Chapter 446: The Male Protagonist's Strategy
The limit of the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique is 81 strikes, converging into one, but the fighting arena was simply too small, and the distance between Tang Wulin and the Netherworld White Tiger was too close. Even with the added power of the Bow Soul Technique, Tang Wulin could only manage thirty six strikes in rapid succession.
At this moment, Tang Wulin's mind was filled with memories of cultivating with Huo Yu'er, and his murderous intent towards the Netherworld White Tiger became even more pronounced. Though Tang Wulin knew that his attack wouldn't be enough to kill the beast, he was determined to prevent it from continuing to harm his teammates.
"Ha!" "Roar!"
Both sides struck mercilessly, and the ground beneath them cracked from the intensity of their battle, causing the teachers in the stands to gasp.
"Terrifying! And this is only a freshman from the first year."
"With this strength, they could easily join the inner academy."
"Yes, but that little girl's combat ability was impressive too. She must be from Teacher Zhou's class; seeing such an excellent student, I can't help but feel envious."
The old witch like Zhou Yi simply smiled awkwardly, not chiming in. She hadn't expected Huo Yu'er, who usually trained like a silent bamboo, to possess such strength. Zhou Yi then stared deeply at Tang Wulin's back. With her keen perception, she naturally recognized the long rumored Haotian Hammer.
"Dual Soul Weapons? And the Haotian Clan's Hammer?"
"It seems I can't target that girl anymore. With such a strong bond between them, I might end up making a mistake."
The fighters on the arena were too focused on defeating each other to pay attention to the adult world's gossip. Meanwhile, Huo Yu'er, who had just been struck by a sonic attack, felt a strong internal pain. Watching Tang Wulin fight the Netherworld White Tiger, she felt a surge of unwillingness and hatred.
"Can I really deal a heavy blow to him in my current condition?" For the first time, Huo Yu'er doubted herself. But looking at Tang Wulin's fierce battle, she suddenly felt that this person might become her support, the one to help her seek revenge on the Haotian Clan.
"Foolish girl~" Suddenly, Ye Wen's voice echoed in Huo Yu'er's mind.
Startled, Huo Yu'er froze. She wondered if her earlier thoughts of wanting to rely on someone had been heard by her master. Ye Wen always taught her to be self reliant, so why had she considered depending on others? She felt ashamed and scolded herself.
Seeing Huo Yu'er barely standing, covered in blood and looking quite disheveled, Xiao Xiao rushed over with concern.
"Yu'er, are you alright? If it's too much, we can just forfeit."
"No," Huo Yu'er instinctively refused.
After years of failure, especially in front of her enemies, Huo Yu'er couldn't stand the thought of retreating. Even if it was just once, she wanted to make her opponent pay.
Under overwhelming strength, Tang Wulin was finally sent flying out, breaking through the image Huo Yu'er had of him.
Ye Wen, watching from the stands, smiled lightly. He had sensed something was off the moment Tang Wulin made his move. The divine power of Tang San was subtly altering his Soul Spirit, seemingly attempting to bond with Huo Yu'er's soul to form a fusion technique.
In the original story, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had formed a fusion technique with three soul weapons, which, of course, wasn't without its tricks. But with Ye Wen's intervention, Tang San's plan would fail.
Still, Ye Wen analyzed the situation: Huo Yu'er didn't have the chance to win. In the original story, Huo Yuhao won because they also used a fusion technique. Therefore, only a fusion technique could defeat another fusion technique.
Would Ye Wen let Huo Yu'er lose?
Failure is the mother of success, but necessary success is irreplaceable.
Looking at the enemy who killed her mother, Ye Wen didn't want Huo Yu'er to fail tragically. He sent a voice transmission to her.
"If you fail this assessment, you'll have to train with me for the next month."
Huo Yu'er, who had been planning to charge again, pouted at the thought. However, what Ye Wen said next made her ecstatic.
"Watch carefully, Little Yu'er. This is the ultimate secret of the Six Styles."
Suddenly, the aura around Huo Yu'er shifted faintly, but the onlookers couldn't discern the change.
"Xiao Xiao, take Tang Wulin and leave the arena. It's my turn to fight now." Ye Wen spoke calmly.
Xiao Xiao, still holding off the Netherworld White Tiger with the Three Lives Soul Restraining Cauldron, paused, and then Ye Wen took control of Huo Yu'er's body, becoming a fleeting shadow as she rushed at the Netherworld White Tiger.
At that moment, Ye Wen's voice echoed in Huo Yu'er's mind again.
"The Six Styles aren't just six self created soul skills. When you've mastered all six, a seventh technique will emerge. Its name: Life Restoration "
In the next second, Huo Yu'er's figure appeared at the side of the Netherworld White Tiger's waist.
Ye Wen's voice continued, "Reptiles, especially those focused on their heads and forelimbs, are weakest in their waist and abdomen. Always aim here."
With that, Ye Wen launched a powerful punch.
Life Restoration was the perfect control over every muscle and cell in the body, reaching an extraordinary, superhuman state. All of Huo Yu'er's strength was focused into one point, and the resulting punch created a deep dent in the Netherworld White Tiger's abdomen, sending it flying.
"Roar !"
The intense pain caught the Netherworld White Tiger off guard, and it let out a pitiful roar as it was sent flying several meters away.
The previously one sided battle had taken a dramatic turn, and the onlookers were stunned.
Ye Wen didn't rush to finish the fight but instead kept tossing punches and kicks from his position.
After a while, the Netherworld White Tiger recovered, glaring at Ye Wen.
"Come, beast." Ye Wen's controlled Huo Yu'er spoke coldly.
