Chapter 201: Feng Xiaotian's Talent

What no one expected was that the Tianshui Team, after Team Leader Shui Bing'er was injured, simply conceded defeat.

Without expending much effort, they won this match, and that result was also quite good for Tie Li.

The next match was the Thunder Team versus the Shenfeng Team.

Both teams' strength could rank within the top five.

What puzzled Tie Li was that since the Promotion Match began, he hadn't seen Yu Tianxin at all, including the Four Ring Soul Ancestor that possesses the Thunder Spider martial soul.

They were still visible in the Preselection, but now they have disappeared.

More precisely, since Lei Ying appeared on the Thunder Team, Yu Tianxin has not been seen.

Including this match against the Shenfeng Team.

Every member each team fielded was of Four Ring Soul Ancestor caliber.

The intensity of the battle truly caught everyone's eye.

After Huo Wushuang defeated a member of the Thunder Team, the Thunder side was left with two people, whereas the Shenfeng Team still had four.

In terms of numbers, the Shenfeng Team was undoubtedly at an advantage.

The sixth contestant the Thunder Team sent was still a Four Ring Soul Ancestor.

Thus, Lei Ying, this Soul King, is very likely to be the last to appear.

Huo Wushuang's soul power is below thirty percent; his current task is to wear down the opponent.

After several rounds of clash, Huo Wushuang, whose soul power was exhausted, withdrew from the arena.

The Shenfeng Team sent out a new member who, upon entering, launched a full‑force attack, giving the opponent no chance to react and aiming to defeat them as quickly as possible.

The result was as they expected; under the Blast Hair attack, the Thunder Team's member was eliminated.

All eyes fell on Lei Ying.

"Heh, today I'll let you see the gap between a Soul Ancestor and a Soul King." Lei Ying leapt onto the competition arena.

The Shenfeng Team's mission changed, focusing on consumption to pave the way for the last entrant, Feng Xiaotian.

Round after round of wearing down still consumed more than thirty percent of Lei Ying's soul power and stamina.

When Feng Xiaotian stepped onto the stage, Lei Ying couldn't help but flash a cold smile.

"I'll let you know that in the face of absolute strength, your tactics are utterly laughable."

"Is that so? Then you, Soul King, better not lose to me, a Soul Ancestor."

"You'll find out soon enough."

Lei Ying's five Soul Rings were highly conspicuous, and everyone thought Lei Ying was the true winner of this match.

At the start of the battle, Lei Ying displayed his Soul King‑level power, brimming with suppressive force.

Feng Xiaotian seemed to retreat repeatedly, yet he countered Lei Ying's offensives one by one.

Hm?

Tie Li couldn't help but let out a gasp, his gaze toward Feng Xiaotian shifting.

Besides Tie Li, Tang San also noticed this.

Lei Ying, present on the field, felt a few extra pangs of anxiety.

Damn, he's clearly about to give up, so why can't he be eliminated yet?

Feng Xiaotian's body and wings reached a perfect harmony, and his counterattack began.

It is his self‑created soul skill, also his strongest attack method.

Gale‑Thirty‑Six Slash!

He continuously stacked speed and gravity to increase attack power, but his self‑created soul skill had undergone a subtle change compared to before.

It was the shadow of Thunder Dragon Six Tones and Haotian Nine Absolutes!

Back during the Preselection, Feng Xiaotian witnessed Tie Li's stance when unleashing Shock Sound, and the overwhelming force when confronting Tang San's Guan Cipher, which gave him deep insight into his self‑created soul skill.

During a one‑month off‑season, he tried to extract the parts he needed from the two and fuse them into his own Gale‑Thirty‑Six Slash!

Feng Xiaotian is definitely a genius; having seen them only once, he could still mine the needed elements from external techniques.

"You're asking for death!"

Being forced to retreat repeatedly by a Soul Ancestor left Lei Ying unable to accept it for a moment.

His Soul Rings lit up in succession as he attempted to break Feng Xiaotian's self‑created soul skill.

Coming from a great sect, Lei Ying should have had ample means to respond, but during his sect years, he gave up.

In Lei Ying's view, the number of Soul Rings equated to absolute strength; rather than spending time learning sect combat techniques, he preferred to use it to raise his Soul Power Level.

But at this moment, Lei Ying's thinking changed.

When previously facing the Thunder Team's Thunder Dragon Six Tones, he could still attribute the cause to Tie Li's Soul Power Level and martial soul quality.

His Soul Power Level is higher than mine, his martial soul quality better; isn't it normal that he beat me?

If my Soul Power Level reached Level 60, would he still be my opponent?

After losing to Tie Li, Lei Ying thought so in his heart.

If he admitted the strength of Thunder Dragon Six Tones, it would be denying his former self; the conceited Lei Ying naturally wouldn't do that, deliberately ignoring it in his mind.

Feng Xiaotian's attacks had stacked to an extreme degree, each slash reaching Soul King level power.

Each hit kept stacking, about to exceed Lei Ying's tolerance.

"He hasn't learned Thunder Axe or similar sect combat techniques?"

Tang Lie looked at Yu Xiaogang with some surprise; given Lei Ying's talent, it would certainly attract sect attention, so teaching him a combat‑technique masterpiece is normal.

Lei Ying's countermeasures, when faced with the stacked Gale‑Thirty‑Six Slash, were so powerless.

He merely relied on soul skills to retaliate.

A Soul Master's foundation is indeed the martial soul and Soul Rings, but the age of the Soul Rings determines the ceiling of soul skills.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head; he had long left the sect, so he knew little about anything inside the sect.

"His self‑created soul skill is somewhat interesting, but it has many restrictions."

Feng Xiaotian's attacks grew ever more terrifying, and Lei Ying grew ever more strained.

"Ah!"

A wail rang out; Feng Xiaotian's Gale Slash tore through Lei Ying's defense, carving a deep wound on his body.

Feng Xiaotian did not stop; the opponent was ultimately a Soul King, and abandoning the stacked Gale Slash while the opponent intended to continue the match would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

"Stop, we surrender."

The Team‑leading Teacher of the Thunder Team shouted immediately, and Feng Xiaotian also let out a sigh of relief; he could not guarantee how powerful the next Gale Slash would be—whether it would grievously wound the opponent or …

A gasp rose from the arena: the Thunder Team, a Soul King of the Six Soul Sect, actually lost?

This top‑ranked team on paper lost to the Shenfeng Team?

The Four Ring Soul Sect defeated the Five Ring Soul King?

"Great, we won."

Members of the Shenfeng Team rushed onto the arena, and Huo Wu's fiery body threw itself into Feng Xiaotian's arms.

Originally, after using the Gale Slash, Feng Xiaotian felt a stabbing pain, but at this moment it seemed to vanish suddenly.

The Team‑leading Teacher of the Shenfeng Team was also excited; although this victory over Lei Ying owed some credit to the team members, the main force remained Feng Xiaotian.

Winning a Soul King with the cultivation of a Soul Sect was enough to explain everything.

"This Feng Xiaotian is indeed remarkable," Bai Baoshan praised.

Zhao Tianhe also nodded; his thoughts were the same as Bai Baoshan's.

Tie Li merely smiled faintly; the Gale Thirty‑Six Consecutive Slash requires stacking to unleash its full power, and this drawback is very obvious.

Back then, Feng Xiaotian's Gale Thirty‑Six Slash was instantly crushed under Tang San's Guan Cipher.
