Godwind Academy vs. Thunder Academy

As the Godwind Academy team activated their Martial Souls, Thunder Academy also took their positions and activated their own Martial Souls!

Leading them was Yu Tianxin's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, but when Yu Tianxin activated it, the sky suddenly began to darken.

The previously clear sky was shrouded in dark clouds almost instantly.

"What's going on? Is it going to rain?" The spectators below saw the sky change color and began discussing it among themselves.

Feng He also looked up at the sky. He had fought someone with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul before and knew that Yu Tianxin intended to face the Godwind Academy team in his strongest state.

The many Soul Masters below the stage seemed somewhat surprised by the sudden change in the surroundings, but everyone on Godwind Academy's side remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by it.

Feng Lingyu said, "The captain was right. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul has a move like this too. He really did hold back against Elephant Armor yesterday."

Feng Xiaotian immediately turned sideways and said, "Lingyu, stick to the plan."

Feng Lingyu replied, "Understood!"

Yu Tianxin had also kept his attention on Feng Xiaotian, countless thoughts running through his mind.

He thought of his younger cousin, Yu Tianheng, who was younger than him, more talented, and had stronger Soul Power at the same age. As a result, the family placed greater importance on Yu Tianheng and regarded him as the only choice to succeed the clan leader.

Facing Feng Xiaotian, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power, a Mutated Martial Soul, and Soul Power several levels higher than his own, this was a rare chance for him to prove himself to the family.

"Begin the match!"

At the host's command, Yu Tianxin shouted, "Wind sweeps in the rain, clouds obscure the sun; a dragon roams the nine heavens, jade thunder descends!"

The next moment, a light rain began to fall.

Godwind Academy's side naturally had countermeasures for this as well, with the sky thick with dark clouds and the rain Yu Tianxin had brought forth.

After all, water conducted electricity and could strengthen the effects of the Thunder Academy team members' Soul Skill attacks.

Behind Feng Xiaotian, Feng Lingyu flapped the wings of his Wind-Chasing Eagle Martial Soul and immediately flew into the air. A female teammate beside him, Luo Xin, flew up with him. Her Martial Soul was the Wind Bird.

One of Thunder Academy's Soul Masters possessed the Thunder Eagle Martial Soul, so when Feng Lingyu flew into the air, he flew up as well.

Seeing this, Feng Lingyu said, "Luo Xin, I'll leave blowing away the dark clouds to you."

Luo Xin smiled. "Don't worry. When it comes to blowing, that's my specialty."

After Feng Lingyu spoke, he immediately fixed his eyes on the Thunder Eagle in front of him. A bolt of lightning flew toward him.

But Feng Lingyu did not take it head-on. As an Agility Attack System Soul Master with the wind attribute, his speed was not affected in the slightest, even in the air. His opponent's lightning attacks could not get anywhere near him.

Lightning coiled around each of Thunder Academy's seven members. After using Martial Soul Possession, a teammate beside Yu Tianxin sprouted eight pale purple Spider Spears from his back, somewhat resembling Tang San's Eight Spider Soul Bone.

Feng Xiaotian knew this Soul Master too. His name was Lei Dong, and his Martial Soul was the Thunder Spider! During the promotion matches, his Soul Power had been at level forty-three, comparable to Yu Tianxin's at the time.

This man had suffered a miserable fate, though. Because he had injured Xiao Wu, Shrek's darling, Dai Mubai had ultimately punched him in the ribs and broken a full four of them, making it very difficult for Lei Dong to participate in the subsequent promotion matches.

It had to be said, Shrek really was very vengeful.

And this guy was a control-system Soul Master, the most troublesome opponent in Thunder Academy apart from Yu Tianxin.

In an instant, Lei Dong's Soul Ring lit up, and he sent Thunder Threads formed from lightning straight at Feng Xiaotian.

The lightning spider silk was clearly meant to control Feng Xiaotian. Yu Tianxin had already begun preparing an attack; as soon as Feng Xiaotian was restrained, Yu Tianxin would undoubtedly attack him as quickly as possible.

Feng Xiaotian stirred his Martial Soul, and his Soul Ring lit up.

After Martial Soul Possession, Feng Xiaotian's hands had almost taken the shape of wolf claws. Sharp claws sprang from his palms, and with a swing, he sent out ten semicircular wind blades.

The wind blades were incomparably sharp, and with Feng Xiaotian's level-forty Soul Power behind them, they were immensely powerful. Lei Dong's first Soul Skill, Thunder Threads, backed by his current level-thirty-four Soul Power, could not compare at all.

Like blades chopping vegetables and slicing melons, the ten wind blades tore through the spider silk almost instantly.

Nor did the ten wind blades stop there. They continued straight toward Lei Dong.

Swish... Lei Dong did his utmost to dodge, but two wind blades still struck his arm, cutting two gashes that streamed with blood.

This was not a scene from an anime. Taking a hit here meant real injuries and real blood, making it look far more brutal.

At that moment, a ray of light began to break through the sky.

High in the sky, Luo Xin used her Soul Skill to forcibly blow apart the dark clouds created by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Although she did not disperse them completely, she cleared the area above the Soul Fighting platform.

Feng Xiaotian shouted, "Attack!"

The members of Godwind Academy then attacked simultaneously in pairs!

Before the match, Feng Xiaotian had analyzed practically every member of Thunder Academy, so his teammates now had a general idea of their strengths and weaknesses and how to deal with them.

They would work in pairs and defeat them one by one.

The battle began. The assault looked simple, and the tactics were not particularly sophisticated, but once the two sides clashed, Godwind Academy used its advantage in speed and seemed able to completely suppress its opponents.

Some observant people might also have noticed that Godwind Academy seemed to know every member of Thunder Academy extremely well, avoiding their attacks and delivering their own strongest attacks at the right moments, playing to their advantages.

Seeing that his teammates had all engaged in battle and were falling behind, Yu Tianxin said, "Lei Dong, go help them. I'll deal with Feng Xiaotian."

Lei Dong said, "All right, leave the others to me."

Although Lei Dong's arm was injured, it did not affect him all that much. Once he joined in, Godwind Academy's other teammates were visibly having a harder time, their attacks and counterattacks hampered.

Although the wind attribute had tremendous cutting power and was the bane of many control-system Soul Masters,

if the cutting Soul Skill was not powerful enough, it could not quickly cut through an opponent's control, or might not be able to cut through it at all.

Take Lei Dong, for example. At level thirty-four, his Soul Power was generally three levels higher than that of Feng Xiaotian's teammates, so cutting completely through his control required more time and Soul Power.

This was also a situation Godwind had to face. After all, their teammates' overall strength was what it was. They did not have to defeat their opponents outright; holding them off and preserving their fighting strength would be enough.

It was difficult, but fortunately Feng Xiaotian had already explained the relevant countermeasures to his teammates. Though they had suffered some injuries, they had not lost too much fighting strength.

At this point, nearly everyone below the stage held their breath, because the main event was about to begin.

Feng Xiaotian and Yu Tianxin moved at the same time. Lightning gathered around Yu Tianxin's fist as he punched at Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian moved nimbly, turning his body slightly to dodge the attack. With a boom, the pale purple lightning exploded not far behind him.

His Gale movement technique had reached minor mastery, more than doubling Feng Xiaotian's already agile movements.

Seeing that his attack had been ineffective, though it had come close to hitting Feng Xiaotian, Yu Tianxin struck out with both hands. His Soul Ring condensed, and he immediately sent out more than a dozen attacks like the previous one.

Feng Xiaotian smiled faintly. Does this count as the prince's fighting style?

This is the perfect chance to test how effective my movement technique is!
