Chapter 1725 — Chapter 1725 Fighting Chu Liuxiang

A simple notification appeared when Yuan took Chu Liuxiang's ice technique with his bare body.

'Oh? I can temper my body like this?' He smiled inwardly.

Yuan looked at Chu Liuxiang, "Is that all you've got? Show me some more of your ice techniques since they're quite rare even in the upper heavens."

Chu Liuxiang snapped out of her daze and gritted her teeth.

[A thousand Ice Lotus Blooms on the Battlefield!]

Hundreds of beautiful frozen lotuses materialized around Yuan, completely surrounding him.

Yuan curiously touched one of them, causing it to burst and sending ice shrapnels in every direction. Almost instantaneously, a chain reaction occurred, and in the blink of an eye, all of the ice lotuses exploded.

Although the system did not specify, Yuan could feel that his cold resistance was only increasing slightly.

Yuan wanted to get at least Weak Cold Resistance by the end of the match, but he didn't want to prolong their match for too long without any reason, as it would raise eyebrows.

"You're that tall man's disciple, right? Show me what he taught you. I promised to fight him if one of you manages to defeat me, after all."

"No wonder why he appeared a little desperate for us to win…" Chu Liuxiang sighed.

"Forget it. I know I can't win, and I don't feel like fighting you for some reason." Chu Liuxiang shook her head.

"You don't? Why not? You fell for me or something?" Yuan teased her, hoping it'd get her riled up.

Chu Liuxiang sneered and said, "I am already with the love of my life, so I have no reason to look at another man."

"Anyway, I—"

Just as Chu Liuxiang prepared to forfeit, Yuan casually swung his arm, sending a sword light made of pure Sword Aura at her.

Chu Lixiuang hastily created a shield of ice before her, but it lasted only a split second before it was sliced in half. If she hadn't dodged at the same time she created the shield, the sword light would've struck her.

"Were you going to forfeit because you couldn't harm me with your techniques? I didn't know Kelan raised such a coward—or did you learn that from your partner?"

Chu Liuxiang's eyes burned with fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Yuan clapped, "So you finally feel like fighting me?"

"Damn, you're annoying as hell! I will make you regret provoking me!"

Chu Liuxiang began writing in the air, swiftly creating array symbols.

"Oh? You're an Array Master?" Yuan was pleasantly surprised that Chu Liuxiang had started using array symbols.

A few seconds later, the array symbols that gathered above the arena came together, creating a massive cloud. Soon, it began snowing in the arena.

When the snowflakes touched Yuan's body, some of his spiritual energy was eaten away.

"A formation that gradually weakens your opponents, huh? This is at least a level 3 formation. Not bad."

Just like Wang Xiuying, Chu Liuxiang didn't spend all of her time training under Kelan. She also studied array symbols under one of the Grand Mystic Sect's sect elders.

"I can't believe it's only been a year since I started teaching her about array symbols." An old lady sighed in admiration and regret as she stared at Chu Liuxiang's figure from the spectators' area.

"In just a short year, she went from barely knowing anything about array symbols to becoming a level three Array Master… If she had a better teacher than this useless one, she would've definitely reached higher. Her talents are simply incomprehensible."

Chu Liuxiang wasn't finished with just one formation and continued creating more array symbols.

Yuan wanted to see what she had planned and purposely allowed her to finish. However, Chu Liuxiang remained alert the entire time, anticipating him to attack at any moment.

A few moments later, Chu Liuxiang completed her second formation, one that weakened the strength and those within it.

The third one affected Yuan's movements, making him move slower.

By the time Chu Liuxiang was finished, she'd used up a third of her spiritual energy, but she felt that it was worth it as long as it weakened Yuan enough.

"To cast three formations in just a few moments, what a talented Array Master… not to mention her young age…" The spectators were in awe. "You done?" Yuan asked her.

"No, but you are!"

Chu Liuxiang began bombarding Yuan with ice techniques with her remaining spiritual energy.

However, Yuan would not block any of them, allowing them to bombard his body.

Seeing this, Kelan subconsciously began tapping his foot.

'He doesn't have any cold resistance. He's blocking all of her Spirit Enlightenment attacks with his body! Not only does he have Fire Harmony, but his physique has also been tempered to a ridiculous degree! How in heaven's name does he have the time to achieve all of this?! Did he train inside a time chamber or something?!'

Kelan couldn't fathom how Yuan was able to attain his physique and Fire Harmony in less than thirty years. While there are time chambers in the upper heavens where time flows differently inside, they are all incredibly rare and scarce, and the time one could spend inside is severely limited.

'Just what is his background? Is there really such a powerful and resourceful family hidden away somewhere in this world?'

Before Yuan acquired Weak Cold Resistance, Chu Liuxiang's ice techniques would tickle him. However, after acquiring cold resistance, he wouldn't even feel it touching his body if it weren't for his clothes.

Kelan's eyes widened after noticing this.

"He'd gained cold resistance?! Just like that?! It's only been a few minutes!" he exclaimed in a shocked tone.

If one could acquire resistance from being struck by another's techniques, then everyone in the world would possess some form of resistance. However, reality didn't work that way. Yet, Yuan had somehow managed to achieve this feat, which explained Kelan's shock and disbelief.
