Chapter 167

Feng Xiao Tian's wings fluttered lightly in the air as he gazed down at Tang San: "Tang San, you are indeed stronger than I imagined, but even if you were a bit stronger, I will definitely defeat you today."

Afterwards, only Feng Xiao Tian's voice came from the passage: "Now, I will attack you with my self-created soul skill, named: Gale Magic Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes."

Listening to his words, Tang San held the Haotian Hammer steady there, replying to Feng Xiao Tian with just two words: "Come on."

Compared to Tang San's composure, the four words "self-created soul skill" undoubtedly shocked the entire audience.

You should know, although self-created soul skills cannot naturally form like those bestowed by soul rings, any Soul Master capable of creating a self-created soul skill is undoubtedly a prodigy of extraordinary talent.

Self-created soul skills, arising from combining one's own circumstances, are the most fitting to the Soul Master's own abilities; therefore, they are also more practical.

Feng Xiao Tian looked at the equally confident Tang San, feeling a faint strangeness inside; he saw the twin wolf light-shadow behind him gradually merging with Feng Xiao Tian's body—that was his second soul skill, Twin Wolf Possession, in its complete form.

In this state, his attack, defense, and agility all increase by fifty percent.

Furthermore, with his third soul skill, Gale Double Wings, his condition has already reached its peak; only with the assistance of these two soul skills can his self-created soul skill's power be fully exerted.

From a certain perspective, his self-created soul skill is certainly not inferior to his own fifth soul skill, and it consumes somewhat less soul power.

So, to conserve soul power, Feng Xiao Tian chose to use this self-created soul skill.

In a sky-shaking long howl, Feng Xiao Tian moved.

His body descended from the heavens like a meteor chasing the moon; strangely, his massive body with unfolded wings made no sound during the fall, the pervasive green light now fully retracted inward, the wings seeming to turn into two sickle blades, flashing with a bluish-green cold light.

At this moment, Feng Xiao Tian seemed to have his body and wings merge into a perfect form; this is the change brought by his self-created soul skill, making his essence, energy, and spirit seem to unify, maximizing soul power conservation while unleashing a stronger attack.

And Feng Xiao Tian's extreme-speed flight at this moment produced no sound at all; what does the absence of sound signify? It means wind resistance affects him even less, or that his speed is even greater.

Only a top-tier wind-attribute Soul Master like Feng Xiao Tian can thus correctly find the optimal flight angle from the wind.

At this moment, the sharp edges of Feng Xiao Tian's wings glimmered with a faint green light under the sun; the so-called Gale Magic Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes obviously emanate from these twin wings.

Tang San did not foolishly wait there; he saw his Haotian Hammer, at some point, retracted, replaced by Blue Silver Grass shooting up, turning into countless vines that directly entwined toward the descending Feng Xiao Tian.

At this moment, the soul ring lit on Tang San's body was precisely the purple fourth soul ring of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Prison!"

This is one advantage of having twin martial souls: Tang San can now switch martial souls to convert soul power, equivalent to a person possessing two batteries; although the two martial souls cannot be used simultaneously, switching martial souls does not consume soul power.

Faced with the sudden Blue Silver Prison, Feng Xiao Tian's seemingly unstoppable motion in the air subtly shifted slightly, changing his position at the instant he was about to touch the Blue Silver Grass.

A bluish-green light flashed on the wing, instantly cutting countless Blue Silver Grass strands as smoothly and smoothly as a knife through tofu, because Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was too weak.

The vines that had been wrapping away could not hinder Feng Xiao Tian's advance at all; they were all severed, rushing straight toward Tang San.

Feng Xiao Tian's figure was not affected in the slightest, and Tang San's mental calculations were completely thwarted.

Originally, Tang San intended to use the Blue Silver Grass to somewhat restrict Feng Xiao Tian; even if it could affect him a little, Tang San would then have more opportunity to launch an offensive with the Haotian Hammer.

But now it seems his Blue Silver Grass truly offers no chance against Feng Xiao Tian, a top-tier genius Soul Master. Tang San wonders, if he had not listened to Elder Gu's advice back then, relying only on his current forty-two level soul power and such worthless Blue Silver Grass, could he really pass the promotion tournament?

Not to mention Feng Xiao Tian, even prodigies like Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er he likely couldn't match; fortunately, meeting Elder Gu gave him another life choice, and even sponsored him a soul bone and two Revival Pills; otherwise, Tang San would have no standing on the stage to contend with such a genius as Feng Xiao Tian. This battle is not just for himself, but also to not let down others' expectations—fight to the death!!!

The right-hand Blue Silver Grass martial soul instantly retracted, replaced by the left-hand Haotian Hammer; Tang San gripped the hammer handle, turned his body halfway, Tang San gripped the hammer with both hands, his calves exerted force, leg driving waist, waist driving back, back driving arm, his whole body in a half-rotating stance, the two-meter-long massive Haotian Hammer in his hands swept up from below, directly meeting Feng Xiao Tian's first slash.

Boom!

Tang San's hammer strike used no soul skill, but rather a power technique, or a hammer method, named—Chaotic Wind.

Exactly, Tang San will use the Chaotic Wind hammer technique to counter Feng Xiao Tian's Gale Magic Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes!

With a boom, Feng Xiao Tian's figure shot up into the sky; however, at this moment both Tang San and Feng Xiao Tian had a new assessment of each other's strength in their hearts, as if the previous attacks were merely probing, and the real main course is yet to come.

Although Feng Xiao Tian was blown away, Tang San also fared poorly; his feet sank completely into the ground, a faint red hue rose on his face, and his qi and blood surged upward.

The thoughts in both their hearts flashed like lightning; Feng Xiao Tian's attack will not cease, and Tang San's attack must continue as well—this is a true battle.

Because their strengths are evenly matched! The wind-assisted soaring Feng Xiao Tian did not, as Tang San imagined, rise again to high altitude; his body merely made a large turn in midair, and his right wing had already slashed down again.

This slash released, Feng Xiao Tian's single wing flickered continuously in the air, constantly changing its trajectory, just to dodge Tang San's Haotian Hammer.

The Haotian Hammer's hardness does not mean his body is hard; such a domineering blade like a sickle, if it struck his body, even Tang San's current physique could not defend against it.

If his body were hit, even Tang San now could not escape being split in two by a single blow.

Likewise, if Tang San's Haotian Hammer struck Feng Xiao Tian's body, even if he didn't die, he would suffer grave injury.

Compared to Feng Xiao Tian's swiftness, Tang San's speed naturally cannot keep up, but at this moment a purple light appeared in his eyes, as he silently stared at the descending wing.

"Violet Extreme Demon Pupil!"

Just as the wing came within less than a meter of him, his hands rose again, and the Haotian Hammer in his hands boomed forth simultaneously.

The Haotian Hammer collided again with the wind-blade sickle, emitting a thud; Feng Xiao Tian flew up once more with an incredulous look.

He simply could not fathom how, despite his utmost control, Tang San could still find the position to strike beneath his wing—this was nearly impossible.

Nevertheless, Feng Xiao Tian's speed, though swift, he does not know that Tang San, hailing from the Tang Sect, possesses eyesight beyond comparison of anyone in this world; not to mention his wing blades, even if countless hidden weapons flew simultaneously from all directions, Tang San could shoot them all down.

This is certainly no boast; in the original work, Tang San indeed had this ability; now, Tang San's Haotian Hammer martial soul has four soul rings attached, making his current stage strength actually somewhat greater than in the original.

However, this strength is only temporary, because his future potential has already fallen far short of that in the original.

Nevertheless, Feng Xiao Tian was astonished, and Tang San was equally astonished, because Tang San discovered that Feng Xiao Tian's second slash, though only a single wing, actually carried greater force than the previous strike; this realization instantly filled Tang San's heart with doubt and speculation.
