Chapter 45: Advising Feng Xiaotian

Chapter 45: Advising Feng Xiaotian

With a long howl, Feng Xiaotian moved, his body shooting forward like a meteor chasing the moon. A trail of green light extended behind him, his speed incredible.

Xiao Yu squinted, fully releasing his spiritual power to judge Feng Xiaotian's trajectory.

The weakness of Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill had already been explained in the original story. This self-created soul skill continuously accumulates power with sustained activation. If interrupted at the initial stage, its power cannot be fully realized.

"Third Soul Skill, Gale Shatter!"

Relying on his far superior spiritual power, Xiao Yu captured Feng Xiaotian's attacking figure. The third soul ring on Xiao Yu's body instantly emitted a dazzling light. With the Underworld King Sword in hand, his figure shot out like lightning, leaving only a black afterimage.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu's Underworld King Sword had pierced Feng Xiaotian's wings. Under the powerful destructive force of the Underworld King Sword, the wings formed by Feng Xiaotian's soul power disintegrated into specks of white light and shattered instantly.

With a miserable cry, Feng Xiaotian was thrown backward by the immense force, falling from the platform and hitting the ground hard.

"Brother Feng!"

Huo Wushuang rushed forward to support Feng Xiaotian and check his condition. Huo Wu, who was a step behind, looked at Feng Xiaotian with concern. Although she didn't like him much, Shenfeng Academy and Blazing Fire Academy were close allies, and she didn't want anything bad to happen to him.

"Cough, cough, I'm fine!"

Feng Xiaotian coughed violently a few times, calming the turbulent blood within his body, and cupped his hands towards Xiao Yu, "Thank you for showing mercy!"

Feng Xiaotian knew very well that Xiao Yu had held back with that strike. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just his soul power-formed wings that were destroyed, and his fall from the platform wouldn't have been so simple.

Xiao Yu nodded and turned to the referee, "Can you announce the result now?"

"Oh, oh!!"

The referee snapped out of his shock and quickly raised his hand to announce, "In this soul master duel, Xiao Yu wins!"

The referee's voice was like a fuse, instantly igniting the audience outside the platform. Countless people began to cheer. People admire strength, and Xiao Yu had clearly won their admiration with his prowess!

However, Xiao Yu didn't expect that among the envious gazes, there was one pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.

The owner of these eyes looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall at around 190 cm, with short black hair standing upright like steel needles.

His hands were long and strong, and though he wasn't handsome, his face showed little expression, as if his facial muscles were stiff. Dressed in a blue tight outfit with no decorations, he was Yu Tianheng, the third-generation direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.

Yu Tianheng stared at Xiao Yu for a long time before turning to the family bodyguard beside him, "Uncle Bolen, are you sure it was him who ordered the death of Uncle Kun in the Star Dou Forest?"

The bodyguard beside Yu Tianheng was one of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan members who had followed Yu Xiaokun into the Star Dou Forest to seize a soul bone and had managed to escape.

Hearing Yu Tianheng's question, he nodded heavily, "There's no mistake. Although it was the Contra by his side who acted, it was indeed this boy who gave the order to execute Yu Xiaokun."

"Good, good, good!"

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and repeated 'good' three times, "To think he dared to kill a direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. This boy must have a death wish!"

"Uncle Bolen, return to the sect immediately!"

### Chapter 45: Advising Feng Xiaotian

Yu Tianheng looked around and, after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, continued, "I have already inquired. This kid has a good relationship with Dugu Bo. It is said that Dugu Yan's martial soul evolution was thanks to him. Combined with the soul ring configuration on him, I am almost certain that this kid has a significant fortuitous encounter. If our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family could obtain this opportunity, perhaps the ranking of the Upper Three Sects would change soon. After you return, tell everything to Grandpa and ask him to personally take action. Whether for the future of the family or for the blood feud of Uncle Kun, we must not let this kid escape."

"Yes!"

The bodyguard nodded and quietly withdrew from the crowd, leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy and heading straight for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's headquarters at True Dragon Mountain.

At this time, Xiao Yu didn't notice Yu Tianheng's small movements. After defeating Feng Xiaotian, he also jumped off the platform, pulled Ye Lingling aside, and walked over to Huo Wu and the other two, explaining the whole story.

"So, it was because of your sect's arrangements that you didn't come to apply to our Blazing Fire Academy?"

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

Xiao Yu nodded. Although there were still some inaccuracies, this was the most he could tell Huo Wu.

"I see!"

After listening to Xiao Yu's explanation, Feng Xiaotian suddenly understood and, with a smile, walked forward to pat Xiao Yu on the shoulder, "I'm really sorry, Brother Xiao. I misunderstood you. It seems we got to know each other through a fight, haha!"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly. Although Feng Xiaotian was somewhat arrogant and a bit of a sycophant to Huo Wu, he was not inherently bad.

Out of goodwill towards Feng Xiaotian, Xiao Yu didn't mind offering some advice, "Just now, was that move your self-created soul skill?"

"Yes!"

Feng Xiaotian nodded proudly. Unlike soul skills granted by soul rings, self-created soul skills do not naturally form. Any soul master capable of creating their own soul skill is undoubtedly a genius, and this was Feng Xiaotian's proudest achievement: "My Gale Slash is not yet perfected, but I will work harder to refine it. Next time, I won't be so easily defeated."

"You are on the wrong path!"

Xiao Yu sighed and kindly reminded him, "Your self-created soul skill is clearly based on your third soul skill, similar to the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method of the Haotian Clan, which gradually strengthens with continuous strikes. But have you considered that the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method uses the Haotian Hammer martial soul as the main body, and as the soul master's strength increases, the hammer technique also improves?

But you are different. The third soul skill can only ever be a third soul skill.

While it seems powerful now at the Soul Ancestor stage with a thousand-year soul skill, what about when your soul power advances to Soul Emperor, Soul Sage, or even higher?

When fighting against soul masters of the same level, how effective do you think a self-created soul skill based on a thousand-year soul skill will be?"

Feng Xiaotian's expression changed. Anyone capable of creating their own soul skill couldn't be foolish. He had just been overly excited about his creation and hadn't thought it through. Xiao Yu's reminder was like a wake-up call, clearing his mind.

"Feng Xiaotian, I've heard of you. You're the genius with innate full soul power, a rarity in Shenfeng Academy in a hundred years!"

Xiao Yu continued, "But you are already eighteen years old and only at level thirty-seven. Do you think this cultivation speed matches your innate full soul power? The period before twenty is the golden age for soul master cultivation. You are wasting the best training years for a flashy self-created soul skill. Do you think it's worth it?"

Seeing Feng Xiaotian waver, Xiao Yu pressed on. In the original story, five years after the Soul Master Tournament, Feng Xiaotian managed to increase his soul power from level forty-four to sixty-one without the aid of any immortal herbs.

If Tang San hadn't activated his second cheat, the Sea God Island trial, Feng Xiaotian might have actually caught up.

Xiao Yu's advice was partly out of pity for such a talented soul master potentially ending up as an ordinary background character and partly to create trouble for Tang San in the Soul Master Tournament.

Xiao Yu was curious to see the outcome if a Soul Ancestor-level Tang San faced a Soul King or even higher-level Feng Xiaotian.

"In a soul master duel, excellent soul skills can give you an advantage, but the true deciding factor is still the soul master's soul power level.

Even if you perfect your self-created soul skill, while you neglect your soul power cultivation, your opponent is focusing on increasing their soul power. Eventually, the gap in soul power will widen.

Brother Feng, do you think that if your soul power level is ten levels lower than your opponent's, your final move of your self-created soul skill, even if perfected, will be enough to win?"

Feng Xiaotian, who had been merely wavering, now fell into complete silence. It was clear that Xiao Yu's words had hit home.

"Moreover, the weakness of your self-created soul skill is too obvious. It requires continuous buildup to unleash its full power. If interrupted at the initial stage, it loses all threat. I've said all I can, Brother Feng, take care."

Feng Xiaotian remained silent for a long time, then suddenly nodded heavily and bowed deeply to Xiao Yu, "Brother Xiao, thank you for your guidance!"

. . . . . . . . . .

Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng's bodyguard left Heaven Dou Royal Academy, rushing back to True Dragon Mountain, the headquarters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.

He immediately reported everything in detail to the clan leader, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, who possessed level ninety-five soul power.

After listening to the report, Yu Yuanzhen immediately issued an order, "Summon the sect elders and follow me to Heaven Dou City immediately."

The murder of a direct disciple of the family, the unprecedented thousand-year second ring and ten-thousand-year fourth ring breaking the soul ring configuration norms, and the treasure that could upgrade snake-type martial souls to dragon-type martial souls—any one of these issues might have made him hesitate out of respect for Dugu Bo. But with all three combined, Yu Yuanzhen didn't hesitate to make his decision.
