The second round commenced with relentless pace. Azure Cloud faced Emerald Leaf Pavilion, a team notorious for control and attrition. The battlefield erupted into vines and poisonous mist, visibility dropping to near zero.
Su Ling immediately took command, countering toxins with antidote pills while projecting emerald flames to burn away creeping roots. Wang Lei cut through the vines with wind-infused daggers, carving a safe path. Lin Xue layered illusions over the terrain, turning the enemy's own maze against them.
Li Hao advanced at the center, Ice Heavenly Sword humming. He didn't overextend; instead, he controlled space—freezing lanes, sealing flanks, forcing the Pavilion into predictable movements.
A precise collapse.
One by one, their opponents yielded, overwhelmed by coordinated pressure. Azure Cloud secured victory with minimal injuries, sending a clear message: they could adapt to any style.
