#135 - A tense atmosphere

Gao Jie, seeing the atmosphere on the scene, felt a little nervous. Everyone was starting to develop a competitive spirit towards Quan Yi.

However, Gao Jie didn't hinder this in any way, nor did he express any opinion.

On the contrary, he was somewhat surprised and delighted by this situation.

"Perhaps this situation is the optimal solution for this team?"

Teaming up with a strong person might cause other team members to become dependent on the strong person, leading to slackness.

In the long run, this would actually be detrimental to the team's growth.

But the battle just now made all the team members develop a confrontational mentality and a sense of tension.

Gao Jie pondered for a moment.

He felt that he should go with the flow and solidify this atmosphere completely.

Gao Jie, who was originally a little troubled about Quan Yi's arrangement, found that these guys had actually found a way to get along with each other on their own.

Gao Jie also smiled with relief.

"Alright, let's proceed to the next match."

"For the next match, Lin Meng, Huo Yun, and Huo Yu will face Quan Yi."

Now, even though Quan Yi is very strong, everyone's fighting spirit has not been dampened, so it's better to take this opportunity to let everyone clash.

"Quan Yi, can you still hold on?" Gao Jie inquired about Quan Yi's condition.

"No problem."

Although his soul power had been consumed by more than half, Quan Yi still had energy to spare, and besides, his opponents were much weaker than in the first match.

Quan Yi gladly accepted the arrangement for the second soul fight.

Huo Yun, Huo Yu, and Lin Meng stood on the stage with solemn expressions.

"Use all your strength from the beginning, don't probe, don't take chances. Use our strongest attacks directly to collide with him," Huo Yun expressed his thoughts to the others.

The other two nodded in agreement.

They had witnessed Quan Yi's terror with their own eyes, but they didn't want to retreat here without a fight.

The soul fight began.

The three of them erupted with intense firelight all over their bodies.

The three second soul rings behind them lit up simultaneously.

Fire Leopard Lin Meng charged towards Quan Yi head-on from the ground.

Meanwhile, Huo Yun and Huo Yu glided towards Quan Yi from the sky on either side of Lin Meng.

The three of them emitted scorching firelight all over their bodies, releasing all their soul power, attacking Quan Yi together.

The speed of these three people is undoubtedly outstanding among soul masters of the same level.

Three swift firelights attacked simultaneously. If an ordinary Soul Elder encountered the three of them charging at the same time, they would definitely be at a loss.

But Quan Yi didn't panic.

Quan Yi struck first, directly colliding head-on with Lin Meng on the ground.

In an instant, he knocked Lin Meng to the ground.

Then, he stretched out his hands, wearing the Scorching Sun Gauntlets, and simultaneously grasped the wing blade attacks on both sides.

Firelight splattered, and the scorching sparks burned on his bare arms, without causing a trace of damage.

"Got them." A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Quan Yi's mouth.

He exerted force with both hands at the same time, pulling the two down in Huo Yun and Huo Yu's panicked eyes, and throwing them hard on the ground.

Lin Meng took ten seconds, and Huo Yun and Huo Yu were a little tricky because they were flying in the sky, but it still only took a dozen seconds to take them down.

The fire immunity attribute rendered everyone's proud fire-type soul skills useless.

At the same time, they didn't have the skills to convert fire-type soul power into explosive power like Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

As beast soul masters, their physical attributes were completely inferior to Quan Yi.

Even if they chose to launch an attack at the same time, the end result would still be like this.

Quan Yi didn't even use his soul power in this match.

"Second soul fight, Quan Yi wins." Gao Jie announced ruthlessly, like a cold judgment.

Today's battle was a disastrous failure for all the team members except Quan Yi.

Even Huo Wu, who knew Quan Yi's strength best, felt a little down.

It was natural for everyone to feel frustrated, but this instead stimulated everyone's fighting spirit.

From the third day onwards, everyone began to cultivate desperately.

Huo Wu also further increased her training volume, and would be unable to hold her cutlery steadily when eating because of excessive training.

In team battle training.

Gao Jie would basically adopt one-on-three, one-on-four, and sometimes, Quan Yi would even engage in two-on-six, one-on-seven battles.

But even so, in the past ten months, Quan Yi still maintained a perfect record.

But as everyone's cooperation got better and better, and their strength increased faster and faster.

The pressure Quan Yi felt also became greater and greater.

Even though the soul power level gap was very large, one person against seven people.

If Quan Yi didn't have the fire immunity attribute, it would actually be very difficult to maintain a perfect record.

However, on the other hand, this also fully illustrates how oppressive the fire immunity attribute is to fire-type soul masters.

In order to fight against Quan Yi, everyone began to pay more attention to their bodies in training.

After each battle, they would consciously add extra training to exercise their bodies.

Even Ling Yun and Wang Xing, who were support-type soul masters, were no exception.

They saw the possibility from Quan Yi, the weapon soul master.

The two, who originally had a good foundation, were making rapid progress in their physical fitness under deliberate exercise.

The academy also spared no effort in cultivating them, including what they ate, where they lived, and what they wore.

Everything was prepared to the highest standard.

Moreover, the academy also had various teachers to teach them more profound combat skills and flame control techniques.

Pressure is motivation.

Under Quan Yi's pressure, everyone began to exercise the advanced skills of fire-type soul power, especially the technique of generating other energy fluctuations by compressing and bursting fire-type soul power.

If they didn't master it, then the attacks of the other five people besides Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang would be of no use.

Quan Yi also officially began to learn the control methods of fire-type soul power.

Various characteristics of fire, explosion, adhesion, high temperature, burning.

As he studied in depth, Quan Yi began to gradually master the technique of freely converting the characteristics of flames.

Quan Yi, who possessed a top-level fire-type weapon soul, progressed far beyond ordinary people in this regard.

In less than a month, Quan Yi mastered the skills that Huo Wushuang had shown in battle before, and also mastered the 'Yang · Flame Bullet' that Huo Wu had shown.

This allowed Quan Yi's strength to enter an even more terrifying realm.

Under high-intensity training.

Including Quan Yi, everyone's progress was visible to the naked eye.

In the fourth month of intermediate academy.

Huo Wushuang's soul power level broke through level 30.

And on the second day after breaking through the level, he immediately set off to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring.

In the seventh month of intermediate academy.

Huo Wushuang successfully obtained his third soul ring, becoming the team's second Soul Elder.

Huo Wushuang's third soul ring was taken from a fire-type dragon-type soul beast of about 1,700 years. In order to find this soul beast, he and Huo Wuxie persevered in the Star Dou Great Forest for three months.

His third soul skill is a common self-enhancement skill for strong attack soul masters.

The effect is to directly increase the power, attack power, defense power, and strength of the flame by one time.
