Enemy-Trapping Technique: Wind Blade Cage!

Enemy-Trapping Technique: Wind Blade Cage!

Feng Lieyang stepped forward and spoke with Dean Lin.

The new team formed by the Three Elements Academy would be led primarily by Godwind Academy, so Dean Lin naturally supported Feng Xiaotian.

The six spots on the new team had already been decided. Feng Xiaotian planned to find a seventh member from Godwind Academy's team.

That person was Luo Hao.

Luo Hao was seventeen this year. His martial soul was the Gale Bird, and he was a level 36 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Venerable.

He was still young and had decent talent. He could provide Feng Xiaotian with a certain amount of support in battle.

Everything had also been arranged on Blazing Fire Academy's side.

Two days later.

At the agreed time, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang came to find Feng Xiaotian.

The moment they met, Huo Wushuang said excitedly,

"Brother Tian, after several days of tireless cultivation, my Soul Power has reached level 40!"

"Not bad. Having motivation really does make a difference!"

Huo Wushuang scratched his head.

"Brother Tian, before we head to Skywater Academy, I want to make a trip to the Soul Beast Forest first to obtain my Fourth Soul Ring."

"Of course! I've already made preparations on my end. We can leave whenever we want. The Star Dou Great Forest is right on the way. After helping you obtain your Soul Ring, we'll head straight to Skywater City."

"Alright. By the way, Brother Tian, what level is your Soul Power now?"

"Level 44. I'm about to break through to level 45."

Both Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were astonished.

"Brother Tian, leveling up is way too easy for you, isn't it?"

"Nonsense. You just haven't seen how hard I work."

During this period, aside from studying his Self-Created Soul Skill, Feng Xiaotian had not neglected his cultivation.

His Art of Wind Control had become even more proficient.

Furthermore, the Nine Yang Divine Skill had broken through to its fifth level, the Turtle Breath Great Method.

After breaking through this level, he could hold his breath and swim freely through the sea.

He was currently cultivating the sixth level, Wall-Crawling Gecko.

Once mastered, combined with the traits of his Agility Attack System, it would allow him to bring his speed advantage to its utmost limit and survive even desperate situations.

Learning that Feng Xiaotian had progressed so quickly, Huo Wu had some doubts, but she was too embarrassed to voice them.

She knew Feng Xiaotian possessed Innate Full Soul Power and extraordinary talent.

Yet it was only in the past two or three months that his strength had suddenly surged.

Huo Wu guessed that Feng Xiaotian's Self-Created Soul Skill had delayed his leveling. Another reason might have been because of her.

In the past, Feng Xiaotian had secretly loved her for five years. Perhaps he had deliberately suppressed his level and neglected cultivation in order to wait for her.

Now, Feng Xiaotian had changed.

He had become himself. He had returned to being that genius who was not troubled by love.

He would gradually widen the gap between himself and everyone else.

For a moment, Huo Wu's emotions were a tangled mess. She did not know whether she should be happy or sad.

She was happy about the progress Feng Xiaotian had made.

Yet because of it, she was drifting farther and farther away from him.

No! I can't admit defeat like this! I must work hard and catch up to him.

I want to become stronger than Shui Bing'er!

Huo Wu secretly swore to herself.

Seeing Huo Wu lost in thought, Feng Xiaotian suddenly asked,

"What are you spacing out for? What are you thinking about?"

"N-Nothing. When are we going to the Soul Beast Forest?"

"It's too late today. We'll set out early tomorrow morning."

"Mm."

After resting for a night at Feng Xiaotian's home, the group set out for the Soul Beast Forest early the next morning.

Feng Lieyang, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Luo Hao—the group of five quickly entered the Soul Beast Forest.

Today's objective was simple: hunt a thousand-year soul beast and obtain Huo Wushuang's Fourth Soul Ring.

Feng Xiaotian said to Feng Lieyang,

"Grandpa, let us handle the soul beast hunt ourselves this time. It'll be a good chance to train our coordination."

"Alright. As long as you aren't in danger, I won't intervene."

Feng Lieyang had great confidence in his grandson.

Feng Xiaotian had gone to Skywater Academy and, through his own strength, conquered the proud and arrogant Meng Wanqing.

Feng Lieyang had also noticed that ever since Feng Xiaotian comprehended his Self-Created Soul Skill, his strength had improved rapidly.

He was beginning to seem unlike the grandson Feng Lieyang knew.

Still, Feng Xiaotian possessed Innate Full Soul Power and extremely high comprehension. It all made sense.

As they walked, they suddenly heard a strange noise and immediately stopped.

Feng Xiaotian said warily,

"I'll go up and take a look."

After saying that, he spread his wings and flew into the air.

In this world where the strong preyed upon the weak, possessing Flight Ability offered a tremendous advantage.

Under normal circumstances, without a special martial soul, special soul skill, or other external assistance, one had to reach a certain level of Soul Power before they could fly freely.

Feng Xiaotian looked around and discovered a large mass of pitch-black creatures gathered not far ahead.

To see more clearly, he flew directly over.

It was a colony of Giant Fire Ants. There were over a hundred of them packed tightly together, each more than a meter long.

A fire ant nest like this usually had an Ant King, whose cultivation could range from a thousand to ten thousand years.

Feng Xiaotian did not see the Ant King, so he flew back.

"It's a nest of Giant Fire Ants. The Ant King might be among them."

Huo Wushuang chuckled.

"An Ant King with several thousand years of cultivation would be good too. They may be numerous, but taking it down won't be a problem."

Feng Xiaotian nodded in agreement.

Feng Lieyang reminded them,

"In recent years, Soul Masters have slaughtered indiscriminately, and there are fewer and fewer soul beasts in the forest. Use fire to drive them away and force the Ant King to reveal itself before hunting it. Don't burn the innocent."

"Mm, Grandpa Feng, we understand."

Huo Wushuang stepped forward and fired sparks toward the fire ant nest.

Those sparks were intimidating, but not enough to burn the Giant Fire Ants to death.

Sure enough, the giant ants scattered in all directions the instant they saw the fire.

Immediately afterward, the Ant King appeared.

It was a red giant ant, a full two meters tall and three meters long.

The last time Feng Xiaotian had hunted soul beasts in the forest, he had also seen a similar giant ant.

After getting a clear look at it, Huo Wushuang grew excited.

"That's the one!"

"Good! Let's end this quickly!"

After saying that, Feng Xiaotian charged over with the others and surrounded the Ant King, with the four of them each standing in a different direction.

The red Ant King was somewhat enraged. It opened its huge mouth and roared.

At the same time, its blade-like claws continuously scraped at the ground, eager to strike.

"Tyrant Dragon Strike!"

Huo Wushuang launched the first attack.

Unexpectedly, the Ant King reacted incredibly quickly, leaping and darting about to evade the fireball in time.

"Fire Rain Meteor!"

"Wind Blades!"

Huo Wu and Luo Hao seized the chance to attack as well.

Feng Xiaotian had yet to make a move. He was considering a question: how could he use the Wind Element to trap an opponent in battle?

Through meditation, he had comprehended the Storm Enemy-Trapping Technique and created the Wind Blade Cage.

After a fierce battle, the red Ant King saw that the situation was unfavorable and tried to flee.

"Wind, come!"

Feng Xiaotian raised a hand and summoned the wind. A violent gale immediately erupted.

"Wind Blade Cage!"

The rapidly spinning gale instantly formed a massive cage.

The edges of the cage were covered with wind blades flying back and forth, trapping the red Ant King within and leaving it nowhere to escape.
