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

Are you sure he's not a student in your college?

After Huo Hao told the other four principals about Xiao Yan's martial soul and soul power level, Shui Yun, the principal of Tianshui Academy, couldn't help but ask, "Flame martial soul, level 30, and you personally came to persuade us to agree to let him participate... Is he really not a student of your academy?"

Although they asked this question, both the principals of Shenfeng Academy and Leiting Academy, including her, agreed. After all, a Soul Master in his thirties couldn't win forever. Even if they achieved a sixteen-game winning streak, what they lost wasn't anything particularly valuable. What they should really be worried about was—

The group's gazes turned to Huyan Zhen, who was lost in thought.

'Xiao Yan? Flame Martial Soul? I feel like I've heard that name and that Martial Soul somewhere before…'

Hu Yanzhen, the principal of Elephant Armor Academy, was slightly distracted, but after realizing that everyone's eyes were on him, he quickly came back to his senses and then snorted coldly:

"Are you sure you want to let someone of unknown origin join this Five Elements Academy exchange meeting?"

"What? Are you worried that your subordinate Huyan Luo can't stop his winning streak?" Huo Hao said with a mocking smile.

"Tsk..." Hu Yanzhen knew that his decision to have Hu Yanluo perform yesterday had been somewhat disliked, so he clicked his tongue slightly and said, "Alright, then I'll have Hu Yanluo perform sixteenth this time, is that alright?"

"what ever."

Huo Hao rolled his eyes. He only let Xiao Yan participate because he was somewhat concerned about the Flame Martial Soul and the mysterious "Xiao Ding". Whether Xiao Yan could achieve a sixteen-game winning streak was not his concern. According to his calculations, even if the other academies gave Huo Hao face and sent out some Soul Masters who had just obtained their third Soul Ring, Xiao Yan could only achieve a five or six-game winning streak at most. Then he would just give him the items.

'Trading a mineral of unknown value for a favor from a Soul Douluo capable of defeating a 90,000-year-old Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent is a sure win!'

Huo Hao thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.

·

And so, after all five principals voted in favor, Xiao Yan stepped onto the arena.

Because the host had been called away, everyone was completely bewildered by Xiao Yan's sudden appearance on the stage.

"Huh? Who is he? Is he a student from your Blazing Fire Academy?" A student from Thunder Academy patted the shoulder of a student from the neighboring Blazing Fire Academy.

"Can't you take a closer look at his clothes before you speak?" The student rolled his eyes and tugged at his gold and red school uniform. "Can't you even see such an obvious color?"

"You mean he's from Shenfeng Academy?" The students from Leiting Academy suddenly realized, looking at Xiao Yan's blue clothes.

"No, do you really think that his clothes are the uniform of Kamikaze Academy?"

"Then tell me, which college is he from?!"

"How should I know? Couldn't you have waited for the host to come on stage and introduce it?!"

Both students were furious and started fighting for no apparent reason.

Aside from these two oddballs, the other students were also discussing the matter, some of them wondering what was going on with the boy who wasn't wearing the uniforms of the five colleges.

"Hello everyone, I am Huo Hao, the principal of Blazing Fire Academy. You should all know me."

However, Huo Hao, who appeared as the host, quickly resolved everyone's questions.

"His name is Xiao Yan, he is ten years old, and his soul power level is thirty-two. In order to test his strength, we specially invited him to participate in the Five Elements Academy's exchange meeting today. He can be considered as our Blazing Fire Academy's external aid!"

"Now, please have Thunder Academy send one student to the stage!"

"Um, Captain, who should go?"

In the Thunder Academy team, a student's lips twitched, and he looked helplessly at Thunder Academy's chief student, Yu Tianxin.

Although everyone was surprised that Xiao Yan was only ten years old and at level thirty-two, none of the Soul Masters who came from Thunder Academy this time were below level thirty-two!

"Lei Jie, you go." After a moment's hesitation, Yu Tianxin selected someone.

"Ah."

Lei Jie, at level 35, nodded. Although he felt it wasn't right for an 18-year-old level 35 to bully a 10-year-old, he still faithfully carried out Yu Tianxin's orders.

However, Lei Jie was too confident. Less than ten seconds after Huo Hao announced the start of the match, the 18-year-old, level 35 Lei Jie was sent off the field by Huo Hao.

It was completely frozen in place.

'Wow, the soul skill provided by the Ice Flame Wolf can actually be cast instantly?'

Huo Hao was somewhat prepared for Lei Jie being frozen, but the only surprise was that this soul skill could be cast instantly, even with an interval of more than ten meters.

"Now, please welcome the challenger from Tianshui Academy!"

However, as a "professional" host, Huo Hao very professionally turned his attention to the Tianshui College team.

Chapter 79 Twelve Consecutive Wins

"Sis, he's only ten years old, and he's already a level thirty-two Soul Master!"

In the Tianshui Academy team, a girl with short dark green hair looked at a girl with long light blue hair in the team with some surprise when Huo Hao announced Xiao Yan's age and soul power level.

“Ten years old, level thirty-two… He is indeed a genius in cultivation,” the girl with long, light blue hair nodded. “I just don’t know if his talent in actual combat can match his talent in cultivation.”

"We'll see soon," the girl with short, dark green hair said, looking in the direction of Thunder Academy. "The one going up is Lei Jie. He should be able to win, right?"

Lei Jie, 18 years old and level 35, easily defeated a Soul Master of the same level from Shenfeng Academy on the first day of the exchange meeting, and defeated the second contestant before running out of Soul Power. It can be basically confirmed that he will be a contestant in the next Soul Master Tournament.

"With a three-level difference in soul power, Lei Jie has no chance of losing..."

Before the black-haired girl could finish speaking, Lei Jie on the arena was already frozen in ice.

“Flame? Ice? His third soul skill should have been provided by the Ice Flame Wolf,” Shui Bing’er, the captain of the Tianshui Academy delegation to the exchange meeting, quickly realized. “Moreover, he has a very high level of proficiency with this soul skill, and can almost cast it instantly.”

"Now, please welcome the challenger from Tianshui Academy!"

Shui Bing'er had just finished analyzing Xiao Yan's "third soul skill" when Huo Hao, who was acting as the host on the arena, turned his attention to their positions.

"Sister, who should go?" Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er's half-sister with short, dark green hair, looked at her with bright eyes.

"Seventh Sister, why are you being so infatuated? I remember you said you liked the imposing type of guy," a red-haired girl with an oval face teased.

"He's only ten years old now, how do you know he won't grow up to be a mighty and handsome man?" Shui Yue'er raised her head and snorted softly.

"Alright, stop fooling around," Shui Bing'er smiled helplessly. "Yue'er, you go ahead. Be careful to avoid his third soul skill as soon as possible, and try not to get too close to his body afterwards."

After a moment's thought, Shui Bing'er decided on the player to go on stage: Shui Yue'er, a level 33 agility-type Soul Master.

"okay!"

After receiving the order, Shuiyue'er excitedly ran towards the arena.

"Can Seventh Sister win?" The red-haired girl looked at Shui Bing'er and asked the question that everyone was concerned about.

"We definitely can't win. The only thing we need to pay attention to is whether Yue'er can trick Xiao Yan out of his other two soul skills," Shui Bing'er said softly.

·

"Even Lei Jie, a level 35 Soul Master, lost. How come your Tianshui Academy sent a level 33 Soul Master to fight?"

The dean of Shenfeng Academy looked at Shuiyun strangely. After a day of intense battles, the deans of various academies had basically identified all the potential opponents for the next Soul Master Competition. Shuiyue'er, a level 33 agility-type Soul Master, was naturally also on the list of Tianshui Academy.

"The soul skill provided by the Ice Flame Wolf was indeed unexpected, but the reason Lei Jie lost was more because he was too careless," the dean of Thunder Academy shook his head. "Without knowing Xiao Yan's other two soul skills, the best option is naturally to arrange for a similarly leveled agility-type soul master to test him."

“Bing’er’s first soul skill is an instantaneous ice seal, which Yue’er and the others have experienced. Even though Xiao Yan’s third soul skill is almost instantaneous, Yue’er can still dodge it.” Shui Yun nodded. “The most crucial thing is…”

"You're not really planning to send a high-level person to defeat him, are you?" Shui Yun looked at the dean of Shenfeng Academy with a strange expression, who seemed to want to send a core candidate to defeat Xiao Yan.

"Uh, I was just asking casually."

The dean of Shenfeng Academy coughed awkwardly and said that it wasn't that he really lacked emotional intelligence, but he was a little angry when he thought about the soul power level of the genius in his academy who was born with full soul power. Twenty-three years old and forty-one levels. If this were to get out, who would believe that this was born with full soul power?

The frustrated dean of Kamikaze Academy turned his gaze to the arena—

Just as Shuiyun had predicted, Shuiyue'er, who was familiar with instant-cast ice-sealing soul skills, easily avoided Xiao Yan's third soul skill.

"Little brother, your third soul skill comes from the Ice Flame Wolf, right?"

The moment Huo Hao announced the start of the match, Shui Yue'er, who had left her spot, glanced at the purple flames burning where she had stood, patted her chest, and looked shaken. "If it weren't for the fact that I'm very familiar with this place—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shuiyue'er turned into a second ice sculpture.

'Don't you need to pause at all?'

Huo Hao expressed his shock at Xiao Yan's ability to use his third soul skill without interruption. Then, he sent Shui Yue'er, who still showed no signs of breaking out of the ice after more than ten seconds, off the stands.

"Now, please welcome the challenger from Kamikaze Academy!"

"That idiot!"

Down below the stage, after seeing Shui Yue'er's smug expression after dodging the first freeze, Shui Bing'er knew she was in trouble. She felt that she probably wouldn't be able to find out anything this time. The only thing she didn't expect was that Xiao Yan's third soul skill could be used multiple times in a short period of time.

On stage

'Looks like it worked?'

After seeing Shui Yue'er frozen in ice, Xiao Yan blinked, thinking with some uncertainty.

The freezing ability comes from the flames of the Ice Flame Wolf. In most cases, Xiao Yan only uses this ability when the flames are in direct contact with the opponent, or he uses his mental power to lock onto the opponent's location and directly throws the flames next to the opponent.

While both methods are currently foolproof, the first is too obvious, and someone who has been fooled once is unlikely to fall for it again. The second method seems somewhat cumbersome, and if Xiao Yan encounters someone with strong mental power in the future, he might not be able to use his mental power to lock on them. Therefore, when he saw the two burly men from Blazing Fire Academy whose martial souls were from Mars, he thought of a method that might work—

Use the tiny sparks produced when a flame burns as a medium for freezing.

This was the first attempt at this idea, and it seemed to have succeeded on the first try. However, because Shui Yue'er was too close to the flames before being frozen, Xiao Yan was unsure whether it was a genuine success or if he had subconsciously used his mental power to lock on again.

'This person doesn't need to use mental power to pinpoint their location...'

The challenger from Shenfeng Academy stepped onto the stage. His soul power level was around 34, and he was likely an agility-type soul master. He would be very lucky to be the first person to last about a minute.

·

After delivering a two-meter-tall ice block to the Elephant Armor Academy team, Huo Hao turned his gaze to the Thunder Academy team.

"Now, please welcome the challengers from Thunder Academy to the stage."

After he finished speaking, no one from Thunder Academy stepped forward for a long time. Huo Hao was not in a hurry. He glanced at Xiao Yan, whose face was "pale" and who was trying to recover his soul power, and then quietly waited for Thunder Academy to select the next student to go on stage.

The students from the other academies waited quietly for Thunder Academy to send out its fourth participant.

That's right. The fourth contestant to appear, Xiao Yan, has only been on stage for about half an hour. Apart from Lei Jie and Shui Yue'er who were careless and left the stage within a minute at the beginning, the other ten contestants have all lasted for quite a long time, gradually increasing from one minute to two minutes, then to three minutes, and finally to seven minutes for the last one.

While the fact that the average level of the students who appeared later was around level 37 also played a role, it was clear to everyone that the main reason was that Xiao Yan's soul power was consumed too much, and he used his soul skills much less frequently than at the beginning. If he had enough time to recover his soul power, perhaps the level 37 and 38 students who appeared later would still have lasted only about a minute.

"Should I go?"

Lei Dong, the vice-captain of Thunder Academy and a level 39 control-type battle spirit master, looked at Yu Tianxin and asked.

“But…no, I’ll go on stage.” Yu Tianxin, who was about to agree, suddenly changed her mind.

"Are you sure?"

After glancing at Xiao Yan, whose face was deathly pale on the arena, Lei Dong couldn't help but ask.
