Qian Chen Against Seven! Crushing the Entire Arena!

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"

Shui Bing'er raised her hand.

The curtain of cold suddenly contracted, and several ice pillars burst from beneath the Imperial Fighting Team's feet.

Yu Tianheng shattered the ice pillar before him with a punch.

Blue-violet lightning tore through the frigid curtain.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Thunderbolt!"

Dense arcs of lightning descended from midair.

The Skywater Team quickly scattered.

Shui Yue'er released a stream of water that entangled Osler's feet.

The remaining students unleashed their Soul Skills, restraining the Imperial Fighting Team from the flanks.

Shui Bing'er stood at the rear, her hands constantly forming seals.

The mist grew denser.

A thick layer of solid ice formed across the ground.

Osler flashed aside, avoiding the water's restraint, and charged straight at Shui Yue'er.

"First Soul Skill, Hell Stab!"

The black figure left an afterimage across the arena.

Shui Yue'er hurriedly retreated.

Shui Bing'er immediately raised her hand.

An ice wall rose between them.

Osler smashed through the ice wall, but his attack lost some of its force.

Seizing the chance, Shui Yue'er retreated. Water-blue Soul Power covered her arms as she fired several water arrows in succession.

Osler twisted aside to evade them.

Yu Tianheng was already charging in from the other side.

"Thunderclap Dragon Claw!"

The blue-violet dragon claw tore through the air, striking directly at Shui Bing'er's face.

Shui Bing'er slid backward across the ice.

Rather than take it head-on, she used the icy surface to retreat swiftly.

The dragon claw grazed her sleeve.

A tear opened in the water-blue fabric.

A streak of blood appeared on Shui Bing'er's arm.

She frowned slightly and raised her hands again.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Ring Armor!"

White ice armor covered her entire body.

Her aura rose with it.

Shui Yue'er and the others continued unleashing their Soul Skills.

The Skywater Team coordinated seamlessly.

Using the cold air throughout the arena, they actually managed to withstand the Imperial Fighting Team's relentless offensive for a time.

The Skywater Academy students in the stands held their breath.

Shui Xinrou, who had already lost all expectation, looked back toward the arena.

"Bing'er and the others are coordinating better than before."

Shui Xinlian nodded.

"They experienced a life-or-death crisis in the Far North. Naturally, their coordination has become much tighter."

In the arena.

Shui Bing'er seized the opening after Yu Tianheng's attack and released a wide expanse of frost.

Solid ice spread upward from Yu Tianheng's legs.

Yu Tianheng immediately summoned lightning and shattered the ice layer.

Shui Yue'er took the opportunity to attack from the side.

Two water blades fell at once.

Yu Tianheng raised an arm to block them and was forced back several steps.

"Interesting."

He looked at Shui Bing'er.

"Unfortunately, the gap in Soul Power is simply too great."

Yu Tianheng charged out again.

Lightning gathered in the center of the arena.

Dugu Yan's emerald-green mist also pressed in from the side.

Ye Lingling continuously used healing Soul Skills to restore her teammates' injuries.

The Imperial Fighting Team's coordination gradually gained the upper hand.

All six of Shui Bing'er's group were injured in succession.

Shui Yue'er took a wind blade from Yu Feng on the shoulder and staggered back several steps.

Another student was sent flying by the Black Tortoise Shell of the Shi brothers and could not rise after hitting the ground.

Shui Bing'er forcibly gathered cold air and blocked Yu Tianheng's lightning attack.

But the ice armor on her body shattered as well.

Blood seeped from her sleeve, staining the water-blue fabric red.

She turned to look at Qian Chen.

Qian Chen still stood at the rear.

His gaze rested on Shui Bing'er, his expression unchanged.

Shui Bing'er bit her red lip.

"We can keep going."

She raised her hand.

The phantom of the Ice Phoenix spread its wings once more.

Shui Yue'er and the others seized the opportunity and reorganized their offensive.

But the gap in Soul Power was not something coordination could completely overcome.

Once the Imperial Fighting Team stabilized their formation, their assault became even fiercer.

A moment later.

Shui Yue'er was forced back by Dugu Yan's emerald-green mist.

Her legs lost their strength, and she collapsed at the edge of the arena.

Another student was struck by a wind blade raised by Yu Feng and fell to the ground.

Shui Bing'er stood before the last remaining student.

She had already expended a great deal of Soul Power.

Fatigue showed through her fair face. Her long bangs were soaked with sweat and clung to the side of her brow.

Yu Tianheng closed in again.

Shui Bing'er forcibly raised both hands.

An ice shield condensed before her.

Lightning struck.

The ice shield shattered instantly.

Shui Bing'er was blasted away, sliding several meters across the ice.

She braced herself with one arm and tried to stand, only to realize that her Soul Power was nearly exhausted.

Shui Yue'er struggled to lift her head.

"Sister!"

Shui Bing'er did not answer.

She looked at Qian Chen in the distance.

Qian Chen finally stepped forward.

But Shui Bing'er raised a hand to stop him.

"It isn't over yet."

She stood, supporting herself on her knees.

Determination still remained in her water-blue eyes.

Qian Chen stopped.

"Fine."

Shui Bing'er turned back around.

This time, she held nothing back.

The Ice Phoenix phantom soared into the sky.

The temperature throughout the entire Spirit Arena rapidly dropped.

Snowflakes drifted down from above.

Her third and second Soul Rings lit up at the same time.

"Ice Seal!"

"Repelling Ice Ring!"

The two Soul Skills erupted simultaneously.

Cold air blanketed the arena.

The Imperial Fighting Team's movements were forcibly slowed.

Using the last of her strength, Shui Bing'er condensed an enormous Ice Phoenix.

The Ice Phoenix spread its wings and charged at the Imperial Fighting Team amid a sky full of icy radiance.

Yu Tianheng raised his right arm.

"Thunderclap Dragon Claw!"

Lightning collided head-on with the Ice Phoenix.

Boom!

Violent Soul Power swept outward.

The Ice Phoenix shattered amid the lightning.

Shui Bing'er staggered back and finally dropped to one knee.

The phantom of her martial soul slowly faded behind her.

Shui Yue'er and the others had all lost their ability to fight as well.

In the vast Spirit Arena, only Qian Chen remained standing.

Shui Xinrou was utterly stunned.

She looked at Qian Chen in the arena, her heart filled with confusion.

"Why did Bing'er arrange for him to enter the match?"

"Did she really think Qian Chen alone could fight the Imperial Fighting Team?"

Shui Xinlian, however, let out a breath of relief.

She had long guessed that this would be the outcome.

Qian Chen had held the line at the edge of the arena, allowing Shui Bing'er and the other five to give everything they had.

Now, they had displayed their limits.

Next, it was Qian Chen's turn.

In the stands.

Xue Qinghe's gaze had remained fixed on Qian Chen.

Her fingers slowly tightened.

"Is he finally going to make his move?"

When Qian Chen had saved Shui Bing'er earlier, she had already sensed that there was something extraordinary about him.

Yet even now, she still could not see through Qian Chen.

Yu Tianheng stared at Qian Chen as well.

He was very curious.

Just what kind of strength did this male student, whom Skywater Academy had exceptionally admitted, possess?

Osler stepped forward several paces.

Looking at Qian Chen, the only person left standing in the arena, mockery appeared on his face again.

"You're the only one left."

"Will you surrender on your own, or do you need my help getting down?"

Qian Chen lifted his eyes toward the Imperial Fighting Team.

Ignoring Shui Bing'er and the others lying at the edge of the arena, he merely said calmly:

"Come at me together."

As soon as those words fell.

The entire Spirit Arena fell silent.

The Skywater Academy students in the stands widened their eyes.

Shui Xinrou stood frozen in place.

Osler looked as though he had misheard.

"What did you say?"

Qian Chen did not repeat himself.

Osler's expression darkened.

"You want all of us to attack together?"

Qian Chen nodded.

"Yes."

Osler's face turned ugly.

"To deal with you alone, the Imperial Fighting Team needs to act together?"

"I alone am enough!"
