The new round of Soul Master Grand Competition draws began.
This time, Shrek Academy was matched against Blazing Academy, and Blazing Academy did not concede.
"Huowu definitely wouldn't surrender directly," Shui Yue'er said, watching Blazing Academy's team enter the arena, as if she had already predicted that Huowu wouldn't concede.
Shui Bing'er said, "That's normal; she just has a stubborn personality."
Shui Yue'er suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, Yun Han actually entered the match. He doesn't need to enter at all; just Xiao Wu or Zhu Zhuqing alone could defeat Blazing Academy." Heaven Water Academy had already fought Blazing Academy, and Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's martial spirit fusion skill had defeated Huowu and Huo Wushuang. However, Heaven Water Academy lost to Holy Wind Academy because Feng Xiaotian was too underhanded; he suddenly took advantage of them at the very beginning, blowing all seven members of Heaven Water Academy's team off the arena. In that match, Heaven Water Academy lost due to carelessness.
Shrek Academy's seven participants this time were: Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Tai Long, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Jiang Zhu, and Ethan (Xu Yunhan). Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu did not participate. With Xu Yunhan present, no one could win. However, they also needed to give Ma Hongjun, Tai Long, and the others a chance to perform.
"Phoenix of Blazing Flames!"
"Phoenix Fireline!"
"Phoenix Sky-Shattering Strike!"
Ma Hongjun fought energetically. Tai Long, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan each faced an opponent. Oscar and Jiang Zhu were support Soul Masters and didn't need to directly engage in combat.
Huowu's Challenge and the Fire Immunity
"All three of us, together!"
Huowu, Huo Wushuang, and another team member, all three of them, attacked Xu Yunhan together. Huowu's martial spirit was the Fire Shadow, and Huo Wushuang's martial spirit was the Horned Blazing Dragon.
"Blazing Dance Solar Flare!"
"Dragon Flame!"
"Sparks Like Rain!"
The three's soul skills collectively assaulted Xu Yunhan. However, Xu Yunhan stood still, only needing to protect his clothes with soul power from being damaged.
"He actually isn't attacking! He's looking down on us too much!" Huowu felt angry, yet she secretly harbored some goodwill towards Xu Yunhan. The three of them launched a fierce barrage of attacks for a while before stopping. But as the smoke cleared, Xu Yunhan stood perfectly still, without a single scratch.
"Ghost Flash!"
Xu Yunhan suddenly vanished, leaving behind an afterimage, then reappeared beside Huowu. "Sorry, I'm fire immune!"
Fire immune!
Huowu looked at Xu Yunhan in surprise, unwilling to believe it. She condensed flames onto her fist and punched the Xu Yunhan in front of her.
"Still quite fiery."
Xu Yunhan grabbed Huowu's hand and pulled her towards him. Huowu was instantly pulled into Xu Yunhan's embrace.
"You, let go of me!" Huowu was instantly flustered, shy, her face bright red.
"Huowu!" Huo Wushuang rushed over.
"Off you go!" Xu Yunhan put an arm around Huowu's waist and tossed her towards Huo Wushuang.
Huo Wushuang quickly caught Huowu. "Huowu, are you alright?" Seeing his sister's face bright red, he thought she was injured.
"I'm fine!" Huowu said shyly. "Keep attacking him! He said he's fire immune, but I don't believe it."
Huo Wushuang was surprised. "Fire immune? Doesn't that specifically counter us? No wonder he wasn't hurt when he didn't move earlier." How are we supposed to fight now? "How about we just concede?"
"No!" Huowu refused. "If you don't fight, I will!"
"Soul Ring Fusion Skill, Blazing Dance Solar Flare!"
Huowu began to unleash her innate ability. Three soul rings appeared on her body, then began to merge.
"Huowu, don't risk it. Your soul ring fusion skill isn't mature yet. Be careful of backlash." Huo Wushuang said worriedly.
"Let me try!" Huowu was very stubborn.
Huo Wushuang could do nothing but guard her from the side. Xu Yunhan didn't approach, watching Huowu, finding it somewhat interesting. "She actually comprehended a soul ring fusion skill; her talent isn't bad."
A soul ring fusion skill was not a martial spirit fusion skill. It was a skill that involved fusing multiple soul rings to draw more soul power and greatly amplify the effect of a certain soul skill. It required innate talent to comprehend a soul ring fusion skill, and very few Soul Masters could achieve it. Huowu possessed such talent.
However, Huowu's soul ring fusion skill was not yet mature. Although she essentially succeeded in fusing her soul rings, condensing a massive fireball in the air, she couldn't withstand such power. "Brother, quickly get away! I can't hold on anymore." The giant fireball descended, and Huo Wushuang couldn't block it; he would surely be severely injured.
"Huowu, what are you going to do?" Huo Wushuang was more concerned about his sister's safety. "We concede. Let the referee intervene."
Just as Huo Wushuang was about to concede and ask the referee to step in, Xu Yunhan suddenly appeared, one arm around Huowu's waist, the other holding the fireball in the air. Huowu was stunned. She hadn't expected Xu Yunhan to help her. In Huowu's gaze, Xu Yunhan squeezed his hand, and the giant fireball in the air exploded, scattering across the sky like a massive fireworks display! It was beautiful! It left Huowu mesmerized.
The audience gasped; it was so beautiful!
"You're very talented, but don't use soul ring fusion skills recklessly when they're not mature, or you'll be the one getting hurt," Xu Yunhan's voice pulled Huowu back to reality.
She lowered her head. "Um, why did you help me?"
Xu Yunhan looked down at her. "It was nothing; I just did it on impulse."
Just on impulse? Huowu was a little disappointed. She pulled away from Xu Yunhan's hand. "Thank you."
Huo Wushuang walked over. "Huowu, are you alright?" He glanced at Xu Yunhan and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving Huowu."
"It's a small matter," Xu Yunhan said. "Do you still want to fight?" Huowu was too shy to look up or speak.
Huo Wushuang said awkwardly, "We concede!"
Ma Hongjun, Tai Long, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan had already stopped fighting and were watching.
"Shrek Academy wins!" the referee announced the result.
Huowu's New Obsession
In the passage where both teams were leaving, Huowu gathered her courage and approached Xu Yunhan. "Xu Yunhan, let's formally introduce ourselves. My name is Huowu."
Xu Yunhan smiled faintly. "Xu Yunhan. It's a pleasure to meet you." With that, he turned and left.
Huowu stood rooted to the spot, watching Xu Yunhan walk further and further away. Her goodwill towards Xu Yunhan had increased significantly.
Huo Wushuang approached Huowu. Having noticed some things, he reminded her, "Huowu, Xu Yunhan has quite a few women."
Huowu bit her lip. "I know." Xu Yunhan was perfect, but he was a bit of a philanderer, with many women. This bothered Huowu. Despite her feelings, she said, "Just getting to know him, making a friend, that's alright, isn't it?"
Huo Wushuang felt that his sister was genuinely interested, fearing she was throwing herself at a flame, and simultaneously felt sorry for Feng Xiaotian.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
"Little Sister Huowu, are you alright?" The simp, Feng Xiaotian, appeared, showering her with concerned inquiries.
"You don't need to worry about me," Huowu said directly and walked away.
Huo Wushuang watched her go, shaking his head. He felt that Feng Xiaotian probably had no chance at all. He said to Feng Xiaotian, "If you encounter Shrek Academy, just concede directly. The rumors that Xu Yunhan can defeat a Soul Douluo, I believe they're true."
Feng Xiaotian frowned. "Even if I can't win, I'll fight! Huowu can do it, so can I!"
Huo Wushuang sighed, "Suit yourself."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were already waiting for Xu Yunhan and the others to return in Shrek Academy's team area.
