Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 190 Guiding Feng Xiaotian

Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded when he saw that Tang San's attitude was so firm and that he also had a strong sense of dissatisfaction with him.

"Why did you hide this from your father, mistress? I need a reason."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't understand why Tang San didn't appreciate his efforts. He had done everything for Tang San's benefit.

"Teacher, if my father finds out about this, he will think that I have revealed the sect's skills, and he may beat me to death."

"Teacher, if you have the heart to see me beaten to death, then go and talk to my father!"

In order to hide his true secret, Tang San could only resort to this method to play the victim to Yu Xiaogang.

Tang San was very dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's meddling. He thought to himself: "You're good for nothing but causing trouble. If you hadn't offended Ye Liangchen, would I have been targeted by him? If I had told Tang Hao, Ye Liangchen might not have died, but I would have been killed by Tang Hao first."

"Alright then, be careful in the future."

Seeing that Tang San didn't want Tang Dachui to know about this, Yu Xiaogang stopped trying to persuade him. These major sects had very strict rules, especially regarding the leaking of sect secrets—a crime that was unforgivable. If Tang Hao found out, he would definitely be furious. While he might not kill Tang San, a severe beating would be inevitable.

Previously, Tang Hao had beaten Yu Xiaogang up because of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul cultivation problem. Now, Yu Xiaogang still harbors a great deal of resentment towards Tang Hao and does not want his disciple to be beaten up by Tang Hao.

……

It's unclear which bystander mentioned Tang San's tears after losing to Huo Wu, but the story quickly spread among all the participating academies, making Tang San a laughingstock.

"Hey! Did you guys hear? Tang San actually got beaten to tears by Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Team! It's hilarious!"

"It's just a game, and he actually cried. What a weirdo."

"Perhaps it's because he's a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master and can't accept this reality, hahaha..."

On this day, when the Shrek Academy team entered the Soul Arena, countless spectators looked at Tang San and began to discuss among themselves.

"Smack..."

Tang San, who was walking, stumbled and almost fell to the ground when he heard the crowd talking about him.

"Fatty, did you guys tell everyone about me?"

Tang San stepped forward and awkwardly questioned Fatty Ma in a low voice. He had only heard Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar cry before, so he assumed that it was these three guys who spread the word.

"Third Brother, when you walked out of the ring, your eyes were red. Anyone could tell you'd been crying. Need I say more?"

"Mistress, it's not a sin for a man to cry."

"It's good to cry, just to vent your frustrations."

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar patted Tang San on the shoulder, telling him not to take it to heart, but inwardly they were laughing their heads off.

"Brother, you even cried when you lost to the Blazing Fire Team? That was so embarrassing." Xiao Wu looked at Tang San in disbelief.

"Third Brother, is that true? How come we didn't know?"

Ning Rongrong stared at Tang San with a gossipy smile on her face, thinking: "A grown man actually cried because of Huo Wu, what a weirdo."

Yu Tianheng, Zhu Xiaomei, and the others also looked at Tang San, their faces flushed as they tried to hold back their laughter.

"They're talking nonsense, I just had sand in my eye!"

Tang San felt very uncomfortable being stared at by his companions, so he forced himself to say that he had gotten sand in his eyes and refused to admit that he had cried.

"Oh! So you got sand in your eyes!"

The Shrek team members all gave him a knowing look, which made Tang San extremely embarrassed; he almost dug a three-bedroom, two-living-room hole in the ground with his toes.

The qualifying rounds are nearing their end, and the competition among teams for a good ranking is becoming increasingly fierce.

However, no matter how hard the other teams fight, they still cannot shake the top five. Tianshui team is far ahead, followed by Shenfeng, Chihuo, Leiting, and Shrek team.

"The next match will be between the Tianshui team and the Kamikaze team."

"The Tianshui team has never lost a game so far. Can Feng Xiaotian of the Shenfeng team lead his team to create a miracle?"

After the other teams finished their matches, the host specially entered the Soul Arena to announce the duel between the two elemental academies.

"Wow! Feng Xiaotian is already a Soul King! Do you think he can dethrone the Tianshui team?"

"Look at what you're saying! The entire Tianshui team is composed of Soul Kings, especially Young Master Ye, who is an unparalleled prodigy. The Shenfeng team only has one Soul King, Feng Xiaotian. How could they possibly defeat the Tianshui team?"

The audience knew that the Kamikaze team couldn't defeat the Tianshui team, but they still hoped that Feng Xiaotian would bring a miracle.

"Brother Ye, there's no need for our two teams to face off one by one. Why don't we just have a direct match and play our best?"

"I've been waiting for my duel with you."

Feng Xiaotian went straight to Ye Liangchen's side and challenged him to a duel, wanting to see the true strength of this peerless prodigy.

"Xiao Chen, Feng Xiaotian has wanted to have a match with you for two years now. Say yes!"

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu were too lazy to go on stage and compete against the Shenfeng team, so they let Ye Liangchen handle everything.

"No problem, Brother Feng. Go tell the organizing committee, and we'll start right away and put on a great show."

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen had agreed, Feng Xiaotian ran over excitedly and asked the organizing committee to arrange the competition.

A moment later, the host flew to the arena and announced the match between Ye Liangchen and Feng Xiaotian.

"At the request of the two academies, each of the two teams will now send one player to fight for the victory."

"Please welcome Ye Liangchen from the Tianshui team and Feng Xiaotian from the Shenfeng team to the stage. Let's give them a round of applause."

The audience erupted in cheers, chanting, "Young Master Ye... Feng Xiaotian..."

Everyone thought the duel between the two super geniuses would be incredibly exciting.

Amid cheers from the audience, Feng Xiaotian strode confidently onto the stage, awaiting Ye Liangchen.

"Swish..."

To make the performance more exciting, Ye Liangchen directly activated the flight skill of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, took off from the stands, and then used the power of ice to condense an ice dragon in the air, stood on the head of the dragon, and slowly floated towards the arena.

"Wow! Young Master Ye's skills are so dazzling, so cool!"

"Soaring through the air! That's amazing!"

"That's what you call a real genius."

The audience was greeted with Ye Liangchen's stylish entrance and stood up to cheer.

"This little guy just loves to show off."

Bibi Dong, Ye Cailan, Shui Lanxin and the others were both amused and exasperated by Ye Liangchen's high-profile manner, but they were actually very happy.

"Uncle Jian, how did he do that?"

Ning Fengzhi watched Ye Liangchen glide slowly at a height of tens of meters without using wings, and felt very curious.

"I don't know either." Sword Douluo couldn't figure it out either, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Ye Liangchen used the power of ice to conceal the abilities of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, and everyone else's attention was focused on the long ice dragon, completely unaware that it was a Soul Bone skill.

"Brother Ye, although I know you're showing off, you're really awesome."

Feng Xiaotian gave Ye Liangchen a thumbs up after seeing his stylish entrance.

"A youth who doesn't show off is a wasted youth!"

After Ye Liangchen arrived at the arena, he calmly said something that completely stunned everyone.

"Haha...! A young man who doesn't show off is a wasted youth, that's so true."

Many viewers burst into laughter at Ye Liangchen's words.

"Pfft...! Gentlemen, are you ready?" the referee asked the two with a laugh.

"We are ready."

Ye Liangchen and Feng Xiaotian simultaneously made a gesture to the referee.

"Buzzing..."

Feng Xiaotian released the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf Martial Soul, and five soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—slowly rose up.

"Awoo..."

As soon as the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf Martial Soul appeared, it let out a roar. After the Martial Soul was attached to his body, it made Feng Xiaotian look like a werewolf, with a wolf head on each of his shoulders.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen also released his beautiful Goddess Martial Soul, with five soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and black—slowly rising.

"Seeing Young Master Ye's martial spirit is a pleasure every time."

"Yes, yes! And his combination of five spirit rings that broke all limits was dazzling."

The audience gasped in amazement as they looked once again at Ye Liangchen's martial spirit and spirit ring combination.

"hateful."

On the Shrek team's side, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San felt increasingly uncomfortable and jealous as Ye Liangchen became more and more outstanding.

"The match begins." Seeing that both players had released their martial spirits, the referee announced the start of the match and then flew away from the arena.

"First Soul Skill: Wind Blade Formation"

"Huff huff..."

Feng Xiaotian was the first to activate his soul skill, and in an instant, a series of spinning wind blades attacked Ye Liangchen.

"Dance of the Wind Swords"

Ye Liangchen also unleashed his self-created skill, Dance of Wind Swords, using wind swords to block the opponent's wind blades.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"Clang clang clang..."

Both of them used wind-attribute skills. In an instant, a strong wind arose on the arena, along with the sound of wind swords colliding with wind blades, displaying tremendous power.

Wow! Wind against wind, this scene is so exciting!

At this moment, the audience all stood up, their eyes wide open, watching the battle unfold on the field.

"Bang bang..."

After Feng Xiaotian finished his first wave of attacks, Ye Liangchen withdrew his Wind Sword Dance and immediately unleashed his first soul skill.

"Strangulation of Life"

"Swish..."

Several crystal-clear, emerald-green vines, like pythons, rushed towards the wind and laughed at the sky.

"Ghostly Appearances"

"Possessed by two wolves"

"Awoo..."

Feng Xiaotian dodged and immediately used his second soul skill to increase his overall attributes.

"Swish..."

After being possessed by two wolves, Feng Xiaotian dodged the attacks from the long vines, transformed his hands into wolf claws, and charged directly at Ye Liangchen, initiating close-quarters combat.

Ye Liangchen withdrew his first soul skill and immediately launched into a fight with his opponent, followed by an uppercut, a left front kick, a right leg kick, and then a 360-degree spinning kick.

"Bang bang..."

In the past month or so, Feng Xiaotian has practiced many martial arts techniques from the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, and his close combat skills are not weak either. He fought Ye Liangchen to a standstill.

"Hahaha..."

"Bang bang..."

For a moment, the two figures could not be seen on the field; only two afterimages and the dust that splashed up could be seen.

"Brother Ye, your martial arts are more exquisite. In close combat, I am no match for you."

"Fourth Soul Skill, Demon Wolf Storm."

"Awooo..."

Feng Xiaotian took a step back, and a purple soul ring lit up on his body. Immediately afterward, a wolf howl rang out, and in an instant, powerful tornadoes attacked Ye Liangchen.

"The Thorn of Life"

Ye Liangchen did not intend to use Wind Sword Dance to deal with Feng Xiaotian's Demon Wolf Storm, so he also used his fourth soul skill to retaliate against his opponent.

"Swish..."

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul skill, how terrifying!"

Fifth Soul Skill: Whirlwind Slash

Seeing that Ye Liangchen had unleashed his ten-thousand-year soul skill, Feng Xiaotian quickly used Ghost Shadow Step to dodge the attack, and then used his fifth soul skill to retaliate.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Whirlwind Slash is a skill that Feng Xiaotian obtained from a divinely bestowed soul ring. When this soul skill is used, five one-meter-long disc blades appear, carrying the power of wind, spinning and attacking Ye Liangchen.

"Swish..."

Looking at Feng Xiaotian's fifth soul skill, Ye Liangchen felt it was somewhat similar to the Golden Wheel of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, so he withdrew his fourth soul skill, quickly dodged, and at the same time unleashed the Myriad Leaves Flying Flower Stream.

"Manyo no Hikaru no Flow"

"Swish..."

"Bang bang..."

A python composed of more than a dozen green leaves, carrying immense power, collided with the opponent's whirlwind slash, producing a loud bang, after which both skills disappeared simultaneously.

"Brother Ye, I've mastered my self-created Soul Skill, Gale Wolf Slash, and I've reached a 36-hit combo. Would you like to give it a try?"

Feng Xiaotian had already used up all his major soul skills, and his soul power was only half left. So he prepared to use his self-created soul skills. As for his soul bone skills, he could not use them in public, lest some powerful people would covet them.

"A self-created soul skill? This Feng Xiaotian is truly extraordinary."

"Young people these days are amazing."

The audience was incredibly surprised to hear that Feng Xiaotian could actually create his own soul skill.

"Oh! Your self-created soul skill has already achieved a 36-hit combo? Then I'll have to try it out. Go ahead and use it! I can handle it."

Ye Liangchen gestured for Feng Xiaotian to demonstrate his self-created soul skill. Despite his interference, this guy still managed to master the 36-hit combo of his self-created soul skill. He's really something!

"Here I come."

"Possessed by two wolves"

"Swift Wings"

Feng Xiaotian took a few steps back, and his second and third spirit rings lit up one after the other.

After the two wolves possessed him, the two wolf heads of the Gale Demon Wolf merged into Feng Xiaotian's body. Immediately afterwards, a pair of hard, blue wings appeared behind him, carrying him directly up to a height of 50 meters.

"Brother Ye, the Gale Wolf Combo Slash is a combination of my second and third skills. Be careful."

"Huff huff..."

Feng Xiaotian used his wings as weapons, swooping down from the sky to slash at Ye Liangchen.

"The first strike..."

"Huff huff..."

"The Wind Sword is drawn."

"when…"

Ye Liangchen directly condensed a wind sword with the power of wind element, held it in his hand, and used it to block Feng Xiaotian's wing attack.

"The second strike..."

After his first strike, Feng Xiaotian immediately used the rebound force of the first strike to perform a large turn in the air and unleash a second strike using gravity acceleration.

"when"

"You have enough power, but you turn too slowly, creating an opening. If I hit the base of your wing, your self-created soul skill will be interrupted immediately."

Ye Liangchen felt that this guy's Gale Wolf Slash was similar to Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, both relying on the superposition of power to achieve greater strength.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Ye. I'll turn around faster then."

"The third strike, the fourth strike, the fifth strike..."

"Bang bang..."

Upon hearing Ye Liangchen's reminder, Feng Xiaotian immediately sped up to reduce his time spent in the process.

"Swish..."

"It's faster and has more power, but its accuracy is far worse."

"You're spinning too fast. You'll get dizzy and won't be able to find your target. The enemy won't just stand there waiting for you to strike."

Ye Liangchen used the Five Elements Bewildering Steps to directly dodge Feng Xiaotian's subsequent combo attacks, causing the opponent to be struck directly to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Sigh. Brother Ye, I've wasted so much time on this skill, but after your reminder, I've discovered a whole host of flaws."

"Referee, I concede."

Feng Xiaotian unleashed 36 consecutive slashes, but couldn't even cut a hair on his opponent's head, so he immediately conceded defeat.

"Oh! Tianshui team wins."

The referee then came to his senses, flew onto the ring, and announced the result of the match.

"Wow! That's amazing! This is what a real battle of spirits should be like."

The audience, having regained their senses, erupted in a tsunami of cheers.

"Brother Feng, you should actually change your mindset. Don't pursue the accumulation of power, just focus on speed."

Ye Liangchen commented on Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill, making him understand the skill's shortcomings.

"Let me show you what speed is."

"A white rainbow pierces the sun"

"Whoosh..."

"Look at my speed, do you think you can avoid me?"

Holding the Wind Sword, Ye Liangchen suddenly accelerated and appeared in front of Feng Xiaotian like lightning, the blade pressed against the other's neck.

"Huh! Are they going to fight again?" The audience was stunned when Ye Liangchen suddenly appeared in front of Feng Xiaotian.

"Brother Ye, that was too fast. I felt like you used less than a second before the blade was at my neck."

Feng Xiaotian was extremely surprised. Ye Liangchen was only about ten meters away from him. In the blink of an eye, the other party was able to kill him, and without even using his martial soul to enhance his power. It was truly terrifying.

"Remember this: of all martial arts techniques in the world, none are invincible except for speed."

Ye Liangchen recalled the profound saying of the Fire Cloud Evil God, so he said it to Feng Xiaotian, hoping that the other party would take it to heart, and then walked back to the stands.

Ye Liangchen originally wanted to say the word "martial arts", but he was afraid that Tang San would hear it and it would attract his attention, so he said "martial skills" instead.

"Of all martial arts techniques in the world, none are invincible except for speed."

The many Soul Masters in the audience were stunned by these words. When they looked at Ye Liangchen again, it was as if they were seeing a peerless master. Even Sword Douluo was the same.

Feng Xiaotian and the referee were also stunned in the center of the arena, unable to recover for a long time.

"Of all martial arts techniques in the world, none are invincible except for speed."

"Xiao Chen, you sound like a charlatan, spouting a whole bunch of theories."

Ye Liangchen returned to the Tianshui team's stands, where Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others gathered around him, curious about what he had said earlier.

"Am I wrong?" Ye Liangchen retorted.

"You're right, let's go back."

Bibi Dong, Ye Cailan, Shui Lanxin and the others smiled, and then called everyone back to the barracks.

"Truly a peerless prodigy!"

As Ye Liangchen left the Soul Arena surrounded by women, the audience felt that his back view was incredibly tall and imposing.
