Chapter 79 Surrender, a Narrow Victory
The two skills collided instantly like meteors. One was a blazing flame, like a fire dragon soaring into the sky, and the other was a cold storm, like ice descending to earth. The two extreme forces collided with a deafening roar, blasting a huge hole in one of the walls of the training room, as if it were an insurmountable chasm.
The earth-shattering roar was like a giant rock being thrown into a lake, drawing all the students nearby to come and see what was happening.
As expected, the academy's enforcement team arrived at the scene with lightning speed, within minutes. Such a violent explosion could easily mislead the academy into believing that an enemy had invaded.
Sure enough, not long after, several powerful figures landed nearby like birds.
Meanwhile, the training room where the two of them were fighting looked like it had been ravaged by a storm, a complete mess, filled with smoke and dust, as if shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see anything inside.
Only a powerful Soul Master, with their keen sense of Soul Power, could detect that two weakened beings were locked in combat inside the training room.
The outcome of that last strike was already decided. The power that the two had been building up was exhausted like a flood bursting its banks, and the time for their armor to combine had also come to an end.
At the moment the skills collided, the two were like startled birds, simultaneously guarding against the aftershocks of the explosion, and thus they both unarmored themselves!
The instant the armor dissipated, Wu Heyi felt that familiar sense of powerlessness wash over him like a tidal wave. Three years of training had reduced the number of times he had summoned the armor to a handful.
Moreover, Lin Bei was always there to assist him during each summons, easing his burden. He hadn't experienced this state of weakness in a long time.
However, three years of physical training have given him a certain resistance to this feeling of powerlessness; in fact, one could say he quite enjoys it.
Because every physical training session is until you are completely exhausted and lose control of your strength, but after each rest, you can clearly feel an improvement in your strength.
However, the girl Miaomiao felt completely differently; she had never expected that the side effects of the Wuheyi Soul Skill would be so strong.
In an instant, it consumed 65% of her soul power, physical strength, and mental energy!
She felt like a flickering candle in a storm, teetering on the brink of collapse, as if she might fall at any moment.
This was the first time she had felt such a strong sense of powerlessness. The fear that came from within her was like an invisible hand, amplifying the feeling of powerlessness to the point that she mistakenly believed she was completely exhausted.
She has only used Wu He Yi's soul skill for five minutes so far, and theoretically she still has twenty-five minutes left to use it.
Another crystal condensed in her right hand, but this time the crystal had completely lost its original emerald green color. Instead, it looked like an ordinary stone, gray and lifeless!
She gently brought the crystal close to her body, but the instantaneous feeling of merging did not occur, and the crystal did not disappear.
In that instant, she thought of a possibility: the use of this skill required abundant physical strength, soul power, and mental power, otherwise it could not be used.
At this moment, Miaomiao felt both angry and amused. She had stolen someone else's skill but prevented them from using it, and as a result, she could only use it once and it was useless for the rest of the time!
Through the wall blasted open by the explosion, sunlight pierced through the smoke like arrows. She saw a figure slowly stand up, while she herself could only slump helplessly to the ground like a wounded kitten.
She gave a pathetic smile, raised her right hand, and said weakly.
"I lost, I'm joining your team!"
Perhaps because he couldn't see Miaomiao's appearance at this moment, and could only hear her voice, Wu Heyi suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.
But I felt that the voice was a little too soft; if it were a bit more forceful...
As Wu Heyi was thinking this, his expression suddenly turned extremely astonished.
"Are you the little boy from three years ago who tried to trick the Mirror Image Poisonous Python away?"
"Heh!" Miao Miao chuckled softly, her voice carrying an indescribable indifference.
She neither admitted nor denied it.
Wu Heyi suddenly understood, as if struck by lightning, where the girl named Miaomiao's overwhelming hostility had come from.
"So what if I didn't just hand over the soul beast back then? So what if I bumped into her chest and felt..."
Wu Heyi murmured softly, but suddenly froze as if struck by lightning!
"Soft, so soft!"
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a girl!"
Wu Heyi's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and he immediately bowed and apologized like a child who had made a mistake.
Upon hearing Wu Heyi's apology, for some reason, Miaomiao's face flushed red, like the sunset.
Just then, a cough suddenly rang out like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
"Cough!"
Three old men entered like ghosts, their powerful soul force rising like a hurricane, dispersing all the dust between the two.
Only then did the two realize that the once intact training room had been completely transformed, as if it had been the site of a horrific war, with every wall riddled with bullet holes of varying sizes.
The entire training room was like a ruin ravaged by artillery fire, completely dilapidated.
"One of you, come and explain to me what happened here!"
Although the questioning voice of the visitor contained no hint of blame, his tone was clearly like a volcano about to erupt, suppressing a raging fire of anger.
Wu Heyi finally saw the three people in front of him clearly, one of whom was Old Man Liang.
But Old Man Liang had now shed his simple attire as the dean of the junior academy and donned the imposing robes of an elder of the senior academy. He now held the reins of the academy's law enforcement department, where all students who had made mistakes would be judged.
Wu Heyi couldn't help but chuckle, while Old Man Liang remained serious.
"grandfather!"
Miaomiao called out.
"grandfather?"
Wu Heyi exclaimed in surprise, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
Then three sharp, questioning voices were heard.
"Ok?"
"Ok?"
"Ok?"
"I'm calling him Grandpa, what are you interrupting for!" Miaomiao said coquettishly, her little face as red as a ripe apple.
Despite her nearly depleted soul power, she strode swiftly to an old man's side.
The old man's martial spirit was also a pair of gloves, but those gloves were different from others. They were as green as jade and looked as thin as a cicada's wing.
The old man skillfully took out some materials from his personal storage soul tool and, with the support of his soul ring, concocted a bottle of blue-green potion at lightning speed.
Miaomiao didn't ask any more questions, and simply tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Sweetie, you've improved!" Before Miao Miao finished speaking, a surge of soul power erupted from her body like a raging wave. In an instant, it was clear that Miao Miao's soul power had been restored almost completely, like a withered tree coming back to life. Her physical strength and mental strength had also been significantly improved.
That's absolutely incredible!
