"I, Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy, challenge Mo Hui of Godwind Academy!"
Hearing the voice from the Soul Duel Arena, Mo Hui was first taken aback, then pointed at himself in confusion, as if asking, Are you calling me?
"That's right, you—the kid reading a book!"
Seeing Mo Hui's expression, Huo Wu grew somewhat annoyed and provocatively said, "What? Don't tell me you're scared?"
"Mo Hui, you should go up. Huo Wu is proud and competitive by nature. If you don't, she'll think you're looking down on her. Your days probably won't be easy after that."
At that moment, Feng Yunfan turned slightly and reminded him in a low voice.
Hearing this, Mo Hui sighed helplessly. He had thought there would be nothing for him to do, but in the end, it was still his turn.
Storing his book in his Soul Tool, Mo Hui turned into a streak of green and reached the Soul Duel Arena after a few leaps.
"Hmph! You finally decided to come up. I heard you defeated Feng Xiaotian. Is that true?"
Seeing Mo Hui step onto the platform, Huo Wu snorted. After sizing him up, she asked.
Mo Hui nodded and said calmly, "That's right. I did defeat him."
The moment those words left his mouth, surprise flashed through Huo Wu's eyes. Although she did not like Feng Xiaotian, she did not deny his strength. How had someone so young defeated him?
However, Huo Wu quickly stopped dwelling on it. Whether he was a mule or a horse, they would find out after a fight.
"Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy. Martial Soul: Fire Shadow. Level 37 control-type Battle Soul Elder!"
Huo Wu spoke first. A fiery-red shadow then appeared behind her, like a crimson ghost.
Seeing this, surprise flickered in Mo Hui's eyes. Could it be that you have a Stand too?
But the thought passed in an instant. Mo Hui then said, "Mo Hui of Godwind Academy. Martial Soul: Pidgeotto. Level 34 Battle Soul Elder!"
"Level 34? How old are you?"
Mo Hui's words made Huo Wu raise a brow as she asked.
Mo Hui answered, "I just turned twelve not long ago. Why?"
Twelve years old and level 34?
Hearing this, Huo Wu's first reaction was disbelief. How could anyone cultivate that quickly?
Yet her reason told her that there was no need for him to lie in a situation like this. There was no point.
That only made her more shocked. When she had been twelve, she had only been level 26. This person had progressed so much faster than she had!
"Enough nonsense. Let's start already. Once we're done, we can go back and rest."
As he spoke, three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared around Mo Hui. A faint cyan glow also radiated from the Pidgeotto above his head.
Mo Hui gave Huo Wu sufficient attention. Against ordinary opponents, his wind blades were enough to settle things, but against Huo Wu, he directly used Air Blade: Four-in-One.
In an instant, a massive cyan wind blade sliced through the air and flew straight at Huo Wu, reaching her in almost the blink of an eye.
"Third Soul Skill, Repelling Fire Ring!"
Mo Hui's wind blade attack startled Huo Wu. She hurriedly unleashed her third soul skill, Repelling Fire Ring. A brilliant ring of flames rapidly spread outward and collided with the Air Blade: Four-in-One Mo Hui had fired.
Crack, crack, crack—
Air Blade: Four-in-One only held out for a moment against Repelling Fire Ring before it was sent flying. Even Mo Hui himself was affected by the Repelling Fire Ring, his body blasted back more than ten meters.
"What an impressive move. It has no offensive power, but its control and defense are maxed out. And Air Blade: Four-in-One was actually knocked away so easily."
After being forced back, Mo Hui thought to himself.
Although Air Blade: Four-in-One was not particularly high-level, its power surpassed that of ordinary Thousand-Year Soul Skills. The fact that she could deflect it so easily showed that this was far from her limit.
Suddenly, Mo Hui became interested. He had not encountered such an interesting move in a long time.
His first soul ring immediately lit up. Communicating with Pidgeotto through his thoughts, he said, "Pidgeotto, use Air Blade: Twelve-in-One. I want to see where the limit of that Repelling Fire Ring lies!"
"Pidgeotto!"
A glint flashed in Pidgeotto's eyes as its wings flapped rapidly, firing twelve semicircular wind blades nearly a meter long.
In midair, the twelve wind blades continuously entwined and merged, eventually becoming a gigantic cyan wind blade over ten meters long. Carrying the momentum to cleave apart everything, it shot toward Huo Wu and arrived before her in the blink of an eye.
Everyone present was stunned by the sight. Compared to that massive wind blade, which seemed capable of even splitting open space itself, Huo Wu's figure appeared incomparably small.
"Not good!"
Huo Wu immediately used Repelling Fire Ring to defend herself. Yet before that enormous wind blade that seemed to cover the sky, her Repelling Fire Ring—which could withstand soul skills ten levels above her own—seemed to have lost its effect. No matter how much she increased her output, she could not stop it from advancing.
Just as despair appeared on Huo Wu's face and she prepared to accept her fate, a towering golden-red figure stood in front of her.
It was none other than her father, Huo Yangyan!
Seeing his daughter in danger, he ultimately could not restrain himself and personally entered the arena to interfere with the battle.
"It's only a match, yet this kid actually used such a killing move!"
Huo Yangyan muttered inwardly. The power of this massive wind blade already exceeded that of many Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skills. Even for him, taking it head-on would be troublesome.
Huo Yangyan also possessed Repelling Fire Ring. If he only wanted to block Mo Hui's Air Blade: Twelve-in-One, it would not be difficult for him.
But Repelling Fire Ring only deflected attacks; it did not erase them. A wind blade this large would be too dangerous if deflected. He had to take it head-on.
Just as Huo Yangyan was about to use his Martial Soul Avatar to receive Air Blade: Twelve-in-One, the attack—already only a few meters from him and about to strike him—began to rapidly split apart. In the end, it turned into specks of cyan light and dissipated before him and Huo Wu.
This sudden turn of events left everyone dumbfounded. It took the referee quite some time to recover before he announced, "The winner is Mo Hui!"
"Uh..."
Huo Yangyan's expression was rather complicated. If he had stepped in to block the attack, it would have shown that he had saved the situation in time. But now, the attack had dispersed on its own before he could act, leaving him awkwardly stuck between advancing and retreating.
Mo Hui saw his predicament and said, "Senior, you should take Senior Sister Huo Wu down. She seems to be feeling a little unwell."
"Oh, right!"
Knowing that Mo Hui was giving him an out, Huo Yangyan quickly took the hint, supported Huo Wu, and swiftly left the Soul Duel Platform.
