Huo Wu's Unique Ability

"Ah!!!"

Huo Wu let out a roar, her face turning bright red.

She was now beyond furious.

All the methods she had devised to deal with Chen Feng Chen Feng were thwarted by him.

Moreover, from beginning to end, Huo Wu never got the chance to fight with all her might.

She felt stifled; all she felt was stifled.

From the sidelines, Gu Yue Ling looked at Huo Wu with some pity.

As a former victim, she knew very well what it felt like to fight Chen Feng —a torment of being unable to exert any strength.

Winning isn't satisfying, but losing is even worse.

Chen Feng always manages to find ways to make his opponents uncomfortable, thereby affecting their mentality.

For example, right now, Huo Wu's mentality is about to explode. She looks at Chen Feng, who is calm and collected, and her only thought is to punch him in the face.

That's what she thought, and that's what she did.

A purple Soul Ring lit up on Huo Wu's body, and she transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards Chen Feng.

In order to prevent Huo Wu from Ring Fusion, Chen Feng gave away his second, third, and fourth Soul Ring, which Huo Wu then took advantage of.

Admittedly, Huo Wu had never had her Soul Ring borrowed by Chen Feng before, so she was not familiar with Chen Feng's Soul Ring. However, she had watched Chen Feng 'Chen Feng matches and had a general idea of his Soul Skill.

Now, she decided to go all in, otherwise she would be furious if she lost like this.

When Chen Feng saw the Soul Ring on Huo Wu's body light up, he raised his hand, but then lowered it again.

Huo Wu transformed into a bolt of lightning and arrived in front of Chen Feng. Naturally, she didn't know the "Shunatsu" technique, so after the lightning dissipated, her body paused noticeably, and her expression was slightly dazed.

But she quickly realized what was happening and threw a punch at Chen Feng in front of her.

Chen Feng stood still, even canceling his Yang Sword state, and took the punch head-on.

Huo Wu was actually a little surprised that her punch actually landed. Her reaction was mostly one of venting her anger, since Chen Feng's fighting style was really too unsettling.

"Why didn't you dodge?" Huo Wu asked, clenching her fists. "Were you letting me win?"

"It's not about letting you go astray, it's just that I don't want you to waste your talent because of this," Chen Feng said frankly, rubbing his face.

"Hmph! What wrong path? I'm perfectly fine now. Didn't you see the power of my Purple Flame? If it weren't for your strange abilities, I would definitely be the winner of this match," Huo Wu retorted defiantly.

"But how's your hand?" Chen Feng asked.

Huo Wu instinctively tried to hide her gloved hands behind her back. "What's it to you?"

"I don't know much about poisons, but luckily I have a good friend who is an expert in this field. If I remember correctly, your corrosive purple flames are from your contact with the Purple Tongue Toad Poison, right?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"So what if it is?"

"Toad venom is extremely harmful to humans. The reason you're wearing gloves is probably because your hands have already mutated due to this Purple Tongue Toad Poison. If you continue like this, the venom will be further amplified by the flames, and your hands will be ruined sooner or later. It's really not worth it," Chen Feng sighed.

He and Huo Wu didn't have any fundamental conflict. The reason things developed to this point was because he had no choice but to use physical hypnosis on Huo Wu in order to interrupt her Soul Skill.

Huo Wu, being a competitive person, naturally couldn't swallow her pride after being publicly humiliated, which is why she considered unorthodox methods like the Purple Tongue Toad Poison.

Ultimately, the conflict between the two was not insurmountable.

A great man once said that we should make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

Chen Feng needs more support to accomplish what he wants, so he naturally won't allow unnecessary conflicts to continue.

Moreover, as he said, it's really not worth it for a genius Soul Master to lose both hands over such a small matter.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Huo Wu's face darkened, and she said self-deprecatingly:

"What can we do? I chose this path myself, so we can only take it one step at a time."

"My friend is an expert in toxicology; perhaps he can take a look for you," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Why are you helping me? Shouldn't we be rivals?" Huo Wu, somewhat puzzled.

"I just didn't want to see a talented young Soul Master lose both his hands like this. As for the opponent, I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'No fight, no friendship'?" Chen Feng said calmly.

Huo Wu pursed her lips. She sensed Chen Feng's magnanimity, and in the face of such a grand vision, she seemed rather petty.

"I'm sorry," Huo Wu apologized for her impulsive behavior.

"It's nothing," Chen Feng waved his hand.

Then Huo Wu conceded defeat on behalf of the Academy. After explaining the situation to her teammates, Chen Feng led her to the area where their team was located. Huo Wushuang, feeling a little uneasy, followed along.

"Why did Bro Feng bring that girl back? Could it be...?" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Impossible. Do you think Xiao Feng is as despicable as you?" Ning Rongrong said irritably.

"What's so disgusting about it? I mean, does Bro Feng want to trick that girl back so we can all teach her a lesson? Is that disgusting?" Ma Hongjun looked at Ning Rongrong with suspicion.

Ning Rongrong was speechless for a moment.

Tang San then said:

"I think Xiao Feng probably wants to treat Huo Wu's hand."

Xiao Wu was a little confused, "Didn't they just have a fight? Why is Xiao Feng still helping Huo Wu heal?"

"It's because he feels a little guilty. Xiao Feng feels that he drove a girl to such a dangerous point because of him. He believes that life should be used to protect, not harm," the Grandmaster said.

"That's what I think too." Tang San smiled and stood up to greet Chen Feng and the other two.

"Xiao San, can you take a look at her hands for me?" Chen Feng said to his friend who had walked over.

"Of course." Tang San nodded, looking at Huo Wu, "Would you mind letting me see your condition?"

Huo Wu had assumed that the person Chen Feng mentioned who was proficient in toxicology would be an Adulthood, but she was surprised to find that he was actually Chen Feng's teammate. She had some doubts about Tang San's abilities in toxicology because he was too young.

However, she felt that Chen Feng wouldn't make fun of her, so she took off her gloves and exposed her hands, which were covered in purple blisters from the disease.

"Hiss~" Everyone watching from behind gasped, and Oscar couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"That's too harsh on myself."

"Indeed," Meng Yiran beside her agreed. "I dare to do this because I have Tool Spirit; the poison won't affect my body through my Martial Soul. But what she did was truly..."

"How is she? Can she be cured?" Huo Wushuang hadn't expected his sister's condition to be so serious, and quickly asked.

"It's the Purple Tongue Toad Poison. It can be cured with a 200-year-old Ghost Cut Grass," Tang San said.

Huo Wu's eyes showed a hint of surprise, followed by disappointment. "That's what the doctor said too, but where can you find high-quality Ghost Cut Grass so easily? Thank you for your kindness in treating me."

After saying that, she prepared to leave.

Tang San called out to her at that moment, "Don't rush off, Miss Huo Wu, I happen to have an 800-year-old Ghost Cut Grass here."

Huo Wu turned around abruptly, "Are you serious?"

Tang San's hand brushed across the Jade Snow Ice, and a herb with mostly green leaves, serrated edges, and gradually turning red at the tips appeared in his hand.

Huo Wu's eyes widened. "It really is Ghost Cut Grass, and it's quite old! How much is it for?"

Tang San handed over the Ghost Cut Grass, saying, "Take this and use it to treat your illness. It's not a particularly precious herb."

Huo Wu shook her head. "That won't do. Two-hundred-year-old Ghost Cut Grass is already quite hard to find, and eight-hundred-year-old is even more valuable. Besides, this herb can cure my illness, so it definitely can't be free. Just name your price."

"This is really nothing special to me," Tang San said with a smile.

"I don't believe it." Huo Wu had barely finished speaking when she saw Tang San take out three more Ghost Cut Grass, each several hundred years old.

Do you believe me now?

"I believe you," Huo Wu said, but she still didn't take the Ghost Cut Grass.

Knowing that Huo Wu's pride wouldn't allow her to receive undeserved rewards, Chen Feng said:

"How about this, you write down your thoughts on ' Ring Fusion' and give it to the Xiao San, that'll be your reward."

"I can give it to you, but the Ring Fusion skill is unique to me. My teammates have all tried, and none of them have been able to learn it," Huo Wu reminded her.

"It's alright," Chen Feng said nonchalantly.

Huo Wu paused for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Fine, consider it a favor I owe you."

She felt that the Ring Fusion, something no one could learn, couldn't compare to the Ghost Cut Grass that could heal her hands, so she thought Chen Feng was giving her a way out.

Chen Feng indeed meant that. He only had the idea of trying out the Ring Fusion; whether he could learn it or not didn't matter, because it was simply not suitable for him.

He couldn't find a single high-powered Soul Skill from head to toe. Even if he could Ring Fusion, what would he do after fusing them?

After Tang San gave the Ghost Cut Grass to Huo Wu, he gave her a few more instructions on how to use it and some precautions, which Huo Wushuang naturally remembered carefully.

Then, Huo Wu took out several pages of paper that had been sewn together from her Storage Soul Tool.

"These are some of my insights about Ring Fusion that I shared with my teammates back then. Now I'm sharing them with you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Tang San took the notebook, glanced at it, and immediately raised his eyebrows before handing it to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took it with some confusion, glanced at it, and paused for a moment before asking:

"Huo Wu, what are your plans after the Spirit Master Tournament ends?"

"Plans? Hmm. I guess I'll first cultivate to the Spirit King level to get my fifth Soul Ring, and then become a teacher at the Academy or something," Huo Wu said after considering it for a moment.

"Would you be interested in teaching at our Academy?" Chen Feng asked.

"To your Academy?" Huo Wu was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "You shouldn't lack intermediate-level Soul Master to serve as teachers, so why do you want to invite me?"

"I find your insights on Soul Ring quite interesting. Of course, the Spirit Master Tournament isn't over yet, so it's a bit early to discuss this topic. How about we talk about it in detail after the competition ends?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"It's not impossible, we'll see when the time comes," Huo Wu said, seemingly understanding but not quite.

After Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu left, Chen Feng and Tang San exchanged a glance and silently returned to their seats.

Others overheard their conversation, and Oscar asked curiously:

"Bro Feng, what does it say that's made you so interested in Huo Wu?"

"It's just like I said, her insights into Soul Ring are different from ordinary people," Chen Feng said.

Oscar seemed to understand something and didn't ask any more questions, while the Grandmaster glanced at Chen Feng and Tang San.

The following matches were not particularly exciting. There were a total of thirty teams from the two empires and their subordinate kingdoms and duchies, most of whom were not worth paying attention to.

Those few Academy that deserve attention are manageable for Chen Feng and his team; winning against them shouldn't be difficult.

The teams that will truly require more effort are the Star Luo Royal Academy Team and the Spirit Hall Team, which will be encountered in the Finals.

In other words, Chen Feng can now study their opponents in the Finals.

After the match, everyone returned to the hotel together.

Without much conversation, everyone tacitly gathered in a room, waiting for Chen Feng and Tang San to explain.

"Xiao Feng, what's the story behind your previous statement about inviting Huo Wu to our Academy?" The Grandmaster was the first to ask.

"Huo Wu gave us a guide on Ring Fusion. In this guide, Huo Wu said that she could sense certain characteristics in the Soul Ring, and she believed that Soul Ring of the same attribute had certain common characteristics. The so-called Ring Fusion is how she uses these common characteristics in the Soul Ring to make different Soul Ring merge into one," Chen Feng said.

"What's wrong now? Does it mean that only she can do the Ring Fusion?" Ma Hongjun was a little confused.

Tang San shook his head and explained:

"The key isn't the principle of Ring Fusion, but rather that Huo Wu can sense certain things within the Soul Ring, which is very helpful for our exploration of the Soul Ring realm."

Chen Feng agreed.

"That's right. The so-called Ring Fusion is a talent. I used to think that Ring Fusion required extremely difficult operations, and only a very few people could complete it. But now it seems that it requires a unique perception ability."

Xiao Wu raised her hand, "If one doesn't have this perception ability, does that mean it's impossible to Ring Fusion?"

She was quite envious of Huo Wu's ferocious damage output, and was also somewhat interested in the Ring Fusion. If she could learn the Ring Fusion, her damage output would definitely reach a new level.

"Not necessarily," Chen Feng said. "Even without that sense, we can experiment, speculate, and summarize the basic principles of Ring Fusion through other means, and then realize it through other methods."

"Just like when we developed the Ring Expansion Method before," Tang San added.
