Chapter 56: Yu Tianxin's Defeat, Gatekeeper Feng Xiaotian Steps Up
"Come on, let me see what the genius of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family can do," Ye Wen raised the Deep Sea Magic Hammer and pointed it at Yu Tianxin.
"Heh." Yu Tianxin sneered.
His body crackled with thunder as he rapidly charged forward. His speed was incredibly fast, on par with other agile attack-type soul masters.
"Take this claw!"
"First Soul Skill, Blue Electric Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianxin's dragon arm, transformed through his martial soul, surged with domineering lightning, and with a swipe of his claw, the attack was formidable. Not a single student in the exchange could easily block this strike, not even Huyan Li would dare try to defend it.
However, Ye Wen paid no mind to this. He swung his hammer at full force.
"This kid dares to take on the Blue Electric Dragon Claw in its dragon form? Yu Tianxin's first soul skill, combined with his dragon arm, carries a strong paralyzing effect! Even if he takes the hit head-on, his body will be momentarily paralyzed, giving Yu Tianxin a chance to launch a follow-up attack!"
"Ye Wen's going to suffer now!"
Boom! Boom!
Ye Wen's Deep Sea Magic Hammer collided with Yu Tianxin's dragon claw.
"His strength is indeed more domineering than mine!" Yu Tianxin's expression grew serious as he was pushed back by Ye Wen's hammer. However, there was a smile at the corner of his mouth. Just as everyone said, his first soul skill, combined with his dragon-arm transformation, carried a short-lasting thunder paralysis effect.
This paralysis effect was even more effective against water-attribute energy, sea soul beasts, and freshwater sea creatures, which was a huge advantage for him!
"Feng Xiaotian, you won't get the chance to fight him. I'll deal with this kid!" Yu Tianxin's confidence soared as he was pushed back. He quickly made his next move while speaking to Feng Xiaotian, then once again launched his attack on Ye Wen.
Ye Wen stood still, not moving at all, as if he hadn't been affected by the paralysis.
"Heh, you were indeed paralyzed. Now, it's over!!"
Zzzzzzz!
Yu Tianxin swiftly launched his claw attack again.
"Over? What are you mumbling about!" Ye Wen said, completely baffled, and suddenly swung his hammer at Yu Tianxin again.
"What!"
"You're not paralyzed!"
Boom!
"Ughhh!!"
Yu Tianxin was once again knocked back by Ye Wen's hammer.
"Paralyze me? How could you paralyze me? My Deep Sea Demon Whale martial soul has both water and lightning attributes, seven parts water, and three parts lightning."
"Damn!" Yu Tianxin's expression turned grim. He thought he had the victory in his grasp. After boasting with Feng Xiaotian, he was immediately put at a disadvantage. This made him feel embarrassed!
"Fine, I'll finish you with one blow. Third Soul Skill, Thunder God's Wrath!!"
Zzzzzzz!
Yu Tianxin's lightning power and soul power were boosted by 100%, his body was covered in intense blue lightning, forming a layer of armor made entirely of lightning.
"Watch me end you with a single move!!"
"Second Soul Skill, Thunderstrike!!"
Yu Tianxin floated in mid-air, and between his hands appeared a powerful lightning ball. The next second, countless bolts of lightning shot out, almost covering the entire arena.
With the combination of his third and second soul skills, Yu Tianxin's second skill was instantly enhanced, producing a terrifying burst of power.
This was Yu Tianxin's strongest attack, and he intended to finish the fight quickly and knock Ye Wen out with his most powerful skill.
"Since you want a quick battle, I'll grant your wish!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless bolts of lightning continuously struck the entire arena. The coverage of Thunderstrike was incredibly dense, with the distance between each lightning strike less than a meter. In this situation, it was nearly impossible for any soul master to avoid them!
But Ye Wen's reflexes, speed, and movement were all enhanced by his million-year Deep Sea Demon Whale King martial soul. His battle awareness and control over his body were not something an average soul master could match!
"This kid! His movement is incredible! He's so agile! He's actually dodging all the lightning and still getting closer to Yu Tianxin!"
Ye Wen dodged every single bolt of lightning as it struck the arena. In a single leap, he swung his hammer toward Yu Tianxin.
Boom!
"Ughhh!"
Yu Tianxin was struck to the ground by Ye Wen's hammer.
"Deep Sea Magic Hammer, go."
Ye Wen tossed the magic hammer, and with one more strike, he took Yu Tianxin down.
"How could Yu Tianxin lose too!!"
"This kid has already defeated Huyan Li, Huo Wu, and Yu Tianxin, all top students from their respective academies!"
"Hey! Do you think this kid might actually defeat all the students from the four academies?!"
"Impossible! There's no way!"
"The last one left is Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy! His strength is just as good as Yu Tianxin's, if not stronger!"
"Don't underestimate Feng Xiaotian just because he's level 34. His strength might be greater than the two level 41 Soul Kings of Shenfeng Academy!"
"If Ye Wen was in top condition, I believe he could defeat Feng Xiaotian, but he's already fought three battles. His physical and soul power must have declined. There's no way he can beat Feng Xiaotian! If he does, I'll eat shit on the spot!"
"Weren't you the one who said you'd eat shit when Ye Wen defeated Huyan Li? But I didn't see you do it!"
"He won't win this time!"
As Ye Wen defeated Yu Tianxin, the entire arena fell into shock, followed by intense discussions. No one was doubting Ye Wen's strength anymore.
Now, everyone was talking about whether Ye Wen could take down the students from Xiangjia, Chihuo, Leiting, and Shenfeng academies, and finally defeat Feng Xiaotian.
"Ye Wen, your performance ends here. I, Feng Xiaotian, will end your streak!"
Feng Xiaotian slowly stood up, filled with hostility and fighting spirit, and addressed Ye Wen on the stage.
The entire arena immediately went silent as the two locked eyes. The tension in the air was palpable.
The next second, Feng Xiaotian soared into the air and landed on the stage.
"Your strength is indeed impressive, but against me, it's still lacking," Ye Wen said with a faint smile. Feng Xiaotian had definitely caught his attention, but to defeat him, Ye Wen knew he wasn't quite there yet.
"Heh, I hope you're still this confident later," Feng Xiaotian's voice was filled with hostility as he openly showed his disdain for Ye Wen. "Listen carefully. Since you dared to bully Huo Wu like that, I won't hold back. You better prepare yourself for some pain."
"Heh." Ye Wen smiled indifferently, but there was something he was curious about. "I heard you have innate full soul power?"
"Indeed," Feng Xiaotian said with a hint of pride.
"Full innate soul power, yet how did you end up at level 34 at 18 years old? You're wasting your innate talent," Ye Wen remarked.
Feng Xiaotian, one of the slowest to cultivate with innate full soul power among the younger generation, had only reached level 44 in his 23rd year.
