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

"Although it's not perfect yet..." Xiao Yan smiled, "it's still a very useful move... Triple Wave!"

The giant ruler swung down suddenly, and flames in the shape of giant waves surged towards Lin Dong.

"Xiao Yan, aren't you underestimating me a little?" Lin Dong looked at the giant wave rushing towards him, exhaled, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

The giant wave was ferocious. If it were an ordinary Soul King, or even a Soul Emperor, it might have been killed by this move. However, for Lin Dong, such a "dispersed" attack was somewhat weak. Even without using the Ancient Vortex Seal, he could directly defeat it.

His hands moved in a series of hand seals, and as these seals changed, dark golden Yuan energy surged out of Lin Dong's body like a tide, finally condensing rapidly in his palms.

Qimen Seal, Fourth Layer!

When Lin Dong finished his final hand seal, the dark golden Yuan energy condensed in his hand into a dark golden light seal several feet in size. At this moment, the giant wave of flames had already arrived in front of Lin Dong.

call out!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Dong's arm trembled, and the light seal flew directly from his palm, leaving a dazzling dark golden tail as it slammed into the giant wave.

boom!

The dark golden light seal slammed into the giant wave, and an extremely violent energy wave swept out like a storm, cracking several fissures in the granite arena.

'Something's not right. This giant wave wasn't directly destroyed?'

Lin Dong frowned. This Qimen Seal was the strongest thing he had besides his spiritual power. It was a move that could directly contend with a fifth-grade martial art. Judging from the energy fluctuations, the giant wave that Xiao Yan unleashed was at most a fourth-grade martial art.

Lin Dong's gaze unconsciously fell on Xiao Yan's face. After feeling Lin Dong's gaze, Xiao Yan raised his head and smiled at Lin Dong.

Seeing the smile on Xiao Yan's face, Lin Dong secretly thought something was wrong.

boom!

Just as Lin Dong had predicted, another loud bang erupted from the giant wave of flames. With this bang, the dark golden light seal that Lin Dong had thrown out exploded. Then, the giant wave of flames continued to rush towards Lin Dong with unstoppable momentum.

Facing the massive wave of flames that was within arm's reach, Lin Dong remained calm. He changed his hand seals, and from the crackling and exploding light seals, countless spiritual threads shot out. These threads intertwined, restricting the speed of the massive wave of flames, and in a very short time, they condensed into a profound rune array in front of Lin Dong.

"Transformation Rune Array, Transformation into Azure Waves!"

As Lin Dong poured his spiritual power into the array, the sound of flowing water was heard. Then, spiritual power that seemed to be tangible suddenly surged out and transformed into a huge, tangible wave that collided with the wave of fire.

As the giant waves surged, Lin Dong's eyes flashed, and a mental wave, carrying an astonishingly powerful roar, extinguished the fiery wave. Immediately afterward, this mental wave, with its ferocious momentum, rushed towards Xiao Yan.

"You're really serious about using your mental power right from the start, Lin Dong."

Xiao Yan grinned, handed the Xuan Heavy Ruler to his left hand, squatted down, clenched his right fist, and after a moment of gathering strength, threw a punch.

With boundless shockwaves, Xiao Yan's punch actually pierced through the giant mental wave!

As the mental wave dissipated, the mental rune array in front of Lin Dong was also affected. After a tremor, it gradually faded until it completely disappeared.

"Your punch was really ruthless." Lin Dong's lips twitched slightly. If this punch hadn't pierced through the mental wave and been annihilated by Xiao Yan himself, he had no doubt that this punch could have replaced the roof of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

"Isn't your Transformation Azure Wave the same?" Xiao Yan laughed. "My Triple Wave clearly had a third burst, but it was directly swallowed up by your Transformation Azure Wave. Normally, shouldn't this third burst be allowed to see the world?"

Triple Waves is a new fighting technique that Xiao Yan devised himself based on the characteristics of Eight Extremes Collapse and Flame Dividing Wave Ruler. In his mind, it should have an explosion of eight, ten, or even a hundred layers.

However, Xiao Yan felt that he had underestimated the difficulty of combining these two fighting techniques. He had gradually reduced the power of the first level over the past six months, but so far he had only managed to achieve the third level of power. And this time, he had only managed to achieve the first and second levels.

"Anyway, shall we continue?" With a slight thought, Lin Dong summoned his own Darkness, Space, Flame, Ice, and Thunder Spirit Talismans, allowing them to 'wrap' around his arm, and then asked.

"Of course!"

Switching the Xuan Heavy Ruler back to his right hand, a flash of deep purple flame flickered in Xiao Yan's dark eyes. "Let's continue!"

With a breath of turbid air, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly transformed into a black shadow, charging fiercely towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong grinned, releasing his Yuan energy to envelop his fist, and stepped forward to meet the attack, unleashing a full-force strike.

The moment their figures intertwined, a loud explosion rang out as Lin Dong's fist slammed into the Xuan Heavy Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand.

"Not bad."

"the same as you."

They exchanged a smile, and then their figures disappeared again.

boom! boom! boom!

The two figures flashed by at incredible speed, colliding at different points. Powerful gusts of wind surged up and spread throughout the arena, and cracks continued to widen on the granite arena.

This fighting style stunned everyone; it was rugged, wild, and full of power, making viewers' blood boil.

"That kind of hand-to-hand combat... Yu Tianxin, how many seconds did you last?" Feng Xiaotian's lips twitched as he turned his gaze to Yu Tianxin.

"Uh... six seconds?" Although only one of Yu Tianxin's arms had transformed into dragons during the hand-to-hand combat, and now both of his arms had transformed into dragons, Yu Tianxin felt that even if all four of his limbs had transformed into dragons, he could only last for a maximum of ten seconds in such a violent hand-to-hand combat.

"Brother Luo did manage to hold out for more than ten seconds," Hu Yanli said with a dry laugh.

"And you?" Feng Xiaotian asked Huo Wushuang.

"I'm not a melee fighter," Huo Wushuang smirked. "Besides, isn't the important thing Xiao Yan's initial greeting gift?!"

Several team leaders unconsciously shifted their gazes away.

They were all familiar with Xiao Yan's initial "triple wave"—a soul power explosion.

Although it is unknown when Xiao Yan came up with this move, there is no doubt that none of them could withstand the second level of the burst, let alone completely suppress the third level of the burst.

"Can we replicate Xiao Yan's move?"

However, what Huo Wushuang said was not what they expected: "Can you handle this?"

"A replica?" Shui Bing'er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at her younger sister, "Yue'er, you go back now..."

"No! Impossible! It can't be done! Forget about it!"

Although they weren't twins, Shui Yue'er understood the moment Shui Bing'er turned her head that her older sister wanted to entrust her with the arduous task of replicating "Triple Waves".

"But your martial soul is a dolphin!"

"Don't even mention dolphins, even a demonic killer whale wouldn't work on it!"

Shuiyue'er resolutely resisted her sister setting impossible tasks for her!

While the Shui sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, were making a ruckus, the leaders of the other academies began to cast their gazes over the members of their own academy's team...

In the end, they regretfully discovered that, including themselves, it seemed that no one could replicate this move.

'That move... was it mental power?'

Unlike the leaders of the Five Elements Academy, Tang San stared intently at Lin Dong's figure.

'Damn it, why wasn't I the one who knew this move?!'

If it were me…

If it were me!

Tang San roared in his heart, condemning the unfair treatment from heaven. Xiao Yan was able to meet Qi Luo Tulip, and Lin Dong had the secret of materializing mental power into attacks, while he had nothing!

'Heavens, how unjust!'

Tang San roared inwardly.

Chapter 111 The Site of Collapse

From the moment Xiao Yan and Lin Dong started fighting on the arena, Salas's gaze remained fixed on their spirit rings. Although Xiao Yan was mentioned in the Angel God's Oracle as someone who would bring about great changes to the Spirit Hall, he had not yet joined the Spirit Hall. Therefore, it was still necessary to keep a close eye on Xiao Yan's spirit skills, report to the Pope, and have the Spirit Hall team prepare countermeasures.

After all, the champion of this Soul Master Competition is related to the ownership of the three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones.

Unfortunately, neither Xiao Yan's initial wave of fire, nor Lin Dong's dark golden light seal shattered by the fire wave, nor the giant wave of spiritual energy that Lin Dong manipulated to devour the fire wave, had their spirit rings flash when they were activated. It was as if...

"Self-created Soul Skill..."

A murmur came from beside Salas.

'Yes, it's as if these are all their own created soul skills.' Salas silently shifted his gaze, glancing at Emperor Xueye beside him.

"Sect Master Ning, it seems that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong used self-created soul skills before?" Emperor Xueye looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him.

“It seems so,” Ning Fengzhi nodded, “To have mastered his own soul skills at such a young age, and to be able to create such terrifyingly powerful soul skills based on them…”

Ning Fengzhi's gaze was fixed on Xiao Yan and Lin Dong below. With their current speed and strength, most of the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors present would probably be no match for them. This was only because Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were simply relying on their physical strength. If they used their soul power and soul skills, perhaps only Soul Emperors or even Soul Saints could defeat them.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi was extremely grateful that he had already befriended Xiao Yan.

"Lin Dong seems to be an orphan, right?" Emperor Xueye suddenly asked.

“Yes, according to the investigation over the past two days, Lin Dong grew up eating food from many families, and that village happens to be located in the fiefdom of a viscount of the empire,” Xue Xing hurriedly stepped forward upon hearing Xue Ye’s question, reporting the intelligence she had gathered over the past period.

"After learning about Lin Dong's talent, the viscount exempted the village from all taxes, and the viscount also arranged for him to enter the intermediate soul master academy. His journey to Canghui Academy was also related to the viscount."

All the information was gathered after Lin Dong revealed his Soul King realm, and Xue Xing arranged for people to investigate. The viscount mentioned in the intelligence was currently on his way to Tian Dou City.

"It seems Your Majesty is determined to acquire Lin Dong," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. "Then, I, Ning, would like to offer my congratulations to Your Majesty on your success in recruiting Lin Dong into your ranks."

'No wonder we couldn't find any record of Lin Dong's martial soul awakening,' Salas glanced at Xue Xing in the back row, 'it was all monopolized from the start...'

When Lin Dong first revealed his spirit rings, Salas also arranged for people to check Lin Dong's spirit awakening record, but they found nothing. It was as if Lin Dong had appeared out of thin air. They finally found the name of the person who might have awakened Lin Dong's spirit, but they discovered that this person had "died unexpectedly" a few years ago.

"That's not entirely true," Xue Ye said, waving her hand with a worried expression despite her wide grin after hearing Ning Fengzhi's compliment. "Without an introduction, even if an Imperial Viscount were to stand before Lin Dong, he might not necessarily get close to the Empire..."

"After today's competition, I will go to Xiao Yan and ask him to introduce Lin Dong to Your Majesty." At Emperor Xue Ye's prompting, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said the words that pleased him.

"Then I'll have to trouble Sect Master Ning," Emperor Xueye said with a smile. "However, you can just send Qinghe when the time comes."

"Perfect timing. Qinghe is spending time with Xueke right now, so we can have Xueke come along too."

'Power and lust, you truly are something else.' Salas slowly closed his eyes, almost tacitly acknowledging that Lin Dong would join the Heaven Dou Empire.

*

boom!

Xiao Yan's Xuan Heavy Ruler and Lin Dong's "fist" collided once again, and an invisible force spread rapidly outwards from them.

Their clothes fluttered in the strong wind, and both of them wore bright smiles, their pupils seemingly burning with flames—

boom!

As deep purple and crimson flames ignited between their eyes, they both leaped backward, creating distance between them.

After regaining his footing, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Dong with a smile: "You're becoming more and more adept at manipulating flames."

"You too, you're very skilled at manipulating the Fire Refining Talisman," Lin Dong said with a smile. "And that Xuan Heavy Ruler... it feels like it's become even more powerful."

“After all, you absorbed a new spirit ring,” Xiao Yan casually lifted the Xuan Heavy Ruler and slung it over his shoulder. “However, I didn’t expect your ‘second spirit’ to be gauntlets.” His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the brilliant golden gauntlets worn by Lin Dong’s fists.
