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

Although the academy did not reveal the student's true identity, everyone knows that the student is cultivating a fire elemental martial soul, which is the first time in nearly a thousand years of records that a pure fire elemental martial soul has appeared!

With this student as its flagship, Shrek Academy has become incredibly famous in recent months. Tickets for the Heaven Dou Arena, which the student frequents, have been extremely difficult to obtain. There are even rumors that seats in the first row, which allow one to see the student up close, have been sold for as much as 10,000 gold soul coins and are still in short supply.

The second matter is a bit more trivial. A few years ago, a fallen soul master with the Xuanzhong Ruler martial soul, who was jointly wanted by the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall, proved his innocence in Heaven Dou City. On the day he proved his innocence, the Spirit Hall directly withdrew all the wanted notices for him and demanded that the Star Luo Empire give an explanation as to why they had oppressed a commoner soul master who was not yet an adult.

The third and final thing was only widely circulated among the nobles—a dwarf soul master set up a arena in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, claiming that whoever could defeat him would offer a "foreign soul bone" that only existed in legends!

According to insiders, the external soul bone is a hand soul bone, and it is a hand soul bone with an initial age of more than 30,000 years!

In no time, the dwarf soul master became famous. Unfortunately, no matter how much the nobles praised him, the soul master had only one request—to defeat him.

However, today, when Titan, the tyrant of Heaven Dou City, the patriarch of the Power Clan, the former lackey of the Clear Sky Sect, the shameless Soul Douluo, and the holder of the Mighty Ape Martial Soul, knelt before that dwarf Soul Master, everyone understood one thing—

Unless a Title Douluo is shameless enough to directly intervene, no one can take that external soul bone from the hands of that dwarf Soul King whose appearance has never been seen.

"Because your son lost to me in a fair fight and has some scratches, you're going to go on stage too?" The Dwarf Soul King's voice wasn't loud, but all the audience members heard him.

"No problem, I don't mind."

The Dwarf Soul King placed his hand on Titan's kneeling shoulder. Although his tiptoeing posture was somewhat comical, everyone present knew his combat strength—not to mention that there was a Soul Douluo kneeling in front of him—so no one laughed out loud.

"Now that you're kneeling before me, where's your father? Hmm?"

Hearing the mocking words of the person in front of him, Titan kept his mouth shut and remained silent.

"A boring piece of trash, a brainless traitor, no wonder he's a good dog under Haotian Douluo."

Xiao Yan, who was disguised perfectly, sneered. He could only say that this dog was unlucky. When he defeated Tai Nuo yesterday, he happened to hear the conversation between the one-armed Haotian and Titan. One of the sentences was "Just kill him and take his storage soul ring".

Titan agreed quickly, not even minding the part-armed Haotian's later words, "I will show up and take away the storage soul tool. Just pretend you know me, but dare not speak out against me."

If Titan hadn't added, "Wouldn't that make others mistake them for Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall?", Xiao Yan might not have been able to guess what the master and servant were up to.

While Xiao Yan was somewhat lost in thought, Titan suddenly burst into tears—

He hated it. He hated why he was so weak. He couldn't even complete his master's mission. Even when the enemy insulted his master in front of him, he didn't have the strength to refute them and could only let the enemy insult him.

"Heh, you're actually crying? Are you really going to call me dad?" Xiao Yan sneered disdainfully. "Get lost, you piece of trash!"

With a sudden burst of force, he crushed Titan's right shoulder, which was covered in tears.

VIP Room

"You crushed Titan's shoulder without using soul power..." Ning Fengzhi, dressed in white robes, put down his white porcelain cup. "Uncle Gu, can you do that?"

His gaze shifted and landed on the withered old man sitting next to him, who was carefully sipping his tea.

The old man's body was shockingly large, his skin was withered, and his eye sockets were sunken, making him look like a huge skeleton. The originally spacious sofa seemed much smaller when he sat on it.

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the old man put down his teacup, turned to look at him, and a helpless smile appeared on his somewhat ugly face: "Fengzhi, I'm just a defensive-type Soul Master..."

“But you are a Title Douluo, and the most enigmatic one among Title Douluos is Bone Douluo.” Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly and said a few words to make Bone Douluo happy.

"If it's just about crushing the old gorilla's shoulder, let alone me, even that old poisoner Dugu Bo could do it."

Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, whose title is Bilin, calls himself the Poison Douluo. He is the weakest of all the titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent. Moreover, he is also the one with the weakest physical constitution among all the titled Douluo, despite being famous for his poison.

However, regardless of anything else, Dugu Bo is a Title Douluo. In other words, in terms of physical attributes alone, the Soul King who left the arena amidst the host's congratulations is already at the Title Douluo level.

"However, without using soul power to crush the old gorilla's shoulder, the only thing that can be done to completely shatter all the meridians in the old gorilla's right arm is perhaps the old poison." Bone Douluo laughed gleefully.

"So, that person used poison?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"You'll understand this when that old gorilla comes begging to you." Bone Douluo, who was completely unfamiliar with 'poison', shook his head.

"and--"

Sect Leader Ning, please come out for a chat.

Before Bone Douluo could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly entered the room.

“It’s Tang Hao.” Ning Fengzhi nodded as Bone Douluo looked at him. “Shall we go out and see him?”

"Alright, it's just a bit of a shame that I can't watch the little princess's match."

Bone Douluo shook his head helplessly and slowly stood up.

Although there is a saying that the three upper sects are closely connected, Ning Fengzhi would not be in the mood to meet Tang Hao, who was a traitor to the Clear Sky Sect and destroyed the private alliance between the three upper sects more than ten years ago, without the company of Bone Douluo or Sword Douluo.

The Heaven Dou Arena, Shrek Academy's Exclusive Rest Room

"Rock Owl, you've finally arrived!"

As soon as Xiao Yan pushed open the door, he saw a large, long face looming over him.

Do you know who your next opponent is?

"Huh? Oh, Dean, you mean single-player Soul Battle?"

Although he had already shed his disguise, Xiao Yan was still not quite ready to recover from his identity as the Soul King who had wreaked havoc on the battlefield. After all, he had just defeated a Soul Douluo in the previous match, and now people were worried about whether he could defeat a Soul Master...

This sense of disconnect is still quite strong.

"Who else could it be?"

Xiao Yan's somewhat dazed reaction gave Flander a headache. If he had known that the meeting would be so torturous, he would never have agreed to Yu Xiaogang's request to make Xiao Yan, who possessed twin martial souls, the face of Shrek Academy!

As the third person with twin martial souls in a hundred years, and the third person with exceptional talent, shouldn't he have cultivated to the point of being invincible, then come out to prove his identity, and then announce that his success came from the teachings of Shrek Academy?

"Now you're sending Yan Xiao to deal with those decadent nobles? Xiao Gang, what are you thinking?!" Flander, the Soul Saint who had handed over all the teaching duties to Yu Xiaogang, a level 29 Great Soul Master, was in a real bind.

"How about I just abstain for you?"

Although he was heartbroken about the money he had just bet, Flander's words came out because Xiao Yan looked pale (his fighting spirit hadn't recovered) and dazed (he had tried to use his mental power to upgrade the level of his beast fire and suffered a backlash). "We didn't sign any agreement with the Great Soul Arena that we had to participate. If you really can't take it, we'll just forfeit."

“Yes, Yan Xiao, you look really worrying.” Ning Rongrong stepped forward, her face showing concern.

“It’s just a battle of spirits, no one will look down on you because of this,” Oscar said, handing over a large sausage.

“That’s right,” Tang San nodded. “As for the team battle later, let Tai Long go on stage. It’ll be a good opportunity for him to get used to the rhythm of our team.”

Tailong, Titan's grandson, is a substitute in the Shrek Academy Soul Master Competition. He had a fight with Tang San because of Xiao Wu. It is said that Tainuo and even Titan made an appearance. However, in the end, Tailong became Tang San's little follower for some reason.

"Get some rest."

Zhu Zhuqing's face was icy cold, but this was not her fault. It seemed that the medicine was too strong. Even though her martial soul had surpassed the potential of the Yin Tiger, the medicinal power of the pill still hadn't dissipated. This made Zhu Zhuqing look cold and aloof for the past few months, as if someone owed her millions of gold soul coins.

“Exactly, your recent activities are giving me a headache.” Ma Hongjun nodded seriously.

"Stop messing around, it's just a Soul Battle," Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. The Qi-restoring pill he had swallowed earlier was already taking effect, and a warm current gradually flowed through his body. "Look at how panicked you all are. Is my next Soul Battle opponent that scary?"

As he spoke, he took the intelligence report that Zhu Zhuqing handed him—

Yu Tianheng, level 39, martial soul Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, 21 consecutive wins, undefeated to date.

Blinking, Xiao Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing, "The guy who beat you yesterday?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently. Although her martial soul was very powerful, the gap between level 33 and level 39 was still difficult to bridge. Of course, the most crucial factor was that she was still not used to her martial soul.

"This is a bit difficult..." Xiao Yan grinned, pretending to be in a dilemma.

Chapter 91 Conflicts and Disputes

five minutes later

After Xiao Yan walked off the arena with a relaxed expression, not only the members of Shrek Academy, but even the nobles who had initially made the bet, believing that this genius with twin martial souls would suffer his first major defeat, were completely bewildered.

Half a minute ago, the moment the host announced the start of the Soul Battle, Yu Tianheng, one of the twin stars of the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was frozen in ice.

More than twenty seconds passed before the host, who was completely stunned, finally announced Xiao Yan's victory after confirming that Yu Tianheng was truly unable to break free from the ice seal.

Everyone in the Great Soul Arena has witnessed the Ice Seal Soul Skill, and they all know that this Soul Skill comes from the Ice Flame Wolf. They even know that this Soul Skill requires contact with Xiao Yan's Martial Soul Flame to be frozen.

Knowing this, the nobles who believed that Xiao Yan, a weapon spirit master, would never dare to have any physical contact with Yu Tianheng, a beast spirit master, thought that Yu Tianheng was bound to win.

However, Yu Tianheng, whom they believed was certain to win, was actually... instantly killed?

"Instant-cast soul skills are awesome."

When Xiao Yan returned to the rest room, Ma Hongjun said something resentfully.

"Hey, isn't that obvious?" Xiao Yan raised his head. "Oh, right, Dean, after today's team battle, I'd like to ask for a leave of absence for a while."

"Okay, it's alright, you can go and rest. I'll talk to Xiaogang about it."

Flander, who had been worried that the publicity over the past few months might have put too much pressure on Xiao Yan, nodded decisively after hearing this.

"Let's rest for half a month, no, let's take a month. Don't worry too much about things at the academy!"

Suddenly remembering what Ning Rongrong had just said, Flanders wisely changed his half-month vacation to a month, wanting to take Xiao Yan to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"A month? Can it be extended a little?"

However, to Flander's surprise, upon hearing the vacation duration of "one month," Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all and immediately requested an extension of the vacation time.

"Huh? A month isn't enough?" Flander was startled and subconsciously looked in Ning Rongrong's direction.

“Yes, I’m going to Sunset Forest,” Xiao Yan nodded, not paying too much attention to Flander’s gaze. “Sunset Forest has more fire-attribute soul beasts than Star Dou Great Forest, and correspondingly, there are more medicinal herbs suitable for fire-attribute martial soul masters.”

"A month wouldn't be enough to explore all the places I can go in Sunset Forest."

While this is also the reason why a long vacation is needed, the more important reason is that the level of the fusion beast fire provided by the Ice Flame Wolf and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent is not enough. If we want to test a "Martial Soul Fusion Skill" with beast fire as the main body, we need to raise the level of the Ice Spirit Fire to at least the sixth level.

To upgrade an Ice Spirit Fire, which is a fusion of third- and fourth-tier beast fire, to the sixth tier, the variety of beast fires used for fusion and upgrade is absolutely indispensable. Moreover, Xiao Yan also needs some time to experiment with how to extract the essence of beast fire from soul beasts. Combining these two factors, Xiao Yan felt that it would take at least three months for him to barely explore and upgrade the beast fire.

"Medicinal herbs suitable for fire-attribute martial soul masters?" Upon hearing this, Flander's eyes lit up. "Are there any suitable for Hong Jun?"

Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is very strong, but the problem lies in the fact that the "evil fire" is too strong. This makes it difficult for Ma Hongjun to concentrate on his cultivation, and his figure is going down the wrong path.

If only there were a way to solve the problem of evil fire, both Ma Hongjun and Flander would think this from time to time.

"...It depends on what kind of medicinal herbs you want."

Meeting Ma Hongjun's hopeful gaze, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, "Simply strengthening the Evil Fire... I doubt there are any, but purifying Little Fatty's flames, or rather, purifying Little Fatty's martial soul, turning the Evil Fire Phoenix into a real phoenix... I doubt there are many."

"Anything that purifies the martial soul will do, anything that purifies the martial soul will do!" Flander was overjoyed.

"If a month's vacation isn't enough, how about two months, no, three months? Is three months enough?" It was clear that Flander was overly excited. "Six months would also be fine... Ah, no, the maximum is five months. Six months would exceed the submission deadline for the Soul Master Competition roster."

Overjoyed, Flander almost granted himself a six-month vacation, but at the last minute he remembered something else important.

"Three months should be enough," Xiao Yan nodded.

Afterwards, before Ning Rongrong could even book Xiao Yan's vacation time, their team battle began. Their opponent was a team from an unfamiliar advanced soul master academy, which was preparing for the soul master competition six months later.

As the Shrek Academy students stepped onto the arena, Ning Fengzhi, accompanied by Bone Douluo, encountered two "disabled people" in a private room of a small tavern outside the Great Soul Arena.
