Two-on-Two

After a long stretch of nonsense and flirtatious winks, Hu Liena had been teasing him for quite a while.

Yet, she only felt a cold aura radiating toward her.

She was shocked. So much time had passed; why hadn't Han Bing said a single word?

Could it be that he had already been charmed into a stupor?

Hu Liena had unleashed her charm for a full five minutes, and by now, her soul power was nearly exhausted.

She slowly deactivated her two soul skills and waited for the pink mist to dissipate.

What she saw was a Han Bing made of ice.

Han Bing stood frozen solid like a sculpture before her eyes, his entire being sealed away by ice, blocking all of her sensory input.

That was why all of Hu Liena's previous attempts—whether her first soul skill, Fox Eye Charm, or her second soul skill, Fox Charm—had been completely ineffective against him.

Because his five senses were entirely sealed by ice, he could neither see nor feel her.

However, his Observation Haki was monitoring everything at every moment.

Seeing this, Hu Liena was stunned:

"Han Bing, you actually froze yourself? Are you trying to commit suicide?"

The crowd below had also regained their senses, and seeing this scene, they all found it unbelievable.

Hu Liena noticed that Han Bing hadn't just frozen himself; the ice beneath his feet was spreading, and the entire No. 1 Soul Fighting Arena was about to be frozen over again.

With no other options and her charm completely useless, Hu Liena huffed:

"What a cold-hearted person."

Seeing the ice rushing toward her, ready to freeze her in place, Hu Liena stumbled in fear and hurriedly shouted:

"I lose! I surrender!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of shattering ice, and Han Bing broke free.

He looked at Hu Liena and immediately reached out his hand, intending to pull her up!

Seeing this, Hu Liena took Han Bing's hand, stood up, and said immediately:

"Thank you, Han Bing!"

Han Bing gave a faint smile: "You're welcome. Your charm is indeed quite tricky."

Hu Liena smiled lightly; since she had lost, she said nothing more.

Han Bing walked off the stage. Today's many battles had helped him familiarize himself with the use of his fruit, and the only thing he needed to guard against was soul masters like Hu Liena who could inflict mental damage.

Everything else was not a problem.

However, he still had a trump card he hadn't used yet—he hadn't even touched upon his Haki.

After all, Haki reigned supreme over everything. If his Observation Haki were just a little stronger, he could face Hu Liena's charm head-on.

Gao Lan pushed up her glasses and announced:

"Alright, now everyone understands that there is always someone better, right? Han Bing, who just joined, is the first-place winner of this one-on-one. Hu Liena and Xie Yue, do you two want to continue competing for second place?"

They shook their heads; as siblings, they didn't continue to fight.

Seeing this, Xie Yue wondered if he and his sister used their Soul Fusion Skill, would they be able to break through Han Bing's elementalization?

With that in mind, he wanted to try it out in the upcoming two-on-two and regain some face against Han Bing.

But just as he was about to walk over to his sister, he noticed Hu Liena staring straight at Han Bing, her eyes filled with admiration. He heard her take the initiative to greet Han Bing:

"Han Bing, can I team up with you for the next two-on-two?"

Han Bing didn't really mind, so he nodded.

This left Xie Yue feeling quite helpless, but when the others heard this, they immediately protested:

"How are we supposed to play like this? If you two team up, how do we compete? One charms the whole field, the other freezes the whole field—shouldn't we just surrender now?"

Sun Haoran spread his hands and said helplessly.

The others nodded in agreement.

But Hu Liena huffed and pouted:

"What? I already said, whoever beats me, I'll team up with them. What, you're not satisfied? If you're not satisfied, fight me again! I'm ready anytime!"

The crowd had no rebuttal, and Teacher Gao Lan let everyone rest for half an hour before starting the two-on-two duels.

By now, Han Bing also felt that if things continued like this, he would just steamroll everyone. He wanted to practice his Haki, so he said to the group:

"How about this: I won't use my second spirit. That should be fine, right!"

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. Sun Haoran said on the spot:

"Alright, Han Bing, you said it yourself—you won't use your second spirit. Everyone heard that, right!"

Everyone had heard it, and Sun Haoran went up to Teacher Gao Lan and said:

"Teacher Gao, Han Bing said he won't use his second spirit for the two-on-two. You don't object to that, do you!"

Gao Lan stood there sternly and said calmly: "If he is willing, I have no objections!"

"Great, that's perfect! Brother Yan, let's team up. We have to teach this Han Bing a lesson!"

But Yan shook his head and said: "I've already teamed up with Xie Yue."

This forced Sun Haoran to find someone else.

He thought to himself that without the second spirit, just a Candy Spirit would be easy to defeat.

But Han Bing intended to test his Haki. Top-tier Haki was the most powerful, especially when combined with his fruit abilities.

He had been training his Haki but had never used it, and on the battlefield, his Observation Haki could also be greatly improved.

This was the best Haki training for him.

Hu Liena was a bit confused and asked:

"Han Bing, your second spirit is so powerful, why not use it!"

Han Bing smiled and said: "Actually, I have something even more powerful!"

Hu Liena was baffled, pursing her lips as she followed behind Han Bing.

By now, everyone had formed their teams and was waiting for Teacher Gao Lan to draw lots:

"Alright, now that the teams are set, come to the big screen for the draw!"

After a moment, the draw was complete. Since there was one person left over, he would continue to have a guided battle with Teacher Li Gang.

Teaming up with him was essentially relying on a powerhouse.

The big screen displayed:

Han Bing, Hu Liena vs. Sun Haoran, Liu Mingyue (No. 1 Soul Fighting Arena)

Yan, Xie Yue vs. Lin Yuetian, Zhao Feng (No. 2 Soul Fighting Arena)

Zhang Yuan, Wu Tian vs. Wang Dan, Teacher Li Gang (No. 3 Soul Fighting Arena)

Wang Dan had been fighting Teacher Li Gang one-on-one, and now that he was teamed up with him, he was extremely excited.

He clasped his hands together: "Great, my luck is pretty good, I'm on a team with Teacher Li Gang!"

But Teacher Li Gang patted Wang Dan on the shoulder and said:

"Wang Dan, do your best!"

The implication was that since he had been drawn, he wouldn't make a move unless absolutely necessary; after all, this was training for the students, and he was just there to make up the numbers.

Wang Dan still thought he had latched onto a powerhouse.

The rules remained the same. After the draw was finished, everyone walked to their respective Soul Fighting Arenas.

Teacher Gao Lan saw that everyone was ready and said:

"Everyone, the battle begins in three seconds."

Three seconds passed, and everyone revealed their spirits.

On the No. 1 Soul Fighting Arena!

Sun Haoran was very happy to have drawn Han Bing's team. He pointed at the two of them and said:

"Han Bing, Nana, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you don't use your second spirit, you're just a regular support spirit. Let's see how you beat me! Spirit Possession!"

Gale Leopard possession, and his teammate, Liu Mingyue, also activated her spirit possession.

Her spirit was a Diamond Bear, and the battle was about to break out at any moment!
