Imperial Dou Team! Victory!

In an instant, various lights swirled across the Douhun Platform. Soul Rings of different colors rose from beneath everyone's feet, and the fluctuations of soul power spread out like a tide.

Ice River watched the "two yellow, one purple, two black" Soul Rings on the body of the Asura Demon Sword in Lu Chen's hand, his eyes filled with astonishment: the Soul Ring configuration on that person actually exceeded the optimal ratio!

"Begin."

As the Host's words fell, Lu Chen's first Soul Ring instantly lit up. A flash of blood-red light flickered on his body as he charged directly toward Ice River.

A blue light flashed in Ice Rain's hand, revealing a staff two meters long, entirely condensed from ice crystals.

Two yellow and two purple Soul Rings circled above the Frost Staff.

"Frost Ring!"

Leng Yu's third Soul Ring lit up, and an ice-blue ring flew toward Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled faintly and swung the Asura Demon Sword in his hand.

With a "crack," the Frost Ring shattered instantly.

At this moment, Lu Chen had already arrived in front of Ice River.

A tiger's roar erupted from Ice River. Then, his third Soul Ring lit up, and the white fur all over his body was instantly dyed with an ice-blue luster. His palms swelled several times over as he swiped toward Lu Chen.

"Asura Berserk Devour!"

Lu Chen's fourth Soul Ring lit up. Dark gold patterns crawled from the sword body onto his arms. The surging slaughter aura around him instantly condensed, turning into a suit of dark blood-colored armor covered in spikes, wrapping his entire body within it. Even his eyes were stained with a hint of scarlet.

"Boom!"

At the moment of impact, Ice River was actually sent flying by this immense force.

The members of the Ice Team wanted to support Ice River, but they were blocked by a purple flame.

Purple mist filled the air; anyone who drew near would be assaulted by the poisonous fire.

The members of the Imperial Team were currently entangling the members of the Ice Team.

Xiao Wu and Ice Feather were locked in combat. Despite Ice Feather possessing the Extreme Cold Sparrow Martial Soul, he was steadily suppressed by Xiao Wu in terms of speed. If it weren't for his ability to fly, he would likely have been kicked out of the arena by Xiao Wu long ago.

Zhu Zhuqing turned into a streak of black light, constantly harassing Leng Zijie, while Xia Xue and Xia Feng were held back by Yu Tianheng and Shi Mo. Under Dugu Yan's crowd control, the three of them were unable to support Ice River in the short term.

Ice Spirit moved. Just like her name, her Martial Soul was an extremely rare support-type Martial Soul: the Spirit of Frost. Although this Martial Soul could only provide support to soul masters with the ice attribute, its amplification ability was not a whit weaker than the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ice Spirit's four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—lit up in succession, and an ice-blue phantom appeared behind her.

Four halos of red, yellow, blue, and green enveloped the phantom. Ice Spirit's first four soul skills corresponded to amplifications for strength, defense, speed, and soul power, respectively.

Then, under Ice Spirit's control, the Spirit of Frost flew toward Ice River.

The moment the two touched, the Spirit of Frost slowly integrated into Ice River's body. His eyes instantly lit up with blue light, and wisps of white cold air drifted out from his body, while a layer of Ice Crystal Armor slowly emerged on his skin.

"Hah!"

Ice River let out a violent shout, spraying frost mixed with ice slag from his mouth. Following this, his fourth soul ring lit up, and an ice-blue ball of light was blasted from his mouth.

Lu Chen was completely unfazed; he flicked his wrist, and the blade of the Asura Demon Sword slashed out horizontally.

A streak of red Asura Sword Qi shot toward the ice-blue ball of light.

"Boom!"

The ice-blue ball of light exploded, and a rich ice mist spread in all directions.

Within the ice mist, Ice River appeared behind Lu Chen, his thick tiger palms covered in ice spikes, and he swiped down toward Lu Chen's back.

Five cold glints flashed, but a crisp "clang" rang out as the tiger palms struck solidly against the broad body of the Asura Demon Sword.

Lu Chen pushed up with his sword, then followed through with a swing of the Asura Demon Sword.

A flash of blood-red light slashed across Ice River's chest. With a "rip," the Ice Crystal Armor on Ice River's chest split open, and a wound deep enough to see bone instantly appeared.

"Captain!" Ice Rain's third soul ring lit up, and the Frost Scepter in his hand glowed with a dazzling blue light.

Following that, the surrounding ice mist turned into ice rain and surged toward Lu Chen.

Ice River's fifth soul ring lit up, and his entire body erupted with blinding blue light.

"Roar—"

A tiger's roar echoed out. The muscles on Ice River's body instantly swelled, and a deep azure Frost Tiger shadow appeared behind him.

Lu Chen swung his sword, and a scarlet blood light flared, instantly melting the surrounding mist and the incoming ice rain.

At the same time, Ice River had already appeared in front of Lu Chen. Following his attack, the tiger palm of the Frost Tiger shadow behind him swiped down toward Lu Chen.

A crimson light flickered in the depths of Lu Chen's eyes. The Asura Sword Intent within his body flooded into the Asura Demon Sword, and the dark gold demonic marks on the sword body instantly lit up, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of slaughter.

Lu Chen gripped the Asura Demon Sword and slashed down fiercely toward Ice River's tiger palm.

"Boom—!"

Air waves surged outward, centered on the two of them.

Then, to the disbelief of everyone on the Ice Team, the shadow of the Frost Tiger slowly vanished, replaced by the wild, violent red light of the Asura Demon Sword.

The terrifying aura of slaughter flooded into Ice River's body through his arm, shaking his meridians with agonizing pain.

He was then sent flying by the Asura Demon Sword, landing outside the Douhun Platform, where he fell into a coma.

"Captain!"

Ice Feather, who was in the air, saw this scene, and his body froze abruptly, his eyes filled with shock.

Xiao Wu's body lit up with a pink glow. "You had better worry about yourself first!"

"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"

Xiao Wu's eyes radiated a seductive pink light, and Ice Feather's body instantly stiffened.

Following that, Xiao Wu exerted force with her calves, her body lunging violently into the air. First Soul Skill, Waist Bow, activated.

Xiao Wu's feet clamped accurately around his waist, her slender waist twisted sharply, and her body rotated a full circle in mid-air.

Borrowing the momentum of the rotation, she flung Ice Feather toward the outside of the arena.

Ice Feather crashed heavily outside the stage, completely losing his combat ability.

After dealing with Ice River, Lu Chen's gaze turned toward Leng Zijie, who was holding up the Ice Turtle Shield for defense.

The second soul ring on his body lit up, and then the Asura Demon Sword was swung toward Leng Zijie.

Under the enhancement of the Asura Sword Intent, a streak of emerald blood-colored sword qi shot toward Leng Zijie.

Leng Zijie's third soul ring lit up, and the Ice Turtle Shield in her hand instantly swelled several times in size.

The emerald blood-colored sword qi hit the Ice Turtle Shield, but with a "puchi" sound, the sword qi pierced directly through the shield and struck Leng Zijie's body.

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing's third soul ring lit up. A silver light glowed from the crescent moon mark on her glabella. She clasped her hands above her head, and the claw blades on her ten fingers fused together rapidly, turning into a sharp blade about a foot long.

Following the injection of soul power, a black light blade condensed upon the sharp blade, with a faint silver halo lingering around the outer edge of the light blade.

The black light blade slashed down from above.

Leng Zijie's body instantly flew backward, landing outside the Douhun Platform with a muffled thud.

At this moment, Lu Chen also arrived in front of Leng Ling, the Asura Demon Sword pressed against her neck. He said coldly, "You have lost."

Leng Ling looked around; her teammates were falling to the ground one by one under the effect of Dugu Yan's Bile Phosphorus Corrosive Poison.

Leng Ling gazed at Lu Chen with her beautiful eyes, as if she had lost all her strength. Her voice trembled as she said, "We... we surrender."

Xiao Wu's figure landed steadily beside Lu Chen. She flicked her fluffy rabbit ears and sought praise from Lu Chen. "Lu Chen, how was that?"

Lu Chen put away his Slaughter Aura and rubbed the soft rabbit ears on top of Xiao Wu's head with his right hand. "You performed very well."

Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly, the tips of her ears instantly dyed pink, and a faint flush spread across her face.
