Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 102 Showdown
Xing Meng had already relayed Lan Tian's performance in the Grand Arena to Zhao Qingyun, which further fueled Zhao Qingyun's curiosity about Lan Tian. Upon returning to the Spirit Hall, they couldn't wait to find Lan Tian and learn more.

Lan Tian didn't tell Zhao Qingyun the truth: this was the armor of the Sky City's master, the War God Armor. He only said that he had obtained a set of armor by chance in the Endless Sea, a matter of fate. This armor could only be used by Lan Tian himself. Zhao Qingyun watched Lan Tian put on the golden armor again, filled with envy. It was peerless equipment, unmatched in the Luo Yi Empire. He thought to himself that his disciple was quite lucky to have gained the recognition of this equipment; he must have something extraordinary about him and would surely become a great hero, a peerless war god in the future.

After that battle, Lan Tian and his team rested for half a month, and Cao Yuqing had almost fully recovered! With just one last match, the five of them could successfully complete the mission. Half of the class had already accumulated three victories in the one-on-one challenges, passing Instructor Xing Meng's test.

Time is running out for Lan Tian and his team! Yilan has scheduled their third team battle for three days from now. During this time, the five have practiced and rehearsed their combined skills and tactics multiple times. Lan Tian has developed a fire-attribute fusion skill that greatly enhances their overall combat power—Phoenix's Descent.

Three days later, the people of Nalan City heard that the Overlord Team had reappeared, and they flocked to see the magnificent golden armor. The golden armor against the blue sky was deeply ingrained in their minds; it was divine equipment that no one had ever seen before.

That evening, the arena was packed to capacity, with every seat filled. When the host introduced the Overlord Team and they stepped onto the stage, the entire arena erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

"Batian, Batian..."

Lan Tian and his team already knew that today's team battle would be against the Black Angels team. The Black Angels team had won several consecutive matches and had specifically requested to challenge the Tyrant team. Therefore, Lan Tian and his team had specifically researched the Black Angels team. It turned out that this team was a seeded team of the Dark God Cult, completely undefeated in the Grand Arena, having won eleven consecutive matches and not appeared for a long time! Why would they specifically challenge the Tyrant team? There must be a secret behind it.

When the audience saw that it was the Black Angels team versus the Tyrant team, a moment of silence fell. The Black Angels were notoriously ruthless and invincible. Those who fought against them had all suffered casualties. Now, the Tyrant team faced their greatest challenge yet; a fight to the death was inevitable, and even if they survived, they would be severely injured!

The two fighters didn't exchange many words on the ring, and the audience was divided, with both sides having a large number of supporters. The whole place was in an uproar, and the betting odds skyrocketed.

Before the match, Zhao Qingyun received a briefing about the Batian Team's upcoming match against the Black Angel Team. This made him a little nervous, unsure if his five teammates could withstand the Black Angel Team's attacks. This team had a notorious track record; those who had faced them had been severely injured or killed. Zhao Qingyun was extremely worried about the safety of the Batian Team. He didn't want anything to happen to Yilante, the young master of the Yi family, and even more so to Lantian and the other two. Therefore, he personally went to the match to oversee the proceedings. The entire class was present, and all the instructors came to watch.

"Black Angels vs. Tyrants, battle begins!" After the host announced, the two sides immediately entered into a tense duel.

"Everyone come over here and launch an attack—Phoenix Shines!" With Lan Tian's command, the Overlord Team gathered around Lan Tian, ​​with Hai Liang guarding the rear.

Four streams of flame rapidly shot into the sky, condensing into one in mid-air. Guided by the blue sky, they quickly swirled and coiled, forming an overwhelming fiery pressure above the Batian team's heads. When the blue sky accelerated the input of the Fire Phoenix attribute, the opposing Black Angel team noticed something amiss.

"We must attack with all our might, interrupt them, and defeat them one by one," the Black Angels team leader ordered.

In an instant, Blue Sky's actions disrupted the Black Angel team's plans, as they launched a full-scale attack to stop Blue Sky's Phoenix Radiance.

In an instant, attribute skills erupted on the arena. The entire Black Angel team unleashed accelerated attribute skill attacks, with various skills raining down. Hai Liang was prepared, constructing water walls in front of Lan Tian and the others to block the opponent's attacks.

The blue sky's fusion skill gradually took shape, and the fire attribute skills above its head merged together, the huge flames growing larger and larger, brighter and faster, forming a golden flame disc.

With a loud "thud," the fiery disc shattered and coalesced into a golden fire phoenix, its flames burning fiercely.

A huge fire phoenix roared as it soared through the air.

With a deafening roar, a powerful fireball, the Phoenix Blaze, slammed down from the sky, instantly neutralizing the Black Angels' attack and forcing them back. The heatwave from the fireball continued to intensify.

Unable to break through the defenses in their first attack, the Black Angels launched a second wave, this time even more ferocious and ruthless, nearly breaching Hai Liang's defenses several times. Lan Tian fully mobilized the fire phoenixes he had conjured to counter them, neutralizing most of the attacks. Seeing the Black Angels about to launch another series of attacks, the fire phoenixes let out a triumphant cry.

"Whistle"

The entire body swooped down, attacking the Black Angels team. This was a fusion skill formed by the four members' fire-attribute abilities—Phoenix's Descent. Absolutely extremely high temperature, an absolute fire-attribute skill.

"boom"

The explosion was deafening. Phoenix's Radiance exploded within the Black Angels team's arena, the heat spreading and incinerating everything in its path. The power of the explosion was astonishing; the earth shook, and the opposing team was engulfed in flames. Their fate was unknown, and the commotion within the arena was unclear.

As the smoke cleared, a massive protective shield was revealed in the arena, gleaming with golden light, its surface mottled and nearly shattered. This shield was a divine artifact! Even such a powerful explosion couldn't completely destroy it.

With a deafening boom, the protective shield shattered, revealing the five members of the Black Angels team, each sustaining significant injuries. Blue Sky's fusion technique—Phoenix's Descent—had already taken its toll, leaving them all battered and bruised.

They were only spared most of the energy attack damage thanks to their divine protective shield. This had thoroughly enraged them, and now the Overlord Squad was completely exposed to their attacks. The fusion skill had absorbed most of Ilant and his team's energy, and they couldn't recover immediately. What would they do next?

Seeing that the Black Angels team was about to launch a fierce attack, what should we do now!
"Hai Liang, protect them well. I'll take care of the rest!" Lan Tian said to Hai Liang.

"Little cutie, golden armor."

"Yes, Master." In an instant, a golden light shone brightly on the arena, descending from the sky onto Lan Tian. Pieces of golden armor gathered on Lan Tian from all directions.

"click"

A set of golden armor appeared before people's eyes, and with a "thud," a golden spear fell from the sky into Lan Tian's hands.

"Golden armor! Golden armor!" shouted the audience. Finally, the blue sky's armor appeared.

Seeing Lantian don the golden armor, the Black Angels calmly activated their super fusion skill—Silver Armor War God. Each member mutated, and waves of silver energy gradually gathered, forming a super armor from five beams of silver light. The five disappeared into the newly appeared, tall and imposing silver war god armor.

Lan Tian soared into the sky, rising into the air. The giant armor gleamed with silver light, and its energy fluctuations were enormous. Lan Tian sensed the danger and with a whoosh, a silver spear appeared in the giant's hand.

At this moment, the silver-armored giant on the arena disregarded Lan Tian's golden armor, raising his silver spear and charging straight at him, firing a single shot. Lan Tian, ​​seeing this, also raised his spear, and the two clashed. Each move carried the force of a thousand pounds, the clanging sounds deafening, making it difficult for Lan Tian to defend himself. They were simply too powerful; no wonder they had specifically challenged him.

The two forces clashed, and Lan Tian, ​​having expended much energy in the Phoenix's Radiance, was now struggling to deal with this enormous creature! This wouldn't do; if it were to directly attack Cao Yuqing and the others, they would be severely injured. A swift victory was necessary.

"Execute on the spot"

Lan Tian unleashed a decisive strike at the Silver-Armored War God. Instantly, the energy of the golden armor gathered into the spear, unleashing a tremendous surge of energy that formed a massive, shimmering golden ball on the spear shaft, which then hurtled towards the Silver-Armored War God in a flash.

"boom"

The silver-armored war god withstood Lan Tian's powerful attack, only swaying slightly. This made Lan Tian a little anxious! This couldn't go on; he had to find its weakness to counter its attacks.

The Black Angels team merged into the Silver Armored War Gods and launched a powerful attack on the Overlords team. Lan Tian was overwhelmed and managed to withstand most of the attacks, but Cao Yuqing and the others were still affected and suffered varying degrees of damage.

Ignoring his own safety, Lan Tian engaged the Silver-Armored War God in close combat, and the two powerful figures clashed fiercely. Lan Tian's spear swept across the battlefield, striking vital points, but the Silver-Armored War God was too formidable, its defense even more impressive, and the attack barely caused it any damage. What could he do?! Lan Tian was now retreating steadily, almost unable to hold on any longer!

"Hai Liang, fill the arena with water. Quickly..." Lan Tian commanded Hai Liang. Everyone took to the air. The Silver Armored War God was too cumbersome and difficult to ascend. It was easier to dodge its attacks in the air.

In the instant the word "yes" was uttered, the arena was filled with water several centimeters deep, and the feet of the silver-armored war god were already soaked.

"Ice-Sealing Blade" Lan Tian didn't care about anything else and used his ice attribute skill to completely freeze the arena. In an instant, the arena was covered with a thick layer of ice, firmly freezing the Silver Armored War God on the stage, making him unable to move.

"Let's merge again... Phoenix Shines Upon the World." Lan Tian said to everyone. Success or failure hinges on this moment. The four of them quickly gathered together and used their fire attribute skills to their fullest extent, condensing Phoenix Shines Upon the World in the air.

A massive fire-attribute skill gathered once more, and the fire energy rapidly coalesced, forming a fusion skill once more—Phoenix's Radiance—guided by the phoenix flames in the blue sky.

The silver-armored war god, frozen in ice, struggled to break free, sending ice shards flying across the arena. Just as they were about to escape, the Phoenix Shining World, guided by the blue sky, swiftly attacked them from the air. In a flash, white light burst forth, followed by an explosion of absolute heat, engulfing the entire arena in flames and filling the sky with smoke and fire.

"dong dong dong"

"clap clap"

The sounds of various objects shattering filled the air as they fell to the ground. Lan Tian and his three companions, exhausted, collapsed onto the ice of the arena, creating craters. Now, only Hai Liang from the Batian Team remained capable of fighting on the arena. Cao Yuqing had already fainted, and Lan Tian, ​​Yilante, and Liu Dongping were all unable to move.

As the smoke cleared, the Silver Armored Warrior of the Black Angels team was gone. The five-man team had been completely blasted away by the explosion, scattered and lying nearby, unable to get up. It was unknown how badly they were injured! The fusion of the Silver Armored Warrior had completely stripped them of their energy. Now, being blasted away by the explosion, they were almost completely destroyed, with very little energy left. It was still unknown whether anyone was still alive.

"Team Batian wins." The host announced the end of the challenge.

Tonight's match was so exciting that it made the audience extremely excited, and the whole stadium erupted in cheers.

"Batian, Batian."
