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

Chapter 28 A Bet

Yun Yibai picked up the drink on the table and shook it slightly. To outsiders, it seemed he didn't take Feng Xiaotian seriously.

"Common topics?" He smirked, his gaze scrutinizing Feng Xiaotian.

"Create your own soul skill?"

"certainly!"

"I think we can communicate and exchange ideas, and learn from each other's experiences..." Feng Xiaotian had endless topics to discuss when it came to his self-created soul skills.

"Brother Feng!" Yun Yibai called out to Feng Xiaotian.

"What's wrong?"

"I've heard that Brother Feng possesses innate full soul power, and you're several years older than me, so how come your soul power is only level thirty-six?"

"A Soul Master with innate full Soul Power can at least become a Soul Master by the age of sixteen."

"And what about you, Brother Feng?"

Feng Xiaotian was speechless for a moment after Yun Yibai's words. Because what Yun Yibai said was indeed true. A person with innate full soul power, like him, who was sixteen years old and almost seventeen and was still only a Soul Venerable, was not rare, but practically unrecorded.

What kind of person is someone with innate full soul power? They are all top-notch geniuses in this world. Which soul master with innate full soul power would waste their time like Feng Xiaotian and not put their heart and soul into cultivation?

"What I want to tell you is that although we both created our own soul skills, we don't have anything in common to talk about for the time being."

"Let me say a few final words! Consider this a warning to you."

"I am Yun Yibai, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. I have a seventh-level innate soul power, am thirteen years old, and have a soul power level of thirty-four!" That's right, level thirty-four. I just broke through to that level recently.

"Just now, I, a level 34 Soul Master, defeated you, a level 36 Soul Master!"

"If I weren't a Soul Master, I wouldn't even have had the chance to fight you!"

After saying that, Yun Yibai left. As for why he told Feng Xiaotian all that, that was his own consideration.

Only Feng Xiaotian remained in the room.

"Innate soul power level seven, thirteen years old, level thirty-four..." Feng Xiaotian murmured this sentence repeatedly.

"He's thirteen years old and in grade thirty-four."

"When I was thirteen, I was only level thirty-three! Even now, my soul power is level thirty-six, level thirty-six..." Feng Xiaotian's eyes gradually became lifeless.

……

Time flew by, and the competition reached its final day. The competition among the five academies captivated many viewers, and the performance of Elephant Armor Academy also satisfied Cardinal Stuartson of the Spirit Hall.

The competition was followed by a banquet. During the banquet, Feng Xiaotian approached Yun Yibai again.

"What exactly did you mean by what you said that day? Were you trying to show off how talented you are?" In a secluded spot, Feng Xiaotian gazed at the moon, swirling a glass of champagne in his hand, and spoke in a languid tone.

"I just don't want you to go down the wrong path, and I don't want an excellent Soul Master with innate full Soul Power to waste his talent in Soul Power cultivation."

Or rather, I want to recruit you as my teammate!

"Me, your teammate? Forget it, you won't even get into Shenfeng Academy." Feng Xiaotian only understood half of the meaning behind those words.

"How did you do that? You have innate level seven soul power, and you actually reached level thirty-four at the age of thirteen. That's simply impossible. Even if you took drugs, you couldn't improve that much!" This was one of the questions that had been troubling Feng Xiaotian for some time.

Yun Yibai did not rush to explain what he had just said.

He took over Feng Xiaotian's question and said, "That depends on whether you have the guts!"

"What does this have to do with courage? Did you absorb a spirit ring across time limits?" Feng Xiaotian looked at Yun Yibai with a rather horrified expression; this was something he hadn't considered.

"How did you know?" Yun Yibai put on a good show of bravado.

"You're the person I've ever met who doesn't value their life as much as they do." Feng Xiaotian was speechless.

"This is just one aspect of courage!" Yun Yibai said, gazing at the moon.

"All three of my soul skills are amplification-type soul skills."

"Soul power amplification and attribute amplification are not secrets, and that is precisely why my soul power has increased so quickly."

"Amplified Soul Skill!!! You're insane!!"

"Aren't you afraid of killing yourself?" Feng Xiaotian was shocked and speechless.

Yun Yibai chuckled softly, a strange confidence gleaming in his eyes: "Afraid? Of course I'm afraid. But what I fear even more is that in my limited lifespan, I won't be able to pursue those infinite possibilities—that is, the realm of titles!"

"My innate soul power is only level seven. If I don't do this, how can I compete with you on the same stage?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Soul power is no longer my weakness, so I have more time to create my own attack methods."

"It turns out I made the right bet, didn't I!" Yun Yibai tilted his head and looked at Feng Xiaotian.

"Madman! Madman!" Feng Xiaotian shook his head.

"Feng Xiaotian, soul power is the foundation of a soul master. Perhaps after you have mastered your self-created soul skills, you will be able to fight beyond your level. But you will have stronger combat power when you combine higher soul power with your soul skills."

"For example, you, as a Soul Master, could easily defeat a Soul Master, so why bother trying to defeat someone of a higher level when you're only a Soul Venerable?"

Yun Yibai's words touched Feng Xiaotian's heart; no one had ever mentioned this to him before.

"Like I said, I've got my eye on your talent, and I want to recruit you as a teammate!"

"I want to find a group of capable friends and then challenge the Spirit Hall's dominant position in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"I didn't realize you had such ambitions!" Feng Xiaotian was somewhat surprised, even though what Yun Yibai said was what he also wanted to do.

"Your idea is good, but if your goal is me, you're not good enough yet!"

"At this moment, I am very fortunate, I am very fortunate that you, a madman, have taken a liking to my... talent!" As he finished speaking, Feng Xiaotian realized that something was wrong and quickly changed his words.

"Otherwise, I really would have gone all the way down this path."

"With your talent and this crazy drive, you might reach the Soul Sect before me."

"Your talent and skill have ignited my competitive spirit. I'm waiting for you!"

"I'm waiting for you to recruit me as a teammate, or for you to become my teammate."

Feng Xiaotian's words may seem simple, but the underlying interests are quite complex.

The two essentially made a bet, agreeing on a special time to settle accounts, with the winner going to the other party regardless of any obstacles.

Of course, this bet meant nothing to Yun Yibai, as he had no psychological burden whatsoever. Although he studied at Lanba Academy, it was by no means his final destination; he had no ties whatsoever.

If he gathers enough people, he can easily find an academy. Blue Tyrant Academy can't control him, and neither can the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
