Watching his opponent unleash the Thunder Spider martial spirit, Feng Xiaotian knew that Tang San, on the other side, was closely observing the match. After all, two of Tang San's soul skills originated from spider-type soul beasts, and his external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances, also came from such creatures.

During the battle against Thunderclap Academy, Feng Xiaotian didn't need to reveal his full strength. The soul skills he had already shown were enough to handle the situation.

Having just taken a moment to adjust his breathing in midair, his soul power had recovered quite a bit. Although he hadn't reached his peak, dealing with the next two Soul Elders wouldn't be a problem.

The referee signaled the start of the match.

Lei Dong didn't move right away. Instead, he looked at Feng Xiaotian and laughed, saying:

"Last time, you had your teammates helping you, and we lost to your Wind Blade Cage. But this time, don't think you can trap me with it!"

In the preliminaries, the members of Thunderclap Academy had been defeated by Feng Xiaotian's Wind Blade Cage, which led to their loss against the Godwind Academy team he led.

Having suffered once already, they wouldn't be as passive when facing the same technique again.

Even if they were trapped again, they planned to drain a significant amount of Feng Xiaotian's soul power in the process.

However, Feng Xiaotian had no intention of using the Wind Blade Cage to defeat Lei Dong.

Against Lei Dong, the Tornado Storm technique wasn't a good choice either.

The Thunder Spider martial spirit allowed Lei Dong to plant his eight spider legs firmly into the ground when fused with it. Trying to blow him off the battlefield would cost Feng Xiaotian a considerable amount of soul power.

He had a more energy-efficient strategy in mind.

"To be honest with you," Feng Xiaotian said, "even if you came prepared, you still wouldn't be able to break out of my Wind Blade Cage. It's evolved into a deadly weapon now. But here in the arena, using it against you wouldn't allow me to exploit its full potential. It'd be a waste of soul power."

"Evolved? A deadly weapon?" Lei Dong was startled.

He had already experienced the terrifying power of the Wind Blade Cage. Under Feng Xiaotian's control, it could compress and shrink infinitely, even shredding what it trapped.

The fact that this self-created soul skill had evolved in such a short time meant it must have become even more powerful.

Not wanting to give Feng Xiaotian a chance to initiate his Tornado Storm, Lei Dong launched an attack without hesitation. His first soul skill, Thunder Silk, came into play.

Two lightning-charged spider threads shot toward Feng Xiaotian like swords.

With the enhancement of his speed, those attacks were nothing to Feng Xiaotian.

Leaping into the air, he activated Wind Slash, cutting through the Thunder Silk with ease.

"Your Thunder Silk is useless against me. Why not try something stronger?" Feng Xiaotian taunted.

Provoked by Feng Xiaotian's words, Lei Dong's third soul ring suddenly lit up.

His third soul skill, Thunder Web, activated.

Under his control, a 20-meter-wide electric web rapidly surged toward Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian smiled slightly. Using his Ling Bo Microstep technique, he dodged effortlessly, his body light as a swallow, slipping through the gaps in the Thunder Web.

He was so fast that everything happened in the blink of an eye.

This sight shocked the members of Thunderclap Academy.

Although there were gaps in Lei Dong's Thunder Web, the entire surface was covered with electricity. Even if someone passed through the gaps, they should still suffer from the electric current.

Yet Feng Xiaotian acted as if nothing had happened.

How could this be?

It made sense that the intangible wind element wasn't conductive, but could his physical body also resist electricity?

Actually, all of this was because Feng Xiaotian's physical state had undergone a transformation.

Just a few days ago, Feng Xiaotian had broken through to the eighth level of the Nine Suns Divine Art, achieving the Indestructible Vajra Body.

Now, he possessed the Indestructible Vajra Body, which allowed him to withstand elemental attacks from opponents of the same level. Since Lei Dong was only a Soul Elder, his soul power was more than ten levels lower than Feng Xiaotian's, meaning his lightning couldn't harm Feng Xiaotian's physical body at all.

Everyone was curious about this, but Tang San's observation was more precise.

Although Feng Xiaotian's Ling Bo Microstep was incredibly fast, Tang San, using his Purple Demon Eyes, noticed that as Feng Xiaotian passed through the Thunder Web, his body became as thin as a sheet of paper.

What was that all about?

Tang San trusted his Purple Demon Eyes completely—there was no mistake in what he saw.

However, it was truly unbelievable.

From the first two exchanges, Tang San could already see Feng Xiaotian's strategy. He was using his movement techniques to wear down Lei Dong's soul power.

As a soul master with lightning attributes, every time Lei Dong unleashed a soul skill, it consumed a large amount of soul power.

But Feng Xiaotian was simply using clever footwork to dodge each attack.

Without expending much soul power, he could win this battle effortlessly.

In addition to Ling Bo Microstep and his Indestructible Vajra Body, Feng Xiaotian had just employed the fourth level of the Nine Suns Divine Art: the Bone-Shrinking Technique.

Looking at Lei Dong, who appeared bewildered, Feng Xiaotian taunted him further:

"They say Thunderclap Academy's burst power is the strongest. In the preliminaries, you didn't have a chance to show off your attack skills because you were trapped by my Wind Blade Cage. I'm giving you a chance now, but you're not making good use of it. Don't you have a fourth soul skill? Go ahead and use it."

Lei Dong, enraged by Feng Xiaotian's words, gritted his teeth as his fourth soul ring suddenly lit up.

His fourth soul skill, the Binding God Ring, activated.

This skill was similar to Feng Xiaotian's Wind Blade Cage, capable of locking onto its target once released.

A blue ring of lightning enveloped Feng Xiaotian.

Under Lei Dong's control, the ring continued to tighten and compress, the space around Feng Xiaotian growing smaller and smaller.

In an instant, a whirlwind kicked up in the arena.

Feng Xiaotian activated his Wind Column Barrier, creating a protective shield that completely separated him from the lightning ring.

Lei Dong, struggling to control the shrinking lightning ring, desperately tried to compress the wind column encasing Feng Xiaotian.

But no matter how hard he tried, the lightning ring could no longer shrink.

After all, Feng Xiaotian was a Soul King with two ten-thousand-year soul rings, and his soul power completely overwhelmed Lei Dong's.

Having used three consecutive soul skills, Lei Dong had already expended a significant amount of soul power. If this continued, he would soon be drained.

Finally, Lei Dong couldn't hold on any longer and withdrew his attack.

"If you can't keep going, just admit defeat," Feng Xiaotian said.

"No! As long as I have a single drop of soul power left, I will never admit defeat!"

Lei Dong's heart was filled with bitterness. This time, he had been utterly crushed. Feng Xiaotian hadn't even used any of the soul skills granted by his soul rings.

"I was planning to kick you off the stage myself, but I'm too lazy to move. Never mind, I'll just use this to send you off."

As he spoke, Feng Xiaotian gathered wind power in his palms, forming a spiraling wind orb. He launched it like a cannonball, hitting Lei Dong squarely and sending him flying out of the arena.

The scene once again stunned everyone watching.

In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi was speechless for a moment before marveling:

"This Feng Xiaotian is truly remarkable. To think he could manipulate wind elements to such an extreme degree—this is the true allure of the Limit Stream. It seems he really does have the potential to become the leading figure of the Limit Stream."
