Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 122 Stepping Stone? Don't even think about it!!

The gains from this trip to the Tianjian Mountain black market were enormous, especially the head soul bone, which was a completely unintentional find. Although the increase in soul power was small, the improvement brought by the soul bone was not limited to soul power.

The qualifying matches are still ongoing.

The qualifiers continued until halftime.

And once again, Martial Arts Academy clashed with Blazing Fire Academy.

"This time it's my turn!" Before anyone could make a move, Feng Xiaotian stood up.

The next moment he was flying towards the competition stage.

The first to take the stage from Blazing Fire Academy was Soul Master Huo Xiangche.

"Damn it, it's Feng Xiaotian again! Does he want to use our Blazing Fire Academy as a tool to show off, just like Yun Yibai did?"

At this moment, Huo Wushuang was also extremely displeased. Although he and Feng Xiaotian had a decent relationship, it didn't mean that the other party could use his Blazing Academy as a stepping stone.

Huo Wu, standing to the side, was also clenching her hands tightly. Her hands were swollen, and there were some bumps on the back of her palms.

"Hmph! I won't let him succeed!" Huo Wu snorted coldly.

For someone as proud and arrogant as Huo Wu, snorting coldly seems to be her normal behavior.

"Xiao Wu~" Originally, Huo Wushuang's anger was directed at Feng Xiaotian, but as Huo Wu spoke, his focus returned to Huo Wu.

Huo Wushuang's gaze held a hint of pity. He hadn't expected that his words that day would cause Huo Wu to torment herself so much, and that her ultimate goal was to quickly become stronger so she could get revenge on Feng Xiaotian.

"Alas! Where can I find a Ghost Cutter Grass that's over two hundred years old?!" Huo Wushuang lamented inwardly.

The herb Onikiri is already rare in this world, and a complete cure for Huowu's condition would require herbs that are over two hundred years old.

This must have caused Huo Wushuang a lot of pain!

Legend has it that the Onikiri grass is a medicinal herb that grows in the underworld, but this claim is somewhat exaggerated. However, the Onikiri grass does have extremely demanding growing conditions; it can only be found in places where yin and yang meet.

The so-called place where Yin and Yang meet refers to those places where extreme Yin and extreme Yang meet, often accompanied by strange natural phenomena.

For example, at the time of day and night transition, there might be traces of the Onikiri grass on the highest peak.

For example, there are special places where thin mist composed of a mixture of cold and hot air suddenly rises from the ground, and there is a very high probability that you can find Onikiri in such places.

The herb *Gnaphalium affine* thrives tenaciously in this extreme environment.

On the competition stage, Feng Xiaotian had already eliminated the top five members of Blazing Fire Academy. Only Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu remained for Blazing Fire Academy.

In order to conserve more soul power, Feng Xiaotian did not hold back at all when he came up.

To be honest, he doesn't have a soul bone that can efficiently restore milk production like Yun Yibai.

"Feng Xiaotian, you're such a bastard!" Huo Wushuang muttered to Feng Xiaotian as soon as he entered the arena.

Feng Xiaotian: "????"

"I won't let you succeed." Huo Wushuang had already assumed a fighting stance.

With the referee's command, Huo Wushuang's martial spirit manifested, and his hands transformed into a pair of fiery dragon claws, charging towards Feng Xiaotian.

The Martial Arts Academy students watched Feng Xiaotian's battle with relative ease.

"This Blazing Academy seems a bit different today!" Oscar was one of the more active members of the Martial Arts Academy team.

Within the Martial Arts Academy, under normal circumstances...

Yun Yibai is aloof and cold, Dugu Yan is elegant and cold, Feng Xiaotian is arrogant and aloof, Yang Tai is obsessed with battle, Niu Tian is calm and composed, and Ye Lingling is quiet and peaceful.

"Indeed, in this ranking match against Blazing Fire Academy, they seem to be much stronger in both their offensive and their attitude," Yang Tai also noticed.

"Did Feng Xiaotian do something to offend them?" Niu Tian also joined the discussion, clearly attracted by the topic Oscar had started.

"It doesn't look like it. Brother Feng hasn't visited Blazing Academy for quite some time now."

"Perhaps Feng Xiaotian wants to defeat Blazing Academy single-handedly, just like Yun Yibai did!"

"After all, no one likes to become someone else's stepping stone to the top," Dugu Yan said calmly, looking at the arena.

……

"Huo Wushuang, give up your pointless struggle!" Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wings carried him through the air. As he spoke, he unleashed more than a dozen wind blades towards Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wushuang dodged Feng Xiaotian's first few attacks, but he couldn't dodge the wind blades that followed.

Huo Wushuang unleashed his soul skill, and his flame attack shattered the wind blades.

"fart!"

"Even if I can't defeat you, don't even think about using our Blazing Fire Academy to establish your authority!"

"Then don't blame me for disregarding our friendship!" Feng Xiaotian said, then sped up.

"Swift Wind Demon Wolf... Consecutive Slashes!!" Feng Xiaotian's deep voice rang out.

As Feng Xiaotian's figure disappeared from the audience, a streak of cyan light swept across the competition stage.

Azure arcs of light left afterimages on the arena as Feng Xiaotian's attacks came wave after wave like a storm. Huo Wushuang fought with all his might, constructing layers of defense with flames in an attempt to withstand the relentless onslaught.

Huo Wushuang kept resisting. He felt helpless; how many times had this happened!

He had been defeated by Feng Xiaotian's "Gale Wolf Combo Slash" many times. At first, it was okay, but as Feng Xiaotian's attacks increased, the speed and power kept increasing, making him powerless to resist.

Normally, Huo Wushuang wouldn't be able to hold on when Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf attacks stacked up to twenty or more times. And now, the gap between him and Feng Xiaotian is even greater than before.

But this time, he persisted. There was no sign of retreat in Huo Wushuang's eyes. He had only one thought in his mind: "This time, he must persevere. No matter what, he must create a greater advantage for Huo Wu."

As time went by, Huo Wushuang's physical strength gradually ran out, his soul power decreased, and the light of his flames dimmed.

"Huo Wushuang, you are really good. You have managed to persevere until now despite such a huge gap in skill. Your willpower has indeed become stronger." Feng Xiaotian's voice rang in his ears, with a hint of admiration.

"Ha, you can stay in Hurricane Canyon for so long, but I'm not allowed to improve!" Huo Wushuang's face was covered in sweat, and his voice was weak.

"Alright! But the outcome of this match is already decided."

Feng Xiaotian finally sent Huo Wushuang off the stage.

Huo Wushuang was too exhausted, so the rest of the Blazing Fire Academy brought him back.

Huo Wushuang looked at Huo Wu, "Little sister, I've done my best!"

"Um!"

Huo Wu looked at Feng Xiaotian on the field, "I will defeat him!"
