26: Chapter 26 Giving Mai a Dignified Way to Lose

"Spirit Ancestor?" Huo Wu looked at Su Ling in front of her, full of confusion.

A Spirit Ancestor, yet his appearance was truly too young; he looked about the same age as her.

"Very good, very good. If you really are a Spirit Ancestor, you can let me fight you with all my might. As long as you win against me, you can obtain three thousand gold coins."

"My name is Huo Wu, a level 39 control system Spirit Elder."

Su Ling said: "Fine, let's begin!"

After hearing this, Huo Wu immediately released her Spirit, Fire Shadow, but the Su Ling before her did not release his Spirit.

"Why aren't you releasing your Spirit?" Huo Wu looked at Su Ling, confused.

Su Ling just shook his head and said: "No need. You are a Spirit Elder, and I am a Spirit Ancestor; I'll let you have a Spirit."

"You!" Huo Wu gritted her teeth. Her nameless anger from just a moment ago hadn't dissipated, and with Su Ling saying that, her temper flared even more.

Below the stage, Feng Xiaotian also said: "Huo Wu is angry. This brat is finished. Provoking my sister Huo Wu, he's courting death. Level 43 Soul Power, the gap with sister Huo Wu isn't big, yet he still won't use his Spirit—you're in for a rough time, kid."

At this moment, he still didn't know that Huo Wu's anger had been ignited by him.

"Then I will force you to use your Spirit." Huo Wu charged directly at Su Ling. Seeing Huo Wu coming, Su Ling quickly took two steps back and then received Huo Wu's fist.

Su Ling was still relatively lacking in hand-to-hand combat techniques. His predecessor focused on physical Cultivation and the Family's Legacy archery, not focusing on basic attacks involving fists and kicks.

After all, for a Spirit Master with a bow Spirit and long-range attack types, these were not the most important things.

This led to Su Ling being somewhat lacking in this aspect.

There were no such techniques among the Cultivation Techniques opened from treasure chests either, so Su Ling's hand-to-hand combat skills still needed improvement.

Therefore, Su Ling was willing to spar with Huo Wu, even though he was holding back his strength. However, Su Ling's strength was too great and simply not on par.

Every strike made Huo Wu feel pain, as if she were facing a lump of iron.

Huo Wu was not short; she was at least over 1.75 meters tall with long legs, so her attacks were also accompanied by various kicks.

Thump...

Just as Huo Wu kicked over, because of the speed, Su Ling took advantage and grabbed her lower leg with one hand.

Huo Wu instinctively tried to retract her leg, but Su Ling's strength was too great; she couldn't take it back on the first try.

She tried using more force, but it still didn't work.

"For a girl, it's better not to wear a skirt when fighting like this." Su Ling said in a low voice.

From that angle, he seemed to vaguely catch a glimpse of something he shouldn't have seen.

"You pervert, you're asking for a beating!"

Huo Wu flipped her body, lifting her other leg to spin and break free from Su Ling's attack.

Unfortunately, Su Ling's strength was still too great, so Huo Wu immediately released a Spirit Ability, and it was her third Spirit Ability: Repulsive Fire Ring.

In an instant, a dazzling ring of fire erupted with Huo Wu as the center.

Although this Spirit Ability had no attack power, it could repel all opponents within the range of the Repulsive Fire Ring, with an effective radius of thirty meters.

The Repulsive Fire Ring could ignore any skill or defense and could temporarily drive away all skills within the attack range.

As long as the opponent's attack skill did not exceed her Soul Power by ten levels.

This was also the reason why she had built a small Douhun Arena.

Although it was a challenge for everyone, she still had some small motives; the gold coins didn't matter, but Blazing Academy could not lose.

People from the major academies basically couldn't withstand this move of hers, and she was almost invincible.

But today, facing the man in front of her, her Repulsive Fire Ring failed for the first time.

Su Ling still held onto her lower leg and was not repelled.

"Forget it, I won't play with you anymore."

It wasn't appropriate to keep holding someone's lower leg, not to mention that quite a few people below the stage were already harboring killing intent toward him, especially that Feng Xiaotian.

Huo Wu was excellent, and she had no shortage of suitors at Blazing Academy.

After being let go by Su Ling, the look on Huo Wu's Face was one of disbelief at the facts before her.

"My Repulsive Fire Ring actually didn't work? How is that possible? You are only a level 43 Spirit Ancestor. Are you lying?"

Although the effect of Huo Wu's Repulsive Fire Ring was powerful, Su Ling could truly withstand it.

After absorbing that ten-thousand-year spirit ring and the external Spirit Bone, Su Ling's body had already reached the Peak of the Spirit Emperor level.

And in terms of strength alone, it was at the Spirit King level, and even approaching the Spirit Emperor level after more than twenty days of extreme training.

With this physical strength, Huo Wu's third Spirit Ability really wasn't effective. The skill effect was strong, but it also depended on the opponent.

Ignoring defense also depends on whose defense is being ignored.

When the gap between the two was too large, the effect was not that significant. Besides, Su Ling was still holding her when he resisted it, which also somewhat reduced the effect of the Repulsive Fire Ring.

"I don't believe it. Just now, it must have been because you were holding me that caused my Spirit Ability to lose its effect!" Huo Wu's spirit ring lit up, and she cast the Repulsive Fire Ring again.

Seeing that Huo Wu was going to continue using the Repulsive Fire Ring, Su Ling immediately jumped to a height of four or five meters.

The effective radius of the Repulsive Fire Ring was thirty meters, a diameter of sixty meters. If this Spirit Ability were used continuously on a Douhun Arena of the same level, it would simply be a bug.

Fortunately, this Spirit Ability had a limitation: the height of the effect was only three meters.

As long as one jumped to a height of three meters, the Repulsive Fire Ring would have no effect on Su Ling.

In the novel, when Huo Wu fought Tang San, she also wanted to use this Spirit Ability to knock Tang San out of the competition area, but unfortunately, she failed.

Today, Huo Wu also used the same method to deal with Su Ling.

Fortunately, Su Ling could not only withstand it head-on, but he also knew the function and shortcomings of this Spirit Ability.

"You... actually again..." Huo Wu stopped mid-sentence; otherwise, the weakness of this Spirit Ability would be exposed and known by more people.

Of course, those with keen observation might have already guessed the clue, and Huo Wu didn't dare to continue using it.

Anger was one thing, but some things couldn't be exposed too much.

However, Huo Wu was not the type to admit defeat easily; she had to defeat the man named Su Ling in front of her.

"Very good, very good. Let's see if you can take this move of mine. You had better use your Spirit."

After Huo Wu finished speaking, three spirit rings lit up on her body, and the Fire Shadow Spirit behind her turned incandescent.

spirit ring fusion?

Was Huo Wu going to use her ultimate move now?

spirit ring fusion was not a skill, but a talent!

It could instantly release the Soul Power consumed by her three spirit ring skills all at once.

Or rather, it released a massive amount of Soul Power in an instant to attack the opponent.

"Sister, don't use that move!"

Huo Wushuang quickly reminded her. He was speechless.

How could she expose her ultimate move in an insignificant battle?

But thinking about it, it was normal; his sister's competitive Spirit was not ordinary.

In order to defeat an opponent, she would definitely go all out, even if it meant exposing her strongest attack.

Huo Wu's move was indeed very powerful. If she wanted to withstand it head-on, Su Ling could do that, but that would be giving the goddess too little Face.

So Su Ling felt he should give her a slightly more decent way to lose.

Thus, Su Ling released his Spirit. Su Ling controlled his Soul Power, and the Five Elements transformation only manifested the fire attribute.

Therefore, after Su Ling's Spirit appeared, the bow body was covered in flames.

"You are also a fire-attribute Spirit Master?" Huo Wu asked in surprise.

However, Su Ling didn't respond, but instead said: "You should be careful with this arrow of mine."

Three spirit rings lit up on Su Ling's body. It was the third Spirit Ability of Su Ling's fire-attribute spirit ring: Explosive Flame Arrow!

In the past, this arrow would have no flame explosion when fired; it was just a useless skill.

With the Five Elements Battle Bow, the power of this arrow was different.

The arrow collided exactly with Huo Wu's spirit ring fusion attack, creating a loud bang.

Huo Wu was directly blasted out of the Douhun Arena by the exploding flames in the arena.

Not only that, because the arena was too small, the people watching nearby were also affected to a certain extent, and the scene was chaotic for a moment.

"Sister!"

"Sister Huo Wu!"

Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian rushed toward Huo Wu.

Huo Wu got up from the ground, wiped her mouth with her hand, and said: "I'm fine."

She was not hurt by the flames; after all, she was also a fire-attribute user herself. What hurt was her internal organs from the blast of the explosion.

"Damn it, how dare he hurt my sister Huo Wu? I'm going to kill him."

Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian charged out directly.

Huo Wu quickly said: "Feng Xiaotian, if you dare to attack him, I will never speak to you again."

[Ding... Huo Wu favorability +20, obtained white treasure chest * 8, yellow treasure chest * 3, purple treasure chest * 1]

Su Ling, who was still on the ring, heard the sound of the System and smiled.

When Feng Xiaotian saw Su Ling's smile, he completely lost his composure and turned around to attack Su Ling.

But at this moment, the injured Huo Wu actually flashed and stood in front of Feng Xiaotian, ignoring her own injuries.

"He is my guest; you are not allowed to touch him." After Huo Wu finished speaking, she turned around and walked onto the ring toward Su Ling, completely ignoring Feng Xiaotian behind her.
