In the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, two figures constantly intersected in high-speed movement, with purple-gold dragon shadows and blue-white lightning carving out dazzling trajectories in the air.
"Swish!"
Xu Tianyi's dragon claw tore through the air, but only caught the lingering electric arcs left by Xu Wei.
Xu Wei's figure re-condensed a few meters away, breathing slightly, but his eyes remained calm.
"Are you only capable of running?"
Xu Tianyi said coldly, purple-gold dragon scales faintly shimmering on his skin. The numbness in his left arm had subsided, but the prolonged chase also made his breathing slightly hurried.
Xu Wei did not answer, merely staring intently at Xu Tianyi, lightning flowing around his body.
He had already seen through Xu Tianyi's objective: to force him to continuously use Spirit Abilities to deplete his spirit power. The moment his spirit power was exhausted would likely be the time Xu Tianyi launched his final attack.
Xu Wei sneered inwardly. Xu Tianyi's plan was quite good, but he had miscalculated one thing!
His First Spirit Skill, Lightning Flash, did not increase attack power, nor did it consume spirit power to grant physical attack immunity unless hit.
Therefore, simply boosting speed did not actually consume much of his spirit power.
However, facing Xu Tianyi's terrifying physical suppression, he dared not attack rashly.
The Purple Bright Heaven Extinguishing Dragon's defense and strength far surpassed those of its peers; once he was hit head-on, he would undoubtedly lose.
"Xu Tianyi's speed is clearly inferior to Xu Wei's, but Xu Wei's attacks simply cannot break through his defense."
Kong Ling watched the situation in the Soul Fighting Arena, analyzing in a low voice.
"If this continues, this battle will turn into a war of attrition. I really didn't expect Xu Wei to be able to fight Xu Tianyi like this!"
Looking at Xu Wei's slightly slender figure below, a hint of surprise flashed in Kong Ling's eyes. She had to admit that she had underestimated her brother's roommate.
In the Soul Fighting Arena, Xu Tianyi's expression was slightly grim at this moment.
Just as Xu Wei had guessed, his plan was to suppress his opponent with his powerful physique, forcing him to exhaust his spirit power, but he truly hadn't expected Xu Wei to be able to hold on for so long.
Xu Tianyi felt annoyed, but besides this, there seemed to be no other way in the current situation.
He stepped out again, his dragon claw aiming directly for Xu Wei's throat.
In this situation, it could only come down to who gave up first!
Xu Wei's eyes narrowed, and the lightning flashed again.
However, just as he was about to transform into lightning...
A silver gleam, like a meteor, descended from the sky, heavily embedding itself in the ground between the two, and the terrifying shockwave instantly pushed Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei back several steps.
The two looked at the familiar long spear in the arena, then simultaneously looked towards the audience stands above the Soul Fighting Arena.
Kong Xuan slowly retracted his throwing motion; the sky-supporting spear was already embedded in the arena, its shaft trembling, its residual power still lingering.
"Alright!"
He spoke indifferently, his voice not loud, but carrying an unquestionable authority.
Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi exchanged glances, one with unwilling eyes, the other with a complex expression.
Kong Xuan leaped down, landing gracefully, his gaze sweeping over the two: "This match will be a draw."
Xu Tianyi frowned, about to retort, but Kong Xuan had already continued: "Xu Wei cannot break your defense, and you cannot catch his speed. Continuing to fight is meaningless."
Xu Tianyi opened his mouth, but said nothing more, accepting the outcome.
"My spirit power is lower than yours, yet you couldn't take me down. Do you still dare to underestimate me now?"
Xu Wei's voice carried an undisguised smugness, and his gaze towards Xu Tianyi was full of provocation.
Xu Tianyi's dragon scales on his right arm slowly receded, his pupils still tinged with purple, directly meeting Xu Wei's gaze.
To Xu Wei's surprise, he neither flew into a rage nor sneered. Instead, he was silent for a moment, then made a move that shocked him.
He lowered his head slightly, his voice deep but clear: "I was wrong!"
Xu Wei's smile froze on his face, his eyes widening slightly.
"I truly underestimated you before!"
Xu Tianyi raised his head, his eyes more serious than ever: "Your First Spirit Skill... is very strong!"
Xu Wei stood frozen, for a moment not knowing how to respond.
He had intended to say something sarcastic, but choked when he saw Xu Tianyi's frank eyes.
"You..." Xu Wei finally just said dryly: "It's good that you know."
Xu Tianyi's reaction also exceeded the expectations of both Kong Xuan and Kong Ling.
They hadn't expected this proud royal member to have such a side.
Kong Ling, who had initially held some prejudice against him, now felt as if she was seeing Xu Tianyi anew.
Kong Xuan had long seen that Xu Tianyi's inherent pride did not stem from arrogance, but from a pure pursuit of strength.
Such a person would never be blinded by so-called face.
In the future, he might become a good friend.
However, given his royal background, would this draw him into the struggles of the imperial family?
Just as Kong Xuan was pondering these questions, Xu Wei leaned over and whispered, "This guy... is quite unexpected."
Kong Xuan glanced at him and smiled, "You two seem to be developing a mutual appreciation."
"What are you talking about?!" Xu Wei immediately retorted, glancing at Xu Tianyi, "I just think he's not as obnoxious as before."
Kong Ling also came into the Soul Fighting Arena at this time, looking at Xu Wei curiously: "What exactly is your Spirit?"
As future classmates and partners, one's Spirit and Spirit are not secrets, so asking this was not offensive.
Xu Tianyi, who had been silent on the other side, also cast his gaze, clearly very interested in this question as well.
Xu Wei did not hide anything and directly said, "My Spirit is the elemental Spirit, Lightning."
Having received careful instruction from Kong Deming, Kong Ling naturally possessed a good deal of knowledge about Spirits. She then asked, "Among elemental Spirits, the lightning element is quite rare. However, with a lightning element, why didn't you choose the attack system path?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wei's face twisted into a pained expression, and he said with a wronged look, "I really did want to take the attack system path back then. The Spirit Beast I hunted for my First spirit ring was also a Thunder Roaring Rhino. Who would have thought that the Spirit Ability I ultimately gained had no attack power at all? According to records, the Thunder Roaring Rhino has never been known to grant the Spirit Ability I obtained."
Hearing Xu Wei's explanation, everyone looked at him with much stranger expressions; such an encounter was indeed peculiar.
A Thunder Roaring Rhino, by its name, sounded like a rhino-shaped lightning-attribute Spirit Beast. Even obtaining a defense-type Spirit Ability would be more normal than obtaining an agility-attack system Spirit Ability, since Thunder Roaring Rhinos are not at all skilled in speed.
However, in Kong Xuan's mind, his teacher Yun Ming's voice echoed: "The Thunder Roaring Rhino, nearly extinct ten thousand years later, possesses a divine skill of lightning transformation, but only a very few Spirit Beasts can acquire it through beneficial mutation. Your roommate seems to have very good luck!"
Teacher Yun Ming was practically a living encyclopedia; he seemed to know about every field of knowledge.
After Yun Ming's explanation, Kong Xuan felt that perhaps people of this era had not yet discovered this divine skill of the Thunder Roaring Rhino.
He patted Xu Wei's shoulder, looking at his slightly dejected expression, and said, "Although you didn't gain an attack system Spirit Ability, your Spirit Ability can certainly be called a divine skill."
The silent Xu Tianyi also spoke at this moment: "Exactly. If your First Spirit Skill had been an attack system one, I definitely would have defeated you just now!"
Xu Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes upon hearing this, but he had to admit that it was indeed the truth.
Thinking this way, his mood instantly improved a lot.
Kong Ling then pointed to the Timing spirit tool not far away and said, "We finally managed to get access to the Soul Fighting Arena; we can't waste time. What's next?"
Watching Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi's battle earlier, she also felt a bit eager to fight!
