After Xue Qinghe announced the start of the match, the Royal Fight Team and the Divine Wind Team took their positions on the stage.
The referee teacher saw this and announced directly.
"The team exchange match between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Godwind Academy officially begins!"
After the referee finished speaking, he left the stage, leaving the space to the two teams.
The Royal Fight Team adopted a two-two-three formation.
Leading them was a slender man in his early twenties. His appearance was not particularly handsome, and his expression was stiff, as if his facial muscles were frozen. This man was the captain of the Royal Fight Team, one of the contemporary twin dragons of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, Yu Tianheng. Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, level 38 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. Beside him was his girlfriend, Dugu Yan.
Behind Yu Tianheng and his girlfriend were Yu Feng and Osler, both level 35 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Masters. The former's Martial Soul was the Wind Chime Bird, and the latter's was the Ghost Leopard.
In the last row were three people. The two on the outside were a pair of burly, sturdy brothers who looked very similar: Shi Mo and Shi Mo. Martial Soul: Black Tortoise Turtle. Both were level 37 Defense System Battle Soul Masters.
Protected by these six was the Support System member of the Royal Fight Team, Ning Rongrong. That's right, Ning Rongrong had already joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Previously, Ning Fengzhi had allowed Ning Rongrong to run away from home and join Shrek Academy just to give her a change of environment and temper her character.
However, only a few days after Ning Rongrong arrived, Shrek Academy went bust. The goal of tempering her personality hadn't been achieved, so it had to continue.
Having learned from the Shrek Academy experience, this time Ning Fengzhi chose an academy he knew inside and out: Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Although the atmosphere at this academy wasn't great, at least the environment of the Royal Fight Team was acceptable, so he just tucked her into the Royal Fight Team.
And so, Ning Rongrong entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Compared to the Royal Fight Team, the opposing Divine Wind Team was harder to distinguish. The seven members of the Shenfeng Seven were all tall and thin, with similar builds. They were all dressed in identical cyan uniforms, and each person wore a mask. They didn't look like academy students at all; they looked more like a group of assassins.
Yu Tianheng spoke to the masked man standing in the center of the One-Line Snake Formation opposite him.
"Feng Xiaotian of Godwind, known as the most talented person in Godwind Academy in sixty years. I am very curious about your strength!"
In the Godwind formation, the man in the center position, whose clothing differed slightly from the other six—the captain of Godwind, Feng Xiaotian—had the Martial Soul: Gale Two-Headed Wolf, a level 39 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.
Seeing Yu Tianheng's challenge, he didn't back down in the slightest and responded directly.
"I am also curious to see how strong you are, you who hold a slightly higher status in the Yu Family than even Yu Tianxin!"
Hearing Feng Xiaotian's retort, Yu Tianheng felt a chill in his heart. He felt a strong pressure rushing toward him and thought to himself, This Feng Xiaotian is not easy to deal with! However, this was perfect! Electric sparks flashed in Yu Tianheng's eyes, and a slightly excited smile appeared on his stiff face. He felt that today would surely be a hearty and satisfying battle.
Yu Tianheng replied in a low voice.
"You will see!"
Then, the two of them tacitly shouted in unison.
"Activate Martial Soul!!!"
With the captains giving the order, the team members executed it immediately.
A sharp, long whistle erupted from Feng Xiaotian's mouth, and a faint cyan light surged from his body. As the cyan light flickered, his body underwent obvious changes. With the sound of cracking bones, his muscles and bones expanded, and his physique became significantly larger. His long hair was dyed cyan, and most uniquely, a wolf head appeared on his left shoulder. As the Martial Soul was released, his Spirit Rings appeared one by one: two yellow and one purple, the standard optimal Spirit Ring configuration for the current era.
This was Feng Xiaotian's Martial Soul, the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, a mutation of the Gale Demon Wolf, a presence approaching a top-tier Martial Soul.
Among the other six members of Godwind Academy, one showed no change other than the appearance of Spirit Rings. The other five were quite similar; two grew wings on their backs and their hands turned into sharp claws, while the other three had their hands transform directly into wings. Their feather colors and wing shapes varied, but it was certain that they were all avian Martial Souls.
Watching the Shenfeng Seven, five of whom were avian-type Spirit Masters, Yun Ming felt a spark of interest. Should one say that Godwind Academy truly lived up to its reputation for specializing in the wind element?
Moreover, they were all high-level Soul Elders above level 35 with optimal Spirit Ring configurations. Although they seemed somewhat mediocre by Yun Ming's standards, considering the level of this era, they seemed to be the cream of the crop among their peers.
For this Divine Wind Team, where most members possessed flight abilities, Yun Ming was very curious to see how they would perform.
While Godwind Academy was undergoing their Martial Soul Avatar, the Royal Fight Team was not idle and completed their own transformations, though theirs were much flashier than Godwind Academy's.
A dazzling blue light shone from the center of Yu Tianheng's forehead, and then this blue light instantly spread, diffusing from his forehead to his entire body. Blue-purple electric arcs erupted like small snakes, swimming around his body. On the surface, Yu Tianheng's changes were not obvious. Except for a blue lightning symbol on his forehead, only one part of his body had changed due to the Martial Soul.
However, this single change was more thorough than the transformations of all the other Beast Soul Masters present. What changed was Yu Tianheng's right arm.
Yu Tianheng's right sleeve was completely reduced to ashes as his right arm expanded. The length of his arm increased by more than half a foot, and the entire arm became extremely thick, covered in blue-purple scales, with his palm turning into a claw covered in the same scales. Every joint in his hand became abnormally large, and the blue-purple electric snakes circling him continuously condensed and flowed over his arm. The three Spirit Rings—two yellow and one purple—did not circle his body like other Spirit Masters, but instead coiled around this specially mutated arm.
Seeing the familiar Dragon Transformation, Yun Ming felt no ripples in his heart; he had simply seen too many Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Masters.
Aside from Yu Tianheng, the others also underwent varying degrees of change.
The two Black Tortoise Turtle Spirit Masters, the Shi brothers, both shouted simultaneously, and earthy-yellow light rose from beneath their feet. As their Martial Souls were released, their shoulders slowly leaned forward and their backs arched. The earthy-yellow light condensed from their spirit power gathered toward their chests and backs, forming a massive, dark-yellow turtle shell.
The changes in the Ghost Leopard Spirit Master, Osler, were not significant. He remained in black clothes with black hair. His already delicate face turned somewhat pale, and his pupils had become two vertical slits, giving him a wild and dangerous aura.
The Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master, Yu Feng, had his hands transform into wings, but unlike the agility and ethereal feeling of the Godwind team, the feathers on his wings did not look soft at all, possessing a solid, sturdy texture instead.
The gorgeous Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's hand, making her look even more noble and refined.
However, what currently attracted the attention of Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Qian Renxue was not Ning Rongrong or Yu Tianheng, but Dugu Yan. In this soul duel, she was the most surprising, because her Martial Soul had undergone a massive change!
After her Martial Soul Avatar, Dugu Yan's eyes turned into purple dragon eyes, a purple flame mark appeared on her forehead, and black dragon scales began to emerge on her body. However, compared to the heavy dragon scales of Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the scales on Dugu Yan were more uniform. Sharp claws popped out from her forearms, turning into dragon claws. Moreover, she had four Spirit Rings at her feet—two yellow and two purple—making her the only Soul Ancestor among the fourteen Spirit Masters present; everyone else was a Soul Elder.
Seeing the four Spirit Rings at Dugu Yan's feet, the Godwind members—excluding Feng Xiaotian—exclaimed in shock.
"A Soul Ancestor!!!"
They were stunned; her spirit power cultivation was even higher than their captain, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power.
As for Feng Xiaotian himself, he felt that things had become troublesome. He sensed a more dangerous aura from Dugu Yan than from Yu Tianheng; it was a warning originating from his own Martial Soul.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Dugu Yan, who had transformed from a snake into a dragon, in a daze. However, he quickly reacted and asked Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, has Dugu-niece's Martial Soul evolved?"
Hearing the question, Dugu Bo was filled with pride. His desire to show off stirred, and he responded with a hint of arrogance.
"Not bad, Yan-yan's Martial Soul has already evolved, transforming from a snake into a dragon. Now, Yan-yan's Martial Soul is..."
"The Hell Poison Dragon!"
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's confirmation, a flash of light crossed Ning Fengzhi's eyes. Thinking of his own family's situation, he mused to himself, Perhaps this is also an opportunity for the Ning Family!
However, the occasion was not appropriate, so he would have to ask later.
Yun Ming looked at Dugu Yan's latest Dragon Maiden form; even though he had seen it before, he still felt a sense of wonder. He had never expected that they would end up creating a True Dragon-level Martial Soul!
It could only be said that the Biphosphorus Snake Martial Soul had even more potential than Yun Ming had imagined!
Yu Tianheng glanced at his girlfriend, whose Martial Soul was no worse than his and whose cultivation was even stronger, and sighed inwardly! He felt that in his future life, the roles of attacker and defender might well be reversed. Thinking of this, he felt a sense of unwillingness, and then resolutely charged toward Feng Xiaotian!
With electric light surging across his body, Yu Tianheng stomped his foot, shattering the floor tiles, and launched himself like a cannonball, aiming a claw directly at Feng Xiaotian's chest.
"Feng Xiaotian! Come on!"
