Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Yu Xiaogang didn't answer Xiao Yan's question, but stared at Dai Mubai, who had taken a small step back. "Flander must have told you that what the teacher says in class is equivalent to an order, right?"

“…Yes.” Dai Mubai replied reluctantly.

“Alright, let’s start with someone else, Yan Xiao!” Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Xiao Yan, “Zhao Wuji will be here soon. Do you want to start now, or wait until he arrives?”

"Let's wait until Teacher Zhao arrives," Xiao Yan shrugged indifferently. After all, dealing with Tang San wouldn't take any effort at all.

"Alright, then, Dai Mubai, begin your special training, starting with Ma Hongjun!"

Although he looked reluctant, Ma Hongjun still stepped forward and stood opposite Dai Mubai with a guilty look on his face.

While Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were engaged in an ugly duel, Zhao Wuji arrived at the edge of the playground. "Oh, it hasn't started yet? Am I pretty early?"

Yu Xiaogang gave the nonchalant Zhao Wuji a cold look, then stopped the two on the field and had Xiao Yan and Tang San walk to the center of the playground.

"Alright, gravity increased!"

After the two stood in their positions, Zhao Wuji activated his martial spirit, and his third spirit ring lit up. "Now, let me explain the rules."

Seeing that Xiao Yan and Tang San's shoulders slumped slightly before they stood up again, Zhao Wuji began to explain the rules of the duel in a loud voice.

"First, the fighting area is limited to this playground; anyone who goes outside the area will be disqualified."

"Second, the betting will continue indefinitely unless one side concedes."

"Third, the use of soul power and martial soul is not allowed. Apart from that, all man-made weapons are unrestricted. It should be noted that no matter what the final outcome is, you are all classmates, so you are not allowed to kill each other!"

"Finally... the duel begins!"

At Zhao Wuji's command, Tang San took a step forward, preparing to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps to get close to Xiao Yan and take him down in the shortest possible time.

However, as soon as he took a step, Tang San realized that something was wrong. His legs, which were usually so light, felt like they were filled with lead. Every step seemed to require all his strength. At this moment, forget about Ghost Shadow Step, even running seemed like a luxury for him.

"You'd better not move yet," Xiao Yan said, standing still and calmly looking at Tang San. "The increased gravity affects not only your external body but also your internal organs. If you don't adapt first, it will damage your very foundation."

"So you're just going to stand still and exhaust my stamina as much as possible?" Tang San's lips curled up slightly. "You're already admitting defeat before the battle has even begun?"

Despite his incredibly slow movements, he still refused to admit defeat.

"Then...as you wish."

With a helpless shrug, Xiao Yan put his hands in his pockets and strolled leisurely toward Tang San.

Looking at Xiao Yan walking towards him, Tang San's eyes flashed with surprise. He couldn't understand why Xiao Yan could walk so naturally under such heavy pressure. However, facing Xiao Yan walking towards him, Tang San chose the same approach Xiao Yan had taken before—standing still.

"This kid..."

Watching Xiao Yan effortlessly move forward under five times gravity, without even his breathing becoming heavy, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes. He seemed to understand why Xiao Yan had been slapped by the Titan Giant Ape earlier, but when they arrived, Xiao Yan seemed completely unharmed—

With this kind of physical ability, even Zhao Wuji would think you're being conservative if you said Xiao Yan was a humanoid soul beast!

"Are you sure they're both experiencing five times the normal gravity?"

Seeing Xiao Yan approaching Tang San step by step, Yu Xiaogang became a little anxious and asked the question in an almost interrogative tone.

"Heh, you'll know once you go in and try it yourself," Zhao Wuji glanced at Yu Xiaogang. If Yu Xiaogang and Flander weren't friends, Zhao Wuji could twist his head off without anyone saying a word, just based on that tone.

Yu Xiaogang was used to being mocked, so he wasn't annoyed by Zhao Wuji's words and simply walked towards the playground.

Then he fell flat on his face. If he hadn't caught himself with his hand at the last moment, all his big white teeth would probably have been shattered.

"I don't have that much control. The entire playground is covered by five times the gravity," Zhao Wuji said, picking his earwax with his little finger in the face of Yu Xiaogang's resentful gaze.

"Although it's only the third soul skill, the large coverage area and the uncertainty of how long it will last are quite tiring. I just remembered this and went to ask Lao Shao for a candy."

Seeing the comical scene unfolding among the teachers, the trainees all tried their best to hold back their laughter, afraid that they might accidentally burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, on the field, the distance between Xiao Yan and Tang San was less than two meters.

"You should be able to react to this distance by now, right?" After scanning the distance between himself and Tang San several times, Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"I even made a point of walking here slowly. Now that you've lost, you have no excuses, right?"

The moment he finished speaking, Xiao Yan appeared beside Tang San.

'What?!'

Tang San's eyes widened suddenly, and the next moment, a sharp pain shot through his lower abdomen.

"Can we announce the results now?"

After glancing at Tang San, who was kneeling on the ground bent over like a shrimp, Xiao Yan shifted his gaze to Yu Xiaogang, who was anxiously standing at the edge of the playground, but dared not step into the playground again.

"Cancel the soul skill first!" Yu Xiaogang roared.

Zhao Wuji curled his lip, "Alright, the winner of this bet is—Yan..."

"No! I haven't lost yet!"

Tang San, who was embracing a shrimp, suddenly straightened his body. Before he could even think about why the pressure on him had suddenly disappeared, he threw out dozens of throwing knives that he had been holding in his hand, aiming directly at Xiao Yan, who had his back to him.

The eyes, shoulders, throat, heart, knees, and lower abdomen—the dozens of cold lights attacked from different locations, each targeting a vital spot.

As Zhao Wuji spoke, he completely dispelled the gravity suppression on the playground, baring his teeth. But it was too late to reapply the gravity suppression.

Ding, ding, ding, ding...

As Zhao Wuji charged toward the two, a series of metallic clanging sounds rang out.

Then came the sound of a throwing knife hitting the ground.

Zhao Wuji gradually stopped, silently watching Xiao Yan, who stood motionless in place.

'Was I really in such a sorry state because I didn't want to hurt Tang San?' Looking at Xiao Yan, Zhao Wuji silently wondered if his previous performance had been a bit too weak.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had also witnessed Zhao Wuji being utterly humiliated by Tang San's flying daggers, pursed her lips, looking equally incredulous.

'It's over...'

The only one who wasn't surprised was the rabbit, who was so frightened by Xiao Yan that she became somewhat withdrawn. However, after seeing the expression on Xiao Yan's face, the rabbit closed her eyes in despair—the expression on Xiao Yan's face at this moment was exactly the same as when he threatened her before!

"Twenty-one throwing knives," Xiao Yan's voice rang out in a chilling calm, "all used after Teacher Zhao lifted the gravity suppression. Is this your last resort?"

No traces were left on Xiao Yan's body where he was attacked by the flying knives; even the flying knives aimed at his eyes were deflected by his eyelids.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

The moment the flying knife was thrown, Tang San realized that Zhao Wuji had deactivated the effect of his soul skill. However, the fact that his trump card and the poison hadn't even left a single white mark on Xiao Yan made Tang San's eyes widen. "You used soul power!"

The next moment, a shameful line came out of Tang San's mouth.

With his eyes lowered, Xiao Yan silently watched Tang San struggling on the ground, unable to get up no matter what he did. "If that's what you think, then so be it."

Even Yu Xiaogang, who had just fallen flat on his face, could tell that Xiao Yan hadn't shown any fluctuations in soul power before. In other words, Xiao Yan had blocked these hidden weapons entirely with his body's toughness.

puff-

The sound of tearing cloth rang out, and eight blue pillar-like objects extended from behind Tang San. In the blink of an eye, the pillar-like objects had stretched to a length of about 1.5 meters. Then, at the joints at the tips, they popped out another 1.5 meters, revealing the sharp ends.

With the help of the spider legs extending from his back, Tang San finally stood up from the ground.

The sudden change drew everyone's attention to the spider legs behind Tang San. Yu Xiaogang frowned as he observed everything, noting down the expressions of surprise on the faces of everyone present.

As expected, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing, all three with powerful backgrounds, saw through the truth about the spider legs. The only thing that puzzled Yu Xiaogang was that Xiao Wu also seemed to have seen through the truth about the eight spider legs.

"The legs of the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, is that it?" After glancing at the spider legs behind Tang San, Xiao Yan commented, "Hmm, an external soul bone? No wonder your physical attributes improved a lot before. I thought it was the change brought about by absorbing the soul ring. Now it seems that it is this thing, right?"

'External soul bone?'

Oscar, who had never heard of the term before, exchanged a glance with Ma Hongjun and quietly approached Dai Mubai.

"These are special soul bones in addition to the six main soul bones," Dai Mubai explained quietly to Tang San and Xiao Yan, who were facing off, "their rarity is second only to a 100,000-year soul ring."

'Even more so, external soul bones are countless times more precious than soul bones that are 100,000 years old…'

After all, a 100,000-year-old soul bone can be passed down indefinitely, while an external soul bone, once fully fused, cannot be separated and is a precious treasure belonging exclusively to a single soul master.

Without any warning, purple battle qi surged out of Xiao Yan's body, instantly igniting the polluted air around him.

The air burned silently, and a foul, fishy stench spread.

"...You really enjoy playing these kinds of tricks?"

With a slight twitch of his nostrils, in the final moments before the poisonous gas was completely burned away, Xiao Yan deduced that the toxin had both paralyzing and corrosive effects; its power was not strong, but it was disgusting enough.

"This is the power of my martial soul, why can't I use it?"

Although the poison did not have the desired effect, Tang San remained calm and simply stared at Xiao Yan.

That's shameless! They had already lost, yet they still tried to launch a sneak attack. When that failed, they even used their soul power first and secretly used poison...

The Shrek Academy students' gazes towards Tang San completely changed.

At this moment, perhaps only Yu Xiaogang and the rabbit that was too scared to talk to Xiao Yan believe that Tang San was completely right.

"call……"

Xiao Yan let out a long breath, "In three seconds, my fist will smash into your spine."

Unaffected by gravity, Tang San felt his legs move lightly, and a disdainful expression appeared on his face—

A muffled thud came from Tang San's spine. With a powerful burst of energy, Tang San staggered forward two steps. After regaining his footing, he realized that Xiao Yan was already behind him, and that the eight spider legs on his back—

It shattered completely, turning into countless fragments.

"Three seconds later, right wrist."

click -

Although Tang San was trying his best to sense Xiao Yan's location and kept changing his own position, his right wrist broke at the moment the third second arrived.

"Three seconds later, left wrist."

"Wait, Yan Xiao, you're all classmates, don't be too rough!"

Finally realizing what was happening, Zhao Wuji casually shouted. He figured that if he didn't shout something now, "Haotian Douluo" would be knocking on his door again that night. At least he could say a few words tonight.

As for whether Haotian Douluo will go to find Xiao Yan—

What a joke! A Title Douluo is causing trouble for a Soul Master just to protect his disgraceful son. Does this Title Douluo have no shame?

Under Zhao Wuji's perfunctory shout, Xiao Yan silently steadied himself:

"Tang San, you should thank Teacher Zhao. Otherwise, after twenty-one punches, neither your father nor your mother would be able to see you again until after they are dead."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who was being controlled by him and couldn't utter a single word.

"Alright, one last punch. After that, I can take a month-long vacation."
