Tian Lei and Xue Lan moved at the same time.
Golden fire surged up Tian Lei's arm, forming a huge blazing wing behind him. Xue Lan's frost spiraled upward, creating a storm of sharp snowflakes that gathered around her palms.
Then they launched forward.
Tian Lei came down like a falling meteor, his fiery wing cutting through the air with explosive force. Xue Lan dashed in with a burst of freezing wind, her final attack spinning around her like a blooming flower of ice.
The two moves collided right in the center of the arena.
The impact was brutal.
A shockwave blasted outward, flattening everything around them. The golden platform cracked, chunks of stone flying off the sides. Heat and cold slammed into each other so hard that the entire arena lit up in white light. Even the elders were forced to raise stronger barriers to protect the stands.
For a few seconds, no one could see anything.
When the light finally faded, the arena was destroyed—half melted, half frozen.
