It was practically common knowledge!

Auxiliary Spirit Masters basically had no combat ability, which was why they needed protection!

But now...

Si Rong and the others watched the young man plastered against a distant tree, and their mouths twitched in unison.

"Xiao Mie reacted too quickly."

Ling Ren fell silent for a moment before saying, "He used the force of that young man's charge to send him flying with that kick. That kind of reaction and strength isn't something a ten-year-old kid could possibly have. And he's only an Auxiliary Spirit Master. He clearly didn't use his Martial Spirit just now-he relied entirely on his body's own strength!"

Ling Ren knew he wouldn't have been able to react in time just then.

That kick might not have been very powerful, but his reaction had been incredibly fast, and the strike was fierce!

"He doesn't seem like an Auxiliary Spirit Master at all!" Ling Ren concluded.

"Most Auxiliary Spirit Masters don't fight Soul Beasts directly, but they still do some basic training to improve their physical fitness. But this is way too strong, isn't it?" Lao Hei rubbed his head, his eyes full of astonishment.

In a whole afternoon of fighting, neither Xiao Mie nor even Si Rong, the control-type one, had done much direct fighting with Soul Beasts.

Most of the time, Lao Hei had stood at the front and taken the brunt of the beating.

So the three of them had never seen Wang Feng fight. They'd always thought the kid was an exceptionally talented healing-type Spirit Master, and the sort who couldn't even lift a hand to catch a chicken.

Who could've guessed that Xiao Mie could not only catch a chicken with his bare hands, but even kick away a mad dog far stronger than one!

They were genuinely shaken to the core!

Just then, Wang Feng smiled and nodded.

"That's right. I'm an Auxiliary Spirit Master. My Martial Spirit is a healing one."

He sounded completely serious.

But Si Rong and the others were speechless.

The young man staggered out of the dent and shouted angrily, "Bullshit! You... How can an Auxiliary Spirit Master have such fast reflexes and so much strength? Do you think I'm an idiot, Li Ying?"

It wasn't as if there were no Auxiliary Spirit Masters at the academy. Even the ones with decent physical fitness couldn't possibly compare to him.

This kid looked so young. Either he was hiding his true strength, or he was hiding his Martial Spirit.

"What, Auxiliary Spirit Masters aren't allowed to be stronger than you?"

Wang Feng laughed. "Enough blabbering. If you can't pay compensation in Gold Soul Coins today, I'll make you understand that this world is full of malice toward you."

At that, the young man let out an angry roar.

"You're one arrogant brat!"

He was a Spirit Master on the verge of graduating and entering the Soul Elder realm. If a kid knocked him flat, it would be humiliating.

"I hadn't planned to use a Soul Skill on a brat like you. I've changed my mind!"

Li Ying sneered.

That kick had injured him, but not enough to rob him of his ability to fight.

Besides, he still had a Soul Skill he hadn't used. He'd simply thought it wasn't necessary.

Who knew this kid would have a trick up his sleeve!

"Soul Skill: Eagle Clone!"

Li Ying shouted. Two yellow Spirit Rings lit up, and a huge gray eagle appeared behind him.

Then Li Ying began swaying rapidly from side to side!

He looked as if he were repeatedly hopping left and right, in a bizarre manner!

Afterimage after afterimage appeared around him!

It was impossible to tell where he was!

"???"

Wang Feng stared at him.

Are you messing with me?

"Kid, seeing spots yet? Hahahaha..."

Li Ying's voice came from among the afterimages, brimming with arrogance!

"Xiao Mie, watch out!"

Ling Ren shouted, "His Soul Skill is bizarre and hard to defend against! Be extremely careful when he attacks!"

After saying this, Ling Ren's face darkened.

He couldn't make out the young man's figure as he hopped from side to side.

"Just watching him makes my head spin." Lao Hei stared at Li Ying, dizzy from the sight. "What kind of ridiculous Soul Skill is this? Is it meant to mess with the enemy's vision?"

"Probably."

Si Rong nodded as she watched Li Ying repeatedly hopping in place in the distance.

But just then-

Li Ying moved!

He charged at Wang Feng along an S-shaped path, trailing afterimages that made it impossible to tell which one was really him!

Then Li Ying began circling around Wang Feng.

It was as if he wanted to make him dizzy, and the afterimages around them grew more and more numerous.

"Not good! This Soul Skill is a real problem!" Ling Ren thought.

"I'm not gonna lie... my head's spinning just watching him." Lao Hei shook his head.

"Xiao Mie must have trained hard to build up his physical strength. He managed to dodge that move by the skin of his teeth just now, but he's still an Auxiliary Spirit Master," Si Rong said, frowning. "Not a Battle Soul Master. Once Li Ying uses his Soul Skill, Xiao Mie will have a hard time resisting."

Soul Skills were what separated the various types of Spirit Masters.

Wang Feng stood where he was, watching Li Ying whirl rapidly around him. He couldn't help finding it amusing. He hadn't used much force in that kick; he'd simply borrowed the force of Li Ying's charge to send him flying.

He hadn't expected this level-thirty Battle Soul Master to be so hard to kick.

And so flashy, too.

Just then, one figure suddenly burst out of the countless afterimages. Moving at almost blinding speed, it seized Wang Feng from behind.

"Let me show you the Soul Skill I just created: Cloud Sky Throw!"

Li Ying shouted. He grabbed Wang Feng tightly, spun wildly, and leaped dozens of meters into the air!

Si Rong and the others were stunned!

"Li Ying's two Soul Skills are so crafty!"

Ling Ren's heart tightened. "First, he uses Eagle Clone to blur the enemy's vision and senses. Then, while they're distracted, he uses his second Soul Skill! With Cloud Sky Throw, he's probably going to hold Xiao Mie in the air and slam him down. Look, Li Ying's hands are curled into claws, and his legs are locked tight around him. He looks just like a falcon holding prey as it flies through the sky... He's spinning at top speed, too, so Xiao Mie can't move at all..."

Ling Ren was an agility-type Battle Soul Master, and he saw through the Soul Skill's secret at a glance!

Hearing Ling Ren's analysis, Si Rong and Lao Hei were stunned.

"That's powerful! He could probably even pick up someone with Lao Hei's build with that move." Si Rong frowned deeply.

They were already nearly twenty meters up.

Falling from that height would leave even a level-thirty Battle Soul Master with strong physical fitness seeing stars.

"Kid, scared yet?"

Li Ying held Wang Feng tightly, his voice sinister.

"Terrified. But you'd better not be scared later, either."

"Hmph, what would I be scared of?"

Li Ying gave a cold snort.

By then, he had leaped to the highest point, and the two of them immediately began falling!

"Bye-bye, kid!"

Li Ying gave a mocking grin and was just about to release Wang Feng and leap away.

But as soon as Li Ying let go, he realized he was still falling.

When he looked, his face changed dramatically. "Kid, let go!"

Wang Feng had suddenly turned the tables and bound Li Ying's arms and legs.

"Let go?"

Wang Feng laughed twice. "Your Cloud Sky Throw is pretty interesting. Since you came up with the Soul Skill yourself, how can you not experience it firsthand?"
