Huo Wu Shuang's anger immediately restored Huo Yun's reason.
His impoliteness towards Quanyi had clearly angered Huo Wu Shuang.
Just as the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, a voice broke the silence.
"It seems everyone is here."
A tall, thin middle-aged man walked towards the group.
Everyone was surprised to see the man's appearance.
He was also someone Quanyi was familiar with, the Dean of the Intermediate Academy, Gao Jie.
Gao Jie was alone, without any followers.
"No way, is the Dean personally coming to teach us?"
A tall student widened his eyes, surprised by the Dean's appearance.
"Hello everyone, most of you should have seen me at the opening ceremony. My name is Gao Jie, and I am the head coach in charge of this year's Team Battle training.
First of all, I want to congratulate you. Everyone here has been left behind as the final members through the Academy's strict selection process. In other words, the eight of you will represent the Blazing Fire Academy in the Pan-continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament in the future."
A month after the start of school, the Academy conducted an internal selection, and the current members were carefully selected after serious discussion by the Academy.
Gao Jie glanced over everyone, nodding secretly.
"Today is the first day, and many of you may not know each other. We won't train today; let's get to know each other first."
Clap! Suddenly, Gao Jie clapped his hands together sharply. Then, he changed the subject, "Without further ado, let's have a one-on-one Soul Fight. As Soul Masters, there's no better way to understand each other." After speaking, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.
Soul Fight. Hearing these words, everyone's eyes changed suddenly, a look of eagerness in their eyes.
Everyone present was a genius teenager with superior qualifications, with their own pride in their hearts, and all had the idea of performing well in this Soul Fight.
The gloomy and aloof young man took a step forward, his eyes rebellious, and asked, "Is it possible to choose the opponent you want?"
"Haha, not bad, you can choose your opponent at will, and the first to choose gets their pick. However, one thing, the person who loses in this Soul Fight must stay and participate in my extracurricular tutoring." Gao Jie's eyes became meaningful when he mentioned the word extracurricular tutoring.
Everyone present understood that the so-called extracurricular tutoring was definitely a punishment.
"Then I choose him."
The aloof young man suddenly pointed his finger at Quanyi.
Quanyi was also surprised to be chosen as an opponent.
"Okay, the two of you stay on the stage, and the others step down to watch."
Gao Jie was decisive, and everyone moved away, leaving space for the two of them.
"I can feel that your strength is the strongest here. But, that also means that as long as I can defeat you, I will be the strongest." The aloof young man stared at Quanyi with sharp eyes.
The aloof young man came from a Primary Academy in a small border town and was a commoner teenager from an ordinary family. With his outstanding talent, he was recommended to the Intermediate Academy.
Ordinary appearance, ordinary family background, except for talent, he didn't have many shining points. Therefore, he was often looked down upon in the Academy.
Therefore, he was eager to show his strength.
As long as he obtains the title of the strongest here, no one will ever look down on him again.
Courage is commendable. But reckless. Quanyi briefly commented in his heart.
Quanyi didn't reply, and hooked his fingers, extremely provocative.
The aloof young man snorted coldly and said, "Lin Meng, Martial Soul: Fire Leopard, level 26 Power Attack System Beast Soul Master."
*Martial Soul Avatar.*
Lin Meng's body flashed with red light, and mottled leopard patterns appeared on the surface of his body. Sharp leopard claws extended from his hands, and a fiery aura erupted.
Two yellow Soul Rings appeared behind him.
"Good talent, and his strength looks okay, but he's still a bit far from Quanyi." Huo Wu said from the side.
Huo Wu's words attracted everyone's attention.
Twelve years old, level twenty-six, and a Martial Soul that's a Fire-attribute leopard, a rare and powerful Martial Soul.
Lin Meng is indeed a young genius Soul Master, a formidable opponent to everyone present.
Everyone's gaze immediately turned to Quanyi.
"Quanyi, Martial Soul: Blazing Sun Gauntlets, level thirty-eight Power Attack System Tool Soul Master."
The words were astonishing, and everyone doubted their ears. Lin Meng, facing Quanyi, widened his eyes even more.
"Wait, wait, level thirty-eight? Did I hear that right?" Lin Meng's aloof demeanor completely vanished.
His face panicked, and he asked urgently, "Big brother! How old are you?"
Quanyi's lips curled into a charming smile. He said mysteriously, "Secret."
He tapped his right foot, and his body flew rapidly towards Lin Meng.
"So fast!" Quanyi's explosive speed brought unprecedented pressure to Lin Meng; at that moment, he didn't even have time to think about anything else.
Lin Meng raised his right hand, and the yellow Soul Ring behind him flashed.
"First Soul Skill, Fire Howl."
Scorching flames spewed from Lin Meng's right hand.
The instantaneous, linear attack quickly collided with Quanyi, who was charging straight ahead.
"Success." A look of joy flashed in Lin Meng's eyes. Quanyi's straight charge was fast, but it lacked the variations of an Agility Attack System, so it was easier to target with his First Soul Skill.
Just as Lin Meng wanted to increase his Soul Power input and amplify the flame's power, a figure flashed before Lin Meng's eyes.
"How is that possible?"
*"Bang!"* A sharp pain came from his abdomen. His Soul Power also became chaotic, and his palm could no longer maintain the flames.
Lin Meng clutched his abdomen with both hands, knelt on the ground, and began to retch.
When did this guy get close?
More than the pain, Lin Meng wanted to know this.
In fact, the reason was simple: Quanyi, at the instant the flames were about to hit, used even greater speed to evade the attack.
Simple visual misdirection, and speed so fast that one couldn't react, created a 'teleportation' effect.
Lin Meng in front couldn't see it because of the firelight, but it was clear to the spectators.
"Did he not summon his Martial Soul just now?" Huo Yun's expression changed drastically, and he asked incredulously.
Huo Yun was the one who observed Quanyi most carefully, so he was also the quickest to notice this and raise the question.
"Yes, and Quanyi didn't use Soul Power at all during the entire process." Gao Jie, the strongest, explained to everyone.
"Without using Soul Power, does that mean he's this fast with just his body?"
Absolute physical quality, unreasonably powerful.
No Martial Soul, just pure physical attacks.
Everyone fell silent; in their eyes, Quanyi's figure began to appear incomparably tall.
Gao Jie looked at Quanyi and couldn't help but praise in his heart, "To think he would be this strong."
Quanyi hadn't used much force, only temporarily incapacitating Lin Meng, without causing any physical damage.
The One-Punch Man training allowed him to perfectly master this technique.
Sure enough, after retching for a while, Lin Meng felt much better, and the pain in his abdomen quickly disappeared.
After the battle, Quanyi helped Lin Meng up and walked off the stage.
The battle would continue.
"Next group."
As soon as Gao Jie finished speaking, Huo Wu raised her hand first.
"Me, I'll go."
Seeing Quanyi showing off in front of everyone, Huo Wu's fighting spirit was also ignited.
