Chapter 148 Special Circumstances
"The match is over, Heaven Dou Royal Academy has won!"
As the referee's loud and passionate voice rang out, the entire arena was instantly ignited, and the audience erupted in deafening cheers and applause, creating an atmosphere so intense it seemed to lift the roof off.
Just after the results of the competition were announced, Wu Heyi led his teammates in a tight hug, tears of excitement streaming down their faces. They wept with joy, fully releasing their inner happiness and excitement.
This victory was significant for them, as it almost guaranteed them the championship trophy.
However, while the other team members were basking in the joy of victory, Wu Heyi did not let his guard down at all.
His sharp eyes pierced through the crowd, staring straight at the figure outside the arena—Tang San.
Indeed, after this fierce battle, Wu Heyi's true strength has been fully revealed.
Recalling the previous match between the New Divine Wind Team and Tianshui Academy, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wushuang were able to unleash powerful Soul Emperor-level strength.
On the one hand, it stems from the enormous potential of the two individuals and their unique martial soul attributes that fit the armor's attributes; on the other hand, it benefits from the explosive power they unleash after perfectly fusing with the armor.
But now, when Wu Heyi uses the power of the armor, Tang San keenly senses that the combat power he can unleash has actually reached the Soul Emperor level!
Back then, each time Wu Heyi obtained a spirit ring, the armor only increased his combat power by about two levels.
But now, after successfully acquiring five spirit rings, the improvement has reached an astonishing leap.
Such an astonishing growth rate undoubtedly made Tang San look at Wu Heyi with new eyes and feel wary of him.
If we turn back time to before Wu Heyi advanced to the level of a Soul King, although he could use Soul King-level abilities at that stage, even so, although he could use such powerful forces ahead of time, it would also bring huge side effects.
However, at this very moment, Tang San keenly sensed that the aftereffects of Wu Heyi's once-feared soul skill seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
Wu Heyi first summoned an indestructible suit of armor, and then quickly switched to another form of armor.
Moreover, after unleashing two different soul skills in succession, he did not experience any predicament of having his soul power, physical strength, and mental energy completely depleted!
For this reason, after Tang San and Wu Heyi exchanged a glance, a strong sense of anxiety welled up in their hearts at the same time.
Although they haven't known each other for very long, they are probably very good friends simply because they share the same interests and there is no conflict of interest between them.
But once they step onto the arena, their identities instantly shift, and former friends become fierce rivals. Especially when facing a formidable opponent like Wu Heyi, whom they know inside and out, the feeling is truly agonizing.
However, the eye contact between the two did not last long; after only a few seconds, they looked away from each other.
When the team members returned to the lounge, everyone was unable to contain their dissatisfaction and turned their anger towards Wu Heyi, criticizing him for not appearing on stage until the very last moment.
Everyone complained, "If you had arrived even a moment later, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold on!"
After a morning of intense battles, the team members were exhausted and felt incredibly tired. All they wanted was a good rest, because the crucial final match was coming up in the afternoon!
After quickly finishing a simple meal, everyone returned to their rooms to rest and recharge for the decisive battle that afternoon.
At this moment, only Wu Miaomiao and Mi'er remained in the center of the spacious reception room.
Why aren't you two going back to rest?
Wu Heyi took a sip of the steaming tea and asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, Mi'er immediately perked up and replied excitedly:
"Brother Heyi, I want to hear about your experiences over the past few days. I didn't participate much in the battle this morning, so I'm not tired at all!"
After saying that, she looked at Wu Heyi with her big, bright eyes full of expectation.
Wu He looked intently at the girl in front of him, who had grown up alongside him, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
Now, Mi'er has grown into a graceful young woman, showing the charm of a young girl, but her innocent and childlike nature remains unchanged.
Sometimes, seeing her adorable appearance, Wu Heyi really wanted to reach out and gently pinch her rosy cheeks.
In the end, however, Wu Heyi simply raised his hand, gently tapped Mi'er's head, and softly urged her:
"Little girl, go back and rest. After we finish this afternoon's final match and return to the academy, I'll tell you my story of the past month in detail."
Mi'er covered her head with a dejected expression, her heart filled with frustration and anger.
She turned and left angrily, her steps heavy.
However, just as she was about to reach the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, pointed her finger directly at Wu Heyi, and shouted:
"Okay, you said it. You must explain this to me properly when you get back to the academy!"
"And you! Don't you know you should be resting now?"
At this moment, Wu Heyi was staring intently at Wu Miaomiao.
In fact, he knew very well that this girl had a special and complicated feeling for him.
However, although his body looks quite young, his inner soul is that of a person in his twenties who has long been immersed in otaku culture.
As the saying goes, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've at least seen pigs run," he wasn't completely ignorant about matters of the heart between men and women.
However, he was unwilling to even acknowledge Mi'er's passionate feelings, let alone those of other women.
However, Wu Heyi was clearly overthinking things this time.
Because what Wu Miaomiao was concerned about was completely different from what he had imagined.
Wu Miaomiao looked utterly exhausted and said weakly:
"My soul power is almost completely exhausted today."
Even if I rested for seven or eight hours, I probably wouldn't be able to recover to seventy or eighty percent of my previous level..."
As she spoke, she slowly shook her head, as if she were about to collapse from exhaustion.
Hearing her say this, Wu Heyi was filled with doubt and distrust. He had personally experienced and deeply felt the wondrous changes that came with releasing the ultimate move—the special effect of absorbing the opponent's three powers to restore his own condition!
This feeling is like receiving timely rain after a long drought, bringing immense joy.
However, Wu Miaomiao's soul-stealing skills are even more astonishing.
This skill can steal the opponent's passive abilities and all possible side effects! This is undoubtedly an extremely powerful and rare ability.
Just today, Wu Miaomiao instantly defeated the formidable Hu Liena with her amazing soul-stealing skill.
Although Hu Liena may have been severely exhausted from the long battle and had little soul power left, logically speaking, the power stolen from Hu Liena should have been enough to offset some of the energy required to use the armor!
