#36 - Combat Training
Around one in the afternoon.
The training grounds on the east side of the teaching building.
Huo Wu and Quan Yi hid in the shade of the trees, quietly recovering their strength.

The two had just finished eating, and going back to the dormitory would take too much time, so they decided to rest here.
Huo Wu leaned lazily against a large tree, looking a bit sleepy.
Quan Yi, on the other hand, was leisurely reading a book, but his face showed no signs of fatigue.
“Doesn't your stamina ever run out?”
If Huo Wu hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Quan Yi had exercised at noon.
“You're just not used to it yet. If you practice for a long time, you can do it too.”
Since awakening his martial soul, Quan Yi had noticed that his body's recovery ability was constantly strengthening.
This was also the reason for Quan Yi's "inappropriate" exercise.
Quan Yi guessed that this should be the influence of soul power on the body, but it was also inseparable from the solid foundation laid in the previous four years.
“While there's still time, you can take a nap. I'll wake you up when the teacher arrives.”
Seeing that Huo Wu was a bit tired, Quan Yi also persuaded her to rest for a while.
Huo Wu was indeed a little tired. Hearing that Quan Yi would help her keep watch, she felt a sense of relief, and her eyelids became heavy.
“Then I'll have to trouble you.”
After saying this drowsily, Huo Wu fell into a deep sleep.
Under the shade of the trees, a boy reads, a girl dozes, peaceful and harmonious.
More than forty minutes later, a petite figure was slowly walking from a distance.
Quan Yi took a closer look and saw that it was Teacher Bai Yan, but she wasn't wearing a teacher's uniform, but rather a close-fitting outfit that was easy to move around in.
Quan Yi gently shook Huo Wu.
“Wake up, the teacher is here.”
Huo Wu opened her eyes and stretched comfortably. After a nap, Huo Wu felt refreshed.
Quan Yi and Huo Wu got up, dusted themselves off, and walked towards Teacher Bai Yan.
“Before we start training, I'd like to understand your specific situation. Can you show me your martial souls and first soul skills?”
Quan Yi and Huo Wu nodded.
“Then let's start with Huo Wu.”
Bai Yan pointed to a stone not far away, indicating that Huo Wu should use the stone as a target.
Huo Wu took a few steps towards the stone, then stopped.
“Martial Soul Possession!”
A faint orange-red shadow suddenly appeared behind Huo Wu. The shadow was illusory and blurry, but its shape was exactly the same as Huo Wu's.
Huo Wu raised her right hand, palm facing outward, pointing at the stone.
Huo Wu silently recited in her heart: “First Soul Skill, Flame Bullet.”
A orange-red fireball condensed in her palm. The fireball was only the size of a palm, but the temperature of the fireball was not low. Quan Yi, standing a little further away, could feel the heat of the fireball.
In an instant, Huo Wu launched it towards the stone.
The fireball was very fast, like an orange-yellow arrow, shooting straight towards the target in the distance.
“Boom~!”
The fireball exploded the moment it hit the stone, and dazzling sparks splashed everywhere, like orange-yellow fireworks.
However, Huo Wu's soul skill was more dangerous than fireworks.
“Yes, a very good first soul skill, presumably with a high age limit.”
Bai Yan was very satisfied with the power of the soul skill. She could see that a crack had been blasted into the distant stone by the impact of the fireball.
The temperature, speed, and attack power were all impeccable.
Bai Yan was seeing Quan Yi's martial soul for the first time. The red and black color scheme, the slender and exquisite shape, firmly attracted Bai Yan's attention.
“So beautiful!” Bai Yan sighed inwardly.
Quan Yi walked to the stone.
He placed his right hand, covered with the gauntlet, on the stone.
When he removed his hand, a red rhinoceros horn mark was attached to the top.
Quan Yi returned to the two of them, reminding them: “Be careful!”
Although Quan Yi's actions were a bit strange, the moment Quan Yi reminded them, Huo Wu and Bai Yan focused their gazes on the stone.
“Boom~”.
A heavy explosion sound came from inside the stone, and the slightly cracked stone instantly exploded into dozens of smaller pieces, which flew out in all directions in the blink of an eye.
The scene in front of them made Huo Wu and Bai Yan feel terrified.
The two could see that the explosion originated from inside the stone.
If the stone was replaced by a human body, the two couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.
“Quan Yi, can you tell me about the effect of the soul skill?”
Bai Yan couldn't keep calm.
“This soul skill comes from the Exploding Rhino, named Rhino's Mark.
It imprints a mark through touch and causes an explosion from within.
Within fifty meters, I can detonate it freely, and once it exceeds fifty meters, the mark will explode automatically.
Once it is imprinted, even I cannot withdraw it. It is a very dangerous soul skill.”
Bai Yan was frightened by Quan Yi's description. This kind of soul skill was completely created for killing.
Bai Yan said to Quan Yi earnestly: “Quan Yi, I hope you can use this soul skill with caution.”
Quan Yi also understood the power of this soul skill.
“Don't worry, teacher, I won't use this soul skill on people easily.”
Seeing that Quan Yi also realized the seriousness of the problem, Bai Yan's somewhat flustered mood stabilized again.
“I already have an understanding of your martial souls and soul skills. Now, I will show my first soul skill.
After that, I will give you ten minutes to discuss, and then, the two of you will join forces to last a quarter of an hour in my hands.”
“What!” Huo Wu exclaimed. “If the teacher is our opponent, wouldn't we not even last a minute?”
Teacher Bai Yan is a Soul Ancestor-level powerhouse. Even if Quan Yi and Huo Wu's levels are added together, they are not as high as Bai Yan's.
Huo Wu couldn't imagine how to last fifteen minutes under the teacher's hands.
“Of course, I will only use my first soul skill, and my soul power will also be suppressed at level twenty.”
“Moreover, Quan Yi, I also allow you to use your first soul skill on me. Don't worry, even if it really explodes, with my strength, I can minimize the damage. You can use it to your heart's content.”
Martial Soul Possession.
As a fiery red light poured out of Bai Yan's body, the teacher's height instantly increased by more than ten centimeters.
Even Quan Yi was stunned by this scene.
It was as if a little girl suddenly grew into a female high school student, and her figure became tall and well-proportioned. Coupled with the tight-fitting outfit, Bai Yan showed the beauty of a mature woman.
Bai Yan's hands turned into white wings, and her feet also turned into slender crane legs. A crane's cry came from her mouth. At this moment, the pressure that Quan Yi and Huo Wu felt was far greater than the pressure in the classroom.
“Is this the true strength of a Soul Ancestor?”
Only now did Quan Yi truly feel the gap between himself and a Soul Ancestor powerhouse.
Bai Yan looked at the two of them and said: “Watch carefully, this is my first soul skill, Flame Feather Strike.”
Red light surged on the white wings. Bai Yan waved her right wing, and three red rays of light shot towards the stone.
“Puff, puff, puff.”
Three sounds came one after another.
Next to the stone that Quan Yi had broken, there was a brand new stone.
However, now there were three feathers stuck in the stone, about ten centimeters long, and half of them had already been inserted.
