"What an arrogant guy!"
Yu Tianxin's eyes darkened slightly upon hearing Zhang Fan's words. He hadn't expected this guy to be so arrogant. It left him speechless. Not releasing his spirit ring or martial spirit, yet still wanting to defeat him? This guy was downright conceited.
"Thunder Wrath!" Without further thought, Yu Tianxin roared and threw a punch at Zhang Fan, as purple-blue lightning surged toward him.
"Zzzzt..." The scene was terrifying—countless arcs of purple-blue lightning bombarded Zhang Fan.
"Yu Tianxin is really pissed now. No wonder, he got provoked by Zhang Fan. He'll definitely go all out—otherwise, he won't be able to swallow his pride."
"Yeah, what a terrifying strike!"
But suddenly, the purple-blue lightning seemed to freeze in time.
"Buzz..."Zhang Fan activated the Mystic Heart Profound Technique and Nine Yang Divine Art. "Buzz..." His hand transformed into a sword-finger, and a terrifying soul force gathered at his fingertip. "Clang..." He slashed out fiercely.
"Buzz..." All the lightning was shattered.
"Clang..." That terrifying sword light instantly reached Yu Tianxin.
Yu Tianxin's expression shifted. He hadn't expected this guy's sword strike to be so terrifying—the silver sword light carried a horrifying sword intent.
It made his heart tremble.
No matter how much power he used, it felt futile.
"Clang..." That sword light was too fast.
Too dazzling.
"What a terrifying sword!"
"So fast!"
"Zzzzt..."Yu Tianxin used every ounce of strength he had, but his attack was instantly shattered.
"Aghh..." He screamed, flying backward like a cannonball.
"Thud..." He crashed to the ground heavily, clearly in pain. He hadn't imagined it would turn out this way.
He truly couldn't withstand even a single strike.
Defeated in an instant.
"..." The arena fell silent. No one had expected such a result.
Everyone stared at Zhang Fan in shock.
No one had imagined that this guy was that terrifying.
It was mind-blowing.
It was unimaginable.
"Brother Fan is really on another level!"Xiao Wu screamed in admiration.
"He really is impossibly handsome."Ning Rongrong said with a smile.
"Mm."Zhu Zhuqing simply nodded in agreement without saying much.
"Shrek wins!" With the referee's announcement, the three beauties of Shrek rushed forward to celebrate with Zhang Fan.
Feng Xiaotian walked over from the side, smiling. "The draw just finished. Tomorrow, we'll be opponents!"
He looked at Zhang Fan and said.
"Okay. And?"Zhang Fan turned calmly to look at Feng Xiaotian. To him, no matter who the opponent was, he could win. So Feng Xiaotian didn't seem like a big deal.
"I'll be the first to fight tomorrow. You must go first too!"Feng Xiaotian said seriously. "We'll decide the championship qualification with our match! If I lose, the entire Godwind Academy will concede."
"Then you're guaranteed to lose."Zhang Fan replied calmly, full of confidence.
He didn't consider anyone a threat.
After all, he already knew all the competitors.
"Will your teammates agree to that?"Xiao Wu looked at Feng Xiaotian, laughing.
"Yes. We're a team—I speak for them."Feng Xiaotian replied with a smile.
"Oh! That's pretty domineering."Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Feng Xiaotian.
"Hehe! If you lose, don't go near Huo Wu anymore."
Feng Xiaotian said through gritted teeth.
"Sure!"Zhang Fan nodded. "You're the one who's going to lose anyway."
"Don't be too cocky!"Feng Xiaotian snorted. His strength wasn't ordinary.
"What do you mean by that, Feng Xiaotian? I can stand next to whoever I want. What's it to you?"Huo Wu was speechless hearing Feng Xiaotian.
"It's a bet between men. You don't need to worry about it."Feng Xiaotian replied confidently.
"Tch..."Huo Wu rolled her eyes at him. This guy really was shameless. With just that bit of strength, he dared to bet with Zhang Fan? What an overestimation of himself.
"Sister, who do you hope wins?"Huo Wushuang looked at Huo Wu curiously.
"No need to ask—of course Zhang Fan should win!"Huo Wu didn't even hesitate. In her eyes now, only Zhang Fan mattered. Feng Xiaotian? He could scram. She didn't like him and never would.
"Ugh..."Feng Xiaotian was clearly hurt hearing Huo Wu's words, but he wasn't going to give up. He had to fight to the end, even if Huo Wu stood with Zhang Fan.
Later, everyone returned to their respective camps.
The next day—
The 13th round of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament began. For most academies, their rankings in the qualifying rounds were already determined.
But Shrek Academy and Godwind Academy both had 13 consecutive wins.
Today was the 14th round—Shrek vs. Godwind Academy.
Whichever team won would hold 14 straight wins.
Godwind Academy's members stood in a line, with Feng Xiaotian in front.
"Brothers, do you trust me?"Feng Xiaotian asked seriously.
All the members had trained alongside him.
But it was the first time they'd seen Feng Xiaotian this serious—even nervous.
"Captain, win or lose, we'll stand beside you and support you!"
One of the team members said, and the others all nodded.
"Whoosh..."Zhang Fan flashed onto the battle platform.
Feng Xiaotian followed from the side.
Cheers erupted from the stands.
Captain Feng Xiaotian of Godwind Academy, Level 44, Power Attack Spirit Master, Martial Spirit: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.
Captain Zhang Fan of Shrek Academy, level unknown, Martial Spirit: Heaven's Woe Sword.
Zhang Fan lifted his gaze and glanced at Feng Xiaotian. Feng Xiaotian's expression hardened as soul power surged around him. Soul rings slowly rose beneath his feet.
"Buzz..." Their eyes met—lightning seemed to flash between them.
Feng Xiaotian let out a sharp howl as a faint green light burst from his body. His body began changing; bones cracked and popped as he grew noticeably larger. His long hair turned green, and most strikingly—a wolf head emerged from his left shoulder.
The green wolf head stared coldly at Zhang Fan, emitting a chilling aura.
Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, a mutated version of the Gale Demon Wolf, originally a mid-to-high-level martial spirit—now a top-tier existence due to the mutation.
Thanks to this mutated martial spirit, Feng Xiaotian achieved his current accomplishments.
Twenty-four years old, Level 44—a genius among geniuses.
If not for Zhang Fan, he would've been the brightest star of this generation.
Feng Xiaotian looked seriously at Zhang Fan.
"Let's begin."Zhang Fan said, not wanting to waste time.
"Alright. I awakened my martial spirit at six, with innate full soul power. I admire you. Even now, you haven't released your soul rings. I really wonder—what kind of soul rings do you have?"Feng Xiaotian said seriously after a moment of thought.
