Below the Soul Fighting, the overwhelming cheers almost lifted the roof off. Dugu Yan's decisive move not only broadened the audience's horizons but also made the Imperial Fighting Team's reputation resound throughout Heaven Dou City.
After the match, the emerald green poisonous mist on the arena gradually dissipated at Gu Tian's signal. In preparation for the upcoming two-on-two sparring, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling took the initiative to go up on stage to restore the Soul Power of the Blazing Academy members who were slumped on the ground.
As the soft white light of the Nine Heart Begonia and the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison withdrew, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's faces finally turned from purple to red, and they gasped for breath.
" Yanzi, your poison attacks... have improved quite frighteningly." Huo Wu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, her eyes filled with complex emotions. As her old rival, she knew that although Dugu Yan's poisons were troublesome before, they were never as pervasive as they were today, and could even produce a qualitative change in their effects with flames.
Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow with a hint of smugness, brushed a strand of purple hair behind her ear, and subconsciously replied, "That's because... if it weren't for Gu Tian personally taking care of me every day..."
She was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly felt a hot, somewhat stiff gaze from behind her. Dugu Yan abruptly realized that Yu Tianheng was standing right next to her, her cheeks instantly flushing red. The rest of her words caught in her throat, and she changed her words, saying, "... Personally designing a special training plan for me? How could I possibly improve like that?"
Although Yu Tianheng didn't say anything, his previously relaxed brows furrowed unconsciously once again.
Huo Wu, oblivious to the subtle atmosphere, stared intently at Gu Tian not far away, her mind churning: This young man was indeed a variable. If she could obtain a method from him to increase the purity of her flames, perhaps Blazing Academy could truly surpass that limit.
"What should I offer as a bargaining chip?" Huo Wu pondered to herself, her gaze sweeping over Gu Tian. A bold and dangerous idea flashed through her mind.
A moment later, the group moved to the adjacent No. 2 meeting room.
This venue is slightly smaller but more refined, and is specifically designed for high-level two-on-two matches. A few seasoned gamblers and coaches who had just arrived were sparsely seated in the stands.
" Gu Tian, although we lost the team battle just now, I've already seen through the logic behind your freeze control." Huo Wushuang stood on the arena, the aura of the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon rising once more. "Trying to replicate that won't be so easy!"
"Really? I'm looking forward to it." Gu Tian smiled slightly, and Meng Yiran beside him also stepped forward.
"Both sides, unleash your Martial Soul!"
boom--!
Behind Huo Wushuang, the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon let out a furious roar; Huo Wu was surrounded by layers of red shadows.
As Gu Tian stepped out, the light in the entire venue seemed to dim for a moment. A phantom of a Chaos Dragon God, surrounded by Nine-Colored Divine Light, slowly emerged behind him. The dragon's eyes were closed, and the mere trace of majesty it exuded caused Huo Wushuang's Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to feel an instinctive fear, causing its Soul Power circulation to slow down by half a beat.
Meng Yiran also revealed her Snake Head Cane. With the blessing of the fusion of the Man Faced Demon Spider and the Mandala Snake, the Serpent Cane was a strange purple-gold color. The snake head at the top of the staff had blood-red eyes and flicked its foul-smelling tongue, which was extremely oppressive.
The battle erupted instantly!
Huo Wushuang, Fire Shadow straight towards Gu Tian.
"Second Soul Skill: Azure Radiance!"
Gu Tian pressed his right hand down in the air, and without warning, several huge jets of water shot out from the ground.
"Hmph, just as I expected, they want to put her on an IV drip first and then Ice Seal!" Huo Wushuang had anticipated this and shouted, "Sister!"
"First Soul Skill: Resisting Ring of Fire!" Huo Wu shouted, and a ring of crimson fire instantly spread out, forcefully pushing away the approaching water column.
"Second Soul Skill: Blazing Flame Radiance!" Huo Wushuang's body blazed with intense flames, condensing two thick fire element shields that completely isolated him from the water element. In his view, as long as he didn't get wet, Gu Tian's Absolute Zero couldn't seal him off instantly.
" Gu Tian, I'll add something extra!"
"First Soul Skill: Snake Blade!"
Meng Yiran twisted her body, and the snake head at the top of her Serpent Cane suddenly opened its blood-red maw, unleashing several dark purple tongue blades coated with potent poison that shot out and accurately struck the spraying water columns. The originally clear water instantly turned inky purple, carrying a strong corrosive odor, and continuously eroded Huo Wushuang's protective shield.
"Quickly finish this! Huo Wu!"
Despite the corrosive effects of the poisonous water, Huo Wushuang closed in and grabbed at Gu Tian. Huo Wu coordinated perfectly, conjuring countless fiery meteors with her hands, blocking all of Gu Tian's escape routes.
"Is this all you've got?"
Standing amidst a sky full of shooting stars, Gu Tian's expression was chillingly calm. "Don't you all know... that besides water, I also possess Ultimate Fire?"
"First Soul Skill: Burning Sun of the Thousand Radiance!"
Dark golden flames exploded from Gu Tian's body. The swooping fire meteors, upon contact with the dark golden flames, seemed to extinguish and dissipate on their own, like subjects meeting their king.
"Domain Technique: Red Lotus Karma Fire Domain - Activate!"
Buzz--!
A gigantic phantom of Hong Lian bloomed on the arena floor. In an instant, the temperature of the entire arena soared to an extremely terrifying level.
However, something happened that stunned Gu Tian.
Within the Hong Lian Domain, not only did his attack power surge, but the Soul Power of Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang on the other side also increased wildly. Even the ordinary flames they released began to evolve towards the level of Ultimate Fire under the influence of the domain's aura.
"What's going on?" Gu Tian hurriedly asked in his sea of consciousness, "Sister Chiyan, why does this domain also strengthen the enemy?"
Lazy on the sofa in the Sea of Consciousness Villa, with his legs crossed, Chiyan replied matter-of-factly, "Of course. How arrogant is the Dragon God's status? The Dragon Clan never needs to weaken their opponents to win. In the Hong Lian Domain, all flames submit. I grant them the ultimate entry ticket, allowing them to be defeated by you at their peak. That is the romance and arrogance of the Dragon Clan!"
Gu Tian: "..."
He was speechless, but had to admit that this kind of fairness was indeed very much in Dragon God.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were completely stunned. They felt that the flames within their bodies had never been so pure and smooth, and the power that seemed to burn away all living beings almost intoxicated them.
"This feeling... is wonderful!" Huo Wushuang's eyes were filled with fervor as he charged forward again, " Gu Tian, take my strongest attack!"
"The romance is over."
Gu Tian didn't want to delay any longer, and the dragon bone in his right hand shone brightly. " Fire Dragon King Right Arm Bone Skill: Fire Dragon Mountain-Crushing Force!"
Without any fancy moves, Gu Tian simply threw a simple, unadorned punch.
With the enhancement of that Ultimate Fire domain, the power of this punch was amplified several times. Huo Wushuang didn't even have time to react before his proud defensive shield was torn apart like paper. He was blasted out of the arena boundary by the overwhelming force and crashed heavily into the protective net.
Just then, Huo Wu was about to launch her final attack when she discovered that the dark golden flames around her had suddenly gone out.
The Resisting Ring of Fire lasted only one minute. The instant the fire ring was removed, the poisonous water that had filled the air quickly soaked into her skirt.
"Now that we've had enough of playing with fire, let's cool things down."
With a light tap of his fingertip, Gu Tian unleashed another wave of extreme frost. Huo Wu didn't even have time to utter a cry of alarm before she was frozen into a crystalline ice sculpture, frozen in place in her spellcasting pose.
"The two-on-two sparring match has resulted in a victory for Gu Tian and Meng Yiran!"
The host, Doudou, trembled as her voice echoed in the deathly silent hall. The students from the Blazing Academy in the stands were ashen-faced, while Gu Tian, still warm from the Hong Lian Domain, calmly walked towards Huo Wu, who was still Huo Wu in Ice Seal.
