And, facing a Defense System Soul Master, Quanyi wasn't quite sure how much force to use in his punches.
After several Soul Fights, Quanyi found that no one at the Great Soul Master level could contend with him.
He didn't even need to use flames; his physical strength alone was enough to crush all Soul Masters of the same rank.
To make the fights more beneficial for his training, Quanyi decided to impose restrictions on himself.
In battle, he never attacked first and generally adopted a defensive stance, using his opponents' attacks to hone his fist techniques.
And when he did attack, he only allowed himself to knock down his opponent with a single punch.
Knocking down opponents with a single punch required a lot from Quanyi, testing both his timing and his control over his strength.
"You're not going to attack? If you wait for me to make a move, you might not even get the chance to attack before you're knocked out," Quanyi said, trying to provoke Wang Qing into attacking.
But Wang Qing's heart was like a rock, unmoved.
Quanyi sighed helplessly.
"Blazing Sun Gauntlets."
Quanyi summoned his Martial Soul and then slowly walked towards Wang Qing.
Soon, one of Quanyi's feet stepped into the opponent's attack range, the distance between them closing rapidly.
But even so, Wang Qing didn't make any move.
Wang Qing simply clenched his fists, holding them tightly against his cheeks.
He didn't seem to have any intention of attacking at all.
With his entire body encased in tortoise shell armor, Quanyi would have to use all his strength to break through the armor and directly attack his body in order to defeat Wang Qing with a single punch.
After testing the waters, Quanyi stopped dawdling. He planted his foot and then suddenly accelerated, his right hand gathering power as he aimed a full-force blow at the heavily defended jaw.
Seeing Quanyi attack, a glint flashed in Wang Qing's eyes. He lowered his arms, which had been guarding his sides, and then activated his First and Second Soul Skills in quick succession.
First Soul Skill, Hard Armor. Effect: Increases the hardness of the tortoise shell armor, increasing defense.
Second Soul Skill, Armor Vibration.
Effect: Allows the tortoise shell armor to generate vibrational force, which can not only deflect the opponent's attacks but also cause counter-damage.
The more intense the opponent's attack, the more damage he himself would suffer.
It was the strongest defense and also the strongest offense.
From the start of the Soul Fight, Wang Qing had feigned weakness, displaying an attitude of never attacking, all for this moment.
As the First Soul Skill was activated, a metallic luster shimmered on the tortoise shell armor, and then each piece of the armor began to hum, generating subtle vibrations.
Quanyi saw the change in the tortoise shell armor, but his expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't realize the urgency of the situation.
Wang Qing clenched his fists, waiting for the moment Quanyi's attack was deflected, then he would use his own fists to shatter his opponent's mask.
Quanyi's right fist collided violently with Wang Qing's tortoise shell armor.
*"Clang."*
The sharp sound of metal clashing directly entered Wang Qing's mind, but at the same time, he instantly lost consciousness.
Quanyi's powerful strike directly shattered the tortoise shell armor that had been enhanced by the First and Second Soul Skills.
Wang Qing's body was sent flying by the powerful force, thrown several meters away.
To break through his opponent's heavy defenses, Quanyi had to use a bit more strength.
The Host didn't expect the match to end so quickly either.
He quickly ran onto the Soul Fight Stage to check on the opponent's condition.
After confirming that Wang Qing had completely lost consciousness, he announced loudly, "The winner, One-Punch Man."
Battles against Defense System Soul Masters often ended in this way, a victory achieved by overwhelming power, which didn't help his growth at all.
Therefore, he hated fighting Defense System Soul Masters.
The only surprise in this match was Wang Qing's vibration power.
If it weren't for Quanyi using Hard Armor to protect his right hand just now, with Quanyi's strength, he might have suffered backlash damage.
But besides that, there was nothing else to see.
"Let's go, Xiao Wu." Saying that, Su Ling'er got up and walked out.
"Ah, did he win already? That was too fast, right?" Huo Wu exclaimed.
Everything happened too fast, so fast that she didn't even react.
She had been full of expectations for the first Soul Fight, but this was completely different from what she had expected.
"Well, no choice, bad luck, ran into a Defense System Soul Master. If it were other types of Soul Masters, the whole process would be more visually appealing." Su Ling'er was already used to this kind of situation.
Faced with this situation, there was really no other way.
"Let's go, Xiao Yi should already be waiting for us outside."
Because Su Ling'er and Huo Wu came out early, they had no obstructions along the way.
Walking out of the Soul Fight Arena, they found Quanyi had been waiting for a long time.
At this time, Quanyi had changed his attire, putting on loose long sleeves and trousers.
These two pieces of clothing seemed to be specially prepared by Quanyi.
Wearing them, Quanyi's distinct muscle lines were completely concealed.
Moreover, the overall outfit had a lazy feeling, making it difficult to associate him with the One-Punch Man on the stage just now.
"Does the Soul Fight Arena have a changing room?" Huo Wu asked suspiciously.
"Of course not."
"Then where did you change your clothes?"
"I put the clothes into the Blazing Sun Heart. I just need to find a hidden place to take them out and put them on. How is it, can't tell after wearing this, right?" Quanyi said triumphantly.
Thanks to the existence of the Storage Soul Tool, otherwise, Quanyi would have had to walk out of the Soul Fight Arena wearing shorts and a mask.
"Mm."
Huo Wu began to look Quanyi's clothes up and down. Usually, she only saw Quanyi wearing school uniforms and short sleeves and shorts, so this sudden change of style made her feel novel.
"By the way, I also want to participate in one-on-one Soul Fights. Can you take me to register later?"
Huo Wu came to the Great Soul Arena today not just to watch the fights, she was also preparing to participate in one-on-one Soul Fights.
Just a month ago, Huo Wu successfully broke through to level twenty.
The day after the breakthrough, Huo Wu took leave to obtain her Second Soul Ring.
Today, a month later, Huo Wu is already a level twenty-one Great Soul Master.
Breaking through to level twenty at the age of less than eight is a rate of improvement that is rare in the history of the entire Soul Master world.
Being able to have her current achievements, in addition to Huo Wu's own talent, is inseparable from her own efforts.
Influenced by Quanyi, Huo Wu's daily training intensity far exceeded the normal range.
For this reason, Huo Wu's time was mostly filled with cultivation, and she rarely had free time.
This was an extremely boring and tedious process, but Huo Wu persevered with amazing perseverance.
Such a performance moved Quanyi as well.
"Have you thought about it? Most of those participating in Soul Fights are Soul Masters above level twenty-five. Although your Martial Soul is uniquely endowed by nature, the gap in Soul Power level is not so easy to make up for." Quanyi did not quite agree with Huo Wu participating in Soul Fights too early.
But Huo Wu's will was equally firm.
"I've thought about it. Only by fighting against people stronger than myself will my actual combat ability improve faster. Besides, who wins and who loses is not certain yet?"
As she spoke, Huo Wu exuded a strong confidence.
Huo Wu was able to say such words, presumably she had something to rely on.
"Alright, let's go register now."
