Electric Charging Belt

"Yan Shaozhe!"

Hearing Qian Duoduo's cold, hard voice, Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath and turned his head, already bracing himself for a verbal lashing.

Instead, he was met only with Qian Duoduo's cold, disdainful gaze and a middle finger raised on his right hand. That contempt ignited a wicked fire in Yan Shaozhe, who had been proud his entire life, surging from his tailbone straight to his crown.

His face darkened as he stiffened his neck and retorted:

"It is what it is! This is a Soul Fighting competition. Soul tools are one thing, but something as rule-breaking as a Fixed Soul Tool should never appear on the arena floor!"

Qian Duoduo said nothing more and turned to leave. Yan Shaozhe felt as though he had punched a pile of cotton; he would have preferred it if Qian Duoduo had just started a shouting match with him.

Yan Shaozhe's face twitched. He waved his hand and flashed away, leaving behind only one sentence:

"The match continues!"

Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists tightly. She felt deeply humiliated, believing her teacher had stopped Feng Tianyu from using a Fixed Soul Tool because he thought she wasn't a match for it.

She stared daggers at Feng Tianyu with her long, narrow phoenix eyes. The crimson flames on her body surged higher, heat waves rolling off her until the very air distorted, making the entire arena feel as if it were inside a volcano:

"Feng Tianyu, if you think you can defeat me just by relying on a Fixed Soul Tool, then use it!"

"Only one's Martial Soul is the foundation of a Soul Master. I don't even look at those low-class soul tools!"

Feng Tianyu raised his hand to wipe his storage soul tool and pulled out something new:

"Even without a Fixed Soul Tool, I still have other soul tools at my disposal!"

"Grey Wolf, hold her off for me for a moment!"

Grey Wolf bared his fangs and extended his sharp claws:

"Then let her have a taste of this Great King's Wind Blade Array first!"

In the next instant, a gale erupted. A full twelve sharp wind blades condensed from the raging wind and tore through the air toward her!

Even from a distance, the sharp aura within those wind blades made Ma Xiaotao feel a jolt of alarm.

These wind blades were no simple matter!

However, Ma Xiaotao disdained to dodge. Her second soul ring shone, and Bathing Phoenix activated. Crimson flames erupted from within her, coating her skin like a layer of fiery armor—gorgeous and dangerous.

Relying on this fiery coat, Ma Xiaotao charged head-on into the wind blades. Chi, chi, chi, chi—the blades struck her, but before they could tear through her skin and bone, they were evaporated into nothingness by the scorching flames.

While Ma Xiaotao's wicked fire had its flaws, its heat, which approached the Ultimate Fire, was invincible in battle.

"Phoenix Fire Line!"

Under the enhancement of Bathing Phoenix, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire Line was no longer a mere line of fire, but a pillar of flame!

The pillar of fire shot straight toward Grey Wolf and Feng Tianyu!

Grey Wolf certainly couldn't dodge, as Feng Tianyu was right behind him, so he unleashed his second soul skill:

"Wolf Soul Possession!"

Amidst the cyan gale, a three-meter-tall phantom of a wolf soul condensed. The crimson fire pillar slammed into the phantom; although the temperature was high enough to distort the air, it could not melt or evaporate the wolf soul phantom, which rivaled an absolute defense.

Immediately after, the wolf soul phantom possessed Grey Wolf. With a 100% attack boost and a 100% speed boost, Grey Wolf was surrounded by raging winds. He tore through the flames with a single claw, transforming into a cyan blur as he charged toward Ma Xiaotao.

Grey Wolf laughed heartily:

"Tremble, human!"

"Let you taste this Great King's sharp claws!"

Ma Xiaotao knitted her brows, wicked energy rising in her eyes. She let out a sharp cry, manipulating the crimson flames into a tidal wave that swept outward, preventing Grey Wolf from getting even an inch closer.

Under the scorching heat of the crimson flames, the floor of the arena began to melt, a testament to the extreme temperature of the fire.

Grey Wolf tried to close the distance several times, only to be burned back each time, causing him to stomp his feet in anger.

While Grey Wolf was stalling Ma Xiaotao, what was Feng Tianyu doing?

He strapped on a metal belt. In the center of the belt was an embedded blue gemstone, with arc-shaped patterns connecting the gem to the metal.

Electric Charging Belt!

A Level 6 soul tool!

It could convert soul power into bio-electricity to stimulate the body, strengthening one's physique and significantly increasing strength, defense, and speed. A body strengthened this way could even rival the thick-skinned, sturdy soul beasts.

It was Grey Wolf's masterpiece!

Unfortunately, Feng Tianyu's soul power was low—only at rank 23—and he couldn't unleash the full effect of the Electric Charging Belt on his own.

So, he pulled out a backpack, strapped it on, and pulled a wire from it to plug into the Electric Charging Belt.

Inside the backpack were two storage batteries, also made by Grey Wolf, which were fully charged and could power the Electric Charging Belt for half an hour.

Though he felt a bit embarrassed, Feng Tianyu whispered:

"Electric Charging Belt, activate!"

Crackle, crackle!

Bursts of blue-purple arcs were converted by the Electric Charging Belt into bio-electricity capable of stimulating cells, releasing it into Feng Tianyu's body.

Although there was no danger, the violent power of the lightning still caused Feng Tianyu to feel waves of stinging pain. He gritted his teeth, refusing to let out a cry of agony.

Under the crackling arcs of electricity, his white hair, which had not been trimmed for a year and had grown quite long, stood on end just like a Super Saiyan!

His muscles bulged and writhed as if they had a life of their own, swelling piece by piece until his clothes and trousers were stretched taut against his body, revealing the distinct contours of the musculature beneath.

Power!

It surged forth in an endless stream!

Within Feng Tianyu's amber eyes, fine arcs of electricity flickered as he locked his gaze onto Ma Xiaotao amidst the flames.

Evil fire is truly troublesome, like a maggot on a tarsal bone...

From his storage Soul Tool, Feng Tianyu retrieved a pair of metal gauntlets and quickly strapped them onto his hands.

These were Power Amplification Gauntlets, also a sixth-level Soul Tool!

Once soul power is injected, it continuously rebounds within the internal soul guidance array, amplifying the force of every punch thrown.

As a sixth-level Soul Tool, the Power Amplification Gauntlets can amplify strength up to six times; while Feng Tianyu cannot unleash their full potential, the gauntlets serve to insulate him, preventing the evil fire from touching his skin.

The endless surge of power and the stinging sensation of his cells being stimulated flooded Feng Tianyu's mind.

He let out a roar, and his body finally moved!

Like a fierce tiger descending from the mountains, he tore through the air with the swiftness of a thunderbolt, creating a sonic boom as he lunged toward Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao was currently entangled with Grey Wolf; flames clashed against gale, and the wind scattered the fire, the tug-of-war between wind and fire creating a prairie-fire effect as clusters of flames, large and small, scattered like meteors.

Just then, Feng Tianyu struck. His punch, already possessing immense strength thanks to the Electric Charging Belt, was further bolstered by the twofold amplification of the Power Amplification Gauntlets.

The surrounding air compressed under that single blow. Ma Xiaotao's face turned deathly pale as she twisted to dodge, yet she was still grazed by the force of the strike.

With a crack, Ma Xiaotao was sent flying, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones. In the direction she was sent, several wisps of blood floating in the air were rapidly evaporated into nothingness by the scorching flames.

Silence!

The entire arena was deathly quiet!

This was a style of combat they had never seen before. That Grey Wolf, as an external Martial Soul, could fight independently was already shocking enough.

Then there was Feng Tianyu, who used a belt-type Soul Tool to reinforce his body to a level comparable to Martial Soul Possession, coordinating with Grey Wolf to send Ma Xiaotao flying with a single punch.

A Soul Grand Master had sent a Soul Ancestor flying!

In the past, no one could have ever imagined such a thing!

On the stage, Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf exchanged a glance, and with perfect tacit understanding, they rushed forward together, clearly determined to finish Ma Xiaotao off in one go.

"Skree!"

From within the surrounded Ma Xiaotao came the cry of a phoenix, and the crimson flames erupting from her body began to boil.

They transformed into a pair of crimson wings spanning over three meters, carrying Ma Xiaotao into the sky!

Third soul skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring!

Her face was deathly pale, her right hand clutching her left arm, which hung limply at her side. The bones from her arm to her shoulder were shattered; pain gnawed at her sanity, driving her to madness, reckless and desperate:

"I want you dead!"

"Fourth soul skill, Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike!"

Ma Xiaotao's fourth soul ring shone brightly as she began to charge her current strongest attack.

Feng Tianyu gave Grey Wolf a look, and Grey Wolf immediately understood:

"First soul skill, Wind Blade Array!"

Twelve wind blades tore through the air, sealing off all of Ma Xiaotao's escape routes.

Then, Feng Tianyu leaped into the air, two blasts of air erupting from beneath his feet, propelling him with the speed of a shadow.

The shoes he wore were also a pair of Soul Tool shoes, capable of enhancing jumping ability; if his soul power were vast enough, he could even achieve brief levitation with them.

Blocked by the wind blades and unable to finish charging her Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike, Ma Xiaotao had no choice but to respond hastily to Feng Tianyu as he closed the distance.

The two figures crossed paths in mid-air!

Ma Xiaotao plummeted like a bird with broken wings; she had been completely overwhelmed by Feng Tianyu in terms of raw power.

Of course, Feng Tianyu's body was inevitably tainted by the evil fire, but thanks to the body reinforced by the Electric Charging Belt, the evil fire could not erode his flesh, bones, or meridians in such a short time.

Ma Xiaotao and Feng Tianyu landed one after the other. Once grounded, Feng Tianyu coordinated with Grey Wolf to rain down a barrage of punches and kicks upon Ma Xiaotao.

Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf had their fill of fighting, continuing until Ma Xiaotao fainted, at which point the black-clad referee hurried over to stop them from further violence.

Thus, the victor was decided!
