Soto Great Soul Fighting Arena's central Soul Fighting Platform.
The crowd roared.
The clamor nearly blew the roof off.
The two sides were the renowned Imperial Fighting Team, which had successively defeated the local powerhouse teams.
And the Skywater Team, which had only arrived recently but had already risen to fame and won the affection of countless people.
Teams made entirely of beautiful women always drew the most attention.
"I'm Doudou, the host of this Soul Fighting Tournament. It's an honor to be here."
"Please prepare yourselves. The Soul Fighting Tournament is about to begin."
Doudou hovered in the air with a sweet smile, her voice equally pleasant.
At her words, both teams moved.
Imperial Fighting Team.
Yu Tianheng unleashed the domineering pressure of his thirty-ninth-rank Soul Power and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
Two yellow and one purple, three Soul Rings spun endlessly.
Pale violet poison coiled around Dugu Yan's fingertips. Her lower body transformed into a snake tail, while her eyes gleamed with cold emerald light as she stared fixedly at Shui Bing'er.
The brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo stood shoulder to shoulder.
Their Black Tortoise Martial Souls formed a solid defensive line.
Yu Feng took charge of the air, while Osler adapted to the situation from the flank.
Holding the Nine Heart Begonia, Ye Lingling stood at the very back, pale white light swirling around her.
As an extraordinarily powerful healer, she was absolutely the one who had to be targeted.
Yu Tianheng raised his eyes toward the Skywater Team, made up entirely of women, and a hint of arrogance curled at his lips.
Possessing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul meant he had never regarded any other beast Martial Soul highly.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the strongest in the world!
The seven members of the Skywater Team stood quietly.
Shui Bing'er wore a fitted ice-blue outfit. Chilling air naturally flowed around her as an aqua glow emerged.
Her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul flickered in and out of view within the light.
At the rear of the team, Xue Wu's black hair fell down her back, her Martial Soul, Slender Dance Snow Satin, trembling softly.
Shui Yue'er and the others stood behind Shui Bing'er, all possessing fish-type Martial Souls.
Shui Bing'er calmly swept her gaze over the Imperial Fighting Team before finally settling it on Ye Lingling. She had already planned how this Soul Fighting Tournament would unfold.
Doudou circled through the air, her voice amplified by a Soul Tool. "The rules for this team battle are as follows: anyone who loses the ability to fight, falls out of bounds, or can no longer activate their Martial Soul is defeated! Begin!"
Yu Tianheng made the first move. All three Soul Rings lit up at once as he let out a fierce roar.
Countless bolts of blue lightning burst from his dragon claws.
He unleashed his third Soul Skill, Thunder Fury, and charged Shui Bing'er head-on.
The others moved as well.
The coordination among the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team had long been polished to perfection, with every role clearly assigned.
Just then.
A layer of crystalline ice armor appeared over every member of the Skywater Team, greatly increasing their defenses.
"Follow my command."
Shui Bing'er's expression sharpened as her spiritual power locked onto all seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team.
In an instant.
Aside from the flying Yu Feng, who escaped the attack, the other six members of the Imperial Fighting Team were all sealed in ice.
The arena's temperature plummeted.
The biting frost caused Dugu Yan's poison to fail outright, turning into icy fragments that scattered across the ground.
Without needing Shui Bing'er's reminder, Shui Yue'er and the others had already rushed toward Ye Lingling at the back of the Imperial Fighting Team.
With the help of the icy domain created by Shui Bing'er, they moved thirty percent faster than usual.
"Not good!"
Though Yu Tianheng's body had been frozen, his mind remained clear.
He immediately went all out, struggling desperately to break free from the Ice Seal.
"Break!"
Gritting his teeth, Yu Tianheng used all his strength to shatter the power of the Ice Seal from within.
His roar echoed throughout the arena.
"You think mere cold can stop me!?"
Lightning surged wildly over Yu Tianheng's entire body.
He kicked off the ground and rushed toward Shui Yue'er and the others, who were trying to attack Ye Lingling.
"Yu Feng!"
He shouted in a low voice.
Among the seven, only Yu Feng had not been sealed in ice. His reaction was swift, and he immediately flew back in front of Ye Lingling.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Dugu Yan and the others broke free one after another.
They now formed a reverse encirclement, surrounding Shui Yue'er and the others.
"Now."
Shui Bing'er's clear, cold voice spread across the arena as every Soul Ring beneath her feet lit up.
Xue Wu echoed her, and two currents of Soul Power—one ice, one snow—fused with a thunderous force.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered overhead.
Fine crystalline snowflakes fell from the clouds, every snow blade as sharp as steel.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Snow Drifting!
The countless spinning snow blades formed a massive vortex of ice and snow, tightly enclosing all seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team.
"Not good, we've fallen into their trap!"
"It's a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"They wanted us to gather together so they could wipe us out in one go!"
Dugu Yan reacted quickly and instantly understood Shui Bing'er's plan.
"You only figured it out now? That's far too late."
"You can't withstand this move."
As Shui Yue'er finished speaking, she and her companions attacked Ye Lingling without hesitation.
"Bang!!!"
Even though they were being attacked as well, they still had to knock Ye Lingling off the platform.
Ye Lingling had no combat ability and had remained frozen in ice from beginning to end.
"What!?"
Yu Tianheng was shocked.
Not only because Ye Lingling had been knocked off the platform, but because Shui Yue'er and the other four had followed her off the platform without the slightest hesitation.
"Everyone, be careful! It's coming!"
Shi Mo shouted in a deep voice.
He and Shi Mo stood at the front, resisting the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.
Dense blades of ice and snow continuously battered the brothers' Black Tortoise shields.
The surfaces of their heavy tortoise shields froze at a frightening speed. Cold seeped through the shields and invaded the brothers' bodies, rapidly stiffening their limbs and causing their defenses to plummet.
"Hold on!"
Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and held on with all his strength.
"Ah!"
Yu Feng was the first to fail, swept off the platform by the blizzard.
His body was already covered in bloody wounds.
Without Ye Lingling continuously healing them from the rear, Yu Tianheng and the others were soon covered in injuries.
"While I can still stop, it's not too late for you to surrender." Shui Bing'er's voice came from behind the blizzard.
The vortex of ice and snow gradually contracted inward.
Thousands upon thousands of snow blades merged into one, and a seven-meter-long azure Ice Phoenix dove from the clouds.
"We can't hold on!"
The Shi brothers, who had borne the greatest pressure, were sent flying by the Ice Phoenix.
Wrapped in extreme cold, the Ice Phoenix crashed head-on into Yu Tianheng and the others.
"Boom—!"
When the Ice Phoenix descended, a deafening explosion rang out.
Ice and snow flew everywhere as freezing mist spread through the arena.
Those with sharp enough eyesight could see several figures lying in the mist, their faces deathly pale, their lips purple, and their eyes tightly shut.
Among the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team, Ye Lingling, who had been eliminated first, had fared the best.
The ice and snow gradually dissipated, leaving half the platform covered in a thick layer of ice.
All seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team had lost their ability to fight.
Doudou froze for a moment before loudly announcing, "The Skywater Team wins this team Soul Fighting Tournament! Let us give the Skywater Team our loudest cheers!"
Ji Bai noticed Ye Lingling's condition and stepped forward to inspect her. A ball of golden flame appeared in his hand as he thought, She's an extraordinary healer, a medical miracle. Don't let her freeze to death...
