The Power of Haki

The two had already agreed on a strategy: Liu Mingyue would pin down Hu Liena, and once Sun Haoran finished off Han Bing, they would join forces to take down Hu Liena and secure victory in the duel.

Han Bing finally revealed his spirit, the Candy Spirit, with a single yellow spirit ring floating around him.

He activated his first spirit skill, manifesting a speed candy in each hand before offering them to Hu Liena.

"Hu Liena, this is the first skill of my Candy Spirit, Speed Candy. Eat it, and your speed will increase by two hundred percent for three minutes. Go ahead."

Hu Liena nodded, surprised that his support-type Candy Spirit was actually this powerful.

A two-hundred-percent increase—a tripling of her speed—would significantly boost the hit rate of her Charm Light.

She took the candy and popped it into her mouth, an instant sensation of cool refreshment washing over her.

Her entire body felt light, and the candy tasted delicious—sweet but not cloying.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Delicious, sweet but not cloying!"

At that moment, Liu Mingyue had already unleashed her first spirit skill, Vajra Fist, and charged forward with a punch.

Relying on the speed candy, Hu Liena dodged with a sidestep and immediately countered with her first spirit skill, Charm Light.

Liu Mingyue hurriedly squeezed her eyes shut.

On the other side, Sun Haoran was still charging in at high speed; he possessed an agility-attack spirit, and his speed was immense.

After consuming the speed candy, Han Bing's speed was now on par with, if not faster than, an agility-attack spirit master.

He frowned slightly, activated his Armament Haki, and combined it with Observation Haki to easily dodge Sun Haoran's attack.

Sun Haoran was shocked. He had assumed that if Han Bing didn't use his second spirit, he would be nothing more than a support spirit master who could be taken out in an instant.

He hadn't expected his support spirit to provide such a massive speed boost.

But so what? I haven't even used my spirit skills yet!

His first spirit ring lit up as he prepared to finish Han Bing quickly and go help Liu Mingyue deal with Hu Liena.

He shouted, "First spirit skill! Thrust! My thrust is incredibly fast. You're just a support spirit master; even with a speed boost, there's no way you can dodge this!"

Sun Haoran shot forward like a bolt of lightning, bearing down on Han Bing.

Han Bing used his Armament Haki to shield his arms and activated his Observation Haki. Combined with the boost from his speed candy, he sidestepped and dodged the attack perfectly.

Sun Haoran's face was filled with shock.

"This is impossible. How could your speed be this fast?"

Han Bing smiled. He didn't want the fight to end so quickly; this was a rare opportunity to train his Observation Haki. He hooked his finger, signaling for Sun Haoran to come again.

Sun Haoran gritted his teeth. Seeing Han Bing's arrogance, he launched another fierce attack.

Han Bing focused his Observation Haki, predicting every move clearly within his mind.

By now, Liu Mingyue was struggling to hold on. With the boost from the speed candy, she was being overwhelmed, and if things continued, she would be charmed by Hu Liena and lose the match.

Sun Haoran gritted his teeth, realizing he had to end the fight quickly.

Both of his spirit rings lit up as he unleashed two spirit skills simultaneously!

His speed increased further. Han Bing was thrilled; this was perfect for training his Observation Haki.

However, his stamina was draining, so it was time to end it.

He coated both hands in Armament Haki and, facing Sun Haoran's incoming Rending Claw, met him head-on with a punch.

Sun Haoran sneered in disdain.

"Han Bing, you're courting death. A support spirit master trying to go toe-to-toe with me? Be careful, or you'll shatter your own bones."

Despite his words, when they collided, a series of crisp sounds echoed—the sound of bones cracking.

A scream followed immediately!

"Ah! My hands!"

It was Sun Haoran's hands that had broken. Han Bing blinked, wondering if his Armament Haki was really that strong.

He had used his full strength, but his spirit power and age were both low.

Although he had consumed the Freeze-Freeze Fruit, which had certainly strengthened his physical body, it shouldn't have been enough to make a second-ring Great Spirit Master unable to even trade blows with him.

Han Bing swallowed hard. He reasoned that in the Douluo Continent, even hidden weapons could injure gods, so his Armament Haki shouldn't be that strange.

He had practiced his Armament Haki for so long, yet the only time he had used it was against four four-hundred-year-old spirit beasts.

If he could handle those beasts easily, then this fifteen-year-old boy's physical strength naturally couldn't compare to a spirit beast.

Exactly!

Haki reigned supreme over everything. Once he mastered top-tier Haki, he would be a human nuclear bomb.

Combined with his spirit and fruit abilities, the mere Douluo world would be nothing to worry about.

Han Bing smiled and retracted his Armament Haki.

On the other side, Liu Mingyue had been charmed by Hu Liena to the point of losing her sense of direction and was knocked off the stage.

Sun Haoran was on the ground, wailing as if his hands were broken.

Hu Liena was shocked by the sight and asked Han Bing, "Han Bing, what did you do to him?"

"Nothing much, I just gave him a punch. Who knew he was so fragile?"

Han Bing said it nonchalantly, while Hu Liena marveled at his strength.

Sun Haoran possessed an agility-attack beast spirit. Even if Han Bing's speed candy allowed him to keep up, how could a support spirit master's attack power possibly compare to his?

It seemed Han Bing's physical strength was not to be underestimated.

Sun Haoran lay on the ground in agony. He had used his spirit skills to attack, but hitting Han Bing's fist felt like striking solid copper and iron walls. It even carried a recoil effect that not only shattered his bones but also injured his internal organs.

Seeing Sun Haoran in pain, Han Bing stepped forward and reached out. "Sun Haoran, are you alright?"

Seeing Han Bing approach, Sun Haoran scrambled backward in terror.

"Don't come over here! You're a monster! I surrender, I'm not fighting anymore!"

Han Bing felt awkward.

Teacher Gao Lan rushed onto the stage, helped Sun Haoran up, and used her spirit power to reset his broken bones.

She then used her gentle spirit power to heal his injuries.

Sun Haoran thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Teacher Gao!"

"Go down and rest. Han Bing and Hu Liena win!"

Teacher Gao Lan then walked toward Han Bing. She had seen everything clearly.

His reaction time and speed could be attributed to the boost from his first spirit skill, Speed Candy.

But where did that terrifying power come from?

The sudden burst of spirit power just now—even though his rank was only twelve—carried a domineering, intimidating pressure the moment it appeared. What exactly was it?

Teacher Gao Lan looked at Han Bing, puzzled. Could this child really be a monstrous genius?

A twin spirit, and his spirit power was uniquely different as well.

Han Bing recalled the collision of their fists and felt a faint sensation that his Conqueror's Haki was on the verge of awakening.

If he had the chance, he would definitely have to test it out!
