Feng Xiaotian VS Zhao Zilong

At that moment, Yu Tianheng was in a foul mood. As the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was actually being ignored.

"Have you been drinking fake booze or something? Why do you think you can beat me? Judging by Soul Power alone, mine is obviously higher." Zhao Zilong mocked Feng Xiaotian, then looked at Huo Wu with a teasing smile. "Is it because of Huo Wu?"

"That's right. Who told you to make little sister Huo Wu angry? As long as I defeat you, little sister Huo Wu will become my girlfriend." Feng Xiaotian looked thoroughly pleased with himself.

Zhao Zilong rolled his eyes and looked at Huo Wu. "Huo Wu, I never realized you were this cruel. How did Feng Xiaotian offend you? You actually want him to defeat me and accomplish something utterly impossible."

Feng Xiaotian's eye twitched. "Impossible? Looks like you're very confident in your own strength."

Huo Wu was unhappy as well. Although she did not like Feng Xiaotian, she knew how strong he was. More importantly, Zhao Zilong's arrogant attitude annoyed her. "Zhao Zilong, I know you're a genius, but Feng Xiaotian has Innate Full Soul Power."

"Innate Full Soul Power?" Everyone from the Heaven Dou Royal Team was startled. Among their team, the highest Innate Soul Power was only rank eight.

"Then his Innate Full Soul Power is really pretty disappointing." Zhao Zilong looked at Feng Xiaotian teasingly. "Brother Xiaotian, I'm fourteen this year, with rank forty-six Soul Power. You must be a few years older than me, right? Yet you're only rank forty-four. You're really embarrassing the name of Innate Full Soul Power."

"You're only fourteen?" Feng Xiaotian was shocked. Not just him—even the people from Blazing Fire Academy behind them and Skywater Academy nearby were stunned. Although Zhao Zilong looked younger than them, his Soul Power was not low, so they had instinctively assumed that he was around their age.

Or rather, they had not dared to imagine that Zhao Zilong could be so young.

After all, those who could participate in the Spirit Master Competition were the genius Spirit Masters of their respective academies. Reaching the Soul Ancestor realm at their age was already exceptionally rare.

A favored daughter of heaven like Shui Bing'er had reached the Soul Ancestor realm at only fifteen, making her a genius among geniuses. Yet Zhao Zilong was even more monstrous—he was younger than them, but his Soul Power was higher.

Huo Wu found it hard to believe as well. "You're already rank forty-six? Your Soul Power increased again in just this month?"

Feng Xiaotian looked at Zhao Zilong with wariness in his eyes. He was already twenty-four, a full ten years older than Zhao Zilong, yet his Soul Power was lower. Although he had neglected cultivating his Soul Power in order to develop his Self-Created Soul Skill, Zhao Zilong was right. At his age, being only rank forty-four did somewhat disgrace Innate Full Soul Power. Once the Spirit Master Competition was over, he needed to speed up his Soul Power cultivation.

"Although I already knew I was somewhat older than Brother Zilong, I never expected you to be only fourteen. In terms of talent, you do have the edge over me. However, having higher Soul Power does not mean you can definitely defeat me." Feng Xiaotian crossed his arms, looking supremely confident. "Since Brother Zilong is so confident in his strength, how about we try it? In the upcoming match between Godwind Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the two of us will be the only ones to take the field. One battle will decide the victor. If I lose, the remaining members of Godwind Academy will forfeit directly. And if you lose, your side will do the same."

Shi Mo snorted. "There's no need for that at all. Your Godwind Academy only has three Soul Ancestors. No matter how you fight, you can't possibly beat us."

Feng Xiaotian ignored Shi Mo. He knew that if Godwind Academy faced the Heaven Dou Royal Team head-on, they would definitely lose in the end. The Heaven Dou Royal Team's overall strength was higher than theirs, which was why he had proposed this wager with Zhao Zilong. If he defeated Zhao Zilong, not only would little sister Huo Wu become his girlfriend, but he would also secure a direct victory. "Well, Brother Zilong? Do you dare?"

Everyone turned to look at Zhao Zilong. His lips curled up slightly as he smiled. "Sure. If you want to fight me, I'll fight you. We'll do as you said and explain the situation to the referee together later."

"Good. Then it's settled." With that, Feng Xiaotian turned and left.

Zhao Zilong turned back to Yu Tianheng and the others. "Sorry, I made the decision on my own. But after being provoked this far, I had no way to refuse."

Yu Tianheng smiled faintly. "It's fine. We believe that with your strength, Zilong, you'll definitely win."

The matches proceeded quickly. Since there were only fifteen teams, the matches between the earlier teams soon ended, and at last it was time for the Heaven Dou Royal Team to face the Divine Wind Team.

The Heaven Dou Royal Team was undoubtedly the center of attention, but the Divine Wind Team on the other side was as well. Both had taken first place in the preliminaries of their respective regions. Furthermore, Feng Xiaotian, captain of the Divine Wind Team, and Zhao Zilong of the Heaven Dou Royal Team had something in common: neither had ever used their third or fourth Soul Skill in battle. Against every opponent they had faced so far, both had appeared completely at ease. No one knew the true extent of their strength.

The host quickly announced, "Next up is Zhao Zilong of the Heaven Dou Royal Team versus Feng Xiaotian of the Divine Wind Team. These two teams both took first place in their respective regions, and this time, the Heaven Dou Royal Team and Divine Wind Team have each sent out only one member, with the other six all forfeiting. In other words, this is an advancement match decided in a single battle. Let us welcome the two contestants onto the stage."

Zhao Zilong and Feng Xiaotian quickly stepped onto the stage. Their information then appeared on the crystal screen: Zhao Zilong, martial soul Blue Silver Grass, rank forty-six Soul Power. Feng Xiaotian, martial soul Twin-Headed Gale Wolf, rank forty-four Soul Power.

Every team was closely watching this match. Tang San could not help furrowing his brow. He had not expected Zhao Zilong's Soul Power to rise again in only a month. During that month, Tang San had been cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer with Tang Hao, so his own rank had not increased.

Huo Wu watched Feng Xiaotian and Zhao Zilong, feeling somewhat conflicted. She murmured, "I wonder whether Feng Xiaotian can defeat Zhao Zilong. That guy is rather arrogant, but there's no denying his talent." She had originally thought Zhao Zilong was around her age. Instead, he was a full five years younger than her. Now that she had asked Feng Xiaotian to defeat Zhao Zilong, Huo Wu felt as if she were bullying a younger student.

Huo Wushuang stood beside her with his arms crossed, speaking calmly. "The match has already begun. Besides, Feng Xiaotian has the aerial advantage. I'd say it won't be so easy for Zhao Zilong to defeat him."
