Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

They can fly on swords and move freely through the air, which makes them more flexible and versatile in battle.

In a sense, they are not just simple offensive Soul Masters, but also incorporate characteristics of agility-based Soul Masters.

Facing such an opponent who is good at both offense and defense, and has both speed and strength, Yan's blazing attacks are obviously unlikely to be effective.

Chapter 20: Surprise Attack, Superb Combat Skills

Staring at the two in the center of the arena, Xie Yue and Hu Liena silently wondered: Faced with such a formidable opponent, would Yan choose to use his external soul bone to turn the tide of the battle?

At this moment, Lin Zhendong also kept a close eye on Yan, who had entered a state of combat readiness.

Yan defeated Xie Yue yesterday and has even greater strength than Xie Yue.

He wanted to see how Yan would handle this challenge.

When Yan saw that Feng Yizhi's martial soul was the Wind Sword, he realized that this was an extremely difficult opponent.

Neither his first soul skill, Hell Magma Rush, nor his third soul skill, Hellfire, nor his fourth soul skill, Blazing Slash, could inflict any damage on Feng Yizhi.

Even the most powerful soul skills only have an effect when they hit the target.

Feng Yizhi was able to fly on his sword, so he could easily dodge those attacks.

Therefore, the only threats to him are probably his second soul skill, Granite Rock, his self-created soul skill, Blazing Sand Cage, and attacks from his external soul bones.

Having learned from Xie Yue's failure, Yan did not intend to launch an attack from the beginning, but instead calmly observed and conserved his soul power as much as possible.

He wanted to find weaknesses in his opponent's defense and deliver a heavy blow at the crucial moment.

Feng Yizhi seemed to have seen through Yan's thoughts, and smiled slightly, his words carrying a hint of provocation:

"Young man, it's easy to tell from your appearance that you are a very powerful fire-attribute soul master. However, seeing my martial soul, you should know that your blazing attacks will hardly hurt me. Let's see how long you can withstand my attacks."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Feng Yizhi launched an attack.

The wind sword in his hand moved with a fierce and imposing aura.

With a flash of cyan light, a sharp sword aura rushed straight towards Yan.

Yan dodged the attack with a swift movement, thanks to his amazing agility and reflexes.

The powerful sword energy struck the rock in front of him, creating a loud bang.

Seeing that scene, Xie Yue and Hu Liena became even more nervous, and they couldn't help but feel worried for Yan.

That seemingly frail Soul Master became a completely different person when he got serious, his attacks were clean, swift, and ruthless.

If that attack had hit Yan, he might have won in one move.

"Brother, have you noticed that Yan's speed is much faster than before?"

"Yes, I noticed it when I fought him yesterday. That flying fire fox not only gave him a spirit ring and an external spirit bone, but also gave him even greater speed."

As the brother and sister spoke, their eyes remained fixed on the battlefield ahead.

Yan swiftly dodged the first attack, but Feng Yizhi did not give up.

"You are faster than I expected, but you still can't escape my inescapable net."

After Feng Yizhi finished speaking, he immediately activated his second soul skill—Wind Sword Formation.

In an instant, dozens of sword lights shot towards Yan from all directions, like a dense net of swords surrounding him.

Faced with this sudden, all-around attack, Yan did not appear flustered.

His second spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, and he instantly unleashed his second spirit skill, Granite Rock.

The surrounding rocks seemed to sense his call, rising into the air and spinning rapidly around him.

Some of the rocks crashed into Feng Yizhi's array of flying swords, while others rapidly piled up and compressed, forming an indestructible rock barrier around Yan.

The barrier, like a thick stone wall, firmly protected Yan inside.

The wind sword collided violently with the mountain rock barrier, producing a piercing roar.

Faced with that rock-solid defense, the Wind Sword Formation was unable to break through.

Upon seeing that scene, Feng Yizhi couldn't help but frown.

The other two Soul Kings also found it unbelievable.

They hadn't expected that this fire-attribute soul master would also possess such a powerful earth-attribute soul skill.

"Young man, it seems you do have some skills. However, you'd better watch out from now on."

Feng Yizhi spoke with ease and confidence, as if everything was under his control.

The wind sword formation just now was a group attack skill. It's a soul skill that's less than a thousand years old, so its individual attack power isn't very strong.

Next, he will unleash an even more powerful single-target attack.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Feng Yizhi's ten-thousand-year soul ring suddenly shone brightly, and the sharp sword in his hand suddenly grew to five meters long in the wind. A sword aura even more powerful than before slashed out and directly crashed into the rock barrier that was blocking Yan.

Boom~~~

With a loud bang, the rock barrier shattered instantly.

However, to everyone's surprise, as the broken rocks scattered in the air, they flew towards Feng Yizhi at an astonishing speed and quickly coalesced around him.

Immediately afterwards, a raging inferno appeared out of thin air without warning, quickly merging into the rapidly spinning rubble to form a fiery sand cage that trapped Feng Yizhi inside.

It turns out that Yan used rocks as a defense to force Feng Yizhi to use a more powerful soul skill, thereby exhausting him.

The moment the rock barrier shattered, Yan launched a counterattack.

Feng Yizhi underestimated Yan. He didn't expect that Yan not only possessed earth attribute but also had his own created soul skill.

Yan's fiery power was extraordinary and could cause considerable damage to Feng Yizhi.

But Feng Yizhi is, after all, a Battle Soul King with a strength of level 52. How could he be easily trapped?

Within that crimson, fiery sand cage, streaks of azure sword energy slashed out.

A moment later, with a deafening roar, the blazing sand cage shattered completely.

But all of this seemed to be part of Yan's plan.

Almost simultaneously, a scorching column of magma erupted from the ground, shooting straight toward Feng Yizhi, who had just broken free of the fiery sand cage.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Yizhi flashed forward, stepping on the Azure Wind Sword, and quickly flew into the sky, wary of Yan's next sudden attack.

Once he regained his footing in the air, Feng Yizhi finally caught his breath.

He hadn't expected that the young Soul Master he was fighting would possess such superb combat skills.

Although Yan's strength was not as great as his, he used his soul skills perfectly every time, without wasting any soul power.

He didn't gain any advantage against this Soul Master either. He had just been trapped in the Fiery Sand Cage, and in order to break free of the restraints, he still had several wounds on his arms.

At this moment, Yan was calmly staring at his opponent in the air.

Seeing this, Xie Yue was somewhat excited and thought to himself:

"Is Yan preparing to unleash his blazing wings? If so, he might be able to defeat that Soul Master."

However, Yan did not do what Xie Yue had imagined.

He glanced at Lin Zhendong, then turned his gaze to Feng Yizhi in the air, and said calmly:

"Senior, I have lost this match today."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked astonished.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue looked at each other, finding it hard to understand.

"Yan has already admitted defeat?"

On the other side, Lin Zhendong looked at Yan, a satisfied smile on his face, and nodded with satisfaction.

Chapter 21 Hu Liena's Defeat

Seeing Yan voluntarily admit defeat, a hint of surprise flashed in Feng Yizhi's eyes. He then lightly floated to the ground, his face still showing the excitement of the battle.

He seemed to still be enjoying the competition.

"Young man, I haven't had enough yet. Shall we have a few more rounds?"

Yan gently shook his head and smiled:

"Senior, let's end today's battle here. My soul power is almost exhausted, and I am truly unable to continue fighting you."

In the battle just now, Yan used three soul skills in succession, among which the Blazing Sand Cage was infused with a large amount of mental and soul power.

If the fight continues, without using the external soul bone, the Blazing Wings, it won't last long at all.

Upon hearing Yan's explanation, Feng Yizhi showed a knowing expression and nodded slightly.

"In that case, we'll fight again next time."

"Yes. Senior, I'll seek your guidance again next time."
