Huo Wu's Talent

Shrek Academy won the first match of the Promotion Match with an overwhelming victory, and the subsequent teams all showed off their best skills.

Apart from the Godwind Academy, which received a bye, Thunderclap Academy, Skywater Academy, and Blazing Academy all secured the final victory.

However, their opponents are not weak. Being able to enter the Promotion Match means that each team is a strong team, with at least one Soul Ancestor Master.

However, although the ten teams from the other kingdoms and duchies were quite strong, they were not strong enough to force the Four Element Academy to use their full strength. Therefore, even though Shrek Academy was just watching the matches, they did not see any interesting duels.

In the following days of the Shrek Academy did not receive a bye, nor did they encounter any of the Four Element Academy, so they achieved a complete victory in every match.

After that, Tang San, Dai Mubai and the others hardly had any chance to appear. Even when they sent Jing Ling and Huang Yuan, it was considered a test for them. In the end, Tai Long or Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu would come to the rescue.

After seven matches, the Shrek Academy Team has accumulated 49 points, with Tai Long scoring 20 points, Jing Ling 10 points, Huang Yuan 9 points, and Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu each scoring 10 points.

Among them, Tai Long had the most opportunities to appear in the Shrek Academy Team, after all, he had just broken through to the Soul Ancestor: this was a good opportunity for him to familiarize himself with his strength and Fourth Spirit Ability.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing only appeared to ensure the final victory; Tang San and Dai Mubai didn't even have a chance to appear.

Not to mention the hidden Ma Hongjun, Spirit King at level 55.

The Four Element Academy's results are similar to the Shrek Academy's. So far, they haven't faced off against each other. However, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Yu Tianxin, Shui Bing'er Feng Xiaotian have performed exceptionally well.

Whenever any of them are on the field, they almost always win by crushing the opponent.

On the eighth day, the eighth round of the Promotion Match, Shrek Academy Team finally faced off against Blazing Academy Team.

Although Huo Wu knew that it was even less likely for them to defeat Shrek Academy, which had a level 55 Spirit King like Dai Mubai, in a one-on-one fight, Huo Wu was determined to defeat the rest of the Shrek Academy.

Even if they lose, they want to lose gracefully.

At the referee's signal, each side sent out their first player.

Jing Ling was the first to take the stage from the Shrek Academy, and his opponent was Huo Yu.

Jing Ling is only level 36, while Huo Yu's Soul Power has already reached level 39, just one step away from level 40.

Without a doubt, Jing Ling lost the first match. After all, Huo Yu 'Soul Power Level was three levels higher than Jing Ling's, and his Martial Soul was Fire Crane with the ability to fly.

In the second match, Huang Yuan from the Shrek Academy took the stage. Huang Yuan was also only level 36, and he was defeated by Huo Yu in the end as well. However, Huo Yu's Soul Power was almost completely depleted.

Although Jing Ling and Huang Yuan were both defeated, they managed to deplete Huo Yu's Soul Power as much as possible through their own efforts.

The third Shrek Academy student to take the stage was Tai Long. Facing the Huo Yu, which had the ability to fly, Tai Long didn't have a good countermeasure, but the Huo Yu also couldn't cause any effective damage to Tai Long.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a long time, until finally Huo Yu's Soul Power was exhausted, allowing Tai Long to seize the opportunity and eliminate him.

The second student from the Blazing Academy to take the stage was Huo Yun. He and Huo Yu are twin brothers, and their Martial Soul are both Fire Crane, with Soul Power Level of thirty-nine.

Faced with an opponent who could fly, Tai Long felt powerless and his Soul Power was constantly being depleted by the Huo Yun. In the end, the two ended in a draw.

This is the tactic of the Blazing Academy: first, send out the Huo Yun and Huo Yu brothers, who have the ability to fly, to wear down the opponent and gain an advantage.

In fact, Huo Wu's tactical arrangement was indeed good. Two people from the Blazing Academy eliminated three people from the Shrek Academy, including one Soul Ancestor. Judging from the results, Blazing Academy had already gained the upper hand.

However, Shrek Academy's new recruits, or rather, those with relatively weaker abilities, have already been sent out. The next person to take the stage is Zhu Zhuqing, who is level 45.

In this match, Blazing Academy fielded Huo Bao Soul Elder, level 38, instead of their captain Huo Wu and vice-captain Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wu had almost guessed the Shrek Academy Team's order of appearance, and the purpose of sending out the Huo Bao Soul Elder was to deplete Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power.

At the start of the match, Soul Elder Huo Bao immediately activated all three of his Soul Skill without holding back. His goal was to deplete Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power, making it easier for the teams that followed, or even for them to defeat Zhu Zhuqing.

However, the difference in Soul Power between the two sides was still too great. Zhu Zhuqing directly used her First Spirit Ability: Netherworld Stab, to get close and injure her opponent, and then used her Second Spirit Ability: Netherworld Hundred Claws, to eliminate her.

The entire process took less than a minute before Zhu Zhuqing eliminated Huo Bao Soul Elder.

Zhu Zhuqing used three Soul Skills in succession. Although her Soul Power was somewhat depleted, with her current foundation, this depletion was nothing.

Next up from the Blazing Academy is the level 37 Huo Xing Soul Elder. Although his abilities lean towards support, he also possesses considerable attack power and control capabilities.

The reason he was still sent to participate in the Promotion Match was because his Spirit Abilities had a great limiting effect on Zhu Zhuqing's Agile Attack System.

It has to be said that Huo Wu is indeed very clever. She calculated the order of appearance of the Shrek Academy from the very beginning, and every move she made was just right, depleting the opponent's Soul Power as much as possible.

Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power Level was eight levels higher than that of the Huo Xing Soul Elder. With such a huge difference in Soul Power, the opponent went all out from the start, releasing three Soul Skills in an instant. Lie Yan ignited within a five-meter radius around him, instantly forming a circular wall of fire that protected him.

Zhu Zhuqing intended to use her First Spirit Ability: Netherworld Stab, to break through the wall of fire, but she discovered that her opponent had anticipated her direction of attack and concentrated all the flames in that direction.

Although Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power Level suppressed her opponent, she was still unable to force her way through the terrifying wall of Lie Yan; otherwise, she would have been burned by the Lie Yan.

Zhu Zhuqing's original idea of conserving Soul Power was shattered, and she could only use her Third Spirit Ability: Netherworld Slash, to forcefully tear a gap in the fire wall with this powerful single-target attack Soul Skill. Then, she used the extreme speed of her First Spirit Ability to instantly approach her opponent and eliminate her with her Second Spirit Ability: Netherworld Hundred Claws.

The entire process took less than a minute. Even when facing Zhu Zhuqing, the members of the Blazing Academy didn't think about winning. All they wanted to do was deplete Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power.

After using her first and Second Spirit Ability First Spirit Ability twice, plus her Third Spirit Ability once, Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power was consumed by about 30%.

At this point, four members of the Blazing Academy had been eliminated, and their advantage had been leveled.

However, the fifth person to take the stage from the Blazing Academy was Vice Captain Huo Wushuang, Martial Soul was the Unicorn Fire Dragon, a level 43 Attack Spirit Master.

During the month, everyone at the Blazing Academy did not slack off, and Huo Wushuang's Soul Power Level even increased by one level.

Facing Zhu Zhuqing, whose Soul Power Level was two levels higher than his own, Huo Wushuang's expression did not change at all. There was only one thing he needed to do: to eliminate his opponent as much as possible.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing had already had a significant amount of Soul Power depleted by her two teammates, which increased Huo Wushuang's chances of victory.

Huo Wushuang stepped onto the stage, and after releasing his Martial Soul, Douluo Dalu Season 1.

Huo Wushuang was extremely powerful. He used his First Spirit Ability and Second Spirit Ability Soul Skill, transforming his hands into Crimson Flame Dragon Claws and covering his body with a layer of fiery dragon scale armor, directly grabbing at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing used the speed advantage of her First Spirit Ability: Netherworld Stab, to launch a frontal attack on Huo Wushuang. Netherworld Hundred Claws landed on Huo Wushuang's back, grabbing Huo Xing and even a few pieces of fiery red scales.

However, Zhu Zhuqing's claws were also burned painfully by Huo Wushuang's flames, a case of injuring the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of her own.

After finishing her attack, Zhu Zhuqing used her speed advantage to instantly create distance and moved to the side to unleash her Third Spirit Ability: Netherworld Slash.

Unleashing a terrifying, single-target, strongest slash, Huo Wushuang directly used his Third Spirit Ability, further boosting his various attributes. His pair of Crimson Flame Dragon Claws actually caught Zhu Zhuqing's Third Spirit Ability.

The two continued their back-and-forth battle, but because Zhu Zhuqing had previously lost some of her Soul Power to the two Soul Elders, her advantage in Soul Power had vanished. The battle lasted for nearly ten minutes and ended in a draw.

Although Zhu Zhuqing's advantage in Soul Power was gone, Huo Wushuang was also basically unable to launch an effective attack on Zhu Zhuqing. In the end, the Soul Power of the two was rapidly depleted, and after their final clash, they both left the range of the Spirit Arena, resulting in a draw.

Huo Wu's expression changed slightly upon seeing this situation. Clearly, this was not the result she wanted. In her calculations, Zhu Zhuqing, who had consumed so much Soul Power, should not be a match for her brother.

After all, his brother was already level 43. The breakthrough in his Soul Power Level greatly improved Huo Wushuang's strength. However, he did not expect that the gap of two levels of Soul Power was still insurmountable. In the end, although Huo Wushuang defeated Zhu Zhuqing, he himself was eliminated.

In the next match, Blazing Academy sent out its sixth member, whose Martial Soul was also Huo Xing and Soul Power Level was also level 37, while Shrek Academy sent out Xiao Wu.

Currently, besides Xiao Wu and Huo Xing Soul Elder on the field, Shrek Academy still has Tang San and Dai Mubai left, while Blazing Academy only has Captain Huo Wu left. The advantage still belongs to Shrek.

If Huo Wu is able to defeat Xiao Wu in the end, then they will have the opportunity to face Dai Mubai or Tang San later.

So far in the Promotion Match, neither Dai Mubai nor Tang San has shown their faces even once.

As the match began, this Huo Xing Soul Elder, just like the one Zhu Zhuqing faced, directly used three Soul Skills to create a wall of fire within a five-meter radius around himself. He didn't expect to defeat Xiao Wu; he simply wanted to deplete his opponent's Soul Power as much as possible.

Xiao Wu used her Third Spirit Ability to instantly pass through the wall of fire, and after getting close to Huo Xing Soul Elder, she used her First Spirit Ability: Waist Bow, to eliminate him.

Using her third and First Spirit Ability consumed less than 20% of her Soul Power, so Xiao Wu was confident she could defeat Huo Wu, who was also at level 43.

After all, Huo Wu doesn't have explosive attacks like Huo Wushuang, which makes her afraid. Moreover, her Teleportation is exactly what Huo Wu uses to resist fire Resisting Fire Ring. As long as she passes through the Resisting Fire Ring the moment they form, she can easily control Huo Wu once they get close.

With Huo Wu entering the arena, all seven members of the Blazing Academy have now entered the game. If Huo Wu loses this match, Shrek Academy will achieve an eight-game winning streak.

Facing Xiao Wu, Huo Wu said with a hint of mockery, "I know what you're thinking. Your Teleportation skill counters my Resisting Fire Ring, so you think you have the victory in your grasp?"

Hearing Huo Wu's words, Xiao Wu smiled slightly, "Since you know, why don't we both conserve some Soul Power and you just admit defeat?"

Huo Wu snorted coldly, "Admit defeat? If you're so capable, then defeat me and make me leave in a fair and square manner!"

Xiao Wu's smile faded, and she said softly, "Okay, but you have to be careful, sister, my Waist Bow hurts a lot."

This reminded Huo Wu of her experience in the Preliminary Round. Of course, she was eliminated after Xiao Wu got close to her. It wasn't that Huo Wu thought highly of Xiao Wu, but that she really had no chance to fight back after Xiao Wu got close. A single Waist Bow knocked her unconscious, and her back ached for several days before it healed.

Huo Wu didn't say anything more. Last time it was because she was careless. This time, she made everyone understand what kind of strength a true genius can possess.

Even though they're both at level 43, there are still differences.

Huo Wu released her Martial Soul, and four Soul Rings, Two Yellow Two Purple, rose up. Before Xiao Wu could attack, she directly activated her Third Spirit Ability, Resisting Fire Ring.

Xiao Wu was completely stunned by this situation. Before she could even react, her opponent had already started to defend.

Faced with Huo Wu's direct release of the Resisting Fire Ring, Xiao Wu couldn't find an opportunity to attack for a while. After all, Teleportation is not a teleportation skill and cannot pass through the circle of the Resisting Fire Ring.

However, it's not without a chance. The Third Spirit Ability at this level definitely consumes a lot of Soul Power. During the previous Preliminary Round, Huo Wu only used the Resisting Fire Ring to block the enemy for a moment and then withdrew it. But now she keeps releasing it. Xiao Wu accidentally has so much Soul Power to support it.

As long as Huo Wu's Soul Power is exhausted, she can still win. Besides, is there no chance if she doesn't get close? Xiao Wu's Second Spirit Ability Charm Resisting Fire Ring, cannot be defended against.

However, just as Xiao Wu was about to use her Second Spirit Ability, she discovered that Huo Wu, who had released the Resisting Fire Ring, had simply closed her eyes and was not paying any attention to Xiao Wu at all.

Clearly, Huo Wu and the others have thoroughly studied Xiao Wu's four Soul Skills. However, her Second Spirit Ability only works when she makes eye contact with the enemy; otherwise, it will have no effect.

Huo Wu, with her eyes closed, wasn't simply standing still Resisting Fire Ring to consume her Soul Power. At this moment, a burst of Lie Yan surged from her body, and her four Soul Ring — Two Yellow Two Purple— shone brightly, her essence, energy, and spirit beginning to coalesce.

In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but marvel at what he saw.

Xue Ye looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked, "Sect Master Ning, have you seen through this young girl's deeper meaning?"

Ning Fengzhi replied, "This little girl is very clever. She used the Resisting Fire Ring to block Xiao Wu's attack, while she herself was gathering strength for an even more powerful attack."

"I'm sure His Your Majesty has noticed the difference in this girl from the Blazing Academy, hasn't he?"

Xue Ye nodded. "She must be using a special skill. Her spirit, energy, and energy have reached their peak, and all four Soul Rings are responding at the same time. This is not something an ordinary Soul Master can do."

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, this little girl is currently using a special skill called— Ring Fusion."

Xue Ye paused for a moment. "You mean that special skill that integrates all one's power into a single Soul Ring and then unleashes it?"

Ning Fengzhi replied, "That's right. Your Majesty should know that the Ring Fusion is a special skill that only true geniuses can master. By concentrating all power into a single Soul Ring, the effect of this Soul Skill will undergo a dramatic change."

Ring Fusion is not a skill, but a talent, or a special skill that varies from person to person. Only a few extremely special Soul Master can possess this ability.

Ring Fusion means releasing the Soul Power that can be released when using several Soul Rings to output skills at the same time in an instant. It can also be described as releasing a large amount of Soul Power in an instant and then using only one Soul Skill.

The biggest advantage of Ring Fusion is its explosive power. Simply put, if a pool of water has only one outlet, then the water can only flow out from that one outlet. Although it will eventually run dry, it can never compare to the speed at which four outlets flow out simultaneously.

When the Ring Fusion, one's own Soul Power output is maximized, and the power of the Spirit Abilities used at this time will undoubtedly be multiplied.

Just as Ning Fengzhi was explaining, Huo Wu's Fourth Spirit Ring, tinged with purple, lit up.

Incandescent Lie Yan condensed in Huo Wu's palm, the temperature already affecting those outside the 100-meter diameter competition platform. This time, Huo Wu released not scorching flames, but the most core power of the flames—an explosion.

"Huo Wu's Blazing Sun!" Huo Wu shouted.

A white orb of light, one meter in diameter, floated out and flew straight toward Huo Wu, who was not far away. Upon releasing this white orb of light, Huo Wu's face immediately turned pale.

Although the Ring Fusion is powerful, it also consumes a great deal of Soul Power. At this moment, Huo Wu no longer has enough Soul Power to support her fight against Xiao Wu. But how could Xiao Wu possibly withstand this move? She can lose, but she must lose gracefully.

Sensing the blazing fireball, Xiao Wu knew she had no chance of defending against it. Of course, if she used her Fourth Spirit Ability, Invincible Golden Body, she could defend for four seconds.

However, this was obviously meaningless. Xiao Wu quickly moved to the left, trying to avoid the attack range of the blazing white fireball. But to Xiao Wu's surprise, the fireball was locked on and moved with her.

Upon discovering this problem, Xiao Wu immediately turned her gaze to Huo Wu. She naturally understood Huo Wu's thoughts, but how could Xiao Wu let her have her way? You want to lose gracefully? The next moment, Xiao Wu spared no effort to expend a large amount of Soul Power to activate the Teleportation skill twice in succession, instantly appearing in front of Huo Wu. Her Scorpion Braid lashed out and Entanglement Xiao Wu Huo Wu's neck, locking Huo Wu in place. Then, she twisted her body, turning Huo Wu to face the oncoming blazing white fireball.

At this moment, Huo Wu's Soul Power was greatly depleted, and coupled with Xiao Wu's gentle techniques, she was completely unable to break free from Xiao Wu's control, and could only watch helplessly as the fireball crashed towards her.

Just then, a voice came from the Shrek Academy viewing area. "Xiao Wu, release them!"

Upon hearing Oscar's voice, Xiao Wu instantly sprang to attention, flicking her Scorpion Braid to send Huo Wu flying. She then used Teleportation to escape the fireball's attack range once more.

Just as the fireball was about to engulf the surrounding knights, a Soul Saint- level referee intervened. This Soul Saint used his Sixth Spirit Ability to completely control the blazing fireball.

Huo Wu was thrown out by Xiao Wu and crashed heavily to the ground. She was already exhausted of her Soul Power and was immediately knocked unconscious.

Huo Wushuang Feng Xiaotian rushed over excitedly, picked up Huo Wu, and called for help from the medical team nearby.

Xiao Wu landed smoothly. Although she had used Teleportation three times in a row, Xiao Wu Soul Power was quite depleted, but she was not injured. However, when she met Oscar's gaze, she became somewhat insecure.

"Senior Student... I..." Xiao Wu said shyly.

Oscar glanced at Xiao Wu: "You did the right thing. When facing an enemy, you should go all out as long as she hasn't fallen yet. However, she was clearly exhausted of her Soul Power. If she had taken that attack head-on, she would have been seriously injured even if she didn't die."

Oscar said, then looked at the others. "This is a competition. If you injure your opponent, you will be suspended. Of course, if this were a battlefield, I would agree with Xiao Wu's actions."

Hearing Oscar's words, Xiao Wu finally smiled. She had thought her Senior Student was going to criticize her, and she was startled! PS: Typos will be corrected later.
