Xu Sanshi's brow furrowed looking at his smile, and then he calmed down. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Very well, I accept it."
Xiao Yi nodded and then glanced at the announcement tool. The speaker tool announced the rules and then initiated the fight.
"Let the fight begin,"
Xiao Yi smiled and released his heart martial spirit; instantly a deep yellow spirit ring appeared around him, the spirit ring flickering with a red shade.
"Blood Surge x2!"
"Force Surge x4!"
Swish!
The next moment an afterimage flashed, and Xiao Yi disappeared from his place.
Instantly Xu Sanshi's face changed, and he summoned his Xuanming Shield. Just at this moment, Xiao Yi appeared in front of him and punched his shield in the middle.
Bang!
Instantly Xu Sanshi's arm bent in horror, and an unimaginable force affected his body and shield, flying him back away toward the edge of the battle arena.
Bang!
He hit the ground and, with a screeching sound, skidded outside the boundary line amidst the dazed expressions of everyone around.
"You…"
Xu Sanshi raised his hand, pointing at him with a painful expression on his face, looking at him, and then fell back, lying down, looking at the sky in a daze, feeling the strength fading away from his body because of pain.
"Are you kidding me?"
"He is a first-year student,"
"What happened just now? How can he defeat a third-year student instantly?"
Instantly the commotion spread, and the crowd started whispering in shock, looking at each other.
Xiao Yi glanced at the spectators around, all of them looking at him as if watching a monster, then he ignored them and glanced at the direction of Xu Sanshi lying there.
'If physical strength is enhanced by eight times, then such a result is inevitable,' he thought and then turned around and walked away, leaving the arena.
Outside the arena ground, Huo Yuhao and others gathered around him, including Wang Dong, all of them looked at him in surprise.
"Little brother, how did you do that?"
Bei Bei asked, hesitatingly looking at him. He was truly surprised by Xiao Yi's fighting prowess as he defeated Xu Sanshi, who rivaled him, in a single attack.
Huo Yuhao and others also looked at him curiously. Xiao Yi glanced at them and replied calmly, "My first soul skill enhances my all-around attributes by ten times."
"What, ten times?!!!" Instantly Huo Yuhao and others exclaimed, looking at him in shock. Xiao Yi nodded calmly. Instantly their shock turned into envy, looking at him.
"Such amazing skill, and it's just a first soul skill. Your heart and martial spirit are really amazing,"
Tang Ya spoke, looking at him, and then she thought of something and asked unwillingly,
"Do you really not want to join the Tang Clan?"
Xiao Yi shook his head, looking at her, and then he glanced at Bei Bei and said, "Senior Bei, I will trouble you to get the two Xiushui pills from Xu Sanshi; I have won them."
Bei Bei was startled and then nodded and replied, "Leave it to me."
Xiao Yi then nodded, patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and then spoke, "Give one of the pills to Yuhao; it's his share."
After speaking, he turned around and left decisively without looking back. Huo Yuhao was startled and wanted to say something, but Bei Bei patted his shoulder and spoke, "You should accept it; that pill is very beneficial for you at this stage. You can repay him later."
Huo Yuhao fell silent and then nodded. Wang Dong, beside him, was looking at Xiao Yi with a little curiosity and then asked,
"Yuhao, I didn't expect our classmate to be so mysterious and strong. Also, why is he so generous to you?"
Huo Yuhao was startled, and then he glanced at Xiao Yi's back and muttered, "My mother brought him to our house and told me that he will be my elder brother; probably that's why…"
Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Wang Dong were startled and then fell silent hearing his words.
Soon all of them returned to the dormitory, and after a while, Bei Bei appeared with two Xiushui pills. He gave one of them to Huo Yuhao and the other to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi thanked and closed the door and sat down cross-legged on the ground; he didn't want to spread dirt on his bed as Xiushui cleansed the marrow.
"Maybe I should try copying it,"
Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully and then glanced at the pill lying in his palm. He activated his unlimited copy talent, and another pill appeared beside it. Another pill appeared beside his two pills, and then another.
'I can copy the original pill again and again, but I can't copy the copied product. I will store this original pill away and consume the copied product as I did with the gold coins befor'e.
Xiao Yi thought to himself and then packed the original pill in the box and put it inside the storage ring.
Then he glanced at the three copied pills in his palm, picked up one, swallowed it, and started running the twelve-turn return-to-one art.
Soon a mild energy spread through all his meridians and veins and then passed through his muscles; a darkish sweat ejected out from his skin pores and covered his whole body.
After a while, he consumed another pill and then another one; he consumed more than three pills until he found out that the pill's effect disappeared.
After opening his eyes, Xiao Yi's brow furrowed looking at dark scabs on his body, and an unbearable stench spread through the whole dormitory room.
'Thankfully I closed the air gaps before practicing, or the whole dormitory building must have been crying,'
Xiao Yi thought, and then he hurriedly appeared in the washroom and washed his body, scrubbing off all the dirt.
Then he opened the air purifier in the room and exchanged the fresh air, even cleaning the ground area he was sitting upon with a tool.
"Eighteen levels, although only three levels increased, but I will soon reach twenty by consuming these pills during practice, although they can't cleanse the marrow anymore, but they can work as a catalyst to increase my practice speed. Anyway, I can copy them unlimitedly."
Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully, looking at the bed, and lay down on it, closing his eyes.
