Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Wood Human Technique – Catching Skills Barehanded

Su Ming needed to clear up any misunderstandings; otherwise, if Huo Wu mistook his wood dragon's absorption ability for something similar to Tang San's, that would be troublesome. As he approached, Su Ming noticed a small wet spot under Feng Xiaotian. It seemed the poor guy had been scared to the point of wetting himself!

"Eww…" Huo Wu, having noticed this as well, took a few steps back in disgust. "Well, with Feng Xiaotian in this state, how is he supposed to get back?"

Su Ming shrugged, pointing in one direction. "Not our problem. The power of our abilities here should've drawn his teammates' attention. They'll probably come for him soon. Let's just get out of here."

After they left, Huo Wu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Su Ming, how about you have a match with me too?"

Surprised, Su Ming asked, "Right now?"

Huo Wu nodded. "After watching your fight with Feng Xiaotian, I don't want to wait until the finals. We might not even end up facing each other then. I want to see what you're really made of, one-on-one."

Seeing her eagerness, Su Ming relented, "Alright then, come with me."

He led her to an empty training arena. "Huo Wu, I don't mind fighting, but remember, we leave for Spirit City tomorrow. Don't overdo it," he advised.

Huo Wu brushed off his concerns. She didn't care about such things right now. All she wanted was to give it her all and see if she could defeat Su Ming. As for getting hurt? She hadn't even considered it. If it happened, she figured it would be her own fault.

"Let's start!" Su Ming said simply.

Without further ado, he launched his attack, deciding this was the perfect opportunity to impress the fiery beauty. It was also a chance to try out some other wood techniques.

"Piercing Root Technique!"

Instantly, countless wooden spikes appeared in front of Su Ming, rushing toward Huo Wu.

"Third spirit skill, Repelling Fire Ring!"

As expected, the spikes shattered instantly. Su Ming couldn't help but admire her technique—very effective indeed. But that was merely a probing attack on his part. In his view, this move, while powerful, had its limits; a sufficiently strong attack would surely break through it. A third spirit skill from a Spirit Elder couldn't possibly block the full force of a Spirit Emperor or Spirit Sage.

Seeing that she'd deflected his attack, Huo Wu confidently taunted, "See, Su Ming? Your attacks can't touch me."

Su Ming shook his head. That was far from the truth. His initial move had only been a warm-up, without any power augmentation. He hadn't expected it to succeed.

Alright, he thought, to make an impression, I'll go with a big one.

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

With a loud rumble, an enormous wooden humanoid figure rose in the center of the arena, nearly taking up half the battlefield. Coiled around the wood figure's torso was a wood dragon, adding to the imposing sight. Huo Wu gaped in shock; the wood figure had to be at least ten meters tall—far taller than she'd expected!

What she didn't know was that this was a scaled-down version. Typically, a Wood Human was around fifty meters tall, but there was no way this room could accommodate such a giant without bursting open.

Even so, the towering wood human was an intimidating sight, and she couldn't help but compare. Her Blazing Dance of the Sun in her fusion mode might not even be as large as one of this figure's hands.

"Su Ming, what…what is this move?" Huo Wu asked in awe, realizing the gap between them might be larger than she'd thought.

Su Ming replied nonchalantly, "This skill has a simple name—Wood Human."

Huo Wu was dumbstruck. How could such a formidable skill have such an ordinary name?

Unwilling to admit defeat, Huo Wu immediately used her Repelling Fire Ring again. However, this time the wood figure stood perfectly still. The wood human and dragon just stared at her, as if to say, "Is that all you've got?"

Huo Wu couldn't believe it. Given her strength, she should have been able to repel any ability from a Spirit Emperor, even partially deflecting those from a Spirit Sage. But against this wooden colossus, her skill had zero effect. Su Ming was only a Spirit King—did this wood human possess the strength of a Spirit Sage or even a Spirit Douluo?

Seeing her reaction, Su Ming knew his plan was working; he wanted her to experience a bit of existential crisis, to truly feel the power gap. That was the best way to command her respect.

"It's getting late, Huo Wu," Su Ming said. "If you have any tricks left, bring them out now. If you can take down this wood human, I'll concede defeat."

Biting her lip in frustration, Huo Wu didn't want to win under these circumstances. Her competitive spirit ignited as her remaining four spirit rings flared up, fusing to create her Blazing Dance of the Sun.

A massive, blazing fireball with a diameter of around five meters appeared before her. She couldn't help but compare, and she was relieved to see that, at least in terms of size, her fireball was larger than Su Ming's wood human's hands.

"Alright, let's see how you handle this!" she cried, sending the fiery sphere hurtling toward the wood human. Yet, just as she released it, the wood human's hand expanded, effortlessly catching her Blazing Dance of the Sun.

The wood figure's eyes seemed to examine the fireball curiously, as if it were nothing more than an intriguing object in its grasp.

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Winning Over Huo Wu

"Damn!"

Even Huo Wu couldn't help but curse. She had poured all her soul power into this fourth soul skill, only to see it caught effortlessly?

It didn't make any sense! Shouldn't this wooden figure at least pretend to struggle, maybe shatter halfway through? That way, she could accept the outcome more easily. But to catch her attack barehanded? This was absurd.

Su Ming himself was only experimenting. After all, in Naruto, the Wood Human could catch a tailed beast bomb with ease. Catching a mere fireball here wasn't asking too much, right? Fortunately, it worked out, but summoning the Wood Human consumed more soul power than he had expected. Luckily, his abilities included skills to restore and accelerate soul power recovery; otherwise, he might not have been able to sustain it for long.

Su Ming looked at Huo Wu, grinning. "Huo Wu, looks like it's my turn to attack. Let's see if you can handle it?"

The next moment, the Wood Dragon threw the giant fireball straight back at her.

"Ahh!"

Huo Wu's heart raced. There was no way she could catch an attack like this—she was doomed! She closed her eyes, bracing for impact.

But in an instant, she felt a strange pull in the air. When she opened her eyes, she found herself beside Su Ming. She even heard him mumbling, "Wood Release: Wooden Wall Technique!"

A wooden shield with a fierce, ghostly face appeared just in front of the Blazing Dance of the Sun.

Boom!

Dust filled the air as Su Ming demonstrated his second wood technique of the day. In Naruto, the Wooden Wall Technique had blocked Madara's enhanced Susanoo blade, showing its immense defensive strength. Even if Su Ming's current version couldn't match the original, it was more than enough here.

Huo Wu was shocked by Su Ming's skill, seeing the shield emerge unscathed from the explosion. The sheer defensive power left her in awe. She looked at Su Ming, realizing the vast difference in their strength. Though reluctant to accept it, her heart beat faster, as if someone had stolen their way in.

Satisfied with the Wooden Wall's defensive power, Su Ming smiled, "Well, it looks like you lost this one, right?"

Huo Wu gritted her teeth. "Don't get cocky! I'll double my training and beat you next time!"

Seeing her stubbornness, Su Ming leaned closer. "Oh? You're certain you'll win next time? What if you lose?"

Watching him draw near, her heart pounded faster. Backed into a corner, she stubbornly retorted, "What do you think you're doing?"

Su Ming met her gaze. "If you lose, you agree to one condition I set."

However, he underestimated Huo Wu's fiery nature; in a quick move, she "pinned" him against the wall instead. "By the way, why'd you even agree to that duel with Feng Xiaotian?"

Ignoring his challenge, Huo Wu changed the subject. She knew her chances of winning in the finals were slim. Just Su Ming alone could likely take out her entire team, let alone with his other teammates.

Without missing a beat, Su Ming answered, "To be honest, I didn't even want to entertain his challenge. But as you saw, he wouldn't stop. He said that if I didn't accept, I wasn't a man. How can I prove I'm a man with just words? That was an insult. Plus, didn't I say I'm drawn to beautiful girls? Feng Xiaotian probably thought we were something more than friends, making us rivals. The duel would keep him away from you, so why not? You'd have peace and quiet too, right?"

Su Ming finally laid it all out. As he spoke, he placed his hand on Huo Wu's shoulder, reversing the pin until she was the one backed against the wall.

Thump, thump, thump…

Huo Wu's heart pounded. Was he confessing? She realized she was a bit moved—but what should she do? Su Ming already had other women in his life.

While she was lost in thought, something unexpected happened. She felt her lips pressed softly by his.

"Mmm…"

Huo Wu's eyes widened in surprise. Su Ming had kissed her when she least expected it!

No matter how hard she pounded on his chest, Su Ming remained unmoving, steady as a rock.

A few moments later, she closed her eyes.

Sigh… If you can't fight it, might as well enjoy it.

After a while, Huo Wu looked at Su Ming with a mix of frustration and embarrassment. "You… you jerk, how could you…"

She was surprised to find she didn't feel any dislike. In fact… she'd even liked it.

"Ahem… Well, you looked so conflicted, so I just made the decision for you. Besides, you didn't seem to mind it either," Su Ming replied, feeling a bit sheepish. Honestly, even he was taken aback by his boldness. He wouldn't have tried this with anyone else. Attempting such a move might risk the entire friendship. But Huo Wu was different—he knew she'd appreciate a show of strength, and based on what he remembered, he had a solid 98% chance of success.

"Idiot… I can't believe you!" Huo Wu's face turned red with embarrassment.

What choice did she have now? She'd been kissed; there was no turning back.

If Su Ming didn't have so many women around, she might not have hesitated. Knowing his character was precisely why she had doubts—Su Ming attracted women like a magnet.

But now, she was on the "thief's ship." Since she'd lost her first kiss, she was committed to staying by him.

Once Huo Wu fell for someone, she was all in. She wouldn't change her mind so easily. But now, she wondered how she'd explain things to Xiao Wu and the others…

Seeing Huo Wu's silence, Su Ming broke the tension. "Alright then, Huo Wu. It's decided—you're officially my girlfriend now!"

Huo Wu huffed, "Aren't you worried about how Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong will react when they find out?"

Feeling a bit guilty, Su Ming replied, "Ahem… Don't worry. They know my type already—I'm into beautiful girls. I'll talk to them when the time comes."
