Chapter 37 - Absolute Trust

"I've adjusted the power to level twenty; this is the difficulty you'll face later," Bai Yan explained.

Bai Yan's First Soul Skill is very fast, at least twice as fast as Huo Wu's First Soul Skill, but Quanyi's eyes can still follow it.

Moreover, this move doesn't have the explosive damage of fire; instead, it's more inclined towards penetrating damage.

From the moment he saw the Soul Skill, Quanyi was constantly thinking about how to deal with it.

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour; timing starts now."

Bai Yan directly took out an incense stick from her chest, lit it, and then stood there, closing her eyes to rest.

She didn't give Quanyi and Huo Wu any time to prepare.

Quanyi immediately reacted, grabbed the still-stunned Huo Wu, and moved away from Bai Yan Teacher.

The two went to the tree where they had been resting and began to discuss in hushed tones.

"What do we do? Our chances of winning are too low. Moreover, Teacher is a flying agility-based Soul Master; even if we want to escape, we can't escape from Teacher."

Huo Wu felt a little flustered and desperate in the face of the overwhelming difference.

However, Quanyi was not intimidated by the gap; his eyes were filled with eagerness.

Quanyi suppressed his excited mood and forced himself to calm down.

"Sigh~, exhale~." Quanyi took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.

"So, you want to give up the fight?"

Huo Wu met Quanyi's eyes; the sharp light in Quanyi's eyes pierced straight into Huo Wu's heart.

What kind of look is this? Why is there not a trace of fear in your eyes; instead, they are full of fighting spirit?

Huo Wu's heart began to beat violently.

Yes, this is a rare practical opportunity, and all I have in my mind are negative thoughts. How can I catch up with Quanyi, how can I become the strongest, if I am like this?

Huo Wu's mind flashed with the oath she made with Quanyi, that moment of infinite passion.

A raging fire seemed to ignite in Huo Wu's heart, and her eyes began to firm up.

"No! If you want me to give up, you'll have to kill me."

She wanted to stand up again; she still wanted to catch up with Quanyi and couldn't retreat here.

"What do I need to do?"

Huo Wu's fighting spirit was reignited, and Quanyi admired the little girl's courage.

"Huo Wu, how many more times can you release your Soul Skill?" Quanyi asked.

To defeat the opponent, you must know yourself and your enemy. Quanyi must understand the specific situation of both sides.

Huo Wu immediately said, "I can release it twelve more times."

"Can you fire continuously?"

"Yes, but it takes time to condense Soul Power; there will be a gap of about one second in between."

"Can you control the trajectory of the fireball?"

"I can't do that yet." Huo Wu's face showed embarrassment.

"It's okay." Quanyi quickly comforted her.

Quanyi pondered for a moment, constantly comparing the gap between the two sides, as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages.

Quanyi seemed to have thought of something, immediately approached Huo Wu, and whispered in Huo Wu's ear, "We'll do this later..."

The quarter of an hour passed quickly, and as the incense burned out, Bai Yan seemed to notice and opened her eyes.

Quanyi and Huo Wu stood one in front of the other, very close together. Quanyi's eyes, full of fighting spirit, stared intently at Bai Yan.

"It seems you are ready. I announce that the battle officially begins."

Bai Yan did not act rashly; her sharp eyes quickly swept over the two, observing Quanyi and Huo Wu.

Quanyi stood in front of Huo Wu, his tall figure completely covering Huo Wu.

The battle-hardened Bai Yan instantly understood their strategy.

They were using Quanyi's First Soul Skill to establish absolute dominance in close combat, preventing Bai Yan from getting close.

Moreover, if Bai Yan wanted to attack the weaker Huo Wu first, she would have to get around Quanyi.

But Huo Wu was right behind Quanyi, so if Bai Yan wanted to attack Huo Wu directly, she would have to endure Quanyi's attack.

Bai Yan admired their strategy.

Especially the fact that the two of them didn't choose to fight separately, but chose to cooperate.

The fact that the two of them could do this meant that Bai Yan's combat training was already more than half successful.

However, this didn't mean that Bai Yan could relax. On the contrary, she had to put even more pressure on them, only then would the two of them become even closer.

"Flame Feather Assault."

Three red feather arrows shot towards Quanyi.

Quanyi was fully focused, observing the trajectory of the three feather arrows.

His right hand quickly condensed gang, and he raised his right hand, using the shield stance from the Quan Family Fist Technique. This was a defensive posture.

Quanyi's hand moved extremely fast, his right hand appearing in the predicted trajectory of the feather arrows in advance.

When the feather arrows hit Quanyi's hard gauntlet, they were immediately deflected, failing to harm Quanyi and Huo Wu in the slightest.

Quanyi didn't choose to face the attack head-on, but instead adopted a clever approach.

He adjusted the angle of his forearm, changing the trajectory of the feather arrows and minimizing the impact force.

Bai Yan's eyes shone with brilliance. She didn't expect the young Quanyi to have such amazing talent in combat.

Very well, then let me test your limits.

Bai Yan flapped her left and right wings continuously, launching two consecutive Flame Feather Assaults.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Six feather arrows shot towards Quanyi at high speed.

Quanyi didn't panic at all, but silently raised his left hand, secretly condensing gang.

Quanyi used Dual-Mindedness with both hands, making precise adjustments for each of the two attacks, deflecting three feather arrows with each hand.

The gap between the two attacks was less than a second, which meant that Quanyi's brain had to think simultaneously and adjust both hands, otherwise he wouldn't be able to perform such an operation.

The advantage of Dual-Mindedness was fully demonstrated in this battle.

Seeing Quanyi easily block her continuous attacks, Bai Yan felt very troubled.

However, Bai Yan didn't slow down her attack.

Bai Yan strode forward with her long legs, quickly circling around Quanyi and Huo Wu. She wanted to use speed to disrupt Quanyi and then seize the opportunity to attack Huo Wu.

However, Quanyi and Huo Wu seemed to have expected this, cooperating perfectly. Quanyi rotated around Huo Wu, and Huo Wu even cooperated with Quanyi by turning her body, always hiding behind Quanyi, not revealing any flaws.

Quanyi was like a thorny shield, not only untouchable, but also very hard. Her attacks couldn't penetrate his defense.

And if she wanted to attack Huo Wu, she had to go through Quanyi. Bai Yan understood Quanyi's intention. He wanted to protect Huo Wu in this way and pass the test together.

However, since a frontal attack was ineffective, then she would attack from above.

If she flew into the air, Quanyi's tall figure would no longer be able to shield Huo Wu. In this way, Bai Yan could directly attack Huo Wu from the air.

Bai Yan flapped her wings and soared into the sky.

She wanted to seize air superiority. Even if Quanyi's defense was strong, Huo Wu behind Quanyi might not be.

Flying into the sky, Bai Yan immediately saw Huo Wu hiding behind Quanyi.

However, the moment Bai Yan saw Huo Wu, her pupils shrank.

"First Soul Skill, Flame Bullet."

An orange-yellow fireball flew towards Bai Yan like a shooting star chasing the moon.

Huo Wu had been waiting for this moment for a long time. From the beginning of the battle, her attention had been completely focused on the sky.

Quanyi is responsible for defense and preventing Bai Yan from getting close. Huo Wu is responsible for attacking and repelling attacks from above.

This was the battle plan that Quanyi proposed.

However, to implement this plan, Huo Wu would need to completely entrust the ground defense to Quanyi, which also meant that Huo Wu had to completely abandon any attacks from the ground.

To do this, Huo Wu had to completely trust Quanyi.

This kind of absolute trust, appearing in a team that had been formed for less than a day, was something no one could have imagined.
