Chapter 27 Friendly Match (3)
Zhao Qianqian moved with incredible speed to Liu Hui's rear. Then she charged towards Liu Hui's weakest point, his back.
"Second Soul Skill: Four Directions Barrier!" The yellow second soul ring under Liu Hui's feet flashed, and four stone walls immediately rose around Liu Hui.
Zhao Qianqian rushed towards Liu Hui at an extremely fast speed. The suddenly rising stone wall left her no time to stop and she crashed head-on into it.
Zhao Qianqian was immediately sent flying backward, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
After being knocked to the ground, Zhao Qianqian decisively wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve. Then she stood up, her first yellow spirit ring flashing beneath her feet.
Looking at Zhao Qianqian, who was already injured, Qian Yuhan's fighting spirit only increased. He thought to himself, "What a strong girl! Not weak at all. On the contrary, she grows stronger with each battle. If she continues like this, her achievements will be remarkable!"
"What? You've got your eye on him?" Hu Lin'er teased, looking at Qian Yuhan who was intently watching the field.
"I was watching the game. By the way, why are you sitting next to me? There are so many empty seats over there," Qian Yuhan explained. But he hadn't paid much attention to the female demon sitting next to him before, assuming she was just an ordinary girl. After explaining, he asked a couple more questions.
"Because—I want to sit with you! Are you satisfied with this reason?" Hu Lin'er said with a smile.
Upon hearing this answer, Qian Yuhan blushed. She inwardly scolded herself: Why did I have to be so talkative? I shouldn't have asked so many questions. Hmm, I definitely won't say anything more to her next time, otherwise I might accidentally get teased again.
"First Soul Skill: Ghostly Strike!"
Zhao Qianqian activated her first soul skill. As an agility-type soul master, Zhao Qianqian has the standard speed burst characteristic, which is in line with the characteristics of an agility-type soul master.
Zhao Qianqian was covered by a cloud of black mist and then disappeared from the spot.
Liu Hui's second soul skill was also released, leaving him completely exposed to his opponent.
The black shadow that Zhao Qianqian had transformed into kept moving around Liu Hui at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind a black afterimage that resembled a circle, blocking all of Liu Hui's escape routes.
Zhao Qianqian was not in a hurry, waiting for her opponent to reveal a weakness.
Liu Hui wasn't in a hurry. He closed his eyes, sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding airflow, trying to find Zhao Qianqian's movement pattern.
One second...
Two seconds…
On the contrary, Zhao Qianqian was now completely confused and hesitant. She didn't know whether Liu Hui had deliberately revealed a flaw or had given up.
However, she believes it is the former.
Therefore, he continued to hover outside, completely unaware that his soul power was quietly being lost.
"This is bad. If Zhao Qianqian continues like this, she won't have much soul power left. If she fails to land a hit, she'll lose," Hu Lin'er said, observing the situation on the field.
“Hmm.” This time, Qian Yuhan agreed.
Zhao Qianqian on the field also felt that her soul power was almost exhausted, and she could only gather her soul power and release a surprise attack.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qianqian gritted her teeth and gathered her soul power in her hands and legs.
With his eyes closed, Liu Hui clearly sensed a large amount of soul power fluctuations in his two o'clock position.
"First Soul Skill: Savage Might!" Liu Hui's first soul ring flashed, and he opened his eyes and rushed towards the two o'clock direction.
Although Zhao Qianqian was moving rapidly when she was condensing her soul power, Liu Hui already knew her movement patterns very well.
boom! !
With his first soul skill enhanced, Liu Hui accurately struck Zhao Qianqian, who had moved to the two o'clock position once again, sending her flying with a single punch.
Zhao Qianqian was shocked. She was about to launch one last surprise attack at the place where she had just gathered her soul power, but she was knocked away in that instant.
At first, when she saw Liu Hui rushing towards the place where she had just gathered her soul power, she assumed that he thought that was the location of her true body, so she continued to proceed according to the original plan.
But just as she was about to reach her planned position after rapidly moving around, she was knocked away.
"Wow, this guy is amazing!" Mu Chen from Class 2 exclaimed. "Precise prediction, without a single unnecessary movement."
Liu Hui didn't stop, and rushed directly towards Zhao Qianqian, who was flying backward.
"What is he going to do? Is he going to continue attacking?!"
"Qianqian is already injured and it's unlikely she can continue fighting. If she gets attacked again, she'll definitely suffer lasting injuries!"
The students in Class Two exclaimed and discussed in surprise.
Liu Hui leaped forward and caught Zhao Qianqian as she was about to fall to the ground.
The two landed steadily on the ground.
Zhao Qianqian was being held in Liu Hui's arms, her face was a little pale.
Seeing that Zhao Qianqian's expression was not good, Liu Hui apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of taking some force, but I didn't expect to hurt you. I'm so sorry."
Hearing Liu Hui's apology and looking at herself now being held in a princess carry, her cheeks flushed slightly.
"No...it's nothing. It's normal to get injured in a battle.
Seeing that this was the ending, the audience breathed a sigh of relief, followed by bursts of applause.
This affirms Liu Hui's strength and character, and recognizes Zhao Qianqian's courage to face the challenge without backing down.
Seeing this scene, Qian Yuhan couldn't help but recall Li Wei, whom she had met at the Ice God Arena, and his dramatic reaction after his parents were beaten up. She shook her head and sighed. He really wasn't even half as good as Zhao Qianqian…
"First match: Liu Huisheng from Class 1!" Han Xin announced.
Zhou Yue replaced Han Xin and then said, "Next match, please have the next player from Class Two come on stage."
"I'm here! Han Han from Class 2, a level 24 Control-type Great Soul Master."
"The match begins!" Zhou Yue announced, seeing that both sides were ready.
...
...
After several rounds of intense fighting, Liu Hui found Han Han's weakness and struck successfully, achieving two consecutive victories.
However, Han Han's martial soul is the extremely rare Soul-Suppressing Bell, which greatly restricts Liu Hui's martial soul. Each attack is significantly affected, slowing down the attack and giving the opponent many opportunities. Unfortunately, Han Han lacks powerful offensive soul skills. This gives Liu Hui, with his Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear martial soul focused on both offense and defense, a certain advantage.
However, if both sides acquire more soul skills in the future, Liu Hui's advantage will vanish, and he will only be controlled to the point of questioning his existence.
"Liu Hui from Class 1 wins."
...
...
Liu Hui won two more matches, but because his soul power was insufficient, he won these two matches entirely by relying on the strength of his martial soul and fighting hand-to-hand. In the last match, he still collapsed from the strain.
“Let’s each class send one more person,” Zhou Yue said.
In this friendly match, the first to go doesn't actually have an advantage. This kind of competition is similar to a ring tournament, and the first one to go will run out of soul power reserves and naturally won't be able to defend their position.
Qian Yuhan discovered this vulnerability and had been lurking there all along.
"Hey, how long are you planning to stay like this?" Hu Lin'er asked abruptly.
"We'll see, it's not the right time yet," Qian Yuhan replied without hesitation.
He immediately sensed something was wrong. "What do you mean by 'when will a dog stop'? I'm lying low, lying low so you don't have to be a fool!"
"You're the idiot!"
"You're stupid!"
"You're the idiot!"
...The two of them suddenly started arguing without any warning.
Those around them watched the two arguing with exasperation. The friendship between the two classes hadn't even really taken shape yet, but these two had already grown quite a bit closer. Even though they were just hurling insults at each other, for some reason they felt like they'd been force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
