From the outside of the bat ring, it looked like both sides were struggling to control and efficiently utilize the enormous amount of energy that was required to maintain the shape of the Glacier dragon head, and the Hellfire Werebear's fireclay.
However,? the first impression of both sides being equally strong was radically transforming as one party took an upper hand no sight anymore as time seemed to pass infinitely slowly.
Jason's victory became even more apparent when he released the divine energy inside the Glacier Dragon, enhancing the dragon breath manifolds.
At that moment, a loud crack resounded in the area, and Elder Ben knew that he had to act right now.
He had watched the entire spar intently and had known even before Jason had made a move that he would never be at a disadvantage.
Yet, he had waited for Jason to prove this fact and was relieved to see him prove his assumptions correct.
Jason's earlier anger should have made him act more reckless, but from the looks of it, his emotions hadn't affected him as much as expected.
This was interesting, but without wasting precious time that could cost the life of his Elite, Elder Ben decided to make a move.
Vanishing from his seat, he emerged in front of Lars, who was coughing up blood.
He was clearly struggling to reclaim control over the Hellfire Werebear that was pletely released in order to survive the attack of the Glacier Dragon.
The Elder hadn't realized that the wandering soul had been fully released before, but after noticing this, he began to wonder just how powerful the dragon breath was.
However, he didn't have to wait for long in order to receive an answer as what occurred in front of him only a moment later made his eyes widen in astonishment.
'The dragon breath has an exceptional freezing property, can burn through energies, and…is extraordinarily purified…'
It was not surprising to see flames with unique properties, but the purity of the dragon breath astonished Elder Ben.
After all, the flame had been manifested out of the surrounding mana that was certainly not in its purest form!
Thus, the Elder released his own Soul force to block off the dragon breath, ending the attack within a single moment.
Lars stumbled backward as his body went limp, while Elder Ben simply watched the Glacier Dragon head that had been pressed out of frozen flames in stupor.
Only after looking at the Glacier Dragon head for a few seconds did he sigh deeply while turning towards Lars. His wandering soul seemed to nod its head at Elder Ben before returning to the body of his master.
The Hellfire Werebear was deemed as a beast with a big temper, which often made it difficult for the wandering soul to control its emotions.
However, it was evident that it might have died had Elder Ben not intervened.
The most it would have sustained a severe undercooling…and that too as a beast that could control the flames of hell!
This was ridiculous, and after calming down, the Hellfire Werebear returned to its master.
It liked Lars, which was the reason it accepted the bond with him, to begin with.
Binding with a Yinar was something the majority of wandering souls would never do voluntarily because it would deprive them of their freedom.
However, at the same time, after being bound to another being, their racial limitation would pletely disappear. This would allow them to bee much more powerful, even if they were only White rabbits in the beginning of their journey!
Lars was breathing heavily with blood trickling out of the corners of his lips, nose, and even ears.
He had been pletely overwhelmed by the dragon breath of the Glacier Dragon that was slowly disappearing while being suctioned into the small, palm-sized flame that disappeared within Jason.
This caused Lars to take several deep breaths as he realized that everything that had happened just now was the doing of Jason's soulbond.
With trembling legs, he collapsed to the ground, only to see that Jason was sweating profusely.
However, considering his own sorry state, sweat was not even worth mentioning.
While he had used his own Soul force pletely, the energy within and around Jason seemed to be brimming with vigor. This made Lars wonder as to who amongst both of them was at a higher cultivation base.
By no means should he have lost against Jason.
After all, he was at the Low Ascendion stage, and had a mighty wandering soul bound to his soul.
Yet, someone at the Peak of the Prismar stage, with a few soulbonds being strong enough to defeat him, without sustaining any severe injuries.
That was shocking, to put it lightly, and Lars felt that he was incapable of understanding what he was supposed to do.
At this moment, he felt a broad hand e around his shoulder. Upon lifting his head, he saw Elder Ben, who smiled reassuringly at him before remarking,
"It's weird, isn't it? Why is he so powerful and able to defeat you, despite the relentless training you've undergone?
Is it just the energy he owns other than mana, or is there more to it?
Is it limited to his soulbonds, his eyes, his aura, or is it everything together?
If you want to figure out Jason's secrets, you know what you've got to do!"
Elder Ben didn't plan on telling Lars what he had to do because it was the youth's decision to figure out what he wanted to do.
As such, he was simply stating a few facts while trying to give Lars rough guidance.
After understanding what the Elder meant, Lars gaze averted to Jennifer, who was already pletely healed.
Sighing deeply, he knew that his provocation to Jason had been too harsh on his woman.
Thus, Lars decided to let go of his pride as he approached Jennifer.
This was seen by Jason, who had already taken a glance at Jennifer after the battle had ended.
Realizing that Lars didn't mean to harm her, he let him approach her.
In the end, Jason was not even surprised when he saw that Lars bowed lightly to Jennifer before voicing out a formal apology.
Astonished, Jennifer looked at the youth.
"It's fine, don't worry. I could tell what you were trying to do…even if I don't like how powerless I was."
Shrugging her shoulders, she decided to accept his apology before exchanging a few more words.
After that, she noticed Jason approach them, which caused her to smile brightly as she quickly told him.
"I've pletely healed already. Their healers are really powerful. They even have wandering souls that can heal severe internal injuries…not that I had such injuries, don't misunderstand!"
Smiling to hear Jennifer hastily blaber, he couldn't help but feel that she was truly fine.
This was great, and turning his head towards Lars, who looked dead-tired, Jason was sure that the youth had learned his lesson.
"You're really strong. Let's spar some more soon!" He nonchalantly mented with a smile, his earlier anger having disappeared.
Jennifer accepted Lars' apology. As such, he had no reason to hold a grudge against the youth.
After all, it was acceptable to make mistakes once in a while.
As long as nobody was seriously injured, it would be fine.
Nothing serious had happened to Jennifer.
If something was hurt, it was probably her pride of being defeated by someone powerful with great talent, who was younger than her at that!
