On the second day of the competition, the team that got to rest was now the Qilin Team, which made Qi Ling wonder if the rest schedule was still based on the team rankings?
The pace of the qualifying rounds is much faster than that of the preliminary rounds. Without the noisy spectators and the many things that teams need to consider, everyone only needs to do their best to defeat the opponent in front of them. This allows the Soul Master to better demonstrate their strength.
Today's first match is also very exciting, as it's a battle between the Blazing Fire Academy and Shrek Academy. Huo Wu's long-awaited revenge match is finally coming to fruition.
However, after seeing this result, the spirits of the Blazing Fire Academy were already dampened, because Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had the attribute of fire immunity, which made it quite effective against the Blazing Fire Academy.
The final result was not unexpected. Facing the powerful Blazing Fire Academy, Tang San single-handedly defeated six people before having to withdraw from the competition due to exhaustion of his Soul Power.
Now, it's time for Huo Wu, the last member of the Blazing Fire Academy, to face off against Zhu Zhuqing, the next contestant from Shrek.
For Huo Wu, the outcome of this match is even more important than the match between the two teams, so the fact that the two can compete in their best condition suits her perfectly.
Moreover, both of them are currently at level 44 in Soul Power Level. Although Zhu Zhuqing possesses Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Huo Wu does not believe that she will necessarily lose to her.
"Just you wait and see, Zhu Zhuqing, I will prove that I, Huo Wu, am the real genius!" Huo Wu thought to herself as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing in front of her.
As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, both sides immediately entered a state of battle preparation. Just as everyone was wondering what kind of attack Huo Wu would use, a surprising scene occurred. As a Control System Soul Master, she actually took the initiative to run towards Zhu Zhuqing.
Most people were puzzled by Huo Wu's decision, but only a few could see Huo Wu intentions. Huo Wu had already experienced Zhu Zhuqing's speed firsthand, and staying in one place would only lead to her death. It was better to move around and disrupt the opponent's thinking.
Zhu Zhuqing had no thoughts about this. She was not bothered by Huo Wu's unusual behavior and continued to attack her as usual.
"I won't let you succeed! Repelling Fire Ring!" Huo Wu activated her Third Soul Skill, and instantly a halo of light spread towards Zhu Zhuqing.
The greatest uses of the Repelling Fire Ring are twofold: first, it can force back enemies around you; and second, it can disrupt their movements, putting them at a disadvantage.
Having succeeded in her attack, Huo Wu immediately summoned her Martial Soul, a peculiar shadow, followed by several fireballs launched towards Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing naturally wouldn't let Huo Wu's attack succeed. The instant the fireballs came, she transformed into a shadow and disappeared into the ground, dodging the countless attacks.
Seeing her attack dodged, Huo Wu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, but she didn't dare linger. She knew that Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Domain had a certain range, and as long as she avoided that range, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't be able to reappear at any time.
The reason Huo Wu was able to discover this problem was because she observed many of Zhu Zhuqing's matches and came to this conclusion. In order to defeat Zhu Zhuqing, she put in a lot of effort and thoroughly studied all of Zhu Zhuqing's displayed abilities.
As Huo Wu had predicted, after she retreated a certain distance, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer appear behind her and could only reveal her true form at a considerable distance from Huo Wu.
Then, Huo Wu launched a fireball attack at Zhu Zhuqing, but Zhu Zhuqing used her speed advantage to rush towards Huo Wu and successfully dodged all the fireball attacks.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing approaching, Huo Wu showed no panic. After casting her Repelling Fire Ring once more, a fire whip shot out from her right hand and Entanglement Zhu Zhuqing's body.
Entangled in the fire whip, Zhu Zhuqing immediately realized that she could not transform into a shadow to dodge the attack. Clearly, the fire whip was some kind of control skill that could prevent her from escaping.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhu Zhuqing was trapped by the fire whip, Huo Wu immediately unleashed a fireball and shot it towards Zhu Zhuqing.
But just as these fireballs were about to hit Zhu Zhuqing, a layer of amethyst shield suddenly appeared around her body, blocking the damage from the fireballs.
Although the shield has a certain limit to its strength, Huo Wu's fireballs were clearly not enough to break it.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing used her Soul Skill, Netherworld Hundred Claws, to successfully break Huo Wu's fire whip and escape from Huo Wu's restraints.
After realizing that her fireballs couldn't harm Zhu Zhuqing, Huo Wu immediately changed her strategy, gathering power within herself in preparation for unleashing a powerful Soul Skill to deal decisive damage to Zhu Zhuqing the next time she bound her.
However, all of this is contingent on Zhu Zhuqing being trapped by her fire whip once again, preventing her from turning into a shadow to avoid her attacks. Therefore, for this purpose, Huo Wu actually began to look forward to Zhu Zhuqing launching an attack on her.
Seeing Huo Wu's expression, everyone guessed her intentions. Although it was a clumsy method, it was very effective because Zhu Zhuqing's attack style dictated that she had to get close to Huo Wu, which inevitably led her into Huo Wu's trap.
"Hmm, let me see just how much you've improved lately, Zhu Zhuqing." Qi Ling looked at Zhu Zhuqing in the arena, thinking with great anticipation.
Faced with Huo Wu's blatant trap, Zhu Zhuqing revealed a faint smile, then glanced at Qi Ling Qi Ling, as if to say, "Watch closely what I'm about to do, because that's proof that I've become stronger specifically for you."
Then, Zhu Zhuqing rushed towards Huo Wu, looking exactly the same as before, without any change.
Huo Wu was overjoyed. Once Zhu Zhuqing was close enough to her, she immediately used the Repelling Fire Ring and then prepared to unleash the Fire Whip to launch a final attack on Zhu Zhuqing.
But then, something surprising happened: Zhu Zhuqing's body simply passed through the range of the Repelling Fire Ring without any repulsion effect!
Everyone who witnessed this scene was confused and didn't understand what had happened. Huo Wu even rubbed her eyes, completely baffled as to why the Repelling Fire Ring hadn't worked.
Only Qi Ling knew what had just happened. In the instant the Repelling Fire Ring reached her, Zhu Zhuqing activated one of her Third Soul Skill: Hell Rush!
This Soul Skill allows Zhu Zhuqing to instantly launch a dash during the charge, and hide herself in a shadowy substance to avoid all damage and become untargetable.
This means that during this sprint, she would have an extremely brief period of invincibility, and Zhu Zhuqing seized this opportunity and cleverly used it to dodge the attack of the Repelling Fire Ring.
