Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 44 Battle against Feng Xiaotian

Seeing that the usually gentle and considerate Ye Lingling was showing signs of turning evil, Xiao Yu was speechless.

Damn it, I'm not two-timing anyone, although who knows in the future, but I'm not yet. What's with this chaotic atmosphere?

"Lingling, let me explain."

Xiao Yu gently patted Ye Lingling's fidgeting hand, signaling her to let go, and made as if to explain.

"Well, kid, you dare to deceive Sister Huowu? You're asking for death!"

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Xiaotian, the sycophantic jerk, exploded. "I've been trying to win over Huo Wu for years and she's never given me a kind look. This guy is so ungrateful and dares to cheat on me. It's infuriating to compare people like this!" Feng Xiaotian's expression cracked.

Xiao Yu was speechless: "No, can you guys please let me finish what I have to say?"

"Kid, enough talk. If you've got the guts, come fight me on the Soul Arena. I'm going to teach you a lesson for Huo Wu!"

Feng Xiaotian was clearly blinded by jealousy and didn't listen to what Xiao Yu was saying at all. He directly challenged Xiao Yu.

Although Huo Wu had always looked down on Feng Xiaotian's sycophantic behavior, she thought about how Xiao Yu dared to deceive her, so she didn't say anything and let Feng Xiaotian misunderstand for a while. That way, he could teach Xiao Yu a lesson on the Soul Battle Stage and vent his anger.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Xiao Yu, who is not one to take things lying down. He did feel somewhat guilty towards Huo Wu, but Feng Xiaotian, that sycophant, had repeatedly ignored and provoked him, so he didn't need to be polite to him: "Alright, then let's let strength speak for itself."

Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy originally came to Tiandou Royal Academy for exchange and learning. Of course, exchange and learning would involve sparring, and the Royal Academy's Soul Arena was already fully prepared. Feng Xiaotian's status at Shenfeng Academy was not low either. He went over and told the teacher in charge, who then went to find the teachers at the Royal Academy. In less than ten minutes, a Soul Arena was available for Feng Xiaotian and Xiao Yu to fight.

On the battle stage, Feng Xiaotian and Xiao Yu stood on either side.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

With a roar, Feng Xiaotian summoned the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, which possessed him. A faint blue light surged from his body, and his body underwent a noticeable change as the blue light rippled. Accompanied by cracking sounds from his bones, his muscles and bones expanded simultaneously, making his figure significantly larger. His long hair was also dyed blue, and a wolf head emerged from his left shoulder. Three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, pulsed in front of him.

"Feng Xiaotian, Level 37 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master!"

Looking at Feng Xiaotian in front of him, Xiao Yu sighed helplessly. If he remembered correctly, this guy should be eighteen years old, with innate full soul power, and level thirty-seven at eighteen. Considering that he appeared at twenty-four and level forty-four in the original work, excluding the level he gained from absorbing the fourth soul ring, that means he only leveled up six times in six years, averaging one level per year. No wonder he is called the shame of innate full soul power.

After absorbing his third soul ring, this guy probably focused on honing his self-created soul skill, and also spent his free time running around to Blazing Fire Academy to fawn over others. He left the most fundamental soul power cultivation to the very end.

"Kid, now you know fear!"

Feng Xiaotian, whose head had turned into a blue wolf's head, stared at Xiao Yu with a sinister gaze, thinking that Xiao Yu was frightened by his strength.

Xiao Yu did not refute Feng Xiaotian. He believed that defeating such a guy with strength was more effective than any verbal battle.

His martial spirit silently possessed him, and jet-black armor adhered to his body. A pair of equally jet-black wings extended from his back, lifting him into the air. Four spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—appeared in an instant.

At this moment, Xiao Yu no longer intended to hide his strength. With the enjoyment of the soul tool, the sect had accumulated a large amount of funds. When he returned to the sect this time, the matter of opening an academy should be put on the agenda. As the future chief of the academy, he naturally had to make the academy famous. There were hundreds of students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Divine Wind Academy, and Blazing Fire Academy. Through them, the reputation would soon spread throughout the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

Currently, the sect has three Title Douluos in charge. Although Dugu Bo hasn't agreed to join the Nine Star Hall, he's subtly showing his support for Xiao Yu. In recent days, the sect has used Dugu Bo's name several times in its actions. With the intimidation of four Title Douluos, no fool would dare to forcibly seize Xiao Yu's secret technique for absorbing spirit rings beyond his level.

As for the Spirit Hall, Xiao Yu analyzed that the reason why Bibi Dong only launched the Soul Hunting Operation more than ten years later was probably due to the instability of her position in the Spirit Hall. After all, she was not of the Angel Family bloodline, so Bibi Dong at the moment could not withstand the wrath of a sect with multiple Title Douluo.

"Xiao Yu, a level 45 offensive-type Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

Xiao Yu's deep voice rang out, and the crowd erupted in commotion.

"How is this possible? A second ring after a thousand years, a fourth ring after ten thousand years—all absorptions beyond his level! How did he manage that?"

"This guy looks a few years younger than us. How did he manage to reach the Soul Master realm at such a young age? Even in the Spirit Hall, the holy land of Soul Masters, someone with his talent is extremely rare!"

Feng Xiaotian, like the spectators below, was filled with shock.

"What, are you going to just admit defeat?"

Xiao Yu's cold voice pulled Feng Xiaotian back to reality. Looking at Xiao Yu, who was like a monster, he really wanted to admit defeat for a moment.

But his inner pride wouldn't allow him to do such a thing, especially with Huo Wu watching from below. How could he surrender without a fight?

"Second Soul Skill, Twin Wolves Possession!"

"Third Soul Skill, Gale Wings!"

Faced with an opponent whose strength was clearly superior to his own, Feng Xiaotian skipped the probing step and directly used his trump card.

The second and third spirit rings lit up, and a pair of enormous azure wings unfurled from Feng Xiaotian's back. At the same time, azure light and shadow condensed behind him, forming the shape of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf. Under the backdrop of that massive and dazzling light and shadow, Feng Xiaotian soared into the air. With just one flap of his wings, aided by the wind, his body rose straight up, reaching a height of fifty meters above the ground, where he gazed at Xiao Yu, who had also ascended into the air.

Feng Xiaotian's eyes changed, the arrogance and hostility from before gone, replaced only by respect for his opponent: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. I was offended by my words earlier. A strong person like you would disdain such despicable things as toying with a girl's feelings. As an apology for my rudeness, I will unleash my strongest attack to defeat you. This is a soul skill I created after years of research. Be careful. The soul skill is called: Gale Wolf Eighteen Consecutive Slashes."

Eighteen consecutive slashes, not even reaching the thirty-six consecutive slashes in the original work. Feng Xiaotian really spent all his time on creating his own soul skills.

"bring it on!"

Xiao Yu nodded, also preparing for battle.
