Brother Feng, That Thing of Yours Is So Useful

The strength Feng Xiaotian had displayed in the match was astonishing. Not only was his speed unmatched, but his strength had also overwhelmed Yu Tianxin, who possessed the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

Thunderous applause erupted among the other four academies, including the Blazing Fire Academy students watching from the outside.

Vice Dean Cheng Cheng couldn't help murmuring, "It seems I still underestimated Xiaotian's strength."

Feng He asked in confusion, "When did Feng Xiaotian get so fast?"

As Godwind Academy's team leader, Feng He knew every student's strength very well. Yet, judging by what Feng Xiaotian had just shown, he could only guess that Feng Xiaotian had been hiding his strength before.

What they didn't know was that this Feng Xiaotian was no longer the same Feng Xiaotian. His body was still the same, but the soul at its core had been taken over by someone from Blue Star.

"Captain, we won!" Feng Lingyu said. He hadn't expected Feng Xiaotian to defeat Yu Tianxin so easily.

"That was only the first match," Feng Xiaotian said. "There are three more to go. Is anyone badly hurt and in need of treatment?"

Although all the academies specialized in a single attribute, they still brought in healing-type Soul Masters for matches like these.

After all, injuries were unavoidable in a competition.

The members of Godwind shook their heads. "Captain, these little injuries don't need treatment. A night's rest will be enough."

Just as Feng Xiaotian and the others were about to leave, Yu Tianxin's voice came from behind them. "Wait!"

Yu Tianxin leaped back onto the stage. His body didn't seem to have suffered any problems.

Although Feng Xiaotian's attacks had been swift and powerful, Yu Tianxin had been prepared, and Feng Xiaotian seemed to have held back as well. As a result, Yu Tianxin hadn't actually been hurt all that badly.

Feng Xiaotian turned around. "What else is there?"

"Brother Feng, there's something I don't understand," Yu Tianxin said. "How can you be so powerful when you're already so fast?"

"Isn't that normal?" Feng Xiaotian said. "Just train more!"

Yu Tianxin was taken aback. "Train more?"

Feng Xiaotian nodded. "As long as you work hard, you'll eventually reap the rewards. Besides, you seem a little too impatient, as though you're in a hurry to prove yourself. I think that might hold you back instead. Perhaps sometimes you don't need to prove anything at all. Just keep surpassing yourself, and that will be enough."

The others were somewhat baffled. They understood what Feng Xiaotian had said, but not why he had said it to Yu Tianxin.

Yu Tianxin, however, froze on the spot. He repeated the words to himself: "Surpass myself, surpass myself. That's right. I don't need to prove that I'm stronger than my younger cousin. As long as I keep working hard and surpassing myself, I'll surely earn the regard of the clan elders too."

"Brother Feng, thank you! I owe you a favor," Yu Tianxin shouted.

By then, Feng Xiaotian had already walked off the Soul Fighting stage. Without looking back, he simply raised a hand and waved.

As for why he had given Yu Tianxin that advice, to be honest, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's future was just too tragic. It would suffer the worst fate of the Upper Three Sects.

As for who was right and who was wrong, Feng Xiaotian didn't think there was any way to judge. Both sides were right, or both sides were wrong.

From Spirit Hall's perspective, destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was a necessary battle to unify the continent. They weren't wrong.

But from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's perspective, Spirit Hall was certainly wrong to attack them.

Ultimately, though, the clan was also at fault.

Their fault was that they weren't strong enough!

Their fault was that they hadn't prepared!

Because this was a world where the strong reigned supreme and only the fittest survived.

Besides, right and wrong were written by the final victor. Defeat meant being wrong; there was no question of who was really right.

Feng Xiaotian knew Douluo all too well. In the future, Spirit Hall would surely prepare to unify the continent, and he had no great ambitions or aspirations.

As long as he had enough strength by then to protect Godwind, his family, and his goddess, and could live free and happy afterward, that would be enough.

After all, now that he had come to the continent of romance, shouldn't he enjoy a few relationships?

But in the end, he would still be inextricably linked to the original story's plot. So it all came back to the original question: strength. With strength, everything could be solved.

Without strength, he could only passively take the blade. But to grow stronger as quickly as possible, aside from cultivating diligently himself, the most important things were still the system and the goddesses.

At that thought, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help glancing at the two sides of the Soul Fighting stage. Skywater Academy was on one side.

I must visit Skywater Academy more often when I have time.

On the other side was Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy. In the future, this woman's three measurements would definitely add up to at least 96.

Since she was a goddess, Feng Xiaotian wouldn't give up.

Although Huo Wu was a little annoyed with Feng Xiaotian for having concealed so much from her before, and felt somewhat displeased, she didn't know why her attention remained fixed on him.

When Feng Xiaotian looked at her again, Huo Wu immediately turned her head away, seeming a little embarrassed.

But the next moment, Huo Wu turned back, having regained control of her emotions in an instant. She stared at Feng Xiaotian as though flames burned in her eyes.

At the same time, she said to Huo Wushuang, "Brother, I know how to deal with Godwind. When the time comes, find a way to hold Feng Xiaotian off. I'll lead everyone else in taking down the rest of Godwind as quickly as possible."

Huo Wushuang was startled. "You mean use the same method Godwind used to beat Thunder Academy against Godwind Academy?"

"Exactly," Huo Wu said. "As long as you can hold Feng Xiaotian off, the others are nothing to fear. One minute. One minute is enough!"

Huo Wushuang asked, puzzled, "But wouldn't that be playing right into Feng Xiaotian's plan?"

"Brother, it works both ways. It all depends on who goes down first. As long as I defeat the rest of Godwind before your fight ends, there'll be seven of us left against one of him. We wouldn't even fear a Soul King then, so why would we fear Feng Xiaotian?"

Huo Wushuang suddenly understood. "All right, little sister, your analysis makes sense. I'll do my best to hold Feng Xiaotian off."

There were only two exchange matches a day. Once they were over, the academies exchanged almost no words and returned the way they had come to prepare for the next day's matches in peace.

The exchanges themselves were usually left until the evening after the competition ended, when the five academies held a joint banquet.

Godwind and Skywater Academy were staying next to each other, so they ran into each other after leaving the Soul Fighting stage.

Shui Yue'er was still a young girl. She went straight up to Feng Xiaotian with a smile on her face and said, "Brother Feng, that thing of yours is so useful. I love it!"

Thanks to the necklace Feng Xiaotian had given her, she had broken through her level-twenty-eight bottleneck the previous night, even though it would otherwise have taken her some time. Her Soul Power had now reached level twenty-nine, just one level short of thirty.

As soon as she advanced to Soul Elder, she could officially become a member of Skywater Academy's team!

With the necklace's help, Shui Yue'er also believed that day would come soon, so Feng Xiaotian was especially pleasing to her eyes now.

Feng Xiaotian smiled. "I'm glad you like it, Yue'er!"

Although Shui Yue'er had spoken quietly, everyone present was a Soul Master with hearing beyond that of ordinary people. How could they possibly have missed it?

Many of the Godwind members immediately smiled. That thing? Just what was it?
