Conqueror's Haki

Gao Lan nodded and said to Han Bing:

"Han Bing, your soul power is truly unique. Is it also because of your martial soul?"

Han Bing scratched his head. He thought to himself that since he had been practicing Haki, it had fused with his soul power, which was why his soul power was naturally different. Since that was a reasonable way to interpret it, he nodded:

"Teacher Gao, I suppose so!"

Gao Lan felt admiration, unable to believe how much of a shock this child would bring to the continent in the future.

"Alright, go down and rest!"

With that, Han Bing and Hu Liena stepped off the Soul Fighting Arena to rest.

Before long, the rest of the two-on-two duels concluded.

The winning teams were the team of Xie Yue and Yan, and the team of Zhang Yuan and Wu Tian.

Although Wang Dan had drawn Teacher Li Gang, once they were on the stage, Teacher Li Gang did not exert any effort at all, leaving her to fight two people by herself. She had grievances she could not voice.

However, what shocked them was that Hu Liena and Han Bing's team had actually won as well, and they had finished even before them.

Seeing Sun Haoran's pained expression, the other two teams could not help but go up and ask:

"Sun Haoran, why are you in such a sorry state? That Han Bing didn't even use his second martial soul, did he? It shouldn't be this miserable, right!"

Recalling the scene where his claws had snapped, Sun Haoran felt a lingering fear and hurriedly said:

"That Han Bing is a complete monster. You must be careful. He has innate divine strength; he's terrifying even without using his martial soul!"

"Really? Are you joking? He didn't use his second martial soul, and his first martial soul, Candy, is just an auxiliary type. Can an auxiliary martial soul have such great power?"

Sun Haoran shook his head:

"Wu Tian, you'll know in a moment. I just hope you don't draw them. It's too terrifying!"

Wu Tian and Zhang Yuan looked at Han Bing, who was sitting there leisurely, his eyes gazing into the distance as if lost in thought.

Han Bing, however, was thinking about Conqueror's Haki.

Indeed, that was exactly what the feeling had been. With that one punch, he hadn't just caused physical damage; Sun Haoran had clearly been suppressed. It just hadn't fully erupted, or else he would have been knocked unconscious instantly.

If that was the case, was he, Han Bing, also a man who possessed Conqueror's Haki?

Fine, he would test it out in the next match.

He clearly felt the fusion of Haki and soul power within his body; it seemed that his Conqueror's Haki had awakened along with it.

After a short rest, Teacher Gao Lan's large screen began to scroll, and the dueling teams were drawn:

Wu Tian and Zhang Yuan vs. Han Bing and Hu Liena!

Xie Yue and Yan had a bye and would duel the winners.

"It's over, we really drew them. Wu Tian, Zhang Yuan, you must be careful! That Han Bing is a monster!"

Sun Haoran was still warning them from the side.

Wu Tian and Zhang Yuan laughed, "Sun Haoran, I think you're just scared. A six-year-old soul master, what's there to be afraid of if he doesn't use his second martial soul? Just watch, we'll show you how we avenge you."

Seeing this, Han Bing thought it was the perfect opportunity to test his Conqueror's Haki on the two of them.

"Let's go, Han Bing, it's our turn again!"

Hu Liena said from the side. Both teams stepped onto the stage. Seeing that both sides were ready, Gao Lan said:

"Both sides prepare, battle begin!"

Wu Tian and Zhang Yuan instantly summoned their martial souls, which were a long saber and a Venomous Snake. Both were ordinary martial souls, though their innate soul power was decent enough to barely qualify for a high-level academy.

Their yellow soul rings flashed respectively.

Wu Tian gripped his long saber and said to the two of them:

"Han Bing, let me see just how strong you are! To make Sun Haoran so afraid of you—come on!"

At this moment, Hu Liena was still waiting for the boost from Han Bing's Speed Candy, but Han Bing hadn't moved at all!

She looked over, confused, and asked:

"Han Bing, what's wrong? Summon your martial soul!"

Han Bing's eyes were cold. He was brewing the Haki and soul power within his body. He didn't speak, his gaze as cold as frost, staring fixedly ahead.

Seeing this, the two of them didn't hesitate and launched their attack first.

Hu Liena hurriedly summoned her martial soul as well. Not knowing what Han Bing was doing, she could only move to defend first.

At that moment, a powerful aura erupted from within Han Bing. With a sudden roar, he released his soul power and Haki simultaneously.

That extremely domineering aura spread outward, surging forward.

In an instant, before Wu Tian and Zhang Yuan could even get close, they were struck head-on by an invisible pressure.

Their bodies froze abruptly, their eyes rolled back, and they instantly collapsed, unconscious.

Hu Liena also felt a domineering aura erupt beside her; she herself nearly fainted, but she recovered after a moment.

Everyone present had felt it.

Teacher Gao Lan's eyes widened instantly. That power just now?

Was it just a simple release of soul power?

How could it have such a massive deterrent force? He looked around and discovered that, except for Xie Yue, Yan, and Teacher Li Gang, everyone else, including Hu Liena on the stage, had been stunned by this aura and had fainted.

Xie Yue and Yan looked at each other; they had nearly been momentarily frightened by that power themselves.

Teacher Li Gang frowned even more deeply. If not for his high soul power, he feared he would have been intimidated by that force as well.

The entire Soul Fighting Arena fell silent.

Only Han Bing looked around calmly. It seemed his Conqueror's Haki had finally awakened.

Zhang Yuan, Wu Tian, Wang Dan, Sun Haoran, Lin Yuetian, and Zhao Feng were all unconscious.

Such Conqueror's Haki could only be resisted by those with top-tier martial souls or those whose soul power was significantly higher than his own.

Those few were all ordinary martial souls, and their soul power was only one level higher; it was not enough to withstand his Conqueror's Haki.

Seeing the air frozen, Han Bing scratched his head and said:

"Teacher Gao! Can you announce the result now?"

Only then did Teacher Gao recover from his shock. What kind of monster had Guang Ling Douluo taken in? A soul master of just over level ten, who could knock others unconscious simply by releasing his soul power? It was too terrifying.

"Han Bing and Hu Liena are the winners!"

Teacher Gao Lan pursed his lips and still asked:

"Han Bing, was that also an effect inherent to your martial soul?"

Han Bing took the opportunity to nod, pushing everything onto his martial soul, and said:

"When I awakened the Six-Pointed Ice Star martial soul, my body, bloodline, soul power, and aura all underwent changes. It comes with an innate deterrent force."

Seeing Han Bing speaking so cheerfully and dismissively.

Teacher Gao Lan swallowed hard, sighing inwardly. He had originally thought that Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue were already geniuses.

But he hadn't expected that this Han Bing was a genius among geniuses; those few were simply not worth mentioning in front of him.

He nodded: "Han Bing, no wonder Venerable Guang Ling values you so much. You are truly a marvel."

Hu Liena was stunned on the side. There was such a martial soul? It even changed one's temperament? That was too exaggerated!

Teacher Gao Lan helped the unconscious people up and woke them.

"Hey! Wu Tian, Zhang Yuan, wake up!"

The two woke up in a daze, only to find themselves off the stage. It seemed they had completely forgotten the scene that had just occurred:

"Teacher Gao? What happened? Weren't we dueling on the stage? How did we get down here?"

"Do you two remember nothing at all?"

The two touched their heads, looking confused, and said slowly:

"We only vaguely remember a giant invisible wave pressing down on us, then our eyes went black, and we don't remember anything else. Teacher Gao, what happened?"

Teacher Gao shook his head and immediately turned to look at Yan and Xie Yue, asking:

"Are you two still going to compete?"
