Where Did You Get the Courage to Challenge the Spirit Hall Team

All Five Great Elemental Academies had the strength to reach the Grand Finals, but they were ultimately just runners-up, with no chance at the overall championship.

Meng Wanqing gave a cold smile.

"Challenge the Spirit Hall Team?"

"I heard this year's Spirit Hall Team is packed with talent. Three of their members have already reached Soul King level and are known as the Golden Generation."

"It isn't a bad thing for young people to be proud and ambitious, but overestimating yourselves and insisting on smashing eggs against rocks is hardly a wise choice."

"Where did you get the courage to challenge them?"

Every word Meng Wanqing said made sense.

Everyone knew how powerful the Spirit Hall Team was.

In this Soul Master Tournament, they were determined to claim the championship.

Without changing expression, Feng Xiaotian displayed his soul rings.

"How would we know if we don't try?"

When Meng Wanqing saw that Feng Xiaotian's Fourth Soul Ring was a Ten Thousand Year Black Ring, a trace of surprise flickered across her face.

However, she quickly calmed down.

"No wonder you're so confident. Let me see what you're really capable of!"

As soon as Meng Wanqing finished speaking, she channeled Soul Power into her palm.

In an instant, a blue barrier enveloped Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him, nearly suffocating him.

Meng Wanqing continued releasing Soul Power.

Then, a wave of icy cold swept over him, and the blue barrier turned into solid ice.

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang stood to the side, shivering from the cold.

Both of them were worried about Feng Xiaotian inside the ice barrier.

How cold must that be?

Feng Xiaotian was shivering as well. He felt as though countless ice blades were slicing through his body.

However, he soon calmed down.

She wants to test my strength. She won't truly hurt me. Then I'll let her see what I can do.

Feng Xiaotian immediately activated the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

He had already mastered the Third Level of Nine Yang Divine Skill, Supreme Yang Heat Qi.

As long as he circulated it, he could dispel the cold within his body.

Combined with an output of Soul Power, he might even be able to break the ice barrier.

Feng Xiaotian's body stopped trembling and gradually returned to normal.

The ice barrier also began to melt bit by bit.

Amid her surprise, a hint of delight appeared on Meng Wanqing's face.

"Not bad. You actually found a way to melt my Thousand Year Ice Seal."

Meng Wanqing withdrew her hand.

Seeing this, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were both delighted.

Once again, they witnessed strength Feng Xiaotian had never revealed before.

"Brother Tian, are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

Feng Xiaotian looked at Meng Wanqing and said humbly,

"Thank you, Dean, for showing mercy."

"I'm rather curious. How did you do it? Logically speaking, with your current Soul Power, you shouldn't have been able to melt it."

Feng Xiaotian came up with an explanation.

"My Fourth Soul Ring came from a Ten Thousand Year Dark Wind Demon Snake. When I absorbed the soul ring, I experienced the power of extreme yin and cold, which allowed me to comprehend the Law of Yin-Yang Harmony. That was why I was fortunate enough to dispel the cold qi of your Thousand Year Ice Seal."

Meng Wanqing nodded, half believing and half doubting.

"So that's how it is. It seems you truly are exceptionally gifted and possess remarkable comprehension."

"You flatter me."

Meng Wanqing glanced at Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu beside her, then smiled.

"Feng Xiaotian is even stronger than I imagined. I wonder how strong you two are?"

Huo Wushuang gave an embarrassed smile.

"Neither of us can compare to Brother Tian."

"Don't be so modest. Since you are Dean Huo's son and the captain and vice-captain of the Blazing Fire Academy Team, you must have some skill. Let's give it a try."

After saying that, Meng Wanqing tested Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang using the same method.

Although both of them possessed the Fire Attribute, they were completely suppressed within the Thousand Year Ice Seal and had no ability to resist.

Feng Xiaotian had just experienced that bone-piercing pain himself.

Without the Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him, he would never have been able to break through it.

Seeing that the siblings could no longer endure it, Meng Wanqing withdrew her power in time.

"Not bad. Being able to hold on for so long at your age is already quite impressive."

Feng Xiaotian walked over.

"How are you two?"

"We're fine."

Huo Wu said admiringly,

"Dean Meng's Thousand Year Ice Seal is incredible. My Blazing Fire had no effect on it at all."

"This thousand-year ice is as hard as iron. Ordinary flames cannot harm it in the slightest. Moreover, it can confuse the mind and cause hallucinations. Every second drains your Soul Power."

"So that was it. No wonder it felt as if ice blades were tearing me apart just now."

Meng Wanqing gave a cold smile.

"You three have some skill, but I'm afraid you still aren't strong enough to challenge the three Soul Kings of the Spirit Hall Team."

Feng Xiaotian picked up the conversation.

"That is precisely why we came to your academy. I believe that if our wind, fire, and water Three Elements Academy join forces, we will have a chance to defeat the Spirit Hall Team."

Huo Wushuang quickly echoed him.

"Exactly! You haven't even seen Brother Tian's Self-Created Soul Skill that can fuse other elements."

Meng Wanqing looked somewhat puzzled, but also a little expectant.

"Is that so? Senior Feng mentioned it in his letter as well. Just how powerful is it? I would truly like to see it for myself."

Feng Xiaotian looked around.

He wanted to find an opportunity to demonstrate it before Meng Wanqing.

Meng Wanqing seemed to know what he was thinking.

"This isn't a convenient place. Follow me."

The three followed behind Meng Wanqing.

As they passed through the corridor, Meng Wanqing instructed an assistant,

"Call Shui Bing'er and the others to the Training Ground."

"Yes, Dean."

As they walked, Meng Wanqing said,

"Our Five Great Elemental Academies will inevitably meet in the Soul Master Tournament. We might as well exchange pointers in advance."

"Yes, that was exactly our intention."

Feng Xiaotian knew that, as events progressed, Skywater Academy would defeat Blazing Fire Academy in the Soul Master Tournament.

Water and fire were incompatible—two elements that completely countered each other.

The captain of the Skywater Academy Team, Shui Bing'er, was a Control System Battle Soul Sect.

The vice-captain, Xue Wu, was a Support System Battle Soul Sect.

There were also Shui Yue'er of the Agility Attack System, Qiu Ruoshui of the Assault System, and others, all of whom possessed considerable strength.

Moreover, they had a trump card.

With Shui Bing'er leading, she could join Xue Wu or Shui Yue'er to unleash the powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Snow Falling.

Thus, in the battle between water and fire, the Heavenly Water Girls' Team held the advantage through their seamless coordination.

Water could suppress fire, but it could not restrain intangible wind. Later, Skywater Academy would lose to Godwind Academy.

However, none of that had happened yet.

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu followed Meng Wanqing to the Training Ground.

Quite a few students had gathered there.

When they saw the dean arrive, everyone stepped aside and whispered among themselves.

"I wonder where those three young people behind the dean came from."

"Why did they suddenly come to the Training Ground?"

"Looks like there'll be a show to watch."

Meng Wanqing suddenly said to Feng Xiaotian,

"Xiaotian, you don't need to take part in the match. Just watch from the side."

"Why?"

"I just tested you. Based on what I know of Shui Bing'er and the others, in a one-on-one fight, none of them would be your match."

Just then, a group of long-legged beauties walked over.

They were the Heavenly Water Girls' Team, who would be participating in this year's Soul Master Tournament.
