"My elemental resistance is very high. Did you forget that time I stood there and let you hit me, and you still couldn't hurt me?"

Qin Qi smiled and patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder. "Old Yu, you lost the bet again. Remember to pay up later."

After saying that, Qin Qi turned around to collect money from the others. He gave Dugu Yan her share of the winnings, and kept the rest for himself.

"Ah, right. This guy's tough as hell."

Yu Tianheng sighed. He remembered that Qin Qi had extremely high resistance to lightning attacks.

Lightning's paralysis had no effect on him at all.

"Yu Tianxin's Self-Created Soul Skill was indeed powerful, but unfortunately, its most crucial link was countered."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly."

Yu Tianheng replayed the battle between Qin Qi and Yu Tianxin in his mind. He could not help shaking his head and sighing.

When Yu Tianxin used his Self-Created Soul Skill, the arena had already been filled with tiny bolts of lightning.

Under normal circumstances, the opposing Soul Master would be paralyzed by that lightning, their movements becoming stiff.

They would be unable to react in time and could only take a beating passively. But Qin Qi's elemental resistance was maxed out.

The most important part—the lightning paralysis control—had been directly broken, which meant Yu Tianxin's follow-up combo could not connect.

"A Self-Created Soul Skill..."

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists. Fighting spirit began to burn in his heart. He did not want to lose to Yu Tianxin. He wanted a Self-Created Soul Skill too!

Heaven Dou Royal Academy's round of battles had ended. On the other side, the battles between the other academies had also concluded.

After everyone rested for a while, the third match began. This round, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's opponent was Godwind Academy.

"Qin Qi, you shameless, despicable bastard! Get up here!"

"Last time, you relied on numbers to gang up on me. Now it's a one-on-one duel. I'll definitely show you what I'm capable of!"

Feng Xiaotian was the first to step onto the arena. During the previous battles, he had been conserving his strength for this very moment!

He looked at Qin Qi, his eyes blazing with fury and fighting spirit!

"You weren't a match for me when we ganged up on you, so you think you can handle me one-on-one?"

"Honestly, you can't."

Qin Qi smiled as he stepped onto the arena, then mocked him.

"Are both sides ready?"

The referee looked at them and asked.

"Ready."

"Ready."

Qin Qi and Feng Xiaotian answered at the same time.

"Then begin!"

The referee announced.

The instant the referee spoke, Qin Qi moved. He charged straight at Feng Xiaotian, intending to take him out in one go!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"You think I didn't guess what you were planning?"

"You think I'm as stupid as those guys from Elephant Armored Academy?"

"I won't be provoked by your taunts at all!"

Feng Xiaotian leaped backward at top speed. At the same time, two pairs of wings appeared behind him, and he hovered in the air as he laughed wildly.

"This is my third soul skill, Gale Wings."

"With this soul skill's support, I can fly freely through the sky, and you won't be able to touch me."

Feng Xiaotian looked down at Qin Qi from the sky. In that instant, he felt unbelievably good.

All his hard work and suffering had not been for nothing. Competing like mad was awesome!

"..."

"Fire Path killer move: Morning Peacock!"

Qin Qi looked at the smug Feng Xiaotian in the sky. Without another word, he opened with a killer move.

In an instant, hundreds of fireballs blanketed the sky. At that moment, he looked like an incomparably dazzling peacock!

"First soul skill: Wind Blade Formation!"

Feng Xiaotian activated Martial Soul Possession. His hands transformed into sharp wolf claws, and he repeatedly swung them, firing out countless wind blades.

However, he did not choose to clash head-on with Qin Qi over a wide area. Instead, he concentrated his attacks on a single point.

He created a gap within Morning Peacock's massive area bombardment, then flew through it.

"Die!"

Qin Qi had already moved beneath Feng Xiaotian. He gathered strength in his legs and sprang upward like a compressed spring.

"You think I didn't see that coming too?!"

"I was prepared for you long ago! Let me show you the flying ability I trained in Hurricane Gorge!"

"Rapid Ascent!"

Watching Qin Qi rush toward him, Feng Xiaotian came to an abrupt stop at a ninety-degree angle, then shot rapidly upward!

This was the flying ability he had trained in Hurricane Gorge, a place full of hurricanes and all kinds of treacherous terrain!

To develop this ability, he had been tossed around by the hurricanes in the gorge like a spinning top every day!

"Air Path killer move: Day Tiger!"

Qin Qi had already gathered power in both hands. As he leaped up, he struck out directly, and a massive Day Tiger roared forth.

"Second soul skill: Twin Wolf Possession!"

Feng Xiaotian transformed a second time. His agility, attack, and defense all increased by fifty percent!

"Self-Created Soul Skill: Gale Demon Wolf Slash!"

The wings behind Feng Xiaotian condensed around his arms and became two sharp blades. He swung them with all his strength and collided head-on with Day Tiger!

Day Tiger's enormous impact blasted him backward, but since he was in the air, much of the force was dispersed.

In the end, Feng Xiaotian only looked somewhat disheveled and had not suffered any real injury.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"You've got no moves left now, right? You're out of Soul Power now, right?"

"You can't do anything to me now, right?"

Feng Xiaotian looked at Qin Qi, who had landed on the ground and was staring up at him. In that moment, he almost wanted to cry.

Over the past few months, in Hurricane Gorge, he had been beaten by hurricanes, beaten by the dean, and beaten by his classmates!

For the sake of training, he had gritted his teeth and persevered without stopping. No matter the wind and rain, no matter how much his body ached, he had never given up!

To defeat Qin Qi, he, the dean, and the teachers had stayed awake day and night studying every one of Qin Qi's battle records.

After analyzing for three days and three nights, they had identified Qin Qi's strength: terrifying close-range burst power!

As long as Qin Qi got close, he would use his horrifying brute force and endurance to blow his opponent away in one burst.

But they had also found Qin Qi's weakness: his attack methods were too limited. As long as they found a way to maintain distance, they could win!

"I really am out of Soul Power."

"But you can't beat me just by flying in the sky either. Why don't you try attacking me with your speed?"

Qin Qi looked at Feng Xiaotian in the sky. He had to admit that this kid really was a genius.

If he did not use his second Martial Soul, Rampaging Savage Phantom, he truly had no good way to deal with Feng Xiaotian.

Being able to fly was just too unfair.

Alas, Strength Path was in decline. If he had used another path, he would have hammered Feng Xiaotian to death already.

"Heh heh heh, you shameless bastard, do you think I'll fall for that?"

"You think I'll be fooled by your taunting?"

"I know what you're thinking. You want me to get close so you can smash me to death with one punch, right?"

"But I'm not coming down. I'll just harass you from range. Yep, I'm going to disgust you."

"I came down, I went back up, I came down again, I went back up again. Hit me, idiot!"

Feng Xiaotian kept bobbing up and down in the distance. Qin Qi could do nothing to him, and he could not really do much to Qin Qi either.

But that was fine. Feng Xiaotian did not care about winning or losing. He just wanted to disgust Qin Qi. He wanted revenge!
