"Second Soul Skill, Blood Soul Refining God!"
As soon as the words fell, six clusters of Bright Golden Flame bloomed around Feng Zaixing. Crimson bloodlight surged forth and intertwined before him. In that instant, Soul Power and Blood Qi merged in a strange fusion, forming a crimson-gold longbow.
The bow's limbs resembled a fierce tiger's curved spine, its string like taut sinew, and its dense protrusions like interlocking tiger fangs, displaying the majesty of the king of beasts.
The next instant, Feng Zaixing stepped into a bow stance and turned sideways. His left hand gripped the bow, while his right seized the string, drawing it back with one arm like a full moon.
Light and fire elements gathered from the surrounding air at an astonishing speed. In the span of a single breath, a golden fire arrow over a meter long condensed between his fingers.
"Instant Body Void Breaker, attach to the arrow! Fire!"
"Awoo—awoo..."
Accompanied by a mighty tiger's roar, the arrow tore through the air. On the distant battlefield, the Evil Soul Master's movements froze, and the Shadow Evil Soul Elder hovering in midair exposed a massive opening.
That instant of weakness was already enough for Feng Zaixing's arrow to strike true.
The surviving passengers watched in excitement as the Flowing Fire Light Arrow pierced through the materialized shadow at a terrifying speed akin to teleportation, nailing it to a huge boulder with the force to pierce clouds and shatter stone!
"How could it be so fast?"
The intense pain made the Shadow Evil Soul Elder unable to believe his fate. He turned his head blankly, trying to see who had killed him.
But when his eyes caught half of the young man's profile as he turned and drew another arrow, he no longer had the strength to move.
"It's such a pity I couldn't let a genius like you have your fill..."
Flames soared into the sky. The arrow exploded, and the Shadow Evil Soul Elder was reduced to ashes.
"With the cultivation of a Soul Grandmaster, he's comprehended the dual Element Hearts of light and fire, and killed a Soul Elder with one arrow. This generation actually has such a genius!"
Shen Yi appeared beside A Ruheng, her face filled with disbelief.
An Element Heart was the true essence of an element. Any elemental Soul Master who wished to become strong had to comprehend their own Element Heart.
Once they grasped an Element Heart, elemental Soul Masters could truly merge with their martial souls. Their source of power would no longer be limited to their own Soul Power; they could also draw elemental strength from the surrounding environment, greatly enhancing both offense and defense.
Yet even with Shen Yi's experience, she had never seen—or even heard of—a genius who had mastered the Element Hearts of both light and fire at Feng Zaixing's age!
If Yu Minglong and Ning Yue were prospective Inner Court disciples, then Feng Zaixing was a top-tier genius who could enter the Shrek Inner Court directly on the strength of this battle alone—a true Divine Archer!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
On his second move, he fired two arrows at once. Two Firefly Flying Shadows pierced the Evil Soul Master Soul Elder entangled with Yu Minglong, and a blood-red flower bloomed in the sky as a life swiftly withered away.
The Light Fire blazed fiercely. The Evil Soul Master writhed on the ground in agony, crying for his father and mother for the first time in his life. His Soul Power was forcefully dissolved, along with his body.
"Who the hell is sticking their nose into this?"
With his kill stolen, Yu Minglong roared in fury. He had spent no small amount of effort gaining the upper hand, and in another minute, he would have been able to end the battle.
He abruptly turned around and saw a young, handsome profile. It was Feng Zaixing, the very person he had argued with earlier.
"How could it be him?" A chill shot from the soles of Yu Minglong's feet to the top of his head, and cold sweat soaked his back.
Feng Zaixing's face was youthful, but his eyes were like a jade cold pool, filled with murderous intent. Their chill seemed to freeze one to the bone.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The twin arrows shot toward the Bone Dragon King. Feng Zaixing turned one cold, stern eye toward him. "Sorry, I'm a little quicker to act."
With that, he did not spare Yu Minglong another glance. He turned back toward the undying Bone Dragon King Evil Soul Ancestor and condensed another arrow.
"You!" Yu Minglong's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, his breathing heavy as a bull's. This was far too insulting!
"Minglong, calm down. This person is an unprecedented agile attack-type genius who appears once in a century on the continent. The power of his Divine Arrows is limitless."
Shen Yi walked over and pressed Yu Minglong down. Her face was full of astonishment, and her voice burned with excitement.
"His flames are Extreme Fire, and his light attribute is incredibly powerful as well. He has mastered two Element Hearts, and his arrows carry the acceleration effect of his First Soul Skill. His explosive power is terrifying, and he is exceptionally effective against Evil Soul Masters."
"The last time a Divine Archer like this appeared on Douluo Continent was several centuries ago. No wonder he dared to claim that the Young Genius Ranking was nothing special."
"Moreover, he can control so many elements, so his Spiritual Power must be extraordinary. We absolutely cannot let him go to Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy!"
Shen Yi clenched her skirt tightly with both hands, her tone resolute.
In a daze, she saw the shadow of that Iceberg Senior in Feng Zaixing. He had once been an unparalleled genius with the potential to contend for the position of the next Sea God Pavilion Master.
Yu Minglong looked up in bewilderment, several question marks seemingly appearing over his face. "...???"
Teacher, why are you speaking up for them? Didn't you see my kill get stolen?
And from the sound of it, does our mighty Shrek, the Continent's Number One academy, not even have an agile attack-type genius comparable to him?
Didn't he just take advantage of others being distracted to fire sneak attacks?
Other than Extreme Fire, two Element Hearts, and exceptional Spiritual Power, what else is there worth praising?
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
As the Shrek teachers and students spoke, Feng Zaixing fired five arrows in rapid succession. The Two Rings beneath his feet lit up together, and the arrows sped like the wind, trailing scorching flames.
A Few Seconds Later, a thunderous boom rang out. The Bone Dragon King Soul Ancestor, known for its formidable defense and elusive, troublesome nature, crashed to the ground with a series of weak whimpers.
One soaring light arrow pierced each side of its chest, its neck, face, and crown. Blazing white flames burned away a lifetime of sin, and the battle came to an end.
The onlooking crowd erupted in cheers, tears filling their eyes. Their faces were flushed red with overwhelming excitement.
"The Divine Arrow is invincible! The Divine Arrow is invincible!"...
They could not help being thrilled. Today's experience had been far too intense. First, they had encountered a sudden attack by the utterly vile Evil Soul Masters. Just as their lives hung by a thread, the Titled Douluo aboard the train had acted and saved them from danger.
Now, they had witnessed several young geniuses join forces to kill Evil Soul Masters. How many people would never see such a real and dazzling battle in their entire lives?
Seeing this, Xu Miao smiled helplessly. He cupped his hands from afar toward the greatest contributor to the battle and called out loudly, "Zaixing, your Divine Arrows are truly unstoppable. They're even faster than before."
"You're too modest. Your shield is very sturdy too."
Feng Zaixing recalled his Soul Bow and smiled calmly. The light fire elements around him returned to heaven and earth.
"Haha, well done. Your long years of hard cultivation weren't wasted."
Mu Ye led Na'er over, his eyes and brows filled with approval.
He knew that Feng Zaixing had held back more than one trick when he acted.
Even so, it had been enough to make an Evil Soul Master Soul Ancestor die in hatred!
"Big Brother is the best!"
Na'er leaped forward and hugged Feng Zaixing. Two adorable dimples appeared on her cheeks beneath her short silver hair as she smiled brightly.
"Haha, it's good that you and Na'er are all right."
Feng Zaixing picked Na'er up and spun her twice in the air before gently setting her down. His warm, breezy demeanor was utterly different from the Cold-faced Arrow God from before.
"Sigh, the boss really is the boss. We're both Two Rings, but my skills are far too lacking in comparison."
Long Chen walked over with a dejected sigh. A Ruheng had already treated his injuries, but they still hurt badly enough to make him bare his teeth.
"I told you long ago to focus more on uncovering your martial soul's own potential. You haven't grasped the true essence of light in the Bright Holy Dragon. Who else can you blame?"
Feng Zaixing smiled as he healed Long Chen's wounds with Bright Soul Power. "If you comprehended the Light Heart, then no matter how fast that guy was, it would be useless. Light is the fastest."
"The boss is right. From now on, I won't obsess over dragon claws and body techniques anymore. If I can't hit anyone, they're all useless."
Long Chen shook his head ruefully. Today's battle had taught him a harsh lesson. At times, agile attack-type experts could counter power attack-type Soul Masters like him.
"You need to focus on both. Neither can be neglected." Feng Zaixing looked very serious.
"Hey, not everyone is as talented as you, Boss. It'll be good enough if I can serve as your meat shield in the future. The two of us together will be invincible among our peers," Long Chen said sincerely.
"You brat..." Feng Zaixing was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
At This Moment, the train conductor hurried over and gave them a deep bow, speaking with heartfelt sincerity.
"Your Excellency, and all you young geniuses, I am the conductor of this Soul Tool Train, Mo Lan. On behalf of the Federation and every passenger aboard, I thank you for stepping forward so righteously at this critical moment. Thank you, thank you so much..."
Mo Lan bent at a standard ninety-degree angle. Mu Ye calmly accepted her thanks, shook her hand, and smiled. "Protecting the people and eliminating Evil Soul Masters has always been the Primal Body Sect's guiding principle. I hope the Federation will take this as a warning and increase its investment in security in the future. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mu Ye, the current sect master of the Primal Body Sect."
"Certainly, certainly. When we return, we will make sure the relevant departments take this seriously."
Mo Lan's face was earnest, though her voice carried surprise. "So Your Excellency is the sect master of the ancient Primal Body Sect. With righteous people like you in the Federation, the people's lives and safety are assured."
Mu Ye smiled in response, inwardly delighted.
Doing good deeds without leaving a name was not his style. Once news of this incident spread, the Primal Body Sect would surely become somewhat famous throughout the continent.
After all, Evil Soul Master attacks on trains were not especially common.
At this point, Shen Yi also approached with Yu Minglong and Ning Yue. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mo Lan, she turned an undisguisedly eager gaze toward Feng Zaixing.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Shen Yi, the homeroom teacher for the first-year Outer Court class at Shrek Academy. Little friend, with talent as outstanding as yours, would you be willing to join Shrek Academy?"
Mu Ye's expression darkened, but Shen Yi seemed not to notice and emphasized, "I don't mean entering the Outer Court to study. I mean going directly to take the Inner Court assessment. I believe you will have a chance to pass and become an outstanding student of the Shrek Inner Court..."
"I'm not interested." Feng Zaixing rejected her directly and said seriously, "Teacher from Shrek, you should have heard clearly when your students and I had our disagreement. I'm going to Ming Capital, not Shrek City."
