What True Speed Really Is

What True Speed Really Is

"Arrogant!" Qin Tian flared with anger. As an Agility-Attack Soul Master, speed was what he prided himself on most, yet Lu Yuan had said his speed was nothing special. How could he possibly accept that?

Even the other trainees on the training grounds felt that Lu Yuan's words were somewhat arrogant. After all, Qin Tian's speed ranked second in the entire Training Camp, surpassed only by Lin Feng.

"First Soul Skill, Dark Night Assault!" Qin Tian's first soul ring lit up. His First Soul Skill, Dark Night Assault, came from the 300-Year Soul Beast, Dark Night Netherwolf. It concealed his body while increasing his speed by fifty percent, making it an exceptionally formidable skill.

"He disappeared?" Lu Yuan frowned slightly as he watched Qin Tian vanish from his sight.

"This kid is dead for sure!" Qin Yuan laughed loudly. Qin Tian's skill was remarkably powerful. If he had not already advanced to Soul Grandmaster, then at the same rank, even he would have found it difficult to defeat Qin Tian.

"This..." Yuan Xin looked at Lu Yuan, who remained motionless, and said to Yan Xiang, "It looks like Lu Yuan is in a very bad situation!"

"Heh, don't underestimate Lu Yuan. He's not that simple!" Yan Xiang did not seem concerned. The strength of an Agility-Attack Soul Master lay in their speed. Qin Tian's Dark Night Assault was certainly troublesome, but as long as one possessed sharp senses and strong combat awareness, it could still be overcome. He believed Lu Yuan was capable of that.

"Tsk!" Looking at the empty battlefield, Lu Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

"Since my eyes can't see him, then I simply won't use them." His tone was calm, yet filled with confidence.

"Putting on an act!" Hidden in the darkness, Qin Tian was so enraged by Lu Yuan's actions that he nearly exploded. "Die!"

Sneaking up beside Lu Yuan, Qin Tian slashed his sharp claws at Lu Yuan's throat. If that strike landed, the sharpness of those wolf claws could very well cost Lu Yuan his life.

With his eyes tightly shut, Lu Yuan cleared his mind.

His spiritual power had been extraordinary since childhood, and his perception far surpassed that of ordinary people.

"Here it comes!" Sensing the disturbance in the air from his right, Lu Yuan smiled faintly.

"Smack!" The sensation of claws tearing through a throat never came. Instead, to Qin Tian's surprise, his wolf claw was tightly seized by a golden dragon claw.

Before he could react, a whip kick lashed into his body.

He spat out blood in midair as his body was flung away and crashed to the ground.

After being struck by Lu Yuan, Qin Tian's soul skill naturally lost its effect. Thus, in everyone's eyes, Lu Yuan had suddenly kicked out, sending Qin Tian flying through the air while vomiting blood.

"What happened?" Everyone present was puzzled.

"It was the air!" A voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

The one who had spoken was none other than Lin Feng, the strongest person in the Training Camp!

"No matter how well he concealed himself, he could not stop the flow of air. Lu Yuan sensed the movement of the air, which was how he broke Qin Tian's soul skill!"

"So that's how it was!" After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, everyone came to a sudden realization. He had used the flow of air.

"But don't think sensing the flow of air is something easy. Without extraordinary perception, it is impossible to accomplish!" As if sensing the thoughts of the trainees around him, Lin Feng added.

"This Lu Yuan has very strong perception." Lin Feng stared at Lu Yuan's figure, a sharp gleam flashing through his eyes.

"So that was it!" Qin Tian climbed to his feet. He had heard Lin Feng's words as well.

"Admit defeat. You have no chance." Lu Yuan spoke calmly.

"Admit defeat? Impossible! Since concealment is useless, then I'll defeat you with absolute speed!" Qin Tian roared.

How could he possibly admit defeat to a six-year-old trainee who had just entered the Training Camp? Qin Tian had his pride too. Besides, he believed that as long as he relied on his absolute speed, the final victory would surely belong to him.

His body turned into an afterimage as Qin Tian charged at Lu Yuan once more!

"Stubborn fool." Lu Yuan shook his head, his gaze instantly turning sharp. "Then I'll show you what true speed really is!"

"Phoenix Dance Six Illusions!" Lu Yuan's figure instantly became ethereal, vanishing from where he stood in the blink of an eye.

"Where did he go?" Qin Tian froze. Lu Yuan had been standing there just moments ago. How had he disappeared in an instant?

"What are you thinking about?" A soft whisper sounded beside Qin Tian's ear, making his body tremble involuntarily.

His sharp wolf claws slashed toward his side, but the figure vanished. It had only been an afterimage!

"How can this be?" Qin Tian could not believe it. How could Lu Yuan be so fast?

"Your speed is truly disappointing." A voice tinged with faint disappointment sounded, followed by a whip kick that sent Qin Tian soaring into the sky!

"Bang!" Qin Tian's body slammed heavily into the ground. This time, he did not get back up.

Even at the end, Qin Tian could not believe it. He had not even touched Lu Yuan's shadow before he was already defeated.

"What incredible speed!" Lin Feng's expression turned solemn, though there was also a trace of eagerness in his eyes. The speed Lu Yuan had displayed reignited the fire in his heart. Such speed was already close to his own.

An uproar broke out across the training grounds once more. Lu Yuan had shocked them again. If his repulsion of Qin Yuan yesterday had displayed his astonishing strength, then the speed he displayed today was even more eye-catching. Such speed had already surpassed the Soul Master rank.

"This kid really has some skills. I'm getting more and more eager to exchange a few moves with him!" Yan Xiang was likewise shocked by Lu Yuan's speed. As a strength-type Soul Master, speed was not his forte. Though he was a Soul Grandmaster, his speed was still inferior to Qin Tian's, let alone Lu Yuan's, who was even faster than Qin Tian.

"Heh, what an impressive little brother." Feng Yuyan twirled a lock of long hair around her fingers, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Yuan with intense curiosity.

"Damn it!" Qin Yuan's side was an entirely different scene. Even if he were beaten to death, he would never have expected Qin Tian to be defeated by Lu Yuan so easily. Moreover, Lu Yuan's displayed strength and speed gave him a sense of crisis.

The current Lu Yuan already possessed the strength to threaten him. If this continued, then during the selection competition three months later, that brat might become a threat to him.

Qin Yuan's expression was ugly as he stared at Lu Yuan with eyes full of hatred.

Naturally, Lu Yuan did not care. His grudge with Qin Yuan had arisen for no reason at all. In the end, Qin Yuan had merely sought trouble and provoked him first. Seeing Qin Yuan's gaze, Lu Yuan laughed inwardly.

To him, Qin Yuan was merely a stepping stone, not even worthy of being taken seriously.

"The match is over. Lu Yuan wins!" Har announced the end of the match.

Seeing that Lu Yuan still looked utterly calm, Har could not help nodding to himself. As expected, this kid was different from ordinary people. He had won this match as well.
