One Against Three

Xie Yue and Yan heard Gao Lan's question. They exchanged a glance, clenched their fists, and spoke in unison:

"Compare. If we don't compare, how will we know if we can't win?"

Han Bing's strength had already made Gao Lan realize that it would be difficult to contend with him unless one possessed a god-level spirit.

Seeing how determined the two were, Gao Lan nodded and asked Han Bing:

"Han Bing, do you need to rest for a moment?"

During the recent battle, Han Bing's Observation Haki had made leaps and bounds; this was far more effective than practicing aimlessly at home.

Sun Haoran and his partner had not been as formidable as Xie Yue and Yan. These two would certainly allow his Observation Haki to advance even further.

However, with the support of his Candy Spirit's first spirit skill combined with Observation Haki, it was almost impossible for the current Golden Generation to touch him.

It would be better to add Hu Liena to their side. If he faced all three, wouldn't that allow him to get even better training?

He replied:

"Teacher Gao Lan, I don't need to rest, but I do have one request!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Lan asked, "What is your request? Speak freely!"

Han Bing then spoke without reservation:

"I feel this is very unfair!"

Hearing this, Gao Lan subconsciously pushed up her glasses, while Yan and Xie Yue gritted their teeth. Facing a six-year-old spirit master with only twelve levels of spirit power was indeed somewhat unfair. Unable to refute this, they said:

"Han Bing, it is indeed unfair to you. We are both two-ring grand spirit masters, and you are only a one-ring spirit master. It is truly unfair. How about this: we won't use our second spirit skills, how does that sound?"

Yan swallowed hard as he spoke. He couldn't win against him even at full strength, let alone giving up a spirit skill. But to admit defeat just like that would be too shameful; even if they were to lose, it had to be on the Soul Fighting Arena.

Gao Lan did not speak, leaving them to discuss it among themselves.

Han Bing immediately shook his head and hurriedly said:

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I meant it is unfair to you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, staring at him blankly. It was clear that their spirit power was higher than his and their ages were greater than his; why would he say it was unfair to them? This was simply too condescending!

Even Hu Liena was momentarily dazed, gazing at him infatuatedly from the side.

Han Bing continued: "How about this: let Hu Liena join your team, and I will take on all three of you alone. I still won't use my second spirit, and I will seal my five senses to duel you. That should be fair to you, right!"

Han Bing said it nonchalantly, but Yan and Xie Yue were grinding their teeth in frustration.

Even Hu Liena was somewhat confused. One against three? And sealing his five senses? Even so, his reaction time and speed would drop significantly. Even if he were a peerless genius, it was impossible to beat them without using his second spirit!

"You! Han Bing, one against three? Are you serious?"

Xie Yue asked, somewhat annoyed.

However, if Hu Liena joined the team, they could use their Soul Fusion Skill.

This Han Bing was truly arrogant. Although Yan wanted to retort, Han Bing's strength gave him the qualifications to say such things.

The others also came to their senses, looking at the group with bewildered expressions.

"Teacher Gao Lan, is this allowed?"

Xie Yue asked Gao Lan, who pushed up her glasses and replied:

"Discuss it yourselves. As long as you have no doubts, I am fine with it!"

Hearing this, Xie Yue and Yan exchanged looks and nodded. Although it was a bit of an unearned victory, in the real Douluo Continent, who would talk to you about fairness?

Fine, Han Bing, since you are so arrogant, I will let you taste the bitterness of a crushing defeat.

Xie Yue reached out and pulled Hu Liena back, saying:

"Sister, come, let us fight Han Bing together!"

Hu Liena was somewhat reluctant, but seeing that the situation was already decided, she did not resist.

"Fine, since that is the case, both sides may go up to the Soul Fighting Arena and prepare for battle!"

Everyone watched the group intently. One against three?

Was Han Bing really that confident without using his second spirit?

Everyone looked forward to this battle.

Han Bing, meanwhile, was enjoying the thrill of his Haki improving. Only in battles like this could his Observation Haki and Armament Haki be enhanced.

Both sides took their positions!

Seeing this, Gao Lan gave the order:

"Both sides prepare, the battle begins!"

Immediately, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena summoned their spirits, and their spirit avatars manifested.

Han Bing also revealed his spirit, Candy, and used his first spirit skill to create three Speed Candies.

He intended to have a good time.

The Candy Spirit consumed very little spirit power, so with his current reserves, creating ten Speed Candies was more than enough.

The three surrounded Han Bing. Xie Yue, acting as captain, directed the battle:

"Han Bing, don't blame us. You brought this upon yourself."

They launched their attack first.

The corners of Han Bing's mouth turned up slightly. Fully focused, he unleashed his Observation Haki, predicting every move they made.

He then executed his counter-strategies, dodging with ease.

Xie Yue was shocked. His speed was not slow, yet he hadn't expected Han Bing to dodge so easily.

He remembered his sister saying that the first spirit skill of his Candy Spirit was to increase speed.

In that case, it wasn't strange. "Yan, let's pin him down and let Nana find the right moment to charm him!"

Yan nodded and immediately attacked, unleashing his first spirit skill, Magma Eruption.

Han Bing covered his hands with Armament Haki and blocked it effortlessly, then used his Observation Haki to predict and dodge Xie Yue's attack.

Hu Liena circled around the periphery, looking for an opening to charm him.

Han Bing, however, had sealed his five senses; practicing Observation Haki this way was truly more effective.

He was thoroughly enjoying this battle.

The three attacked repeatedly, coordinating their spirit skills, yet Han Bing managed to dodge them all by sheer coincidence.

Those watching from below were mesmerized; Han Bing was simply godlike.

He managed to dodge every single attack with finesse.

Time ticked by, and their spirit power was constantly depleting. Xie Yue and Hu Liena exchanged a glance.

The two nodded, intending to use their ultimate technique, their Soul Fusion Skill: Demon Charm!

They shouted in unison, releasing their spirits to merge into one!

"Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm!"

In an instant, the two merged into one, becoming a large, androgynous demon with flowing red hair.

It held a pair of enlarged Blood Moon Blades, and a red, hallucinogenic mist spread across the entire Soul Fighting Arena.

Han Bing curled his lips and ate a Speed Candy. Fantastic, this Soul Fusion Skill was perfect for practicing his Armament Haki.

Seeing this, Han Bing didn't dodge; instead, he charged forward.

He covered his hands in Armament Haki and threw a punch, clashing directly with the Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm, of Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

His momentum was not the least bit inferior as he used his fists to strike hard against the pair of enhanced Blood Moon Blades.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" echoed continuously throughout the arena—the sound of Han Bing's fists colliding with the Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm.

Han Bing was extremely excited, using his Armament Haki without reservation; he could finally fight boldly.

Yan, standing to the side, was completely stunned!
