Shui Yue'er stopped in her tracks at some point, staring blankly at Huo Yun, who seemed like a celestial being descending to earth.
It was hard to imagine how Huo Yun had 'cut' off the Frost Wind in an instant.
But in that instant, she realized that her connection with her soul skill had suddenly been severed.
This novel is first published on the entire network by ๐ฅ ๐จ ๐ ๐ ๐ . ๐ ๐ ๐
It was as if the connection line through which she remotely controlled and outputted soul power had been cut.
The Ice Whirlwind, unable to maintain its strength, didn't require Huo Yun to expend much effort; the heat from the Crane Blade alone was enough to melt and dissipate it.
"You, how did you do it?"
Shui Yue'er couldn't understand what was happening before her eyes and shouted in a somewhat mentally broken state.
However, Huo Yun didn't answer this question with words.
The only thing that answered her was the deep red Crane Blade.
Huo Yun's figure rapidly swooped down from the sky. As a so-called agility-attack type Soul Master, the speed he unleashed far surpassed Shui Yue'er's. Moreover, without the Frost Wind's interference, Shui Yue'er had no advantage in speed.
A red light flashed, and glazed energy fragments shattered as Shui Yue'er fell forward.
Huo Yun VS Shui Yue'er, Huo Yun wins.
The other academies, who were originally cheering for the performance of the Tianshui Academy, seemed to have pressed the pause button, and their cheers abruptly stopped.
Most of them couldn't understand the scene of 'cutting the wind with a blade' before them.
At this moment, Quan Ni, sitting beside them, gently tugged on Quan Yi's sleeve and then asked in a low voice:
"Big brother, how did this big brother do it?"
Quan Ni, who had been quietly observing the match, finally couldn't resist the doubts in her heart and asked Quan Yi about her confusion.
In the past two months, Quan Ni had watched countless high-quality Soul Grandmaster and Soul Elder-level soul duels. With her intelligence and diligence, she had already accumulated a lot of soul duel knowledge and experience.
But the scene before her completely exceeded her understanding.
Quan Yi affectionately touched Quan Ni's little head and softly explained: "To know how Huo Yun cracked this soul skill, you must understand the principle of this Ice Whirlwind.
Wind seems to be invisible, but it has its own trajectory and its own source.
It's like when I wave my hand to fan the surrounding air, creating a breeze. The origin of this breeze is my hand, and the wind will also form different shapes depending on how the hand is waved."
As he spoke, faint water mist surged from Quan Yi's palm, spreading in front of Quan Ni's eyes. Then, he used his palm to gently fan the water mist.
The breeze, which was originally invisible, truly appeared with the scattering of the water mist, showing the 'shape of the wind'.
When Quan Ni saw this scene, her eyes suddenly became bright and sparkling, and she nodded her little head, gaining a deeper understanding of the wind.
Seeing that Quan Ni understood quickly, Quan Yi turned around and asked: "Now that Xiao Ni already knows the principle of the wind, then I'll test you. If it were Xiao Ni, how would you eliminate this breeze?"
Quan Yi's explanation attracted the attention of everyone in the Blazing Fire Academy, who had been listening attentively from the beginning.
Because they also wanted to know how Huo Yun did it.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed with understanding, and they all clearly understood Quan Yi's meaning.
But they didn't interrupt the two siblings, but instead, they all looked forward to Quan Ni's answer.
Only to see Quan Ni tilting her head slightly to the side, crossing her arms, and staring intently at the water mist in front of her, looking like she was pondering deeply.
Looking at Quan Ni, who was thinking seriously, Quan Yi's lips curled into a gentle smile, and his heart seemed to be melted by her cuteness.
He didn't give the answer directly, but instead wanted to use this method to cultivate Quan Ni's ability to think independently.
Although Quan Ni was only about four years old, her IQ was no worse than that of an adult, and even stronger.
He believed that with Quan Ni's intelligence and talent, this wouldn't be difficult for her.
"Hmm."
Quan Ni shook her head and carefully examined the trajectory of the wind constructed by the water mist, and then curiously stretched her finger into the water mist.
Her keen sense immediately felt the trajectory of the breeze.
Subsequently, the amazing scene that had just happened on the stage immediately appeared in her mind.
Her confused eyes flashed with excited brilliance, and at the same time, her fingers began to move against the direction of the water mist, touching the palm that had been continuously fanning outside the water mist.
"That's it!
As long as you can make big brother's arm stop moving, then this breeze will naturally dissipate."
Quan Ni grabbed one of Quan Yi's fingers with her soft little hand, stopping him from continuing to fan.
Quan Yi cooperated and stopped his movements. As soon as he stopped, the cloud of misty water quickly calmed down.
The wind also disappeared.
Quan Yi vigorously ruffled Quan Ni's hair with his other hand, praising her greatly: "So smart, you found the answer so quickly.
That's right, Huo Yun big brother followed the direction of the wind, tracked it in reverse, found the source of the wind, and cut it off with his Crane Blade.
However, this matter sounds simple, but it is very difficult to do.
In an environment where you can't see or hear clearly, he can only rely on his own perception of the blade to comprehend the wind with the blade.
Tracking a whirlwind that is countless times more mixed than a breeze, and accurately finding its source, is not something that ordinary people can do."
What Huo Yun did was extremely simple, but it was very difficult to do.
This required him to have precise control over his wings, because the wind would change depending on the object.
If there was a slight deviation in the movement of the wings, the wind direction would change, making it impossible to track accurately.
Therefore, he had to maintain the balance between the blade and the wind direction throughout the entire process, so that he could find the junction between the soul skill and the soul power in the most labor-saving and time-saving way.
Huo Yu, who was in the front row, leaned back weakly in his chair, listening to the explanation without showing any emotion, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Comprehending the wind with the blade was a different path to the same destination as his own air perception ability.
Relying on his understanding of swordsmanship and the Crane Blade, and then extending the influence of the wind on the blade and the blade on the wind, although the methods were different, Huo Yun had developed a new 'talent' in his own way.
And he was the opposite of Huo Yun, without the talent for swordsmanship.
However, Huo Yun's actions gave him a great shock.
Since one can comprehend the wind with the blade, then can one also comprehend the blade with the wind?
Different paths to the same destination, different paths to the same destination, every path will eventually reach the same goal.
The more Huo Yu thought, the clearer his mind became. At this moment, he also seemed to have entered a state of comprehension.
Seeing this, Quan Yi silently shielded him from external interference and sighed in his heart: "As expected of twin brothers, they actually entered a state of comprehension at the same time.
Is this the tacit understanding between twins, telepathy?"
After explaining to Quan Ni, Quan Yi's gaze turned to Huo Yun, carefully observing the sharp aura emanating from him.
Although it was still very immature, and could not do anything other than intimidation, this aura, which was fused with Huo Yun's own will, marked Huo Yun's swordsmanship entering a new stage.
