Seven-on-Seven Mixed Team Battle (Part 2)

The powerful meteor shower did not land before the Ice Radiance Ring.

Chen Zifeng and Bei Bei had already been swept away by the Ice Radiance Ring.

Gongyang Mo, meanwhile, was thrown out of the range of the Ice Radiance Ring by Chen Zifeng.

Not being the target of the Ice Radiance Ring did not mean one was safe, because there was more than one control-type soul master on Dai Yueheng's team.

The shattered ice crystals did not fly at their normal speed; Gu Yuena manipulated the gale to accelerate the attack of the ice fragments.

The much stronger Ma Xiaotao naturally didn't care, while Xiao Xiao was rescued directly.

The ice crystals, driven by the violent wind, melted inexplicably, and flames ignited to surround Gongyang Mo.

Before 'dying,' Gongyang Mo's soul skill suddenly flew toward Ling Luochen.

This could not possibly be for Ling Luochen; there was only one answer, and that was the Lightning Leopard, Xixi.

This was the hope for Ma Xiaotao's team to turn the tables.

Xixi used her full strength, three of her five soul rings lighting up as she lunged straight at Ling Luochen.

The meteor shower in the sky also fell frantically.

Five seconds later, only Ma Xiaotao, Xixi, Dai Yueheng, Mu Xuanheng, and Gu Yuena remained on the field.

The massive figure of the White Tiger said, "You have lost." At this moment, Dai Yueheng had not yet deactivated his enhancement state.

The number of people remaining and their strength were enough to declare the match over, but Ma Xiaotao did not want to give up yet.

"Take them out!" Maintaining an enhancement also required soul power. They immediately moved to suppress Ma Xiaotao.

The terrifying Ultimate Ice completely suppressed Ma Xiaotao's flames, and Xixi was also swiped off the field by a claw from Dai Yueheng.

The outcome was easy to distinguish.

But the battle had ended far too quickly. "Recover your soul power for one hour, then fight again!" Xuan Zi was very dissatisfied with this mixed-match.

"Mu Xuanheng, Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao, and Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, Xiao Xiao, swap."

Once the swap candidates were announced, everyone was confused. Wang Yan, who was standing to the side, raised a question: "Elder Xuan, isn't this a bit unfair to Xiaotao? Swapping two starters for two reserves."

With five starters and two reserves against two starters and five reserves, it looked like Dai Yueheng's team had the advantage no matter how you looked at it.

Xuan Zi: "It is indeed unfair, but that's what happens when Xiaotao loses. I can only swap in stronger ones for her."

Wang Yan was stunned. Did that mean the same thing? Reserves were stronger than starters?

The six people swapped positions. Yan Shaozhe gave Ma Xiaotao a look, hoping she would perform well.

Ma Xiaotao understood Yan Shaozhe's meaning and looked at Mu Xuanheng. Just then, Gu Yuena stood over, blocking the view completely.

"Some people shouldn't just go through the motions. Who knows if that drifting Ultimate Ice is yours or Huo Yuhao's; and those elemental attacks flying everywhere, who knows if they are yours or Gu Yuena's."

Every sentence avoided naming names, yet every sentence was directed at Mu Xuanheng.

"Old man, I've been putting in the effort, alright? My coordination with my teammates was great." Mu Xuanheng's rebuttal lacked conviction because he really hadn't been putting in effort; he had been slacking off the entire time.

"You know it, kid. Fight properly for me in the next round."

Personnel for both sides confirmed: [Ma Xiaotao, Xixi, Mu Xuanheng, Gu Yuena, Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong]

[Dai Yueheng, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, Chen Zifeng, Ling Luochen, He Caitou, Xiao Xiao]

The rest period passed in a flash.

The new battlefield was divided, and both sides activated their martial souls once again.

"With Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan providing support, I can't hold back a triple-enhanced Dai Yueheng. You need to help me."

The competitive Ma Xiaotao also began to seek help.

A mass of flames, no less impressive than her own, hovered beside her. Gu Yuena used her strength to show her that someone was helping her.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong held hands, and the Haodong Power was activated.

Xixi immediately felt Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection and Sharing, and suddenly felt that her own soul skills were useless. With this soul skill, ambushing the back row would be much simpler.

"The match begins!"

After the previous battle, they would not choose to simply go all out.

If they failed to land a hit, it would be a huge opening for themselves, and they would be ruthlessly suppressed once the opportunity was seized.

Everyone started in a standard, conventional manner.

First and second soul skills were activated. Only a small number of people used their third soul skills.

Only Mu Xuanheng was different; he was about to make a move.

Ice crystals condensed beneath his feet, expanding rapidly into the surroundings. The terrifying chill made everyone shiver.

Xiao Xiao was rescued before she had even started.

"It's so cold, what on earth is this? Huo Yuhao, aren't you also Ultimate Ice? Why are you shivering too?" Wang Dong was already struggling to hold on.

"There are gaps even within Ultimate Ice. Senior Brother Xuanheng's Ultimate Ice is the coldest on the entire continent." Huo Yuhao only possessed the Ice Jade Scorpion, while Mu Xuanheng possessed the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and the even more powerful Xue Di.

Xuan Zi saw the effect of the soul skill: "Eternal Frozen Domain? He's really turning up the intensity?"

A long-range Dragon Claw strike was launched; Chen Zifeng had seen this move before and immediately swung his sword to parry it.

What followed was a combination of lightning and fire that briefly paralyzed Chen Zifeng, and Bei Bei immediately followed up with a crowd-control effect: "Myriad Lightning."

Mu Xuanheng's eyes turned snow-white, and Ling Luochen immediately sensed the suppression of her attributes; the absolute submission of an ordinary ice soul master to a king left her unable to muster any resistance, and she collapsed to the ground.

Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe knew clearly that in front of Xue Di, an ice-attribute soul master was truly nothing more than a toy. She was a natural-born king, an existence infinitely close to absolute zero.

But what happened next was completely beyond their expectations.

A roaring thunder appeared accompanied by a storm, and pitch-black clouds rolled in.

"What on earth is going on? Where did this lightning come from?"

Mu Xuanheng and Gu Yuena spoke in unison: "I never said that I could only control wind, fire, water, and ice. Lightning is also within my control."

Shock was the primary feeling for most, while Xuan Zi had already become numb to it.

Ma Xiaotao was overjoyed and immediately unleashed the Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike to restrict Dai Yueheng.

The rolling lightning did not simply fall vertically; there were also ball lightnings slowly moving across the arena.

Under Bei Bei's restriction, Chen Zifeng was forced to slash at a ball lightning with his Soul Chasing Sword, only to be immediately knocked unconscious by the electricity.

The brewing lightning soon crashed down from the black clouds. Yan Shaozhe quickly moved to rescue Chen Zifeng.

Below the level of a Soul Emperor, a single touch meant being stunned by electricity.

However, this did not mean that a Soul Emperor could take it head-on without injury.

Even with the double buffs from support-type soul masters combined with his own triple enhancements, Dai Yueheng's right hand went numb to the point of losing sensation just from a brief touch.

Paralysis was a powerful crowd-control effect. The roaring lightning in the sky was also ready to strike at any moment.

The outcome was decided in an instant.

Xuan Zi keenly sensed that this level of power was not something Mu Xuanheng could produce on his own.

The terrifying lightning, which approached the level of Ultimate Lightning, was more the result of the combined efforts of Mu Xuanheng and Gu Yuena.

"A coordination comparable to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill," Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but praise.

Ma Xiaotao huffed twice: "There was absolutely no room to perform at all."

Xuan Zi made a judgment; if he wanted to see their full strength, he would have to separate the two of them: "Mu Xuanheng and Yao Haoxuan, swap places. We'll have another match in half an hour."

The two, who were still panting heavily to recover their soul power, refused: "Refused. We've already fought two matches; we aren't fighting another one without reviewing the footage."

Mu Xuanheng was still being reasonable, but Gu Yuena was much more blunt: "Why does it have to be seven-on-seven? Why can't it just be the two of us fighting all twelve of them?"
