Guiding Feng Xiaotian

"Finally got rid of those guys."

Danheng arrived at the academy's Simulated Training Environment and could not help letting out a sigh of relief.

He had merely passed by the area where Chihuo Academy was resting, only to run into Huo Wu.

She seemed very curious about him and had chased after him with endless questions. However, perhaps because she had been spoiled since childhood, the girl was rather rude, and they had gotten into a small conflict.

If Feng Xiaotian had not come, he would probably have been forced to strike back.

"Sir!"

Riding on Green Wind, Feng Xiaotian caught up in just a few strides.

"Sir! Shall we train here?"

Feng Xiaotian was already eager to display his Self-Created Soul Skill.

"Yes, here is fine. Just attack me directly. This environment should also help you perform better."

They were currently on a small hill. Fierce winds constantly swept across its peak, and the surrounding wind-elemental power was far stronger than elsewhere.

"Alright!"

Feng Xiaotian loosened up, then summoned his Martial Soul Possession. A faint green glow instantly enveloped his body.

The next moment, accompanied by a crackling of bones, Feng Xiaotian's body became much more muscular and considerably larger than usual.

A wolf's head slowly condensed over his left shoulder.

"Sir, please guide me!"

As soon as he spoke, Feng Xiaotian suddenly accelerated, leaving only a green afterimage behind as he charged straight at Danheng.

"Too obvious."

Danheng shifted slightly to the side, and Feng Xiaotian's attack grazed past him without touching even a corner of his clothes.

Feng Xiaotian did not respond. The instant he passed Danheng, he adjusted his posture, spun around, and extended his wolf claws from his palms, swinging them straight at Danheng's face.

"There's an opening."

Danheng retreated half a step. The sharp wolf claws swept past the tip of his nose, but even with wind elements clinging to them, they still failed to touch him.

After that, faced with Feng Xiaotian's unceasing, wave-like barrage of attacks, Danheng dodged every one of them with only the simplest movements.

"Your attack intentions are too obvious, and your movements are too direct. Still, you have an advantage in speed, your reactions are quick, and your Martial Soul's attack power is quite good."

Danheng remained as calm as ever, while Feng Xiaotian wore an utterly serious expression.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. Next, I will use my Self-Created Soul Skill, Whirlwind Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes!"

As he spoke, a pair of enormous green wings immediately appeared behind Feng Xiaotian. With those wings, he rapidly rose into the air, while two wolf heads slowly condensed behind him.

"Sir, please guide me!"

Feng Xiaotian descended from the sky. The green wings behind him beat fiercely as he cleaved straight down at Danheng.

Yet in the face of Feng Xiaotian's attack, Danheng actually chose to block it directly with his arm.

Feng Xiaotian was initially startled, but quickly regained his senses and continued his attack.

Since Mister Danheng dared to receive it with his bare hand, he must have absolute confidence that he would not be injured.

If Feng Xiaotian withdrew his attack because of that, there was no guarantee that he could condense it again any better than this time.

And that was indeed the case. Even when Feng Xiaotian's Whirlwind Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes reached its final strike, Danheng merely crossed his arms before him and received it with ease.

I should stop trading blows with this kid in the future. It's really tiring.

Danheng was not tired from fighting Feng Xiaotian. Rather, his physical strength was so great that if he did not use a little finesse to protect Feng Xiaotian, the other party would have been sent flying from the very first hit!

When he had fought Tang Hao before, it was because Tang Hao had come looking for trouble, so Danheng had chosen to meet him head-on.

But now, Feng Xiaotian was simply a child seeking instruction in his eyes. It would not be good if he hurt him.

"Huff... cough, cough... Sir, how was my Self-Created Soul Skill?"

Seeing Danheng's unscathed arms, Feng Xiaotian asked between heavy breaths.

He had also noticed that Danheng had been using skillful force to protect his body, and he was deeply moved.

Mister Danheng really... he could cry.

"It's quite good, but there's still room for improvement."

This was Danheng's first time seeing a so-called Self-Created Soul Skill, and he found it rather novel.

People here basically used whichever Soul Skills their Soul Rings gave them. Those capable of creating their own Soul Skills were exceedingly rare.

For some reason, Danheng suddenly thought of Tang San.

Though he did not know how Tang San had come to Douluo Continent, Danheng could tell at a glance that there was something off about Tang San's abilities.

A twelve-year-old child with such practiced Hidden Weapon techniques, and those eyes of his—they had likely been specially trained as well.

Had no one around him ever been suspicious? Or did those around him think those were simply his Self-Created Soul Skills?

"So, Mister Danheng, how should I improve?"

Feng Xiaotian's words pulled Danheng from his thoughts, and the two began training on the hill.

Danheng truly did not know enough about the use of Soul Power. But when it came to combat techniques, he could certainly teach those!

Feng Xiaotian's talent was not bad either. He quickly absorbed and digested Danheng's guidance, then put it into practice.

Under Danheng's instruction, the power of Feng Xiaotian's Whirlwind Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes might not have improved by much, but compared to before, its threat level had definitely risen by more than one tier!

Moreover, after Danheng's guidance, Feng Xiaotian felt that he could add even more slashes after the thirty-six consecutive strikes!

"Mister Danheng, thank you for your guidance these past few days. I am deeply grateful!"

A few days later, after unleashing the thirty-six consecutive slashes, Feng Xiaotian attempted to add extra strikes for the first time.

To his surprise, he added a full eighteen more slashes in one go! The power of the strikes was on an entirely different level!

"Your ability to absorb what you learn is strong. With someone else, it might not have worked in just a few days."

Feng Xiaotian himself was also a persistent person. Once he set his mind on something, he would stubbornly see it through.

Just like how he researched Self-Created Soul Skills and pursued Huo Wu.

"Hehe, it's not just my ability to absorb what I learn. The Moonshadow Direwolf corpse you gave the academy has already been put to use."

Feng Xiaotian scratched his head sheepishly and sidled up beside Danheng as he spoke in a low voice.

"My palms were actually strengthened using the Moonshadow Direwolf's claws. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to raise my Soul Skill's power to this extent so quickly."

Using parts from Soul Beasts to strengthen one's own body?

Danheng nodded. When he had first begun guiding Feng Xiaotian, the Shenfeng Dean had come to collect the Moonshadow Direwolf's corpse.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the Soul Power within Feng Xiaotian's body began spilling out somewhat uncontrollably.

"Are you about to break through to level forty?"

Feng Xiaotian was stunned. He had only trained with Danheng for a few days, and he was already about to break through to level forty?
