Fighting Soi Fon

Just as Soi Fon was preparing for battle, Wang Xun slowly exhaled.

"However, there's one thing that needs adjusting."

Wang Xun did not draw his sword.

Instead, he made a move that surprised Soi Fon and the reserve team members watching from the sidelines.

He removed his Zanpakuto, still sheathed, and gently placed it on the ground at the edge of the training room.

"Since you say you'll only use Hakuda..."

Wang Xun flexed his wrist, producing a slight cracking sound, and a calm, focused smile appeared on his face.

"Then I'll just have to Hakuda."

His words caused an uproar among the reserve team members who were watching from the sidelines.

"Did you see that? This kid's gone mad. He's so arrogant he's lost all sense of reality."

"Soi Fon's Hakuda is among the best in the Punishment Force. Even in suppressing Reiatsu, she's far superior to a kid who just graduated from the Spiritual Arts Academy."

"You're asking for it! You know, Soi Fon hates arrogant people like you the most."

"There's a limit to arrogance..."

On the training field, Soi Fon's eyes narrowed slightly.

Looking at Wang Xun's serious expression, she didn't feel anything special.

Whether she uses Zanpakuto or Kidō is irrelevant to her.

She didn't care.

"Ready?"

Wang Xun assumed the starting stance for the Hakuda Strike, his movements precise and steady.

Please advise.

The next second, Soi Fon's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

The Punishment Force primarily uses Shunpo) and Hakuda. Soi Fon's Shunpo is extremely refined, with even Reiatsu fluctuations being barely perceptible.

Wang Xun's pupils contracted sharply, and relying entirely on his fighting instincts, he slid to the right while raising his arm to block.

Bang!

Soi Fon's whip kick landed precisely on his parrying forearm, with astonishing force.

Wang Xun felt a numbness in his arm, and his body was suddenly pressed down by a tremendous force.

"The response is good."

Soi Fon's voice came from the left, but her figure instantly appeared behind Wang Xun's right, delivering a low sweeping kick straight at Wang Xun's lower body.

Wang Xun exerted force with his feet, and Soi Fon's sweeping leg grazed the sole of his shoe.

Wang Xun seized the opportunity, twisted his waist and abdomen, and launched a counterattack against Soi Fon with a spinning kick.

Soi Fon neither dodged nor evaded, but instead extended her left hand to the side, using the force to deflect Wang Xun's kick. At the same time, she lunged forward, turning her right hand from a palm into a fist, and struck Wang Xun's chest with lightning speed.

Wang Xun had no way to avoid it at this point, and could only cross his arms to block.

Bang!

He was sent flying backward by the punch, staggering back a few steps before regaining his balance, his chest heaving with blood and qi.

So competitive.

Even if their Reiatsu is suppressed to the same level, Soi Fon's hand -Hakuda skills, battle experience, and grasp of timing are far superior to his.

What surprised him even more was that Soi Fon and kicks were noticeably abnormally powerful.

The next moment, Wang Xun sensed something.

She incorporated a unique Reiatsu circulation method, similar to that of the Kidō), into her Hakuda to enhance the power of her punches and kicks.

This combination of Hakuda and Kidō -style taijutsu suggests that Yoruichi and Soi Fon have already begun developing Shunkō.

But there was no fear in Wang Xun's eyes; instead, an even more intense fighting spirit ignited within him.

[Gained 3 Reiryoku Fragment, +30 Spiritual Might Experience]

[Gained 1x Shunpo skill, +10 Shunpo experience points]

[Gain 3 Hakuda Tips, +30 Hakuda Experience]

[Gained 1 Kidō Insight, Kidō Experience Points +10]

The system notification sound flashed before his eyes.

At the same time, Wang Xun could feel that the corresponding insights within his body were rapidly increasing.

He saw the treasure.

Soi Fon looked at Wang Xun, whose fighting spirit had grown even stronger, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

She admires strength; only those who possess the qualities of a strong person will attract her attention.

Looks like this kid will get to practice with her properly today.

Soi Fon gave Wang Xun his breath and launched another fierce attack.

Her attacks were like a whirlwind, each strike concise and deadly, coming from the most cunning angles.

Hand strikes, elbow strikes, knee strikes, finger stabs... the moves became increasingly unpredictable and dangerous. Xing Punishment Force Hakuda had no fancy moves; it was all hard-earned killing techniques.

Wang Xun struggled to withstand the relentless onslaught, constantly being struck, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, occasionally managing to retaliate with a move or two amidst his evasive maneuvers.

More importantly, as the battle progressed, he gradually became more adept at dealing with Soi Fon's attacks.

His timing for blocking and dodging became increasingly precise, and he even began to be able to predict some of Soi Fon's moves.

"Um?"

Soi Fon keenly noticed this change, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

At some point, Wang Xun gradually became more and more difficult to deal with.

And she gradually became more serious.

Soi Fon's offensive suddenly accelerated, her figure leaving several afterimages as she launched attacks from all directions simultaneously.

Wang Xun immense pressure, several more bruises appeared on his body, and his breath tasted slightly metallic.

Fortunately, the Hakuda experience points he had accumulated in the Maggot's Nest were finally full.

The next moment, a system notification appeared.

[Gain 3 Hakuda Tips, +30 Hakuda Experience]

[Hakuda level increased ↑]

[Hakuda: lv5 (Experience: 10/8000)]

The system's prompt was like a refreshing spring.

Wang Xun felt that his understanding of the Hakuda had become completely integrated at this moment, and his body seemed to have undergone countless trials.

The most direct feeling was that he could see Soi Fon's attack trajectory more clearly.

When Soi Fon delivered her next chop, Wang Xun did not block it head-on as he had done before.

He slightly turned his body, letting the chop graz his chest, while his left hand shot out like a venomous snake, grabbing at Soi Fon's wrist.

Soi Fon was startled and twisted her wrist to dodge, but Wang Xun's right hand attacked her ribs like an electric cannon.

This punch was accurate, vicious, and extremely fast. Soi Fon couldn't dodge it in time and had no choice but to take the punch head-on, taking two steps back.

She was panting, a burning pain shooting through her right breast, causing her pupils to dilate.

This was the first time she had been hit since the start of the war.

She gritted her teeth, her anger rising, and her face flushed slightly.

That bastard, where should I hit him...?

The reserve team members watching from the sidelines were dumbfounded.

"He... he actually forced Soi Fon to retreat?"

"How is that possible? I didn't really see his movements clearly."

"Is this kid really that strong? Did Soi Fon hold back...?"

The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances, some mouths agape, too shocked to speak coherently.

On the training field, Soi Fon stared intently at Wang Xun.

She had calmed down by now, and recalling Wang Xun's attack just now, a glint of disbelief flashed in her dark eyes.

She knew very well that what had just happened was no fluke.

Wang Xun's reaction and timing were significantly better than at the beginning.

Did he hide his true strength before?

No, it doesn't seem like it either.

During their exchange, she could sense Wang Xun's progress and changes.

It's not that he's hiding it; rather, his skill in Hakuda is rapidly improving during battles.

"You..."

Thinking of this, Soi Fon's voice showed a change for the first time.

Wang Xun's test could actually have ended here.

However, Wang Xun on the other side ignored Soi Fon's intentions.

He took a deep breath and assumed a new stance.

"Again."

Wang Xun said in a deep voice.

Soi Fon was taken aback by what she heard, then her pupils contracted sharply and her lips twitched slightly.

After staring intently at Wang Xun for a few seconds, she suddenly smiled.

I laughed in exasperation.
