Bab 70: Chapter 70: One plus One is Greater Than Two
...
The dizziness in the werewolf's mind quickly disappeared, and when he regained consciousness, he saw a strong gust of wind rushing towards him.
Not good!
His heart tightened, but his abundant combat experience allowed him to react instantly. The only purple soul ring shone brightly, and his fierce wolf mouth let out a crazy howl. The light blue soul power quickly transformed into a huge wolf head. The wolf head howled and unleashed a light blue energy shockwave, shooting straight towards the powerful gust of wind.
Boom~
A thunderous roar resounded throughout the Soul Arena as the two powerful energy impacts collided, emitting dazzling light. However, the light blue energy shockwave did not stop. It tore through the transparent gust of power and headed towards the bulky figure of Kas.
This situation surprised Kas, and he immediately dodged to the side. Another loud boom echoed as Kas agilely avoided the attack. The energy wave fiercely struck the ground, causing the stone tiles to shatter, sending debris flying and creating a cloud of dust.
This outcome was expected. Both of them were thousand-year soul masters, but Kas possessed an area-of-effect group attack skill, while the werewolf possessed a single-target attack skill. Naturally, the werewolf's attack power was stronger than Kas'. Breaking through Kas' power, although the light blue energy wave was more powerful, it was slowed down by Kas' soul skill, not only in terms of strength but also in speed. Thus, Kas narrowly managed to dodge it.
The werewolf's eyes, shimmering with a faint green light, stared attentively at the 300-pound fatty. Although he had gained the upper hand in this encounter, he knew that he had narrowly escaped disaster. His martial soul was a wolf, which did not possess strong defense. If it weren't for his quick reaction and timely retreat, he would have been stunned for at least a moment. Otherwise, that powerful impact would have caused severe injuries.
This is the essence of soul fighting. In the absence of knowledge about the opponent's soul skills, it greatly tests one's ability to fight and react in the moment.
The werewolf became more serious and dared not underestimate his opponent. He tightened his focus and stared at the fatty, his deep yellow soul ring glowing. His second soul skill quietly activated.
Wolf Transformation: Increases self-speed and strength by twenty percent.
His body emitted a shimmering green light, and he felt his own strength grow even stronger. This sensation made him enjoy it immensely. His mouth curled into a grin as he looked at the fatty, and a playful look flashed in his eyes.
Going all out, not giving the opponent a chance. That's how a wild wolf hunts.
The hunt began.
With a powerful stomp of his feet, his body rushed towards the fatty, the speed so fast that it created a sonic boom, with his chilling claws aimed at the target.
Kas, the fatty, also stopped hesitating. His soul power erupted to its fullest as he directly charged towards the werewolf, wielding his cask.
Within a few breaths, the two had already exchanged several moves.
In the audience seats, Zeng Yi watched Kas' battle and was a little surprised. He hadn't expected this fatty to be timid off the stage but fierce in battle. He directly confronted the opponent without fear. The swings of his massive iron cask were imposing and majestic.
The soul master with the wolf martial soul was indeed fast, but what surprised Zeng Yi even more was that Kas could keep up with his speed despite being suppressed. Although he was still at a disadvantage, given Kas' body size, this was already quite impressive.
Truly an agile fatty!
Zeng Yi couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.
However, after dozens of exchanges, Kas clearly began to decline. His opponent had much more combat experience and higher soul power. Currently, Kas could only defend against his opponent's attacks with great effort; he couldn't even counterattack. At this rate, defeat was only a matter of time.
Boom~
Another powerful energy collision occurred. Kas' condition had deteriorated significantly compared to his opponent's. He was clearly running out of strength. The impact sent him flying ten meters away, and the force hit him hard. He felt extremely uncomfortable, with chest pain and trembling in his hands and feet.
His opponent didn't stop attacking because of that. His figure continued to swiftly charge at Kas, intending to finish off his opponent with speed and deprive him of the chance to react.
"I surrender!"
Upon seeing this, Kas immediately shouted, and when his opponent heard him, his charging figure abruptly stopped right in front of Kas. However, the force generated by his speed still struck Kas' fat face hard, causing his long beard to sway in the wind. Kas involuntarily closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw the chilling claws emanating a faint aura, only ten centimeters away from his nose.
*Exhale~*
Seeing the opponent's attack halt, Kas let out a long exhale, and his tense mood relaxed.
It's fortunate that this isn't a life-or-death battle. As long as I surrender, the opponent will stop attacking.
"Your strength is impressive. I've lost," Kas looked at his opponent calmly, saying without any regrets. Losing is losing. If one's strength is inferior, they should admit it. He will go back and focus on cultivation. He's not like Zeng Yi, a freak who can easily defeat opponents of higher levels.
The man nodded and exited his martial soul state, returning to his normal appearance as a slim man. He said, "You're not bad either."
Despite winning, he didn't find it easy. Kas had considerable strength, and his arms were numb from the impact during the battle. He could only win because his combat experience and soul power level were higher than Kas'. If they had the same soul power level, Kas would've definitely been the one to lose.
The host immediately stepped forward to announce the outcome of the battle as it had already been decided.
Kas headed towards the exit of the Soul Arena and saw a figure standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
"I never expected that you, Wine Barrel, would be so timid offstage but fierce when fighting. However, you surrendered in the end. Coward! Hahaha~" Zeng Yi glanced at the disheveled Kas and jokingly said.
"Get lost! You want me to beat you up?" Kas jokingly cursed.
"Hahaha, but you did well. It's already impressive to fight to this extent," Zeng Yi patted Kas' shoulder and said with a smile.
Kas, who was already in pain, felt an even stronger wave of pain when Zeng Yi patted him. He couldn't help but let out a hoarse sound.
"D*mn it! Are you so displeased with me winning?"
"Well, isn't that natural? Besides, your opponent had higher soul power and more combat experience. What could you use to win? Just sheer willpower?" Zeng Yi said casually.
"Furthermore, although you lost, you still gained something from this battle. Reflect on it when you go back. It will greatly improve your strength."
"You're good at lecturing."
"Because these are truths!"
Zeng Yi led Kas to the soul master's resting room, letting him rest and adjust his physical condition.
Looking at Zeng Yi sitting relaxed on the sofa, Kas said, "Our two-on-two soul fight is about to begin. My current condition is not ideal, and my strength is only half of its peak. Shouldn't we forfeit? In single-person soul fights, I wanted to just play around a bit and surrender to conserve my strength for the two-on-two fight. But who knew, I got interested when I started fighting and went all out against the opponent."
"Why forfeit? I'm at ease. Nothing will happen with me around," Zeng Yi gave Kas a reassuring look and said.
However, Kas still had some concerns and said, "With my current state, I will become the weak link. Furthermore, you will have to face two opponents at once. It's not as simple as one plus one. The cooperation between soul masters can unleash a power greater than two."
"Don't worry. You'll see me fighting against two opponents."
Although Zeng Yi heard Kas' words, he maintained a relaxed demeanor and didn't seem to be bothered.
"One plus one is greater than two? I'll just take one out in an instant. How will you guys cooperate then? Interacting from the afterworld?"
