Soul Power Rises Again, Wolf Fang Fist

Back in his room, Feng Xiaotian finally relaxed, slumping onto the reasonably soft sofa. His gaze, however, was utterly serious and focused.

Rows of exchange options from the system stood before Feng Xiaotian's eyes.

Tomorrow was the second day of the exchange tournament and Godwind Academy's first match. It was also a tournament in which they could not afford to lose a single match.

Feng Xiaotian had to lead the team to victory in every match of the exchange tournament without using his third Soul Skill or Gale Consecutive Slashes.

Although he was already familiar with all his teammates, none of them were particularly strong. Of the six, only two were reasonably good.

The others could only be described as average, and, crucially, they had been forcibly forbidden from using one Soul Skill. That would make defeating the other academies much more difficult.

To win every match, Feng Xiaotian could not place his hopes on his teammates. In the end, he would have to rely on himself during the matches.

There were about twenty hours until tomorrow's match. Feng Xiaotian did not have much time left, but it was not a small amount either.

Feng Xiaotian decided to raise his Soul Power a little further first, reaching level forty, the limit of his current rank. Level forty-one was out of the question for now. After all, everyone knew he was a Soul Elder, and an extra Soul Ring would certainly arouse suspicion.

"System, exchange for five Intermediate Soul Power Pills."

The Intermediate Soul Power Pill was very effective. Feng Xiaotian had taken one on the way here yesterday, allowing him to break through from level thirty-eight to level thirty-nine.

However, one developed a certain resistance to the pills and could take no more than ten. Most importantly, they had no side effects whatsoever.

Among the options currently available in the system, they were the most suitable for increasing his Soul Power at his present stage.

Of course, there were other pills that increased Soul Power, but all of them had side effects to varying degrees.

Feng Xiaotian decided to try the Intermediate Soul Power Pills first. If he could not break through, there would still be time to try something else.

With the Intermediate Soul Power Pills in hand, Feng Xiaotian instantly shed his somewhat lazy posture. He sat cross-legged on the sofa and swallowed one pill.

Feng Xiaotian began circulating his Soul Power, still using the most basic method.

Although the system had quite a few cultivation methods, he could not yet exchange for the one he wanted most.

He had considered that cultivation method before. Practicing it required the wind-attribute immortal-grade Nine-Star Wind Jade Flower from the system to forge a Wind Spirit Body.

Even setting aside the two million Wolf Warrior Coins needed for the Nine-Star Wind Jade Flower, the basic portion of the cultivation method alone cost five hundred thousand Wolf Warrior Coins.

At first, influenced by the various novels he had read in his previous life, Feng Xiaotian had wanted cultivation methods involving the completion of the five elements, or things like chaos and primordial unity, capable of annihilating heaven and earth.

He had assumed the system did not have any, but, unexpectedly, his search had actually turned them up.

Yet all those cultivation methods were grayed out, with no prices listed.

That meant he could not exchange for them. Only after asking the system did Feng Xiaotian learn that many items in the system could not be used or exchanged for on the Douluo Continent.

After all, the Douluo Continent was a plane of too low a level. Even if one possessed those cultivation methods, one could not use them, and the Douluo World could not support their existence either.

Moreover, even the cultivation method Feng Xiaotian wanted could only be exchanged for in its basic form, though that was already enough on the Douluo Continent.

Even the basic portion alone was several times stronger than Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.

After all, the Mysterious Heaven Skill by itself cost only fifty thousand Wolf Warrior Coins in the system. The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, which contained the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San's various cultivation methods, and records of all his Hidden Weapons, cost four hundred thousand Wolf Warrior Coins.

If one day Feng Xiaotian felt he had enough Wolf Warrior Coins, or simply found Tang San too unpleasant to look at, he would not mind exchanging for the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, printing thousands or tens of thousands of copies, and distributing them across the continent!

The second Intermediate Soul Power Pill was almost as effective as the first. As Feng Xiaotian circulated his Soul Power, he refined the pill's immense medicinal power into his own Soul Power and stored it in his dantian.

Since there were no side effects, Feng Xiaotian took a second pill as soon as he finished the first, then a third!

Time passed slowly, and Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power gradually increased.

But after the third pill, the medicinal effect decreased considerably. By the fifth pill in his hand, it was only half as effective as the first.

Even so, that many Intermediate Soul Power Pills sent Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power soaring.

Once he had taken all five Intermediate Soul Power Pills, the bottleneck between level thirty-nine and level forty finally loosened, and he successfully broke through to level forty.

By then, it was nearly noon. After his Soul Power stabilized, Feng Xiaotian went out for a quick bite, then returned to his room.

The increase in Soul Power meant his combat strength had increased as well.

The power of Soul Skills was tied to Soul Power: the stronger one's Soul Power, the more powerful the effect of a Soul Skill.

For example, there was a clear difference between using one's first Soul Skill at level eleven and using it at level twenty-one.

But even that was not enough to give Feng Xiaotian complete confidence in winning the upcoming matches.

Feng Xiaotian looked at the system again. Since he could not use his third Soul Skill or Gale Consecutive Slashes, he needed more skills to deal with the upcoming matches.

That was also one of the best ways to increase his combat strength.

Feng Xiaotian had two options before him. The first was a movement technique. Although he already had the speed of an agility-type Soul Master, he had no movement technique. One would let him bring his speed to its fullest potential.

The second was a means of attack. Of the first two Soul Skills he could use, the first was Wind Blade Array, and the second was Twin Wolf Possession.

Twin Wolf Possession enhanced his overall physical capabilities, but not by much. It only increased his attack, defense, and agility by fifty percent.

If combined with a suitable attack skill, however, the increase would be more than fifty percent.

"System, bring up wind-attribute movement techniques and attack skills!"

Half an hour later!

Taking into account the three hundred and forty thousand Wolf Warrior Coins he possessed, he narrowed down the options through successive rounds of selection.

Only two lines remained on the system interface before Feng Xiaotian's eyes. He muttered, "The techniques themselves are pretty cheap, but isn't the cost of practicing them way too damn high?"

The movement technique "Gale" cost 30,000 Wolf Warrior Coins. Reaching the beginner stage required 30,000 Wolf Warrior Coins, minor mastery required 60,000, major mastery required 120,000, and perfection required 240,000.

The martial skill "Wolf Fang Fist" cost 40,000 Wolf Warrior Coins. Reaching the beginner stage required 40,000 Wolf Warrior Coins, minor mastery required 80,000, major mastery required 160,000, and perfection required 320,000.

The Gale movement technique was the basic version of another movement technique worth five hundred thousand Wolf Warrior Coins. If it proved insufficient later, he could exchange for further improvements.

Next was Wolf Fang Fist. The name even reminded Feng Xiaotian of another anime from his previous life.

Of course, he had not chosen it out of nostalgia. Rather, this set of offensive martial skills seemed tailor-made for him.

Feng Xiaotian had the wind attribute, and his Martial Soul was a mutated Gale Twin-Headed Wolf. Wolf Fang Fist combined with his second Soul Skill, Twin Wolf Possession, could absolutely be called perfect!
