The Higher They Fly, the Harder They Fall: Xiao Wu Slams Feng Xiaotian
Just then, the referee's voice rang out.
"Round 10 of the Qualifying Tournament! Blue Tyrant Academy Team vs. Godwind Academy Team! Players from both sides take the stage!"
The two teams took turns playing.
On the Blue Tyrant Team's side, Huang Yuan and Jing Ling remained in the player's seat to wait for their turn.
The seven people who appeared were arranged in three layers: Tai Long was at the front, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were on the two sides, Tang San and Lin Xuan were in the middle, and Ning Rongrong and Jiangzhu were in the back.
The opposing Divine Wind Team formed a cone formation, with Feng Xiaotian at the front and the other six huddled to the sides and rear, creating subtle air currents around them.
The referee raised his right hand, and a loud command resounded throughout the stadium:
"Both sides unleash their Martial Soul, the match begins!"
The moment the words fell, Feng Xiaotian let out a low growl, and a phantom of a two-headed wolf rapidly condensed behind him in azure light.
Two yellow and two purple Soul Ring, the best configuration, rose up, and a pair of huge cyan wings unfolded from behind his shoulder blades. The air currents churned, carrying him directly off the ground and into the air, ten meters above the ground.
At the same time, in the front row of the Blue Tyrant Team, Xiao Wu lightly touched the ground with her toes and took two graceful steps to stand at the very front of the team.
A pinkish-white light flowed, and four Soul Ring —two yellow and two purple—spun out from beneath her feet, with the fourth purple Thousand Year Soul Ring having an exceptionally deep luster.
Xiao Wu stood gracefully in the center of the arena with her hands behind her back, looking up and waving at Feng Xiaotian in mid-air:
"Why are you flying so high? Come down and get beaten up!"
A fierce wind howled in mid-air.
Feng Xiaotian lowered his head and stared at Xiao Wu in the center of the arena, abandoning his previous contempt.
The Blue Tyrant Team had been on a winning streak, and Xiao Wu, a powerful Soul Ancestor, possessed Charm control abilities, so he naturally dared not be careless.
"Second Soul Skill, Twin Wolf Possession!"
"Third Soul Skill, Gale Wind Twin Wings!"
Feng Xiaotian shouted twice, and his body shone with a bright blue light.
His second and Third Soul Ring flashed in succession, the huge wings on his back expanded by nearly half, his muscles bulged, and his speed and strength increased by 50% simultaneously. He was steadily suspended in mid-air by the gale.
Behind the arena, Ning Rongrong lightly stepped forward, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in her palm.
"The Nine Treasures Have Names: First: Strength; Second: Speed; Third: Soul; Fourth: Defense!"
A crisp sound echoed across the arena. Ning Rongrong activated the Four-Aperture Constant Heart, and several streams of colorful light accurately fell into the bodies of Xiao Wu, Lin Xuan, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tai Long.
With the four amplifications combined, the Soul Power fluctuations on the five people surged dramatically.
Lin Xuan moved extremely fast, instantly condensing several Talismans.
"Gale Talisman, Thunder Talisman!"
Lin Xuan flicked his wrist, and two batches of cyan and purplish-gold Talisman Paper shot out, firmly affixing themselves to the chests of Tai Long, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and himself.
The Talisman Paper touched the clothing and transformed into two streams of energy that flowed into the Meridians.
Azure wind patterns swirled around them, making their Footwork several times lighter; purple-gold arcs of electricity leaped across their limbs, each step accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity.
The entire Godwind Academy consists of wind-attribute Soul Master. In such high-speed battles, the paralyzing properties of Lightning are even more deadly.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuan flicked his fingertips, and a pale yellow Clear Mind Talisman flew out, affixed to Xiao Wu's forehead, and then disappeared.
"Xiao Wu, go!"
"Rest assured!"
Xiao Wu responded and rubbed her wrist.
Standing at the back, Jiangzhu gripped the Healing Scepter tightly, her Soul Ring lighting up, ready to unleash Healing Aura to support the front line at any moment.
Tang San slammed both palms onto the floor tiles.
"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"
"Second Soul Skill, Parasitism!"
A series of soft thuds emanated from the arena floor as thick vines, tempered by the Black Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, burst forth from the earth. Dark golden bamboo veins spread along the surface, and with the blessing of the Thunder Talisman, large bursts of electric sparks shot up, rapidly spreading towards the front row of the Divine Wind Team.
"Get him!"
With a roar, Tai Long unleashed his four Soul Ring —two yellow and two purple—his muscles bursting through his sleeves as he stomped the ground, crackling with lightning, and crashed head-on into the formation of the Divine Wind Team.
Zhu Zhuqing lightly touched the ground with her toes, using the speed boost from the Gale Talisman to leave a dark afterimage as she cut straight toward Feng Chi, the Reserve Team of the Divine Wind Team, on the flank.
Before the Divine Wind Team members could even scatter, barbed Blue Silver Grass vines sprouted from the cracks in the paving stones beneath their feet.
"Scatter! Don't get entangled!"
Reserve Team Feng Chi shouted a reminder, his arms transforming into Wind Blade as he slashed downwards.
However, the Black Jade Blue Silver Grass was exceptionally resilient. When the Wind Blade struck it, it only left a white mark. Instead, the Lightning on the vines was directly guided through the Wind Blade, causing Feng Chi's arm to go numb.
Upon seeing this, Feng Xiaotian's expression darkened slightly.
He saw Lin Xuan in the center of the arena raise his right hand, and several deep blue Talismans radiating extreme cold appeared in his palm.
The Talismans floated in mid-air, emitting a chilling aura of icy fragments.
Feng Xiaotian hurriedly shouted down:
"Forget the front line! Go stop Lin Xuan! Attack the back line Support Soul Master!"
The various elemental academies had already privately studied the strangeness of Lin Xuan's Talismans countless times.
Once Lin Xuan spreads out that strange Ice Lock, the entire area will be plunged into a quagmire.
The two Agility Attack System Soul Elder Masters of the Divine Wind Team, Feng Jun and Feng Dian, immediately changed direction using the wind, attempting to bypass Tai Long and Tang San from both sides and rush straight to Ning Rongrong and Jiangzhu behind them.
"Want to go there? Did you even ask me?"
Xiao Wu gave a soft hum, and her Third Soul Ring suddenly shone brightly.
"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation!"
The pink light and shadow vanished in place.
The next instant, Xiao Wu appeared out of thin air more than ten meters in the air, right above Feng Xiaotian's head.
Feng Xiaotian felt the air above his head suddenly sink. When he looked up, he was greeted by a pair of long, slender legs.
A pink glow appeared deep in Xiao Wu's eyes, and her Second Soul Ring lit up at the same time.
"The second Soul Skill, Charm!"
The two were only two feet apart. Feng Xiaotian was caught off guard, his mind went blank, and the flow of his Soul Power in his body stopped for a second.
A single second is enough to determine the outcome for Agility Attack System Soul Master.
Xiao Wu's body nimbly flipped in mid-air, her two long legs precisely clamping around Feng Xiaotian's neck from behind, while her scorpion braid swung out, tightly binding Feng Xiaotian's arms.
"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"
Xiao Wu let out a delicate shout, and brute force erupted from her waist and abdomen.
Feng Xiaotian's weight was no obstacle at all in front of her; he was swung around like a windmill in mid-air.
"Explosive Eight-Stage Fall!"
Xiao Wu kept her body in the air, using the levitation properties of the Gale Talisman to continuously exert force in the air.
One fall! Two falls! Three falls!
Dull impacts echoed in mid-air one after another.
Feng Xiaotian's double wolf protective shield was shattered by seven consecutive heavy blows, the protective blue light crumbled inch by inch, and his ribs throbbed with intense pain.
Eighth paragraph!
Xiao Wu stomped heavily on Feng Xiaotian's chest with both feet, using the force to flip backward and slam Feng Xiaotian straight to the ground.
The ground sank into a large pit, and gravel flew everywhere.
