#104 - Huo Wu vs Quan Yi (Part 2)

Huo Wu's instantaneously cast Fireball was even faster than her long whip. If it were the Quan Yi from two months ago, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge it.

But the current Quan Yi is not the Quan Yi from two months ago.

Quan Yi continued to sprint towards Huo Wu at full speed, without slowing down.

Seeing Huo Wu's blue flames, Quan Yi felt a sense of foreboding.

He had witnessed the power of Fusion Ring before.

Even his 'Steel' might be in danger when facing the Flame Fiend Whip Dance under Fusion Ring.

Quan Yi pushed off with his right foot with all his might, and his speed increased several notches.

After being strengthened by the soul bone, his right leg had become the most powerful part of Quan Yi's body.

"Crack!"

The explosive power of his thigh shattered the ground beneath him.

At this moment, Quan Yi was also using all his strength, with the goal of closing the distance with Huo Wu.

For the first time, Quan Yi raised his right hand, his fist gathering into a 'Spike', stabbing towards Huo Wu's Flame Fiend Whip Dance.

The blue, ghostly blue python heavily struck Quan Yi's 'Spike', but Quan Yi's arm was like a spear, skillfully deflecting the fire whip to the side.

The sharp and narrow 'Spike' had its head melted off by Huo Wu's whip.

If it had been a direct collision, Quan Yi's hand might have been injured.

Quan Yi rushed in front of Huo Wu. Huo Wu was now completely defenseless, with her center wide open. Quan Yi raised his left hand, reaching towards Huo Wu's head.

Huo Wu was immediately shocked and couldn't help but close her eyes.

However, the expected severe pain didn't come.

Huo Wu cautiously opened her eyes and saw Quan Yi tapping her forehead with his left hand, laughing heartily, "Huff, this distance was too hard to close. But in the end, I still won."

"Yeah, you won." Huo Wu stared at Quan Yi, who was close at hand, and replied blankly.

Huo Wu looked at Quan Yi's face, and her heart suddenly started racing.

"Xiao Wu, your current strength should allow you to get the Silver Soul Badge soon, right?" Quan Yi was very surprised by Huo Wu's strength.

Although Quan Yi only used 'Steel' and 'Spike' throughout the entire process, Quan Yi was level thirty-five, and the difference in strength between the two was twelve levels. Huo Wu actually forced Quan Yi to use all his strength at the end.

"Yeah." Huo Wu calmed down and replied.

Hearing Quan Yi's praise, she felt a little unwilling.

This duel was an unfair one from the start, but even so, she was still powerless.

Her attacks on Quan Yi were like hitting a tortoise shell, unable to shake him.

"I've become too complacent." Huo Wu mocked herself a little.

Huo Wu was still complacent about her progress in the Soul Arena, but she didn't expect Quan Yi to further widen the gap between them.

Huo Wu was reflecting and thinking, but she wasn't discouraged.

She was already used to this gap, and she had secretly felt sad for some days.

But she didn't want to continue to be depressed.

Because every second of depression would only widen the gap between her and Quan Yi, so she would never allow herself to continue to be depressed.

"Your whip skills and flame control have made great progress. Plus the Fusion Ring, even I can't compete with you head-on. Moreover, that entanglement technique, once you're entangled, no one in the same tier can break free."

Quan Yi sincerely praised her. Huo Wu's strength had increased by leaps and bounds, especially the entanglement technique that combined control and attack, which gave him a huge surprise.

It had only been half a year, and Quan Yi was curious about Huo Wu's future progress.

"No, that's not enough. I still need to continue to work hard."

Huo Wu didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuation, and just calmly accepted the result of the battle.

Quan Yi thought that Huo Wu would be depressed for a while after losing, but now it seemed that he had underestimated Huo Wu.

It seemed that Huo Wu's growth was not only in strength, but also in her mental state.

"Do you still have the stamina to continue training?" Quan Yi asked.

"Of course, don't underestimate me." Huo Wu patted her chest vigorously and replied with full energy.

Because the battle was faster than expected, Huo Wu didn't consume much soul power.

Moreover, she didn't have time to rest.

Huo Wu proposed the battle to Quan Yi, not only to test her strength, but also to understand Quan Yi's progress through the battle.

Now that she understood the gap, she needed to work even harder.

Then, Quan Yi and Huo Wu began their training for the day.

After exercising for more than two hours, Quan Yi's body only sweated slightly.

Even though he had sped up the pace and shortened the rest time, Quan Yi's body had not reached its limit.

The same was true for the morning running session, Quan Yi was unable to reach his limit within the stipulated time.

The significant increase in physical strength had brought some trouble to Quan Yi.

It seemed that it was time to increase some weight.

Quan Yi thought about it and decided to equip himself with some weight-increasing tools to help him improve his training efficiency.

Huo Wu witnessed Quan Yi's monster-like performance from the side.

If it were someone else, they would only be amazed by Quan Yi's performance.

At most, they might praise him as 'naturally gifted'.

But Huo Wu, who had always been by Quan Yi's side, knew that this was an abnormal phenomenon.

It had only been more than two months since they last met, what exactly happened to Xiao Yi?

She could clearly perceive the huge change in Quan Yi, but Huo Wu didn't rudely ask Quan Yi, because the most taboo thing between soul masters was to investigate personal information.

But this was no longer something that could be explained by talent and hard work, Huo Wu speculated in her heart.

Did he take some kind of medicine that promoted rapid growth?

No, that kind of medicine is harmful to the body. Xiao Yi's physical condition is so good that it can't be better. It's definitely not taking medicine.

Could it be a soul bone?

Combining Quan Yi's family background, which was no less than her own, Huo Wu increasingly felt that Quan Yi might have fused with a soul bone.

No, I have to help him keep the secret.

At the moment of thinking of the soul bone, Huo Wu had mixed feelings.

She knew that if someone knew Quan Yi's secret, Quan Yi might be in danger.

"Xiao Yi, during this period of time, you must honestly stay in school and don't have too much contact with people."

Huo Wu's expression was slightly nervous, but her tone was very serious.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Quan Yi had never seen Huo Wu with such a serious expression, so he was a little confused.

"It's nothing, it's just that your changes are too big. If you are too flamboyant, you will easily attract attention." Huo Wu was not very sure, so she could only use this euphemistic way to remind Quan Yi.

Quan Yi also realized something at this time, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

"What, are you trying to cut off my relationships, and then try to control me?"
