Douluo's Spiritual Pearl and Divine Sword

"Why, if you have such ability, why didn't you go serious at the beginning?" Feng Moheng questioned Yu Tianheng. Wasn't he just teasing him?

Yu Tianheng responded calmly "It's because your martial soul is a sword. Every day, I dream of surpassing that little brat in our team. So whenever I encounter someone with a sword martial soul, I can't help but observe their sword skills. I believe that once I can break every sword technique, I will challenge Jun Tianlin again. But now, it seems your level isn't enough to test me."

"So, I'm no longer interested. It's time to end this. Take this—Dragon Transformation!"

Yu Tianheng roared, and his hands truly transformed into dragon claws. What he had shown before was merely his martial soul's possession, nothing compared to true dragonization. Now that he had broken through level 40, another part of his body—his legs—had also undergone dragonization.

"Dragon Transformation Technique—Divine Dragon Dance!"

Yu Tianheng spun and lunged toward Feng Moheng. Once again, Feng Moheng attempted to block with the Shield of Clear Wind, but this time, Yu Tianheng effortlessly shattered it, breaking through his defense. With one final strike, Feng Moheng was sent crashing to the ground.

Though Yu Tianheng's side had gained a significant advantage, Gu Ran's situation was looking dire. Feng Xiaotian's Wind Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes had reached its thirty-second strike. With just four more, the power of this move would reach its peak. At this moment, Gu Ran seemed to have only enough strength to defend.

"Thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five!" Feng Xiaotian counted aloud as he slashed, as if marking the countdown to Gu Ran's defeat. Finally, the last strike arrived "You're done—Thirty-Sixth Slash!"

*Bang!*

Feng Xiaotian's final attack carried the power of a typical Spirit King's fifth soul skill. The impact sent Gu Ran sprawling to the ground. Gasping for breath, Feng Xiaotian retreated to his team's side "Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes took a lot out of me, but I finally dealt with the Spirit King on the other side."

"The Wind Wolf's Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes truly live up to their reputation. No wonder the boss told me not to interrupt and to let you complete all of them. You almost forced out the Tyrant Dragon's full form." Gu Ran's voice rang out as he slowly stood up. His upper clothes were tattered strips of cloth, yet his body was unscathed, revealing his well-defined muscles.

"How is this possible? He took all thirty-six of my slashes just by relying on his martial soul!" Feng Xiaotian exclaimed in disbelief. Judging from Gu Ran's tone, it was clear that he had deliberately endured the attack to temper his own defensive capabilities

"Haha, such incredible defensive power. Gu Ran now is just like Uncle Gu in his youth." Ning Fengzhi chuckled. This battle had turned into a showcase for the younger generation of their clan

"After thirty-six consecutive slashes, it seems you're out of energy. Now, it's my turn to fight back." Gu Ran grinned at Feng Xiaotian

With the captain and vice-captain of Godwind Academy both suppressed, the outcome of the match was all but decided.

Beyond the frontline battle, the other areas of the battlefield had also reached their conclusions.

The five Spirit Masters at the back of the Godwind formation had been harassed relentlessly by the two agility-attack Spirit Masters. Their focus was entirely on Osler and Yufeng, completely unaware of Huanyin, who had been silently gathering power behind them.

"First Soul Skill—Breaking the Prisoner's Order!"

A war-like melody filled the air, its rhythm evoking images of iron horses and battlefields. This auxiliary soul skill increased the attack power of its targets by 20% and expanded their attack range by 30%—the latter proving crucial in this moment.

The Shi brothers sprang into action "Fourth Soul Skill—Xuanwu Replacement!"

Their skill functioned similarly to Xu Sanshi's replacement ability in later generations. Typically, only one individual could be swapped at a time, but together, the Shi brothers could swap two people simultaneously. With the amplification from Huanyin's skill, their range expanded even further.

In an instant, the five Godwind Spirit Masters at the backline were abruptly swapped into Huanyin's attack range, catching them completely off guard.

Senior Sister Huanyin had been preparing for this moment. She hadn't been gathering power just for a simple first soul skill—she had been charging up her strongest ability

Huanyin wasn't a support-type but a control-type Spirit Master. Of her four soul skills, two assisted teammates, one restricted enemies, and the last was a devastating sonic attack

Capable of assisting, controlling, and attacking—she was a true battlefield controller

"Fourth Soul Skill—Empty Mountain Sounding Stream!"

Huanyin's fingers danced across the strings, producing a high-pitched and electrifying tune. The sonic devastation sent shockwaves through the battlefield, forcing the five Godwind Spirit Masters to clutch their ears in agony.

The longer Huanyin charged this technique, the more powerful it became. At this moment, its destructive force rivaled Feng Xiaotian's Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes.

*Zheng!*

With a final pluck of the strings, all five Godwind Spirit Masters collapsed, unconscious.

Just as Ma Hongjun had once defeated seven opponents in a single move, Huanyin had eliminated five with a single song.

No one had expected the lowest-leveled member of the Emperor Team, a mere level 40 Spirit Ancestor to possess such raw attack power.

However, many also noticed the weakness in Huanyin's technique—despite its immense strength, it required an extended charge time. Without reliable teammates to buy her time, she wouldn't have been able to unleash such destruction.

In the stands, at Tianshui Academy, Shui Bing'er turned to her teammate Xue Wu "Xue Wu, Huanyin's soul skill is quite similar to yours. Both require charging to reach their full potential."

Xue Wu nodded "Yes, but she's much stronger after charging up. Unlike me, she also has offensive techniques. However, when it comes to pure support, I'm several times better than her."

"You're quite confident. It's reassuring to have a teammate like you." Shui Bing'er smiled "That being said, one of you plays the zither while the other dances. If you were in the same team, you could debut as an idol duo."

Back in the arena, with all five of their teammates down, even the usually composed captain and vice-captain of Godwind Academy began to panic.

"Hey, your teammates are all down. It's about time for you to leave the battlefield too. First Soul Skill—Thunder Dragon Claw!"

"Third Soul Skill—Breath of Death!"

Before Feng Xiaotian and Feng Moheng could fully register their team's total defeat, Yu Tianheng's attack was already upon them

Without the support of their two auxiliary Spirit Masters, Feng Xiaotian and Feng Moheng had lost their edge. Their speed and strength had plummeted, making them no match for Yu Tianheng and Gu Ran. Exhausted from their earlier exertion, they had no means to resist.

Less than ten seconds later, the referee announced "This match is won by the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Emperor Team!"
