For the first time, Li Hao faced an opponent who matched—and even exceeded—his control over ice.
The clash was elegant and terrifying.
Ice against ice, domain against domain.
Lin Xue disrupted formations with illusions that fractured perception. Wang Lei exploited micro-openings, striking at critical moments. Su Ling maintained the team's endurance with precise alchemy.
Li Hao adapted again—blending lightning into his frost, creating unstable, crackling ice that shattered Frozen Jade's perfect control.
Bing Yue paused.
Then smiled faintly.
"Interesting."
Moments later, Frozen Jade conceded.
Azure Cloud advanced.
