To make the process of passing through the Mechanism Alley during the first stage of intensive training smoother, Ao Siqin often used this method of employing mental power to cooperate with his other senses to perceive the outside world. As a result, his proficiency with this method had already become extremely high.
After the first stage of training ended, in order to test the practicality and limits of this perception method, Ao Siqin even deliberately entered the All-Knowing Library to conduct simulated battles.
His opponent was Tang San. The way of fighting was for Ao Siqin to close his eyes and evade Tang San's hidden weapon attacks launched from beyond five meters away. Limited by his lack of agility in movement techniques, Ao Siqin was unable to completely dodge every attack, but as long as he coordinated with soul tools or the Flame Armor Shield, he could still remain completely unharmed under the barrage of hidden weapons.
After closing his eyes, the world he perceived should have fallen into darkness, yet within Ao Siqin's mind, every change in the scenery within a ten-meter radius around his body was still clearly reflected. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly—he had found that crafty opponent. Not in the direction he had previously observed with his vision, but instead behind him, to the side of his body.
The main body of this invisible Shadow Mouse soul master was not advancing particularly fast, but considering that the distance between the two was not very great to begin with, there was a high probability that he would reach Ao Siqin and launch his attack precisely at the moment when Ao Siqin had just exerted force to break the illusion in front of him that was drawing attention.
Given the attack power of an agility-type soul master, once Ao Siqin misjudged the key defensive direction, he would very likely be finished in a single strike.
However, since the Shadow Mouse soul master's scheme had already been seen through by Ao Siqin, the initiative in this exchange of offense and defense naturally shifted into Ao Siqin's hands.
No sooner said than done. Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, all of it happened in an instant and did not delay Ao Siqin's bodily movements at all.
Soul power gradually gathered, and the jade rhinoceros horn of the Flame Armor Shield began to emit a dark red glow. His footwork drove his body forward in a rapid charge—Ao Siqin intended to destroy the illusion in front of him before the Shadow Mouse soul master's true body arrived.
Although he felt that this illusion had no attack power, who could say for certain? Allowing oneself to fall into a situation where one could be attacked from both sides during battle was an extremely foolish choice.
With a standard shield-bash stance, Ao Siqin successfully smashed the illusion in front of him apart. The facts proved that this illusion indeed possessed no attack power whatsoever.
At the same time, because Ao Siqin's movement had fully carried him forward, the Shadow Mouse soul master who had already reached Ao Siqin's rear revealed his form. On his mouse claws, whose nails had grown explosively, dense dark-attribute soul power gathered. The uncontrollable glow of soul power demonstrated the terrifying strength of this strike. If this claw were to successfully hit Ao Siqin while he was undefended, then Ao Siqin losing his combat capability would be an inevitable result.
Among the spectators paying attention to this match near the fighting arena, some had already let out startled cries. In their eyes, Ao Siqin, having misapplied his strength, was completely too late to block this attack. In the Shadow Mouse soul master's eyes, who had successfully completed the flanking maneuver with Ao Siqin's "help," a flash of excitement also appeared.
However, that bit of excitement instantly froze in the Shadow Mouse soul master's eyes in the very next moment—his advancing steps were blocked.
Realizing that the masked fellow before him was not as completely unguarded against his sneak attack as he had imagined, the Shadow Mouse soul master instinctively wanted to retreat. But once again, he miscalculated. In front of him, behind him, to his left and right, invisible barriers obstructed his movement.
Watching Ao Siqin calmly halt his forward charge, turn around, and spread his stance for an attack, the Shadow Mouse soul master knew that Ao Siqin had long since seen through his actions and was simply playing along, waiting for him to walk right into close-quarters combat.
With a fierce swing of his claws toward the obstruction behind him, the Shadow Mouse soul master—who could be considered a veteran of many battles in this Grand斗魂 Arena—had encountered situations like this before, where an attack plan was exposed and the offensive-defensive situation reversed.
At present, for a Shadow Mouse soul master who was not skilled in defense or head-on clashes, the best choice was to immediately withdraw from Ao Siqin's attack range and reorganize the offense.
But how could Ao Siqin possibly give him such an opportunity? The telekinetic shield formed by his third soul skill successfully blocked the Shadow Mouse soul master's attack.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ao Siqin also altered the shape of the telekinetic shield, directly imprisoning the Shadow Mouse soul master. Then, deliberately activating his second soul ring, he punched forward, sending all the fire-attribute energy condensed on the Flame Armor Shield straight into the Shadow Mouse soul master's body.
The first soul ring flashed again as an energy shield appeared. Ao Siqin quickly retreated. When the distance between Ao Siqin and the Shadow Mouse soul master exceeded one meter, the telekinetic shield restraining the Shadow Mouse soul master instantly vanished—but at that very moment, the fire-attribute energy within the Shadow Mouse soul master's body erupted.
The Shadow Mouse soul master's face flushed an eerie red. He suddenly tilted his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell stiffly backward. The state of martial soul possession was also automatically解除 as the Shadow Mouse soul master lost consciousness.
The situation on the field was extremely clear. The referee immediately declared the fight over—Ao Siqin was victorious. The Grand斗魂 Arena's rescue personnel rushed onto the platform, carried the Shadow Mouse soul master away, and began emergency treatment.
"Uh… seems like I hit a bit too hard," Ao Siqin said, looking at the heavily injured Shadow Mouse soul master. He awkwardly wanted to scratch his cheek, but was blocked by his soul-tool face mask. Shrugging his shoulders, Ao Siqin helplessly walked down from the fighting platform amid the cheers of the audience.
In this match, because Ao Siqin successfully saw through his opponent's attack plan and seized the opportunity, using the Flame Armor Shield's powerful close-range armor-breaking ability, he defeated an opponent who was inherently poor at defense in one decisive blow. His victory could be said to have been very easy.
Precisely because of this, after stepping down from the platform, Ao Siqin's mood became much more relaxed. While sensing the soul power within his body slowly recovering, he turned his head around, trying to find the other Shrek Academy students.
He didn't find any students, but instead the Master主动 came to find him.
"You performed well in this match. I was originally a bit worried that you would struggle due to your lack of speed and attack methods. But now it seems that as long as your ability to seize opportunities is strong enough, the Flame Armor Shield's close-range armor-breaking ability can completely help you end a battle in a single strike.
"I noticed that you seemed a bit embarrassed about having struck too hard. Here, I must remind you—don't overthink it. Maintain full power.
"When you are not using soul tools, your attack and control methods are very limited. Opportunities to attack may be extremely rare for you, so once you seize one, you must go all out.
"You must understand that if your attack cannot resolve your opponent the first time, not only will it be very difficult for you to obtain a second opportunity, but your opponent may also seize the chance to counterattack. Even if you can block that counterattack, the battle will turn into a pure soul-power consumption war."
"I understand, Master. I won't change my way of going all out. The Grand斗魂 Arena's rescue forces are still worthy of trust."
After leaving the sub-arena where Ao Siqin had fought, the Master went to confirm the Shrek Seven Monsters' team battle opponent for tonight with the arena staff, while Ao Siqin went to find his two-on-two battle partner, Ma Hongjun.
There were quite a few sub-arenas inside the Grand斗魂 Arena. Searching one by one would waste a lot of time, but fortunately Ao Siqin had the help of his mobile phone.
The call connected quickly after the number was dialed. "Finished already? Sub-arena Twenty-Two. Come over quickly—everyone's basically here," before Ao Siqin could even speak, the slightly excited voice of the little fatty came through from the other end.
"Looks like he won," Ao Siqin thought. After agreeing verbally, he hung up the phone, turned around, and headed toward Sub-arena Twenty-Two.
As soon as he entered the sub-arena, Ao Siqin saw six people wearing military-green team uniforms gathered together on the second level of the spectator stands, watching something. Following their line of sight toward the one-on-one fighting platform, sure enough, there was another person wearing a military-green uniform currently fighting on the platform.
