#84 - Melting Ring

First Soul Skill, Spirit Shadow Assault.

Ziye's First Soul Skill's effect is to accelerate in short bursts.

Her figure suddenly accelerated, dodging to the right, avoiding the Fireball's attack.

"Bang!"

The Fireball, aimed at Ziye, flew directly out of the Soul Fighting Stage and crashed into the wall outside, creating an explosion.

Huo Wu's instantaneous attack without any warning startled Ziye into a cold sweat.

If she hadn't decisively used her First Soul Skill, it might have been difficult to dodge with just her physical speed.

After witnessing Huo Wu's attack, Ziye completely abandoned her initial contempt and began to take things seriously.

Huo Wu didn't press the attack; her soul power was less than her opponent's, and the current situation didn't allow her to waste it.

However, thanks to the sneak attack just now, Huo Wu had grasped Ziye's speed.

Ziye was fast, but Huo Wu had already adapted to this level of speed.

You must know that Huo Wu was already fighting agile attack-type Soul Masters at the Soul Master realm while she was still at the Great Soul Master realm.

Now that she has become a Great Soul Master, her body can keep up with her reaction speed.

Having dodged one attack, Ziye began to run around Huo Wu, observing her movements as she ran.

Having witnessed Huo Wu's attack just now, Ziye didn't dare to rush forward rashly. With the Fireball's power, she might be forced to leave the stage if she was hit even once.

Fire-attribute Soul Masters have always had top-notch attack power.

She, an agile attack-type Beast Soul Master, has no resistance to this.

"Didn't you say that Huo Wu was a control-type Soul Master? However, judging from her First Soul Skill, she seems more like a power attack-type Soul Master," Su Ling'er asked, puzzled.

"Huo Wu's development direction is indeed control-type Soul Master, but that doesn't mean she has to give up her advantages in attack.

The current Huo Wu is still in the development stage and cannot be considered a complete control-type Soul Master.

When she can become a control type depends on when she can obtain suitable skills," Quan Yi replied.

Moreover, control-type Soul Masters are not only judged by the effect of their soul skills but also by their ability to control the battle situation.

Ziye began to attack Huo Wu, but her advance route was somewhat strange. She wasn't approaching Huo Wu in a straight line but moving in a zigzag pattern.

This was clearly to guard against Huo Wu's First Soul Skill.

Huo Wu's pupils fixed on Ziye, responding calmly and composedly.

When Ziye approached Huo Wu within ten steps, Huo Wu waved her right hand first.

"Second Soul Skill, Flame Fiend Whip Dance."

Huo Wu waved her right hand forward, and an orange-red long whip lashed out at Ziye.

Ziye, who had been vigilant against the Fireball, didn't anticipate this move.

Huo Wu's timing and distance control were perfect, and the long whip was lashing at Ziye horizontally, making it impossible to dodge with her First Soul Skill.

"Second Soul Skill, Ethereal Displacement."

Faced with an unavoidable attack, Ziye didn't choose to resist head-on but used her Second Soul Skill.

A spiritual light flashed on Ziye's body, and her body suddenly became transparent. Huo Wu's long whip actually passed directly through Ziye's body.

After a brief period of transparency, Ziye returned to her original state.

Then, she quickly attacked Huo Wu.

"Not good."

Huo Wu had never anticipated such a situation, but she still had a trump card.

The long whip in Huo Wu's right hand disappeared in an instant, and then she raised her left hand.

First Soul Skill, Fireball.

A Fireball condensed in her hand and shot towards Ziye.

First Soul Skill, Spirit Shadow Assault.

Ziye had never let her guard down against the First Soul Skill. The moment Huo Wu raised her hand to aim, she decisively activated her First Soul Skill, dodging the Fireball.

But at the same time, her sudden attack was completely ruined.

Ziye suddenly retreated, facing Huo Wu's Second Soul Skill. Only by creating distance could she have a chance of survival.

Her Second Soul Skill could only be used once in a battle, so the next time Huo Wu forced her close, she would have no way to escape.

Huo Wu couldn't let this rare opportunity slip away. If she allowed her opponent to leave her attack range, it would be difficult to hit her again next time.

"Second Soul Skill, Flame Fiend Whip Dance."

The two soul rings behind Huo Wu lit up simultaneously.

Her right hand re-condensed with firelight. Huo Wu clenched her right hand and swung it forward forcefully.

Seeing Huo Wu swing the flame whip again, Ziye didn't feel the slightest tension in her heart.

Because, based on the previous attack, she had already determined the attack range of Huo Wu's Second Soul Skill.

Plus, she had retreated backward at the first moment. With the length of Huo Wu's long whip, it couldn't reach her at all.

Huo Wu's attack was destined to be a waste of soul power.

Just as she relaxed and wanted to retreat to regroup, her gaze swept over Huo Wu's long whip, which was emitting a faint blue light.

Just as she wanted to observe carefully, a crisp whip sound entered her ears.

At the same time, a piercing pain came from her abdomen.

How is this possible?

Ziye lowered her head and glanced at her abdomen, only to see a long scorch mark left on it.

Ziye couldn't believe it.

At this distance, how could I have been hit?

No, I have to retreat further.

Although she couldn't quite figure out the situation, she had to get away from Huo Wu.

Just as she wanted to endure the pain and continue to retreat, a strong burning sensation came from the wound on her abdomen.

This was a kind of pain and itching that was like ten thousand ants gnawing at her heart. Ziye's tears flowed, and what was worse was that she couldn't control her body at this moment.

With just this one blow, Ziye completely lost her ability to resist.

Huo Wu in the distance also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

What was going on?

In fact, just when Huo Wu used her Second Soul Skill for the second time, the long whip swung from Huo Wu's hand instantly changed from the original orange-red to a deep blue.

Moreover, the length of the long whip was much longer than before.

Just when Ziye thought she had escaped the attack range and felt fortunate, the dark blue long whip fiercely struck Ziye's abdomen.

"This, is this Ring Fusion?" Su Ling'er in the audience showed a surprised expression.

Su Ling'er was knowledgeable and well-informed. From the changes that had just occurred in the arena, she deduced the truth of the matter.

"What is Ring Fusion?" Quan Yi asked with some doubt.

"Ring Fusion is a special talent that only a very few gifted Soul Masters can use. They can simultaneously input the soul power of multiple soul rings into one soul skill. Through Ring Fusion, they can instantly increase the power of a soul skill several times over.

The only explanation for the sudden and dramatic change in Huo Wu's Second Soul Skill is Ring Fusion," Su Ling'er excitedly explained the characteristics of Ring Fusion to Quan Yi.

Quan Yi also learned about the information about Ring Fusion for the first time.
