#986 - Quan Niu's own hammer technique

Caught off guard by this unexpected attack, Gui'er could only rely on her hands, which were reinforced with her full soul power.

For this attack, she had bet everything on these hands.

Originally, this was a strategy to maximize attack power, but now it had become her last bastion of defense.

However, the moment her hands collided with Quan Ni's heavy hammer, Gui'er felt a strong tremor that swept through her entire body.

The powerful penetrating force, far exceeding the previous hammer blow, directly tore through the dual defense of soul power and vital energy. Immediately following was a completely different force of vibration, drilling into her body and instantly engulfing her.

This surprise attack of internal force was completely unexpected for Gui'er.

This energy, no weaker than soul power, unleashed a powerful effect comparable to a soul skill under exquisite control.

A self-created soul skill? No, more accurately, a self-created hammer technique executed using internal force.

If a direct descendant of the Clear Sky School saw this hammer strike, they would definitely be shocked, because this hammer not only incorporated the power techniques of the Clear Sky Nine Wonders, but also superimposed the application of internal force on top of that foundation.

This was a special hammer technique that Quan Ni had independently developed during the forging process.

Originally, this was intended to integrate internal force into the metal, and through the vibration of the internal force itself, drive out the impurities inside the metal.

Of course, because the compression and explosion of internal force were too chaotic, although the power was strong, it lacked precision. Therefore, this skill could not be applied to forging.

However, when this technique was applied to combat, there was no need to consider changes in the internal structure of the metal, and it could be unleashed without any reservations.

And so, under Quan Ni's simple self-created hammer technique, Gui'er flew backward uncontrollably.

This time, Quan Ni would not make the same mistake as before.

She stepped forward, the iron hammer in her hand smashing towards Gui'er, who was floating in the air, like a meteor.

Whether it was speed, power, or accuracy, it was impeccable. This heavy silver hammer was simply impossible for Gui'er to dodge.

"Bang!"

A muffled hammer blow echoed from Gui'er's abdomen.

Being struck in the abdomen by a hundred-kilogram metal object traveling at high speed, the impact caused her abdomen to ache as if it were twisted.

This impact directly shifted her body, which was about to fall, backward several meters again.

Having received two consecutive impacts, even the strong-willed Gui'er could not resist and fainted.

Just at this moment, Quan Yi, as the referee, moved behind Gui'er and caught her body.

While skillfully neutralizing the impact, he also used a recovery skill to completely restore the injuries in her body.

Her internal organs in her abdomen were damaged, and cracks appeared in the bones of both arms.

If it weren't for Quan Yi, these injuries would have been enough for Gui'er to recuperate for more than a month.

"As expected of my sister, Xiao Ni, you won this duel."

"Big brother, is Gui'er alright?"

This time, Quan Ni came to ask about the other party's condition after seeing Gui'er fly out of bounds.

She couldn't help but worry about the other party's injuries when she saw the blood remaining at the corner of Gui'er's mouth.

This was the first time Gui'er had so clearly and strongly felt the emotion called shame.

However, at this moment, Quan Ni happily exclaimed, "That's great, Gui'er, it's good that you're alright."

Quan Ni dropped the silver hammer in her hand, threw herself into Gui'er's arms, and hugged her tightly.

The force and warmth transmitted through the embrace, passed through her skin, and turned into a warm current that converged into her heart.

This soft and warm feeling made her feel a little lightheaded and very good.

‘This is human emotion, human feeling!’

At this moment, Gui'er received a strong 'human aura' from Quan Ni.

When this aura integrated into her body and neutralized the bestiality hidden inside, some element that hindered her progress was gradually worn away.

Driven by her body's reaction, Quan Gui'er hugged Quan Ni back and replied with a gentle expression, "Sister, I'm fine."

If it was out of a little teasing before, then Gui'er's current address of "sister" contained a bit more sincerity.

The two little girls helped each other up, and Quan Ni checked the other party's body back and forth before letting go with peace of mind.

"Alright, you two, gather here with me."

At some point, Quan Yi appeared in the center of the field and clapped his hands to greet the two.

The two happy girls, upon hearing his call, lowered their heads somewhat shyly and walked over quickly.

In the previous duel, both of them had performed unsatisfactorily, so they were a little afraid of hearing Quan Yi's reprimand.

However, Quan Yi began by praising and summarizing the duel.

"To be honest, as the first one-on-one duel in every sense, both of you performed commendably.

Xiao Ni, facing the combat-experienced Gui'er, you didn't blindly use your own advantages, but instead used tactical planning, using the smallest amount of power to achieve the greatest effect.

This is very commendable.

As for Gui'er, although this is only the second day since you transformed into a human form, your overwhelming combat talent and combat experience have made up for everything, allowing you to exert combat power above your level.

Therefore, you don't need to feel ashamed for losing. Your performance is also very commendable."

Quan Yi's praise and recognition were great honors for both of them. After all, the person praising them was the island's recognized strongest.

The weight of the praise was far beyond what others could compare.

However, just as their confidence greatly increased and their chins began to lift slightly, Quan Yi first raised them up and then suppressed them, saying:

"However, performing well doesn't mean there aren't points worth improving.

Xiao Ni, I've already pointed out your problem. Kindness is your advantage, but on the battlefield, if you can't limit it, this advantage will be used by your opponent and become a disadvantage."

Quan Ni had nothing to refute and could only nod repeatedly.

After finishing speaking about Quan Ni, Quan Yi's gaze turned to Gui'er.

Gui'er's body trembled slightly under the relatively unfamiliar stern gaze.

"Your problem highly overlaps with the points I praised earlier.

You should also feel that using the human body to exert the fighting style of the human period ultimately has its limits.

From now on, you must start learning human fighting methods from scratch.

This includes various aspects such as meridian circulation, physical training, and spiritual cultivation. It will take some effort for you to catch up with the progress."

Gui'er nodded heavily, earnestly accepting his advice.

"However, before that, you can first condense your first soul ring."
