On the martial arts stage, Wu Ming suddenly stopped. Seeing that she had stopped attacking him, Chu Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, they also looked in Cao Yu's direction, Wu Ming said with some surprise, "Oh, you two are here too!"
" Cao Yu, you and I are of the same cultivation level, why don't you come up and fight? Let's see who's stronger."
As he spoke, Wu Ming rubbed his hands together and looked at Cao Yu with anticipation.
After all, both she and Cao Yu possessed the cultivation level of Seven-Ring Soul Sage, which aroused Wu Ming's competitive spirit.
I just happened to run into him at the Inner Court's martial arts arena today, so I can't let this great opportunity for a sparring match slip by.
"Senior Wu Ming, why don't you continue your sparring with Chu Qingtian?"
"This guy only cares about dodging; it's not satisfying to fight him at all."
Chu Qingtian could only scratch his head with a wry smile. He didn't want to dodge either, but Wu Ming's attack methods were just too fierce.
"Brother Cao, please help me out of this predicament, I really can't win."
Wu Ming also said, " Cao Yu, if you're a man, come up and fight me!"
"Alright." The next second, Cao Yu jumped onto the martial arts stage. Seeing this, Chu Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Cao, thank you for getting me out of trouble!" He quickly patted Cao Yu's shoulder and jumped off the stage.
Wang Yan then stepped forward and said to the two people standing on the platform, "Then I will act as the referee. But you two remember, stop when you've made your point."
"Understood, Teacher Wang Yan."
"Okay, ready to begin!"
The two stood at opposite ends of the training platform, following Teacher Wang Yan's command.
Wu Ming touched the ground with her toes and leaped out, the golden-red Golden Crow True Fire instantly rising up, the intense flames illuminating the entire area.
Then a pair of fiery red wings unfurled from her back. This was not one of her Soul Skill, but rather the flight talent inherent in her Martial Soul.
Cao Yu, not to be outdone, used Shadow Evasion, his First Soul Skill.
His speed instantly became several times faster than Wu Ming's.
"You're also a speed-attack Battle Soul Master?" Wu Ming was somewhat shocked, after all, Chu Qingtian, whom she had her eye on, was also Soul Master of the same type as her, but the difference in strength between the two was quite obvious.
"Yes and no." Cao Yu's ambiguous answer left Wu Ming somewhat puzzled.
Before she could ask any more questions, Cao Yu had already quietly arrived.
Wu Ming's third Soul Ring lit up immediately, followed by the fiery red Golden Crow True Fire spreading all over her body, the scorching flames making the entire training ground glow with a bright red light.
The heatwave around them caused the onlookers to involuntarily take a few steps back.
Reflected in the firelight, Cao Yu's entire body was also bathed in the red flames, and the scorching heat caused him to involuntarily distance himself from Wu Ming.
But the next second, the flames on Wu Ming's body began to shrink, and she shouted, "Explode!"
In an instant, the Golden Crow True Fire all over her body formed a huge fireball, and with a "boom," the fireball suddenly exploded.
This is her third Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Explosion!
When surrounded or attacked by enemies, a Soul Skill can be used to ignite the Golden Crow True Fire from all directions, generating powerful destructive force.
Those watching from the sidelines were somewhat worried. Wang Yan couldn't help but ask, "Could Cao Yu be injured?"
Not only him, but many people were worried for Cao Yu.
As the flames dissipated, Cao Yu's figure gradually emerged. His entire body was covered in black gas, with the Golden Crow True Fire spreading across it before extinguishing itself.
Wu Ming, standing not far away, was also surprised. Logically speaking, Cao Yu should have been injured at some point, given how close they were, but he was still unharmed.
Just now, Cao Yu almost fell for her trick, but luckily he used his third Soul Skill, Shadow Barrier, in time.
His entire body was covered by Soul Power, forming a protective layer of shadow flow that amplified his defense. Otherwise, Wu Ming's Soul Skill just now would have definitely caused him a level one burn, which is already the most severe level.
At worst, all the clothes would be burned to ashes.
Cao Yu simply couldn't imagine himself standing naked on the stage.
If so many people saw it, I'd be dead on the spot.
After all, the temperature of the Golden Crow True Fire is simply too high.
Of course, Cao Yu could also use his Ice Martial Soul to deal with her, but that would be too quick a victory and wouldn't allow him to improve his combat experience.
After all, the extreme cold has an attribute advantage over Wu Ming's Golden Crow True Fire Martial Soul.
It could even suppress Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire, let alone Wu Ming's.
" Shadow Stream Shattered Stars, Blade of Shadow!"
Cao Yu's third and fourth Soul Ring Soul Ring lit up one after another.
His third Soul Skill, Shadow Stream Shattered Stars, greatly amplified his damage and power.
His fourth Martial Soul, Blade of Shadow, formed curved, all-black scimitars on both sides of his arms.
The surrounding area was Entanglement black air currents, making it appear somewhat eerie.
However, the sharpness of these two curved blades should not be underestimated. Although they cannot compare to Ji Juechen's black longsword, which is Level 8 Soul Tool, they are truly incomparable.
However, it is equivalent to the sharpness of a level seven soul-guided sword.
Suddenly, Wu Ming clasped her hands together, and then the first Soul Ring on her body lit up.
A golden-red pillar of fire instantly shot out from her hands, with a cross-sectional diameter of one meter.
Wu Ming's First Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Blast!
A blazing golden-red pillar of fire shot towards Cao Yu like a laser beam.
Cao Yu quickly raised his arms, and the Blade of Shadow clashed with the golden-red pillar of fire.
The Golden Crow True Fire split from both sides of the blade, and Cao Yu curled up to protect himself.
"This can't go on forever." The temperature was ridiculously high, and Cao Yu couldn't help but secretly use his Ice Martial Soul to cool himself down.
Then his body began to slowly disappear, vanishing in the blink of an eye, as if he had been swallowed up by the Golden Crow True Fire.
The spectators also wore anxious and tense expressions.
"Won't it be burned to ashes?" Chu Qingtian began to regret his actions. If Brother Cao really was burned to ashes, how could he explain it to Cao Yu's girlfriends?
"Look, Cao Yu has somehow gotten behind Wu Ming."
In the blink of an eye, Wang Yan was surprised to find that there was suddenly another person behind Wu Ming.
Everyone looked in that direction, Xiao Xiao asked in surprise, "How did Brother Yu do that?"
Han Ruoruo explained, "I just saw his Seventh Soul Ring light up; it's Soul Skill similar to teleportation?"
That's right, this is Cao Yu's Shadow Stream Avatar, which can appear from behind the opponent's shadow.
Unless the opponent is a ghost or something similar, or the environment is completely dark, this ability is basically unbeatable.
Han Ruoruo, worthy of being Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, observed the entire battle between the two with great care.
They don't miss the slightest movement.
The previous chapter was censored for a long time; several hundred words about what happened between Wang Dong'er and the protagonist that night were cut. It was only released after revisions. Now it's getting stricter and stricter! I'm so sad! Waaaaah~
(So I'm sorry I wasn't on time today.)
