Let Power Follow Your Will

Boom--!!

Yu Lin's back slammed heavily onto the ground.

Gravel flew everywhere, and dust exploded.

The ground cracked open from his back, forming a dense spiderweb pattern that extended several meters outwards.

The blue-purple lightning dissipated instantly, and all the Soul Ring dimmed.

He groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on the ground, spreading into a dark red pattern.

My head tilted to the side, my vision blurred, and my whole body felt like it was falling apart; I couldn't move at all.

Hu Yuxiu stood at the edge of the pit, slightly out of breath.

The azure vortex around him slowly receded, and the wind patterns on his skin gradually disappeared.

He looked at Yu Lin on the ground and clenched his fist.

We won.

He really won.

Use the techniques you figure out yourself, and the path you walk yourself.

He defeated this top student who used to overwhelm him.

A slow smile crept onto Hu Yuxiu's lips.

The smile grew wider and wider, spreading from the corners of his mouth to the depths of his eyes, finally transforming into a hearty laugh that carried far away on the sea breeze.

I never knew that having power felt so wonderful.

The view from a high place is so clear and beautiful.

All those days spent chasing rankings and competing for resources in the academy, the bitterness and resentment of looking up at others, and the frustration of trying my best but still failing to catch up—all have now turned into insignificant dust beneath my feet.

The wind surged around him, and the wind patterns that had only appeared on his arms were now slowly spreading along his limbs, crawling little by little towards his chest, like dark green tattoos etched under his skin, rising and falling slightly with his breath.

The power of the Gale Leopard is no longer a phantom in Soul Skill, nor is it a pattern that only appears when the martial Martial Soul is activated.

It grew on its own body.

Hu Yuxiu spread his arms and looked at his arms.

The wind Entanglement on my fingertips, turning with my heart's desire.

He did it.

He truly forged his own path.

"Tsk tsk tsk! You look like you're not feeling too well."

A voice, tinged with laughter, suddenly came from behind.

Hu Yuxiu was startled and turned his head sharply.

Someone was standing next to the reef at some point.

The white tiger mask covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes that were looking at him with a hint of amusement. He wore a loose black vest that exposed his smooth arms, jeans, and a long black trench coat over them, the hem fluttering in the sea breeze.

It's Sea Tiger!

Hu Yuxiu's breathing quickened instantly.

Those eyes, that voice.

For the past month, he has been thinking about that figure day and night!

"Sea Tiger!!"

Hu Yuxiu burned with fervor as he stared intently at the person before him, his voice trembling slightly.

He's here!

He actually came!

My heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to burst out of my chest.

I've been training like a madman for the past month, relentlessly honing my control over the wind. What for?

Isn't it just about wanting to prove yourself to this person?

All I wanted was for him to look at me more.

Hu Yuxiu subconsciously clenched his fist, and the wind patterns on his arm instantly brightened a bit more, creeping up his forearm a little further.

He straightened his chest and looked intently at Bai Yushan, as if he were eager to show off his student.

"Can't you see? I'm getting stronger, Sea Tiger!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed ecstasy, and his Soul Power surged involuntarily.

The azure vortex around him swirled up again, and the fine sand on the beach was whipped up by the wind, swirling around him.

The wind patterns continued to grow, gradually spreading towards his chest.

He wanted this person to see it.

Recognize your own progress.

Seeing that I had not disappointed the awe-inspiring experience of that day.

The next second, Hu Yuxiu.

Unable to contain his elation any longer, he unleashed a vortex of energy beneath his feet, transforming into a gust of wind as he charged toward Bai Yushan.

Gale Combat Technique!

This is the fundamental principle he figured out over the past month.

Using the essence of the Gale Leopard Martial Soul, he imprinted the fierce wind onto his body like leopard spots.

Enduring the relentless tearing of the fierce winds day after day, their bodies are constantly tempered, and their strength and muscles are enhanced.

During battle, every move is accompanied by fierce winds, easily tearing through ordinary Soul Power defenses.

The wind howled as Hu Yuxiu waved his hands, creating a series of afterimages, each carrying a cyan Wind Blade that blanketed Bai Yushan.

Why can't you see how powerful I am right now?!

He shouted, his voice filled with youthful stubbornness and a desperate need to prove himself.

Bai Yushan stood still, watching Hu Yuxiu pounce on him, and grinned.

A playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask.

That's interesting.

This kid has actually figured something out.

He also formed claws with both hands, neither dodging nor avoiding, and went straight to Wind Blade.

There is no lightning, and no Soul Skill.

It was purely physical strength, combined with skillful technique, that precisely gripped the opponent's wrist.

Bang, bang, bang!

Several muffled thuds followed.

The two men's hands collided rapidly, their claws flashing and the wind scattering in all directions.

Each of Hu Yuxiu's strikes was accompanied by a fierce wind, with heavy force and tricky angles.

But in Bai Yushan's hands, it was like hitting a pile of cotton; the force was easily dissipated.

Bai Yushan effortlessly deflected his attacks.

This kid is improving really fast.

It's much better than it was a month ago.

Unfortunately, it still wasn't enough.

As the third move came, Bai Yushan slightly shifted his body at the foot of the foot, dodging the claw's edge, and at the same time kicked out.

So fast that it left only a blur.

Hu Yuxiu felt a blur before his eyes, and then a tremendous force came from his lower abdomen.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the beach.

boom--

The sand exploded, creating a shallow crater.

Hu Yuxiu rolled twice in the sand before regaining his balance, then knelt on one knee and looked up at Bai Yushan.

A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't seem to care at all.

His eyes were filled with fervor.

Really!

Indeed, very strong!

They're on a completely different level from me!

"You, who have forged your own path, can indeed be called a strong person."

Bai Yushan grinned, his voice slow and deliberate, carrying a hint of approval.

"But that's not enough."

"How can a strong person be influenced by their own power? You should influence power! Make power follow your will!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Bai Yushan's figure swayed.

Sizzle--

A black and red arc of electricity flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly appearing before Hu Yuxiu.

It's so fast that you can't even react to it.

Hu Yuxiu's pupils contracted sharply. He saw a flash of lightning before his eyes, and Bai Yushan was already in front of him.

He raised his right fist, delivering an ordinary punch.

There was no brilliance from Soul Skill, no vibration from Soul Power.

It was just an ordinary punch.

But in Hu Yuxiu's eyes, this punch occupied his entire field of vision.

It was as if only this one punch remained in the entire world!

There were no fancy changes, no tricky angles.

It just came straight at me.

But you can't dodge it, you can't block it.

It was as if all escape routes had been blocked, and all responses had become meaningless.

Is this the power that comes from unleashing one's will without reservation?!
