Azure Flame Dragon Shadow

The smoke of the one-on-one round had yet to fully clear when the referee's even more impassioned voice rang through the Azure Dragon Arena:

"The one-on-one round has concluded! The Li Family has 4 points, and the Thick Earth Sect has 3! Next, we will proceed with four two-on-two matches! The winner of each match earns 2 points!"

The atmosphere tightened once more. While the one-on-one matches had been intense, they had primarily showcased individual strength. Two-on-two matches truly tested a team's rapport, coordination, and tactical ability. For teams aspiring to go further, team battles were the true core.

The large screen began displaying the first pair of contestants submitted by both sides.

Li Family: Li Xuanqing, level 71 Assault-type, Azure Flame Phoenix; Li Qiuqiu, level 71 Assault-type, Rouge Dragon.

Thick Earth Sect: Shi Lei, level 74 Control-type, Profound Heavy Mountain; Zhou Ying, level 69 Support-type, Earthsurge Lotus Platform.

The moment the lineup appeared, discussion erupted in the stands.

"The Thick Earth Sect sent out their captain, Shi Lei, right away! Looks like they're going all out to turn things around in the two-on-two round!"

"That Zhou Ying's martial soul is the Earthsurge Lotus Platform. I heard it's a rare earth-element support-defense martial soul that can provide powerful ground protection and Soul Power recovery. Paired with Shi Lei's Profound Heavy Mountain, they're practically a moving fortress!"

"The Li Family has... two Assault-types? Isn't that a little too aggressive? Won't they lack control?"

"Did you forget Li Qiuqiu's Annihilation attribute? That thing specializes in breaking defenses! Add Li Xuanqing's area-wide burning, and heh, this should be fun!"

On the arena stage, all four fighters were already in position.

Shi Lei stood at the front of the Thick Earth Sect pair, his expression calm and his aura as heavy as a mountain.
