Another Battle with Xiao Wu

Facing Xiao Wu's challenge, Han Xing replied perfunctorily:

"Is that so... In that case, let's talk about it after class."

Opportunities to fight Xiao Wu were few and far between, so he naturally wanted to stall for a while.

If he defeated her this time but failed to capture the spotlight, he might not get another chance later.

"Remember, don't you dare leave after school."

Xiao Wu glared fiercely at Han Xing before returning to her seat.

Time passed quickly, and the end of the school day arrived.

Han Xing did not leave the classroom immediately; instead, he opened the barrage panel first.

Seeing the confirmation in the comments that Tang San had already returned to Notting Academy, he stood up and headed toward the training grounds.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu naturally followed him, unable to contain her impatience.

Stepping onto the arena, Xiao Wu released her martial soul, the century-old soul ring on her body drawing gasps of surprise from the other students.

Hearing these sounds, a smug smile immediately appeared on Xiao Wu's face.

"Hurry up and get up here, let Big Sister Xiao Wu give you a good beating."

A crowd of onlookers had already gathered around the arena, making the scene look incredibly lively.

Clearly, this was the result of Xiao Wu deliberately having the work-study students spread the word before school ended.

Otherwise, a simple duel between two people wouldn't have drawn such a large crowd.

It doesn't matter, though. The more people who show up, the higher the chance of getting screen time.

Han Xing stepped onto the arena, stretched his body, and then looked at Xiao Wu.

"Come on, let me see what kind of progress you've made."

The moment Han Xing finished speaking, the tone of the barrage changed.

[Yo, Tang San just went to the Soul Hunting Forest, and Han Xing and Xiao Wu are already fighting again?]

[Xiao Wu seems to have broken through; she's got a yellow century-old soul ring circling her now.]

[This Han Xing is always fighting Xiao Wu. I'm starting to doubt if she's even the female lead.]

[What kind of female lead spends every day looking for trouble with other men? Shouldn't she be bothering Tang San?]

[How could she not be the female lead? They sleep in the same room, even if they're young and nothing substantial has happened yet.]

[It's a revenge match, or maybe just a chance for Tang San to show off.]

[After all, hasn't Tang San already obtained his soul ring? Once you get a soul ring, you've got to have a chance to show it off, right?]

Watching the content on the barrage, Han Xing felt a bit helpless.

They were the protagonists, after all. Once a conflict arose, even if Xiao Wu was the one who started it, most people would subconsciously side with them.

Han Xing felt a surge of irritation.

Looking at Xiao Wu, who had already performed her martial soul possession, his gaze gradually turned cold.

"If you still can't beat me this time, there won't be a next time," Han Xing said coldly.

"Although defeating you is easy, having a fly buzzing in my ear every single day is quite annoying."

"What did you say!" Hearing Han Xing call her a fly, Xiao Wu's expression immediately turned fierce.

"You're the fly! Besides, you won't win this time."

"You only won last time because you relied on your higher soul power level to take advantage of me."

Facing Xiao Wu's sophistry, Han Xing ignored her.

"Enough talk. Let's start; I want to get this over with."

"Han Xing, level fourteen, one-ring assault-type soul master, martial soul: Three-Legged Golden Crow!"

Han Xing gave a cold shout. As the Golden Crow possessed him, golden Sun True Fire immediately surged across his body.

[Holy crap, what a sigma male.]

[I have to say, I really love this performance from Han Xing.]

[By the way, is Han Xing's martial soul, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, really that high-tier?]

[It's the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the divine beast representing the incarnation of the sun. No wonder he's so badass.]

[Now that you mention it, I just realized Tang San's martial soul is grass and Xiao Wu's is a rabbit. Compared to him, they've already lost in terms of aura.]

[To the person above, don't forget Tang San has the Clear Sky Hammer. With a name like 'Clear Sky,' its prestige is no lower than the Three-Legged Golden Crow's.]

[True. If you analyze it carefully, Tang San has the Clear Sky Hammer and is a twin-martial soul user; his potential is still higher than Han Xing's.]

[It's just that Tang San isn't using his second martial soul right now, focusing mainly on his first, so it's not obvious yet.]

Amidst the audience's discussions, Han Xing and Xiao Wu commenced their battle.

"First Soul Skill, Dawn Light Fire Feather!"

Han Xing took the initiative to activate his soul skill, forming a pair of golden flame wings behind his back.

Knowing full well that Xiao Wu's first soul skill was Waist Bow, Han Xing was naturally not foolish enough to close the distance.

Watching Xiao Wu charge straight at him, Han Xing flapped his wings, and two flaming feathers shot out.

Han Xing had deliberately tested it; the wings behind his back could fire a maximum of fourteen flaming feathers at once.

The quantity was exactly the same as his soul power level.

Therefore, during combat, he would intentionally pace his use of the flaming feathers.

As long as he did not immediately exhaust the soul power on his wings, he could slowly replenish them with soul power to maintain the wings without them dissipating.

"Again!"

Seeing Han Xing attack from a distance just like last time, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and kicked toward the two incoming feathers.

However, the power of the flaming feathers was not something the fireballs Han Xing had formed last time could compare to.

The moment Xiao Wu's leg kicked the feather, a large hole was burned through her pants.

The Sun True Fire took the opportunity to cling to Xiao Wu, spreading toward her upper body.

"Damn it, the power of this flame is much stronger than last time."

Xiao Wu hurriedly dodged and tried to extinguish the flames by rolling on the ground.

But this was completely useless.

If the Sun True Fire could be extinguished so easily, it wouldn't be called Sun True Fire.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Xiao Wu suddenly grabbed her pant leg and tore it off with force, ripping away the burning fabric.

"So painful!"

Looking at the burn scar on her lower leg, Xiao Wu couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Watching the wincing Xiao Wu, Han Xing would not allow his opponent to rest there.

After all, the other party was not his friend, so there was no need to show mercy when fighting.

Two more flaming feathers shot out, bearing down on Xiao Wu before she could move.

"Trying this trick again?"

Xiao Wu hurriedly rolled away, dodging Han Xing's attack.

She quickly scanned her surroundings, pondering ways to get close.

She constantly darted and maneuvered across the arena, dodging attacks while moving step by step toward Han Xing.

She wants to use Waist Bow after closing the distance? Han Xing sneered inwardly.

Previously, he hadn't wanted to engage in close combat with Xiao Wu, but now that both of her legs had been burned, she might not necessarily have the advantage in close quarters.

Han Xing continued to play the fool, standing in place and attacking, letting Xiao Wu close in on him.

When the distance between the two was less than two meters, Han Xing finally began to move.

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu shouted, supporting herself with her hands as she locked her legs toward Han Xing's neck.

However, at that very moment, Han Xing's hands formed claws, directly grabbing Xiao Wu's lower legs.

Using Dawn Fire Claw Lock Tendon Seal Pulse, the Sun True Fire seeped into her wounds, sealing the flow of her soul power.
