"Evil Eyes of Ice and Fire!"
Just as a sharp wind blade came slicing toward him, Dai Weisi shifted slightly and easily dodged it with a sidestep.
His Evil Eyes allowed him to predict the exact trajectory of the attack—tricks like this were no threat to him. Dai Weisi continued to move fluidly, effortlessly weaving through the ten wind blades that could easily shred through solid rock.
Though the blades landed with force—chipping away at the ground, splintering trees, and smashing into boulders—Dai Weisi remained untouched in the center of the chaos, as unblemished as a lotus blooming from muddy waters.
"What? The Wind Blade Formation is supposed to be densely packed. How did he dodge them all so easily?" Feng Xiaotian's face filled with disbelief as he involuntarily took a step back.
His Stromwind Two-Headed Wolf was a mutated Martial Soul. While ordinary Stromwind Demon Wolf Soul Masters could only release one wind blade with their first soul skill, he had long taken pride in his ability to fire ten simultaneously.
With these wind blades, capable of slicing through metal like paper, he had defeated many strong opponents—yet now he was being thoroughly outclassed by Dai Weisi.
"Isn't this guy a Power-Attack type Soul Master? How is he also moving like an Agility type? No wonder… it must be a mutated Martial Soul. Interesting…"
Feng Xiaotian murmured to himself, feeling a sense of kinship for the first time—after all, he too had a mutated Martial Soul. Though classified as an Agility type, he also possessed the strength and attack power of a Power type.
"Let's try that again!"
His first soul ring lit up once more, and ten crescent-shaped, green-blue wind blades launched again, coming at Dai Weisi from every angle.
"Trying to suppress me with long-range attacks? Not a bad idea—but in the face of absolute power, tricks are useless! Ice-Fire Wings—unleash!"
Dai Weisi erupted with a surge of energy. His immense soul pressure burst outward, sending ripple-like distortions through the air. Even Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu were visibly shaken—they hadn't expected Dai Weisi's soul power to be this overwhelming.
The ten incoming wind blades were shattered in an instant by his aura. At the same time, Dai Weisi's Ice-Fire Wings unfurled like a dragon's wings, spreading nearly twenty meters wide. And then—he moved!
"Watch out!"
Swoosh—!
In a blur, Dai Weisi vanished into a streak of motion, appearing directly behind Feng Xiaotian in the blink of an eye. With a sharp exhale, he threw a powerful punch straight at Feng Xiaotian's back.
"He's so fast!"
Feng Xiaotian's face changed instantly. The sound of wind tearing behind him was his only warning. He quickly twisted around, raising both arms to block the blow.
Bang—!
At the very last second, Feng Xiaotian managed to shield himself from the attack—but the sheer force of the punch left his arms numb.
Feeling the pain shooting up his limbs, he gasped. He hadn't expected Dai Weisi to possess such monstrous strength—just a casual punch had sent him flying backward nearly twenty meters.
"Tch… What terrifying power!"
"Hmph, not bad reflexes. As expected of Divine Wind Academy's top student. Your mastery of wind is impressive—you pinpointed my location using the change in airflow and sound. Not a bad skill!"
Dai Weisi smiled calmly. The fact that this guy had once pushed even Tang San—the cheat-code protagonist—into using his Clear Sky Hammer meant Feng Xiaotian wasn't entirely without ability. But even so, he wasn't a match for Dai Weisi.
"Come on, show me your self-created soul technique. I want to see the power of this move you're so proud of!"
"If that's what you want—then I won't hold back!" As soon as the words were spoken, Feng Xiaotian's second and third soul rings lit up in succession.
"Second Soul Skill: Twin Wolf Fusion!"
"Third Soul Skill: Stromwind Twin Wings!"
In the next instant, the shadow of the twin-headed wolf behind him fully merged with his body. His already muscular frame swelled further, bulging with power. At the same time, a massive pair of blue-green wings burst from his back.
Though he wasn't as physically large as Dai Weisi, his wingspan reached an impressive ten meters. In this enhanced form, his strength, speed, and defense all surged by fifty percent. And more importantly, his newly formed wings gave him the ability to fly.
But his transformation wasn't over yet. The Stromwind Twin Wings merged further into his muscular arms, creating a whirlwind-like force as he soared toward Dai Weisi with stunning speed.
Feng Xiaotian was now a living hurricane, charging forward like a blade of wind itself.
"This is my self-created soul technique: Stromwind Demon Wolf—Thirty-Six Consecutive Strikes! Brace yourself, friend—hyaaaah!"
He roared as his arms—fused with wind and wings—transformed into deadly wind blades, slashing toward Dai Weisi's chest with overwhelming momentum.
"Now that's more like it!" Dai Weisi grinned.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian charge at him with overwhelming force, Dai Weisi didn't retreat. Instead, he advanced boldly, meeting the attack head-on. His left hand transformed into a tiger claw and shot out to grab Feng Xiaotian's arm.
Boom!
Tiger claw collided with wolf claw in a fierce clash, producing a thunderous explosion. But Dai Weisi, whose body was akin to indestructible diamond, remained utterly unharmed.
Even taking Feng Xiaotian's attack head-on didn't leave so much as a scratch on his hand.
The Stromwind Demon Wolf: Thirty-Six Consecutive Strikes was a technique that undoubtedly grew stronger with each hit. Which meant, naturally, the first strike was the weakest.
Ordinary opponents, when facing Feng Xiaotian's signature move, would instinctively try to dodge or defend the first attack—evaluating its power before deciding how to respond. But that approach only allowed Feng Xiaotian time to build momentum, increasing the destructive power of his following strikes.
Dai Weisi, however, had seen through the essence of Feng Xiaotian's move. He didn't evade—he absorbed the first blow directly. And immediately after—
He grabbed Feng Xiaotian's arm!
Now!
Having blocked the opening strike, Dai Weisi locked his grip tightly around Feng Xiaotian's wrist, refusing to let him pull away.
"What?!"
Feng Xiaotian's expression twisted in shock. Clearly, he hadn't anticipated such a counter. Still, he was a battle-hardened fighter. Without hesitation, his other arm—transformed into a wind blade—swung down to strike Dai Weisi.
His original intent had been to slash Dai Weisi's neck—but remembering that Dai Weisi had helped Huo Wu capture the Flame Raging Lion, he couldn't bring himself to repay kindness with blood.
However, he had clearly overestimated his own speed. Dai Weisi was simply faster—far faster.
Dai Weisi's right arm also turned into a tiger claw. In a blur, he grabbed Feng Xiaotian by the throat and growled coldly, "Don't move."
"Urgh…!"
Feeling the crushing grip around his neck, Feng Xiaotian groaned in pain.
A suffocating, icy sensation gripped his brain as fear surged through him. He could clearly sense that if Dai Weisi wanted to kill him, it would take less than a second.
Dai Weisi paused for a moment, holding Feng Xiaotian in his grasp, before casually tossing him to the ground like he weighed nothing.
"You've lost," he said flatly. "Now do you see the gap between us? The self-created soul technique you're so proud of—was completely useless against me."
"I… lost?"
Feng Xiaotian lay helplessly on the ground, stunned.
He had once used the latter half of the Stromwind Demon Wolf: Thirty-Six Consecutive Strikes to spar against Soul King-level instructors and hold his ground—something that had filled him with pride.
He had naively believed that his self-created technique could bridge the gap between himself and top-tier fighters. That overconfidence had led him to neglect his foundational training.
But in a real battle between the strong, victory is decided in an instant. No one gives you time to "build up" your power.
"Alright, this little farce has gone on long enough." Dai Weisi turned his gaze toward Huo Wu and gave a faint smile.
"Miss Huo Wu, you can start absorbing the soul ring now. If you wait much longer, that Flame Raging Lion might not survive."
