Chapter 122.
Fire Wolf Armor: Engulfs the entire body in flames, granting a 50% increase in defensive power and simultaneously inflicting potent fire damage on the opponent while in close combat. It serves as a good defensive soul ability as well as a minor buff ability.
Qin Ming's body erupted in flames, radiating intense heat like a blazing fire tornado, the Double Edged Wolf Strike still activated as Qin Ming relentlessly bombarded Wang Feng with continuous attacks, producing a rumbling sound that resonated in the ears of the watchers.
Crisp sounds filled the air as Wang Feng suddenly delivered a punch directly onto Qin Ming's body. In an instant, the fire surrounding his body burst apart, and the hit landed squarely on Qin Ming's chest, prompting a drastic change in his expression as he was immediately sent flying, as if struck by a speeding truck while the fire damage inflicted on Wang Feng seemed almost negligible.
"You're not strong enough." Wang Feng stated slowly.
"Where is your third soul ability? Use it."
Indeed, as Wang Feng surmised, Qin Ming's physical prowess, while robust, fell quite short compared to his own. Despite Qin Ming's strength, being a Soul Emperor of over sixty levels, Wang Feng's current physical strength could rival that of a beast martial soul, Soul Saint.
"Without using his soul power? How can he be so formidable? Just one punch and teacher Qin Ming is sent flying?" Dugu Yan expressed disbelief.
"Could this person truly be the Captain Monster of the Qingbao combination?"
Yu Tianheng remained silent, his attention focused on the confrontation between the two men. Thor's strength and abilities exerted considerable pressure on him.
"This mysterious member of the Emperor Team, Ming Qin, is no ordinary soul master, right?" Dai Mubai whispered.
"Wang Feng's punch could directly incapacitate me even after using White Tiger Vajra Transformation. If this is Ming Qin, with only forty levels of soul power, it's impossible to withstand Wang Feng's punch."
Despite the forceful impact that sent Qin Ming flying, Dai Mubai could discern that Qin Ming hadn't sustained any sever injuries. Qin Ming slid across the fighting platform for a distance, stood up while coughing a couple of times.
"I'm afraid he's a high-level soul master deliberately suppressing his strength..." Tang San speculated.
"His beast martial soul is also very formidable. Beast martial soul, soul masters possess robust physical attributes. Even if he is a high-level soul master, suppressing soul power doesn't compromise his inherent physical strength. However, high-level soul masters typically wouldn't deign themself to participate in Soul Elder-level team battles... It seems that he joined Emperor team to counter brother Feng."
Tang San continued, "You might have noticed, Mubai. This Yu Tianheng is part of the Yuyan combination who battled that day with Feng'ge and Rongrong. Clearly..."
With a bitter smile, Tang San concluded, "I understand why the Emperor team was so cautious. Feng'ge's punch probably scared Yu Tianheng a bit... Otherwise, even with their high-level Soul Elder teammates, they wouldn't have invited him to suppress his soul power and participate in the competition."
Dai Mubai remained silent. It seemed the Emperor team had taken precautions for a reason.
Explosive revelations continued to unfold.
"Even judging from their combo of soul skills, maybe they also watched our teamfight match in person, analyzed and learned a bit..." Tang San, astute as ever, speculated continually. Seeing the formidable Ming Qin in action now, his conjectures appeared almost confirmed.
"But Ming Qin shouldn't be able to beat Wang Feng, even if he didn't suppress the soul power..." Dai Mubai began to smile.
However, just as he started to laugh, Qin Ming, standing in the distance, underwent a sudden change.
The third purple soul ring on Qin Ming's body suddenly ignited!
"Third soul ability: Fire Wolf Flaming Transformation!"
With the activation of his third soul ability, Qin Ming's entire body was enveloped in a recurring layer of golden red fiery light. His skin and hair also began to grow slightly and a faint flame surrounded to his entire body. While somewhat akin to Zhu Zhuqing's transformation earlier, it was on a much smaller scale.
"Mr. Qin Ming's third soul ability!"
A glint appeared in Yu Tianheng's eyes. Fire Wolf Flaming Transformation was an exceptionally potent soul ability among the thousand-year ones.
Granting an incredible tough body, it also sharpens the wolf like claws that could tear through the diamonds. The power, speed, attack strength, and defense and all other capabilities are increased by 150%. Although the duration is a little short, only fifteen minutes, but these fifteen minutes were enough to determine the outcome of the ongoing battle.
"It's teacher Qin Ming's core soul ability!"
Fifteen minutes, in a soul master battle, was considered very short, but it represented a super high-burst soul ability! This incredibly potent soul ability could propel Qin Ming into an extraordinary state.
A glint of light sparked in Qin Ming's eyes as he extended his hands, revealing a series of sharp claws that glowed with a cold light. With the added enhancement of his third soul ability, these wolf like claws became even more lethal.
Wang Feng, slightly surprised, observed Qin Ming's transformation.
Boom!
Without any hesitation, Qin Ming immediately launched another attack on Wang Feng. With time being of the essence, he sought to strike his opponent as quickly as possible!
"A significant boost!"
Wang Feng's anticipation grew as he also dashed towards Qin Ming. From a distance, they resembled two streaks of light, one black and one golden. Wang Feng, clad in black, and Qin Ming, radiating a golden red fire like glow, collided head-on.
The impact generated a fierce shockwave, causing everyone's hair to bristle and their clothes to ripple in the gusty wind. The strong fiery wind even prompted a few onlookers to shield their eyes.
The two figures reeled back from the center of the commotion—Wang Feng and Qin Ming.
Qin Ming's attributes had undergone a substantial improvement, equivalent to that of a someone at 70th level Soul Emperor with doubled physical strength. The enhancements across all aspects were undeniable, albeit for a short duration.
With the deployment of Qin Ming's third soul ability, he now matched Wang Feng's current state. Continuing the fight in this manner might not yield any definitive results. Qin Ming, without resorting to additional soul abilities, allowed his soul power to flow through his body, delivering punch after punch towards Wang Feng.
As the two continued their intense exchange, each punch and kick produced a real air current, sending shockwaves through the Great Fighting Soul Arena. The impact of their collisions surpassed the momentum generated during the 14-player battle earlier.
Qin Ming, despite suppressing his soul power, maintained formidable physical strength as a sixty-second level Soul Emperor. The straightforward and forceful exchange between the two fighters created a spectacle that captivated the onlookers.
After a few more minutes of their relentless confrontation, Qin Ming and Wang Feng finally separated.
As if deciding on something Wang Feng sighed and declared,
"Come."
Taking a deep breath as his Black Thorns Armor was dectivated.
It appeared as though nothing had changed.
However, the next moment provided clarity. Wang Feng vanished from his position! The once robust soul fighting platform, shaken by some tremendous impact, now bore countless cracks.
"So fast!"
Tang San's eyes narrowed. Despite his current lack of prowess, he was still able to discern the path of the collision between the two previously.
Presently, Feng'ge's velocity had became entirely indiscernible for him even with the help of Purple Demon Eye.
"Faster than during our training sessions!" Tang San remarked gravely, "Brother Feng's power appears to have no limits!"
During their training, Tang San could still catch a glimpse of Wang Feng's speed. However, at this moment, Wang Feng's figure eluded him, not even a trace could be seen.
"That night, when Wang Feng plunged into the black mist, confronting Bu Le and his companion, he likely employed this level of speed and strength." Dai Mubai stated solemnly.
"Which night was that?" Ning Rongrong inquired with curiosity, "Why am I unaware?"
It had been a month since Ma Hongjun led Tang San and the group on a quest for retribution.
Encountering two Soul Kings each surpassing the fifty-rank mark, Wang Feng, in the end, defeated them after a few breaths. During that crucial moment, Wang Feng, in second gear, utilized the 'Slow World' and employed the Armored Black Thorns to bring down the duo Soul Kings attempting to flee.
"How much hidden strength does this Wang Feng possess?" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but wonder aloud.
"I rarely witness him using soul abilities now. He never employed them in our bouts. Yet, suddenly, his strength has surged to a new echelon. How did this transformation occur bout?"
"He also hasn't tapped into his soul power yet!" Zhu Zhuqing interjected suddenly as she approached.
This revelation left everyone bewildered. Xiao Wu, filled with curiosity, asked, "Zhuqing, how do you know?"
"A few days ago, during an experiment with the martial soul fusion skill, he had an accidental failure." Zhu Zhuqing revealed. After a moment of silence, she continued in a hushed tone, "At that time, I didn't possess much strength and inadvertently placed my hands on his back. I felt an extremely tough, steel-like armor. The moment I touched it, my body was inexplicably weakened and became softened."
"That armor, I sensed, was incredibly heavy." she added.
Silence gripped everyone.
It was uncommon to hear Zhu Zhuqing share so much. Ning Rongrong, unable to contain her curiosity, asked with a raised voice, "Wait! What happened next? Your body became a little soft? You, YOU!!..."
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her, shook her head, and clarified, "I was bounced off and landed on the ground. He allowed me to rest for a while."
The revelation left everyone pondering. Ning Rongrong, feeling a sudden sense of joy.
"Zhuqing, why are you so careless!" Ning Rongrong scolded, "Wang Feng is also at fault. What kind of armor does he usually wear! I'll talk to him about it next time!"
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, baffled by the change in her friend's tone.
"Armor?" Tang San furrowed his brow. "What kind of heavy armor? Usually, we can't see any difference... peculiar."
The group shared mutual confusion. The typical expectation was that the heavier the armor the more noticeable it would be, yet they rarely observed any distinctions.
At that moment, in the arena's center, Qin Ming broke into a cold sweat. When Wang Feng moved, he instinctively felt a sense of impending danger.
"Too fast! He's too fast! With my current strength, I can't even trace his paths!"
"It's over!" A voice echoed in Qin Ming's ears as a sinking realization overcame him.
