"Endless Ice Prison!"

  Upon unleashing this sword technique, Kenley, astride the mighty dragon, had their entire beings transformed into a frosty blue hue. They conjured a fierce tempest of frost, resembling a tornado of ice shards, hurtling towards Roland, who had just broken free from the Ice King's Imprisonment.

  This move boasted an immensely expansive attack range. With the augmentation of the dragon's language magic, Kenley could assert that the lethality of this technique was on par with a full-powered strike from a sixth-rank mage.

  Even someone as formidable as Roland would not emerge unscathed from this onslaught.

  "As I expected..." Although Roland was not caught off guard by Kenley's move, when he executed it, she couldn't help but be startled.

  Including the previous five sword techniques, this was already the sixth Sword Saint's sword technique that Kenley had employed. Just how many Sword Saint's sword techniques had Kenley mastered? It was almost beyond the realm of imagination.

  Facing the onrushing frost tornado, Roland remained unflinching. In coordination with her doppelg?nger, the two potent auras merged seamlessly. The two diminutive figures, standing beneath the icy tempest at that moment, gave the illusion of being infinitely vulnerable.

  "Wind Cave Flower Dance!" To avoid squandering her magic, Roland recalled her doppelg?nger and employed this move once more, endeavoring to withstand the might of this sword strike.

  However, to her astonishment, this sword strike differed from the previous five. Under the relentless assault of the frost, she felt her vitality ebbing away steadily. Moreover, her feet were once again ensnared by the frost, rendering her utterly immobile and compelling her to receive this blow while rooted to the spot.

  Another immobilization... Kenley's skills came in quick succession, each more formidable and troublesome than the last. With her true body immobilized, it meant that she had to activate a crowd control removal skill. It wasn't that she lacked such skills, but the remaining crowd control removal skills would induce a significant degree of stiffness, which was why she was reluctant to utilize them.

  Nevertheless, in this situation, she had no choice but to employ one. Otherwise, if she allowed Kenley to keep her immobilized, who knew what other sword techniques he would unleash.

  "Power Armor!" The instant she deflected the Endless Ice Prison, she promptly activated the crowd control removal skill of a sixth-rank warrior, Power Armor. This move could dispel the vast majority of negative states, yet its drawback was that it would induce a one-second stiffness during the formation of the armor.

  The reason she used it at this juncture was that Roland surprised that since Kenley had just completed the Endless Ice Prison, he should be in the process of retracting his move and would surely not have time to change his strategy. Thus, it was the opportune moment for her to use Power Armor to relieve the control.

  "He actually... He actually knows Lord Terra's Endless Ice Prison..." Although this was a sixth-rank sword technique, it was also an ultimate technique of a Sword Saint.

  As Mimir, who bore the title of the Frozen Storm, upon witnessing this exchange of swordplay, he was instantly transported back to his own past academic journey.

  It was entirely possible that this young man could indeed shatter the curse of the Golden Forbidden Court.

  Mimir couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Since his birth, he had never encountered a warrior with such unparalleled talent as Kenley. Upon beholding Kenley's sword techniques, instead of feeling any envy, he was overwhelmed with profound admiration.

  Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this battle for Kenley, based solely on his performance today, Mimir knew that a resplendent new star was rising in the Cain Empire!

  "This is already the sixth Sword Saint's sword technique," Daina exclaimed, her breath quickening.

  "Sister, do you still doubt my decision from back then?" Guinevere's pupils glimmered with an inscrutable light, and no one could fathom what was going through her mind at that moment.

  "Never again... My dear sister. Kenley is merely eighteen years old now. After his birthday next year, he will only be nineteen. At an age of less than nineteen, he has already achieved so much. One can only imagine the heights he will reach if he continues to grow; it's beyond comprehension," Daina took a deep breath.

  "Mn..." Guinevere nodded gently. For some inexplicable reason, she stole a furtive glance at Tia and felt a pang of envy well up within her.

  Of course, these conversations transpired simultaneously, at the precise moment when Kenley unleashed the Endless Ice Prison.

  Let's shift our perspective back to the battlefield.

  "Teacher, things are not as straightforward as they seem!" Just then, a figure emerged from the tempest of ice and snow, springing into the air, and a gray radiance emanated from the sword in his hand.

  "Shattering Slash!"

  As soon as Kenley uttered these words, everyone present was struck with astonishment!

  "What?! He actually knows all the sword techniques of the seven Sword Saints!" Daina was utterly astounded.

  "This is impossible! Who on earth is this young man..." Mimir couldn't help but cast doubts on Kenley's identity.

  "Master... Master..." Tia's face flushed a deep red, and she grew increasingly exhilarated by Kenley's performance.

  Only Guinevere remained completely silent. She began to meticulously recall all the information about Kenley. She realized that no matter how hard she tried to recollect, the only word that could encapsulate Kenley was: mysterious.

  "Oh no, she's off balance!" The timing of the appearance of the Shattering Slash was impeccable. In a state of imbalance, Roland was unable to employ other skills.

  "Teacher! It's all over!"

  Kenley's sword flashed out!

  However, at that moment, a faint smile played upon Roland's lips: "Kenley..."

  A flash of sword light...

  Kenley and Roland crossed paths and stood with their backs to each other. Everyone stared transfixed at the battlefield, motionless.

  "Bang!"

  "Bang!"

  Two sharp cracks resounded, drawing the attention of everyone present.

  "Shattered simultaneously!!!" Mimir was completely taken aback.

  "Simultaneously... Shattered simultaneously?!" The other three also wore expressions of disbelief.

  "Lord Mimir, what on earth happened? Did you see it clearly?" Daina immediately inquired.

  Mimir took a deep breath: "Just a moment ago, Kenley unleashed two Six-Light Continuous Slashes. Although I have no idea how he managed to pull it off, he indeed landed the blows. With twelve attacks, coupled with the cumulative consumption from the previous seven sword techniques, although Roland managed to defend against all of them, the damage inflicted by the parries still persisted."

  "Correspondingly, at the final moment, Roland chose to trade injuries. As Kenley's sword struck, she utilized her last crowd control immunity skill: Flower's Silent Fall, which is also Roland's most powerful ultimate technique. This is a deadly move that combines both offense and defense. Given Kenley's current strength as a fifth-rank warrior, being struck by this move would inevitably lead to defeat."

  After hearing Mimir's explanation, everyone suddenly understood: "So, Lord Kenley and Lady Roland landed their attacks on each other simultaneously, which is why the magical puppets shattered at the same time?"

  "Precisely," Mimir nodded.

  "So young, yet so powerful. At merely the fifth rank, Kenley was actually able to reach a draw with Sword Saint Roland. Once this news spreads back to the imperial city, I'm sure countless people will lose sleep over it. Given sufficient time for Kenley to grow, it's only a matter of time before he defeats Lady Roland in the future," Mimir took a deep breath, his expression a complex mixture of emotions.
