Chapter 146 Soul Emperor, Feng Xiaotian. Deep within the
Heavenly Dragon Empire's imperial palace, in a quiet room
, Yun Shan, sitting upright on a futon, suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
However, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he muttered to himself, "The Star Luo Empire is truly arrogant to the extreme, daring to offend the Heavenly Dragon Empire with such meager strength."
Immediately afterward, Yun Shan sent a telepathic message to Lan Minghua, saying that he would win beautifully.
Upon receiving Yun Shan's response, Lan Minghua felt completely relieved.
He stretched leisurely, a contented smile on his face, and comfortably assumed the role of a hands-off manager.
His daily routine consisted of eating, sleeping, and training his disciples.
Going to work was out of the question, never in his life.
In the Heavenly Dragon Empire's imperial palace, a hint of excitement appeared on Yun Shan's face.
After all, two years had passed since he last truly made a move. During
these two years, he had been managing the Heavenly Dragon Empire, feeling as if his muscles and bones had become stiff and rusty.
He stretched his body, and a series of crisp cracking sounds came from his joints.
Yun Shan clenched his fist, muttering to himself, a hint of excitement lurking in his voice, a excitement long suppressed.
"Since the people of the Star Luo Empire are courting death, then kill them all!"
He then transmitted his voice to Feng Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, come see me."
A short while later, a series of hurried yet steady footsteps sounded, and Feng Xiaotian appeared before Yun Shan.
He stood tall, his eyes resolute, his face respectful.
He immediately knelt on one knee and called out loudly to Yun Shan, "Second Master!"
Feng Xiaotian was originally Lan Minghua's disciple, but it wasn't suitable to teach him .
Yun Shan, being of the wind attribute, possessed unique expertise in its application and techniques.
Therefore, he was more suitable to teach Feng Xiaotian.
So Lan Minghua had Feng Xiaotian acknowledge Yun Shan as his second master, while he himself became a hands-off mentor.
Even if Feng Xiaotian wasn't taught by him to become stronger, he could still gain Master Points,
though it would be less.
Yunshan was very satisfied with this disciple. His eyes were sharp as he scrutinized Feng Xiaotian.
He saw that Feng Xiaotian's soul power was fluctuating intensely, indicating that he had already broken through to become a Soul Emperor.
In just two years, his soul power level had increased by more than ten levels.
Such a cultivation speed was nothing short of monstrous.
Yunshan nodded in satisfaction, a gratified smile on his face: "Xiaotian, get up. You've reached Soul Emperor in just two years; I'm very pleased with you."
Feng Xiaotian stood up and said humbly, "This is all thanks to the meticulous guidance of Master and Second Master, as well as the excellent cultivation environment of the Heavenly Dragon Empire."
Yunshan shook his head slightly, his expression becoming serious.
"Xiaotian, how long has it been since you truly experienced a life-or-death battle?"
Feng Xiaotian didn't know why Yunshan asked this, but he still answered honestly, "Second Master, it's been two years."
Indeed, since the Soul Master Exchange Tournament of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he hadn't experienced a life-or-death moment again.
Yunshan said solemnly, "You must understand that simply burying yourself in hard training, while it may improve your strength, is far from enough to become a true powerhouse.
Next, the Star Luo Empire will attack our Heavenly Dragon Empire, and I intend to send you to the battlefield for experience. Only in actual combat can you truly grow."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation, and he replied without hesitation, "Yes, Second Master! I will certainly not disappoint you."
In the past two years, not only had his soul power increased rapidly, but his combat strength had also greatly improved.
He had devoted himself to mastering the Wind God Leg technique taught by Lan Minghua, as well as the Wind Extreme Meteor Strike and Great Wind Handprint taught by Yunshan, and had now achieved some minor success in both.
In addition, he had also upgraded his self-created soul skill, the Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, to the Gale Wolf Seventy-Two Consecutive Slashes.
The power of this move had increased several times over.
At this moment, although Feng Xiaotian was only a Soul Emperor, with his numerous powerful techniques, he possessed combat strength comparable to a Soul Saint.
Yunshan, seeing Feng Xiaotian's confident demeanor, nodded slightly and continued,
"Xiaotian, you will lead a 10,000-strong Flying Army as the vanguard. This battle is one of absolute victory; defeat is not an option. Show your master the spirit of the Star Luo Empire."
With that, he produced a transfer order and handed it to Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian accepted the order with both hands, his eyes resolute: "Second Master, rest assured, I will do my utmost."
Having said that, he turned and strode away quickly, his steps hurried and powerful. He had spent two years honing his skills in the military, deeply understanding the importance of speed in warfare.
Under Yun Shan's meticulous planning and promotion, the Tianlong Empire had undergone a dramatic transformation.
With the help of Lan Minghua's cultivation furnace, the number of Soul Masters in the Tianlong Empire had exploded.
Now, the entire army of the Tianlong Empire was composed of Soul Masters.
Although most were only Soul Masters or Great Soul Masters, the lowest rank for the Imperial Guard and the Flying Army was Soul Master.
Their strength was several times greater than that of the former Tiandou Empire.
In contrast, the Xingluo Empire, while possessing over thirty Title Douluos and seemingly powerful,
still had its army largely composed of ordinary mortals.
These mortal armies were incredibly weak against Soul Master armies.
Then there was the Tianlong Empire's Flying Army, a special army composed entirely of flying Soul Masters or those equipped with flying Soul Tools.
Their mobility and attack power were extremely strong, making them a sharp blade for the empire.
This was also a key reason why Yunshan dared to entrust Feng Xiaotian, a Soul Emperor, with the Flying Army to the battlefield.
Watching Feng Xiaotian's departing figure, Yunshan suddenly chuckled softly and muttered to himself, "Who said the Heavenly Dragon Empire has few Title Douluos?"
Before he finished speaking, twenty or thirty powerful auras suddenly surged forth—all of them Title Douluos.
It turned out that in the past two years, Lan Minghua's disciples had made rapid progress on their respective cultivation paths, becoming increasingly powerful.
He had thus gained a large number of Master Points.
Using these Master Points, he had drawn dozens of Title Douluos from the system.
It could be said that the Heavenly Dragon Empire's number of Title Douluos far exceeded that of the Star Luo Empire. In fact
, it could be said that the Heavenly Dragon Empire's number of Title Douluos was roughly equivalent to the combined number of all other forces on the continent.
However, the people of the Star Luo Empire were unaware of this, still indulging in their daydreams of overwhelming power.
Yunshan instructed one of the Title Douluos, "You secretly follow Xiaotian. Only rescue him when his life hangs in the balance; do not overprotect him."
Only on the brink of death can the human body unleash its strongest power.
The Title Douluo nodded slightly, accepted the order, and vanished in a flash.
Yunshan then gave tasks to the other Title Douluos, instructing them to prepare.
Everyone accepted their orders and disappeared from the palace to their respective mission locations.
Time flies like an arrow.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye amidst the intense pre-battle preparations.
Meanwhile, on the border between the Tianlong Empire and the Xingluo Empire, a massive Xingluo Empire army stood tall.
This army numbered over 100,000.
However, the vast majority were ordinary mortals; only a few thousand were Soul Masters, and these Soul Masters were all Ling Leishi's personal guards.
Ling Leishi stood at the forefront of the army, his burly frame resembling a small mountain.
His eyes gleamed with fanaticism as he stared intently at the border of the Tianlong Empire.
He seemed to see the glory of marquises, even dukes, beckoning him from that land.
His ambition swelled to its peak, and he impatiently issued the order to attack.
"All troops, listen to my command! Charge! Break through the Tianlong Empire's border defenses! No need for surrender, slaughter them all! Today, we must win a glorious first battle for the Xingluo Empire!"
His voice resounded like a booming bell, filled with madness and determination.
With Ling Leishi's command, the 100,000-strong army sprang into action.
In an instant, ten thousand horses galloped, their hooves thundering, raising clouds of dust that blotted out the sun.
Even the pebbles on the ground trembled violently, like startled fleas.
However, just as the Xingluo Empire's army was about to breach the Tianlong Empire's defenses, an unexpected event occurred.
A series of dark figures flashed out from the direction of the Heavenly Dragon Empire like lightning; these were the Flying Sky Army, led by Feng Xiaotian.
This army of ten thousand men roared out of the Heavenly Dragon Empire like a flock of birds of prey unleashed.
Feng Xiaotian's gaze was fixed intently on the Star Luo Empire army on the ground, and he immediately gave the order:
"Kill them!"
