Huo Wu's Blazing Sun, Control System Didn't Mean Retreat

Blazing Fire Academy Training Area.

In the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, a circle with a diameter of twenty steps was drawn with a white line.

The rules are simple.

Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Huo Wu wins if she forces Li Man out of the circle.

If Li Man can hold out until the incense burns out, or if she can let the bamboo rattan control the Huo Wu for three breaths, she will also win.

It wasn't a life-or-death battle.

It does not aim to defeat the opponent.

It's a competition to see who can truly control this venue.

Huo Wu stood at the other end of the circle.

Her dark red hair hung down her back.

Three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple, slowly rose up.

The scorching Soul Power spread.

The temperature on the Soul Fighting arena rose rapidly.

Li Man grasped the Green Jade Bamboo.

Two Yellow Soul Ring encircled his body.

Level 28.

For level 35.

It's not just a seven-level difference in Soul Power.

There is also the gap between Soul Grandmaster and Soul Elder.

Huo Wu glanced at the Soul Ring at Li Man's feet.

"Admit defeat now."

"This way, we can burn fewer bamboo poles."

Li Man placed the Green Jade Bamboo on the ground.

"Let's try it first."

Qin Ming stood outside the field.

The right hand falls.

"Start!"

Huo Wu made almost no attempt to probe.

The first Yellow Soul Ring lit up immediately.

"First Soul Skill, Fire Shadow Binding!"

The Fire Shadow Martial Soul rose behind her.

Several twisted streaks of fire spread forward along the ground.

He did not pounce directly on Li Man.

Instead, it surrounds from both the left and right sides.

The flames hadn't even gotten close.

The heatwave has already blocked any escape route.

Li Man released her First Soul Ring.

"Green Bamboo Binding Formation!"

Two main bamboo shadows rose up beside him.

The bamboo and rattan have just begun to extend outwards.

The flames then swept across the ground.

Laugh!

The surface of the green bamboo rattan quickly turned black.

The edges even started to burn.

Huo Wu continued forward.

"Plants encountering fire."

"What's the point of talking about control?"

She raised her right hand.

The second Yellow Soul Ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill: Fire Shadow Clone!"

Two fiery figures separated from behind.

They charged toward Li Man from the left and right.

The main body, however, remained in the center.

The Hokage does not have a physical body.

Even if the green bamboo vines entangled the flames, they could only suppress them temporarily.

Li Man did not continue to expand the main force.

Instead, it took the initiative to remove a bamboo shadow.

All remaining Soul Power was concentrated at the Mobile Formation Eye.

"Dismantling the formation before it even begins?"

Dugu Yan stood outside the field.

Arms crossed over the chest.

His tone still carried a hint of criticism.

Yu Tianheng, however, looked towards the edge of the circle.

She's reducing the number of positions that need to be defended.

Li Man's feet.

A bamboo shadow suddenly bent.

The Green Bamboo Rebound.

She passed between the two fire shadows.

Just landed.

A wall of fire then rose up from in front.

Huo Wu didn't chase after her.

They are simply shrinking their activity space.

On the left is burning bamboo and rattan.

The one on the right is Naruto.

There's a wall of firewalls directly in front of us.

There were only six steps left behind the white line.

This was the first time Li Man truly felt it.

Huo Wu's control is not precise.

She didn't even try to entangle her opponent.

Using only fire.

Heat wave.

explode.

Block off all directions that you don't want people to take.

The only remaining direction.

This is naturally the path that Huo Wu wants her to take.

This is very similar to the poisonous fog of Dugu Yan.

First, decide who owns the venue.

Then force your opponent to move within your own territory.

"All you do is run away?"

Huo Wu took a step forward.

The firewall then advanced.

Li Man did not answer.

A second bamboo shadow appeared instantly on the side of the fire wall.

The bamboo stalk is curved.

However, she did not use the opportunity to leave.

Instead, the Green Jade Bamboo was pressed down on the bamboo shadow.

The first Mobile Formation Eye rose from behind the fire wall.

Huo Wu's eyes flickered slightly.

Trying to get behind me?

The Hokage immediately turned around.

They lunged towards the Mobile Formation Eye.

Li Man took the initiative to stop the formation.

The Hokage collides with the bamboo shadow.

The flames engulfed it instantly.

Just as the bamboo shadows began to burn.

Thick smoke rose from behind the wall of fire.

Huo Wu's vision was briefly obstructed.

The third bamboo shadow beneath Li Man's feet finally bent.

She used the smoke to propel herself to the left.

They didn't rush towards Huo Wu.

Instead, it returned to the center of the circle.

Dugu Yan's gaze shifted slightly.

"She deliberately burned down the array's core."

Ye Lingling said:

"Bamboo shadows can't block fire anyway."

"Rather than be burned down."

"Why not make cigarettes something she needs?"

Huo Wu turned around.

There was no anger.

Their eyes actually shone even brighter.

"That's more interesting."

She raised both hands at the same time.

The two fiery figures ceased their pursuit of Li Man.

Instead, they dispersed to both sides of the circle.

The scorching Soul Power continuously poured into the ground.

The temperature inside the circle continued to rise.

Even if not directly hit by flames.

Li Man's breathing gradually became heavier.

Huo Wu possesses higher Soul Power.

As long as it continues to be consumed.

She could force Li Man to lose her ability to deploy troops.

You can use a smoke screen once.

"Can we utilize the entire fire area?"

The third purple Soul Ring lit up beneath Huo Wu's feet.

"Third Soul Skill: Repelling Fire Ring!"

A ring of fire erupted centered on her.

It's not burning.

Instead, it possesses an extremely strong repulsive force.

The two bamboo shadows that Li Man had just placed down were shattered simultaneously.

His body was also directly hit by the wave of fire.

She immediately inserted the Green Jade Bamboo into the ground.

Grasp the bamboo stem tightly with both hands.

Two long tracks were left underfoot.

Only one step away from the white line.

The Huo Wu didn't stop.

The Hokage approached from the left and right.

Just push one more step.

Li Man will then leave the circle.

Yu Feng stood outside the arena.

"It's over."

The elemental advantage/disadvantage is too obvious.

Osler shook his head.

"She hasn't used her Second Soul Skill yet."

Li Man looked up.

There was no attack on Huo Wu.

The second Yellow Soul Ring lit up.

The two Mobile Formation Eye, which had been burned down to half their original size, stopped simultaneously.

"Second Soul Skill, Dragon Bamboo Piercing Formation!"

Golden bamboo spears condensed from beside the left-hand array eye.

Huo Wu's eyes narrowed.

The Hokage immediately returned to his side.

Forming a flame barrier.

Li Man, however, did not aim at her.

The bamboo spear was fired towards the area below the right-hand wall of fire.

Whoosh!

The golden bamboo spear pierced through the thinnest part of the flame.

It suddenly changed direction near the second key point.

They emerged again from inside the firewall.

Boom!

An explosion occurred beneath the firewall.

It wasn't destroyed head-on.

Rather, it was because the flame structure was destroyed from the side and below.

A large amount of heat was released outwards.

A gap has appeared on the right side that was originally blocking Li Man's way.

The Green Jade Bamboo at Li Man's feet suddenly bent.

She used the rebound of the bamboo to pass through the gap.

Return to the inside of the circle.

Huo Wu did not immediately give chase.

She looked at the breached wall of fire.

"Use offensive Soul Skill to attack the field."

"You didn't hit me."

Hitting you doesn't necessarily change the outcome.

Li Man said:

"Changing the venue is possible."

Huo Wu chuckled.

"Then let's take a look."

"Can you change next time?"

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest.

The Fire Shadow Martial Soul quickly approached the main body.

The flames from the First Soul Skill and Second Soul Skill did not disappear.

Instead, it kept converging between her hands.

A fireball the size of a fist appeared.

It then expanded rapidly.

The fireball's interior is not made of ordinary flame.

Instead, it was high-temperature Soul Power that had been forcibly compressed.

The Third Soul Ring did not light up.

This is not a new Soul Skill.

Instead, Huo Wu recompressed the flames from her first two Soul Skill.

Feng Xiaotian stood on the sidelines.

The ease on his face vanished for the first time.

"She used that too."

The teacher leading the team from the Blazing Fire Academy frowned.

"Huo Wu."

"It's just a friendly exchange."

I know what I'm doing.

Huo Wu held up the fireball with both hands.

The firelight illuminated the entire Soul Fighting Arena.

"Not finished yet."

Let's call it Blazing Sun for now.

Li Man could clearly sense it.

This attack cannot be taken head-on.

The Bear Astral Energy Body Protection might be able to withstand some of it.

However, the Green Jade Bamboo does not have the ability to directly withstand high-temperature explosions.

not to mention.

Her goal is not to defeat Huo Wu.

Simply stay inside the circle.

But Huo Wu placed Blazing Sun in the center of the circle.

No matter which direction the fireball explodes.

The impact will cover most of the area.

"Didn't you want to control the venue?"

Huo Wu said.

"Now the whole circle is mine."

The fireball was launched.

The speed is not fast.

However, it continuously compresses the space where Li Man can move.

Li Man did not back down.

The Second Soul Ring lit up again.

This will be the second time she has used the Dragon Bamboo Piercing Formation in a short period of time.

More than half of your Soul Power will be consumed.

She had no choice.

A Mobile Formation Eye appeared to Blazing Sun's left.

The other one stopped to the right front of Huo Wu.

Golden bamboo spears coalesced.

"Dragon Bamboo Piercing Formation!"

The bamboo spear was fired.

It did not strike the center of the fireball head-on.

Instead, it struck the lower left of Blazing Sun.

The golden Soul Power had just come into contact with the flames.

It was quickly engulfed by the high temperature.

However, the bamboo spear still managed to change the direction of the fireball's movement.

The Blazing Sun shifted half a foot to the upper right.

It was only half a foot long.

But that was enough to move the explosion's epicenter away from the center of the circle.

Huo Wu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

You can't change it!

She deliberately detonated it.

Boom!

The flames spread.

Half of the Soul Fighting was covered in orange-red flames.

The impact of the Repelling Fire Ring was also mixed in with the explosion.

All the bamboo shadows in front of Li Man shattered at the same time.

The heatwave pushed their bodies toward the edge of the circle.

The white line is right beneath my feet.

She did not try to stand firm.

Instead, he deliberately turned sideways to meet the impact.

The last bamboo shadow appeared instantly beside Huo Wu.

The bamboo shadows are curved.

It didn't bounce Li Man to a safe position.

Instead, they sent her to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu clearly hadn't expected this.

Facing the explosion.

Li Man did not retreat but advanced.

The Green Jade Bamboo pierced through the firelight.

Only one step away from becoming Huo Wu.

As long as the bamboo vines rise from the center of the formation.

This would give them the opportunity to achieve control over the three breaths.

But Huo Wu's Third Soul Ring lit up again.

"Repelling Fire Ring!"

Boom!

Li Man was blasted away head-on.

This time.

She had no more key points to leverage.

Its body flew directly beyond the white line.

Huo Wu's breathing became noticeably heavier due to the continuous use of her Soul Skill.

She looked at the spot where Li Man was about to land.

"It's over."

Smack

A section of bamboo vine, already charred black, suddenly tightened.

That was the first main formation that Li Man voluntarily gave up at the very beginning.

Although most of the bamboo shadows were burned by the flames.

However, the underground roots did not completely disappear.

Bamboo vines wrapped around Li Man's ankle.

Pull her back half a step towards the inside of the circle.

Li Man landed.

One hand is braced inside the white line.

The body was not completely outside the boundary.

At the same time.

Incense ash fell from the sidelines.

The last Fire Star went out.

Qin Ming raised his hand.

Time's up.

The Soul Fighting fell silent.

Huo Wu stood in the center.

Li Man knelt beside the white line.

No one has fulfilled their conditions for victory.

Huo Wu failed to completely force Li Man out of the circle.

Li Man also failed to control Huo Wu for three breaths.

"Draw."

Qin Ming announced.

Huo Wu's expression was not good.

"She just stalled until the time was up."

Li Man stood up.

The edges of the sleeves were charred by the flames.

There was also a light red burn on the side of his face.

"To make it impossible for you to achieve your goal."

"It's about control."

"You failed to break through my Blazing Sun."

Huo Wu said.

"No need."

Li Man answered.

"Rules are not meant to destroy your Soul Skill."

"It's about staying in the circle."

Huo Wu stared at her for a moment.

The Fire Shadow Martial Soul gradually dissipated.

"Next time."

There is no such rule.

I will defeat you head-on.

Li Man put away the Green Jade Bamboo.

"We'll talk about it next time."

Dugu Yan stepped onto the Soul Fighting Arena.

She first glanced at the still-burning bamboo shadows.

Then he looked at Li Man.

"You're in single-player mode."

"They're more decisive in team battles."

Li Man asked:

"What's the meaning?"

"You just changed your route."

"Abandon the core of the formation."

"Charge towards Huo Wu."

"Without hesitation."

Dugu Yan said:

"We can coordinate with Yu Tianheng in the morning."

You're overthinking it.

It's not that your judgment is slow.

"It's because you don't know how to get others to follow your judgment."

Li Man did not immediately refute.

This statement is more accurate than mere criticism.

When fighting alone.

She only needs to take responsibility for her own choices.

After joining the team.

She not only needs to make judgments.

She also needs to ensure her teammates understand her judgment in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, even the most correct tactics will fail.

It may also fail due to command conflicts.

I will change it.

Li Man said.

Dugu Yan gave a soft hum.

"Don't lose too badly yet."

On the other side of the training field.

Dong Jian never only watched the Soul Fighting Arena.

He spent most of his time observing Feng Xiaotian.

When the Blazing Sun.

Feng Xiaotian's shoulder tilted to the right first.

The waist rotates accordingly.

Only then did the surrounding airflow finally change.

Landing is not the beginning of a flight-type Soul Master changing direction.

That's just the final result.

After Huo Wu and Li Man finished their sparring match.

Feng Xiaotian took the initiative to walk into the arena.

"Ten breaths."

"Try again?"

Dong Jian nodded.

"Come."

The timer has started.

Feng Xiaotian's body rose into the air.

It was still only a few feet off the ground.

First breath.

He moved to the left.

Dong Jian did not trigger Short Tremor.

Second breath.

Feng Xiaotian turned his shoulder to the right.

However, the waist is still facing to the left.

It was a feint.

Dong Jian was not fooled.

Fourth breath.

Feng Xiaotian's right shoulder slumped.

The airflow contracts on the left wing.

The body hasn't changed direction yet.

Dong Jian had already raised his right foot.

Short Tremor fell.

Thump!

The shock did not hit Feng Xiaotian.

However, it landed at the low altitude position where he had originally intended to use it for leverage.

The updrafts were affected.

Feng Xiaotian had no choice but to advance his ascent.

The continuous changes of direction were also forced to stop.

The ten breaths have ended.

Dong Jian still couldn't touch the hem of his clothes.

But after Feng Xiaotian landed...

He nodded seriously for the first time.

"This is much better."

"Still haven't run into him."

"But you started acting before I changed direction."

Feng Xiaotian said:

"Keep practicing."

"Wait until you can judge before my shoulder turns."

"Only then have you truly grasped the basics of flight."

Dong Jian wrote down those words.

Outside the training area.

A chilling aura slowly approached.

The flames that had remained on the Soul Fighting arena began to extinguish themselves.

A team composed entirely of girls walked into the training field.

The girl at the very front had long, ice-blue hair.

His expression was calm.

His gaze first swept over Huo Wu.

It stopped on Li Man again.

Shui Bing'er.

Beside her.

Xue Wu fell to the ground.

Tiny ice crystals began to appear in the air.

Shui Bing'er glanced at the remaining flames and bamboo shadows within the circle.

"You two are in control."

"It's all too obvious."

Huo Wu frowned.

"You've just arrived and you're already looking for trouble?"

"I'm just stating the result."

Shui Bing'er spoke calmly.

She looked at Li Man.

"True control."

"It should happen before the opponent discovers it."

"It's already finished."

Li Man has not yet answered.

The contact list in Qin Ming's hand suddenly lit up.

The results of the first round of the draw between the Five Elements Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy have been delivered.

Qin Ming opened the list.

The first match.

Two-on-two control confrontation.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy:

Dugu Yan.

Li Man.

Skywater Academy:

Shui Bing'er.

Xue Wu.

Dugu Yan saw the list.

His face immediately darkened.

"Should I be paired with her?"

Li Man also looked at Qin Ming.

What are the rules?

"Occupy three ice crystal platforms."

Qin Ming said:

"The game is over."

The side that controls two or more locations wins.

Shui Bing'er turned around.

They did not linger.

Xue Wu followed behind her.

There was no exchange between the two.

Their steps, however, maintained the same rhythm throughout.

Dugu Yan watched their retreating figures.

"They've been working together for many years."

Li Man withdrew the list.

"We haven't even decided who should listen to whom."

Dugu Yan looked at her.

This time.

There can only be one control core.

Li Man did not back down.

"Then let's see who can decipher Shui Bing'er's control first."

Outside the training field.

Tiny ice crystals had already covered the stone steps.

And Shui Bing'er started from the moment she entered this place.

He has never released his Martial Soul even once.
