Chapter 56 Martial Soul Fusion Technique Chapter 56 Martial Soul Fusion Skill
Huo Xinxin's words shocked everyone. Three years ago, Feng Xiaotian already had a connection with Huo Xinxin?
A sudden silence fell over the scene. Suddenly, Shui Bing'er, standing next to Shui Shuang'er, whispered, "Sister, do you think Brother Xiaotian is a scumbag?"
Though her voice was soft, the unusually quiet atmosphere made her small voice easily heard by everyone.
"Shh, don't talk nonsense, just watch," Shui Shuang'er whispered to Shui Bing'er.
Huo Xinxin looked at Feng Xiaotian and said playfully, "Do you want to be the scumbag that little girl talks about? Haha."
Feng Xiaotian was somewhat angry, but he also thought to himself,
this might be Huo Xinxin deliberately provoking him.
If she really got angry, he might fall for it.
"Three years ago, I was too young, and I spoke without thinking. Now, you're in your early twenties, a bit old for me. We're not suitable," Feng Xiaotian said deliberately, never afraid of a verbal battle.
The man before her dared to call her old, offending her to the core. Huo Xinxin considered herself a star at Blazing Academy, always the center
of attention. Even her younger sister, Huo Wuxuan's, visit to the advanced academy hadn't diminished her popularity. She had to teach him a lesson.
"Kid, you've really angered me, Zhang Xingyun. Haven't you always wanted to pursue me? Your brother alone might not be able to defeat him. You two come at me together, and if you win, maybe I'll consider you."
Huo Xinxin said this deliberately. She wanted to see how much Feng Xiaotian had improved in the past three years. Besides, it seemed these two brothers were already looking for a fight with Feng Xiaotian. One person definitely wouldn't be enough; at least two would be needed. That's why she had them go together to force Feng Xiaotian to reveal his full strength.
Zhang Xingyun's heart raced with excitement. Wasn't this a sure win? His older brother had wanted to teach this kid a lesson, and now, if he won, he could also win the heart of his goddess. Why not?
"If he and his older brother went together, they could definitely handle this kid. Both of them are level 39 Soul Masters. How could they not defeat a level 36 Soul Master?
" "Zhang Xingyun, level 39 Battle Soul Master, his Martial Soul is also a Fire Wolf."
What was originally a one-on-one fight has now become a one-on-two fight.
"Great! Great! Go and beat this bad guy!" Huo Wu shouted happily. Both of their Soul Power levels were higher than Feng Xiaotian's. She didn't believe they couldn't beat Feng Xiaotian.
"Sister Xin Xin, I think we should just forget about it. Feng Xiaotian and the others are guests. It's not appropriate to do this." Huo Wuxuan reminded her. She knew that the combined strength of these two was definitely not as simple as one plus one.
"What's wrong, little sister? Are you feeling sorry for him? Or have you taken a fancy to this kid? Hmph, this kid punched me in the Soul Arena three years ago, and it hurt me for days. I heard he even got a Golden Soul Badge the next day. You don't need to worry." Huo Xin Xin replied.
"What? A Golden Soul Badge?" Huo Wuxuan asked in surprise.
The Golden Soul Badge—Feng Xiaotian was only nine years old then, at most level twenty-something, and he already possessed it? How many levels above that was? The
more Huo Wuxuan looked, the more mysterious Feng Xiaotian seemed.
Shui Shuang'er felt the same way; she initially thought Feng Xiaotian was strong enough, but it turned out he was hiding much more power, definitely not the meager strength she displayed during their sparring session.
Zhang Yunlong had initially wanted to refuse a two-on-one duel, feeling it wouldn't be a fair victory, but after hearing that his opponent had received the Golden Soul Badge, he changed his mind. He immediately said, "Little brother, is the Golden Soul Badge really that impressive?"
"Hmph, nothing special. If we brothers wanted to, getting the Golden Soul Badge would be a piece of cake," Zhang Xingyun said confidently.
At the same time, the two completed their Martial Soul Possession, a dazzling crimson light emanating from them.
Since this battle seemed unavoidable, they had to completely defeat their opponent.
Feng Xiaotian's first two Soul Rings lit up, and his second Soul Skill, Heavenly Wolf Possession, was completed.
Whoosh…
Feng Xiaotian moved, bursting forth with incredible speed.
Both brothers were offensive types, speed not their forte, and immediately unleashed their soul skills.
Simultaneously, a soul ring lit up, and a fireball the size of a basketball shot from their hands towards Feng Xiaotian.
Their soul skills were identical; Feng Xiaotian immediately used his first soul skill, releasing two wind blades from his hands…
In an instant, he shattered the two fireballs, and the wind blade showed no sign of stopping. In terms of first soul skill, Feng Xiaotian's was stronger than most.
However, after shattering the fireballs, his wind blade had consumed some power, and its speed had slowed down.
His wind blade was inherently weak in terms of accuracy, and after consuming power, its speed had decreased, so it was still blocked by the two brothers.
This was a normal phenomenon, but after one round of soul skill usage, and since they were both battle soul masters, it was time for a head-on clash.
The two simultaneously lit up their third soul rings, and it felt as if their muscles were expanding again, and their power was enhanced once more.
Bang...
The melee combat began, and with the power boosted by their third soul rings, they were actually equivalent to 80% of Feng Xiaotian's power when using his second soul skill.
But Feng Xiaotian's speed was not something ordinary people could match. One person holding off two, plus the 5% absorption feedback effect of his second soul skill,
that's a 10% absorption effect for the two of them, and his second soul skill already consumed very little power.
In a battle of attrition against him, the two were no match at all.
Feng Xiaotian was only using 80% of his speed and power, yet he was already handling the two opponents with ease.
However, due to their extremely high level of teamwork, they were able to complement each other's attacks and defenses, making it difficult for Feng Xiaotian to quickly defeat his opponent.
This was likely the power of teamwork; against an ordinary person, they would have been defeated long ago.
But they were facing Feng Xiaotian, whose second soul skill unleashed a full-force attack with 100% increased power. With his
speed and power boosted again, the two, who seemed to have become accustomed to Feng Xiaotian's previous attack rhythm, were suddenly caught off guard by his increased speed and had no time to react.
All they heard was the distinctive sound of fists striking flesh.
The two were sent flying almost simultaneously, their martial souls even returning to their bodies.
"Brother, it seems like we can't win like this. He's clearly a power-attack type, so why is he so fast?" Zhang Xingyun asked, puzzled.
"How would I know? He's simply a monster. He only used his second soul skill, and not only is his power stronger than ours, but his speed is also on par with agility-attack type soul masters," Zhang Xinglong said.
"Use your ultimate moves quickly! You can't defeat him like this. I was defeated the same way three years ago," Huo Xinxin reminded them helplessly.
Fortunately, both of them were offensive types with good defenses. Although the attack from Feng Xiaotian hurt a lot, it didn't have a significant impact.
"Kid, you're lucky. If you were a Soul Master, we might really lose. But your soul power is lower than ours, so you're destined not to defeat us," Zhang Xingyun said confidently as he slowly stood up. "
Brother is right. You're doomed. This ultimate move was originally meant for the Advanced Soul Master Tournament two years later, but it seems we'll have to reveal it early today," Zhang Xinglong said.
In that instant, the two stood together, simultaneously releasing their Fire Wolf Martial Souls. The fiery red light on their bodies grew brighter and brighter, and the two of them and their Martial Souls began to merge.
"Is this a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" Feng Xiaotian exclaimed. This was the first time he had faced an opponent with a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. He felt no fear, but rather a sense of excitement.
Take a short test: If you traveled back to the same era as Douluo Continent and Tang San, which route would you choose?
(1) You will watch him grow, flattering him all the way to the end. Tang San will probably give you what's left over, and you'll have a chance to become a Title Douluo, or even a god.
(2) Develop yourself. Because of your feelings for the original characters from the novel, you won't destroy any of Tang San's resources. Watch him grow step by step. If you have a cheat code, you can still compete with him. If not, you're just an ordinary passerby.
(3) Don't deliberately target Tang San, but don't flatter him either. Everything is for your own benefit. Those important opportunities that Tang San has, and are also important to you, you must try to seize. After all, before Tang San obtains them, these things don't belong to Tang San, and you can't steal them!

1.8times+Chapter 57. Swift Wind Slash Defeats Martial Soul Fusion Technique Chapter 57 Swift Wind Slashes Away the Soul Fusion Technique
The fact that they could use a Soul Fusion Technique indicates a high degree of compatibility between their Souls.
Moreover, these two look very similar, possibly twin brothers.
They share the same Soul, even their Soul Power and Soul Skills are identical.
The compatibility between their Souls must be high, no wonder they can use a Soul Fusion Technique.
However, Feng Xiaotian, who had read the novel, knew that the master had said that even two people with the same Soul might not have a high degree of fusion to produce a Soul Fusion Technique; a Soul Fusion Technique requires complementary Souls.
But these two already possessed a Soul Fusion Technique, so it seems the master's theory wasn't entirely correct.
The aura emitted by the Soul Fusion Technique was extremely powerful, already alarming Feng Qingyuan and the others who were discussing hunting Soul Beasts.
Several hundred meters away.
"A Soul Fusion Technique?" Feng Qingyuan exclaimed in surprise.
"No, I have to go stop them, otherwise it will hurt your son Xiaotian," Huo Lieyuan said.
However, he was already cursing inwardly. Didn't these two brats tell them not to reveal their Soul Fusion Technique to outsiders? This was their trump card move for the Advanced Soul Master Competition two years later.
Today's use of this technique has made both Tianshui and Shenfeng Academies aware of it, hasn't it?
Although the Five Elements Academies have a good relationship, they are also competitors.
Just as Huo Lieyuan was about to leave, Feng Qingyuan pressed down on Huo Lieyuan's shoulder and said, "No need, Xiaotian can handle it."
"What? Qingyuan, are you kidding me? Those two are level 39 Soul Masters. Using a Soul Fusion Technique can reach the strength of a Soul Grandmaster. Your son, Feng Xiaotian, is only twelve years old. How could he possibly handle it?" Huo Lieyuan said in disbelief.
"Brother Lieyuan, just trust Qingyuan. Look at his son Xiaotian's Soul Rings." Shui Xuanyu also spoke up.
"What? One yellow and two purple? How is that possible? A twelve-year-old Soul Grandmaster? Old Feng, has your child taken drugs? Even if he's on drugs, he wouldn't cultivate this fast." Huo Lieyuan exclaimed in surprise.
This surprised expression was exactly like Shui Xuanyu's last night.
Just as they were talking, the two completed their Soul Fusion Technique, transforming into a two-headed fire wolf, five meters long and two meters high.
"So it's just a single head turning into two, nothing special," Feng Xiaotian said casually.
"Xiaotian, be careful. They're using a Soul Fusion Technique, which is much stronger than the combined power of the two of them," Huo Wuxuan warned. After all, he was a guest, and she didn't want anything to happen to Feng Xiaotian.
Huo Xinxin's face darkened as she looked at Huo Wuxuan and said, "Why are you reminding him, Wuxuan? You've really taken a liking to him, haven't you?"
"No, how could that be? We've only known each other for a short time," Huo Wuxuan said shyly.
Bang...
Feng Xiaotian, possessed by the Second Soul Wolf, faced the attack of the two-headed fire wolf's claws.
Even with Feng Xiaotian's second soul skill boosting everything by 100%, he couldn't budge an inch and was even knocked five or six meters away.
Feng Xiaotian felt as if his bones were about to fall apart; the difference in strength was too great.
"Is that all the power you have? Then you're doomed. This is the Hellfire Two-Headed Fire Wolf. If you don't want to die, come and take this attack," a voice came from the two-headed fire wolf's mouth.
The two-headed fire wolves' aura surged once more; the two were about to unleash their full power.
Feng Xiaotian dared not underestimate them.
*Poof!*
Two pale blue wings appeared from his back, and he took flight.
This was his third soul skill, Heavenly Wolf Wings, which he had never used in front of outsiders.
His ability, besides flight, was that while using it, he could amplify his second soul skill from 100% to 120%.
Relying on such power, it was clearly still insufficient to counter the opponent's soul fusion technique.
It could be said that this was the most formidable opponent Feng Xiaotian had encountered in three years.
However, he knew that those who used soul fusion techniques also had weaknesses: their soul power was rapidly depleted during attacks, and the duration was short.
Both were Soul Masters; at most, two or three attacks would exhaust all their soul power, and the soul fusion technique would naturally be dispelled.
Feng Xiaotian flew directly into the air, stopping only after flying about fifteen meters high.
"Even if you fly into the air, it's the same. This height is nothing; you can't escape my attack range."
The two-headed fire wolves looked at Feng Xiaotian in the air and leaped into the air.
The instant they soared high, Feng Xiaotian activated his first soul skill.
This was the moment Feng Xiaotian had been waiting for; he was afraid they wouldn't come up.
Ten wind blades attacked the two-headed fire wolves in succession. Wind blades are inherently difficult to hit,
but the two-headed fire wolves were in the air, only able to move upwards, unable to dodge left or right.
They could only use their fiery red claws to directly block the wind blades.
But would Feng Xiaotian only use his first soul skill once?
After the first ten wind blades, Feng Xiaotian immediately launched a second wind blade array, this time attacking the two-headed fire wolves from different directions.
On the ground, Feng Xiaotian would definitely be at a disadvantage; the opponent's martial soul fusion skill possessed power comparable to a Soul King.
But he used his third soul skill; in the air, the two-headed fire wolves were much easier to deal with.
The two-headed fire wolves had taken quite a few of Feng Xiaotian's wind blades, and just as the attacks were about to reach Feng Xiaotian...
With a flap of his wings, Feng Xiaotian's two-headed fire wolf vanished from its spot, bypassing him.
The fire wolf had no chance to react.
In mid-air, it was like a target for Feng Xiaotian.
His wings instantly slashed at the fire wolf like blades, relentlessly
striking its body, each blow stronger than the last.
Even with its Soul Fusion Technique, the fire wolf could no longer withstand Feng Xiaotian's attacks.
After twenty-one strikes, the fire wolf finally gave way, its Soul Fusion Technique vanishing instantly, separating into two individuals who fell downwards.
Perhaps due to the excessive attacks, their soul power was exhausted.
Feng Xiaotian moved quickly, grabbing one person by the collar with each hand, and slowly lowered them down.
The Soul Fusion Technique was extremely taxing; these two had overused their soul power today and would likely need several days to recover, possibly even suffering a backlash.
After setting the two down on the ground, Feng Xiaotian looked at Huo Xinxin and said, "Those two don't seem to be up to par."
"Hmph, you're the only one who's good! I admit I said that to you. Come on, go after your sister!" Huo Xinxin said with a smile. She
then walked over to Zhang Xingyun and said, "You two need to work harder. If we meet him in the Advanced Soul Master Competition two years from now, we'll definitely lose, won't we?"
"Sister Xinxin, we know! We definitely won't lose to him next time!" the two replied simultaneously.
Shui Bing'er then spoke up, "So it was all a misunderstanding. Brother Xiaotian isn't a scumbag."
"Sister Xinxin, I'm here too! Let me defeat this bad guy someday! He is a scumbag!" Huo Wu also waved her little fist at Shui Bing'er.
Huo Xinxin patted Huo Wu's shoulder and encouraged her, "Okay, this important task is entrusted to you. You're the most promising member of the family. Remember to train hard when you get back, otherwise it will be difficult for you to defeat him."
"Brother Xiaotian, your third soul skill was very powerful, especially the final Winged Slash. That must be a self-created soul skill, right?" Shui Shuang'er asked Feng Xiaotian.
"That's right, this is my self-created soul skill, temporarily called Gale Slash," Feng Xiaotian replied.
Huo Xinxin looked at the boy, nearly ten years younger than her, with complicated emotions, feeling a pang of unease.
A self-created soul skill—that was already impressive three years ago, and now another one—she'd actually defeated a Martial Soul Fusion Skill comparable to a Soul King's power.
Huo Wuxuan knew Feng Xiaotian had another self-created soul skill and was also pondering. Was there really such a big difference between her innate ninth-level soul power and Feng Xiaotian's innate full soul power?
It seems everyone chose option three, which is good!
A reader was right; the initial writing went too far. Chapters 56 and 57 have been revised. Thank you for the reminder!

1.8times+Chapter 58 Departure and Escort Chapter 58 Departure and Escort
Huo Lieyuan, watching from afar, was truly furious, practically fuming.
These two had not only exposed their ultimate move, the Spirit Fusion Technique, but they'd also lost.
Losing due to inferior strength was one thing, but losing by sheer stupidity was another.
"You two idiots, why did you jump into the air? Weren't you just asking for a beating?" Huo Lieyuan roared.
These two power-attack type Spirit Masters, their Spirit Fusion Technique enhancing absolute strength, now possessed attack power comparable to a Spirit King. If they were to break through level 40, they could definitely unleash Spirit King-level power.
Just as Huo Lieyuan had said, Feng Xiaotian didn't dare to directly confront their Spirit Fusion Technique on the ground, and being in the air somewhat limited their effectiveness.
Even using his third Spirit Skill, the newly developed Gale Twenty-Four Consecutive Slashes, wouldn't defeat them.
But since they followed him into the air, everything became much easier.
However, defeat was defeat, and Feng Xiaotian had fought two against one; there was no room for excuses.
"Sigh, it seems Shenfeng Academy might dominate the next Soul Master Competition. Maybe Feng Xiaotian can create a miracle and defeat those arrogant guys from the Spirit Hall," Shui Xuanyu said.
"Haha, perhaps. This kid performed quite well," Feng Qingyuan replied with a laugh. How could he not be happy that his son was strong?
Feng Xiaotian looked at Zhang Xinglong and Zhang Xingyun again and asked, "Are you two alright?"
With the help of their companions, the two slowly stood up. Zhang Xinglong spoke first, "We're fine. We'll recover in a couple of days. I never thought we'd still be defeated by you."
"Actually, the main reason he was able to defeat you was because you attacked while jumping, and you jumped very high. If you were on the ground, he might have been the one to lose," Huo Xinxin said directly.
Both of them have great potential. Once they reach the Soul Douluo level, they will have the potential to fight against ordinary Title Douluos.
Feng Xiaotian approached the two and whispered, "I'm not interested in the people you like. If you want to pursue them, you can't spoil them. You need to surpass them in soul power and combat strength before you treat them a little better. You can't always control them and listen to them, especially the women of the Huo family. You must defeat them."
After saying that, Feng Xiaotian turned and left. It seemed that this was the only way to deal with the women of the Huo family.
"Will you participate in the Advanced Soul Master Competition two years from now?" Zhang Xinglong suddenly asked.
"Maybe," Feng Xiaotian replied.
"We will definitely defeat you then," Zhang Xinglong said.
"We'll talk about it on that day!"
"Wait, what did you just say to them?" Huo Xinxin asked curiously.
"Haha, nothing, just told them a combat technique," Feng Xiaotian replied.
After speaking, Feng Xiaotian went to Shui Bing'er's side again, but everyone seemed to want to know what happened three years ago.
Since Huo Xinxin had already recognized him, there was no need to hide anything. Feng Xiaotian then recounted his battle with Huo Xinxin three years ago.
"Hmph, it's all because I let you win. I conceded, otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain," Huo Xinxin said.
"What happened just now was my fault. I just wanted them to test your strength. I hope you won't take offense," Huo Xinxin said to Feng Xiaotian again.
Feng Xiaotian was new here and couldn't be petty. Besides, he had witnessed the power of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the same level, and he had many feelings about this battle.
He said to Huo Xinxin, "It's nothing, but could you please not speak carelessly next time? It's easy to cause misunderstandings."
"Okay, I'll be careful next time,"
Huo Xinxin said, then looked at Huo Wuxuan and continued, "See? This is his strength. We must come up with a way to counter him in the future Advanced Soul Master Competition."
Feng Xiaotian was speechless. Huo Xinxin was quite cunning.
"I understand, Sister Xinxin," Huo Wuxuan replied. Among the male students of Blazing Fire Academy, the Zhang brothers ranked first and second, and among everyone, Huo Xinxin was the eldest sister in front of everyone.
There was nothing else to see, as if they were just taking a stroll around Blazing Fire Academy.
The only problem was that Huo Xinxin was always targeting Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian really wanted to beat her up and rub her to the ground, but since she was also a girl, he didn't do anything. If Huo Xinxin were a boy, he would have beaten her up long ago.
Throughout the journey, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were constantly bickering, their relationship seemingly irreconcilable.
That evening, everyone enjoyed a meal of the local specialty, "Huoshao" (a type of baked flatbread), in Chihuo City.
...
The next morning, they bid farewell to Huo Xinxin, Huo Wuxuan, and the others, leaving Chihuo City.
Feng Xiaotian set off again in his carriage.
This time, only three people were traveling: Feng Xiaotian, Shui Shuang'er, and Shui Bing'er.
Feng Xiaotian's parents and their father, Shui Xuanyu, decided to go hunting soul beasts ahead of schedule.
They would first go to Hanhai City, and then to the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, before that, they needed to notify Hu Yanqiang of Elephant Armor Academy and Yu Xiaoming of Thunder Academy again in Hanhai City, since Shui Xuanyu had invited them first, and the previous notification also targeted Hanhai City—the destination remained the same.
Originally, Feng Xiaotian and Shui Shuang'er wanted to go as well, but the four adults collectively rejected this, assigning Feng Xiaotian an escort mission: to escort Shui Shuang'er and Shui Bing'er back to Tianshui City.
Tianshui City wasn't far from Chihuo City; the journey by carriage would only take a little over a day.
With Shui Bing'er with them, the trip wouldn't be boring.
However, Shui Bing'er seemed somewhat unhappy about returning home.
Feng Xiaotian noticed the abnormality and asked, "Bing'er, what's wrong? You're not happy about going home?"
"Hmph, I don't want to see that person. Going home is not good at all," Shui Bing'er replied sullenly.
Feng Xiaotian had also heard about this from Shui Shuang'er. Shui Bing'er had never seen her mother since she was little.
She now believed that her mother was alive in this world.
At the same time, Feng Xiaotian also thought that Shui Xuanyu had arrived too quickly. Shui Bing'er and her sister were only one year and three months apart.
Shui Bing'er's mother disappeared when she was 100 days old. Calculating based on the ten months of pregnancy, Shui Bing'er conceived less than two months after her mother's disappearance.
No wonder Shui Bing'er was angry after finding out, constantly calling her father, Shui Xuanyu, a scumbag.
Shui Bing'er didn't want to go home, so Feng Xiaotian looked at Shui Shuang'er and suggested, "Why don't we take Bing'er to relax? We can take a detour and go somewhere else to play."
"Sister, please listen to Brother Xiaotian, okay? I'll definitely work hard to cultivate when we get back," Shui Bing'er said hopefully to Shui Shuang'er.
Shui Shuang'er thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then let's go see other places, but we can only play for three days at most. We must return to Tianshui City on the fourth day."
In the past two days, she had seen the gap between herself and Feng Xiaotian, and also the gap between Tianshui Academy and this year's class and Chihuo Academy.
Especially since Chihuo Academy would have opponents who could use Martial Soul Fusion Techniques in two years, and these two would definitely become Soul Masters in two years, making them even more difficult to deal with.
She couldn't wait to return to the academy and cultivate with her sisters.
Shui Bing'er was overjoyed upon hearing this, hugged Shui Shuang'er and gave her a kiss, then hugged Feng Xiaotian, wanting to give him a kiss as well.
"Ahem, Bing'er, mind your image," Shui Shuang'er reminded her.
Shui Bing'er then realized her mistake and shyly retreated.
At that moment, Feng Xiaotian felt as if he had just missed something good. (The

1.8times+Chapter 59: Revisiting Heaven Dou City Chapter 59 Revisiting Heaven Dou City
Shui Bing'er was overjoyed to have three more days to play outside.
Feng Xiaotian asked her where she most wanted to go, and she revealed that she most wanted to go to Heaven Dou City.
These past few days, she had followed Shui Xuanyu to the cities of the other four elements, passing through Heaven Dou City without stopping to explore.
Heaven Dou City was, after all, the imperial capital and the most prosperous city in the entire Heaven Dou Empire, making it the place Shui Bing'er was most curious about along the way.
However, it was still dangerous for Feng Xiaotian to go to Heaven Dou City at this moment. There was Dugu Bo and He Shaoyuan, both Soul Douluo level, one of whom was at the peak of the Soul Douluo realm. He couldn't currently defeat either of them.
But unable to resist Shui Bing'er's persistent pleas, Feng Xiaotian had no choice but to agree, only needing to disguise himself slightly.
Fortunately, Heaven Dou City wasn't far, so he led the two directly from Blazing Fire City to Heaven Dou City. With a fast carriage, they could arrive in a day.
For the past three years, Feng Xiaotian had been in a constant state of cultivation, not wasting a single day, and rarely had the opportunity to go out and explore.
This time, he decided to relax for a few days and visit Tiandou City. It would also be a good opportunity to inquire about Dugu Bo; he had been eyeing the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a long time.
After sending the two women back to Tianshui City, he would head to the Star Dou Great Forest. His parents wouldn't take him, but he could go by himself.
The three of them traveled smoothly without encountering any robbers or other unexpected events. That evening, they drove into Tiandou City.
As they approached the city, Feng Xiaotian took out a black mask, or rather, a face shield, which he usually wore while cultivating in Hurricane Valley.
With the mask on and the changes in his appearance over the past three years, they probably wouldn't recognize him, Feng Xiaotian thought.
However, upon entering Tiandou City, he sensed something was different. The entire city seemed to be on high alert.
Tiandou City was also under a no-leave-only policy, indicating something must have happened.
"Xiaotian, Tiandou City seems different. Let's quickly find a hotel to stay in," Shui Shuang'er said to Feng Xiaotian, also noticing something amiss.
Just as Feng Xiaotian entered Tiandou City...
In the main hall of the Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace,
Emperor Xue Ye sat on the throne, flanked by Prince Xue Xing and the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe.
Below them stood the ministers of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
"The Second Prince died suddenly a year ago, and today the Third Prince has suffered the same fate. Who dares to tarnish my royal bloodline?" Emperor Xue Ye's voice was hoarse with grief.
In just one year, he had lost two of his most promising princes. One was intelligent and wise, and he was preparing to make him crown prince; the other was exceptionally talented, cultivating rapidly, and destined to become a master of the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family.
Now, both had died suddenly from poisoning under the same circumstances. The loss of his two most outstanding princes had devastated him.
Fortunately, he still had two other princes: one was only seven years old, and the other was fifteen-year-old Xue Qinghe. What was particularly comforting was that Xue Qinghe had recently demonstrated remarkable abilities.
Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe and said, "Qinghe, tell me, how should we investigate the deaths of your second and third brothers?"
Qian Renxue knew that Emperor Xueye might suspect her.
Most people would be suspicious of the deaths of these two princes, since the biggest beneficiary was the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe.
However, Qian Renxue was prepared. With a hint of sadness in her expression, she replied, "Reporting to Father, the sudden and mysterious deaths of my second and third brothers, and the physicians' conclusion of poisoning, I believe we should thoroughly investigate all their food and contact with outsiders on that day, including palace maids and guards. We could even start by investigating everyone my third brother has been in contact with in the past few days." "
Qinghe's considerations are quite thorough. Xuexing, what are your thoughts?" Emperor Xueye asked, turning to Prince Xuexing, who was around fifty years old.
"I believe Your Highness is right, but we shouldn't limit ourselves to the palace. It's also possible that a powerful expert from Tiandou City poisoned them. Such an expert would at least be a Soul Saint level expert or a Soul Master with special Soul Skills. I have already ordered Tiandou City to strengthen its defenses; everyone can only enter for the time being, not leave," Prince Xuexing replied.
"Qinghe, what do you think?" Xue Ye asked Xue Qinghe slowly.
"I think what my royal uncle said is correct. In fact, we can also ask the Platinum Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall for help. Firstly, we can find some people with special spirits and experts in Heaven Dou City, especially experts in poison." Qian Renxue replied, then looked at Prince Xue Xing. She knew that Prince Xue Xing's mansion had a peak Soul Douluo-level expert in poison.
Since she dared to do it, Qian Renxue had already made a foolproof plan. Moreover, the person who did this had already left Heaven Dou City. They would never think that it was a Title Douluo who did it, and they would definitely not leave any clues.
"Alright, let's do it the way you two suggested. Xue Xing, you will thoroughly investigate this matter. Qinghe, you will assist from the side. You should learn and ask more questions by your royal uncle's side. I'm sleepy, you may all leave." Xue Ye said wearily.
After Emperor Xueye left with the help of palace maids, Qian Renxue bowed to Prince Xuexing and said, "I entrust this matter to you, Uncle. You must find the murderer of my third brother."
"Don't worry, I will definitely investigate to the end," Xuexing said softly, while observing the seemingly sorrowful Xue Qinghe before him.
Although he had no evidence, he already had some suspicions that this eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, might be the culprit.
At the same time, Feng Xiaotian also entered the hotel. Having heard the news of the third prince's death that morning, he knew that Qian Renxue was definitely behind it.
Poisoning two princes in a year without leaving any trace, turning it into an unsolved case, one had to admire her abilities.
Although there were no flaws, some people suspected her, namely Prince Xuexing, who always believed that Xue Qinghe was the one who did it.
Afterwards, he began to silently support Xue Beng, teaching him how to survive. It was from this time that Xue Beng became a spoiled royal.
Many people in the hotel were discussing this matter.
"It seems we shouldn't have come to Tiandou City at this time," Shui Shuang'er said somewhat unhappily, glancing at Shui Bing'er.
Feng Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's alright. Since we're here, let's not regret it. But these next few days might not be so fun, Bing'er, you'd better be prepared."
"I know, it's all my fault for saying we should come to Tiandou City. But I was just curious! Last time when I went to Elephant Armor Academy, I passed through Tiandou City, only a few hundred meters from the city gate, and Dad wouldn't let me come in to take a look. He's so stingy. Brother Xiaotian is the best," Shui Bing'er pouted. Shui
Shuang'er looked at Shui Bing'er's attitude towards Feng Xiaotian. It had only been a few days, and she felt that her younger sister was even friendlier to Feng Xiaotian than to her, her own older sister.
"No, I have to go back and teach her a lesson, otherwise she'll easily be led astray by men in the future," Shui Shuang'er suddenly thought.

1.8times+Chapter 60 Crisis Chapter 60 Crisis
Feng Xiaotian chose to stay at the best hotel in Tiandou City.
That night, Tiandou City was in an uproar, destined to be anything but ordinary.
In the morning, before dawn, Feng Xiaotian, as usual, rose early to meditate and cultivate. He had slept relatively well, and no one had disturbed him during the night.
But just as he began his meditation, he heard a series of knocks on the door.
"Hello, room check."
It was bound to happen; such a major event had occurred, and two princes had died of poisoning within a year of each other.
A city-wide search was warranted.
However, Feng Xiaotian had little to do with the deaths of the two princes and wasn't afraid of the search.
Opening the door, he saw several guards standing outside, with two middle-aged men standing between them.
One wore the insignia of a guest minister of the Tiandou Empire, and the other wore the insignia of the Spirit Hall.
"What do you want to investigate?" Feng Xiaotian asked, surprised that the Tiandou Empire had joined forces with the Spirit Hall.
Unexpectedly, the Spirit Hall had also intervened in this matter. Feng Xiaotian figured it was mostly just a formality, since it was Qian Renxue who had orchestrated it.
The middle-aged man from the Heaven Dou Empire spoke first: "Excuse me for disturbing your rest time. I am Liu Rong, a first-level guest elder of the Empire. I'm here on routine to check your Soul Master level and Soul Skills. This is the Imperial Inspection Order; please cooperate."
"Checking your Soul Master level is one thing, but why are you checking your Soul Skills too?" Feng Xiaotian asked, puzzled.
Liu Rong was a first-level royal guest elder of the Empire, meaning he possessed Soul King-level strength.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, royal guest elders were divided into five levels, from Soul King to Title Douluo, with Title Douluo being the highest.
Liu Rong immediately replied, "Don't worry, we're just looking for people with special Martial Souls and Soul Skills."
"This is a hotel; using Soul Skills might damage things here," Feng Xiaotian said.
Liu Rong then looked at the middle-aged man beside him and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
The middle-aged man nodded and immediately took out six stones of similar size, forming a hexagon around Feng Xiaotian.
Behind him was a reddish-brown lion martial soul, a fire lion.
Five soul rings lit up, two yellow, two purple, and one black.
The six stones then emitted a dazzling light, forming a protective shield around Feng Xiaotian.
"Release your martial soul first, then unleash your soul skills inside. This shield can withstand attacks from those below the Soul King level," the middle-aged man from the Martial Soul Hall said.
It seemed the other side had made thorough preparations, and judging from the two men's mental state, they probably hadn't slept all night, having been searching the city.
Feng Xiaotian immediately released his martial soul, and one yellow and two purple soul rings lit up. His martial soul, the Devouring Wolf, was also released.
Upon seeing this, Liu Rong actually showed delight and said, "Capture him and take him away."
"Why capture me?" Feng Xiaotian didn't retract his martial soul and immediately prepared for battle.
Liu Rong chuckled, "I know about your battle with the genius Chris from the Balang family three years ago, and you should know that this battle involved the Second Prince and the Third Prince. I now suspect you're connected to their deaths."
"That doesn't prove I'm related to them, and I only arrived in Tiandou City yesterday evening," Feng Xiaotian explained.
"So what? Go explain to Mr. He yourself," Liu Rong said.
Both were Soul King level experts; he was blocked by them, and his only escape route was through the air.
This Liu Rong seemed to be under the control of those two princes and had connections to the Balang family. Handing him over to He Shaoyuan would be certain death.
However, this might implicate Shui Shuang'er and Shui Bing'er, who lived next door, since he had paid for those two rooms.
But now they'd be implicated no matter what, and Feng Xiaotian couldn't just sit idly by.
"Quickly withdraw your martial soul and surrender!" Liu Rong's spirit rings lit up; his martial soul was a willow tree, a plant-based spirit, likely a control-type.
Feng Xiaotian immediately turned to try and escape through the window, but just as he was about to leave, he realized he was trapped in a protective shield. This shield could withstand attacks from anyone below the Soul King level.
However, it wasn't unbreakable. He immediately unleashed several wind blades, directing the wind towards the stones.
This was based on the six stones; if he destroyed them, the shield would crumble.
Bang…
Under the attack of the wind blades, the shield indeed broke.
"Clever kid, can you escape the control of a control-type Soul King like me?" Liu Rong said confidently.
Even among Soul Masters of the same level, ordinary Soul Masters would find it difficult to escape the control of a control-type Soul Master.
Feng Xiaotian knew this well, and immediately, as Liu Rong initiated his control, he unleashed ten wind blades at once. Although Liu Rong was strong, he was using his first Soul Skill.
Feng Xiaotian's first soul skill was already quite powerful. The ten wind blades he unleashed shredded the willow vines upon contact.
At that moment, Feng Xiaotian leaped out of the window.
Activating his third soul skill, the Heavenly Wolf Wings, he instantly escaped the Soul King's control.
Boom…
But just as Feng Xiaotian was about to fly away, Liu Rong suddenly shouted, "Aren't you going to leave them?" He had
already investigated beforehand and knew they were with the people in the next room. In the instant Feng Xiaotian tried to escape,
Liu Rong used his soul skill to knock down the hotel wall, directly binding Shui Shuang'er and Shui Bing'er.
"Brother Xiaotian, save me!" Shui Bing'er cried out, looking at Feng Xiaotian flying through the air.
Shui Shuang'er and Shui Bing'er had just noticed the commotion when the wall suddenly collapsed.
They had no idea someone was controlling them with vines; they were still wearing light blue pajamas when they were controlled.
Shui Shuang'er and Shui Bing'er also released their martial souls, but they were completely helpless against the control of the Soul King.
"There's actually an Ice Phoenix martial soul. Liu Rong, be careful not to hurt that little girl," said the middle-aged Soul Master from the Spirit Hall. A
top-tier martial soul like the Ice Phoenix was enough to qualify them for recruitment into the Spirit Hall.
Although he was there to cooperate with the inspection, he wouldn't let such a promising talent slip by.
"Don't worry, I only want that kid. You can deal with these two girls," Liu Rong said.
Feng Xiaotian knew that he really couldn't leave this time. It was too late to regret bringing them to Heaven Dou City. He could only say it was bad luck that he had come to Heaven Dou City just in time for Qian Renxue's poisoning of the Third Prince.
He hadn't expected that a mere hotel inspection would bring two Soul Kings, who could control Shui Shuang'er and Shui Bing'er so quickly.
"I can go with you, but you must release them," Feng Xiaotian said, feigning compromise.
After a moment's thought, Liu Rong replied, "Alright, I agree."
Capturing this person today was incredibly lucky; he was someone He Shaoyuan, a fourth-level Royal Guest Elder, the Crimson Water Poisonous Python, wanted.
He had originally planned to capture these two women as well and give them to He Shaoyuan, but since the Spirit Hall needed them, he would give them face.
This way, he could both curry favor with a Soul Douluo powerhouse and improve relations with the Spirit Hall—a win-win situation.
