Chapter 28: Feng Xiaotian

In Mo Hui’s eyes, Feng Xiaotian’s so-called Nine Slashes of the Gale Demon Wolf was, in essence, a technique for exerting force. By rotating continuously, it accumulated power while shifting soul power toward the edges of his twin wings, thereby increasing the technique’s might.

Mo Hui had seen something similar before: Tang San’s Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. It likewise relied on the rotation of the body to generate force, building momentum continuously so that each strike grew stronger than the last.

Compared with it, Feng Xiaotian’s Nine Slashes of the Gale Demon Wolf could only be described as an early, inferior version.

Perhaps, through constant improvement, Feng Xiaotian’s technique might one day reach the level of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. But who knew how long that would take? It might be faster simply to go to Gengxin City, find an advanced blacksmith who knew the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, learn it, and then create something of his own.

At that thought, Mo Hui looked at Feng Xiaotian with a hint of regret.

It was not that creating one’s own soul skills was impossible. In fact, Mo Hui’s Multi-Layered Air Blades and his Cutting Wind Blade could both be considered self-created soul skills. The point was to understand what mattered most.

Feng Xiaotian’s foremost problem at present was undoubtedly increasing his soul power. There was no harm in creating self-made soul skills after passing the golden age of cultivation. To allow such pursuits to hinder the advancement of one’s soul power would be to mistake the means for the end.

Feng Xiaotian was nineteen years old and had already reached rank thirty-nine as an Assault-type Soul Exalt. It was difficult to imagine how much time he had wasted for him to be only rank forty-four at the age of twenty-four.

After watching for a while longer and completely grasping the principles behind the Nine Slashes of the Gale Demon Wolf, Mo Hui left the dueling arena.

His destination was naturally Hurricane Valley, the highest-grade simulated cultivation ground. This time, Mo Hui planned to remain in Hurricane Valley for several months, leaving only after his soul power reached rank twenty-four. To accomplish that, he would need to prepare a great deal of food.

What? You are asking about the Martial Soul Theory course?

Mo Hui had already completed all the lessons the previous month and had passed the examination as well.

“Hm? What was that...?”

Just as Mo Hui turned to leave, Feng Xiaotian, standing in the dueling arena, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked in Mo Hui’s direction.

Immediately afterward, Feng Xiaotian activated his third soul skill and flew toward Mo Hui. Yet all he saw were two cyan shadows.

The speed of a flash of lightning was no joke. Although it lasted only for a brief moment, during that instant Mo Hui was even faster than an Agility-type Soul Master of the same rank.

Although Feng Xiaotian was a rank-thirty-nine Soul Exalt, it was impossible for him to catch Mo Hui with his third soul skill when he had started after him.

After searching for some time and confirming that Mo Hui’s figure had vanished, Feng Xiaotian returned to the dueling arena dejectedly.

“Xiaotian, why did you suddenly fly out just now? Did you fall in love at first sight with another beauty?”

After Feng Xiaotian returned to the arena, his friend Feng Yunfan teased him.

A year earlier, at the exchange meeting between the four elemental academies, Feng Xiaotian had fallen in love with Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy at first sight. He had even done a number of outrageous things while pursuing her. As a result, his friends often brought the matter up to tease him.

“Go on, get lost. You’re the one who falls in love at first sight. My love for Huo Wu will never change, even after a hundred years.”

Feng Xiaotian waved Feng Yunfan away impatiently.

After calming down for a while, Feng Xiaotian asked, “Did you see who was standing over there just now?”

As he spoke, he pointed to the place where Mo Hui had stood.

Feng Yunfan frowned. “There have been far too many people coming to watch you demonstrate your self-created soul skill. How could I remember them all?”

Seeing Feng Xiaotian’s grave expression, Feng Yunfan hurriedly asked, “Did something happen?”

“I sensed a unique aura just now. It resonated with my martial soul, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf!” Feng Xiaotian said solemnly.

“What?”

Feng Yunfan was stunned. He naturally knew what it meant when two martial souls resonated with each other. It was a sign that a Martial Soul Fusion Skill might be possible.

“How strong was the resonance?” Feng Yunfan asked anxiously.

The stronger the resonance between martial souls, the greater the likelihood of successfully cultivating a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If the resonance was insufficient, they might not be able to master one even after an entire lifetime.

“Very strong. My Gale Twin-Headed Wolf told me that if it could fuse with the other person’s martial soul, it would receive an enormous enhancement. As for the exact extent of that enhancement, I cannot say without trying, but it would certainly be tremendous.”

“I see...”

Feng Yunfan exhaled deeply. After calming himself, he said to Feng Xiaotian, “In that case, I’ll help you find that person!”

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill was extraordinarily important. If someone truly could resonate with Feng Xiaotian’s martial soul, then they would possess another trump card in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Yet neither of them had expected that the search would last for more than a month.

More than a month later, Feng Xiaotian stared blankly at the sky and said to Feng Yunfan beside him, “I must have imagined it that day, right?”

Feng Yunfan’s brows were also deeply furrowed. Over the past month, they had matched Feng Xiaotian with practically every student in the academy. They had not even spared the teachers. Yet there had been no sign of any martial soul resonance. Could that day truly have been nothing more than Feng Xiaotian’s hallucination?

“Forget it. Let’s go to Hurricane Valley. We haven’t been there for more than a month because of this.”

As he spoke, Feng Xiaotian pulled Feng Yunfan toward Hurricane Valley, looking very much as though he had given up.

Alas.

Feng Yunfan sighed inwardly, but he did not refuse Feng Xiaotian’s invitation.

After all, their cultivation had been delayed by this matter for an entire month, and their rate of soul-power growth had slowed considerably. If they did not return to Hurricane Valley to cultivate, it would not be good if the others caught up with them.

Before long, Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yunfan arrived at Hurricane Valley and followed the path cultivated by the Divine Wind Academy downward.

The deeper one went into Hurricane Valley, the more effective the cultivation became—but the more difficult it was to endure.

For that reason, Divine Wind Academy had divided Hurricane Valley into several regions: the fringe zone, the outer zone, the inner zone, and the core zone. Feng Xiaotian had once spent a month in the inner zone, after which his soul-power rank had risen by an entire level.

But that was also his limit. The core zone was a place where only the academy’s teachers could remain. It was said that the hurricanes there were so violent that even teachers at the Soul Ancestor level could not endure them for long. Only teachers at the Soul King level could cultivate in the core zone for extended periods.

As Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yunfan ventured deeper, the number of students cultivating nearby gradually dwindled. It was not until they reached a location near the inner zone that they saw another person.

“Hmm? This feeling...”

At that moment, Feng Xiaotian felt the intense fluctuation coming from his martial soul and widened his eyes.
