Ling Han's first battle after his comeback was crushed by Bai Xiao using precise tactics, and he lost completely. Shen Jin quietly returned, sneaking into the underground game with an anonymous ID and eliciting the remaining ice blade technology code of Iron Throat. Su Li gradually threw out the pieces of evidence, forcing Cheng Ye to struggle between loyalty and conscience. As the season progresses, Ling Han's old injuries increase dramatically due to the forced activation of the Ice Blade neural link, and the bullets in Shen Jin's sniper rifle are engraved with the date when the family was exterminated. Bai Xiao's "myth of invincibility" began to show loopholes - after every game, monitoring data disappeared inexplicably. Tie Miao detonated himself in the final elimination match and used neural resonance to destroy Bai Xiao's brain-computer interface, revealing the truth of the system's manipulation of the event. Cheng Ye confessed his crime during the live broadcast, but was silenced by his senior management. Ling Han and Shen Jin fought against each other in the final round, but switched places at the last second - Ling Han pierced the virtual throne with an ice blade, and Shen Jin smashed the monitoring center with a sniper gun. They didn't win the championship, but they let millions of viewers see the buried truth. At the end of the season, the ban was lifted, and a new underground league quietly took shape, but Ling Han's ice blade was still dripping with fresh blood.
