Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

The stakes are not only the outcome of the competition, but also the risk that Wang Teng will have to bear regarding the damage to the spinning top.

Fortunately, he won his gamble.

But the cost is also considerable.

Wang Teng could clearly feel that nearly half of his soul power had been consumed by this attack.

Moreover, in order to maintain the strength of the vortex, the rotational speed of the top itself is significantly reduced by one level.

To regain speed, both time and soul power are needed.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun on the other side was clearly thrown off balance by this unexpected situation.

He was stunned for a moment, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Wang Teng had never cracked Phoenix Fireline so head-on before.

That moment of distraction gave Wang Teng a chance to catch his breath.

Ultimate Technique: Phantom Wind Chaser!

In just a few breaths, the speed of the Gale Steed had been restored.

Without hesitation, Wang Teng launched his strongest attack to date.

The blue spinning top suddenly blurred, transforming into a streak of light that seemed to teleport almost instantly, leaving several afterimages in the air before hurtling straight at Ma Hongjun's lower body at a tricky angle!

"Oops!"

Ma Hongjun felt a chill run down his spine, and his rich combat instincts allowed him to react instantly.

"Second Soul Skill: Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes!"

Crimson flames erupted from his body.

This flame was not an attack, but rather covered Ma Hongjun's entire body like armor.

As the flames flowed, his muscle lines became even more defined, and his aura rose once more.

Clearly, this is his amplification soul skill.

This move can simultaneously increase strength, speed, and defense.

Furthermore, the body parts covered by flames can cause continuous burns to attackers at close range.

The moment the soul skill was completed, the blue spinning top was already upon him.

Instead of a head-on attack, it made a sharp turn close to the ground, its side edge slicing towards Ma Hongjun's right calf like a blade!

"Sizzle—!"

The dull thud of flesh tearing was enough to make your teeth ache.

The moment the spinning top passed Ma Hongjun, a wound about an inch long appeared on the outside of his right leg.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining Ma Hongjun's trousers and the ground red.

"hateful!"

Ma Hongjun groaned in pain, his eyes flashing with anger.

The injury only fueled his ferocity; he suddenly turned around and vomited repeatedly.

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line! Fire Line! Fire Line!"

"Hu-hu-hu-"

Three lines of fire, arranged in a triangular pattern, blocked any possible escape route for the spinning top. The temperature was even higher than before, and the air itself was distorted by the heat.

"Phantom Chaser, open again!"

Wang Teng gritted his teeth and activated his soul power.

The blue top drew strange zigzag lines in the air, changing direction several times and leaving behind several afterimages on the ground that were difficult to distinguish from reality.

The fire missed its mark repeatedly, leaving charred marks on the ground, but it didn't even touch the edge of the spinning top.

"Fatty, it's the final blow!"

At this moment, Wang Teng's breathing had become somewhat rapid.

Maintaining the blessing of the sacred beast and the high-intensity control of the spinning top attack had almost depleted his soul power.

Therefore, this move must determine the winner.

Ultimate Technique: Phantom Wind Chaser!

The blue top reached its speed limit, and the body of the top even turned slightly red due to high-speed friction.

The swift steed, Spinning Top, no longer meandered, but transformed into a streak of azure lightning, crashing straight into Ma Hongjun!

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!!"

Ma Hongjun, instead of retreating, advanced, fully activating his first soul skill.

At this moment, the fire line that spewed out from Ma Hongjun's mouth solidified like a crimson jade pillar!

Flames and whirlwinds collided once again.

"Pfft—!"

The solid pillar of fire was cleaved open by the spinning top!

The blue swirling wind, like countless tiny blades, peeled away and shredded the flames layer by layer.

In the end, the swift steed, Spinning Top, continued its momentum and crashed hard into Ma Hongjun's arms, which he was protecting his chest with!

"boom--!"

With a muffled thud, Ma Hongjun staggered back several steps, finally unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, the flame armor covering his body began to flicker and quickly dimmed.

The cyan spinning top turned into wisps of cyan smoke after the impact and dissipated into the air, leaving only the phantom of the sacred beast emitting a long hiss before slowly fading away.

"Huh...huh..."

Wang Teng's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his chest heaving violently.

His soul power was completely exhausted, and he felt a growing sense of emptiness within his body.

"Cough cough...it hurts so much..."

On the other side, Ma Hongjun, grimacing, braced himself against the ground and stood up.

At this moment, his right leg wound was still bleeding, and his arms on his chest were burning with pain.

"Damn it, I still have a lot of soul power left, so why am I fighting so frustratingly? I've been getting beaten up the whole time..."

Ma Hongjun complained as he walked towards Wang Teng.

Wang Teng looked at Ma Hongjun, who was cursing and swearing, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

I have already given it my all, used every trick in the book, but I have only managed to defeat my opponent for a short time.

The difference in social class ultimately stands like a chasm.

"Hey kid."

Flander's voice came from above, tinged with a hint of mockery.

"What's with that look on your face? You won, why are you making such a fuss?"

Wang Teng looked up and saw that Flander had walked up to him at some point and was looking down at him, his eyes behind his glasses flashing with an all-knowing look.

"The fat guy is six levels higher than you, a whole realm higher, and has one more hundred-year soul ring."

Flander pointed to Ma Hongjun, who was still rubbing his chest.

"You were able to keep him on the defensive until his soul power was exhausted, forcing him to fight back and eventually knocking him down."

"The fighting ability you've shown is already quite impressive."

"What, still not satisfied?"

Wang Teng paused for a moment, the bitterness on his face slowly dissipated, and finally a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Dean."

He propped himself up on his knees and stood up, swaying slightly.

On the other side, Ma Hongjun limped over, but there was no resentment on his face; instead, he grinned.

"Well done, you kept this a secret."

"What is that horse shadow thing? I've never seen you use it before."

"It is a sacred beast."

Wang Teng didn't hide anything and explained, "It's probably some kind of power left over from the Gale Steed that I absorbed in my first soul ring."

"My martial soul is a mutated martial soul, which may have caused special changes."

"A mutated martial soul..."

Flander stroked his chin thoughtfully, his gaze sweeping over Wang Teng, and suddenly said, "Wang Teng, you have good combat awareness, your martial soul is special, and your soul skills are well-matched."

"Most importantly, you know how to hide your cards and when to take a gamble at a crucial moment."

Flanders paused, and amidst the puzzled looks of the others, slowly said, "So, I plan to give you a 'special admission' spot."

"Special admission?"

Oscar blinked, then asked in confusion, "Dean, what do you mean?"

Flander looked at Wang Teng and explained, "What I mean is, even if you are twelve years old two years later and your soul power has not reached the level 21 entrance standard, as long as your soul power is not too far off, Shrek Academy is willing to accept you as a student."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng was stunned.

He didn't expect Flanders to suddenly offer such a "gift".

The special recruitment quota is practically a backup plan for him.

Even if Wang Teng's cultivation progress is not ideal two years later, he still has the opportunity to enter Shrek Academy and still has the opportunity to... get closer to that future trajectory (follow Tang San and become a fairy herb).
