#125 - Fire Leopard Lin Meng

His eyes were full of warning.

Huo Wushuang's anger immediately restored Huo Yun's rationality.

His impoliteness towards Quan Yi had obviously angered Huo Wushuang.

Just as the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, a voice broke the silence.

"It seems everyone has arrived."

A tall, thin middle-aged man walked towards the group.

The group was surprised to see the man's appearance.

He was also someone Quan Yi was relatively familiar with: Gao Jie, the dean of the intermediate academy.

Gao Jie was alone, without any followers behind him.

"No way, could it be that the dean is personally coming to teach us?"

A tall student widened his eyes, surprised by the dean's appearance.

"Hello everyone. Most of you should have seen me at the opening ceremony. My name is Gao Jie, and I am the head coach in charge of this year's team battle training.

First of all, I want to congratulate you. Everyone here is a final member who has been left behind through the academy's strict selection. In other words, the eight of you will represent the Blazing Fire Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition in the future."

A month after the start of school, the academy held an internal selection. The current members were carefully selected by the academy after serious discussion.

Gao Jie glanced over everyone, nodding secretly.

"Today is the first day, and many of you may not know each other. There will be no training today. Let's get to know each other first."

"Clap!" Suddenly, Gao Jie clapped his hands together sharply. Then, he changed the subject. "Without further ado, let's have a one-on-one soul battle. As soul masters, there is no better way to understand each other than this." After speaking, a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Soul battle. Hearing these words, everyone's eyes suddenly changed, a kind of eager expression.

Everyone present was a genius teenager with superior qualifications, with their own pride in their hearts, and they all had the idea of performing well in this soul battle.

A cold and aloof teenager with a gloomy temperament took a step forward. The teenager's eyes were unruly as he asked, "Is it possible to choose the opponent you want to choose?"

"Haha, not bad, you can freely choose your opponent, and the first to choose gets priority. However, one thing, the person who loses in this soul battle will have to stay and participate in my extracurricular tutoring." Gao Jie's eyes became meaningful when he mentioned the word extracurricular tutoring.

"Okay, the two of you stay on the stage, and the others go off the stage to watch."

Gao Jie was decisive, and everyone moved away, leaving the space to the two.

"I can feel that your strength is the strongest here. But, this also means that as long as I can defeat you, I am the strongest."

The aloof teenager stared at Quan Yi with sharp eyes.

The aloof teenager came from a primary academy in a small border town and was an ordinary civilian teenager from an ordinary family. With his outstanding talent, he was recommended to the intermediate academy.

Ordinary appearance, ordinary family background, besides talent, there are not many bright spots in himself. Therefore, he is often looked down upon in the academy.

Therefore, he urgently wanted to show his strength.

As long as he obtains the title of strongest here, no one will look down on him anymore.

"Courage is commendable. But reckless."

Quan Yi briefly commented in his heart.

Quan Yi didn't reply, and beckoned with his hand, extremely provocative.

The aloof teenager snorted coldly and said, "Lin Meng, Martial Soul: Fire Leopard, level 26 Strength Attack System Beast Soul Master."

Martial Soul Possession.

A red light flashed across Lin Meng's body, mottled leopard patterns appeared on the surface of his body, sharp leopard claws extended from his hands, and a scorching aura erupted.

Two yellow soul rings appeared behind him.

"The talent is good, and the strength looks okay, but it's still a bit far from Quan Yi," Huo Wu analyzed from the side.

Huo Wu's words attracted everyone's attention.

Twelve years old, level 26, and the Martial Soul is a leopard with fire attributes, a rare and powerful Martial Soul.

Lin Meng is indeed a genius young soul master, a strong opponent for everyone else present.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Quan Yi.

"Quan Yi, Martial Soul: Fiery Sun Gauntlets, level 38 Strength Attack System Tool Soul Master."

His words were shocking, and everyone suspected their ears. Lin Meng, opposite Quan Yi, widened his eyes even more.

"Wait, wait, level 38? Did I hear wrong?" Lin Meng's aloof temperament completely disappeared.

His face was flustered, and he asked urgently, "Big brother! How old are you?"

Quan Yi's mouth curled into an evil smile. He said mysteriously, "Secret."

He tapped his right foot, and his body flew towards Lin Meng rapidly.

"So fast!" Quan Yi's explosive speed brought unprecedented pressure to Lin Meng. At this moment, he didn't even have time to think about anything else.

Lin Meng raised his right hand, and the yellow soul ring behind him flashed.

"First Soul Skill, Fire Howl."

Scorching flames spewed out from Lin Meng's right hand.

The instantaneous straight-line attack quickly collided with Quan Yi, who was sprinting in a straight line.

"Success." A look of joy flashed in Lin Meng's eyes. Quan Yi's straight-line sprint was fast, but it lacked the changes of an agility-type soul master. Therefore, it was easier for his first soul skill to target him.

Just as Lin Meng wanted to increase his soul power input and expand the power of the flame, a figure flashed in front of Lin Meng's eyes.

"How is that possible."

"Bang!" A sharp pain came from his abdomen. His soul power also became chaotic, and his palm could no longer hold the flame.

Lin Meng hugged his abdomen with both hands, knelt on the ground, and began to gag.

When did this guy get close?

More than the pain, Lin Meng wanted to know this.

In fact, the reason was very simple. It was because Quan Yi dodged the attack with a faster speed at the moment when the flame was about to hit.

Simple visual guidance and a speed so fast that he couldn't react created a 'teleportation' effect.

Lin Meng in front couldn't see it because of the firelight, but it was clear to the onlookers.

"Did he not summon his Martial Soul just now?" Huo Yun's face changed drastically, and he asked incredulously.

Huo Yun was the one who observed Quan Yi most carefully, so he was also the first to notice this and raised the question.

"Yes, and Quan Yi didn't use soul power at all just now," Gao Jie, the strongest, explained to everyone.

"Without using soul power, does that mean he can be so fast with just his body?"

Absolute physical fitness, unreasonably powerful.

Without a Martial Soul, it was completely a physical attack.

Everyone fell into silence. In their eyes, Quan Yi's figure began to become incomparably tall.

Gao Jie looked at Quan Yi and couldn't help but praise him in his heart. "To think he would be this strong."

Quan Yi didn't use much force, he just made Lin Meng temporarily lose his ability to move, and didn't cause any damage to his body.

The One-Punch Man training allowed him to perfectly master this technique.

Sure enough, after gagging for a while, Lin Meng felt much better, and the pain in his abdomen quickly disappeared.

After the battle, Quan Yi helped Lin Meng up and walked off the stage.

The battle was about to continue.

"Next group."

As soon as Gao Jie finished speaking, Huo Wu raised her hand first.

"Me, I'll go."

Seeing Quan Yi showing off in front of everyone, the fighting spirit in Huo Wu's heart was also ignited.
