The Extreme Cold Ice Blade Prison—just hearing the name alone hints at its formidable nature.

Shui Bing'er had already experienced Feng Xiaotian's Wind Blade Prison and deeply understood the oppressive force it exerted.

The Extreme Cold Tornado could create a wall of icy wind to encircle opponents, requiring them to expend significant soul power to break free.

The Wind Blade Prison compressed space, making it suffocating.

Combining the two would form the Extreme Cold Ice Blade Prison, which not only drained the opponent's soul power but also launched ferocious attacks simultaneously. Just imagining it was terrifying.

Shui Yue'er had initially worried that she might hold the team back.

To her surprise, Feng Xiaotian had specifically designed two elemental fusion techniques based on her spirit abilities' characteristics.

This made her very happy.

"Brother Tian, thank you."

"No need to be so formal. We're a team, and your spirit abilities are particularly compatible with the wind element, making it easier to fuse them. We might even see some initial results tonight."

"Yes."

"Tonight is our first team battle. Once we're on the Spirit Arena, we'll assess the opponent's situation and adapt accordingly."

"Got it!"

After listening to Feng Xiaotian's analysis and plans, everyone was eager for tonight's team battle.

Feng Xiaotian continued, "Over the past few months, my soul power has been increasing rapidly. Do you want to know why?"

The others exchanged glances.

Xiao Luo grinned, "Isn't it obvious? You're naturally gifted, with innate full soul power. You were held back for a long time before, but now you're just catching up."

The others nodded in agreement.

Feng Xiaotian shook his head. "You're only half right. I was held back before, but in the past six months, aside from developing my self-created spirit abilities, I've also devised a set of inner cultivation techniques that help me level up faster."

Everyone was astonished.

"Inner cultivation techniques? What are those?"

"I can't explain it fully, but it helps regulate and circulate the qi within our bodies, bringing them to a state of false emptiness. This works hand in hand with our soul power cultivation, enhancing it."

In this world, the concept of inner cultivation techniques didn't exist, so the others were completely puzzled.

"Brother Tian, is this how you've been leveling up so quickly?"

"Exactly!"

"Brother Tian, you're truly a genius! Your comprehension is incredible—not only did you easily create your own spirit abilities, but you also developed a method to level up quickly. Amazing!"

Everyone stared at Feng Xiaotian in disbelief, finding it hard to wrap their heads around it.

"Are you interested in learning my inner cultivation techniques? If you want to, I can teach you."

Hearing this, everyone became excited, especially Huo Wushuang.

"Brother Tian, really? Can we learn your method too?"

"Of course you can, but I have one small request. Without my permission, you cannot reveal this method to anyone, nor can you teach it to others."

"Don't worry, Brother Tian. This is your exclusive technique, so of course, we'll keep it a secret," they assured him.

The others nodded in agreement as well.

"Alright. This inner cultivation technique has two parts. I'll start by teaching you the first, called 'Purple Mist Qi.'"

Feng Xiaotian then had them sit cross-legged and earnestly began teaching them the inner cultivation technique. They closed their eyes, concentrating fully on the experience.

The qi returned to its origin, settling in the dantian. Their abdominal walls contracted slightly, and the qi within the dantian swirled like a delicate mist, floating serenely and gently.

"How do you feel?" Feng Xiaotian asked.

"It feels like I'm standing in a mountain gorge, with a dreamlike sensation," someone responded.

"That's exactly right. Cultivating inner techniques isn't something that can be achieved overnight. You need to build a solid foundation and practice consistently. Don't rush, or you'll disrupt your mind," Feng Xiaotian advised.

"Understood," they all agreed.

"Good. Over the next few days, continue practicing this technique. Once you break through, it will help you level up faster."

"Thank you, Brother Tian!"

"No need to thank me. We're all friends, just helping each other out."

Evening arrived quickly.

Feng Xiaotian and his group returned to the Soto Great Spirit Arena.

They only had one match tonight—a team battle.

The team battle was scheduled for later in the evening, being the most anticipated event at the arena.

After registering at the front desk, they made their way to the battle zone.

Feng Lieyang addressed the group, "Tonight, your opponents will be over level 40. But this is your first time working together, so like last night, the outcome isn't important. What matters is how you feel on the battlefield and how you find your rhythm with each other."

Feng Xiaotian responded, "Understood, Grandpa."

Though Feng Xiaotian agreed outwardly, he was determined inside. This was the debut of the Danfeng Team, and they had to win.

Huo Wushuang chimed in, "Brother Tian, during the match, you should lead. We'll follow your orders."

"Alright!"

As the team leader and the strongest among them, Feng Xiaotian naturally took charge.

"When the battle starts, Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Shui Yue'er will focus on attacking. Yue'er will be in the center, with Wushuang and Huo Wu supporting from the sides. I'll stay in the middle to assist your attacks. Xiao Luo and Shui Bing'er will stay in the rear to ensure that Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er can initiate their Martial Soul Fusion."

"Got it!"

Feng Xiaotian then turned to Xue Wu.

"Be sure to protect yourself. Stay close to Shui Bing'er and Xiao Luo. If the opponent targets you, don't panic; Wushuang and I will protect you together."

"Don't worry, Brother Tian. Bing'er and I have been working together for years. We have great synergy, so we'll be fine."

"Good. We still have some time before the match. Let's rest for a bit."

The team moved to the waiting room, attracting attention as soon as they entered.

The reason was obvious: their team consisted of only three men, with the other four being tall, elegant, and strikingly beautiful women.

Female Spirit Masters were already rare, so this team of three men and four women immediately became the center of attention.

They noticed the curious stares but paid them no mind, finding a quiet corner to prepare for the upcoming battle.

As they closed their eyes to rest, two men started walking toward them.
