238: Ten consecutive wins in the ring!

The battle lasted for nearly fifteen minutes, longer than any previous one.

Ultimately, the Dawn Squad, relying on its superior overall strength and Han Ruoxue's timely use of the skill 【Moonlight Power: Stagnation】 which caused a small-scale, powerful slowdown, successfully seized an opportunity. Yu Yue landed a 【Holy Shield Bash】 that sent the opposing healer flying, and Ji Linghan followed up with 【Thunder God's Wrath】 to finish off the healer, securing their victory.

The Destiny Squad retreated in defeat.

"Phew... that was a satisfying fight!" Ji Linghan panted, with a few shallow sword marks on his body.

"The Korean team's strength is not weak; they mitigated the quicksand environment to a certain extent," Xu Bai analyzed. "Subsequent challenges will be even more difficult."

Han Ruoxue silently healed her teammates and dispelled negative statuses.

Chu Yixing's gaze was solemn: "Seven consecutive victories. We've become the focus. The next match will likely be against Eagle Country or Bear Country."

Just as the rest period ended, the entrance to the arena glowed again.

Heavy footsteps, like a drumbeat, and a bone-chilling coldness spread, it was Bear Country's Aurora Borealis Squad. They had randomly been assigned the "Extreme Ice Wasteland" arena environment, and now, emanating a frigid killing intent, they initiated the challenge.

"Sure enough, it's them," Yu Yue gripped his shield, and Holy Light bloomed, dispelling the cold.

The the five people of the Aurora Borealis Squad moved like five mobile icebergs. Their captain was a Berserker; he held a giant axe, roaring as he charged. Behind him, a Frost Mage waved his staff, conjuring ice cones that filled the sky. The extreme ice environment perfectly complemented their abilities, doubling their power.

"Hold steady! Yu Yue, block the charge; Ling Han, intercept the flank; Xu Bai, use summoned creatures to restrict the backline; Ruo Xue, provide mass dispels and cold resistance buffs; I'll deal with their captain," Chu Yixing issued commands instantly.

The battle immediately intensified.

Yu Yue's massive shield collided fiercely with the Berserker's great axe, producing a deafening roar, with Holy Light and ice shards flying everywhere.

Ji Linghan, wreathed in violent lightning, fought against the opponent's ice warrior, as electricity and frost intertwined and exploded.

The Abyssal Creatures summoned by Xu Bai moved somewhat slowly on the ice, but still tenaciously entangled the opponent's Frost Mage and healer.

Han Ruoxue's Moonlight Power became crucial; she continuously cast 【Moonlight Power: Warm Radiance】 to boost the squad's ice resistance and used 【Lunar Eclipse】 to weaken the opponent's frost effects.

Chu Yixing and the Aurora Borealis Captain fought in the center of the arena. The sword immortal's elegant agility contrasted sharply with the Berserker's domineering ferocity. The green lotus immortal sword unleashed streaks of green sword energy, weaving through the chaotic axe shadows, searching for openings. Azure Heaven at his side spewed green breath, disrupting the opponent's rhythm, while also, with its divine beast might, subtly countering the oppressive feeling brought by the opponent's pet, a giant ice bear.

This was an ultimate test of will and strength; both sides were filled with a desire for victory.

At a critical moment, Chu Yixing feigned an opening, taking a heavy axe chop head-on. Most of the damage was negated by his protective sword energy. He seized this opportunity, and the green lotus immortal sword unleashed a snake-like sword energy that pierced through the gap, striking directly at the opponent's throat. Simultaneously, Han Ruoxue, seeing the opportune moment, precisely hit the Frost Mage's chanting spell node with a 【Moon Spear】, interrupting his casting.

The Aurora Borealis Captain was forced to defend, and his formation was momentarily disrupted.

"Now!" Chu Yixing shouted.

Xu Bai immediately detonated several 【Unstable Shadow Fiends】 he had pre-placed within the opponent's formation, causing area-of-effect confusion.

Ji Linghan roared and erupted, his 【Divine Punishment Domain】 instantly expanding, suppressing the opponent's ice warrior.

Yu Yue took the opportunity to advance, his great shield shining, as 【Holy Light Impact】 repelled the Bear Country team members who were attempting to reorganize their formation.

The Dawn Squad seized this fleeting opportunity, executing a perfect combination of attacks.

The Aurora Borealis Squad was ultimately a step behind, and under the Dawn Squad's storm-like counterattack, their formation collapsed, and they successively "lost."

【Arena Announcement: Defense successful! The Dawn Squad has achieved ten consecutive victories! Points per minute increased to 20!】

The ten-game winning streak brought immense rewards, but the the five people of the Dawn Squad were also greatly exhausted, panting, and all bore more or less injuries. Han Ruoxue immediately dedicated herself to healing, and everyone seized the precious rest time to recover.

"Ten consecutive victories... we really did it!" Ji Linghan was exhausted but his face was filled with excitement.

"The Bear Country Squad is truly worthy of its reputation," Yu Yue felt the lingering chill from his shield, still feeling a sense of trepidation.

Xu Bai's face was pale, his mental energy greatly depleted, but his eyes were bright: "The extra points from ten consecutive victories are very substantial. But we've also almost revealed all our trump cards. The next match..."

Chu Yixing, while regulating his breath, said in a deep voice: "Enjoy this moment of calm. The real test is about to begin."

Indeed, as the rest period was about to end, the arena entrance once again lit up with a dazzling light. This time, it was a pure and fervent Holy Light.

The Eagle Country Royal Knights Squad, finally at the most crucial moment, carrying an unparalleled momentum, initiated their challenge. They chose to strike a fatal blow when the Dawn Squad had just endured a bitter battle and had not fully recovered.

The Paladin Captain, holding a holy sword and shield, had a solemn and confident expression: "Friends from Kyushu, your winning streak ends here."

The Dawn Squad's nerves immediately tightened; the recently relaxed atmosphere solidified once more.

The true decisive battle had arrived.

The rest period ended, the protective barrier dissipated, and the the five people of the Royal Knights, with synchronized steps, entered the "Quicksand Stone Forest" arena.

The Paladin Captain at the forefront, his golden armor gleaming under the coliseum lights, the holy sword in his hand flowing with liquid-like light, and divine runes on his shield lighting up sequentially. Behind him were the squad members: a Discipline Priest, a Holy Flame Mage, a Crusader Warrior, and a Light Ranger. The four of them also exuded a composed aura, with Holy Light energy flowing among them, forming an invisible synergistic force field.

Compared to the Dawn Squad, who had just endured a tough battle, they were in perfect condition and at the peak of their momentum.

"Captain Chu, it's been a while," the Paladin Captain's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable confidence. "The glory of ten consecutive victories is admirable, but perhaps it's time for our Royal Knights to experience it."

Chu Yixing suppressed the surging energy within him, and the green lotus immortal sword let out a clear, ringing chime, pointing distantly at the opponent: "Let strength speak for itself, please!"

Without unnecessary words, the battle instantly erupted.

The Royal Knights had clearly studied the Dawn Squad's fighting style, and from the outset, adopted highly targeted tactics.

The Paladin Captain did not charge directly at Chu Yixing, but instead, along with the Crusader Warrior, like two heavy tanks, directly crushed towards Yu Yue and Ji Linghan. They intended to use their powerful frontal assault capability to forcibly tear open the Dawn Squad's defense line.
