Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 99 Heavenly Dou Team 2 VS Divine Wind Academy Team (Part 1)

The fireball that was now suspended in the air was now completely under Lin Yizhang's control. He could push it in any direction, and even throw it back to Huo Wu would be no problem.

Fortunately, this was just an ordinary spirit battle, not a life-or-death struggle, so the Blazing Fire Academy team was glad that they didn't get to experience their own "fireball masterpiece".

Lin Yizhang channeled his soul power to perform a Great Shift, sending the fireball high into the sky. He then conjured a Rasengan and detonated the fireball high in the air.

After a loud bang, to Huo Wu's incredulous gaze, Lin Yizhang sent her off the Soul Arena with a single palm strike. He then kicked the rest of the Blazing Fire Academy team members, who were exhausted from depleting their soul power, off the Soul Arena as well.

"I hereby declare the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team 2 the winner of the battle between the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team 2 and the Blazing Fire Academy Team!" The referee announced the result of the battle.

This time, Lin Yizhang did not let the referee start the next battle immediately. Although Lin Yizhang felt that his soul power consumption was not too great, as the captain, he had to consider the situation of his team members.

Lin Yan and his group are roughly equal in strength to Lei Dong and the others. They have fought very hard in the last two matches, and now it's time for them to rest for a while.

Furthermore, leaving some time for the remaining two teams to prepare properly allows the Shenfeng Academy and Tianshui Academy teams to strategize effectively, enabling them to perform at their best. This will make the upcoming Soul Battles more interesting. At least Lin Yizhang thinks defeating an opponent who is giving their all is a very enjoyable experience.

The next match is between Team Two and Team Kamikaze.

Lin Yizhang was also eager to experience firsthand the power of Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes—an attack that required Tang San to use his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to counter. However, Lin Yizhang wasn't sure if Feng Xiaotian had successfully executed the Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes at this moment.

Lin Yizhang pondered to himself, "There are only six months left until the opening of the Soul Master Competition. Logically speaking, Feng Xiaotian should have already created this self-created Soul Skill by now. Even if he hasn't reached the thirty-six-hit combo, he should at least have reached the twenty-four-hit combo. As long as I can see Feng Xiaotian's method of using his opponent's force against him, I might be able to create a self-created Soul Skill that uses my fists to use his opponent's force against him."

Actually, when Lin Yizhang watched anime before, he felt that the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes were very similar, except that one was performed with a hammer and the other with wings. In essence, they both used the technique of using the opponent's force against them. So, it wouldn't hurt to create his own technique using his fists.

Furthermore, Lin Yizhang has come up with several ways to counter fighting styles such as the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf.

The first way to counter this is to interrupt the opponent's charge-up attack. The second way is to quickly dodge and avoid being hit. The third way is to move along with the opponent; as long as you remain behind them or at the same height and perpendicular to their attack position, they won't be able to hit you. This is because using an opponent's force against them relies on certain rotational techniques, not on attacking from any direction at will.

These three methods of breaking the spell seem simple, but not everyone can do them, because they require that one's speed be no less than that of the opponent, and that the power of the attack be strong enough to interrupt the opponent's move.

Coincidentally, all three of these methods were applicable to Lin Yizhang in dealing with Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes. Because Lin Yizhang possessed self-created soul skills such as Explosive Step, Sky Step, and Instant Step, which could enhance his movement speed, Tang San and Feng Xiaotian were not at a speed advantage. Moreover, Lin Yizhang's attack power was strong enough to interrupt their use of borrowed force against them.

Half an hour passed quickly, and with the help of the recovery pills that Lin Yizhang took out, all members of the second team were back to their peak condition.

"I'll handle Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Shenfeng Academy team. You guys go find other opponents to fight. We don't need any tactics, just do your best," Lin Yizhang instructed the second team.

Lin Yizhang turned to Dugu Yan and continued, "The opponents are all wind-attribute soul masters. Your poison mist attack won't be very effective, Yan Yan. Why don't you participate in this soul battle? Give Lin Yirong a chance to practice."

"Alright, but I'll be playing in the final match against the Tianshui Academy team. I need to get some experience too, hehe." Dugu Yan said with a smile.

"Members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team 2 and the Divine Wind Academy Team, please come to the stage and prepare. The match is about to begin." The referee's voice came over at this moment.

When Feng Xiaotian saw that Dugu Yan did not appear on the field, but was replaced by a girl who had not appeared before, he was also a little confused. "Could this person also be a Soul Master?" Feng Xiaotian wondered to himself.

However, after everyone released their martial souls and soul rings, the seven members of the Shenfeng Academy team noticed that the one who replaced Dugu Yan was a Soul Master with a vine-type martial soul.

"The one replacing Dugu Yan is just a Soul Master, it's not a big problem. Just continue with the tactics we just decided on," Feng Xiaotian said to his teammates.

"Understood," the remaining six members of the Kamikaze Academy team responded in unison.

"The battle begins!" the referee announced loudly.

The members of both teams tacitly found suitable opponents and began to fight.

Everyone tacitly left a fighting area for Lin Yizhang and Feng Xiaotian.

As Feng Xiaotian unleashed his second and first soul skills, he said, "Lin Yizhang, right? Considering you didn't hurt Xiao Wu just now (that's right, Feng Xiaotian calls Huo Wu Xiao Wu), I'll go easy on you later."

"Second Soul Skill, Twin Wolves Possession".

This is a powerful amplification-type soul skill of Feng Xiaotian. Its effect is to increase attack, defense, and agility by 50%.

The two-headed wolf shadow behind Feng Xiaotian gradually merged with his body, and his aura became even more imposing.

"First Soul Skill: Wind Blade Formation"

A series of wind blades rapidly attacked Lin Yizhang.

While Feng Xiaotian was using his soul skills, Lin Yizhang wasn't idle either, unleashing his first, second, and third soul skills. He remained unused of his fourth soul skill.

Faced with the incoming wind blades, Lin Yizhang did not dodge, but quickly formed several Rasengans to block them.

Feng Xiaotian knew that his first soul skill could not harm Lin Yizhang. He used this soul skill to buy time to unleash his strongest fourth soul skill.
