The duel between Ye Qifeng and Feng Xiaotian.
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, the brother and sister, kept a close eye on everything, not missing a single detail, especially Ye Qifeng's combat abilities.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian unleash his self-created soul skill, Huo Wu's bright face showed worry. She was worried that the handsome young man named Ye Qifeng would not be able to withstand Feng Xiaotian's attack and that the young man would be injured.
Huo Wushuang's eyes were also fixed on the two figures fighting in the arena. He held his breath and his soul power was faintly activated, ready to make a move at any time.
Once the black-clad youth was outmatched, he immediately stepped in to save him, shielding the youth from Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill attack.
but.
soon.
The brother and sister were dumbfounded.
The seemingly weak black-clad youth, Ye Qifeng, not only did not lose in the clash with Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill, but actually gained the upper hand.
They all misjudged the situation.
This boy is not weak at all; on the contrary, he is ridiculously strong.
As the collisions and collisions continue.
The expressions on Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's faces changed constantly, from astonishment to surprise, to shock, then to disbelief, then to questioning their existence, and finally to numbness.
It wasn't until the final blow was delivered, and Feng Xiaotian was sent flying, crashing into a distant wall, that the two finally came to their senses.
Feng Xiaotian actually lost?
Feng Xiaotian, who possesses a powerful self-created soul skill, was actually defeated?
Moreover, they were defeated head-on.
The black-clad youth remained calm and upright, without any injuries, and his face was neither flushed nor out of breath.
Ah, this.
Feng Xiaotian was completely crushed!
The shock in the brother and sister's hearts was beyond words.
They now knew that the knife in the boy's hand was a rare weapon-type soul skill, yet he had defeated Feng Xiaotian with just this one soul skill.
That's just outrageous, okay?
wrong.
The move the boy just used was somewhat similar to Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill, Gale Wolf Slash, but it was much stronger.
Could it also be a self-created soul skill?
Where did this pervert come from?
The brother and sister looked at each other and saw extreme shock in each other's eyes.
Huo Wushuang swallowed hard, his shock beyond words. His lips trembled for a long time before he finally managed to utter two words:
"So strong!"
Huo Wu stared intently at the handsome young man Ye Qifeng, her beautiful eyes sparkling with light. She felt even more curious and interested in him, and even more eager to explore the mystery surrounding him.
She had a vague feeling that this Ye Qifeng was not simple at all, and that he must have many secrets that had not yet been revealed.
At this moment, Huo Wushuang was the first to regain his senses, his gaze shifting to Feng Xiaotian, who had crashed into a distant wall, coughing up blood as he struggled to his feet. He left behind two sentences:
"Sister, you keep this young man here, don't let him leave. I'll go check on Feng Xiaotian first; he can't be allowed to get into trouble, after all, he's a guest visiting our Blazing Fire Academy."
After saying that, Huo Wushuang ran towards Feng Xiaotian's location.
Huo Wu, who was still in a daze, subconsciously nodded her head and murmured "Mmm" upon hearing this.
"Huh? Don't let him leave?"
After a moment, she came to her senses, not quite understanding what her brother meant, and wanted to ask him for clarification.
But Huo Wushuang had already run towards where Feng Xiaotian was.
"Brother Feng, are you alright?"
Huo Wushuang quickly arrived in front of Feng Xiaotian and asked him with concern.
He then knelt down and examined Feng Xiaotian's injuries, finding that they were not too serious; he only had broken both hands.
In the final clash, Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wings shattered, and the injury to his Martial Soul was reflected back to his body. The fact that he only suffered broken hands was already considered a very good result.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem.
Later, take him back to Blazing Fire Academy and ask the healing department teachers there for help; he will be fully healed.
Huo Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Feng Xiaotian's expression and condition were not good.
At this moment, he was leaning against the wall, slumped on the ground, his hands hanging limply, his eyes dim, and all his arrogance had vanished, as if he had suddenly lost all his energy.
His self-created soul skill, Gale Wolf Slash, which he had painstakingly researched over the years, is his ultimate killing move.
Now, however, they have been defeated head-on, and even crushed.
It would be strange if he had a good mindset.
At this point, his confidence had been severely damaged and crushed to pieces.
His opponent, the young man, remained completely composed throughout the entire exchange of his self-created soul skill attacks.
Judging from the young man's relaxed and calm demeanor, he must still have plenty of energy left.
I had always acted arrogantly and confidently, but now that I think about it, it's ridiculous.
Upon hearing Huo Wushuang's question.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head slightly and remained silent.
He let Huo Wushuang examine him, forgetting to react.
the other side.
"Don't let him leave?"
Huo Wu murmured softly, slowly savoring the words, trying to understand what her brother Huo Wushuang meant.
So you're telling me to figure it out myself?
Any method is acceptable?
Gradually, Huo Wu's eyes lit up as she came up with a good idea.
then.
She strode forward with her long, shapely legs toward the figure that she was becoming increasingly curious about, interested in, and eager to uncover the secrets of.
The final strike ended with nine layers of overlapping waves.
Ye Qifeng stood holding a knife.
Confirming that Feng Xiaotian was no longer capable of fighting, he sheathed his sword and returned. With a flick of his wrist, the Black Moon Blade vanished from his hand, transforming into a wisp of black soul power that returned to his body.
"Your name is Ye Qifeng?"
At that moment, a clear and melodious voice entered Ye Qifeng's ears.
Looking in the direction of the sound.
The first thing that catches the eye is a tall, graceful figure in wine-red—
It's Fire Dance.
Ye Qifeng's calm expression froze for a moment, replaced by a hint of embarrassment.
Huo Wu did not notice Ye Qifeng's frozen and changing expression.
At this moment, her face lit up with a look of predatory delight. She swayed her long legs gracefully towards Ye Qifeng, her left hand resting on her slender waist. She raised her delicate, long hand, pointing at Ye Qifeng, and then her red lips parted:
"You, fight me. I challenge you."
"ha?"
Ye Qifeng's lips twitched. "Um... Miss Huowu, I just finished a fight, could I..."
"cannot."
Before Ye Qifeng could finish speaking, Huo Wu interrupted him.
Huo Wu, hands on her hips, appeared somewhat domineering and spoke:
"I know you still have energy left. In your fight with Feng Xiaotian just now, you looked so relaxed and carefree, not even out of breath. You obviously didn't use your full strength."
As for how much energy you have left, I don't care. I just want to keep you here. Huo Wu thought to herself as she continued:
"You know what you did to me before. Anyway, you have to fight me, or you're not getting away."
Huo Wu finished speaking with a slightly flushed face, then suddenly her expression froze, as if she had remembered something.
Wait a minute, how did he know that his name was Huo Wu before?
Huo Wu then remembered that Feng Xiaotian seemed to have known her name before Feng Xiaotian arrived.
He called out his own name, seemingly trying to explain something to himself, but was interrupted by Feng Xiaotian's attack.
At the time, she was being held by him and her mind wasn't quite right, so she didn't pay much attention.
Looking back now, it seems he knew his name beforehand.
Was everything before a deliberate scheme by him? Was it all to lust after her beauty? Did he intentionally let her fall into his arms? Is he a lecherous man?
Huo Wu's pupils dilated instantly, and anger flashed across her bright face. With her straightforward nature, she immediately asked:
"How did you get my name? Did you fabricate everything before?"
Huh? What's this all about? Ahem—
Feeling both embarrassed and helpless, Ye Qifeng was taken aback by Huo Wu's sudden question and couldn't help but cough several times. Left with no other option, he could only explain:
"Miss Fire Dance, please don't misunderstand. Let me clarify first, it was all an accident, I really didn't mean to. As for why I knew your name beforehand, it's because I had the privilege of seeing a portrait of you."
Ye Qifeng told a lie, well, it wasn't really a lie.
The main reason is that his memories from his time on Earth contain detailed descriptions of Huo Wu's appearance, which could be described as a portrait.
She has long, wine-red hair, flame-shaped hair ornaments, a wine-red long dress, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and long, straight, slender legs, among other things.
These features are all too obvious.
When I first saw Huo Wu, I was simply amazed and didn't pay much attention. I can't recall her at the moment.
But after taking a few more glances, he quickly recognized it as Huo Wu.
"What portrait? Let me see it."
Huo Wu was skeptical, so she stretched out her jade hand and asked Ye Qifeng for it.
He didn't have any portrait; it was just an excuse. Ye Qifeng's lips twitched, and he had no choice but to explain again:
"I don't have a portrait of Fire Dancer in my hand. I've only seen it a few times and memorized it. I know some of the unique features of Fire Dancer's appearance."
"And in the entire Blazing City, there is no one else besides Miss Fire Dance who has long wine-red hair, wears a wine-red dress, and is so beautiful."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Huo Wu's expression was one of doubt.
It feels pretty good to be praised.
Yes, that's right.
Night Seven Wind nodded.
"Then why did you turn around and leave the moment you saw me? Was I not pretty enough?"
Huo Wu's slender eyebrows suddenly furrowed, a hint of annoyance in her heart.
You're not even attracted to my good looks?
This is even worse!
"Uh, this..."
Ye Qifeng really didn't know how to answer this question.
"Fine," Huo Wu waved her hand, "Anyway, as long as you fight me and we have a spar, I'll forgive you."
Ye Qifeng raised an eyebrow.
He simply couldn't face Huo Wu the way he faced Feng Xiaotian.
Since Feng Xiaotian had ambushed him and was determined to control him and beat him up, it was perfectly reasonable and justified for him to beat up Feng Xiaotian.
But you can't do that when facing Huo Wu.
After all, he had indeed offended her before. Although it wasn't intentional, an offense is an offense, and he really had no way to explain himself.
But accepting Fire Dancer's challenge is really a troublesome matter.
The main problem is the numerous troubles that follow.
Ye Qifeng felt helpless. Directly refusing was probably not an option; given Huo Wu's persistent nature, she would never let him go.
It would be best to let Huo Wu give up on her own.
Um.
I remember Mai Shiranui seemed to possess a secret technique...
Fusion ring.
Thinking of this, information about the Fusion Ring skill instantly flashed through Ye Qifeng's mind:
Ring Fusion is a special skill for using Soul Rings.
By fusing soul power, one can combine soul power of different attributes into soul power containing only one attribute, and then empower oneself or others.
This kind of secret technique can only be comprehended by those with exceptional talent. However, the soul power consumed by the ring fusion is too enormous, so it is not usually used lightly.
According to her memories, as fate dictates, Huo Wu will eventually acquire a powerful fourth soul skill, Huo Wu Yao Yang.
After using the Fusion Ring Technique, Huo Wu can instantly release the soul power that can be released when using the other soul rings' output skills, fusing it into the fourth soul skill, thus multiplying the power of the soul skill Huo Wu Yao Yang.
Fusion Ring can be considered Fire Dance's biggest trump card.
That's what I mean.
Ye Qifeng quickly came up with a good way to politely refuse Huo Wu's challenge.
With a thought racing through his mind, Ye Qifeng smiled and looked at Huo Wu, saying:
"Fire Dancer, I can grant your challenge, however..."
"But what?"
"Just having a challenge isn't fun enough. How about we place a bet?"
"Place a bet?"
Huo Wu was taken aback for a moment, then her face lit up with excitement. "Okay, I like it. Fighting without a wager is no fun at all. What do you want to wager? Let's agree on something first, it can't be too outrageous, it has to be something we both have."
Seeing the sudden excitement on Huo Wu's pretty face, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but twitch his lips. Why did he feel like he had done something counterproductive, instead arousing Huo Wu's excitement?
Well, since it's already been brought up, he could only continue:
"I've heard that Miss Fire Dance is exceptionally talented and possesses a secret technique called Ring Fusion, which I find quite interesting. If Miss Fire Dance loses, how about teaching me how to use the Ring Fusion technique?"
"The secret method of merging rings?"
Huo Wu paused, not immediately agreeing, but instead asking in surprise, "How did you know I know the Ring Fusion Technique?"
The fact that their Huo family possesses the Fusion Ring Secret Technique is not exactly a secret, but not many people know about it, and not just anyone is qualified to know it.
He actually knew.
This suggests that his identity must be extraordinary.
He wanted to know the techniques for using the Fusion Ring Secret Technique, and this was a good opportunity for me to uncover all his secrets.
He just fought Feng Xiaotian, so his strength must be greatly reduced now, right?
Hmph~~ It's still uncertain who will emerge victorious.
Huo Wu thought to herself.
"I naturally have my own ways of getting information, so there's no need to ask how Miss Huowu found out. Just tell me if it's alright? If not, perhaps we should just call it a day?"
Ye Qifeng said calmly.
The stakes are your trump card, the Ring Fusion Technique. That should make you less inclined to play against me now, right?
However, to Ye Qifeng's surprise, Huo Wu actually...
accepted.
"Can."
Huo Wu readily agreed without even thinking about it.
Ye Qifeng was dumbfounded.
No?
You really want to hand over the Fusion Ring Secret Technique to me?
While it's not entirely impossible, the Spirit Hall doesn't have the Fusion Ring Secret Technique, which is exactly what we need.
But that wasn't my intention.
At this moment, Huo Wu's voice rang out again:
"Since you've told me yours, I'll also mention my wager: if you lose, you have to tell me all your secrets."
"What? All my secrets? How did you know I had secrets? Fire Dance, you have quite the appetite."
Ye Qifeng looked at Huowu in surprise.
"Why not?"
Huo Wu raised her small face and pouted her red lips.
"All right."
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Qifeng nodded.
With the atmosphere already so tense, he had no choice but to agree.
