Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

'Are you sure you want to go up and defeat a level 32 Soul Master whose soul power is almost completely exhausted?'

Although Lei Dong didn't say it aloud, everyone present, who wasn't lacking in emotional intelligence, understood what he meant without needing to be reminded.

“I will give him half an hour to recover his soul power,” Yu Tianxin stood up. “It would be too ridiculous if he couldn’t achieve a sixteen-game winning streak because of insufficient soul power.”

"The Elephant Armor Academy won't agree, will they?" Lei Dong's lips twitched slightly as he spoke.

“The dean of Elephant Armor Academy will have someone stop him.” Yu Tianxin was quite confident about this. He didn’t think the dean of Thunder Academy would let him defeat an opponent with insufficient soul power.

"You actually have no objections?"

After Yu Tianxin told Xiao Yan, "I'll give you half an hour to recover your soul power. Before that, I will not disturb you," the dean of Thunder Academy kept staring at Hu Yanzhen. However, to his surprise, Hu Yanzhen did not raise any objections.

"What good would my objections do?" Hu Yanzhen didn't even look up at the dean of Thunder Academy before directly asking the question.

"Uh..." After glancing at the dean of Shenfeng Academy and Shuiyun, the dean of Leiting Academy smiled awkwardly, "It probably won't work."

"Isn't that it?" Hu Yanzhen snorted coldly. "Besides, after Yu Tianxin goes on stage, Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian will definitely be the next ones to appear, right?" After saying the second half of his sentence, Hu Yanzhen finally raised his eyes and looked at Shui Yun and the dean of Shenfeng Academy.

"That should be the case, right?" Shuiyun wasn't too sure either. In her opinion, Shuibing'er wasn't the kind of person who cared much about the outcome of this kind of gauntlet battle. Even if she arranged for other students to take the stage later, Shuiyun wouldn't be surprised.

"Even if I have to rush, I'll still catch that idiot Feng Xiaotian. So what if I lose face!"

The dean of Shenfeng Academy was quite magnanimous. Or rather, because Xiao Yan's performance was so good, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Feng Xiaotian from his own academy. Even though he was now at level forty-one, he still wanted Feng Xiaotian to play. After all, it was embarrassing whether he won or lost, so what was there to care about?

"How much soul power can he recover in half an hour? Even if he recovers it all and defeats Yu Tianxin, Shui Bing'er, and Feng Xiaotian, how much soul power will he have left?" Hu Yanzhen asked confidently. "Under these circumstances, do you think he can still defeat Hu Yanluo?"

'Aren't you afraid that Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian will learn from Yu Tianxin?'

He opened his mouth, but the dean of Thunder Academy didn't say it. In any case, even if Xiao Yan achieved a sixteen-game winning streak, all Thunder Academy would lose was a fruit that could enhance lightning attributes.

The jackpot from the sixteen-game winning streak was just a piece of ice that had been frozen for a thousand years, and Tianshui Academy didn't intend to say much more.

The dean of the Divine Wind Academy, who was preparing the grand prize of cultivating the Gale Wood of the Wind attribute, also remained silent.

'Did I overact?'

After hearing Yu Tianxin say, "I'll give you half an hour to recover your soul power. Before that, I will not disturb you," Xiao Yan began to ponder this question.

Even without considering his mental strength, he was a nine-star Dou Shi, and a peak nine-star Dou Shi who could gather Qi into a core at any time. If converted to soul power level, he would be a level 50 Soul Master... Oh, no, he actually absorbed his fifth soul ring, which would make him a level 51 Soul King.

In short, these twelve people had no effect on Xiao Yan whatsoever.

Although I released ice seals many times, the missing battle qi was restored with just a few breaths; although I created many fire phantom beasts, the missing battle qi was restored with just a few breaths; although I released fire curtains several times, the missing battle qi was restored with just a few breaths!

Actually, it can't be said that it has no impact at all. At least Xiao Yan confirmed that Mars can indeed be used as a medium for freezing. Even other properties, such as the sharpness of metal, the speed of wind, or even the amplification and heating of fire spirit flames, can be used as a medium. If he obtains other special flames in the future, Xiao Yan can develop more moves based on them.

Half an hour is not a long time. As Xiao Yan was lost in thought, time gradually came to the last second.

Are you fully recovered?

At the moment the time was up, Yu Tianxin looked at Xiao Yan, who was "silently recovering his soul power," and asked.

"Let's begin," Xiao Yan said calmly, taking a deep breath. "Let's finish this quickly. I have things to do. The next three don't need to give me time to recover my soul power. Even if we don't achieve a sixteen-game winning streak, that's my own problem."

Xiao Yan has been waiting for these last few scenes for a long time. If things continue like this, he might not be able to keep up the act.

"Let me reintroduce myself," Yu Tianxin said, not caring what Xiao Yan had said. "Yu Tianxin, eighteen years old, level forty, offensive type Battle Soul Venerable."

As he spoke, a dazzling blue light suddenly shone from between Yu Tianxin's eyebrows. Immediately afterward, the blue light spread, descending from his brow into his entire body. Streaks of blue-purple electricity, like small snakes, erupted and coiled around his body. A lightning bolt symbol appeared on his forehead.

His right sleeve burst into ashes as his right arm swelled, increasing its length by more than half a foot. The entire arm became extremely thick, covered with blue-purple scales, and his hand transformed into a claw, also covered with the same scales. Every joint in his hand became extremely large. The blue-purple snake-like lightning swirling around him constantly condensed or flowed on his arm. Unlike other soul masters, his three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—did not swirl around his body but instead coiled around this uniquely mutated arm.

'Dragon transformation...'

Xiao Yan knew the name of this change, after all, it was a "secret technique" unique to the entire continent.

"Xiao Yan, ten years old, a level 32 Power Attack type Battle Soul Master."

The purplish-red flames reappeared in Xiao Yan's palm, with several very ordinary spirit rings floating on them.

Chapter 80 Thunder Dragon and Ice Phoenix

"start!"

The instant Huo Hao's voice fell, Yu Tianxin exerted force with both legs and leaped four or five meters away. Almost at the same time as he left, a purple flame slowly rose from the spot where he had been standing.

Faced with the slowly rising purple flames, Yu Tianxin's first soul ring on her arm flashed, and the lightning dragon claw she condensed slammed out, extinguishing the flames in an instant.

Although he was prepared to be discovered, Xiao Yan was still somewhat surprised to be discovered so quickly.

"We've had our fair share of team battles between our academies," Yu Tianxin said considerately when she saw Xiao Yan's surprise. "There's no way Mars could possibly get close to me."

The second spirit ring lit up, and the countless lightning bolts coiling around Yu Tianxin's body amplified at the same time. The next moment, they transformed into countless lightning arrows that shot out in all directions, igniting all the sparks that were flickering in mid-air.

Xiao Yan didn't care at all. Flames flickered, and a giant fire rhinoceros appeared in front of him.

Yu Tianxin still vividly remembered the giant fire rhinoceros that had knocked away the first student from the Elephant Armor Academy. As the rhinoceros raised its front hooves, Yu Tianxin, who had been aiming for the direction of its charge, quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the rhinoceros's impact.

"burst!"

However, before Yu Tianxin could relax, Xiao Yan slowly uttered a single word.

The giant flaming rhinoceros exploded, and countless flames carrying intense heat rushed outwards. Yu Tianxin, who had no chance to avoid it, saw his second and third soul rings shine brightly, and a dazzling blue lightning bolt instantly erupted from his body.

Endless lightning and flames intertwined and devoured each other in mid-air until, at a certain moment, the lightning dimmed, the flames extinguished, and all the dazzling light disappeared.

On the ground, Yu Tianxin, still in her dragon form, was panting heavily. She had wounds all over her body, and large burns on her back.

His third soul skill is called Thunder Fury, which can put him into a brief berserk state. In this state, the power of thunder is increased by 100%, the attack power is increased by 100%, and the soul power is also increased by 50%. If he does not actively stop the skill, this soul skill will continue until his soul power is exhausted.

Moreover, at the Soul Master stage, each time he unleashed Thunderous Fury, it would put a considerable strain on his body. If those flames hadn't been so terrifying, Yu Tianxin wouldn't have been able to release his third soul skill so easily.

Snapped!

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers, and his second soul ring lit up, forming a fire shield that steadily enveloped Yu Tianxin.

The previous student from Elephant Armor Academy to be eliminated was frozen solid within this fire shield. If she were at her peak, Yu Tianxin was confident she could break through the fire shield with her second and third soul skills, but now—

Yu Tianxin, who could faintly smell the meaty aroma emanating from herself, twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Should we admit defeat?"

As Yu Tianxin struggled with whether to give it her all or simply concede defeat, Xiao Yan's question slowly rang out.

"Admitting defeat is not a choice I would make."

The second and third soul rings on Yu Tianxin's arm lit up again. However, unlike before, this time the lightning simply turned into a bluish-purple color and completely covered his body, like a layer of armor made entirely of lightning. The dragon claw also became noticeably larger.

Ping!

A moment later, the fire shield shattered.

However, it wasn't shattered by Yu Tianxin, but rather by Xiao Yan after Yu Tianxin, who was about to erupt, was frozen.

"That kid's soul skill... is just too outrageous."

On the principal's seat, the dean of Thunder Academy's lips twitched slightly. "Moreover, the consumption seems to be very small. It's clearly a thousand-year soul skill, but I always feel that the power of this soul skill and its consumption are completely mismatched."

"Perhaps it's the type that devours other people's soul power and then freezes them?" The principal of Shenfeng Academy looked at Shuiyun, who should be the most qualified person to evaluate this soul skill.

“The Ice Flame Wolf does have the characteristic of devouring soul power. Even if it is a soul skill that consumes the soul power of others and freezes them, it is impossible for it to appear on a thousand-year soul ring,” Shui Yun shook his head. “If we were to fight against it, perhaps only a weapon soul master would be the most suitable candidate.”

In close combat, they would most likely be frozen, while in ranged combat, they would easily be attacked by the exploding fire beasts. Even though the deans were all Soul Masters, they had never seen such a special Soul Skill and Soul Master.

"Tianshui Academy... It really is Shui Bing'er. It seems she also wants to test the special features of Xiao Yan's Ice Sealing Soul Skill."

On the arena, Shui Bing'er, the most outstanding student of Tianshui Academy, had already stepped forward and stood opposite Xiao Yan.

"Shui Bing'er, sixteen years old, level forty control-type battle spirit master."

"Xiao Yan, ten years old, a level 32 Power Attack type Battle Soul Master."

Facing Shui Bing'er, who had already introduced herself, Xiao Yan inwardly complained about the strange rule that if you didn't reveal your own soul power when someone shared their information, you would be considered to be looking down on them. At the same time, he revealed his information for the fourteenth time.

"start!"

"Frozen!"

At Huo Hao's command, Shui Bing'er let out a delicate shout, and her first soul ring flashed.

Before he could make a move, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a chill run through his body. The next moment, a block of ice as tall as a person appeared in Xiao Yan's position. For the first time, Xiao Yan, who was always the one freezing others, was frozen.

However, before the audience could react, the block of ice that had frozen Xiao Yan melted, and at the same time, Shui Bing'er, who hadn't left her spot immediately, was frozen.

'The feedback is a bit off...'

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and the first spirit ring he had disguised lit up. A purplish-red parrot quickly rushed towards Shui Bing'er.

Before the Flame Parrot could get close, an ice ring suddenly appeared, radiating outwards from Shui Bing'er. Although Xiao Yan detonated the Flame Parrot immediately, all the sparks, including the ball of flame, were pushed away, leaving only a few small puddles on the arena.

Some tiny sparks, without the aid of battle aura, were simply annihilated.

It was at this moment that the purple ice crystal that had trapped all the Soul Masters shattered. When the crack pierced through the entire block of ice, Shui Bing'er, clad in crystal-clear blue ice armor, reappeared on the arena.

Under the light, the ice crystal armor shimmered, making Shui Bing'er look heroic and spirited, like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.

brush--

Tiny flames hurtled towards Shui Bing'er like shooting stars.

With a light touch of her toes on the ground, she leaped gracefully into the air, dodging the flames as her delicate body spun in mid-air, creating a beautiful sight.

Ice Arrow!

Her footsteps landed on the small puddle where the ice rings had melted, sending water splashing high into the air. As Shui Bing'er's soul rings lit up again, the splashes condensed into sharp ice shards in the air.

hiss hiss hiss hiss—

Countless ice shards flew towards Xiao Yan like raindrops.

Seeing the oncoming ice shards, Xiao Yan casually waved his hand, and a curtain of fire instantly formed. In a moment, the ice shards turned into gas and disappeared. Xiao Yan even carefully cleared away all the small puddles under Shui Bing'er's feet and around her.

Seeing her attack blocked, Shui Bing'er's lips curled up slightly. She had naturally expected this situation.

Frozen!

The first soul skill was activated again, but this time the target of the ice was not Xiao Yan, but the water vapor above Xiao Yan's fire curtain—

Countless ice shards condensed again and attacked Xiao Yan once more at a speed several times faster than before.
