Wu Jie saw that both teams were ready and retreated to the edge of the Arena.
Then, he said loudly, "Both sides may now release their Martial Souls."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Arena burst into dazzling light.
Soul Rings and Martial Souls were summoned simultaneously, yellow, purple, firelight, and cyan intertwined, forming a colorful scene.
Along with the burst of color came the powerful aura of both teams.
The aura of just over a dozen people even caused the air in the arena to vibrate.
It gave people a sense of oppression as if facing an army.
However, Battle Soul Masters at the Soul Ancestor level with an average level of over thirty could indeed hold off a hundred people.
Especially when they were Fire-attribute and Wind-attribute Soul Masters, in a frontal war, they were no less than an army of a thousand.
From the comparison of auras, the gap between the two sides seemed somewhat obvious.
Each of the eight members of the Divine Wind Team was a Soul Ancestor with three Soul Rings.
Moreover, the colors of the Soul Rings were all uniformly yellow, yellow, and purple, the best Soul Ring ratio.
On the other hand, in the Blazing Fire Team, two people were still only Soul Greatmasters with two Soul Rings.
What was even worse was that Quan Yi, standing at the front of the team, did not summon his Martial Soul immediately.
This caused the Blazing Fire Team to be directly overwhelmed by the Divine Wind Team in terms of momentum.
Especially Feng Xiaotian of the Divine Wind Team, the aura he exuded was completely comparable to the combined aura of Huo Wushuang and Lin Meng, the two Power Attack System Soul Masters of the Blazing Fire Team.
Feng Xiaotian was five years older than Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
This year, the sixteen-year-old Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power level reached thirty-six. Cyan light surged on Feng Xiaotian's body, and his muscles and bones swelled in an instant. His figure instantly surpassed the tall Quan Yi, and his hair was also dyed cyan.
The most peculiar thing was that a wolf head emerged from his left shoulder, giving people a strange feeling.
This was Feng Xiaotian's proud Martial Soul, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.
This was a Martial Soul mutated from the mid-to-high-level Martial Soul, Gale Demon Wolf.
After summoning his Martial Soul.
Feng Xiaotian looked at Quan Yi, who was not moving at all, and a doubt arose in his heart.
What's going on with this guy? Now that I think about it, it's illogical to put a Tool Soul Master at the front. Although Feng Xiaotian was somewhat arrogant, he was not a fool.
A bad feeling flashed in his heart.
At this time, Wu Jie had already arrived at the edge of the Arena. He said urgently, "Now, I announce that the eight-on-eight Soul Fight officially begins." Then, he withdrew from the Arena.
The match began, and the Divine Wind Team took the lead in launching Soul Skills.
The members behind Feng Xiaotian, according to plan, flew into the sky at the same time, choosing to attack the enemy's rear from the sky.
Four of the eight people spread their wings behind them, and with a flap, the wings took advantage of the power of the wind to soar into the sky.
Wind-attribute Soul Masters had a few more advantages when flying than other flying Soul Masters.
Because they could sense the wind in the air and use it.
Of the remaining four people, three were ground squads that could not fly, and one was their leader, Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian was different from the three people behind him. He had the ability to fly. According to the original plan, he should also be flying.
However, as the planner, Feng Xiaotian did not choose to ascend.
He saw the first yellow Soul Ring behind him light up.
Sharp wolf claws popped out from his palms, and in an instant, both claws swung towards the direction of Quan Yi at the same time.
The wolf claws were surrounded by cyan light, and at the moment of swinging, each wolf claw released five Wind Blades.
This was Feng Xiaotian's First Soul Skill, Wind Blade Array.
Ten Wind Blades, like sharp knives, looked very sharp and swift.
Moreover, this move completely sealed off all the ways Quan Yi could dodge through the number and trajectory of the Wind Blades.
Feng Xiaotian violated his pre-match strategy by impulsively attacking Quan Yi first, driven purely by instinct.
The unease in his heart spurred this sudden action; he needed to ascertain Quan Yi's true strength before ascending, or his mind wouldn't be at peace.
Quan Yi watched the sharp Wind Blades without a ripple in his heart.
In his eyes, the Wind Blades seemed to move in slow motion.
He could easily dodge them with a slight shift.
However, Quan Yi chose not to evade, standing his ground and enduring the attack.
Because dodging would disrupt the formation behind him.
Quan Yi's heart stirred, and vermillion light emanated from every part of his body.
The red light surged precisely where the ten Wind Blades were about to strike.
"Clang! Clang!"
Several sharp, metallic impacts exploded instantly.
What! Feng Xiaotian, who had been intently watching Quan Yi, trembled violently, staring in disbelief at Quan Yi's body.
The moment his Wind Blades struck Quan Yi's body, they shattered as if hitting a metal wall.
Focusing again, he saw vermillion Soul Power armor appearing on the parts of Quan Yi's body that had made contact with the Wind Blades.
Translucent and flawless, like red jade, the hard substance instantly covered the points of impact.
With a glance, Feng Xiaotian recognized it as a defense formed by compressed Soul Power.
Such precise Soul Power control, such a powerful Soul Power level.
To block his First Soul Skill with just compressed Soul Power.
And that was without even activating his Martial Soul.
*Third Soul Skill, Gale Twin Wings.*
*Second Soul Skill, Twin Wolves Possession.*
Behind Feng Xiaotian, a pair of enormous cyan wings suddenly burst forth.
At the same time, a huge cyan light formed a Twin-Headed Wolf phantom behind him.
The light and shadow merged into his body, increasing his attack, defense, and agility by fifty percent.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
With a gentle flap, the wings stirred up a massive gust of wind within the arena, propelling his body upwards.
These wings, which looked incredibly cool, were a relatively rare flying-type Soul Skill.
As a Thousand-Year Soul Skill, it not only granted Feng Xiaotian extreme flying ability but also had some hidden effects.
However, now, he activated his Third Soul Skill purely to ascend from the ground, quickly distancing himself from Quan Yi.
Because, from that one probing attack, he had already conceived the idea that he was no match for Quan Yi.
All his previous arrogance vanished, and he even felt a pang of regret.
At this moment, his only thought was to escape the ground as quickly as possible, to get away from Quan Yi.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian's huge wings and his attempt to escape, Quan Yi.
His right foot stomped forcefully on the ground.
Crack!
The hard ground was directly crushed into a small pit by the immense force.
His massive frame unleashed a contrasting burst of speed, and with one stride, he leaped directly in front of Feng Xiaotian.
However, Feng Xiaotian's flying speed was not slow either; with just a flap of his wings, his body flew off the ground.
At the same time, he curled his body into a ball, narrowly avoiding Quan Yi's grasp.
In the instant of his successful escape, Feng Xiaotian broke out in a cold sweat and felt an overwhelming sense of joy from escaping the jaws of death.
"What explosive power is that? I was almost caught. Where did this monster come from?"
Feng Xiaotian cursed Quan Yi inwardly, even starting to curse Wu Jie, who had invited them to the competition.
However, even as various swear words flashed through his mind, his body didn't stop moving.
After dodging Quan Yi's grasp, his wings flapped rapidly again, propelling him higher.
He flew to a height of forty to fifty meters.
As long as he could reach that height, he would be invincible.
