The two had already agreed on a plan: Liu Mingyue would hold Hu Liena off, while Sun Haoran dealt with Han Bing. Then they would team up to take Hu Liena down and win the duel.
Han Bing had finally revealed his Martial Soul: a Candy Spirit, with a Yellow Soul Ring floating around him.
He used his first Soul Skill, producing a Speed Candy in each hand and handing them to Hu Liena!
"Hu Liena, this is the first Soul Skill of my Candy Spirit, Speed Candy. After you eat it, your speed will increase by two hundred percent for three minutes. Hurry and eat it."
Hu Liena nodded. So the support provided by his support-type Candy Spirit was powerful too.
A two-hundred-percent increase in speed—twice as fast—would greatly improve her chances of landing her Charm Light.
She took the candy and popped it into her mouth. A cool, refreshing sensation instantly welled up inside her.
Her whole body felt light as a feather, and the candy tasted wonderful, sweet without being cloying.
She couldn't help exclaiming, "Delicious, sweet without being cloying!"
By then, Liu Mingyue had already used her first Soul Skill, Vajra Fist, and thrown a punch at her.
With the help of the Speed Candy, Hu Liena sidestepped and dodged it. Then her eyes shone with Charm Light as she unleashed her first Soul Skill.
Liu Mingyue hurriedly shut her eyes.
Meanwhile, Sun Haoran was still charging at full speed. His Martial Soul belonged to the Agility Attack System, and he was incredibly fast.
After eating the Speed Candy, Han Bing's speed was now about the same as someone from the Agility Attack System, or even a little faster.
He furrowed his brows and used Armament Haki. With Observation Haki as well, he easily dodged Sun Haoran's attack.
Sun Haoran was shocked. Han Bing wasn't even using his Second Martial Soul. With nothing but a support-type Martial Soul, he should have been easy to take down in a flash.
He hadn't expected Han Bing's support-type Martial Soul to increase his speed so much.
So what? I haven't even used a Soul Skill yet!
Sun Haoran's first Soul Ring lit up. He planned to finish Han Bing quickly, then help Liu Mingyue deal with Hu Liena.
He shouted, "First Soul Skill! Thrust! My Thrust is incredibly fast. You're only a support Soul Master. Even if you can increase your speed, you won't be able to dodge this!"
Sun Haoran shot forward like a bolt of lightning, charging straight at Han Bing.
Han Bing covered both arms with Armament Haki and used Observation Haki. With the speed boost from the Speed Candy, he sidestepped and just barely dodged the attack.
Sun Haoran stared at him in disbelief!
"That's impossible! How can you be this fast?"
Han Bing smiled. He didn't want to end the fight so soon; this was a rare chance to train his Observation Haki. So he beckoned with a finger, inviting Sun Haoran to come again.
Sun Haoran gritted his teeth. Seeing Han Bing act so cocky, he launched another fierce attack.
Han Bing focused his Observation Haki and predicted every strike, each one appearing clearly in his mind.
By now, Liu Mingyue was almost at her limit. With the boost from the Speed Candy, Hu Liena's Charm Light was about to ensnare her, and she would lose the match.
Sun Haoran gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to end the fight quickly.
Both his Soul Rings lit up at once, and he unleashed two Soul Skills!
His speed kept increasing, and Han Bing was thrilled. Perfect! This will make my Observation Haki improve even faster.
But he had already used up a lot of stamina. It was time to end the fight.
Han Bing coated both fists in Armament Haki. As Sun Haoran's Rending Claw came at him, he punched straight into it.
Sun Haoran sneered at the sight.
"Han Bing, you're asking for it. You're a support Soul Master, and you think you can trade blows with me? You'd better watch out, or I'll shatter every bone in your body."
Despite his words, when the two clashed, several crisp cracks rang out—the sound of bones breaking.
Then came a scream!
"Argh! My hands!"
But it was Sun Haoran's hands. Han Bing froze. Is my Armament Haki really this powerful?
He had indeed thrown the punch with all his strength, but his Soul Power was low, and he was young too.
He had eaten the Freeze-Freeze Fruit, so his body was definitely stronger than an ordinary person's.
But surely a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster should be able to trade punches with me?
Han Bing swallowed and thought it over. On Douluo Continent, even Hidden Weapons can injure gods. So it's no surprise my Armament Haki can do this.
He had trained his Armament Haki for so long, but had only ever used it once before, against four four-hundred-year-old Soul Beasts.
He had handled those four-hundred-year-old Soul Beasts with ease. Naturally, a fifteen-year-old boy's physical strength couldn't compare to theirs.
Just as I thought!
Haki stands above everything. Once I master the highest level of Haki, won't I be a human-shaped nuclear bomb?
And with my Martial Soul and Devil Fruit powers on top of that, what could the mere Douluo World possibly do to me?
Han Bing smiled and let his Armament Haki fade.
Meanwhile, Hu Liena had completely disoriented Liu Mingyue with her Charm Light and sent her tumbling off the stage.
Sun Haoran's hands hung as if broken as he writhed on the ground, wailing.
Hu Liena was startled by the sight and asked Han Bing, "Han Bing, what did you do to him?"
"Nothing. I just punched him. Who knew he'd be so fragile?"
Han Bing said it so casually that Hu Liena couldn't help marveling at his strength.
Sun Haoran had an Agility Attack-type Beast Martial Soul. Even if the Speed Candy let you keep up with his speed, how could a support Soul Master possibly match his attack power?
It seemed Han Bing's physical strength was no ordinary thing.
Sun Haoran lay on the ground in agony. He had used his Soul Skills to attack Han Bing.
Yet Han Bing's fist had felt like striking a wall of solid iron, and it had even bounced back with a shock. Not only had his bones broken, but his internal organs were injured too.
Seeing Sun Haoran in such pain, Han Bing walked over and held out a hand.
"Sun Haoran, are you all right?"
As soon as Sun Haoran saw Han Bing approach, he scrambled backward in terror!
"Don't come any closer! You're a monster! I give up. I'm not fighting anymore!"
Han Bing was at a loss for words!
Teacher Gao Lan hurried onto the stage and helped Sun Haoran up. Then she used her Soul Power to set his broken hands back in place.
After that, she used her gentle Soul Power to heal Sun Haoran's injuries.
Sun Haoran thanked her repeatedly. "Thank you, Teacher Gao!"
"Go rest. Han Bing and Hu Liena win!"
Then Teacher Gao Lan walked over to Han Bing. She had seen the whole thing clearly.
His reflexes and speed could be explained by the boost from his support-type Candy Spirit's first Soul Skill, Speed Candy.
But where had that terrifying strength come from?
That sudden burst of Soul Power just now—his Soul Power Level was only twelve, yet that domineering power carried an intimidating presence the moment it appeared. What was it?
Teacher Gao Lan looked at Han Bing, puzzled. Could this child really be a monstrous genius?
Twin Martial Souls, and even his Soul Power is strangely different.
Han Bing thought back to the clash of fists. He had faintly sensed that his Conqueror's Haki seemed on the verge of Awakening.
If I get the chance, I have to give it a try!
