#47 - Lost Fire Dance

"Could these tactics really be thought of in fifteen minutes?" Huo Wu asked in surprise.

"Fifteen minutes?" Quan Yi was stunned. It seemed Huo Wu had misunderstood something.

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. I've just been thinking about how to defeat Teacher Bai Yan since yesterday."

In fact, Quan Yi's strategies weren't so-called flashes of inspiration, but rather the result of his meticulous analysis and calculation.

They were the result of him combining the experience and information from the first battle, spending all his free time, and calculating bit by bit.

Even when his body was resting, his mind didn't rest for a moment.

Hearing Quan Yi's words, Huo Wu's cherry-like mouth was wide open at this moment, her eyes fixed on Quan Yi.

At this moment, Quan Yi's back suddenly became incomparably tall in her eyes.

In Quan Yi's words, Huo Wu felt the biggest difference between herself and Quan Yi, which was the difference in attitude.

Towards cultivation, whether it was exercising the body, cultivating soul power, or combat training, Quan Yi never slacked off in the slightest, always doing his best.

Huo Wu felt unprecedented pressure from Quan Yi.

In the past two days of combat training, even if she tried her best, she still couldn't compare to Quan Yi, and even became Quan Yi's burden and foil. The extremely proud Huo Wu couldn't accept this reality.

This made Huo Wu suddenly have deep doubts about herself.

Can I really catch up with Quan Yi?

Quan Yi was like a dazzling sun. The closer Huo Wu got, the more she felt as if she was being roasted by the blazing sun.

Huo Wu suddenly fell into silence. Quan Yi asked strangely, "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"

After a while, Huo Wu asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yi, can I really catch up with you?"

Quan Yi understood Huo Wu's meaning, never expecting that the cheerful Huo Wu would also have times of depression.

"I won't slow down to wait for you."

Quan Yi didn't stop, nor did he comfort Huo Wu. On the contrary, his words seemed cold and ruthless.

Huo Wu's heart was stimulated by the cold words. She suddenly felt her head sink, and her heart seemed to sink to the bottom of a valley, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Then she felt her eyes heat up, and tears welled up in her eyes, but Huo Wu held back.

Quan Yi was looking forward the whole time and didn't notice Huo Wu's emotional changes.

He continued to walk forward a few steps, saying as he walked:

"Because I see you as a rival. Don't expect me to pity you. If you want to catch up with me, then work hard."

What?

Huo Wu's tear-soaked eyes suddenly widened, and the tears that she had been holding back suddenly flowed down.

Huo Wu hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away the tears that almost fell on Quan Yi's shoulder.

"Hmph, conceited! Of course, I don't need you to pity me. You're just being sentimental. ♦ ♦     ♦ ♡" Huo Wu retorted娇嗔, but her voice trembled slightly.

She heard Quan Yi's recognition of her in Quan Yi's words. This was more effective than any comfort.

Quan Yi didn't expose Huo Wu's fragility, but silently walked forward.

The haze in Huo Wu's heart at this moment suddenly disappeared. Quan Yi's words 'rival' aroused Huo Wu's fighting spirit.

"Quan Yi, don't be complacent. You must remember this, I will always be chasing after you. As long as you slack off, I will immediately surpass you, and I will never give you a chance to surpass me again."

Huo Wu raised her head, raised her right hand high, pointed to the sun in the distance, and swore loudly.

"Hahahaha, how scary." Quan Yi saw Huo Wu cheer up and smiled to cooperate with Huo Wu.

"What are you laughing at? You should be more nervous." Huo Wu patted Quan Yi's shoulder with some dissatisfaction.

"It's nothing, and I'm very nervous now."

If it was someone with a huge difference in talent, Quan Yi wouldn't be so cruel as to encourage the other party to pursue an impossible dream.

However, Huo Wu was different. She was only six years old. It would be a pity if she became depressed so early because of a temporary setback.

"Alright, your dormitory is almost here. Remember to rest well. Don't drag your tired body to cultivate, it will only be counterproductive." Quan Yi instructed.

"Got it." Huo Wu jumped down from Quan Yi's back.

Huo Wu looked at Quan Yi, her face a little flushed, and said hesitantly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Quan Yi said with a smile.

Huo Wu turned around and hurried into the dormitory.

She felt ashamed of showing her fragile side to Quan Yi, but at the same time, she felt grateful to Quan Yi, so she was a little shy.

Quan Yi watched Huo Wu enter the dormitory before turning to leave.

The playground, this place seemed to have become Quan Yi's personal training ground.

Coming here, Quan Yi began to train his soul skills and control flames.

Quan Yi's self-created soul skill - Flame Bullet, wrapped in the Rhino Seal, rushed to the distance.

"Bang!" A huge explosion came from Quan Yi's front.

This was the last move Quan Yi used in today's battle.

This was the longest distance, fastest speed, and most powerful move that Quan Yi had mastered at this stage.

Moreover, this move could also produce a secondary explosion, further extending the attack distance.

Quan Yi, who had the ability to control fire, could of course perform a second-stage attack like Huo Wu, but he didn't have the opportunity to show it in today's battle.

In the process of cultivation, Quan Yi discovered a secret. That was that 'Hardness and Sharpness' was of great help to Quan Yi's control of flames.

If he hadn't experienced the cultivation process of 'Hardness and Sharpness', Quan Yi's control of flames would definitely not be as good as it was now.

The essence of 'Hardness and Sharpness' cultivation was the cultivation of mental power, and controlling flames also required mental power.

The cultivation of 'Hardness and Sharpness' and flame control training were actually connected to a certain extent.

Quan Yi felt that 'Hardness and Sharpness' could actually be called a self-created soul skill.

Without relying on soul rings, it could produce a certain amount of attack power and defense power with just soul power, which could indeed be called a self-created soul skill.

It was at this moment that Quan Yi became more curious about the founder of the Quan family's boxing technique, Quan Yi's grandfather.

"Bang! Bang!" Two consecutive explosions were Quan Yi's secondary ejection.

The exquisite operation required the controller's strong mental power. Quan Yi had a certain talent in terms of mental power.

However, Quan Yi didn't practice this move much.

Because this move had a biggest flaw, which was the fifty-meter range limit of the Rhino Seal.

The power and distance of Quan Yi's Flame Bullet would increase with the increase of control and soul power.

However, the Rhino Seal was different. It had a strict distance limit.

Moreover, the Rhino Seal itself was not a long-range attack. Its more role was to play in close combat.
