Seeing Yu Tianheng's dragon claws trailing sparks and lightning, Feng Xiaotian did not hold back in the slightest.
He thrust his wolf claws forward, accelerating almost instantly as he charged straight at Yu Tianheng. Due to his extreme speed, the cyan soul light trailed behind him like a flame, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Yu Tianheng.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian move with such incredible speed, Yu Tianheng was shocked. Isn't this guy a Power Attack System soul master? How is he faster than his own teammate, the Ghost Leopard Osler!
However, now was not the time to dwell on such things. Feng Xiaotian had arrived too quickly, and the trajectory he had previously set for his claws was now slightly off; he had to change his move immediately. The first soul ring beneath Yu Tianheng's feet lit up.
Yu Tianheng's first soul skill, 'Thunder Dragon Claw'.
Brilliant blue light accelerated and flickered along Yu Tianheng's thick, dragon-like arm, condensing into a claw shape as he adjusted his trajectory and swiped out. The electric dragon claw flew out, striking toward Feng Xiaotian's chest; the air distorted violently wherever it passed, erupting with a heart-stopping crackling sound.
Feng Xiaotian had anticipated this situation. He had sparred with Yu Tianheng's cousin before and had some understanding of the first three soul rings of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit. The moment he saw Yu Tianheng's first soul ring light up, his own first soul ring lit up almost simultaneously.
Feng Xiaotian's first soul skill, 'Wind Blade Array'.
Seeing the right hand Yu Tianheng swiped at him, Feng Xiaotian swung his left wolf claw. Five semi-circular wind blades cut toward the Thunder Dragon Claw with a piercing, air-tearing sound.
"Crack."
The Thunder Dragon Claw shattered the five wind blades one after another as if breaking through solid objects, but its power was nearly spent. Feng Xiaotian's left wolf claw struck again with force, directly shattering the Thunder Dragon Claw into electric arcs that dissipated into the air.
After shattering the dragon claw, Feng Xiaotian immediately swung his right hand to launch five wind blades in a counterattack. Seeing the wind blades slashing toward him again, Yu Tianheng could not adjust in time and could only channel his soul power into his right arm, using it as a shield to block the blades.
The wind blades scraped across the thick, blue-purple dragon scales, emitting a teeth-grinding, harsh friction sound. Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and swung his arm outward, shattering the five wind blades, but not before five shallow claw marks were left on his arm.
Their initial clash happened in the blink of an eye and ended unexpectedly. Yu Tianheng, who possessed the top-tier beast spirit Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, had lost a step in their first exchange despite only a one-level difference in soul power. This was something none of the Huangdou team members had anticipated.
The others hadn't even begun to move, and Yu Tianheng was already injured.
Seeing Yu Tianheng lose to Feng Xiaotian in the first exchange, Dugu Bo's expression turned ugly, and he cursed Yu Tianheng for being a disgrace in his heart.
Chen Xin offered a comment.
"That kid has studied the release of soul skills!"
Feng Xiaotian had won the brief clash because he had split his 'Wind Blade Array' soul skill, which was usually released all at once, into two stages, applying a simple secondary use to the skill. Otherwise, if all ten wind blades had been released at once, Yu Tianheng could have detonated his 'Thunder Dragon Claw' early to blow them all away, forcing a draw.
Dugu Bo spoke up.
"It's a pity, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit is much stronger than the Gale Two-Headed Wolf. This minor injury won't affect Yu Tianheng at all; the fight is far from over!"
Chen Xin glanced at Dugu Bo and ignored him; he knew Dugu Bo was being biased.
Yu Tianheng, having lost a step, was not significantly affected. His opponent was a well-known genius, so losing one move was fine! He would just win it back later.
Feng Xiaotian, having gained a slight advantage, did not get cocky. The gap between their spirits made him realize that winning would be a long road! Feng Xiaotian shouted to his teammates.
"Ascend, one! Disturb!"
Hearing Feng Xiaotian's command, the Shenfeng team immediately ascended. Even the student whose spirit was unknown activated his third soul skill, a pair of cyan wings appearing on his back as he flew into the sky with the others.
The 'one' and 'disturb' Feng Xiaotian had ordered were internal team codes. 'One' referred to the support soul master, and 'disturb' referred to their tactical goal: using unilateral air-to-ground firepower to disrupt the opponents' positioning and movements.
Otherwise, in such a small arena, the instructions would be given directly to the opponents. As long as they could make the opponents realize their intent a second later, they would have a better chance of victory!
Then, the six of them dove toward the rear of the Huangdou team. As they flew, three of them fired wind blades and air-piercing bullets, targeting Ning Rongrong.
Seeing the direction of the wind blades, Yu Tianheng shouted.
"Protect Rongrong!"
He then lunged at Feng Xiaotian again, and the rest of the Huangdou team moved as well.
Taking advantage of the distance between her and the attacks, Ning Rongrong flashed her two soul rings and silently chanted her soul incantation.
"Seven Treasures Turn Out With Glazed Light."
"Seven Treasures Famous, one says: Power, two says: Speed."
Five rays of colorful light were released simultaneously, directly enveloping the captain Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the Wind Chime Bird Yu Feng. Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan received power and speed buffs, while Yu Feng received a speed buff. Ning Rongrong was only a Soul Grand Master; buffing three people across boundaries was already very difficult, and with a Soul Ancestor among them, she couldn't possibly do more!
It was in this situation! The person who was about to fight but hadn't received a buff felt a bit awkward!
Once Ning Rongrong finished her work, the two Black Tortoise Turtle soul masters saw the wind blades from the sky approaching Ning Rongrong from all directions. They let out a low roar simultaneously, their second soul rings flashing brightly, and a faint, non-intense light lit up the edges of their tortoise shells.
"Shield Transformation."
The brothers roared in unison. The tortoise shells on their chests and backs detached strangely into their hands, transforming into two massive tortoise shell shields with a diameter of one meter. Having lost their shells, they not only became much shorter than their pre-transformation forms, but their robust physiques also became thin and weak, as if the shells were made of their own bone and blood—a sight so strange it was breathtaking.
The two moved quickly to Ning Rongrong's sides, tilting the four shields to form a wall, protecting Ning Rongrong and their own miniature selves beneath the tortoise shell shields. They observed the battle outside through the gaps in the edges.
"Pitter-patter."
A large number of wind blades and wind bullets rained down from the sky, striking the shields and producing a series of crisp sounds. The Shi Family Brothers used both hands to steady their shields.
Chen Xin watched Feng Xiaotian, whom he had just praised, immediately order his teammates to surround his Rongrong. His mood plummeted. It was fortunate that the Shi Family Brothers were fast enough to protect Ning Rongrong. Otherwise, once the battle ended, he would definitely have to 'instruct' Feng Xiaotian.
Returning to the main battlefield.
It wasn't just Yu Tianheng lunging at Feng Xiaotian; Dugu Yan and Osler were also attacking.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian did not hesitate and activated both his second and third soul skills.
A pair of massive cyan wings spread out from behind Feng Xiaotian. At the same time, a cyan light shadow condensed behind him, looking exactly like a Gale Two-Headed Wolf. Set against the vast and dazzling light, Feng Xiaotian soared into the air. With just one flap of his wings, he utilized the wind in the air to rise fifty meters above the ground.
This distance was completely out of reach for Yu Tianheng and Osler.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian ascend, Dugu Yan immediately flashed her third soul ring.
Dugu Yan's new third soul skill, Hell Dragon Breath.
A stream of dragon breath, resembling purple-red flames, erupted from Dugu Yan's mouth and surged toward Feng Xiaotian.
Seeing the incoming dragon breath, Feng Xiaotian did not feel any scorching heat, but he did sense a lethal danger. Although he did not know the exact nature of that soul skill, he knew he absolutely could not take it head-on!
And the reality was exactly as he feared; Dugu Yan's Hell Dragon Breath was not actually energy-based fire, but a potent poison—a corrosive toxin even more vicious than her Biphosphorus Snake Venom.
Feng Xiaotian flapped his wings, shifting his position more than ten meters away. Watching as the dragon breath struck an empty section of the spectator stands and instantly melted and dissolved the area it hit, his hair stood on end. What was that?!! It was far too dangerous!
Seeing that Feng Xiaotian had dodged it so easily, Dugu Yan knew it was useless and ceased her soul skill.
During the time it took for Feng Xiaotian to dodge the dragon breath, the two-headed wolf phantom behind him gradually merged with his body. This was his second soul skill, Dual Wolf Avatar, which increased his attack, defense, and agility by fifty percent. Combined with his third soul skill, Gale Wings, his state had already been elevated to its peak.
Feng Xiaotian lowered his head, looking at Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng, and the others who were eyeing him like tigers, and said in a deep voice.
"Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng, you Huangdou Team members are even stronger than I imagined! But that is for the best; if you weren't strong enough, how would I be able to see the true power of my Self-Created Soul Skill!"
"Watch out!"
"Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiaotian dove toward Dugu Yan and the others. His body descended from the sky like a meteor chasing the moon. Strangely, there was no sound during his descent. The pervasive cyan light was entirely restrained. At this very moment, his body and wings had reached what could only be described as a perfect posture.
What did the lack of sound signify? It meant that air resistance had minimal impact on him. Only a Soul Master with the wind attribute like him could so accurately find the optimal angle of descent within the wind.
The sharp edges of his wings glinted with a faint cyan light under the sunlight; the so-called Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes was clearly to be unleashed from these very wings.
