Chapter 18 - Sparring

Yan was secretly surprised when he saw Hu Liena's fluid dodging movements.

He didn't expect Hu Liena to be capable of such movements.

Xie Yue retracted his Moon Blade and exchanged a look with Yan.

"Yan, we need to get serious."

"Just what I was thinking!" The flames around Yan's body surged. "Third Spirit Ability, Hellfire!"

Rolling flames surged from the ground, covering nearly half of the Soul Fighting Arena.

The high temperature caused the air to begin distorting.

Ling Feng controlled the battle armor, making Hu Liena retreat quickly. This kind of wide-area attack was indeed troublesome.

"Senior Sister, use your Second Spirit Ability!"

"Second Spirit Ability, Fox Charm!"

A charming light wave with black and red patterns swept toward Yan and Xie Yue.

Xie Yue reacted quickly and immediately closed his eyes. "Yan, watch out for mental attacks!"

But it was too late for Yan; his movements slowed down noticeably, and the power of his flames weakened.

Ling Feng seized the opportunity and controlled the vines on the battle armor to attack Yan.

Over a dozen black and red vines lashed out at Yan like whips at extreme speed.

Although Yan was affected by the Charm, his physical instincts remained; his Granite Armor withstood several strikes.

"Dammit!" Yan gritted his teeth as he resisted the Charm effect. "This kind of mental attack is really annoying!"

Xie Yue wasn't faring much better. Although he had closed his eyes in time, the Charm attack wasn't just visual; it was a mental assault.

"Don't think you can avoid it just by closing your eyes!" Hu Liena took back control. "Third Spirit Ability, Heavenly Fox Transformation!"

The battle armor on Hu Liena's body shone brightly, and all her attributes were boosted once again.

Her figure flashed, moving so fast it was dazzling, and she appeared in front of Yan in an instant.

"What? So fast!" Yan was shocked.

Hu Liena threw a punch at Yan's chest, the immense force sending him stumbling back.

Seeing this, Xie Yue immediately launched an attack to support him. "First Spirit Ability, Slash!"

The Moon Blade slashed toward Hu Liena with a sharp Aura, but Ling Feng had already anticipated this strike.

He took back control and maneuvered the battle armor into a graceful backflip, easily dodging the attack while sending vines to perform a Binding on Xie Yue.

"Such coordination!" Xie Yue marveled inwardly as he hurried to cut the vines with his Moon Blade.

But Ling Feng's attack wasn't over. More vines attacked from various angles, leaving Xie Yue struggling to cope.

Yan finally managed to steady himself. Seeing Xie Yue being suppressed, he immediately wanted to help.

But Hu Liena had already taken back control and used Fox Fire Command again, forcing Yan into full defense.

Yue Guan nodded repeatedly from the sidelines.

"Xiao Feng's combat awareness is very good. Although his Rank isn't high, the power is indeed astonishing when combined with Nana's Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

The battle on the field grew more and more intense.

Xie Yue finally found an opportunity to break free from the vines' entanglement. "Yan! Let's team up!"

"Alright!" Yan nodded, and the two began to coordinate their attacks.

Xie Yue's Moon Blade and Yan's flames complemented each other, putting considerable pressure on Hu Liena and Ling Feng.

"Junior Brother, let's coordinate too!" Hu Liena said in her mind.

"Okay, Senior Sister! You handle the Spirit Ability attacks, and I'll handle the close-quarters combat!"

The two began to divide the labor. Hu Liena used various Spirit Abilities to harass, while Ling Feng controlled the vines for close-range attacks.

This coordination made it even harder for Xie Yue and Yan to deal with them.

"The chemistry between these two is just too high!" Yan was panting slightly; the continuous high-intensity combat was taking a toll on him.

Xie Yue wasn't doing much better. The resilience of the Magic Cloud Vine exceeded his imagination; although his Moon Blade was sharp, it was still difficult to completely cut through these vines.

At that moment, Ling Feng suddenly felt his spirit power consumption was too high.

"Senior Sister, I'm about to reach my limit!"

"Then let's finish this quickly!" Hu Liena made a decision. "Second Spirit Ability, Fox Charm! First Spirit Ability, Fox Fire Command!"

Both Spirit Abilities were released simultaneously. The powerful mental shock combined with the flame attack caught Xie Yue and Yan off guard.

Ling Feng also gave his all, controlling all the vines for a final attack.

"Third Spirit Ability, Break!" Xie Yue struck with all his might, trying to Breakthrough the surrounding vines.

"Third Spirit Ability, Hellfire!" Yan also unleashed his strongest attack.

The four forces collided violently in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, the massive energy fluctuations making the entire venue tremble.

Once the dust settled, all four looked a bit disheveled.

Hu Liena and Ling Feng's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had deactivated, and both were somewhat exhausted.

Xie Yue and Yan were no better, their clothes torn and their faces covered in dust.

Yue Guan spoke up at the right time. "The match is over! This match is a draw!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the battle had indeed been intense.

Yan walked over to Ling Feng and extended his hand. "Kid, you're pretty good!"

Ling Feng smiled and shook Yan's hand. "Senior Yan is also very strong."

Xie Yue also walked over. "Ling Feng, your combat awareness is excellent. In time, you will surely become someone great."

Hu Liena wiped her sweat, her face full of excitement. "That match was so satisfying!"

Yue Guan walked into the middle of the group. "You all performed very well, but there's still plenty of room for improvement."

He looked at Ling Feng. "Xiao Feng, your Spirit is very unique, but you still need to accumulate more combat experience."

Ling Feng nodded. "I will work hard, Teacher."

"Nana, the power of your Spirit Abilities is good, but your close-quarters combat still needs strengthening."

"Yes, ElderYue Guan!"

Just as they were about to leave the Soul Fighting Arena, an unexpected voice came from the spectator stands.

"What a splendid match."

Everyone looked up to see Bibi Dong sitting in the stands; they didn't know when she had arrived.

"Teacher!" Hu Liena and Ling Feng exclaimed at the same time.

Bibi Dong slowly stood up and walked down from the stands. Her Purple Robe looked exceptionally elegant under the lights of the Soul Fighting Arena.

"Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff." Yue Guan, Xie Yue, and Yan immediately bowed.

Bibi Dong waved her hand. "You may all rise."

She walked over to them, her purple pupils scanning each person.

"I saw the match just now. You all performed very well."

Hu Liena was a little nervous. "Teacher, when did you arrive?"

"From beginning to end," Bibi Dong said calmly. "Nana, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between you and Xiao Feng indeed has great potential."

She turned to Xie Yue and Yan. "The coordination between the two of you is also good, but it still needs more refinement."

Yan scratched his head. "Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, we will continue to work hard."

Bibi Dong nodded, then looked at Ling Feng. "Xiao Feng, although your Rank isn't high, your combat awareness is excellent."

Ling Feng replied respectfully, "Thank you for the praise, Teacher."

Bibi Dong thought to herself that Ling Feng's skill in controlling the vines was indeed impressive; that kind of fluid combat rhythm was definitely not something a six-year-old child should possess.

"However," Bibi Dong's tone shifted, "while your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is powerful, there are still many areas that need improvement."

Hu Liena asked humbly, "Teacher, where do you think we need to improve?"
