After seeing Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi off, Tuoba Yan played with the gilded invitation in his room.
For most people, receiving an invitation to a banquet by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire is a great honor in life.
Because of his status, Tuoba Yan didn't see this as a favor. He was, in fact, a "royal relative" of the Spirit Hall. It wasn't that he was currying favor with others; rather, others were currying favor with him.
Xueqing River is Qianren Snow.
What is Qian Renxue's purpose?
Tuoba Yan guessed that they wanted to take this opportunity to let Tuoba Yan, the future backbone of the Spirit Hall, get familiar with the backbone of the future hostile empire in advance.
The genius exchange meeting brings together the geniuses of the Tiandou Empire.
Anyone who is regarded as a genius by Xue Qinghe will definitely be the backbone of the future empire.
In other words, Qian Renxue was planning ahead, laying the foundation for the Spirit Hall to dominate the Douluo Continent.
"Let's take a walk and have a look."
After practicing for a while, Tuoba Yan walked out of the room and strolled on the bustling street, where the sound of shouting could be heard everywhere.
"Tuoba Yan!"
Suddenly, someone in front called Tuoba Yan's name.
Tuoba Yan raised his head.
The other person had red hair and was wearing red clothes. He looked like a dazzling flame among the crowd.
"Huo Wu!"
"Tuoba Yan, let's fight!"
"Are you sick? You caught me to spar with me!" Tuoba Yan rolled his eyes at Huo Wu, too lazy to pay attention to her.
When Tuoba Yan wanted to go around Huo Wu, Huo Wu took a step to the right and blocked Tuoba Yan's way.
Huo Wu said firmly, "Don't refuse. Things at the auction aren't over yet!"
Tuoba Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a disdainful tone: "Are you my opponent? I remember that you are now a second-ring great soul master."
Huo Wu is a second-ring soul master, but Tuoba Yan is a fourth-ring soul master.
There is a huge difference in the soul power levels between the two.
Tuoba Yan was confident that he could defeat Huo Wu in less than three moves.
Huo Wu clenched her hands slightly and said, "Fight with me, don't refuse. This is about the dignity of my Huo family. Follow me!"
With that, Huo Wu turned and headed towards the city gate.
Tuoba Yan hesitated for a moment, looking at the bustling street. Thinking that there was nothing else to do and that he wanted to stretch his legs after his strength had improved, he followed Huo Wu out of Tian Dou City.
In the suburbs, Huo Wu walked all the way to the edge of the woods outside the city and stopped.
Huo Wu praised, "Tuoba Yan, you have a lot of guts."
Tuoba Yan smiled slightly. "Did you ask me out to praise me?"
Two yellow spirit rings appeared under Huo Wu's feet, and a red humanoid figure appeared behind her. Her specific facial features could not be seen. Only the vague outline of a woman could be seen.
"Huo Wu, my spirit form is Fire Shadow, and I'm a Level 22 offensive spirit master. Please teach me!"
"Tuoba Yan, Martial Soul Saint Master, Level 47 All-Around Soul Master. Please enlighten me!"
Both sides reported their names and soul master levels to each other, which was equivalent to a fair battle.
Huo Wu looked surprised, her eyes widening. "Level 47? You just got your fourth spirit ring not long ago. Your spirit power level has reached level 47?"
Tuoba Yan nodded.
By absorbing the remaining energy of the Meteor Fire Mother Crystal, obtaining a fourth soul ring that lasted for ten thousand years, and with the help of the immortal grass, Tuoba Yan's soul power level soared to level forty-seven.
Huo Wu wrinkled her hands slightly.
The two parties are of similar age, but their cultivation levels differ by more than twice.
Huo Wu thought she was a genius, but she never expected to meet a genius in the world.
In Huo Wu's heart, she had to admit that Tuoba Yan was the king of the children.
Tuoba Yan, less than nine years old, already possessed the cultivation level of most adults under forty. Countless young people could only look up at Tuoba Yan's back.
"All-rounder?"
Huo Wu was startled, catching the key words in Tuoba Yan's self-introduction, and asked curiously, "What is the all-round system?"
Tuoba Yan remained calm, without a trace of arrogance. "Soul Masters are divided into offensive, support, control, healing, and agility types, and I possess all five, making me an all-rounder! I won't bully you; if you can force me to use my Martial Soul, then you'll win this battle."
"Counts?" Huo Wu repeated Tuoba Yan's key words, somewhat displeased, "I, Huo Wu, don't need your permission. Use your martial spirit!"
"If I use my Martial Soul, you won't last three moves against me. If I don't use my Martial Soul, you can last a little longer."
"Don't underestimate me. Use your martial spirit. If I can force you to use your third soul skill, then you lose."
Despite Tuoba Yan's courtesy, Huo Wu felt unappreciative.
To Huo Wu, Tuoba Yan's courtesy was an insult to her.
She is a fierce woman. A fierce woman like fire.
Seemingly competitive, fierce, and domineering, she actually has a firm bottom line that she is determined to protect.
If someone tries to force himself on her, she will fight to the death rather than let the other person succeed.
Tuoba Yan smiled confidently and said, "First force me to use my martial spirit!"
For some reason, when fighting against Huo Wu, who was of the same age as her, perhaps because of Huo Wu's personality, Tuoba Yan had the illusion that he was playing with a child.
"First Soul Skill: Roaring Flames!"
A raging fire burst out from Huo Wu's body.
The grass beneath Huo Wu's feet was withering at a visible rate.
Roaring flames, this is Huo Wu's first soul skill.
Huo Wu briefly injects the flame energy of her spirit "Fire Shadow" into herself or a designated target, creating a burning state that lasts for 5 seconds.
While in this state, the target's movement speed increases by 30% and its attack power increases by 40%.
The release speed of fire attribute soul skills is increased by 20%, and all fire attribute attacks have a "burning" effect.
It can cause continuous damage to the enemy every second, equivalent to 10% of Huo Wu's own soul strength, lasting for 3 seconds.
The burning effect can stack within three seconds, reaching a maximum of 50%.
Huo Wu took a step, each step burning a black footprint in the grass. She ran towards Tuoba Yan.
A palm was swung out, forming layers of heat waves.
Tuoba Yan sighed inwardly, "Too slow!"
Even without using the Golden Eye Martial Soul, Tuoba Yan could easily capture the attack trajectory of Huo Wu's palm by relying on his current Lingyuan realm.
Tuoba Yan tilted his neck and easily avoided Huo Wu's attack.
The attack failed, and Huo Wu changed her palm to a chopping motion, slashing diagonally towards Tuoba Yan's neck.
Huo Wu's slashing motion carried a fierce wind, as if the edge of her palm would scorch the air.
Tuoba Yan's feet seemed to have the wind, and his body slightly turned to the side. The palm wind that was strong enough to split the rock passed by his shoulder, only singeing a few strands of hair that were blown by the heat wave.
"Tsk."
Huo Wu let out a light spat from her throat, turned her wrist sharply, and sank down with the inertia of the air strike, and her elbow hit Tuoba Yan's waist like an iron spike.
Her movements were seamlessly connected, every inch of her muscles bulged due to the burning state, and the flames moved under her skin, making every effort carry a scorching temperature.
But Tuoba Yan seemed to have eyes on his back. He twisted his waist slightly and created a distance of half a foot. Huo Wu's elbow slammed heavily into the air, causing grass debris on the ground to fly and the charred soil to be overturned by the energy.
The two consecutive failures ignited a stronger fighting spirit in Huo Wu's eyes.
She stomped her left foot on the ground, and the burning footprint instantly exploded into a half-foot-high wall of fire. Taking advantage of this brief period of blindness, she swept her right leg out like a steel whip, and the flames at her ankle condensed into a half-inch-long flaming blade.
This whip kick was accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, and its angle was so tricky that it was aimed directly at Tuoba Yan's knee.
Tuoba Yan raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips. His mental power, comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, had already taken in the movements of Huo Wu's muscles and the flow of her soul power.
He doesn't even need to consciously anticipate; his body reacts instinctively.
With a slight lift of her left leg and a light touch of her toes on the ground, she floated backward like a willow catkin, just avoiding the sharp edge of the flame blade.
Huo Wu's whip kick, tinged with flames, swept across the place where he had just stood, and a charred gully suddenly appeared on the ground.
"Still hiding?!"
Huo Wu was aroused and rolled forward the moment she landed to avoid possible counterattacks. At the same time, her palms crossed in front of her chest, drawing a trail of fire.
The soul power in the burning state drives the residual power of the first soul skill.
Her knuckles turned crimson, and her punches, carrying waves of heat, rained down on Tuoba Yan like a storm. Straight punches aimed at his face, hooks at his ribs, and sweeping punches at his temples. Each punch carried a scorching force, making the air hiss.
But Tuoba Yan's figure always looked like a ghost moving through the flames.
He sometimes leaned sideways, sometimes leaned back, and even occasionally stretched out his fingers to lightly deflect Huo Wu's powerful fist.
Huo Wu's fist brushed past the tip of his nose, and the scorching air wave made his eyelashes tremble slightly, but he didn't even blink. The next second, he appeared beside Huo Wu, avoiding her elbow that followed.
Huo Wu became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
She could feel that her speed and strength had reached their peak with the help of her soul skills.
Each move embodies years of hard-trained fighting skills, but the opponent seems to be standing outside the torrent of time, always able to avoid all attacks half a step in advance.
She could even see the almost leisurely calm in Tuoba Yan's eyes, as if this fierce battle was nothing more than a stroll in the courtyard for him.
"drink!"
Huo Wu suddenly lowered her waist and punched the ground with both fists at the same time. Flames flowed down her arms into the soil, instantly igniting a fan-shaped wave of fire.
This is a range attack she launched while in combat stance. The scorching air waves are enough to melt steel.
However, Tuoba Yan just pointed his toes, and his body rose up like green smoke. The fire wave exploded under his feet, but it didn't even touch his clothes.
As they fell, Tuoba Yan even had the luxury of gently brushing off the nonexistent dust. Looking at Huo Wu, who had regained her balance, her chest rising and falling slightly, he said calmly, "Do you want to continue?"
