Instant Kill Yu Feng

A pair of medium-sized, brownish-yellow wings unfurled from Yu Feng's back. The feathers on them didn't look soft in the slightest, instead possessing a sturdy, solid quality.

Looking down at Xing Tian from his height, Yu Feng said quite smugly, "Yu Feng, Martial Soul Wind Bell Bird, Level 22 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master!"

Observing the look in Yu Feng's eyes, Xing Tian felt no sense of disgust.

Because the moment he imagined the change in Yu Feng's expression later, he couldn't help but feel happy; this was one of his hobbies from his past life.

A fierce, dark aura instantly spread, surging out for a hundred meters. The environment dimmed, and the surrounding spectators couldn't help but tremble, feeling an involuntary sense of dread in their hearts.

In the air, the force and frequency of Yu Feng's wingbeats slowed, and his altitude even began to drop; his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Immediately following, a black hole wreathed in dark purple mist appeared behind Xing Tian, and two pitch-black giant scythes reached out from within it.

No, they weren't giant scythes—they were the sickle-like forelegs of a mantis. What stepped out from the black hole was precisely Xing Tian's Martial Soul.

Aside from Ye Lingling, this was the first time anyone in the class, including the teacher, had seen Xing Tian's Martial Soul.

"Xing Tian, Martial Soul Dark Evil Spirit Mantis, Level 21 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, please advise!"

Although the teacher was only a Soul Ancestor, his knowledge was quite extensive.

"As expected of a top-tier Martial Soul, to have such momentum with only two rings."

"Furthermore, Yu Feng's Martial Soul is of the avian type, which has a restraining effect on insect-type Martial Souls. Even high-tier insect Martial Souls should be affected, yet Xing Tian is completely unaffected; instead, it is Yu Feng who is in poor condition."

"However, there is no Martial Soul Possession; it looks a bit like Martial Soul Mimicry. It seems the first Soul Ring he absorbed came from a mantis-type soul beast and is highly compatible with him, its power definitely exceeding a standard first soul skill."

He then shouted, "The mock battle begins!"

Xing Tian beckoned unhurriedly, signaling for Yu Feng to attack first.

Having competed with Osler for so many years, Yu Feng naturally had a strong desire to win. He quickly suppressed the fear in his heart, and his first Soul Ring lit up.

With a sharp, whistling wind, Yu Feng dove toward Xing Tian. He brought his arms and wings together, the edges of his wings having transformed into blades as sharp as knives—this was his first soul skill, Wing Blade.

Watching Yu Feng dive toward him, Xing Tian neither dodged nor retreated. He simply raised his left arm in a casual, defensive posture, while the Dark Evil Spirit Mantis Martial Soul behind him simultaneously raised its left foreleg.

Yu Feng's Wing Blade struck Xing Tian, instantly producing the sound of metal clashing and grinding, a noise so jarring that the surrounding students instinctively covered their ears.

The contact between the two did not last long; Yu Feng retreated quickly, his face changing drastically.

Although he hadn't used his full strength, he had used at least fifty percent. A Soul Master of the same level would almost certainly have to take it seriously, yet Xing Tian had received it with such nonchalance.

Even more terrifying was that his right arm was trembling, and his palm was even slightly swollen and red.

He realized immediately that he absolutely could not engage in close combat; he was no match for him.

Yu Feng adjusted his tactics immediately, increasing his flight altitude as his second Soul Ring lit up. He swung his arms, launching two cone-shaped air currents.

This was his second soul skill, Flying Blade Rock-Breaking Strike, which could be used in conjunction with his first soul skill to increase its power while in the Wing Blade state.

Facing Yu Feng's second wave of attacks, Xing Tian chose neither to defend nor to counterattack. Instead, he retracted his Martial Soul and utilized the Nine Deaths Footwork that accompanied the Nine Deaths Reincarnation Evil Art, shifting and maneuvering with ease.

Flying-type Soul Masters are indeed troublesome. At this height, combined with his speed, and in broad daylight, Night Fierce Light might not hit. With my current cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult to fly using the Martial Soul's wings, but it's better not to expose that for now.

"What kind of bizarre movement technique is this!" Yu Feng, in the air, grew increasingly anxious.

His attacks could not land on Xing Tian, and he was wasting soul power for nothing. He couldn't win in close combat, and maintaining flight also consumed soul power.

If this continued, he would undoubtedly lose.

Just as Yu Feng felt the strain and his body faltered, Xing Tian seized the opportunity, summoned his Martial Soul once more, and leaped into mid-air. His right palm transformed into a blade, pitch-black in its entirety.

Xing Tian swung his hand, and a crescent-shaped black light slashed out—this was his first soul skill, Night Fierce Light.

Yu Feng's pupils constricted; unable to dodge in time, the black light struck his wings directly.

Yu Feng screamed in pain. These wings were not energy constructs but the product of Martial Soul Possession, connected to his flesh, blood, and bones, which was why the pain was so unbearable.

This strike had already broken his wings, and the dark elements were continuously eroding them, feeling like ants gnawing at his flesh—a fate worse than death.

"I concede!" Yu Feng landed hurriedly, collapsing to the ground and retracting his Martial Soul to prevent further erosion from the dark elements.

The observing students gasped in amazement. Xing Tian had only used one serious move the entire time to instantly defeat Yu Feng. Not to mention the Tianzhu Level students, even the Tiandou Level students might not have been able to achieve this.

As the saying goes, the layman watches the spectacle, while the expert watches the technique. The teacher in charge saw things much more clearly.

When Yu Feng increased his altitude, he had already understood that Xing Tian's close-combat ability was even more ferocious; if Yu Feng hadn't done that, the battle would have ended even faster.

Then there was the Nine Deaths Footwork Xing Tian had just displayed—bizarre and unpredictable, making it impossible for an Agility Attack System Soul Master like Yu Feng to land a hit, ultimately forcing him to reveal a flaw.

As for the final first soul skill, it seemed Xing Tian hadn't used his full strength, but that dark erosion ability was truly terrifying. If Yu Feng hadn't deactivated his Martial Soul Possession in time, he likely would have suffered flesh-and-blood erosion.

In his view, Xing Tian's true combat power belonged at the Tiandou Level.

At this moment, Osler snuck over and helped Yu Feng up, saying, "Oh my! Yu Feng, where are your wings? How did you become a ground-walking chicken?"

Yu Feng glared at him with resentment, but Osler continued without any reaction, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm concerned about you, can't you tell? I didn't expect Little Tian to hit so hard either. You too, if you can't win, just concede—why didn't you say so earlier?"

Yu Feng had no desire to deal with Osler now; he shook off his arm and walked toward the edge of the arena.

Osler, however, didn't want to miss this chance to kick someone while they were down. He pretended to brush the dust off Yu Feng, "Oh my, you're so badly hurt, how can you walk on your own? Don't be polite, we're brothers, I'll help you. Hey! Look, you're covered in dust, let me brush it off for you."

"No need."

"Don't be polite with me, let me brush it off for you."

"Get lost, ah--" Osler patted Yu Feng's back with no regard for his strength, causing Yu Feng to let out a heroic, piercing howl.

The instructor in charge shouted loudly, "Osler! Where are you going? It's your turn!"

"Ah? Oh!" Osler looked at Yu Feng with some reluctance before taking heavy steps back toward the arena.

Ye Lingling activated her Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul to heal Yu Feng, which was a standard training exercise for support-type soul masters like her during practical combat classes.

After the one-on-one practical combat ended, the instructor organized a round of two-on-two practical training.

The purpose was threefold: first, to cultivate tacit understanding between students; second, to test support-type soul masters on their ability to provide assistance, their timing, and whether they would hold back the battle soul masters; and third, to evaluate whether battle soul masters possessed the ability and awareness to protect their support-type partners.

Xing Tian decisively teamed up with Ye Lingling and dominated the field; the others couldn't even get near Ye Lingling, and they couldn't even force him to use his second soul skill.
