Sudden Situation, Feng Xiaotian's Interception

A moment later.

"Great, it's a solitary Swift Wind Demon Wolf."

Lin Yu finally spotted the Swift Wind Demon Wolf marked by the god. It was lying beneath a large tree, taking a nap.

But he did not notice that, ahead to his left, two people were rapidly approaching the Swift Wind Demon Wolf.

One was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The other was a sixteen-year-old youth.

Both wore Godwind Academy uniforms and identical black masks. Their white hair stood upright.

They looked seventy percent alike.

One was Godwind Academy's dean, Feng Tianxiao.

The other was a student of Godwind Academy, Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian and his father spotted Lin Yu first, their faces full of confusion. "What's with that kid?"

"Dad, he seems to be heading for my target, the Swift Wind Demon Wolf."

Feng Tianxiao looked puzzled. "Is he planning to hunt that Swift Wind Demon Wolf? He can't even be eight years old yet, can he? Isn't rushing over there just courting death?"

"Never mind, Xiaotian. Go stop that kid. I'll deal with the Swift Wind Demon Wolf for you, then you can come over and absorb it."

"Alright."

Feng Tianxiao immediately charged toward the Swift Wind Demon Wolf.

Meanwhile, Feng Xiaotian moved to intercept Lin Yu.

"Hm? Why are there other people here?"

Qian Daoliu's expression changed in the distance. He was unsure whether these external factors were also within the god's control.

But he knew that he absolutely could not let anyone touch that Swift Wind Demon Wolf.

Qian Daoliu immediately spread out his Spiritual Power.

"Get lost!!!"

That roar of spiritual force instantly froze Feng Tianxiao in terror, cold sweat soaking his back.

"Get lost! Stay away from that Swift Wind Demon Wolf!"

Feng Tianxiao was terrified. "My apologies. This junior did not know it was some senior's target. This junior... this junior will leave at once!"

By then, Feng Xiaotian had already appeared in front of Lin Yu. He shouted coldly, "Hey! Kid, what are you trying to do?!"

"Hm? This guy... looks kind of familiar?" Lin Yu studied Feng Xiaotian and felt a strange sense of familiarity, but he had no time to think about it. His top priority now was completing the First Trial.

Lin Yu said, "Move."

"That Swift Wind Demon Wolf is a soul beast around fifteen hundred years old. Aren't you just throwing your life away by rushing over there at your age? Besides, it's my target. Stop right there!"

Feng Xiaotian sternly tried to halt Lin Yu.

Lin Yu ignored him and intended to fly past Feng Xiaotian.

Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian helplessly shook his head and said arrogantly, "Sigh, kid, I told you to stop, but you wouldn't listen. Do you really have to make me step in and stop you myself?"

"Fine, don't blame me if I hurt you~"

"Martial Soul Possession! Swift Wind Two-Headed Demon Wolf!"

"Awoo!"

A wolf-type Martial Soul with two wolf heads appeared behind Feng Xiaotian. Two soul rings rose beneath his feet: yellow, yellow—level 30, two rings.

"Oh? Could this Martial Soul be..."

At the sight of that Martial Soul, Lin Yu's expression finally shifted slightly. He chuckled inwardly. Heh, no wonder he looked so familiar. It's Feng Xiaotian from Godwind Academy.

Wait, isn't this guy already sixteen this year? How is he only level 30? (In this book, the ages of notable prodigies who appear frequently will generally be lowered by one year.)

If I remember correctly, his Self-Created Soul Skill, Swift Wind Continuous Slash, was created and performed on the foundation of his third Soul Skill, Swift Wind Double Wings, right? He doesn't even have his third soul ring yet. Why is he still progressing so slowly?

What a waste of Innate Full Soul Power!

Watching Feng Xiaotian throw a punch at him, Lin Yu did not take him seriously at all. "Move. You can't stop me."

Feng Xiaotian: "????"

Is this kid crazy?

He doesn't even look eight. His Soul Power must not have reached level 20, yet he actually has the nerve to say I can't stop him?

I, Feng Xiaotian, am a genius with Innate Full Soul Power—a level 30, two-ring Soul Grandmaster!

Feng Xiaotian said in extreme irritation, "Is something wrong with your brain, kid? Can't you see I'm a Soul Grandmaster? Stay put!!"

As he spoke, Feng Xiaotian threw a punch.

It was incredibly fast.

"Heh." The corner of Feng Xiaotian's mouth lifted slightly.

In his eyes, Lin Yu would definitely be unable to block that punch and would be knocked to the ground in a single move.

However!

Slap!

Lin Yu easily caught the punch with one palm, then drove a fist into Feng Xiaotian's abdomen.

Bang!

"What?! Urgh!"

Feng Xiaotian was sent flying by Lin Yu's punch. He barely steadied himself and did not fall to the ground, his face filled with disbelief. "How is that possible?!"

"How dare you!"

"First Spirit Ability, Wind Blade Array!"

With a sweep of both hands, Feng Xiaotian instantly slashed out ten semicircular Wind Blades with his wolf claws.

"Wind? That's one of my domains. Before me, your wind is utterly worthless."

Hovering in midair, Lin Yu looked down indifferently at Feng Xiaotian. He switched to Wind Dominance and merely waved his hand.

He effortlessly neutralized Feng Xiaotian's First Spirit Ability.

With his Ultimate Attribute, Lin Yu completely outclassed soul masters of the same attribute. Fighting Feng Xiaotian was nothing but a one-sided beating.

"How can this be... How can this be?! My First Spirit Ability had no effect on him at all. Impossible!"

"This is impossible!!!"

For the first time, Feng Xiaotian's pride as a genius suffered a crushing blow. Until now, he had always been the most outstanding and gifted young soul master in his world.

He had always crushed others. No one had ever crushed him!

"Damn it!"

"Second Spirit Ability, Dual Wolf Possession!"

"Awoo!"

Feng Xiaotian went all out, increasing his attack, defense, and agility by fifty percent.

This was no longer about whether he could stop Lin Yu. He simply could not accept that he might lose to a child who looked less than eight years old.

"Hah!"

Feng Xiaotian shot into the air again and punched toward Lin Yu above him.

"I already said it. You can't stop me."

Lin Yu no longer chose to block. Instead, he threw a punch head-on at Feng Xiaotian's incoming fist.

Bang! Boom!

Their fists collided.

They entered a direct contest of strength.

Yet Feng Xiaotian only felt as though the bones in his fist were about to shatter. Before he could even register the agonizing pain—

His body was sent crashing down like a rocket, unable to withstand even a single blow from Lin Yu, who smashed him into the ground with one punch.

Bang!

Seeing this, Lin Yu paid him no further attention and prepared to head for the Swift Wind Demon Wolf.

But Feng Xiaotian rose to his feet again.

"Stop right there!!"

"You still won't give up?" Lin Yu frowned, growing a little impatient. He directly unleashed his Martial Soul in full.

At that moment, the terrifying configuration of three soul rings beneath his feet—yellow, purple, black—appeared one after another before everyone's eyes.

Feng Xiaotian, still unwilling to accept it and charging forward again, froze completely when he saw the soul rings beneath Lin Yu's feet.

Feng Xiaotian was utterly stunned. "W-what is this?! Yellow, purple, black!!?"

"Get lost. If you dare stop me again, I won't show you any mercy."

Lin Yu looked down coldly at Feng Xiaotian. An incomparably terrifying aura radiated from his body, like a colossal creature looming over Feng Xiaotian.

It was as if Feng Xiaotian were merely an ant that could be crushed to death in an instant.
