"You're pretty admirable, Feng Xiaotian. You learned about the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team's miserable state, yet you still dared to challenge me!"
Lin Fan folded his arms across his chest and watched Feng Xiaotian with an amused look.
"What miserable state?!"
Feng Xiaotian's brows furrowed at Lin Fan's words, his face full of confusion.
Lin Fan was taken aback at first, then understood!
Earlier, he had barged into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team's residence alone. Not only had he taken Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling away, he had also injured their instructor, Qin Ming!
He had assumed word of the incident would spread quickly, but he hadn't expected Feng Xiaotian to know nothing about it!
Actually, it made sense. Yu Tianheng being cuckolded was certainly not something he would spread himself, and a teacher from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team being defeated by a teenager like Lin Fan was equally humiliating. Naturally, neither would be made public!
So Feng Xiaotian, still completely in the dark, chose to challenge Lin Fan without the slightest fear!
"You've always liked Huo Wu, haven't you? She may not think much of you, but you've been a devoted simp for her all these years. I'll give you credit for that!"
"So I'll do you a favor. I won't activate my Martial Soul in this fight. If you win, I'll give up competing with you for Huo Wu. How about it?!"
Lin Fan fixed his gaze on Feng Xiaotian and spoke slowly.
"Heh. I have to say, you're the most arrogant young Soul Master I've ever met!"
"But I'll take you up on that. I hope you keep your word!"
Feng Xiaotian laughed in fury. As his words fell, Soul Power surged through his body, and four Soul Rings—two yellow and two purple—appeared. Behind him, the members of Godwind Academy also released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings!
"Come on, then. Show me what you've got!"
Facing seven opponents poised to strike, Lin Fan wasn't the least bit afraid. He slowly spread his arms, and pale azure scales covered his entire body!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the sound of slicing wind rang out, all six Godwind Academy team members except Feng Xiaotian darted forward at once, launching a torrential assault on Lin Fan from different directions!
Blades of wind tore through the air with piercing whistles, relentlessly bombarding Lin Fan and sealing off every avenue of retreat!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The attacks landed on Lin Fan, but all they produced was a sound like metal clashing!
The six had kept up their ferocious assault for nearly a minute. When they finally scattered and stopped attacking, every one of them wore an expression of utter astonishment!
Not a single scratch could be seen on Lin Fan. Their attacks simply couldn't pierce the Azure Dragon Scales covering his body!
At most, they left a faint white mark, which quickly vanished as the scales returned to normal!
"Is this kid even human?!"
That was what every member of Godwind Academy was thinking!
"You all, get down!"
Feng Xiaotian spoke with a grave expression.
Chapter 64: Gale Demon Wolf 36-Hit Combo!
Feng Xiaotian now understood that the other team members couldn't break through Lin Fan's defense. If that was the case, they might as well fight one-on-one!
"I have to say, you've got guts, facing me alone!"
Lin Fan smiled as he watched Feng Xiaotian, his expression completely relaxed.
"Twin Wolf Possession!"
Feng Xiaotian answered with a low shout. The Gale Two-Headed Wolf Martial Soul behind him slowly merged with his body, and the Soul Power radiating from him surged by nearly fifty percent!
"Wind Blade Array!"
With a furious roar, Feng Xiaotian's First Soul Ring lit up. Sharp wolf claws sprang from his palms as he swept out dozens of crescent-shaped wind blades, sealing off every escape route Lin Fan had!
"Boring!"
Lin Fan shook his head, mildly unimpressed. He had no intention of dodging. He clenched his dragon claw into a fist and punched!
Boom!
The air exploded wherever Lin Fan's fist passed. A vacuum formed ahead of him as the bulging arc of air it created shot forward, crashing into the wind blades!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was no stalemate when they met. Under the force of Lin Fan's punch, the dozens of wind blades were swept away like dead leaves, breaking apart and sending gusts of wind scattering in every direction!
Feng Xiaotian's Soul Skill attacks couldn't impede Lin Fan in the slightest!
"Stop wasting time. Bring out your strongest attack!"
Lin Fan folded his arms and stared at Feng Xiaotian's dark expression. If that was all a so-called genius Soul Master could do, then the title was a disgrace.
"As you wish. Now I'll show you my Self-Created Soul Skill. If you can withstand it, then I, Feng Xiaotian, will accept my defeat wholeheartedly!"
"Gale Wings!"
With a roar, a pair of wings formed entirely from wind-attribute energy slowly unfurled behind Feng Xiaotian, then gradually fused with his arms!
"Gale Demon Wolf 36-Hit Combo!"
"First strike!"
Feng Xiaotian soared into the sky, then plunged down at incredible speed like a diving bird. His wings, sharp as blades, came crashing down toward Lin Fan's head!
Bang!
Lin Fan's expression didn't change. He reached out with a dragon claw and caught the oncoming energy wing, then flung it forcefully aside!
Feng Xiaotian's body shot backward through the air. He beat his wings to steady himself, but didn't pause for even an instant before slashing at Lin Fan again!
"Second strike!"
When the second attack arrived, Lin Fan punched the energy wing, blasting Feng Xiaotian away once more!
Just like before, Feng Xiaotian adjusted his position in midair, then charged at Lin Fan again!
"Third strike!"
Lin Fan could feel that each of Feng Xiaotian's attacks was several times stronger than the last. If the power kept building like that, it might genuinely threaten him!
"Hahaha! This Self-Created Soul Skill of yours is impressive. I can't wait to see how powerful it gets at the end!"
Lin Fan laughed heartily as he met every one of Feng Xiaotian's attacks.
With his strength, he could have seriously injured Feng Xiaotian right then and interrupted his momentum, but Lin Fan didn't do that!
He wanted to see where Feng Xiaotian's limits lay—and where his own did, too!
"Sixteenth strike!"
"Seventeenth strike!"
"Eighteenth strike!"
The collisions rang out one after another. Feng Xiaotian moved faster and faster, the interval between each attack shrinking with every strike!
By the end, three or four of Feng Xiaotian's figures seemed to appear in midair at once, showing just how fast he had become!
Lin Fan had started out defending with one hand. Now he met every one of Feng Xiaotian's attacks with both fists, holding his ground with ease!
Every collision unleashed a powerful burst of Soul Power, like thunder exploding in the sky. Terrifying waves of energy swept across the arena, sending ripples through the protective barrier!
"Th-this is incredible! Is this really a fight between members of the younger generation?!"
"Compared to those two, we're nothing but trash!"
"Feng Xiaotian's talent is impressive, and he even has a Self-Created Soul Skill of his own, but defeating Lin Fan won't be easy. He hasn't even activated his Martial Soul!"
"That may be true, but they had an agreement earlier. If Lin Fan activates his Martial Soul, he'll give up competing for Huo Wu. As long as Feng Xiaotian can force Lin Fan to that point, he'll count it as a win!"
Exclamations rose and fell from the spectator stands. Everyone stared fixedly at the Soul Fighting Arena, afraid to miss a single exciting moment!
"What a spectacular Soul Fighting match! Sect Master Ning, who do you think will win?"
On the main seat, Emperor Xue Ye wore an approving expression. He turned to Ning Fengzhi beside him and asked.
"Lin Fan is powerful, but Feng Xiaotian's Self-Created Soul Skill is a stroke of genius. Each attack is several times stronger than the one before!"
"If this continues, it's uncertain whether he can defeat Lin Fan, but Lin Fan certainly won't be able to win without activating his Martial Soul!"
Ning Fengzhi shared his thoughts.
"Mm. My thoughts are the same as yours, Sect Master Ning. I'm quite looking forward to seeing Lin Fan's Martial Soul and Soul Ring Configuration!"
After speaking, Emperor Xue Ye said no more and focused his attention on the Soul Fighting Arena again!
"Thirty-second strike!"
With a piercing shriek, the air split around Feng Xiaotian as he plunged downward. His energy wings slammed into Lin Fan's claws once more!
Bang!
A violent explosion rang out. Feng Xiaotian was flung backward, while the Soul Fighting Arena beneath Lin Fan's feet burst open with a jagged crack. Lin Fan's body, which had remained unmoving until then, was forced back a step!
"Hahaha! Not bad! Keep dancing!"
Lin Fan laughed heartily!
This fight with Feng Xiaotian had completely ignited the burning battle spirit in Lin Fan's heart. He hadn't enjoyed a fight this thoroughly in a long time!
"Thirty-third strike!"
Feng Xiaotian didn't respond. His body showed no pause in midair as he plunged at Lin Fan even faster than before!
Bang!
This collision was earth-shattering. It blasted Feng Xiaotian away and drove Lin Fan's feet several inches into the ground. Everyone in the spectator stands gaped in astonishment!
The Soul Fighting Arena was built from special materials. Even battles between Soul Emperor-level experts could hardly damage it. Who would have thought that a fight between two youngsters would leave it so badly wrecked?
"Reinforce the energy barrier!"
At the referee's command, four black-clad figures appeared at the four corners of the arena. Soul Power poured from their bodies into the energy barrier!
"Thirty-fourth strike!"
"Lin Fan, you absolutely can't withstand the next three strikes. Give up!"
As Feng Xiaotian plunged downward, his icy voice rang in Lin Fan's ear!
"Heh. Don't tell me you think you're the only one with a Self-Created Soul Skill. Today, I'll show you mine!"
Lin Fan smiled faintly and shifted into a strange stance. His arms began to sway at an incredibly odd angle, then he suddenly whipped them forward to meet Feng Xiaotian in midair!
Chapter 65: Lightning Five-Chain Whip!
"Lightning Five-Chain Whip, first strike!"
Boom!
Lin Fan's dragon claw slammed into Feng Xiaotian's energy wings. This time, Lin Fan didn't move back at all. He simply sent Feng Xiaotian flying!
"Th-this is impossible!"
Feng Xiaotian was stunned. His Gale Demon Wolf 36-Hit Combo had been building momentum this whole time, and the power of each strike was several times greater than the last!
Lin Fan should have been badly defeated by this attack, or at least injured. Feng Xiaotian never expected him to withstand it so easily!
"No! I can't lose! Thirty-fifth strike!"
Feng Xiaotian forcefully suppressed the fear and panic in his heart. Using the force of Lin Fan's counterattack to shoot into the sky, he plunged down at an even more terrifying speed!
"Second strike!"
Below, Lin Fan didn't stand idle. His body swayed in a strange motion as his dragon claw shot out again!
Bang!
Another earth-shattering explosion rang out. Lin Fan, at the center of the clash, still hadn't moved back at all, while Feng Xiaotian was sent flying higher than ever before!
"Thirty-sixth strike!"
