Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 45 Reminding Feng Xiaotian (3k chapters)

With a long howl, Feng Xiaotian moved, his body shooting out like a meteor chasing the moon, leaving a long trail of light behind him, his speed incredibly fast.

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, fully releasing his mental power to judge Feng Xiaotian's movements.

The weakness of Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill has already been explained in the original work. This self-created soul skill accumulates power continuously as it is continuously activated. As long as it is interrupted at the beginning of the skill's execution, its power cannot be exerted at all.

"Third Soul Skill, Gale Shadow Breaker!"

With his superhuman mental strength, Xiao Yu caught sight of Feng Xiaotian's approaching figure. Xiao Yu's third soul ring instantly emitted a dazzling light. With the Hades Sword in hand, he dashed out like lightning, leaving only a black afterimage.

boom!

With a whoosh, the Hades Sword in Xiao Yu's hand pierced Feng Xiaotian's wing. Under the powerful destructive force of the Hades Sword, the wings that Feng Xiaotian had condensed with his soul power turned into specks of white light and instantly shattered.

Feng Xiaotian screamed in agony as the immense force sent him flying backward, crashing into the ground from the Soul Arena.

"Brother Feng!"

Huo Wushuang took the lead and stepped forward to help Feng Xiaotian up, quickly checking his condition. Huo Wu was a couple of steps behind, following behind her brother and looking at Feng Xiaotian with some concern. Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy were closely connected, and although she didn't like Feng Xiaotian, she didn't want to see him really get into trouble.

"Cough, cough, I'm fine!"

Feng Xiaotian coughed violently a few times to calm the turbulent blood and qi within him, then cupped his hands in thanks to Xiao Yu and said, "Thank you for showing mercy!"

Feng Xiaotian knew very well that Xiao Yu had held back in his attack just now. Otherwise, it wouldn't have just been the wings he had condensed with his soul power that were destroyed by that powerful attack, and he wouldn't have simply fallen off the Soul Arena.

Xiao Yu nodded, then turned to the referee and said, "Can we announce the results of the competition now?"

"oh oh!!"

The referee, recovering from his shock, quickly raised his hand and announced, "Xiao Yu wins this Soul Battle!"

The referee's voice was like a fuse, instantly igniting the audience outside the arena. Countless people cheered. People admire strength, and Xiao Yu had clearly conquered them in terms of power!

However, Xiao Yu didn't expect that among these envious gazes, a pair of eyes radiated a terrifying killing intent. The owner of these eyes appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender build, standing over 1.9 meters tall. His neat, short black hair stood up like steel needles, and his hands were long and powerful. He wasn't particularly handsome, and his face was expressionless, as if his facial muscles were stiff. Dressed in a blue, unadorned outfit, he was none other than Yu Tianheng, the third-generation direct descendant of the Blue Point Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Yu Tianheng stared at Xiao Yu for a while, then turned to the guard sent by his family beside him and asked, "Uncle Bolun, are you sure that he was the one who tried to kill Uncle Xiaokun in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

The guard beside Yu Tianheng was none other than one of the Blue-Spotted Tyrannosaurus Rex members who had narrowly escaped with Yu Xiaokun during their attempt to seize the Soul Bone in the Star Dou Great Forest. Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's question, he nodded emphatically: "There's absolutely no mistake. Although it was that Soul Douluo beside him who made the move that day, it was indeed this kid who ordered Yu Xiaokun's execution!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and uttered three "good"s in succession: "How dare this brat try to kill a direct descendant of my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family! He's really asking for trouble!"

"Uncle Boren, return to the sect immediately!"

Yu Tianheng glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention before continuing, "I've already inquired. This kid has a good relationship with Dugu Bo. I heard that he helped Dugu Yan evolve his martial soul. Add to that his soul ring setup, and I'm almost certain this kid has a great opportunity. If our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can obtain this opportunity, then perhaps in the near future, the rankings of the three upper sects will change. After you go back, tell Grandpa everything and ask him to take action personally. Whether it's for the future of the family or for Uncle Xiao Kun's blood feud, we absolutely cannot let this kid get away."

"yes!"

The guard nodded, quietly withdrew from the crowd, left the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and headed straight for True Dragon Mountain, the residence of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

At this moment, Xiao Yu did not notice Yu Tianheng's little actions. After defeating Feng Xiaotian, he also jumped off the stage, pulled Ye Lingling aside, and walked to Huo Wu and the other two, whereupon he explained the whole story.

"So, you didn't apply to our Blazing Fire Academy because of the sect's arrangements?"

Huo Wu still looked at Xiao Yu with a suspicious expression.

Xiao Yu nodded. Although there were still some inaccuracies in what he said, it was the most he could tell Huo Wu.

"So that's how it is!"

After hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, Feng Xiaotian suddenly realized what was going on. He smiled, stepped forward, patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder, and said, "I'm really sorry, Brother Xiao, I misunderstood you. We've become friends through this little misunderstanding, hahaha!"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly. Although Feng Xiaotian was a bit arrogant and a bit of a sycophant to Huo Wu, he wasn't a bad person at heart.

Out of goodwill towards Feng Xiaotian, Xiao Yu didn't mind giving him a hint: "Was that move you just used your self-created soul skill?"

"good!"

Feng Xiaotian nodded with a hint of pride. Unlike soul skills granted by soul rings, self-created soul skills cannot take shape naturally. Every soul master who can create their own soul skills is an exceptionally talented individual. This is what Feng Xiaotian is most proud of: "My Gale Slash is not yet perfect. I will work harder to perfect this move in the future, and I will not be defeated by you so easily next time."

"You've gone down the wrong path!"

Xiao Yu sighed and kindly reminded him, "Your self-created soul skill is clearly based on your third soul skill, just like the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Clear Sky Sect. It's a combo that gradually increases in strength. But have you considered that the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique is based on the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul? As the Soul Master's strength increases, the hammer technique will also gradually become stronger."

But you're different. A third soul skill is always just a third soul skill. Right now, you're only at the Soul Master stage. A thousand-year-old soul skill may seem powerful, but once your soul power increases to the Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, or even higher levels, how much damage do you think a self-created soul skill evolved from a thousand-year-old soul skill will have when fighting against other soul masters of the same level?

Feng Xiaotian's expression changed. How could someone who could comprehend their own soul skill be a fool? It's just that he got carried away with his excitement after comprehending his own soul skill and got stuck on it. When Xiao Yu reminded him, it was like suddenly waking up from a dream, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

"Feng Xiaotian, I've heard of you. You're a genius with innate full soul power, a talent that Shenfeng Academy sees only once in a century!"

Xiao Yu continued, "But you're already eighteen years old, and your soul power is only level thirty-seven. Do you think this cultivation speed matches your innate full soul power aptitude? The golden age for soul masters to cultivate is before twenty. You're wasting your best cultivation time for a flashy but impractical self-created soul skill. Do you think it's worth it?"

Seeing that Feng Xiaotian was clearly softening, Xiao Yu pressed his advantage. In the original story, five years after the Soul Master Competition ended, Feng Xiaotian, without the aid of any immortal herbs, managed to raise his soul power from level 44 to level 61. If Tang San hadn't sacrificed his wife, logically, he would have reached the same level when acquiring his sixth soul ring. If the Shrek Seven Devils hadn't urgently activated their second cheat—the Seagod Island Trial—Feng Xiaotian might have actually managed to overtake them.

Xiao Yu gave Feng Xiaotian some pointers for two reasons. First, he couldn't bear to see such a talented and brilliant Soul Master like Feng Xiaotian end up as an ordinary nobody. Second, he wanted to cause some trouble for Tang San in the Soul Master Competition. Xiao Yu was curious about what the outcome of the competition would be if Tang San, who was at the Soul Master level, encountered Feng Xiaotian, who was already at the Soul King level or even higher.

"While superior soul skills can certainly give a soul master an advantage in a battle, the true determinant of victory remains the soul master's soul power level. Even if you perfect your self-created soul skill to perfection, while you're focusing on perfecting it, your opponent is seizing the time to cultivate and increase their soul power. In the end, the difference in soul power levels between the two will widen. Brother Feng, if the difference in soul power levels between the two is more than ten levels, even if you use the final, continuously stacked self-created soul skill, who do you think will win?"

Feng Xiaotian, who had just been showing some relaxation, fell completely silent. Clearly, he had taken Xiao Yu's words to heart.

"Furthermore, the weakness of your self-created soul skill is far too obvious. It requires constant charging to unleash its full power, and if it's interrupted at the initial charging stage, the move loses all its threat. That's all I have to say, Brother Feng. Take care!"

After a long silence, Feng Xiaotian suddenly nodded emphatically, bowed deeply to Xiao Yu, and said, "Brother Xiao, thank you for your guidance!"

. . . . . . . . . .

At the same time, Yu Tianheng's guards left the Tiandu Royal Academy and rushed to Zhenlong Mountain. They immediately reported everything to the clan leader, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, who possessed a level 95 soul power cultivation.

After hearing his subordinate's report, Yu Yuanzhen immediately issued an order: "Summon the sect elders and follow me to Tiandou City immediately."

The murder of a direct descendant of the family; the second ring of a thousand-year-old and the fourth ring of a ten-thousand-year-old, completely breaking the soul master's soul ring matching system; and the secret treasure that can advance a snake-type martial soul into a dragon-type martial soul, it is not hard to guess that it must be a secret treasure containing the bloodline of the dragon race. If their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul uses such a secret treasure, it may be able to evolve into a true dragon martial soul. If it were only one of these three things, he would still be wary of Dugu Bo's face. But with all three things combined, Yu Yuanzhen made his choice without hesitation.
