*

*Both in magnitude and compatibility, they were unmatched.*

*That must be why their powers were so overwhelmingly terrifying.*

“It’s unfortunate I still didn’t get a glimpse of my Power of Soul.”

*Though he felt slightly regretful, Su Yuan quickly collected his thoughts.*

Observing the injuries on Luo Bingtong’s body and the lingering black hurricanes swirling around them, Su Yuan spoke, “Let’s rest and recover for a while.”

“Okay,” Luo Bingtong responded softly.

“Squish! Squish squish!”

At that moment, Ruan Ruan reverted to its true form and leapt onto Su Yuan’s shoulder, wrapping its small arms around his neck with tearful eyes.

“Squish squish (Have all the bad guys died)?”

Su Yuan smiled and gently patted it. “They’re all dead.”

Ruan Ruan, who had been worried the entire time, finally let go of its anxiety and clung to Su Yuan, crying as if it were a frightened child.

“Squish squish (Ruan Ruan doesn’t want to be separated from Master)…”

*Clearly, this life-and-death crisis had truly frightened Ruan Ruan.*

Su Yuan comforted it patiently.

Luo Bingtong, standing beside him, blinked curiously as she gazed at the newly revealed blue Slime.

Noticing her interest, Su Yuan explained, “This is Ruan Ruan, my contracted Star Beast. Ruan Ruan, this is Bing Tong.”

Ruan Ruan rubbed its tearful eyes, jumped in front of Luo Bingtong, and stretched out a little hand. “Squish! Squish squish squish!”

Luo Bingtong hesitated for a moment but then extended her hand to shake its tiny one.

As a cool sensation passed over her, Ruan Ruan felt an unfathomable comfort and stared at Luo Bingtong with sparkling eyes.

“Squish squish squish!”

Luo Bingtong blinked in confusion, clearly uncertain of Ruan Ruan’s intentions.

*Though they were both Demon Beasts, Luo Bingtong couldn’t understand Slime’s language, so she turned to Su Yuan for clarification.*

Su Yuan chuckled, “It seems Ruan Ruan likes you very much.”

*Water Attribute Star Beasts naturally liked cold and soothing things, so this wasn’t surprising.*

Luo Bingtong gazed at Ruan Ruan, then stretched out both arms to cradle the little creature.

“Very… soft.” Luo Bingtong murmured, gently patting it.

Ruan Ruan, comfortably nestled, closed its eyes contentedly.

Watching the harmonious scene between the girl and the Slime, Su Yuan smiled but then seemed to recall something.

“Ruan Ruan, use your Sea Soul Protection to heal Bing Tong.”

“Squish!”

Ruan Ruan responded energetically, summoning a stream of water that began to flow over Luo Bingtong’s body.

*When it came to healing, nothing could rival the Water Element.*

*Under the effects of Sea Soul Protection, the injuries caused by traversing the black hurricane and the wounds sustained in battle against Frank and the others visibly began to recover.*

Seeing this improvement, Su Yuan decided to search for spoils of war in the meantime…
