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

'If we lose, all that refining fire will have been for nothing.'

Before going on stage, Huo Wushuang muttered to himself, with the help of the incredibly effective meditation method for fire attribute soul masters that Xiao Yan had taught them, and with all the members of their Blazing Fire Academy being Soul Masters, and Huo Wu, whose soul power was the highest, already at level 47, how could they possibly lose?

"Why is it you again?" Huo Wushuang was puzzled when he went up on stage and found that Tang San was still the team leader.

"Is there a problem?" Tang San asked coldly.

"We, Blazing Academy, all possess fire-attribute martial souls," Huo Wushuang sighed. Putting aside Tang San's character, he felt that Tang San's brain probably wasn't working very well. "You, a plant-type soul master, are you sure you want to go on stage, huh?"

Tang San remained indifferent to Huo Wushuang's well-intentioned reminder.

"Then let's fight." Huo Wu rolled her eyes; she had absolutely no liking for Tang San.

"That's the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Feng Xiaotian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in the stands.

On the arena, under the radiant protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Shrek Academy students seemed completely immune to fire, practically dominating the Blazing Fire Academy students.

"Probably..." Lin Dong hesitated. He always felt that the martial soul in Ning Rongrong's hand... seemed to have the aura of the Five Elements Yin Yang Pill?

*

"Sect Master Ning..." Emperor Xueye looked at Ning Fengzhi.

“Your Majesty Bilin has two Martial Soul Pills in total. Apart from the one that His Highness the Crown Prince won, one was given to my daughter as a gift,” Ning Fengzhi explained with a slight smile, “as Xiao Yan’s betrothal gift.”

"bride price?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Then, I congratulate Sect Leader Ning on gaining a worthy son-in-law!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

With the help of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which has evolved and gained five attribute bonuses as well as high resistance, Shrek Academy played extremely easily in this competition. Although their soul power consumption was a bit high, that was all.

As for Blazing Fire Academy, although they were very unwilling to lose, Shui Bing'er always felt that the expressions they gave Tianshui Academy seemed to be... pity?

'That Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda...it won't have any protection against water or ice attributes, will it?' Shui Bing'er's expression was somewhat uncertain.

A day later, Shrek Academy faced its twelfth opponent.

Similarly, the twelfth day of the competition is also highly valued by all the spectators and all the contestants. After all, the competition between the only two Soul Master Academies in the Tiandou Division with Soul King-level students is on this day!

Canghui Academy vs. Shrek Academy!

With less than half an hour to go before the start of the match, the teams from various academies were waiting in the rest area. The Five Elements Academy, which was very familiar with Shrek Academy, surrounded Shrek Academy, led by Xiao Yan, just like on the first day. This time, the third match would be their turn to take the stage.

"Wow, Xiao Yan is going too far! Yesterday was supposed to be a match against us, but you didn't even come to watch!" Huo Wushuang looked at Xiao Yan with resentment.

"After all, we have to follow the rules and not watch Lin Dong's match," Xiao Yan said with a smile, not taking Huo Wushuang's resentment to heart.

"Follow the rules?" Shui Yue'er blinked, then moved closer to Xiao Yan under Ning Rongrong's fierce gaze. "Are you planning to compete fairly with Lin Dong?"

Shrek Academy had the most Soul Masters, so Xiao Yan only appeared once and didn't even make a move. As for Canghui Academy... apart from Lin Dong, Canghui Academy's overall strength was not strong, at least far inferior to the six academies present, so Lin Dong appeared almost every time.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's statement, "Follow the rules and don't watch Lin Dong's match," naturally made everyone feel that Xiao Yan was not prepared to learn about Lin Dong's abilities and wanted to ensure a fair competition when the two academies faced off.

"Yes, Lin Dong and I will have a fair competition," Xiao Yan raised his face and revealed a bright smile, "The two of us will let everyone witness a true duel between geniuses!"

Looking at the smiling Xiao Yan, everyone was momentarily stunned. Even Tang San, who wished Xiao Yan would die immediately, had to admit one thing—

Xiao Yan's talent is not something Tang San can easily imitate. Even if Xiao Yan hadn't taken the Soul Master Pill, and even if Tang San hadn't practiced hidden weapons, Tang San's soul power level still couldn't match Xiao Yan's at the same age, not to mention that the Soul Master Pill was invented by Xiao Yan...

'However, now is the only time. Once I find the materials to craft the top three types of hidden weapons…'

A fierce glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he watched Xiao Yan chatting with acquaintances from the Five Elements Academy.

Without a long wait, with the first two rounds over, the teams participating in the third round should have entered the arena.

The passage, which should have housed two teams of fourteen people, only saw Xiao Yan and Lin Dong slowly emerge.

After a brief silence, the audience erupted in cheers. They had come here today to witness the battle between the two genius students. Although it was fine to bring their own teammates, what they really wanted to see was the battle between the two of them!

"A real one-on-one battle between men, huh?"

On their way out, the two ran into a group from Blazing Fire Academy returning from their victory. Upon seeing them, Huo Wushuang was visibly taken aback, then exclaimed, "That's great! If I were a Soul King, I'd definitely want to fight both of you one-on-one..."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Let's get going!" Huo Wu kicked her older brother in the butt in annoyance, then looked at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, "I hope you two can show us something different!"

“Of course,” Xiao Yan smiled, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as he looked at Lin Dong, “both Lin Dong and I have been preparing for this battle for a long time.”

“That’s right,” Lin Dong smiled somewhat shyly, but the fighting spirit on his face was no less than Xiao Yan’s. “Perfect, we both have one aspect that can overpower the other, this battle will be very exciting!”

Xiao Yan, a Great Dou Master of the First Rank, and a Nine-Seal Heavenly Talisman Master.

Lin Dong, a Yuan Dan Realm Great Perfection cultivator, and a Three-Seal Heavenly Talisman Master.

In terms of "soul power," Lin Dong is definitely superior to Xiao Yan; in terms of mental power, Xiao Yan is definitely superior to Lin Dong. Excluding those ancient beings whose levels far exceed theirs, the other party will be the two of them the strongest opponents on this continent.

Similarly, they are also the best of friends!

"Uh...you two, this is team spirit..."

Even though the entire audience cheered and even the VIPs didn't give any orders to stop it, as the host, he still had to remind them.

“The two of us represent our respective academies…” Xiao Yan grinned, raised his right hand, and held the Xuanzhong Ruler, which was more than two meters long and weighed more than 10,000 kilograms, in his hand.

“If he loses, his academy loses,” Lin Dong said with a smile, a strange ancient vortex rune appearing around him. “If I lose, my academy loses…”

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?" x2

As soon as they finished speaking, five spirit rings appeared on each of them. They were all identical, with one yellow and four black rings, a configuration that could easily surpass the "best spirit ring combination".

"Of course, no problem..."

Although he was a Soul Emperor, the host felt that under the pressure of the two, he was like a fragile ant. He wasn't blown away by their soul power only because the two of them needed him to announce the start of the competition.

"The match begins!"

After uttering those four words with trembling hands, the host could no longer hold on. As his martial spirit possessed him, he hurriedly withdrew from the arena, even tripping and falling hard due to his weak legs.

However, at this moment, no one paid attention to the host's disgraceful behavior; they were all staring blankly at the two people facing off on the ring.

Of course, the main reason is their spirit rings.

Chapter 110 Lin Dong VS Xiao Yan

"Sister, am I seeing things? Xiao Yan's spirit rings..."

Huo Wushuang swallowed hard. When he returned to the player rest area from the player passage, he wondered if he was seeing things.

"One yellow and four black..." Huo Wu was somewhat confused. "Are they really human soul rings?"

Like the Huo siblings, the leaders of the Five Elements Academy were filled with disbelief. They felt that the five spirit rings on Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were about to trample their common sense into the ground.

"This giant ruler..." Tang San's gaze lingered on the giant ruler in Xiao Yan's hand, "Is it Xiao Yan's second spirit?"

"No, the Xuanzhong Ruler, this is the martial soul that Xiao Yan registered directly on his Soul Master certificate when he awakened his martial soul."

Ning Rongrong shook her head. Ever since she learned Xiao Yan's real name, she had secretly learned about Xiao Yan's "life story". Among them were records of when Xiao Yan's martial soul awakened and the name of his martial soul on his soul master certificate.

"But, didn't Xiao Yan also attach a spirit ring to that flame spirit?"

Tang San's lips twitched slightly. He could hardly contain his laughter. He had once worried that Xiao Yan, who also possessed twin martial souls, was stronger than him now and would definitely be stronger in the future. However, Xiao Yan's future was already over, as he had already added spirit rings to both of his martial souls!

The future belongs to Tang San!

"Flames? Ah, uh, it seems so..."

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that Xiao Yan's "external" martial soul was flame. If she hadn't asked him before, she might have had the same reaction as Tang San.

*

Looking at the two imposing figures on the arena, Emperor Xueye let out a deep breath: "Sect Master Ning, if I'm not mistaken, the soul rings on Xiao Yan and Lin Dong... seem to be four black and one yellow?"

The best spirit ring configuration, which has been circulating in the spirit master world for who knows how long, is two yellow, two purple, and five black. Even if the ninth spirit ring is red, a spirit master can only have a maximum of four black spirit rings.

The two people on the stage were only Soul Kings, yet they already had four black Soul Rings!

Moreover, Xiao Yan's fourth spirit ring... if he wasn't mistaken, there was a clear red tinge on that black spirit ring! According to records, this kind of spirit ring only appears on spirit beasts that are nearly 100,000 years old!

Ning Fengzhi remained silent.

With his keen eye, he could naturally see the special nature of Xiao Yan's fourth spirit ring. This kind of spirit ring, which is infinitely close to 100,000 years old, is something that even the two guardian Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School do not possess!

As for the explanation...

How is he supposed to explain this?

How should he explain this?

If only Xiao Yan was like this, he could say it was because Xiao Yan had started cultivating his second martial soul!

Why cultivate now? Because if you don't cultivate now, you might experience a body explosion later on, just like the previous twin martial souls!

Why is the first spirit ring of the second spirit soul yellow? Because this minimizes the burden brought by the spirit ring, allowing all subsequent spirit rings to absorb for ten thousand years!

When Xiao Yan developed an unusual spirit ring, Ning Fengzhi had already come up with an explanation, since Xiao Yan was known to have twin martial souls. However, when he saw the same spirit ring on Lin Dong, Ning Fengzhi immediately gave up trying to figure it out.

'You're making a fuss over nothing...' Salas glanced at the two people beside him. Although he was also shocked and almost cried out, he held back and thought of the forbidden terms "divinely bestowed soul rings" and "divine trials" in the Spirit Hall's records.

'But is Lin Dong also a Divine Trial Cultivator?' Salas's gaze fell on Lin Dong, 'that strange Martial Soul…'

After a brief moment of focus on Lin Dong, the gaze fell upon his "Martial Soul" and the ancient vortex talisman.

*

'Is this his second spirit?' In a corner of the Heaven Dou Arena, the one-armed Haotian, draped in a black robe, looked on with a strange expression.

In his view, with a peerless Douluo as his backer... or rather, with Xiao Yan being targeted for possession by the peerless Douluo, he had no right to directly attach a spirit ring to his second spirit. However, Xiao Yan's second spirit actually had a spirit ring attached, and the first spirit ring of his second spirit was an absurdly high yellow, a hundred-year spirit ring—

'So, this is the secret to cultivating twin martial souls?' Tang Hao nodded silently, gradually understanding everything. 'As long as the first soul ring of the second martial soul absorbs a hundred-year soul ring, then it can absorb ten-thousand-year soul rings without any worries?'

Tang Hao was not mistaken. The giant ruler in Xiao Yan's hand was the martial soul that severed his right arm. And the fourth soul ring on that giant ruler was clearly from a 90,000-year-old soul beast, and it was a soul ring that was infinitely close to a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

"I'll take my mistress to hunt for the spirit rings needed for my second martial soul in a while," Tang Hao made up his mind.

*

"I'll go first."

After a long standoff, when both of their auras had reached their peak, Xiao Yan slowly spoke.

Xiao Yan slowly raised the Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand. In an instant, the pitch-black giant ruler was enveloped in deep purple flames, and the temperature of the fire ruler continued to rise.

'Flames divide and devour waves?'

On the other side, Lin Dong frowned slightly, then dismissed his guess. Although the temperature of the Xuan Heavy Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand was very high, it was far from the temperature when they joined forces to kill the Azure Flame Dragon Beast.
