Finally, everyone had a chance to rest, and they all got busy with their own things. Ma Hongjun rushed off to the Red Mansion, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong went shopping in the city, Oscar and Dai Mubai didn't know what they were going to do in the city, Tang San was engrossed in assembling his Hidden Weapon in his warehouse.
Zhu Zhuqing then approached Qi Ling Qi Ling, who smiled and said to her, "Are you ready? Today is your perfect day for revenge."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently, looking determined. Today was the day she challenged Zhao Lei to a duel, and she wanted to see if she had made any progress in the past three months.
Although Zhu Zhuqing was undoubtedly the most hardworking and made remarkable progress during these three months, these achievements would ultimately be nothing more than empty talk if they could not be tested in real combat.
So Qi Ling took Zhu Zhuqing to the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City to register for a duel. Their opponent was Zhao Lei, Silver Soul Fighter.
When Zhao Lei saw Qi Ling reappear, he was so moved he almost cried. He looked at Qi Ling with a pained expression and said, "Boss, after this fight, can you let me go? I promise I'll never hurt anyone again!"
"Don't worry, this is the last time. As long as you compete seriously, I won't punish you again, regardless of winning or losing," Qi Ling said.
"Furthermore, if you can defeat Zhu Zhuqing, to compensate for your losses during this period, I will give you an extra Spirit Ascension Pill and a Soul Tool. Are you satisfied now?"
These two items were undoubtedly priceless treasures. Zhao Lei nodded happily and said, "Very satisfied, very satisfied. Thank you for your generous gift, boss!"
"Sigh, you haven't even fought Zhu Zhuqing yet, how can you be so confident you can win?" Qi Ling said. " Zhu Zhuqing has made great progress in the past three months, and she came here specifically to get revenge on you."
Zhao Lei scoffed, "How strong could she have become in just three months? Beating me is a pipe dream."
" Zhu Zhuqing, what do you think about him saying that about you?" Qi Ling asked Zhu Zhuqing beside her.
Zhu Zhuqing made no comment and walked directly to the preparation area. This silent action was undoubtedly her best attitude.
As Zhao Lei walked towards the preparation area, he said to Qi Ling, " Boss Qi, don't worry, I won't go too far!"
"Take care of yourself!" Qi Ling said helplessly. "Let me give you a heads-up, Zhu Zhuqing is completely different from what she was three months ago. If you're so careless, you'll suffer the consequences."
Although Qi Ling reminded him, Zhao Lei still seemed unconvinced. If he could surpass Zhao Lei in three months, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?
"I know you don't believe me, but you only need to know one thing," Qi Ling said with a smile, "During this time, besides studying at the academy, she's spent most of her time learning from me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei's expression turned serious. He knew all too well how capable Qi Ling was. If he was so confident, could it be that Zhu Zhuqing was truly different?
Before long, the match between the two was broadcast. After they took to the stage and the referee announced the start of the match, the two immediately assumed fighting stances.
Zhao Lei's preferred fighting style is very simple yet effective: he uses his agility and speed to close in on his opponent, and then uses his Blood Handprint to deliver a decisive blow.
While this method can quickly resolve the battle, it also has a fatal flaw: if the opponent breaks his Blood Handprint, Zhao Lei has no chance of winning.
As for the methods to break the Blood Handprint, there are many. The most domineering method is undoubtedly the one that Qi Ling used to absorb directly, but not everyone has such an unreasonable Martial Soul.
So, what method to use to deal with Zhao Lei was the question Zhu Zhuqing had to consider, and her final conclusion was -- speed!
Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Civet Martial Soul is one of the top-tier Agility Attack System Martial Soul, so there's no reason for her to lose to Zhao Lei in speed!
In addition, her practice of the " Nine Nether Sacred Heart Art " during this period has honed her speed to the extreme. Even though she doesn't have an advantage in Soul Skill, she can still leave Zhao Lei far behind.
"Ready, little kitty?" Zhao Lei stretched his body as he faced Zhu Zhuqing. "I'm about to..."
"Ahem!" Qi Ling's voice rang out, "I don't like how you address me, give me something else!"
Zhao Lei: "... No problem, Boss Qi, whatever you say goes!"
Zhao Lei: "Ready, Boss Qi's little kitten? If you're ready, I'm about to begin!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked speechlessly at Zhao Lei opposite her and said, "Let's start."
"Hehe, sorry, but I'll have to end this battle in an instant!" Zhao Lei said, his figure flashing as he charged towards Zhu Zhuqing.
During these three months, Zhao Lei's Soul Power did not improve at all, which allowed him to take the opportunity to hone his skills. Now, his steps are more steady and his speed is faster.
Zhao Lei originally thought that he had made further progress in the past three months, so dealing with Zhu Zhuqing, who was already inferior to him, would be a piece of cake. He thought the duel would probably end in a single exchange.
To his utter surprise, when he rushed to Zhu Zhuqing's side, she suddenly vanished!
"What? How is this possible!" Zhao Lei was shocked and hurriedly looked around. Could it be that Zhu Zhuqing had actually learned Teleportation?
"Where are you looking?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice came from behind Zhao Lei Zhao Lei. She had somehow gotten behind him without him even noticing.
"W-what?" Zhao Lei was shocked and hurriedly turned to face Zhu Zhuqing, saying, "How did you get behind me? Can you teleport?"
"How do I get behind you?" Zhu Zhuqing seemed unable to understand his question. "Just like that, walk over here."
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing moved again, and Zhao Lei was surprised to find that it wasn't that she could Teleportation, but that her speed was too fast for his eyes to keep up!
In just three months, Zhu Zhuqing's progress had become so fast that he couldn't keep up. What terrifying progress! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had undergone a complete transformation.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was also filled with overwhelming excitement. She had finally proven to Zhao Lei that she had indeed become stronger, and not just a little stronger, but a complete qualitative change!
These three months of hard training have not been in vain. My current speed is now unmatched among Soul Master of the same level. Even among Soul Elder, very few can keep up with me.
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze involuntarily drifted to Qi Ling below the stage, where she saw his confident eyes staring intently at her, and her heart swelled with excitement.
While Yu Xiaogang certainly contributed to the three months of training, Zhu Zhuqing knew that the real transformation was due to Qi Ling's training! He had truly fulfilled his promise and made her stronger.
"Damn it, I don't believe it! How could you become so strong in just three months!" Zhao Lei said in disbelief.
You have to understand, he trained day and night for thirteen years to achieve that speed. Now someone has surpassed him in just three months. How could he not be devastated?
