Chapter 11: The Frozen God

"I broke the rules. He was the rules."

Ice Moon Arena – Day 2
The moment the god-tier figure arrived, the sky dimmed.
Even the clouds stopped moving. Time itself slowed near him.
He wore white from head to toe. His hair floated as if underwater. His face was smooth — too smooth. Not young, not old.
Eyes closed.
Feet bare.
Aura terrifying.

[Title: The Frozen God]
[Tier: Unknown (Above Ascension)]

Qin Feng gritted his teeth.
"What kind of cheat code is this?"
The figure stepped into the arena registration area and simply said:
"Give me a place in the tournament."
The officials tried to object.
"Who are you—"
The man opened his eyes.
The entire building froze in place. Literally.
The walls, the floor, the air — all turned to crystal ice. Everyone around him collapsed, unconscious from a single glance.
The formation recognized him automatically.

[Tournament Registration Accepted – Challenger Added]
[Name: Xuan Ye]
---
Qin Feng whispered to himself, "Of course he has a cool name."
---
1. Unexpected Pairing
Later that day, tournament scrolls rolled out for Round 2.
Team Challenge Round.
Two vs Two. Randomly matched pairs.
And the screen lit up:
Team 7: Qin Feng & Mei Xue
VS
Team 9: Lin Tian & Xuan Ye
---
Qin Feng blinked. "You've gotta be kidding me."
Ziyue stood up, furious. "Why her again?!"
Su Mei snapped, "Why is he fighting with him?!"
Yun'er narrowed her eyes. "If they're pairing Xuan Ye with Lin Tian… this isn't just coincidence."
Zihan hid behind a pillar. "We're all gonna die."
---
2. Partner Problems
Qin Feng met Mei Xue by the arena gates that evening.
"You don't look thrilled," he said.
"We're both about to die," she replied.
"I've died before. Wasn't that bad."
She glanced at him. "If you get in my way, I'll freeze your lungs."
He smirked. "If you trip and fall, I'm catching you."
She looked away, lips twitching. "Annoying."

3. The Battle Begins
The crowd filled the stadium. Tension was thick.
On the far side of the arena stood Lin Tian, darker than ever, eyes glowing purple-black.
Beside him… the Frozen God.
Still barefoot. Still untouchable.
Announcer:
"Team Seven vs Team Nine! Begin!"
---
Lin Tian launched first, riding a wave of corrupted flame, aiming straight for Qin Feng.
"LET'S END THIS!"
Qin Feng met him midair, lightning bursting off his blade.
CLASH!
Mei Xue turned and faced Xuan Ye.
He just stood there, eyes closed.
She summoned a glacier from the ground, sending shards flying toward him.
He raised one finger.
The entire glacier shattered to snowflakes before touching him.
---
[System Alert: Warning! Power Gap Detected]
[You cannot defeat Xuan Ye directly. Condition for victory: Separate Lin Tian.]
---
"Split them!" Qin Feng shouted.
"I know!" Mei Xue snapped.
She formed an ice bridge behind Lin Tian, cutting off Xuan Ye with a wall of enchanted frost.
Then she blinked at Qin Feng.
"I'll handle the defense. End this fast."
He didn't hesitate.
He turned and drove his fist straight into Lin Tian's gut — lightning wrapped around his knuckles.
"Round 2, bitch."
---
4. Lin Tian's Desperation
Lin Tian coughed blood, but laughed.
"You don't get it… I didn't come here to win."
"What?"
"I came here to BREAK YOU."
His system flared.
A corrupted beast seal appeared on his chest, glowing violently.
"CHAOS UNLEASHED!"
Suddenly, the ground cracked. The stands trembled. Three massive dark beasts broke free from the underground summoning seal.
The arena panicked.
Spectators screamed. Elders flew up to shield civilians.
The fight went from tournament... to warzone.
---
[System Warning: Tournament Rules Broken – Event Transition: "Live Battlefield"]
---
Qin Feng stood between Mei Xue and the rampaging beasts.
"Figures. This guy really went full 'final boss arc' this time."
He pointed at the largest beast — a three-headed wolf made of flame and bone.
"Mei Xue, combo technique?"
She didn't hesitate.
"Yes."
He reached out. She grabbed his hand.
Her frost wrapped around his lightning, forming a coiling storm of ice and thunder.
They jumped together.
---
[New Fusion Skill Unlocked: Arctic Vortex Spear]
[+50% Damage vs Demon Beasts]
---
They slammed it straight into the wolf's chest.
BOOOOOOM!
The explosion lit the night sky in blue and gold.
Two other beasts charged, but Su Mei appeared behind them, dual daggers spinning.
"I'm not letting anyone else impress him today."
She vanished — and reappeared on top of the beasts, slicing through their heads like hot blades through butter.
---
[Su Mei Affection: +10 | Bloodthirst Triggered]
---
Ziyue appeared next, punching a beast into dust.
"I don't care if I wasn't picked for this match. This is OUR battle."
Zihan arrived too, shielding injured disciples in the crowd with soft light.
Yun'er dropped a full holy barrier over the stadium.
Qin Feng stood at the center, surrounded by chaos, lightning in his eyes.
"Let's finish this."
---
He launched at Lin Tian, blade coated in Mei Xue's ice and Su Mei's shadows.
Lin Tian roared, tried to block—
But Qin Feng's strike pierced through.
---
[Lin Tian Defeated – Chaos Core Shattered]
[EXP +2,000 | Ascension Opportunity Progress: 33%]

Lin Tian fell.
But before he hit the ground, Xuan Ye appeared beside him and caught him.
His eyes opened — now glowing faintly gold.
He looked at Qin Feng qnd smiled.
"You're finally ready."
Then he vanished into a swirl of ice dust… with Lin Tian.
---
[System Alert: The Frozen God Has Taken an Interest in You.]
[Objective Updated: Unknown]
---
After the battle, Qin Feng stood on the roof of the arena, overlooking the city.
His system pulsed. The girls were safe. He won again. But something felt… off.
Then he heard a voice behind him.
"I've been waiting for you."
He turned. And saw her.
A girl in black silk robes. Long white hair. A tattoo on her chest glowing faintly.
Eyes full of danger.
She smiled.
"I'm your next opponent.
And your future wife."
