Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 116 Battle against Feng Xiaotian

Time flies, and soon it will be the match between the Beast Academy and the Divine Wind Academy. This is the most anticipated match of this round, as both teams are currently undefeated.

Basically all the important figures were present: Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Prince Xue Xing and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire, Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Salas of the Spirit Hall, Dugu Bo, a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and even Emperor Xue Ye himself made an appearance.

Basically, people from all the major powers near the Heaven Dou Empire were present, and even the leaders and members of all the battle teams were there.

This match can be described as the highlight of the entire qualifying round. Feng Xiaotian is known as the number one genius of the Heaven Dou Empire, while the Beast Academy has an all-Soul Master lineup, which has attracted the attention of many.

Regardless of which team is participating, they all want to find weaknesses in the clashes between the two teams to facilitate their strategies in future matches.

As expected, Feng Xiaotian was the first to appear from Shenfeng Academy. So far, Feng Xiaotian has always been the first to appear from Shenfeng Academy, which seems to be deliberately creating momentum for him.

Surprisingly, the person from the Beast Academy was someone who had never appeared in the Soul Master Competition before: Yang Ping'an.

When Yang Ping'an appeared, there was a stir in the audience. Many people thought that the Beast Academy just wanted to send an ordinary Soul Master to wear down Feng Xiaotian's physical strength and soul power, or that they had already given up on the competition and were just sending a Soul Master with connections to train.

However, when Yang Ping'an stepped onto the arena, Feng Xiaotian opposite him became more serious than before: "Brother Yang, I didn't expect the Beast Academy to send you out first. It seems that even you can't resist the urge to show your strength."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Feng, I never expected that my first opponent would be you."

Feng Xiaotian smiled slightly: "Brother Yang, we've known each other for so long, and I've always known you're very strong, but I've never really fought you before. This is a good opportunity, so let's have a good fight."

Yang Ping'an nodded: "You haven't used your full strength in the Soul Master Competition yet. I also want to test how strong Brother Feng really is and see if he has improved significantly in just a few days."

As the referee gave the order, the two summoned their martial souls and soul rings. Yang Ping'an's introduction appeared on the big screen, and when his soul power was displayed as level 44, everyone present was stunned. They never expected that the Beast Academy would actually have a level 44 Soul Master hidden there.

Yang Ping'an directly activated his Martial Soul, displaying two yellow and two purple Soul Rings. With the referee's command, the match officially began.

Feng Xiaotian took the initiative, transforming his hands into claws and rushing towards Yang Ping'an at an extremely fast speed. His sudden acceleration was even faster than in any previous competition, forming a streak of azure light.

Yang Ping'an also ran quickly towards Feng Xiaotian, a golden light appearing behind him.

Just as the two were about to clash, Feng Xiaotian transformed his hands into a pair of wolf claws and swiftly reached out to grab Yang Ping'an. However, Yang Ping'an was not to be outdone and countered with palm strikes. In just a moment, the two exchanged blows multiple times, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

After exchanging several blows, Feng Xiaotian's first spirit ring lit up, and countless sharp claws shot out from his hands, all of them mercilessly locking onto Yang Ping'an. All the claws transformed into wind blades, moving at incredible speed, and there was also a faint, sharp sound of air being torn apart.

In particular, these dozens of wind blades basically enveloped Yang Ping'an from all sides, blocking all avenues for evasion.

But Yang Ping'an was not afraid at all. He gathered countless soul powers in his hands, which turned into two claws. He grabbed at the wind blade in front of him and shattered it when the claws collided with the wind blade.

Yang Ping'an's actions stunned countless people. Many knew that although this was only Feng Xiaotian's first soul skill: Wind Blade Array, its power and speed were absolutely beyond what ordinary flesh and blood could withstand. This showed just how formidable Yang Ping'an's defense and strength were.

Feng Xiaotian's gaze sharpened. He hadn't expected his soul skill to be broken so easily, and in such a simple and brutal way.

Yang Ping'an then leaped forward, swiftly dodging the wind blade coming from behind, and simultaneously spun around, kicking directly down from the sky towards Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian hurriedly used his wolf claws to defend himself, but he was still forced back several meters.

But Yang Ping'an didn't care about that. After missing his kick, he immediately lunged forward and reached out to grab Feng Xiaotian again with both hands. Just as Feng Xiaotian used his wolf claws to block, Yang Ping'an turned his claws into palms and chopped them down with force. Even Feng Xiaotian felt his hands go numb. Clearly, in terms of strength, Feng Xiaotian was still quite different from Yang Ping'an.

Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth, his second soul ring flashed, and his hands seemed to be possessed by two wolf heads, greatly increasing his attack power and speed once again.

But at this moment, Yang Ping'an's hands were like a pair of iron palms, directly and forcefully colliding with Feng Xiaotian's hands. Feng Xiaotian also became fierce, and the two clashed head-on, neither seemingly willing to be at a disadvantage.

At that moment, Yang Ping'an stretched out his hands, using his left hand to block Feng Xiaotian's hands, and his right hand to forcefully swing inward. In that instant, Yang Ping'an's second soul ring flashed, and a purple-gold light emanated from his hand. The light went directly from left to right, as if cutting. This was a mutated version of Yang Ping'an's second soul skill: Light Cutting.

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian was caught off guard and hurriedly used the Twin Wolves on his palms to defend himself, but Yang Ping'an's move was not just a simple light attack, but more like a continuous energy cutting.

The soul power in Feng Xiaotian's hands, shaped like wolf heads, was rapidly being cut and consumed under the purple light, as if it were about to slice Feng Xiaotian in two.

But in that instant, the purple-gold light vanished, causing Feng Xiaotian to lose control and his hands to swerve forward. Yang Ping'an seized the moment, his hands transforming into claws as he grabbed Feng Xiaotian's shoulders.

Feng Xiaotian was hit so hard that he was sent flying, with several long bloody welts appearing on his shoulders. He spun around in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood even showing at the corner of his mouth.

Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth and stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He even let out a sinister laugh: "Brother Yang, you're a master of disguise! If you hadn't stopped your second soul skill just now, would you have severed my arm?"

Yang Ping'an simply smiled slightly: "It's just a friendly spar, there's no need to go that far."

If Yang Ping'an had used his full strength in that instantaneous light-cutting move, he might not have severed Yang's hands, but he would have at least seriously injured him.
