The news of the Clear Sky Sect’s destruction had not yet spread.
The massacre deep in the mountains was like a pebble thrown into a deep pool; the ripples had not yet spread far.
After all, it happened deep in the mountains.
After all, the Spirit Hall had suppressed the news.
After all, people were more concerned about the grand event sweeping the continent.
In the streets and alleys of Heaven Dou City, people were still talking about the exciting matches of the tournament.
In the teahouses and taverns of Star Luo City, gamblers were still placing bets on the outcome of the next match.
Even the streets and alleys of Spirit City were bustling with spirit masters and spectators from all over the country, a lively and vibrant scene.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was still in full swing.
And that once glorious sect was now nothing but ruins and corpses scattered across the mountains.
No one knew.
At least not yet. ...
Half a month later.
Heaven Dou City, Royal Hunting Grounds.
Around the vast competition arena, flags from various academies fluttered in the wind. Red, blue, green, purple... a kaleidoscope of colors swirled in the breeze, transforming the arena into a festive spectacle.
Today was the final battle of the qualifying rounds.
The qualifying rounds were different from the previous preliminary rounds.
The preliminary rounds were elimination rounds; the losers went home. The qualifying rounds, however, were a ranking competition for the teams that had already reached the finals, determining their order of appearance in the grand finals.
Moreover, this was a stage to showcase individual strength, allowing the higher-ups to better identify exceptionally talented young Soul Masters among the participants.
Therefore, although all participating teams had already qualified for the grand finals, no one was willing to relax in this final match.
Rankings were a matter of honor, and also of strategy.
Today’s main event was the battle between Blue Tyrant Academy and Divine Wind Academy.
Blue Tyrant Academy.
The biggest dark horse of the year.
A team composed of "commoner students," relying on two Soul Masters, fought their way through the competition to reach the top of the qualifying rounds.
Especially the three students in the team with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, which attracted the attention of many forces.
After all, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul hadn’t been seen for over ten years.
That being, once hailed as the number one weapon Martial Soul in the world, gradually faded from people’s sight after the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates.
Now, it has reappeared.
Moreover, three of them have appeared.
How could this not attract attention?
...
The rest area of Divine Wind Academy.
The team members stood in a row, all eyes fixed on their captain.
Feng Xiaotian.
The ace of Divine Wind Academy, a level 44 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.
Short silver-white hair, a handsome face, and an innate arrogance made him the prince charming in the hearts of countless girls. But now, the prince on the white horse’s face lacked its usual arrogance.
Only a hint of resentment and confusion remained.
He couldn’t understand it.
He, Feng Xiaotian, possessed good looks, strength, and a prestigious family background.
He was the captain of the Divine Wind Academy, a rising star among the younger generation of the Heaven Dou Empire!
But Huo Wu, the genius girl from the Blazing Fire Academy whom he had always pursued, actually...
was actually attracted to that kid named Tang San!
That Tang San, with his ordinary appearance, dark skin, and unremarkable demeanor, how could he compare to him, the "White-Haired Lanling King"?!
He racked his brains but couldn’t understand it.
Therefore, before the competition, he challenged Tang San.
Not a challenge between academies, but a challenge between men.
He wanted to defeat that kid in front of everyone, to show Huo Wu who the true powerhouse was!
Standing before his teammates, he said in a deep voice, "Brothers, do you trust me?"
The teammates replied in unison, "Captain, go ahead with confidence!"
"Win or lose, we’ll support you!"
"Let’s show that kid from Blue Tyrant Academy the power of Divine Wind Academy!"
Feng Xiaotian nodded solemnly, "Thank you, brothers!"
He turned and strode towards the arena.
...
In the center of the arena.
Two figures entered from different directions.
Feng Xiaotian, dressed in a dark blue-black outfit, exuded elegance.
Tang San, in a dark blue-black team uniform, with black hair and dark skin, looked as plain as an ordinary passerby.
The two stood in the center of the arena, ten meters apart.
Feng Xiaotian stared at him, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "Tang San, whether for Huo Wu or for the academy—"
He paused, then said, word by word, "I will not lose!"
Tang San looked at him, his expression calm: "What a coincidence."
His voice was indifferent: "For the sect, and for the academy, I will not lose either."
Feng Xiaotian snorted coldly, refusing to waste any more words.
He raised his right hand, his soul power surging!
Martial Soul, Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, activated!
His figure instantly grew taller, his hands transforming into sharp wolf claws, and a gigantic phantom of a two-headed wolf appeared behind him. The phantom howled to the sky, and a gale arose!
Beneath his feet, four soul rings slowly rose.
Two yellow, two purple!
The aura of a level 44 Soul Master was on full display!
Feng Xiaotian gestured for him to proceed: "Feng Xiaotian, Level 44 Power-Attack Type Soul Master, Martial Soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, please!"
Tang San looked at him and also raised his left hand.
Black light surged forth, condensing into a small hammer in his palm.
The Clear Sky Hammer.
Though small, the hammer exuded an innate domineering aura.
Four spirit rings rose beneath his feet.
Four purple!
All thousand-year spirit rings!
Tang San’s voice was calm: "Tang San, Level 43 Power-Attack Type Soul Master, Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer."
He paused: "Please enlighten me!"
"The match begins!"
The referee announced.
The two in the arena moved almost simultaneously!
Feng Xiaotian’s speed was astonishing!
The Gale Twin-Headed Wolf Martial Soul granted him unparalleled speed. In a flash, he transformed into a white afterimage, instantly appearing before Tang San!
A wolf’s claw lashed out, tearing through the air, and viciously grabbed at Tang San!
Tang San didn’t dodge.
He wouldn’t dodge.
The cultivation method of the Clear Sky Hammer emphasizes head-on confrontation, using brute force to overcome skill!
He gripped the hammer with both hands and slammed it down!
"Clang—!!!"
Hammer and claw clashed, sparks flying!
Both men simultaneously staggered back a few steps, then regained their footing and charged at each other again!
"Clang clang clang clang—!!!"
The intense collision echoed throughout the arena!
The two men fought with lightning speed and sheer force, exchanging dozens of blows in the blink of an eye!
Feng Xiaotian grew increasingly alarmed with each exchange.
His prized speed seemed to offer little advantage against Tang San. While the boy wasn’t as fast, his reactions were incredibly quick, accurately blocking each of his attacks.
Moreover, the power of the Clear Sky Hammer was simply immense!
With each collision, he felt his arm go numb, and his tiger’s mouth crack! "First Soul Skill, Wind Blade Formation!"
Feng Xiaotian held back, unleashing his soul skill directly!
A series of azure wind blades shot from his hand, slashing towards Tang San’s waist!
