Zhao Wuji and everyone else couldn't help but be intrigued by Wang Feng's surprising move, using Zhao Wuji's own powerful Vajra Palm against him, essentially reversing the situation and sending Zhao Wuji to the ground.
Zhao Wuji was the first to inquire but the curiosity extended to all the spectators. It was indeed baffling - hitting oneself in a fight?
Slowly rising from the dust in the distance, Zhao Wuji's face displayed a hint of redness and swelling. The palm strike he had delivered earlier, which was meant to subdue the young challenger, had only around 70% of his power, fearing that he might seriously hurt the boy. Unexpectedly, instead of the desired result, it had been backfired. Zhao Wuji couldn't help but think that if he had unleashed his full strength, things might have been even more uncomfortable and painful.
But this was impossible. According to his own soul skill combo, once the [Gravity Increase] was in play, there should have been no chance for the opponent to react or even move. Yet this young brat had not only dodged it but also managed to counter with an even stronger Vajra Palm. It was extraordinarily perplexing.
Wang Feng, standing confidently in place, offered an explanation, "The move is called 'Reversal'. It's not a soul skill but a soul technique."
The response left everyone in surprised.
"Reversal.."
Zhao Wuji mumbled to himself, "A very good technique indeed."
The move he had expected to end the battle had done quite the opposite and had hurt him rather than the opponent.
However, what intrigued Zhao Wuji more than the technique itself was how Wang Feng had evaded his soul skill combo. But he decided not to press further on this matter.
"Did your teacher teach you this?" Zhao Wuji asked with a grin, clearly impressed by the ingenuity of the technique. The name [Reversal] carried a sense of profoundness and the true essence of the technique utilized.
Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had been silently observing, were taken aback by the mention of a teacher. Did brother Feng have a teacher?
Wang Feng, however, shook his head and responded, "No. I figured it out on my own."
His answer filled the air with an unusual stillness. Zhao Wuji chuckled, attempting to break the silence, "Well, that's... interesting. I wonder... how did you come up with it?"
As he asked, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but wonder.
'Could a twelve-year-old really have devised such a remarkable technique? Is he really that much of a genius or should I say monster.'
It was clear that this young brat was no ordinary opponent.
Tang San thought to himself on the sidelines, "This move seems to have been evolved from the core skill of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique. I remember when Feng'ge and Su Yuntao first sparred, he also employed this technique then too. He used it occasionally even when he fought against Xiao Wu."
"Surprisingly, Feng'ge has developed a unique set of techniques over the years!"
Tang San marveled at Wang Feng's innovation. In his previous life, he had been deeply immersed in the Tang Sect's hidden weapons but he had also delved into various martial arts and techniques. Creating a unique martial art technique wasn't a simple or easy feat.
Furthermore, this particular technique seemed to transcend traditional martial arts. After all, Mr. Zhao had employed soul skills, not just any ordinary martial arts move.
Even a soul skill/ability like this can be reversed and turned against its user! Just imagine how overpowered is that!
"Ms. Zhao, are you still up for it?" Wang Feng asked with a grin. With his 'Slow World' and the [Reversal] Zhao Wuji's attempt to harm him using soul skills was impossible, unless he wanted to deplete his soul power in a rather foolish manner.
After all, even though Zhao Wuji was a 76th-level Soul Saint, his soul power was still significantly greater than Wang Feng's. Although Wang Feng's soul power was compressed and purified, its quantity was equivalent to only about 50th rank Soul King. Besides, such moves like [Reversal] consumed a substantial amount of soul power.
"Hahaha, brat! Don't get too cocky. While [Reversal] and your soul skill are impressive, I'm sure I can find a way around it!" Zhao Wuji chuckled.
"However, I won't use my last soul ability against you."
His final soul ability was the true form of his Martial Soul. If activated, it would be a game-changer and Wang Feng even with all his abilities wouldn't stand a chance against him. It was akin to going all out, which Zhao Wuji wouldn't do.
"Although your [Reversal] is fascinating, my sixth soul ability is particularly suited to counter it." Zhao Wuji continued. "This battle is nearly over. Allow me to employ my sixth soul ability, young man, you should be proud!"
As soon as the words left his lips, an eerie sense of déjà vu washed over Wang Feng. Why did these words sound familiar?
Dai Mubai, sensing something ominous, quickly took action. "Everyone, back away!" he urged, hastily pulling Tang San and the others with him.
"Also, cover your ears tightly! Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, activate your martial souls! Ning Rongrong, stay behind the three of us!"
The group complied, raising their soul rings as their energies surged.
Dai Mubai was about to respond when Zhao Wuji, with a low growl, activated his sixth soul ring. The black soul ring on his body emitted an intense radiance.
Wang Feng furrowed his brow, faintly recalling that Zhao Wuji sixth soul ability involved a roar.
Suddenly, the ground seemed to tremble and stones scattered across the ground quivered and danced. Zhao Wuji right now was releasing a very menacing aura, his face flushed as his eyes shimmered with streaks of black light.
Thud!
Zhao Wuji stomped his foot, causing the ground to quake and sending numerous rocks flying.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Vigorous Vajra Roar!" Zhao Wuji bellowed and Wang Feng's expression shifted noticeably.
Zhao Wuji opened his mouth, unleashing a fearsome energy wave with his roar.
'Roar!!!'
Almost instantly, the loose rock fragments on the ground were reduced to dust particles, obliterated by the shockwave and the force of his immensely destructive soul ability.
It was a large-scale destructive technique that didn't require direct contact to incapacitate an opponent.
Back even at a safe distance, Tang San and the others were startled by the thunderous roar. Ning Rongrong, the least experienced among them, clung tightly to Xiao Wu.
Dai Mubai, the most formidable of their group, activated his martial soul in self-defense but was still struggling to withstand the unleashed power.
The rest of the team watched in awe as Zhao Wuji unleashed this unexpected and powerful soul ability.
"Teacher Zhao is a melee soul warrior, isn't he? What kind of bizarre soul ability is this?" Xiao Wu exclaimed, her complexion paling.
Even from a distance, the trio found it challenging to maintain their footing, their blood surging uncomfortably. If this was the situation from Wang Feng's standpoint, it would have been...
Wang Feng found himself merely 20 to 30 meters away from Zhao Wuji, perilously close to the terrifying force of the Vigorous Vajra Roar.
Dai Mubai quickly explained, his voice hushed, "Teacher Zhao is primarily an offensive and defensive system soul master. He isn't well-suited for long-range attacks or controlling soul masters remotely. The Vigorous Vajra Roar is a unique soul ability that infuses soul power into the roar making it an extremely hard to defend sound type soul ability. Evading it is almost impossible! I've rarely seen Teacher Zhao employ this soul ability, except for his seventh soul ability, this is his most potent move."
"In the roar, there's a devastating power that can rattle the minds of soul masters, leaving them dizzy and unable to resist, even those of the same level or even above can be affected by this. For someone with lower soul power than Teacher Zhao, it's practically a guaranteed one-shot kill ability. Simply covering your ears won't offer complete protection against it. That's why I urged you all to activate your martial souls to withstand it."
Tang San's complexion turned ashen upon hearing this. If Zhao Wuji had used this soul ability earlier, even with his energy reserves, he would have been done for good.
A single strike would render him entirely combat ineffective and there would have been no opportunity to deploy his hidden weapons.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had been quiet until now, inquired about Wang Feng's fate.
Everyone was momentarily stumped. Dai Mubai eventually sighed, "This battle is likely over. Teacher Zhao's combat experience is unparalleled."
"Teacher Zhao's insight is truly remarkable," Tang San whispered.
"He clearly saw that Brother Feng's [Reversal] required him to initiate an attack before he could use it. In other words, as long as teacher Zhao refrains from engaging brother Feng, he'll have complete control. He won't fall victim to a similar counterattack again."
Zhao Wuji's powerful Vigorous Vajra Roar had reminded Tang San of the Buddhist Lion Roar, a unique technique he remembered from his past life, bearing striking similarities.
"But it's puzzling why teacher Zhao, who's primarily an offensive and defensive soul master, would possess such a long-range, large-scale, lethal soul ability when he doesn't usually engage in long-range combat," Tang San continued.
"On the battlefield, it would undoubtedly be the bane of countless auxiliary system soul masters."
Tang San's analysis left both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing wide-eyed. On the other hand, Ning Rongrong, who was barely conscious, didn't fully grasp the implications.
There was a saying that summed it up neatly—Zhao Wuji's strength lay in his diverse soul abilities. He possessed offensive skills like the powerful Vajra Palm and defensive techniques like the Motionless Bright King Body. He had soul abilities that restrained agile, attack-oriented soul masters, such as Gravity Increase and Position Tracking. He even possessed the Gravity Crush for group battles and monstrous foes. And now, there was the long-range and wide-reaching destructive soul ability, the Vigorous Vajra Roar.
In one-on-one or group fights, Zhao Wuji was always a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Just moments ago, whether facing Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, or even Tang San alone, Zhao Wuji had held back, using only about 20 to 30 percent of his true power. He needed to control his strength to avoid causing serious harm to those he fought against.
However, in the current situation, it was a different story. The question was, who had the upper hand?
"I wonder if Feng'ge can endure this..." Dai Mubai mused aloud and all eyes turned toward the center of the square.
