Originally, Salas had believed that with Spirit Hall's Golden Generation this time, the championship of the tournament was already theirs for the taking.
After all, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan of the Golden Generation were all Soul Kings, while the rest of their competing members were above level forty-five. Xie Yue and Hu Liena, the siblings, even possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
With such a lineup against teams whose captains were only in their forties, calling it a crushing advantage would not be an exaggeration.
Therefore, even when Shui Wuchen and Feng Xiaotian suddenly rose to prominence and revealed the strength of powerful Soul Kings, he had not panicked in the slightest. He knew that no matter how strong the two were, they would not be a match for Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
But now, Salas panicked, because Feng Xiaotian was not the powerful Soul King he had expected, but a Soul Emperor!
A Soul Emperor! That was an entire rank above a Soul King. If Feng Xiaotian wished it, instantly defeating any member of the Golden Generation was entirely possible.
While Salas was still stunned, Sword Douluo beside him suddenly smiled. "Truly, the waves behind drive on those before them. In that case, if Shui Wuchen has not concealed his strength, victory in this match will belong to Feng Xiaotian."
Sword Douluo watched Feng Xiaotian, his eyes filled with admiration. Such a young Soul Emperor had already surpassed him in his youth. He was even somewhat curious just how far Feng Xiaotian would grow in the future.
Godwind Academy's area.
After Feng Xiaotian revealed his Soul Emperor cultivation, the students of Godwind Academy cried out in shock.
"A Soul Emperor? The captain is actually a Soul Emperor!"
"When did the captain break through to Soul Emperor? Why didn't even I know?"
Listening to their shocked voices, Feng Qingcang wore a proud smile. As the one who had helped Feng Xiaotian obtain his sixth Soul Ring, he naturally knew Feng Xiaotian's exact circumstances.
The reason they had revealed it at this moment was to make a name for themselves in one stroke!
Even Feng Qingcang could not help but marvel at how timely Feng Xiaotian's breakthrough had been.
Though Soul King and Soul Emperor differed by only one word, their combat strength was worlds apart, and what they represented was entirely different.
Since the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament began, Soul Ancestor students had appeared in nearly every edition, and Soul Kings had occasionally emerged as well. Yet up to now, Feng Xiaotian was the only Soul Emperor!
After today, the title of the youngest Soul Emperor in history would change hands.
Feng Qingcang then turned his gaze toward Shui Wuchen, the peerless genius Feng Xiaotian had spoken of for six years.
Even Feng Qingcang had to admit that Shui Wuchen was indeed the greatest genius he had ever seen.
A Soul King before even reaching seventeen, and judging from his previous performances, his Soul Power Level had clearly surpassed level fifty-five. He might even have reached the peak of Soul King.
Within his lifetime, Shui Wuchen surpassing Feng Xiaotian's record once again was already inevitable.
But no matter what, Shui Wuchen was still only a Soul King. Faced with the gap in their levels, what would he do?
On the stage, after seeing the six Soul Rings around Feng Xiaotian, Shui Wuchen's expression did not change much. Only a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian's expression shifted slightly as he asked curiously, "You do not seem surprised?"
"Why should I be?"
Shui Wuchen asked in return, then said calmly, "I had already vaguely suspected it from the first time you stepped onto the stage more than ten days ago."
"If that is so, then you may let Articuno join in. Let me see whether you and your bird together can defeat me, a Soul Emperor."
Feng Xiaotian glanced at Articuno in the sky as his aura rapidly surged. In an instant, a thin layer of green energy flared around him, radiating terrifying pressure.
"You seem to have misunderstood something."
At that, Shui Wuchen smiled faintly, and his Soul Rings began appearing around him one after another.
"To deal with you, there is no need for Articuno to act, and...
How am I not also a Soul Emperor?"
As his words fell, Shui Wuchen's sixth pitch-black Soul Ring slowly emerged.
At the same time, the entire venue fell silent once more!
A Soul Emperor!
Another Soul Emperor!
Under the rules of the Soul Master Tournament, the appearance of even one Soul Emperor was a once-in-an-age marvel, yet they had witnessed two Soul Emperors in such a short time.
"Ah, Brother is already a Soul Emperor?"
Only then did Shui Bing'er blink, somewhat belatedly realizing it.
But it made sense. Her brother had broken through to Soul King years ago. Going by his previous rate of improvement, it was about time he broke through.
It was merely because Shui Wuchen had never used his full strength during this period that she had subconsciously believed her brother was still only a Soul King.
Shui Bing'er then puffed out her cheeks and complained, "Brother really is too much. He did not even tell me he had broken through to Soul Emperor!"
If Shui Wuchen had been there, he would only have said calmly, "You never asked."
If Shui Bing'er was merely somewhat surprised inwardly, then Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Salas, and the others in the VIP seats were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out.
If Feng Xiaotian being a Soul Emperor had brought them shock, then the impact Shui Wuchen, a Soul Emperor, brought them was no less than a meteor striking the earth.
That was because Shui Wuchen was far too young. He was not even seventeen yet. A Soul Emperor so young was an unprecedented existence, even throughout the entire history of Douluo Continent.
After recovering his senses, Sword Douluo Chen Xin could not help but smile bitterly. "It seems I truly am old. This is the era of the young now."
Seeing two such monsters in a single day, even someone like Chen Xin could not help but sigh.
As for Ning Fengzhi, he exchanged a glance with Xue Ye, and the two made a certain decision.
On the stage, when Feng Xiaotian saw the sixth Soul Ring appear around Shui Wuchen, he too froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Hahaha~~~! Good! Good! Good! As expected of the opponent I acknowledged. You truly have not disappointed me!"
Faced with the Soul Emperor cultivation Shui Wuchen revealed, Feng Xiaotian felt neither jealousy nor fear. All he felt was joy at obtaining an evenly matched opponent.
Only a Shui Wuchen like this was worthy of him giving everything to pursue.
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiaotian erupted with full force. His second and third Soul Rings lit up as his body transformed into a green streak of light and shot toward Shui Wuchen.
Shui Wuchen did not evade. The Ice Wings behind him trembled, and his third Soul Ring, representing High-Speed Movement, shone brilliantly. He too transformed into an ice-blue streak of light and collided with Feng Xiaotian's green streak.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
The green and blue streaks of light collided continuously. Green and blue energies intertwined and surged, producing deafening blasts.
