The Finals (Part Two)

The next second, another bronze mirror appeared beside the Sky-Breaking Spear. Ripples spread across the mirror's surface, and a figure wielding Giant Ring Blade emerged from it— Sun Chuantao's clone.

"Third Soul Skill, Mirror Clone!"

The clone, wielding a giant blade, followed Sun Chuantao's pattern and slashed at Sun Chuantao's main body, who had just regained his footing. At the same time, the amplification from Mirror Flower, Water Moon immediately fell on the clone, causing all its attributes to surge once again.

Clang!

The main body and the clone clashed head-on, and Sun Chuantao took another step back.

With the Soul Master of the Sky-Breaking Spear and Sun Chuantao's clone attacking from both sides, Sun Chuantao was suppressed to the point that he could barely withstand the opponent's attacks.

"Beautiful!" Hu Liena exclaimed. "He abandoned copying the support and instead copied the opponent's strongest offensive move, going it out two against one. He's planning to take down Sun Chuantao first."

"The idea is good," Ning Buhui said calmly, "But without the boost from Xu Yu's clone, the teammates might not be able to hold out until then."

Before he finished speaking, the other members of the blue team made their moves almost simultaneously.

Li Kai's Fourth Soul Ring lit up, and with a Savage Charge, he slammed solidly into the Iron Wall Ape Soul Master's chest. The Iron Wall Ape Soul Master was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, losing his ability to fight. Li Kai ignored the Iron Wall Ape Soul Master and immediately turned to help Sun Chuantao.

Next up was Wei Zhan. Without the support of Xu Yu's clone, the Mist Bell Soul Master's strength plummeted. Already only able to barely hold her own against Wei Zhan Wei Zhan, she was now completely overtaken. Then Wei Zhan roared, "Fourth Soul Skill, Mountain-Splitting Axe Strike!" The Mist Bell Soul Master only managed to parry with her copper bell before collapsing with a muffled groan, the bell rolling a considerable distance. Seeing this Wei Zhan immediately returned to Sun Chuantao's aid.

Without the boost from Xu Yu's clone, Shadow Cat was already weaker than Zhang Ping, and now it was being beaten so badly that it had no chance to fight back and couldn't escape. It was only a matter of time before it was defeated.

Seeing the situation change in an instant, the Phantom Bronze Mirror Soul Master could only hope that the Sky-Breaking Spear Soul Master and Sun Chuantao's clone could quickly eliminate Sun Chuantao and then dominate the match. After all, among these 10 people, if we only consider individual strength, Sun Chuantao is undoubtedly the strongest.

His own Soul Power was almost depleted. He could no longer use Reflecting Mirror Light in the short term, and he had done almost everything he could.

Xu Yu slowly walked forward and stopped five zhang away from him.

"Admit defeat," Xu Yu said. "You've done very well."

The Phantom Bronze Mirror Soul Master raised his head and looked at the other person. His face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was a little rapid, but his eyes were still bright.

We haven't lost yet.

The Phantom Bronze Mirror Soul Master's voice was very soft, yet it was like a pebble thrown into a calm pond.

Xu Yu frowned slightly. He could see clearly that the five people opposite him were lying on the ground, unable to get up; Mist Bell Iron Wall Ape slumped to the side; Shadow Cat was being tightly entangled by Zhang Ping; and Sky-Breaking Spear was being forced back step by step by Sun Chuantao. The Auxiliary System Soul Master in front of him was as pale as paper, and his Soul Power fluctuations were so weak that they were almost imperceptible.

In this situation, how can you say we haven't "lost" yet?

The next moment, he found out.

The Phantom Bronze Mirror Soul Master slammed his feet into the ground, pouring his last bit of Soul Power into the bronze mirror. The mirror did not expand or spread; instead, it contracted rapidly towards the center, transforming into a small mirror array about ten feet in diameter. This array enveloped Sun Chuantao, the Sky-Breaking Spear Soul Master, and their clone, like a light wall that suddenly rose up, blocking the way for Li Kai and Wei Zhan, who were about to return to provide support.

First Soul Skill: ' Mirror Maze '.

It wasn't a grand formation that covered the entire area, but rather a mirrored wall that precisely divided the battlefield.

"You—" Li Kai rushed to the mirror wall and crashed into it headfirst. With a muffled thud, the mirror didn't budge, but he was bounced back several steps.

Wei Zhan his axe and swung it. The axe blade struck the mirror, and the force was evenly distributed across all the mirrors. The mirror only wobbled, and the axe did not break.

Although this Mirror Maze is small, its damage tolerance limit is not lowered at all. To break through it, it would take at least two people working together for more than ten breaths.

And these ten breaths—are enough.

In the center of the battlefield, Sun Chuantao felt the pressure for the first time.

Sky-Breaking Spear alone was no match for him, but now he had an identical clone by his side, whose moves were exactly the same as his. It was two against one, and the clone also had the full attribute amplification of Mirror Flower, Water Moon, which made up for the difference in strength between him and the original.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

After three clashes, Sun Chuantao's tiger's mouth split open, and he staggered back five steps. He gritted his teeth and parried with his sword, but the spear of the Sky-Breaking Spear and the giant blade of the clone pressed down from the left and right at the same time, and his entire arm went numb.

"Captain!" Li Kai roared anxiously from the other side of the mirror, and slammed his head against it again.

The mirrored wall remained completely still.

In the stands, Yan clenched his fist. "That was brilliant! That last miniature maze was amazing; it wasn't meant to trap anyone, but only to hold off the enemy's reinforcements!"

"The maze's damage tolerance limit is fixed." Xie Yue's voice was deep. "No matter how small the maze is, it will still take time to break through it." He used this last maze to forcefully divide the battlefield into a 1v2 situation for Sun Chuantao.

"A clever scheme," Hu Liena said softly.

At the very back of the field, Xu Yu's expression finally changed.

He stepped forward and swung his Brilliant Gold Scepter. The three golden beams of light— the Edict of Strength, the Edict of Speed, and the Golden Radiance Shines Everywhere —no longer dispersed to his teammates, but instead poured into Li Kai and Wei Zhan outside the maze.

"Focus on breaking through the barriers!"

Their Soul Power surged. Li Kai lowered his head, and the earthy yellow light on his black horn shone brightly; Wei Zhan his axe with both hands, and his Third Soul Ring was as red as blood.

Boom! Boom!

Two heavy blows landed simultaneously on the mirror wall. The mirror trembled violently, and cracks spread like a spider web.

Seven breaths.

Behind the mirror wall, Sun Chuantao had already knelt down on one knee. He was covered in blood, his arm was trembling so much that he could barely hold the knife, but he gritted his teeth and refused to fall.

Eight breaths.

The cracks on the mirror wall were as dense as broken porcelain.

Nine breaths.

"Break!"

Li Kai and Wei Zhan unleashed their Fourth Soul Skill simultaneously. The mirror wall shattered with a deafening roar, and fragments of the bronze mirror flew everywhere.

But at the very moment the fragments scattered—

The Soul Master's spear, the Sky-Breaking Spear, pressed against Sun Chuantao's shoulder, forcing him to his knees. At the same time, the clone's giant blade fell, the back of the blade slamming into the back of Sun Chuantao's neck.

Sun Chuantao's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground, completely losing his ability to fight.

The strongest point has been removed.

"Captain!" Li Kai's eyes widened in fury as he charged towards the Soul Master with the Sky-Breaking Spear.

But just then, a gray figure suddenly appeared from the side.

Shadow Cat.

He had temporarily broken free from Zhang Ping's grasp at some point. His left arm hung limply at his sides, clearly broken, and a deep, bone-revealing claw mark on his chest was still oozing blood. Yet, like a reckless lone wolf, he ignored Zhang Ping's claws chasing after him and charged straight at Xu Yu at the back of the field.

He knew he was nearing his limit.

But he only needs one move.

"Third Soul Skill ' Shadow Raid '!"

With its last remaining right claw carrying the last wisp of Soul Power, it charged straight at Xu Yu. Its goal was to eliminate the opponent's support, even if it only temporarily rendered the opponent unable to fight.

Zhang Ping's sharp claws struck first, piercing his shoulder blade from behind. Shadow Cat shuddered, but instead of retreating, it used the force of the impact to advance, striking Xu Yu's neck with its right claw.

Xu Yu groaned and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Shadow Cat!" The Soul Master, Sky-Breaking Spear, was filled with rage.

Shadow Cat was kicked away by Zhang Ping and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled for a moment, but could not get up again. Yet he did it.

The Phantom Bronze Mirror Soul Master had been waiting for this very moment.

He poured all the little bit of Soul Power he had just recovered into his Fourth Soul Ring. The golden light of Mirror Flower, Water Moon was no longer stingy, falling entirely on the Soul Master of Sky-Breaking Spear and Sky-Breaking Spear.

All attribute increases stack.

The Soul Master with the Sky-Breaking Spear felt his blood and qi surge, his power breaking through a certain constraint. He roared and pointed his spear directly at Li Kai, who was charging towards him.

But he failed to stab.

The Mirror Flower, Water Moon golden light flashed on him for a moment, then dimmed. Sun Chuantao's clone beside him also vanished at the same time.

The Phantom Bronze Mirror Soul Master's knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground. The bronze mirror slipped from his hand and clattered onto the bluestone slab, never to shine again.

It turned out that Wei Zhan, seeing the situation was not good, abandoned the Sky-Breaking Spear Soul Master and went straight for the Bronze Mirror Soul Master. After Shadow Cat succeeded, he also got behind the Bronze Mirror Soul Master and stunned him.

The amplification that had just been fully stacked on Sky-Breaking Spear's body receded like a tide. He staggered a step, knelt on one knee, and leaned on his spear. His heavy breathing was particularly clear in the quiet arena.

The battlefield fell silent.

Li Kai remained frozen in mid-air, still in his charging posture, while Zhang Ping stood protectively in front of Xu Yu, maintaining a fighting stance.

The referee stepped forward, his gaze sweeping across the entire field.

Red Team: Iron Wall Ape fell to the ground, Mist Bell fainted, Shadow Cat lay paralyzed in a pool of blood, Phantom Bronze Mirror collapsed, Sky-Breaking Spear knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his spear—all five members were rendered unable to fight.

Blue Team: Sun Chuantao is unconscious, Xu Yu is unconscious, Li Kai has a bruised and swollen face, Wei Zhan is still in the position of stunning the Bronze Mirror Soul Master, Zhang Ping's breathing is disordered -- three of the five are still able to fight.

"The entire Red Team is incapacitated." The referee took a deep breath and raised the flag high.

"Blue Team - Xu Yu's Team, Wins!"
