Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

A barrage of arrows pierced the tree trunk, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

"kill--!"

After a volley of arrows, dozens of soldiers drew their swords, formed a battle formation, and roared as they pressed towards Wang Teng and his men's hiding place with astonishing force.

"First Soul Skill: Gale Steed Spinning Top!"

Wang Teng made the first move, and a yellow spirit ring lit up beneath his feet.

A spinning top, shimmering with blue and red light, appeared out of thin air.

On the spinning top, the phantom of the divine beast, Gale Steed, raised its head and galloped forward.

The sacred beast and the spinning top spun together as it burst out from behind the tree, tracing an arc as it charged straight at the oncoming soldiers.

"Whoosh-"

The Gale Steed Spinning Top is of the wind attribute. With the assistance of Wang Teng's wind attribute soul power perception, it moves freely among the trees at an extremely fast speed.

Just as Wang Teng was about to use the cutting power of the spinning top to harvest the front-line soldiers, Li Si, who was next to Baron Wildfire, made a move.

Second Soul Skill: Frost Serpent.

A chilling aura condensed in front of Li Si, instantly transforming into more than a dozen long, ice-blue snakes.

The ice serpent meandered and slithered, leaving behind a trail of white frost on the ground.

Before Wang Teng's spinning top could even touch the soldier, an ice snake leaped out and crashed into him.

"boom!"

The ice snake shattered instantly, turning into scattered ice crystals.

However, the surface of the Gale Steed Spinner was quickly covered with a layer of solid ice.

"Whoosh—click!"

The spinning speed of the top visibly slowed down, emitting a harsh friction sound.

"Damn it! I shouldn't have engaged in a direct confrontation; I should have used speed to maneuver around them!"

Wang Teng was startled and immediately deactivated his soul skill.

The blue spinning top on the field vanished instantly.

"call……"

Wang Teng exhaled a breath of white air carrying a chill.

The icy soul power that had been attached to the spinning top was withdrawn with the soul skill and backfired into his body, making his internal organs feel icy cold.

Fortunately, Wang Teng was physically strong, and the external force only made him feel uncomfortable for a few seconds.

"Third Soul Skill: Spirit Cat Transformation!"

"Meow—!"

On the other side, Regiment Commander Zhang Feng also made a move.

He unleashed his strongest soul skill, his movements as agile as a true nimble cat, transforming into a blur as he lunged straight at Baron Mountain Fire in the center of the group, intending to behead him.

"Third Soul Skill: Blazing Rocket".

Baron Mountain Fire remained unmoved as Zhang Feng rapidly approached. A thousand-year-old purple soul ring suddenly rose beneath his feet, and the powerful aura of a Soul Master spread out.

A gigantic phantom of a sycamore tree, over ten meters tall and entirely composed of flames, appeared behind him.

Flames swayed the branches of the sycamore tree, and in the next moment, countless burning rockets rained down on Zhang Feng like a storm.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh-!"

The sound of something cutting through the air continued incessantly, and flames instantly engulfed the space where Zhang Feng was.

"Commander, watch out!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Teng cried out in alarm.

"Kid, you still say you should take care of yourself first!"

"First Soul Skill: Ice Cone!"

Li Si's offensive had begun; countless sharp ice spikes rained down on the tree where Wang Teng was hiding.

The chill was biting, and Wang Teng didn't even have time to think before instinctively rolling backward.

"Puff puff!"

The instant he left his spot, several icicles pierced through the tree trunk, shot past his previous location, and embedded themselves deeply in the ground behind him.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Zhang Feng, facing the Mountain Fire Baron's millennium soul skill, began to fight with all his might.

"Second Soul Skill: Hundred Claws of the Spirit Cat!"

Where Zhang Feng was, countless claw-like shadows burst forth, tearing and scattering the surrounding rockets.

He lay on all fours, slightly out of breath, and looked up at Baron Wildfire, his eyes grave: "This is bad, the opponent is much stronger than me..."

"First Soul Skill: Fiery Phoenix Shadow Entanglement!"

Baron of the Wildfire gave Zhang Feng no chance to catch his breath. With a wave of his hand, several vines made entirely of flames suddenly shot out from the phantom of the Flaming Phoenix Tree behind him, baring their fangs and claws as they coiled around Zhang Feng.

"Everyone, retreat! Split up and go!"

While desperately dodging the pursuit of the fiery vines, Zhang Feng suddenly grabbed the iron cage containing the Jumping Cat from the ground and sprinted off in one direction, shouting orders at the same time.

Upon hearing the order, everyone acted without hesitation.

Yang Sheng and Li Zhishu exchanged a glance and tacitly fled in another direction.

"Big brother, stay close to me!"

Wang Teng then called to Wang Sheng beside him, and the two brothers rushed into the depths of the dense forest on the left.

"First Soul Skill: Gale Steed Spinning Top!"

"Divine Beast Gale Steed, clear the way!"

The phantoms of the spinning top and the sacred beast reappeared, spinning and impacting in front, cutting down the vines and branches blocking their way. The two Wang brothers followed closely behind, quickly moving away from the battlefield.

"Baron, they've escaped!"

Zhang San, Li Si, and the soldiers looked at Baron Wildfire, awaiting instructions.

Chapter 108 Second Soul Skill: Crimson Flame Divine Bird Spinning Top

Baron Wildfire glanced indifferently in the direction Zhang Feng had fled and said, "That captain is a Soul Master. Chasing after him will only lead to your deaths, so there's no need to worry about him."

"As for the remaining few... there is a Great Soul Master who just absorbed his second Soul Ring, a Food-type Soul Master, and a Great Soul Master with ordinary Soul Power. Their strength is all below that of the two of you."

He hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Zhang San, Li Si, each of you go and bring me back the heads of those two groups of people who escaped."

"Someone has offended me and now they want to run away? How is that possible?"

"Remember, I want to see results."

"Yes, sir! I obey!"

Zhang San and Li Si responded in unison, and each then selected a small squad of soldiers to chase after the Wang Teng brothers and Yang Sheng and Li Zhishu in the direction they had fled.

As for Baron Wildfire himself, he leisurely walked to the campfire with the remaining soldiers and the red-haired boy.

The boy couldn't wait to tear off a deer leg and start taking big bites.

Baron Wildfire glanced at the remaining roasted meat on the ground and waved to his men: "Eat up. After you're done, keep chasing. You think you can get away with offending me?"

The forest fell silent again, save for the crackling of the campfire, which illuminated the figures of the group eating in silence, and the distant footsteps of their pursuers gradually fading away.

At this moment, Wang Teng and his elder brother Wang Sheng were running as fast as they could towards the side of the forest.

Thanks to Wang Teng's Gale Steed Spinning Top and Gale Steed Sacred Beast clearing the way, cutting vines and scaring away small soul beasts, the two did not encounter too many obstacles along the way.

However, after running for nearly half an hour, Wang Sheng's speed noticeably slowed down.

"Huh...huh..."

He was panting heavily, his chest heaving, sweat dripping from his forehead, and his legs felt as heavy as lead.

"Big brother?"

Upon seeing this, Wang Teng immediately turned back and reached out to help.

"I... can't run anymore..."

Wang Sheng shook his head, waved to his younger brother, and spoke haltingly.

"Little brother, you...you should go on your own now!"

"What nonsense!"

Without a second thought, Wang Teng interrupted him, saying, "How could I possibly leave you alone!"

"But the people behind are catching up quickly..."

Wang Sheng anxiously looked behind him.

Deep in the woods, the faint sounds of pursuers' footsteps and the rustling of leaves could be heard, growing ever closer.

Wang Teng quickly calmed down and, after a moment's thought, said, "Okay, brother, I'll deal with the leader of the Soul Masters."

"Go and deal with the ordinary soldiers following behind. Their soul power is not high; they are all below level ten. You should be able to handle them."

“But you’ve only just absorbed your second soul ring.”

Wang Sheng was somewhat uneasy about his younger brother's arrangements. He said worriedly, "Whoever comes from behind will definitely be a veteran Great Soul Master with at least level 20 in soul power. You..."

"Believe me."

Wang Teng pressed down on his elder brother's shoulder and said with a firm look in his eyes, "It's just fighting a level above us. Besides, the difference between us isn't a whole realm, but just a few levels of soul power."

"and……"

Wang Teng lowered his voice and said quickly, "I'll let you in on a secret: the nine-hundred-year-old soul ring I absorbed directly boosted my soul power to level twenty-three."

"What? Really?"

Wang Sheng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
