Taking You to Win the Championship

Immediately, a look of obvious surprise appeared on the girl's face.

She felt a warmth spreading through her body.

Is this the opponent's domain bonus effect?

Although it cannot directly help restore one's Soul Power, it greatly reduces the consumption and power of Soul Skill.

But why would he do that?

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian was flying high in the sky, made a move.

The two-headed wolf's silhouette gradually merged with his body; this was his second Soul Skill, Twin Wolves Possession. Under this enhancement, his attack, defense, and agility would be greatly improved.

In addition, his third Soul Skill, Gale Wings, has brought him to his peak condition.

With the help of these two Soul Skills, his Self-Created Soul Skill can be brought into play.

With a long howl, Feng Xiaotian moved. His body descended from the sky like a shooting star, without making a sound. The azure light he emitted was completely contained, and his body and wings formed a perfect angle.

With the blessing of the wind attribute, he has found the perfect descent channel at this moment.

The sharp edges of the wings gleamed with Youyou blue light under the sunlight; the so-called Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes originated from the edges of these wings.

In the blink of an eye, the light wings slashed, completing their first clash with the longsword in Su Cheng's hand.

"Clang—"

Amidst the echoing clang of metal, Feng Xiaotian used the momentum to take flight again, his body spinning in the air as his right wing slashed down once more.

Su Cheng continued to raise his sword to block, just as he had promised, without using any Soul Skill to interrupt, and he also controlled his strength extremely well.

Feng Xiaotian sprang back up again, using an extremely ingenious method of leverage, which made Su Cheng nod in approval.

This Soul Skill is not as simple as it appears on the surface. At least in terms of its concept, it surpasses the vast majority of Soul Master geniuses.

Su Cheng himself is an expert in this field and has a lot to say on it.

His earliest Self-Created Soul Skill was Sword Stance and charged slash evolved from basic sword moves, which he used to defeat Qian Renxue, who was stronger than him in terms of Soul Power, Martial Soul, and domain.

Feng Xiaotian's attack speed was very fast, and he had already completed five attacks in a short time. The power of his Light Wing Slash was also gradually increasing.

During this process, he also continuously used the wind to change his own trajectory.

This Self-Created Soul Skill isn't particularly strong. Its biggest feature is using speed and gravity to continuously enhance its attack power, but it's too easily interrupted. It's far inferior to the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect.

However, Feng Xiaotian is still young, and he is already quite talented to have achieved this.

Su Cheng glanced at Feng Xiaotian, who was attacking relentlessly from mid-air, then turned his gaze to the support-type Soul Master opposite him, who looked surprised because of the domain's enhancement.

"Use all the support skills you have on him, otherwise he won't last until the end."

His words immediately caused an uproar among the audience.

The other players watching the game exchanged bewildered glances, their feelings a mix of emotions.

"..."

The girl then realized the purpose behind the other party's buff to her, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

However, it did not refuse. Three Soul Ring lit up one after another, doing its best to enhance Feng Xiaotian's physical condition.

Actually, Su Cheng was also a little speechless.

When Feng Xiaotian's first strike landed, he already had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen.

Given the opponent's current physical condition and Soul Power, he absolutely cannot survive long enough to finish unleashing his Soul Skill on his own.

He thought to himself that Feng Xiaotian was really a strange person, wasting his talent without even realizing it.

He clearly had the potential to become Titled Douluo, but instead of focusing on his studies, he went and created his Self-Created Soul Skill. In the end, the Soul Skill he developed were only used in team battles, and he couldn't fully utilize them on his own.

The clash between the two continued.

After twenty strikes, an extremely terrifying and sharp Soul Power erupted around Feng Xiaotian's body.

Streaks of azure light burst forth, and even the surrounding wind pressure was like sharp blades. The impact of the aftershocks was comparable to that of Soul Ancestor, and its direct power was already approaching that of Soul King.

However, under this fierce and relentless offensive, Su Cheng remained standing still like a rock, without moving an inch.

On the other hand, Feng Xiaotian's wings, which were connected to his arms, were now almost completely numb from the shock.

He was even more horrified, thinking to himself that Su Cheng in front of him was truly terrifying. If it weren't for the little girl Qingyu behind Qing Yu constantly supporting him with her Soul Skill, he himself would have been unable to hold on any longer.

"Twenty-three... twenty-four..."

The audience in the stands were also watching intently, silently observing the subsequent changes of Feng Xiaotian's Soul Skill.

"Twenty-eight... twenty-nine..."

The other members of the Godwind Academy Team, who had been knocked off the stage, secretly cheered for their captain.

"... Thirty-six!"

Finally, amidst Feng Xiaotian's fierce roar, the final, transformative strike came crashing down.

At this point, Su Cheng keenly sensed that the other party's aura had changed.

The power of this attack even slightly surpassed that of a peak Soul King and approached that of a Soul Emperor.

"..."

Su Cheng was somewhat disappointed.

After putting in so much effort, taking such a huge risk, and accumulating power for so long, even suffering severe physical damage in the process, all for the final blow, this is the result?

It's not that he looks down on the attack power of a Soul Emperor.

This has nothing to do with his own strength or weakness.

The cost-effectiveness of this Self-Created Soul Skill is simply too low.

Originally, he thought that accumulating power to this extent might lead to a qualitative change, or even resonate with the laws, drawing on the elemental power of the surrounding environment, and uniting with the power of heaven and earth.

But there was none at all.

Qualitative changes have indeed occurred, but far too few.

He sighed silently to himself.

Su Cheng swung his sword and slashed diagonally.

The cyan blade light, condensed to its limit, shattered instantly.

Then, Feng Xiaotian fell to the ground, his face pale.

The sword strike did not harm him in the slightest; it was because he had used up all his Soul Power after using this Soul Skill.

"Whoosh—"

As the referee announced the end of the battle, enthusiastic applause instantly swept through the entire arena, with the audience cheering excitedly and marveling at the excitement of the fight.

The VIP section was completely silent at this moment.

Chen Xin, Salas, Ning Fengzhi, and the others looked solemn.

The two attacks were completely neutralized!

How is that possible?

Su Cheng's ability to unleash this sword strike did not surprise them.

The power of that sword move on the first day was much stronger than this.

What's frightening is this astonishing control, this perfect timing, which means that Su Cheng suffered almost no losses in this battle.

"Soul Saint- level combat power..."

They all said this silently to themselves at the same time.

"Do you know how old I am?" Su Cheng said calmly, looking at Feng Xiaotian who had collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"I am not yet fifteen years old."

"..." Feng Xiaotian's heavy breathing stopped abruptly, and he looked up in astonishment.

"I won against you today without using any Soul Skill; I was simply ten levels higher than you. It's that simple."

"Doing the right thing at the right stage, just to prove your talent, and creating your Self-Created Soul Skill is just gambling with your future."

"Because your talent doesn't lie here."

"A high Innate Soul Power only proves that you are a genius in cultivation. It would be foolish to focus on the trivial and neglect the essential."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian fell silent, unsure how to refute it.

Although he was exceptionally talented, he was not an arrogant person.

Feng Xiaotian's background was ordinary, and his Gale Demon Wolf was only a slightly above-average Martial Soul. It was because of the Martial Soul Mutation that he possessed the Innate Full Soul Power.

But in the past, he considered this talent to be nothing more than a gift from birth, which proved nothing.

It wasn't that no one had said similar things to him before, but he was too talented. Even though he spent a lot of time Self-Created Soul Skill, he was still able to crush his peers in terms of level, and he didn't realize that this was a waste of effort.

Being able to Self-Created Soul Skill was something he was extremely proud of.

Su Cheng looked at him and pondered for a moment before saying, "You have good talent. My team will reserve a starting spot for you. If you don't make it to the finals, or if you do make it to the finals and want to compete for the championship, you can come to me anytime."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's eyes widened slightly. He didn't have time to dwell on the distracting thoughts that had been swirling in his mind, and exclaimed in astonishment, "You—"

"Don't rush to answer. Wait until you've calmed down and thought it through before you speak."

After saying that, he ignored Feng Xiaotian and turned to look at the support-type Soul Master from the Godwind Academy Team who had also exhausted his Soul Power.

What's your name?

"Feng Qingyu".

The girl's eyes were clear, showing little sign of disappointment beyond a hint of curiosity.

She has exceptional talent and is very young; the next major competition will be her time to shine.

I came here as a substitute player mainly to take this opportunity to broaden my horizons and gain more experience.

"Your Martial Soul is the shadow?"

Although Su Cheng uttered a question, his tone was extremely certain.

Feng Qingyu was even more surprised upon hearing this.

The wind is silent and invisible, and Shadow Martial Soul are extremely rare and not easily detected. Unexpectedly, Su Cheng Insight through it so easily.

She didn't deny it, and nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"If I remember correctly, there's also a Shadow Martial Soul user at the Blazing Fire Academy, but it's fire-attribute, and he's developing into a control-type Soul Master," Su Cheng thought to himself. "Different attributes of the Body Martial Soul, that's interesting. But that person from the Blazing Fire Academy is a bit lacking in talent, while this Feng Qingyu in front of me..."

Thinking of this, he nodded gently to the Feng Qingyu and said, "You can also join our team, and you'll be a starting player in the finals."

After saying that, he prepared to turn around and leave the ring.

"Good."

"What?"

The crisp, melodious sound made Su Cheng pause slightly.

"I said okay, didn't you say I could join your team?"

Feng Qingyu blinked and looked at him innocently.

Su Cheng immediately became somewhat suspicious.

What's wrong with this girl? She just agreed like that.

He then turned to look at Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian glanced at the girl with a wry smile and explained to Su Cheng, "She's the granddaughter of our academy's dean. She can do whatever she wants."

"...Alright." Su Cheng was naturally happy to agree. "But even if you decide, you'll have to wait until the finals to play."

This is determined by the competition format.

Before the preliminary rounds began, each academy had already submitted its list of participants. Only when the final spots were determined and the academy teams went to Spirit City for the finals could they resubmit their list of participants.

Moreover, at that time, Feng Qingyu will have to transfer to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy first.

"It's okay," Feng Qingyu said casually. "Can I go check out your team first?"

"Whatever," Su Cheng shrugged, saying indifferently.

His arrival is just in time, making it easier for him to begin researching the other party's Martial Soul situation sooner.

"Captain, I'll be going now. Take care of yourself."

Feng Qingyu Feng Xiaotian without any sincerity.

He then followed Su Cheng off the stage.

Sitting on the ground, having recovered somewhat, Feng Xiaotian sighed helplessly and waved his hand.

His mood became increasingly depressed.

"Damn it! I lost so badly the first time I used my Self-Created Soul Skill in public. It's so embarrassing. I wonder what Huo Wu will think of me now."

If Su Cheng were to hear Feng Xiaotian's thoughts, he might just turn around and deliver a fatal blow.

In the VIP section.

After hearing Su Cheng's remarks about recruiting opponents, Ning Fengzhi was first surprised, and then felt somewhat helpless.

While there's nothing inherently wrong with what you said, and the second team is indeed in charge, it's not necessary to say it so publicly. It could lead to unnecessary speculation.

He glanced at Xue Ye beside him and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Xiao Cheng is still young and may have spoken without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."

Xue Ye waved his hand, "Sect Master Ning, this is a good thing. To be honest, you and I both know the strength of the Spirit Hall. Let him arrange the second team as he sees fit."

That's what he said, but he actually had another idea in mind.

That is Godwind Academy.

Xue Ye was overjoyed, especially after hearing Feng Qingyu's identity.

Although the Five Element Academy belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire, there is still a layer between them, and it is not subject to the empire's control, so it has a high degree of autonomy.

The imperial family has had designs on these academies for quite some time, but it has remained just that – designs.

After today, he might be able to use this opportunity to get closer to those powerful Element Academy, which he would certainly be happy to see.

On the other side, the discussion in the spectator area of the participating colleges was much louder.

In particular, Su Cheng's public recruitment of members from the Godwind Academy was particularly displeasing.

They didn't think too much about it; they were mainly just envious and jealous.

"... Damn, Su Cheng from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is such a show-off."

Suddenly, someone muttered something to themselves, which immediately resonated with everyone.

"That's so true, I just felt that way."

"And what did you mean by leading them to the championship? You make it sound so easy, like winning a championship is as simple as having hands."

"Well, what they said doesn't seem to be wrong, it's easier than what we're saying..."

"..."

Heavenly Water Academy Team direction.

Unlike the atmosphere of other teams, this place feels much more lively.

Moreover, because this academy only admits pretty girls, they are often secretly watched by many people.

"So cool..."

The speaker was an oval-faced girl standing at the very front of the spectators. She was petite with a youthful face, but her short, dark green hair made her look very energetic.

As she spoke, she turned to look at another girl with long, light blue hair behind her, "Sister, do you think he might invite me to join their team too? Should I accept?"

After speaking, she suddenly fell into deep thought, her pretty face slightly flushed. It was unclear what she was thinking about, which left the others feeling helpless.

It's started again.

"Seventh girl, stop being so infatuated. If someone is really going to invite someone, it will be the captain, not you."

At that moment, a red-haired girl standing next to them teased them.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

"..."

Laughter and cheerful chatter filled the air, creating a joyful atmosphere that made the other trainees around them quite envious.

Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong flipped through the latest intelligence she had obtained from Salas, her expression complex.

"Soul King who is not yet fifteen years old possesses two Thousand Year Soul Rings and two ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Self-Created Soul Skill, which, without the support of Soul Ring skills, possesses attack power comparable to that of a Soul Emperor."

"Xiao Xue even went to meet him once."

"Su Cheng, it really was you..."

Just then, someone came to report.

"Elder Token, Soul Grandmaster's cultivation level?"

Bibi Dong was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, his senses expanded, and he instantly noticed the figure sitting quietly in the Council Hall, waiting.

His eyes flickered slightly, "Xiao Gang?!"

Her slender, fair fingers tightened instantly, crumpling the paper in her hand into many wrinkles.

He then looked down at the stack of documents.

The scene from that dream several years ago has not faded with time; instead, it has become more and more vivid.

Perhaps due to the mental torment of the Rakshasa God Test, she was constantly torn between gods and demons in her heart, and her emotions became increasingly extreme.

Those harsh words seemed to echo in my ears all the time.
