The third purple Soul Ring beneath Zhou Hanyou's feet finally lit up, and her entire aura changed accordingly. The white ice mist around her suddenly solidified, and then her skin turned ice blue. A strange and incomparably cold aura permeated her entire being.
She knew she could no longer hold back. The entire team was at a disadvantage; if things continued like this, elimination was only a matter of time. She
had to turn the tide!
Zhou Hanyou's third Soul Skill was called Ice Spirit. It was also an elemental amplification Soul Skill, just like Gu Yue's. But a hundred years and a thousand years were obviously not comparable, let alone this being her third Soul Skill.
Numerous ice spikes quickly appeared around Zhou Hanyou's body. With the enhancement of Ice Spirit, each ice spike she released this time was over a meter long, releasing not only a chilling aura but also a powerful, sharp energy.
The terrifying cold almost froze the arena. Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw had just torn apart the thorny vines in front of him when Zhou Hanyou's attack caught his attention.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiuran was also attacked by Zhou Hanyou's ice spikes. She unleashed ice spikes almost across the entire arena, leaving virtually no room for anyone except herself and her teammates.
While these ice spikes posed no real threat to Lin Xiuran, they significantly relieved the pressure on Wang Dongqi,
preventing her from being at a constant disadvantage in her fight against Lin Xiuran.
Tang Wulin, closest to Zhou Hanyou, suffered the most damage, overwhelmed by the combined attacks of ice spikes and ice walls.
Zhou Hanyou showed no mercy, instantly launching a blue energy ball that exploded right in front of Tang Wulin. Even with his quick reaction and timely use of soul power to protect himself, he still couldn't stop it.
He was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, nearly fainting.
He was, after all, only a one-ring Soul Master, a far cry from a three-ring Soul Venerable. This was understandable, given Zhou Hanyou
's near-full-power attack; he couldn't possibly withstand it. However, just as Zhou Hanyou was about to press her advantage and take down Lin Xiuran and Gu Yue,
a barrage of elemental attacks rapidly descended upon them.
It wasn't Gu Yue; she was still beside Tang Wulin, deflecting the remaining ice spikes.
Therefore, the only one who could have attacked was Lin Xiuran!
And indeed, Lin Xiuran displayed his formidable three-ring strength, once again using the Fire Phoenix he had used against Ye Xinglan.
Zhou Hanyou's attribute was ice, naturally countered by fire; Lin Xiuran understood the principle of elemental counteraction.
However, this time the Fire Phoenixes were different from those against Ye Xinglan—there were three of them, but they lacked the same power and elemental strength.
"Be careful!" Zhou Hanyou's face tightened, and she hurriedly used ice walls to defend herself, but the power of the Fire Phoenix directly shattered several ice walls.
Zhou Tian'er was in the same situation; her wood attribute was completely countered by fire, and her thorny vines were helpless, all being directly disintegrated.
Only Wang Dongqi fared slightly better, not being countered, and struggled to hold on using Lightning Sword light.
But what surprised them was that these three Fire Phoenixes seemed to have come alive, flying towards the three of them without directly colliding with them and causing an explosion.
Instead, they collided with their Soul Skills and dodged.
After attacking, the three Fire Phoenixes flew into the sky at the same time, colliding together, and the three Phoenixes directly merged into one giant Fire Phoenix.
A Phoenix cry resounded throughout the entire area, and Zhou Hanyou and the others, under the gaze of this fiery spectacle, felt a wave of fear.
The Fire Phoenix plummeted down, crashing towards the three like a giant ball of fire.
Zhou Hanyou hurriedly looked at her younger sister, Zhou Tian'er, and cried out, "Quick, use the fusion technique!"
As she spoke, she extended her right hand to Zhou Tian'er, who reacted quickly, extending her left hand to grasp hers. The sisters' auras simultaneously shifted.
Behind Zhou Hanyou, a blue light flickered, and behind Zhou Tian'er, a green figure appeared. The two figures embraced behind them, and in an instant, the sisters' auras surged dramatically, exploding at an astonishing speed.
At this moment, almost everyone watching the match, whether in the private boxes or in the open-air audience, stood up.
This included Wu Changkong and Shen Yi in Box Seven, and Long Huantian and Zhang Zhenpeng in Box One.
Although they were no longer in the same box, their eyes were filled with shock.
A Martial Soul Fusion Technique!
This three-on-three match, which shouldn't have attracted much attention, had truly shocked them.
The two's auras had gradually surpassed those of the Fire Phoenix. Even the powerful Fire Phoenix, when it crashed down upon them, only caused a ripple.
Martial Soul Fusion Techniques were already incredibly powerful, but this one was composed of two elements, making its true power even more terrifying.
A burst of intense white light suddenly rose in front of them—a giant tree, its entire body shimmering with a luminous white light, yet its true nature was blue. It seemed to be formed from condensed ice crystals, yet it was brimming with life.
This was the Martial Soul Fusion Technique of Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er, the Ice and Snow Forest!
Almost instantly, the branches of the ice tree flew out rapidly, indiscriminately shooting in all directions.
"Stop!" the referee shouted, but it was already too late.
Although Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er could unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Technique of this scale, they were completely out of control now.
There was no way they could stop!
Lin Xiuran and Tang Wulin, who had attacked earlier, were positioned at the very front, while Gu Yue was behind Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin immediately activated his soul power to protect himself, his Golden Dragon Claws forming a shield to shield him from harm.
Gu Yue, without hesitation, rushed to Tang Wulin's side, several elemental powers coalescing before her to form a cocoon-like protective barrier.
Lin Xiuran, however, was in a much worse situation. Gu Yue, naturally, used all her soul power to support Tang Wulin, leaving her no time to protect him.
Even as a Soul Master, he felt powerless against this Martial Soul Fusion Technique; each branch seemed to contain boundless power.
The Ice and Snow Forest instantly appeared before Lin Xiuran, but he was powerless to truly defend himself. He felt his soul power almost frozen, forced to watch helplessly as the Ice and Snow Forest approached.
Almost at the very moment Lin Xiuran was about to be attacked, a purple light flashed from his pupils.
