Godwind's First Battle: Facing Thunder Academy

Early the next morning!

The second day of the Five Elemental Academies Exchange Tournament!

The weather was clear, with not a cloud in the vast sky. It was also a day recorded in history, a day that witnessed the emergence of the strongest person in the continent's history.

Godwind Academy arrived relatively early that day. About half an hour later, the other teams began to arrive one after another.

Feng Xiaotian had wanted to arrive early so his teammates could walk around on the Soul Fighting platform.

For most of the team, this was their first time taking part in a competition like this, so a little nervousness was inevitable.

Just as people in his previous life might visit an exam venue beforehand, the team stood and walked around on the Soul Fighting platform for a while, easing their nerves a little.

To be honest, Feng Xiaotian was the most nervous of them all.

After all, today's match would be his first real battle since coming to the Douluo World. He had to succeed; failure was not an option!

After arriving, the academies went to their respective areas, with almost no communication between them.

Huo Yan, the host, did not appear that day. Huo Lie, who had hosted yesterday, was once again in charge of the exchange competition.

Huo Lie leaped onto the center of the Soul Fighting platform and announced, "There will be two matches in today's exchange competition: Blazing Fire Academy against Elephant Armor Academy, and Godwind Academy against Thunder Academy. Skywater Academy will rest today."

After speaking, Huo Lie looked around and said, "If there are no objections, let us now welcome Blazing Fire Academy and Elephant Armor Academy for the first match."

Once he had made the announcement, Huo Lie immediately stepped down. The teachers from the three academies other than Elephant Armor Academy and Blazing Fire Academy then came forward and stood at three positions around the Soul Fighting platform to serve as referees for the match.

Unlike yesterday, Blazing Fire Academy's lineup had not changed at all, while Elephant Armor Academy's had changed considerably.

Elephant Armor Academy seemed to have fought Thunderclap Academy rather fiercely yesterday. Huyan Li and two other mainstays did not take the field, instead sitting in the rest area. They had probably been injured in their clash with Yu Tianxin and were sitting out as a precaution.

Of the five academies, Elephant Armor could be said to be the weakest.

Elephant Armor Academy was already inferior to Blazing Fire Academy, and with Huyan Li and two other mainstays absent, the gap between the two teams was even greater.

The strongest person they fielded was only a level thirty-three Soul Master.

With Huo Wu controlling the entire field and Huo Wushuang charging in, Blazing Fire Academy soon defeated Elephant Armor Academy. It could be said that they won this battle with ease.

When the two teams left the platform, Feng Xiaotian stood up as well. "It's our turn!"

It had to be said that Thunder Academy was a formidable rival among the five academies.

Yu Tianxin possessed the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Although he appeared to have only level thirty-five Soul Power, his maximum combat strength was such that even a Soul Ancestor would have to face him with care.

Feng Xiaotian had indeed been very nervous at first, but as he led the six teammates behind him toward the Soul Fighting platform, he found that he no longer seemed quite so nervous. Instead, he was excited, his blood boiling.

His fists slowly clenched, and at that moment, Feng Xiaotian felt as though he had endless strength.

Across from him, Thunder Academy's Yu Tianxin felt the same way!

To him, Feng Xiaotian was undoubtedly the strongest opponent in this competition. After all, someone with Innate Full Soul Power could not be that useless.

During this seemingly solemn and quiet entrance, a cheer for Godwind rang out from Skywater Academy's direction.

"Go, Brother Feng!"

For a moment, several goddesses from Skywater Academy seemed like Feng Xiaotian's little fangirls!

Many people were displeased when they heard it. What was going on with this Feng Xiaotian? Even the goddesses were cheering him on.

Huo Wu's brows also furrowed slightly when she heard it. If this had been the Feng Xiaotian she had met a month ago, and she were the one taking the field, then Feng Xiaotian would definitely have been the one cheering the loudest.

But by the time of this exchange competition, Feng Xiaotian's whole manner had changed.

It was as though he had suddenly lost all interest in her. Instead, the girls from Skywater Academy seemed to think quite well of Feng Xiaotian.

Am I really inferior to them?

At that moment, Huo Wu could not stop comparing herself to them.

It was like having someone treat you well like a dog for ninety-nine days straight. Though you did not like that person, you enjoyed the feeling of being admired.

But on the hundredth day, that person ignored you completely, and you lost your sense of superiority, that feeling of looking down from on high. It made Huo Wu extremely unhappy!

Huo Wu was unhappy whenever she looked at Feng Xiaotian now, and seeing the goddesses of Skywater Academy cheer him on made her even unhappier.

No, I can't lose to those women from Skywater Academy!

A flame seemed to burn in Huo Wu's eyes.

Huo Wushuang naturally noticed his sister Huo Wu's state, but he did not understand why.

That was because she was a woman-and an extremely proud and contrary Huo Wu at that. No matter what it was, she would never admit defeat.

On the Soul Fighting platform, Feng Xiaotian led his team to a stop about ten meters from Thunder Academy.

The seven team members faced Thunder Academy, with Feng Xiaotian at their center.

Thunder Academy did the same, with Yu Tianxin standing in the middle.

Yu Tianxin spoke first. "Brother Feng, I've long wanted to experience your Innate Full Soul Power talent. Today, I've finally got the chance. I hope you won't hold back. Let's have a good fight."

Feng Xiaotian smiled faintly. "Little Brother Tianxin, that depends on whether you can show enough strength to make me give it my all."

Yu Tianxin said confidently, "I absolutely can!"

Listening to their conversation was enough to make one's blood boil.

Shui Yue'er had now completely transformed into Feng Xiaotian's little fangirl. "Sister, do you think Brother Feng and his team can beat Thunder Academy?"

Shui Bing'er said seriously, "It'll be difficult!"

"Why?" Shui Yue'er asked. "Doesn't Brother Feng have level thirty-eight Soul Power, the highest in this exchange competition?"

Shui Bing'er said, "Matches aren't always decided by Soul Power. If Yu Tianxin, who possesses the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, attacks with all his strength, even an ordinary Soul Ancestor would be no match for him."

"Besides, Thunder Academy has fielded the mainstays who fought yesterday. Apart from the level thirty-five Yu Tianxin, there are two level thirty-four Soul Masters, one level thirty-three, and three level thirty-two."

"What about Brother Feng's side?" Shui Yue'er asked again.

Shui Bing'er said, "Perhaps they've hidden even more than we have. Apart from Brother Feng, the rest... may all be Godwind Academy's substitutes."

"How is that possible!" Shui Yue'er exclaimed. "Brother Feng actually brought substitutes to compete. Can they win?"

Just then, a referee on the platform called out, "Activate your Martial Souls!"

Only then did everyone turn their full attention to the Soul Fighting platform.

Yesterday, they had already seen Yu Tianxin and his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. His combat strength was immensely powerful; Huyan Li, the captain of Elephant Armor Academy, had been no match for him at all.

Today, the main attraction was Feng Xiaotian. Just how strong was someone with Innate Full Soul Power? And how did he compare to Yu Tianxin?

At that moment, after the referee called for them to activate their Martial Souls, Feng Xiaotian spoke at the same time. "Positions!"

The next moment, Godwind Academy's other six team members spread out, taking their places to Feng Xiaotian's left, right, and rear.

There were two on either side of Feng Xiaotian and two behind him, while Feng Xiaotian occupied the lead position alone.

Once they were in position, waves of cyan light flashed, and all seven activated their Martial Souls almost simultaneously!
