Feng Xiaotian

In Mo Hui's view, Feng Xiaotian's so-called Gale Demon Wolf Nine Consecutive Slashes was, in essence, a technique for exerting force. It continuously built up power through rotation while moving Soul Power to the edges of his wings in the process, thereby increasing its might.

Mo Hui had seen something similar before: the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer used by Tang San. It also relied on bodily rotation and continual power accumulation, making each hammer strike stronger than the last.

Compared to that, Feng Xiaotian's Gale Demon Wolf Nine Consecutive Slashes could only be considered a rudimentary, inferior version.

Perhaps with constant improvement, Feng Xiaotian's Gale Demon Wolf Nine Consecutive Slashes might someday reach the level of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, but who knew how long that would take? He might as well go straight to Gengxin City, find a master blacksmith who knew the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, learn it, and then create his own version. That might even be faster.

Thinking this, Mo Hui could not help looking at Feng Xiaotian with a hint of regret.

It was not that self-created Soul Skills were bad. In fact, Mo Hui's Air Blade Multi-Merge and Cutting Wind Blade could both be considered self-created Soul Skills. The issue was knowing what took priority.

Feng Xiaotian's greatest problem right now was undoubtedly raising his Soul Power. Developing self-created Soul Skills could wait until after his golden age of cultivation had passed. Letting self-created Soul Skills affect the growth of his Soul Power Level was clearly putting the cart before the horse.

Feng Xiaotian was nineteen this year and already a level 39 power-attack Soul Elder. It was hard to imagine just how much time he had wasted for him to be only level 44 by the age of twenty-four.

After watching for a while longer and fully grasping the techniques behind the Gale Demon Wolf Nine Consecutive Slashes, Mo Hui left the Soul Duel Arena.

Mo Hui's destination was naturally Hurricane Canyon, a top-tier Mimicry Cultivation Ground. This time, Mo Hui planned to stay in Hurricane Canyon for several months without coming out, until his Soul Power reached level 24. To achieve that goal, he needed to prepare plenty of food.

What? You were asking about the Martial Soul knowledge classes?

Mo Hui had finished learning all the material and passed the exams as early as last month.

"Hmm? That is..."

However, just as Mo Hui turned to leave, Feng Xiaotian in the Soul Duel Arena seemed to sense something and suddenly looked in Mo Hui's direction.

Immediately afterward, Feng Xiaotian used his third Soul Skill and flew toward Mo Hui. Yet all he saw were two azure shadows.

The speed of Lightning Flash was no joke. Though its duration was short, during that time Mo Hui was even faster than pure agility-type Soul Masters of the same rank.

Although Feng Xiaotian was a level 39 Soul Elder, trying to catch Mo Hui with only his third Soul Skill after setting off later was impossible.

After searching for a while and confirming that he had lost sight of Mo Hui, Feng Xiaotian returned to the Soul Duel Arena in disappointment.

"Xiaotian, why did you suddenly fly off just now? Don't tell me you fell in love at first sight with another beauty?"

After Feng Xiaotian returned to the Soul Duel Arena, his friend Feng Yunfan teased him.

A year ago, Feng Xiaotian had fallen in love at first sight with Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy during the Four Elemental Academies Exchange Meeting. He had even done quite a few outrageous things in pursuit of Huo Wu, so his friends now teased him about it from time to time.

"Get lost, get lost. You're the one who fell in love at first sight. My love for Huo Wu won't change even in a hundred years."

Feng Xiaotian impatiently waved Feng Yunfan off.

After calming down for a moment, Feng Xiaotian asked Feng Yunfan, "Did you see who was standing over there just now?"

As he spoke, Feng Xiaotian pointed to where Mo Hui had been standing.

Feng Yunfan frowned. "There were way too many people watching you test your self-created Soul Skill earlier. How could I remember them all?"

After saying that, Feng Yunfan noticed Feng Xiaotian's somewhat grave expression and hurriedly asked, "Did something happen?"

"Just now, I sensed a unique aura. It resonated with my Martial Soul, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf!" Feng Xiaotian said solemnly.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Feng Yunfan was greatly shocked. He naturally knew what resonance between Martial Souls meant—it was a sign that they could possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"How strong was the resonance?"

Feng Yunfan urgently pressed for details. The stronger the Martial Soul Resonance, the greater the chance of successfully developing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If the resonance was insufficient, they might not be able to develop one even in a lifetime.

"Very strong. My Gale Twin-Headed Wolf told me that if it could fuse with the other party's Martial Soul, it would receive an enormous boost. I don't know exactly how great that boost would be without trying it, but it would definitely be huge," Feng Xiaotian replied.

"Phew..."

Feng Yunfan let out a long breath. After steadying himself, he said to Feng Xiaotian, "Then I'll help you find them!"

Martial Soul Fusion Skills were immensely important. If someone truly could resonate with Feng Xiaotian's Martial Soul, then they would gain another trump card for the next Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

However, what they had not expected was that their search would last for more than a month.

More than a month later, Feng Xiaotian stared blankly at the sky and said to Feng Yunfan beside him, "That day must have been an illusion, right?"

Feng Yunfan's brow was deeply furrowed as well. Over the past month, they had tested practically every student in the academy, not even sparing the teachers, yet there had not been the slightest sign of Martial Soul Resonance. Could it really have been Feng Xiaotian's illusion that day?

"Forget it. Let's go to Hurricane Canyon. We haven't gone there in over a month because of this."

With that, Feng Xiaotian pulled Feng Yunfan toward Hurricane Canyon, looking as though he had given up completely.

Sigh...

Feng Yunfan sighed inwardly but did not refuse Feng Xiaotian's invitation.

After all, their Soul Power growth had already slowed considerably over the past month because of this matter. If they did not return to Hurricane Canyon to cultivate soon, it would not be good if the others caught up to them.

Before long, Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yunfan arrived at Hurricane Canyon and headed down the path built by Godwind Academy.

In Hurricane Canyon, the deeper one went, the more pronounced the cultivation effects became—and the harder it was to endure.

Godwind Academy had therefore divided Hurricane Canyon into several areas: the edge zone, the outer zone, the inner zone, and the core zone. Feng Xiaotian had once spent a month in the inner zone, allowing his Soul Power Level to rise by an entire level.

But that had also been his limit. The core zone was a place only academy teachers could stay in. It was said that the hurricanes there were so violent that even Soul Ancestor-level teachers could not endure them for long. Only Soul King-level teachers could cultivate in the core zone for extended periods.

As Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yunfan ventured deeper, there were fewer and fewer students cultivating around them. Only when they reached a spot near the inner zone did they see another person.

"Hmm? This feeling..."

At that moment, sensing the intense fluctuations coming from his Martial Soul, Feng Xiaotian's eyes widened.
