Chapter 155: A Brutal Beating of the Royal Team

"Fifth soul skill, Holy Sword!"

Qian Renxue's fifth soul ring flashed.

The next moment, a long sword flickering with golden flames appeared in her hand.

With a flash of her figure, Qian Renxue swung her sword at Feng Xiaotian. The holy sword, condensed from soul power, burned with the sacred fire representing light and judgment. The scorching flames made Feng Xiaotian's heart shudder.

Without time to think, Feng Xiaotian raised his wolf claws and met Qian Renxue's attack head-on.

Clang, clang, clanging!

High in the air, the two figures shifted positions continuously, and the crisp sound of collisions never ceased.

After successive collisions, Feng Xiaotian's body was already covered in wounds, and his soul power-condensed wolf claws were engulfed in the unquenchable sacred fire.

"Feng Xiaotian, you are quite good!"

Qian Renxue stood proudly, her peripheral vision sweeping toward Xiao Yu in the Nine Stars Academy resting area. "Aside from that fellow, you are the most talented person I have ever met. Even the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation cannot compare to you!"

The Spirit Hall's Golden Generation member Hu Liena's innate soul power was around rank nine, while Xie Yue and Yan were only at the early stages of rank eight. In the original story, if Feng Xiaotian hadn't stubbornly obsessed over that flashy self-created soul skill, he wouldn't have ended up being mocked by Xie Yue.

After the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament concluded, Feng Xiaotian seemed to have a moment of clarity, calming down to cultivate his soul power. Over five years, he raised his soul power from rank forty-four to rank sixty-one, barely keeping pace with the Golden Generation.

One had to remember that the Golden Generation advanced from Spirit Kings to Spirit Emperors, whereas Feng Xiaotian advanced from a Spirit Ancestor to a Spirit Emperor; the difference between the two was self-evident.

"Thank you for the praise!"

Feng Xiaotian's expression was not very good. He managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "You must be the strongest among the younger generation of Spirit Hall. To receive such high praise from the number one person in Spirit Hall, this life of mine, Feng Xiaotian, has been worth it!"

As he spoke, the only black ten-thousand-year soul ring on Feng Xiaotian erupted with dazzling light, and countless wind blades formed a tornado that charged toward Qian Renxue not far away.

Feng Xiaotian understood that Qian Renxue's sudden cessation of attacks meant she must be brewing a major move. Only by striking first could he have a sliver of a chance of winning.

Just as Feng Xiaotian launched his attack, golden light bloomed around Qian Renxue. Before the tornado attack he unleashed could even reach her, it was swallowed by this emanating golden light.

"This is... a domain!"

In the sky covered by this golden light, Feng Xiaotian clearly felt that he was suppressed in all attributes. Both his speed and strength had weakened significantly.

"Correct, this is indeed my domain, the Angel Domain!"

Qian Renxue's cold and aloof voice resounded across the entire competition arena. "Within this domain, I am the absolute sovereign!"

As her voice fell, Qian Renxue raised her right hand, and a majestic wave of soul power emanated from her right arm, acting upon the holy sword in her right hand.

The holy sword instantly magnified several times, almost covering the entire arena, and its dazzling light was even more piercing than the sun behind her.

"An innate domain, and a soul bone!"

Guang Chenxin, Sword Douluo, by Ning Fengzhi's side, gasped and said. With his cultivation level, he could naturally see that the might currently erupted by the Angelic Holy Sword was the result of the amplification from Qian Renxue's right arm soul bone.

In the original story, Qian Renxue did not begin absorbing the second piece of the angel set soul bone until the Heaven Dou Palace coup concluded. Absorbing it early now was undoubtedly a result of Xiao Yu, this butterfly, appearing and giving Qian Renxue a sense of urgency.

On the arena, Qian Renxue had already swung the holy sword down with a booming roar. Sword light shot out in all directions, rushing down like a flying waterfall.

Feng Xiaotian instantly felt the threat of death. Almost instinctively, he mobilized all the soul power in his body to condense a soul power protective shield in front of him.

Bang!

The gap in strength between the two was too great. Feng Xiaotian's soul power shield did not even last a single second before it was shattered. Struck squarely, Feng Xiaotian was sent flying instantly, crashing heavily outside the arena.

Unlike Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue still quite favored these talented soul masters with distinct personalities, and she could not bear to see Feng Xiaotian perish prematurely, which was why she ultimately showed mercy.

Furthermore, Qian Renxue publicly held the identity of the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, so she might still be able to recruit Feng Xiaotian to her service.

"Round three of the finals, match one: Spirit Hall Academy versus Blazing Wind Academy. The Spirit Hall Academy team wins the victory!"

The finals were held in Spirit City, and the referees in charge of the arena were naturally members of Spirit Hall. With their own academy winning, his voice inevitably carried a higher, more impassioned pitch.

Among the surrounding soul masters who came to watch, there was no shortage of those leaning toward Spirit Hall, and cheers instantly merged into a wave.

Amidst the cheers of countless soul masters, Qian Renxue led the other members of the Spirit Hall team off the arena. The moment she stepped down the stairs, she gave Xiao Yu an imperceptible eyebrow raise.

"This little vixen!"

Xiao Yu sighed helplessly. Huo Wu and Ye Lengleng had also noticed Qian Renxue's small gesture, rolled their eyes in annoyance, and simultaneously pinched the soft flesh at Xiao Yu's waist.
