Chapter 27 Xu Wei: He's not that bad, is he?
In the center of the arena, two figures moved at high speed, constantly intersecting, with purple-gold dragon shadows and blue-white lightning drawing dazzling trajectories in the air.
"Whoosh!"
Xu Tianyi's dragon claw tore through the air, but only managed to grab the remaining arc of electricity left by Xu Wei.
Xu Wei's figure re-emerged a few meters away, slightly out of breath, but his eyes remained calm.
"Is all you can do to run away?"
Xu Tianyi said coldly, the purple-gold dragon scales shimmering faintly on his skin. The numbness in his left arm had subsided, but the long chase had made his breathing slightly rapid.
Xu Wei did not answer, but stared intently at Xu Tianyi, lightning swirling around him.
He had already figured out Xu Tianyi's purpose: to force him to continuously use his soul skills to deplete his soul power. The moment his soul power was exhausted would be the time for Xu Tianyi to launch his final attack.
Xu Wei sneered inwardly. Xu Tianyi's plan was quite good, but he miscalculated one thing!
His first soul skill, Lightning Flash, does not increase attack power, nor does it consume soul power to become immune to physical attacks when he is not hit.
Therefore, simply increasing speed does not actually consume much of his soul power.
However, faced with Xu Tianyi's terrifying physical strength, he dared not attack rashly.
Zihuang Mietianlong's defense and strength far surpass those of others of the same level. If he were to be hit head-on by him, he would undoubtedly be defeated.
"Xu Tianyi's speed is clearly not as fast as Xu Wei's, but Xu Wei's attacks cannot break through his defense at all."
Kong Ling observed the situation in the Soul Arena and analyzed it in a low voice.
"At this rate, this battle will turn into a war of attrition. I never expected Xu Wei to be able to fight Xu Tianyi to this extent!"
Looking at Xu Wei's slightly thin figure below, Kong Ling's eyes flashed with surprise. She had to admit that she had underestimated her brother's roommate.
In the arena, Xu Tianyi's expression was slightly somber.
Just as Xu Wei had guessed, his plan was to use his powerful physique to suppress his opponent and force him to exhaust his soul power, but he never expected that Xu Wei would be able to hold on for so long.
Xu Tianyi was frustrated, but there seemed to be nothing he could do about the situation at the moment.
He charged forward again, his dragon claw aimed straight for Xu Wei's throat.
In this situation, it's just a matter of who gives up first!
Xu Wei's eyes narrowed, and lightning flashed again.
However, just as he was about to transform into lightning...
"Clang...!"
A silver beam descended from the sky like a meteor, striking the ground between the two men. The terrifying shockwave instantly forced Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei back several steps.
The two looked at the familiar spear in the arena, and simultaneously glanced at the audience seats above the arena.
Kong Xuan slowly withdrew his throwing motion. The Sky-Piercing Spear was already firmly planted in the field, its shaft trembling, its residual power still lingering.
"alright!"
He spoke softly, his voice not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi exchanged a glance, one with resentment in his eyes and the other with a complicated expression.
Xu Wei leaped down, landing lightly, and glanced at the two of them: "Let's call this a draw."
Xu Tianyi frowned, about to retort, but Kong Xuan continued, "Xu Wei can't break your defense, and you can't keep up with his speed. There's no point in continuing the fight."
Xu Tianyi opened his mouth, but said nothing more, accepting the outcome.
"Your soul power is lower than mine, yet you still couldn't defeat me. Do you still dare to underestimate me now?"
Xu Wei's voice was filled with undisguised smugness, and his gaze toward Xu Tianyi was full of provocation.
The dragon scales on Xu Tianyi's right arm slowly faded, and his still purple pupils stared directly at Xu Wei.
To Xu Wei's surprise, he neither flew into a rage nor sneered, but remained silent for a moment before making a move that shocked him.
He lowered his head slightly, his voice low but clear: "I was wrong!"
Xu Wei's smile froze on his face, and his eyes widened slightly.
I did underestimate you before!
Xu Tianyi raised his head, his eyes unusually serious: "Your first soul skill... is very strong!"
Xu Wei stood there, stunned, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
He wanted to say something sarcastic, but he choked up when he saw Xu Tianyi's honest eyes.
"You..." Xu Wei finally said dryly, "It's good that you know."
Xu Tianyi's reaction was also unexpected by Kong Xuan and Kong Ling.
Who would have thought that this proud member of the royal family had this side to him?
Kong Ling, who had previously held some prejudice against him, now seemed to have a completely new understanding of Xu Tianyi.
Kong Xuan had long seen that Xu Tianyi's pride did not stem from arrogance, but from a pure pursuit of strength.
Such a person will never be blinded by the so-called "face".
In the future, we might become good friends.
But since the other party is from the royal family, will this involve getting involved in the royal family's power struggles?
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 laughed, "You two seem to be showing mutual respect, huh?"
"What?!" Xu Wei immediately retorted, glancing at Xu Tianyi and saying, "I just feel that he's not as bad as he used to be."
Kong Ling arrived at the Soul Arena at this moment and looked at Xu Wei curiously, asking, "What exactly is your Martial Soul?"
As future classmates and partners, martial spirits are not exactly a secret, so asking this question is not offensive.
Xu Tianyi, who was standing to the other side, also turned his gaze upon hearing this, clearly very interested in the question as well.
Xu Wei didn't hide anything and said directly, "My martial soul is the elemental martial soul lightning."
After Kong Deming's careful instruction, Kong Ling naturally gained a lot of knowledge about martial spirits. She then asked, "Among elemental martial spirits, lightning is considered rare. However, you, who possess lightning, did not choose the path of forceful attack?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wei also put on a pained expression and said with a wronged look, "I did want to take the offensive route back then. The first soul ring I hunted was the Thunder Fighting Rhinoceros. Who would have thought that the soul skill I obtained in the end would have no offensive power at all? According to the records, the Thunder Fighting Rhinoceros never had this soul skill that I obtained."
Upon hearing Xu Wei's explanation, the others looked at him with much more curiosity; such an encounter was indeed peculiar.
Thunderous Rhinoceros sounds like a rhinoceros-like thunder-attribute soul beast. Even if it obtains a defensive soul skill, it would be more normal than obtaining an agility-based soul skill, since Thunderous Rhinoceros is not good at speed at all.
In Kong Xuan's mind, however, came the voice of his teacher, Yun Ming: "The Thunderous Fighting Rhinoceros was nearly extinct after ten thousand years. It possessed a divine skill of lightning transformation, but only a very few soul beasts could acquire it through benign mutation. Your roommate seems to be very lucky!"
Teacher Yunming is practically a living encyclopedia; it seems he knows everything about every aspect of knowledge.
After Yunming's explanation, Kong Xuan felt that people of this era probably hadn't yet discovered the divine skill of Thunderous Rhinoceros Fighting.
He patted Xu Wei on the shoulder and looked at him, who looked a little downcast, and said, "Although you didn't get a powerful offensive soul skill, this soul skill of yours can still be called a divine skill."
Xu Tianyi, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up: "That's right, if your first soul skill was a power attack type, I could definitely 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 about it this way, his mood instantly improved a lot.
Kong Ling then pointed to the timer soul tool not far away and said, "We finally managed to get into the Soul Arena, so we can't waste time. What's next?"
Watching Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi fight just now, she was itching to join in!
