===
The collision between Zhao Wuji's Great Strength Vajra Palm and Lin Yongming's Asura Thunderlight Slash created a shockwave of spirit energy, forcing both fighters to take several steps back.
"What an exhilarating duel! Even though this is a two-on-two match, we can see that neither side is coordinating with their partner. Instead, they've each chosen their own target and are fighting independently."
"However, Asura remains as impressive as ever. Despite facing a Spirit Ancestor with one more spirit ring than him, he hasn't fallen behind at all."
The commentator's voice echoed through the arena, keeping the audience engaged.
"You're as strong as I expected. Even under the effects of my Gravity Increase, you're still able to handle my attacks just like last time," Zhao Wuji said, steadying himself. He took a deep breath, and his fourth spirit ring began to glow.
"Target Lock!" Zhao Wuji's fourth spirit ring detached from his body and shot toward Lin Yongming, homing in on him.
Lin Yongming initially tried to dodge, but he quickly realized that no matter how he moved, the spirit ring would follow him. Combined with the effects of Zhao Wuji's Gravity Increase, Lin Yongming decided to stand still. However, he had already activated his second spirit skill, Wave Burst, in preparation.
"It seems that gaining an extra spirit ring has made you quite confident," Lin Yongming said calmly, as if he were completely unfazed by Zhao Wuji's Target Lock.
"This spirit skill was specifically designed to deal with fast-moving spirit masters like you. Accept your defeat," Zhao Wuji said, though he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when Lin Yongming didn't even try to avoid the spirit ring.
"If that's the case, why aren't you attacking?" Lin Yongming replied coolly.
"Hmph! Are you trying to intimidate me?" Zhao Wuji's expression darkened. But then he remembered the power of his fourth spirit skill—once it locked onto a target, it could close the distance within a hundred meters in an instant.
"If you're not going to attack, then I will. Third Spirit Skill!" Lin Yongming raised his Thunder Blade, ready to strike.
Zhao Wuji's face paled as he recalled what had happened to Flender when he faced this move. Without hesitation, Zhao Wuji crouched slightly and then leaped into the air, landing directly above Lin Yongming. He brought his full weight down, aiming to crush his opponent.
This was the full effect of Zhao Wuji's fourth spirit skill.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Yongming's lips as he thrust his Thunder Blade into the ground. "You fell for it."
His second spirit ring, a thousand-year ring, began to glow. "Second Spirit Skill: Wave Burst!"
"What?! Isn't that supposed to be his third spirit skill?" Zhao Wuji's expression changed as he realized he had been tricked. Lin Yongming had lured him in close on purpose.
But it was too late. Zhao Wuji was already in mid-air, unable to adjust his position.
"Boom!"
As Zhao Wuji descended to within fifty centimeters of Lin Yongming, the Wave Burst erupted. The shockwave disrupted Zhao Wuji's spirit energy, causing him to feel a sharp pain in his chest. He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"You cheated!" Zhao Wuji shouted, both shocked and furious as he pointed at Lin Yongming.
"All's fair in battle. Now, get off the stage. Third Spirit Skill: Unparalleled Thunder Strike!" Lin Yongming didn't give Zhao Wuji a chance to recover. His third spirit skill followed immediately.
"Immovable Vajra Body!" Zhao Wuji activated his defensive skill, but before it could fully take effect, Lin Yongming's attack landed.
Knowing how tough Zhao Wuji's defenses were, Lin Yongming had combined the effects of Wave Burst with his third spirit skill. The result was devastating.
The golden light surrounding Zhao Wuji shattered as his Immovable Vajra Body was broken. Overwhelmed, Zhao Wuji rolled several times before collapsing onto the ground like a flipped turtle.
Lin Yongming appeared in front of Zhao Wuji in an instant, his Thunder Blade pointed at his opponent.
Zhao Wuji was breathing heavily, his chest covered in wounds and blood dripping from his mouth.
"I lost again," Zhao Wuji said with a bitter smile, his eyes filled with resignation.
"Wow! In less than ten minutes, Asura has defeated Spirit Ancestor Zhao Wuji!" the commentator exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement.
"Asura! Asura!" The crowd erupted in cheers.
"Since it's over, go and tend to your wounds," Lin Yongming said, turning away from Zhao Wuji.
The commentator signaled to the staff, and two people quickly entered the arena to carry Zhao Wuji away.
"Zhao Wuji!" Flender shouted, his face darkening as he watched his comrade being carried off. "How could he lose so quickly? This is impossible!"
"Your friend has been taken off the stage. What a disgrace for a spirit master. If you don't want to suffer the same fate, you'd better surrender and let me smash those glasses of yours," Bibi Dong said, glancing at Lin Yongming. She was surprised that he had defeated a Spirit Ancestor so quickly.
"You think you can beat me? Don't get ahead of yourself! Fourth Spirit Skill: Eagle Feather Tenfold Slash!" Flender spun rapidly in the air above Bibi Dong, and ten orange-yellow energy blades formed around him.
"Rakshasa, do you need help?" Lin Yongming called out.
"I don't need it," Bibi Dong replied without looking back.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Thorn Spider Armor!" Bibi Dong's fourth spirit ring lit up.
This was her single-target defensive skill. Thick, meter-long purple-black spikes covered her entire body, and her armor became even more robust. Despite the added weight, her speed remained unaffected. The spikes were also laced with potent venom, making her defense incredibly strong.
Flender's ten energy blades, each at least a meter long, shot toward Bibi Dong. However, her Thorn Spider Armor lived up to its reputation. Combined with the fact that her fourth spirit ring was over a thousand years older than Flender's, the result was inevitable.
Bibi Dong blocked all ten blades without taking a single scratch.
"How is this possible? How can she block all of my attacks without a scratch?" Flender was stunned. He had prepared this skill to deal with Lin Yongming, but now it had been completely neutralized by Bibi Dong.
"Third Spirit Skill: Death Spider Emperor's Bind!"
Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor spirit spat out a deep purple web from its mouth. The web expanded as it flew toward Flender, enveloping him before he could react. The strands were laced with a poisonous mist, leaving Flender completely immobilized.
"Finally, I've got you. Now, get down here!" Bibi Dong yanked the web, pulling Flender down and slamming him onto the stage.
Flender let out a cry of pain as blood dripped from his nose.
"Now you can't fly, can you?" Bibi Dong appeared in front of Flender in a flash.
Her fists were already aimed at his face—specifically, his glasses.
