Xue Qinghe's gaze lingered for a moment.
Yu Tianheng stood before the spirit fighting platform.
The Soul Power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon circulated slowly within him.
At Long Tian's response, a hint of pride appeared on his handsome face.
"Who leads Skywater Academy is unimportant."
"Today's winner will only be Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of the Emperor Team members.
Yu Feng crossed his arms over his chest.
"Tianheng is right."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the supreme Martial Soul of the Upper Three Sects. Among Soul Masters of the same rank, who can confront Tianheng head-on?"
Osler looked over the Skywater girls.
"Skywater Academy excels at coordinated control, but their frontal strength is lacking."
"Against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, their so-called ice control will have no chance to show its worth."
Shi Mo and Shi Mo said nothing.
Yet the contempt on the brothers' faces was completely undisguised.
Dugu Yan walked to Yu Tianheng's side.
Her jade-green eyes swept across the Skywater Team.
"The outcome of this exchange match was decided long ago."
"How long Skywater Academy can hold out is the only thing worth watching."
Shui Yue'er's pretty face darkened.
"The match hasn't even started. What makes you think Skywater will definitely lose?"
Xue Wu also stepped half a pace forward.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy may possess the Empire's resources, but that doesn't mean the Emperor Team can suppress every academy."
Yu Hairou and the others looked at their opponents, all feeling deeply displeased.
From the moment the Emperor Team entered the venue, they had never truly taken Skywater seriously.
Shui Bing'er stood at Long Tian's side.
Her clear eyes settled on Yu Tianheng.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is indeed powerful."
"But a spirit fight is not decided by the name of one's Martial Soul."
Yu Tianheng smiled faintly.
"Once the match begins, you'll naturally understand the gap between us."
At the edge of the spirit fighting platform.
Xue Qinghe heard every word exchanged between the two sides.
The Emperor Team had Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, and their overall Soul Power was also higher than Skywater's.
On the surface, Heaven Dou Royal Academy truly held the advantage.
Yet the newly appointed Skywater captain did not show the slightest hint of nervousness.
Xue Qinghe's gaze fell on Long Tian once more.
"What kind of power does the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul possess?"
A moment later.
The referee in charge of the exchange match stepped onto the spirit fighting platform.
"Contestants from both sides, enter the arena."
Long Tian led the Skywater Team slowly up the steps.
He walked at the front.
Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, Yu Hairou, Gu Qingbo, and Shen Liuyu followed closely behind.
The Emperor Team took the stage at the same time.
The two sides stopped several dozen meters apart.
After confirming the participants, the referee raised his right hand.
"This exchange match will end when one side loses the ability to fight or voluntarily admits defeat."
"Deliberately taking lives is forbidden."
"Prepare yourselves."
Yu Tianheng suddenly stepped out from his team.
"There's no need for everyone to act against Skywater."
"I'll take the first round myself."
Dugu Yan's brows twitched slightly.
"Tianheng, don't underestimate them."
"Don't worry."
Yu Tianheng flexed his wrist.
"With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, I alone am enough to suppress the entire Skywater Team."
The other six Emperor Team members retreated.
The Skywater girls' expressions changed at once when they saw this.
Shui Yue'er was so angry that her chest rose and fell.
"One person challenging the Skywater Team?"
"That's far too insulting!"
Xue Wu stared fixedly at Yu Tianheng.
"Since he wants to fight alone, then we'll make him pay the price."
Yu Hairou clenched her fists.
"The Skywater Team has never suffered such contempt."
Shui Bing'er did not act immediately, instead looking toward Long Tian.
"Captain, what are your orders?"
Long Tian gazed calmly ahead.
"Let him make the first move."
"See the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clearly."
Shui Bing'er nodded lightly.
The Skywater girls swiftly shifted their positions.
Xue Wu retreated to the rear.
Shui Bing'er stood at the very front.
Shui Yue'er and Gu Qingbo guarded the left and right flanks.
Yu Hairou and Shen Liuyu stood ready to launch close-range attacks at any time.
The referee lowered his hand.
"Begin!"
Yu Tianheng's eyes instantly turned blue-violet.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, possess me!"
Boom!
Violent lightning burst from his body.
Blue-violet lightning snakes raced wildly across the spirit fighting platform, blackening great swathes of stone tiles.
Yu Tianheng's right arm rapidly swelled.
A layer of blue-violet dragon scales covered his skin, and his five fingers transformed into sharp dragon claws.
Two yellow and one purple Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet in succession.
The phantom of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon coiled behind him.
Tyrannical dragon might pressed toward the Skywater girls.
Shui Yue'er's breathing stalled.
Even the circulation of Soul Power within her body was affected.
"Worthy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
Xue Wu brought her hands together.
"Don't let him get close!"
The first yellow Soul Ring lit up.
Yu Tianheng pushed off the ground fiercely, his burly body shooting forward.
Blue-violet lightning left behind a dazzling trail.
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Lightning gathered around his right arm.
The massive phantom of a dragon claw tore through the air, hurtling straight toward the Skywater formation.
Shui Bing'er immediately raised both hands.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"
A vast chill spread across the spirit fighting platform.
Deep-blue ice rapidly condensed, forming several thick walls of ice.
Gu Qingbo and Shui Yue'er unleashed their Soul Skills at the same time.
Two currents of water met before the ice walls, turning into a surging curtain of water.
Boom!
The Thunder Dragon Claw slammed heavily into the water curtain.
Violent lightning rapidly spread along the flowing water.
Shui Yue'er's face turned pale, and both of her arms went numb from the shock.
The next moment.
The lightning pierced through the water curtain and struck the layers of ice walls.
Crack!
The solid ice shattered one layer after another.
Countless shards of ice scattered in every direction.
Shui Bing'er retreated two steps, her Soul Power churning within her body.
Xue Wu promptly activated her Soul Power, and snowflakes swiftly began falling from the sky.
Ice and snow gathered before the Skywater girls, finally blocking the remaining lightning.
With only his first Soul Skill.
The six Skywater members had joined forces to defend, yet still found it extremely difficult.
Yu Tianheng stood amid the crackling lightning.
His dragon-scaled right arm slowly rose.
"Is this the strength of the Skywater Team?"
"Six people working together only barely blocked my first Soul Skill."
"Shui Bing'er, if you admit defeat now, you can still preserve a little dignity."
Shui Yue'er immediately spoke up.
"Don't get cocky!"
"We just weren't prepared!"
Yu Tianheng ignored her.
Blue-violet lightning burst from his right arm once again.
"If your strength is lacking, no amount of preparation will matter."
Standing at the rear, Dugu Yan glanced at the silent Long Tian.
"You've tested them enough."
"Don't waste any more time."
Jade-green Soul Power spread from beneath Dugu Yan's feet.
Two yellow and one purple Soul Rings slowly rose.
Her long legs gradually fused together, transforming into a serpent tail covered in jade-green scales.
"Jade Phosphorous Serpent, possess me!"
The other Emperor Team members also released their Martial Souls at the same time.
Black Tortoise.
Wind Chime Bird.
Ghost Leopard.
Nine-Heart Begonia.
One powerful Martial Soul after another appeared on the spirit fighting platform.
Heavy Soul Power pressed down upon the Skywater Team.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo charged out first.
Two Black Tortoise Carapaces shielded them as they crashed directly into Skywater's control zone.
Shui Bing'er unleashed Ice Seal again.
The ice had barely covered the carapaces before the brothers forcibly shattered it with their strength.
Yu Feng spread his wings and dove down from high above.
A dense barrage of wind blades fell toward Xue Wu, interrupting the ice and snow she had been gathering.
Osler turned into a black shadow and cut into the Tianshui formation from the side.
Yu Hairou hurried forward to block him.
The moment they collided, she was forced back by the impact of the Ghost Leopard Martial Soul.
Emerald-green poisonous mist spread from Dugu Yan as well.
The Tianshui girls retreated again and again.
Their previously intact formation was swiftly torn apart by the Emperor Team.
Shui Yue'er raised an arm to block a wind blade, and a sharp pain shot through it.
"How is their Soul Power so strong?"
Xue Wu regained her footing.
"The Emperor Team's average Soul Power is far higher than Tianshui's."
"If this continues, everyone will be separated."
Yu Tianheng charged to the front of the group once more.
Blue-violet lightning coiled around his body.
"Surrender early, and you won't have to suffer like this."
"There is an unbridgeable gap between Skywater Academy and the Emperor Team."
Shui Bing'er lifted her eyes.
The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul spread its wings behind her.
But the Black Tortoise blocked the front, while wind blades and the Ghost Leopard continued to interfere.
Dugu Yan's poisonous mist was still closing in.
With Tianshui's original strength alone, it truly would be difficult to break the Emperor Team's coordination.
Just then.
A resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the entire Great Soul Arena.
Roar—
Nine-Colored Divine Light shot into the sky from the center of the Tianshui formation.
Brilliant radiance illuminated the Soul Arena platform.
The spreading emerald-green poisonous mist actually stopped in midair after touching the Nine-Colored Divine Light.
