Chapter 99: The Dance of Wind and Clouds

"Hmph! Third Soul Skill, Scale Beast Explosion!"

A verdant storm suddenly erupted from Feng Ji's body, sending an off-guard Qin Jian flying.

Then, the second soul ring at his feet lit up as well: "Second Soul Skill, Wind Blade!"

Two sharp blades extended from his arms, his eyes locked firmly on the Qin Jian opposite him.

"This time, I'll hack you to pieces!"

The next moment, his speed and strength both surged, and the rapidly sweeping Wind Blade slashed fiercely at Qin Jian's martial soul.

"Zzzzt!"

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of collision, sparks flew in all directions.

Qin Jian was knocked back, barely landing on the edge of the battle platform, drawing a gasp from Shui Bing'er and the others.

"Good! A beautiful counterattack! Student Feng Ji has displayed the power of an Assault System Soul Elder. Under the enhancement of three soul skills, he has completely crushed Student Qin Jian, who only has two soul skills."

The commentator's words easily ignited the enthusiasm of all the Shenfeng Academy students: "Shenfeng must win! Shenfeng must win! Shenfeng must win!"

"Swish, swish!"

Seeing Feng Ji charging over again, Qin Jian frowned: "It seems I can't keep saving my soul power; I'll just have to finish this quickly!"

Clang, clang, clang!

Sword Qi suddenly swept around Qin Jian, and the erupting sharp Sword Radiance made the previously excited audience fall silent as cicadas in winter.

"Sword Qi... Cutting!"

A streak of Sword Qi like a ray of light instantly cut in front of Feng Ji.

Since all his soul skills were already released, he could only resist head-on: "I don't believe you can cut through my defense!"

He crossed his arms, and his entire body's soul power erupted without reservation.

"Boom!"

Soul power and Sword Qi exploded simultaneously, and intense fluctuations swept across the entire battle platform!

"Pfft!"

The next moment, a soft sound came from Feng Ji's body, and the students widened their eyes.

Then they saw Feng Ji, who had been majestic and murderous just a minute ago, fall down just like that, hitting the ground with a thud...

The entire Soul Fighting Arena fell into silence once again.

"Well fought!"

Only Huo Wu's shrill shout echoed everywhere, causing everyone from Shenfeng Academy to darken their faces.

"Come, next."

Qin Jian gestured with his finger in a very cooperative manner, instantly infuriating all the Shenfeng Academy students.

"Beat him!"

"Take him down!"

"......"

The crowd was surging, and the entire Soul Fighting Arena was filled with howling.

But the expressions of the Shenfeng Academy higher-ups on the high platform were somewhat serious.

"This Qin Jian is extremely troublesome..."

The commentator teacher whispered: "Now we can only see if Feng Yunwu can achieve the victory we expected."

"Rest assured..."

The Dean, who looked to have a ruthless face, suddenly said indifferently: "You don't need to worry. My proposal has already been approved. Even if he fights to the end, he will not get the glory he wants."

As soon as he said this, the higher-ups smiled one after another, seemingly truly relieved.

Yan Zhining, on another viewing platform to the side, noticed this scene and for some reason felt uneasy: "I just feel that Shenfeng Academy has other plans... What exactly are they plotting..."

And on the battle platform, the fourth student finally appeared, and it was actually another female student.

Qin Jian couldn't help but curl his lips: "If they were all male students, it would be harder to deal with. Since they gave me two female students, my chances are even greater..."

"My soul power is now at sixty percent, but my Spirit Power has dropped by half. I can't drag out the next two battles for too long," Qin Jian thought to himself.

Hum, hum, hum!

The standard configuration of Yellow, Yellow, and Purple soul rings lit up from the feet of the female student opposite.

"Feng Yunwu, Level 35 Assault System Battle Soul Venerable, martial soul Storm."

She watched Qin Jian silently and said gently: "Your soul power is quite depleted. I shouldn't have come on stage at this time, but unfortunately, due to the academy's requirements, as a team member, I cannot refuse. I'm sorry."

Qin Jian blinked, feeling a bit of goodwill toward this Feng Yunwu.

"Is her martial soul Storm? There's such a martial soul... I wonder what kind of soul skills it will have..." Shui Bing'er on the platform was a bit worried.

Yan Zhining frowned and said: "Qin Jian's state has dropped by at least fifty percent now, and the second-to-last student specially arranged by Shenfeng Academy will definitely not be that simple. I hope he can still win against her smoothly."

"The fourth soul fight, begin!"

The voice of the guest commentator rang out, and everyone went quiet, countless eyes focused on the arena.

But neither Qin Jian nor Feng Yunwu made a move for a moment. They actually looked at each other, and then Feng Yunwu smiled: "Qin Jian, are you not going to attack?"

"All my soul skills have been exposed, while I know nothing about yours. How could I dare to attack first?" Qin Jian shrugged.

"But if I make a move..."

Feng Yunwu gathered her hands at her chest, and the shadow of a storm gradually appeared on her body.

"I'm afraid you won't have another chance..."

Before she finished speaking, the third soul ring at her feet rose sharply: "Third Soul Skill, Storm Dance!"

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The violent wind vortex rioted the next moment, carrying Feng Yunwu in the center as she slowly rose into mid-air.

"Qin Jian, taking advantage of someone's precarious position is not what I wish to do, but I cannot set aside the honor of the academy. Please be careful."

Feng Yunwu's voice became somewhat ethereal: "I cannot fully control the power of the storm. If you cannot hold on, please leave the battle platform immediately."

Qin Jian's expression became grave.

The repeated warnings from this opponent made him wary; perhaps Feng Xiaotian, who was left for last, was not the trump card of Shenfeng Academy, but the Feng Yunwu before him was?

"Our student Feng Yunwu is very kind. By repeatedly reminding the opponent before unleashing a soul skill, she has excellently demonstrated the demeanor of our Shenfeng Academy. Please give a round of applause for student Feng Yunwu."

The bizarre commentator's voice rang out across the entire arena again, and the students cooperated by applauding; the entire Soul Fighting Arena was filled with cheers for Shenfeng Academy.

"Sss, sss, sss!"

Just at this moment, seven or eight wind vortexes suddenly split off from Feng Yunwu's martial soul, sweeping across the entire arena and rushing toward Qin Jian as well.

"These wind vortexes... they cannot be taken head-on!"

Qin Jian held his martial soul Sword and dodged everywhere, but those wind vortexes ignored everything and simply rampaged across the battle platform, forcing him into perilous situations and nearly making him fall off the platform.

"It seems our student Feng Yunwu's Third Soul Skill has brought great trouble to student Qin Jian. Will he concede because of this? Let us wait and see!"

The commentator's voice rose sharply, prompting the students of Shenfeng Academy to let out wolf-howls once again...

"Watch this, Sword Qi!"

With nowhere left to dodge, Qin Jian finally erupted with Sword Qi, hacking out wave after wave directly at the incoming wind vortexes.

"Shh, shh, shh!"

However, a scene that surprised him appeared: the wind vortexes struck by the Sword Qi did not dissipate, but instead continued to rotate, gradually dragging the Sword Qi into the rotation as well, and subsequently sweeping it across the entire arena.

"Sss, sss..."

The combined rampage of the wind vortexes and the Sword Qi nearly caused Qin Jian to be injured by his own Sword Qi.

"If that's the case, then I can only deal with you directly..."
