Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 108 Devour!

"Why? Senior, do you have a problem with me?"

Seeing Xu Sanshi's incredible look, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile and spoke.

It was because Elder Mu asked him to keep a low profile that he did not snatch Ma Xiaotao's position in the inner courtyard. Otherwise, considering Ma Xiaotao's current state of suppressing the Evil Fire Phoenix, it would be a pipe dream for her to defeat Luo Chen.

Ma Xiaotao was naturally very clear about this after sparring with Luo Chen. Even after releasing her sixth soul skill, she still couldn't defeat Luo Chen. She even almost triggered the evil fire suppressed in her body, although it finally broke out.

However, this also proves Luo Chen's current strength. He can easily deal with six-ring Soul Emperor level strongmen like Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng. Although he is still unable to fight against the seven-ring Soul Sage who possesses the true body of the martial soul, Luo Chen is still not afraid of those below the seven rings.

Not to mention that when Luo Chen was sparring with Ma Xiaotao, he didn't even use his own soul skills. The only skill he used in the entire sparring was the "Dominate the World" taught by Mu Lao. This was also the first time that Luo Chen used this artistic conception skill in battle.

The effect of Mu Lao's self-created Dominate the World was also amazing. Not only did it suppress Ma Xiaotao's own momentum in an instant, it also made the sixth soul skill she released take effect, allowing Luo Chen to withstand the attack effortlessly.

This is also the reason why Ma Xiaotao believes that Luo Chen’s current strength and talent are even higher than hers. He was able to fight her to a “draw” without using his soul ring. Finally, when Ma Xiaotao was almost unable to hold on, he admitted defeat on the grounds of insufficient soul power.

He was able to force Ma Xiaotao to use her sixth soul skill, and he was able to take on this soul skill with ease. In Ma Xiaotao's heart, she had already regarded Luo Chen as an inner court student of the same level as herself, and not just an outer court student.

What's more, Luo Chen is not even older than Yao Haoxuan, but he was able to break through to the four-ring soul ancestor in the first year of the outer school, and he even possessed an astonishing four ten-thousand-year soul rings, which completely exceeded the Shrek Academy's standards for genius.

It was because of this that Ma Xiaotao took the initiative to give up the title of the first genius of her academy. Although she has now reached the realm of a six-ring soul emperor, she is already twenty years old. But Luo Chen in front of her is only twelve years old.

It was hard to imagine what kind of strength Luo Chen would have when he reached her age, or how long it would take for Luo Chen to reach her current level of a six-ringed Soul Emperor...

The eleven-year-old Four-Ring Soul Sect possesses the combat power of a Soul Emperor and is basically invincible in the Soul King realm. Such talent has completely convinced Ma Xiaotao.

Not to mention Ma Xiaotao, even Zhang Lexuan, who was called the eldest sister by the inner courtyard students, felt a lot of pressure because of this. After all, it only took Luo Chen less than three months to break through from a second-ring great soul master to a fourth-ring soul master!
So if Luo Chen is really promoted from the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy to the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, then what level of strength will he have?

This is unimaginable!

"How can I have an opinion about this? I am just sighing at your talent, Junior Brother Luo. I thought your previous strength was amazing enough, but I didn't expect that even Sister Xiao Tao almost lost to you now..."

At this moment, Xu Sanshi was undoubtedly very shocked. After all, he could still accept that Luo Chen was able to defeat him as a freshman from the outer school. After all, the reason he lost before was because he underestimated his opponent.

However, what Xu Sanshi did not expect was that during the only two months that Luo Chen went to Sea God Island to practice, he actually became the number one genius in Shrek Academy, and even led the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy by a large margin.

This made Xu Sanshi feel like he was in a dream. After all, this was something that was impossible to happen in the history of Shrek Academy. Being able to defeat an inner court student of Shrek Academy as a first-year outer court student was already shocking enough.

It was even enough to shock the entire continent. After all, in the soul master world of the continent, the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy was undoubtedly quite famous. Almost every soul master was familiar with this place known as the Holy Land of Soul Masters.

But everyone knows that the students who can enter the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy are undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses and elites among elites. It can be said that all those who can be listed as inner courtyard students by Shrek Academy are almost all monstrous students with rare talents in martial arts cultivation.

At the very least, they all possessed the talent to cultivate to the seven-ring Soul Saint level. However, these Soul Master geniuses were defeated one after another by the eleven-year-old Luo Chen. Even Ma Xiaotao, the current number one genius in the inner courtyard, almost lost to him.

This made Xu Sanshi feel a little suffocated for a moment. How could a normal soul master achieve such a level? Even the elite students at the three-ring soul master level in the first year of the outer courtyard could not achieve such a level. Compared with Luo Chen, it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon!

At this moment, no matter how much Xu Sanshi didn't want to face it, he had to admit Luo Chen's talent. After all, even Ma Xiaotao admitted that she was not as good as Luo Chen, let alone his strength.

But thinking of this, Xu Sanshi felt much better. After all, even a group of inner courtyard students were defeated by the monster Luo Chen, so it was not surprising that he, the best defense in the outer courtyard, lost to the opponent.

There is no harm without comparison.

With Luo Chen's current strength, it is hard to regard him as an ordinary outer court student. Not only the inner court students, but even the academy's top leaders and the elders who are recuperating in the Poseidon Pavilion are all surprised at Luo Chen's talent and speed of progress.

Perhaps before Luo Chen, there had never been such an outrageous thing. He was able to gain a foothold in the inner courtyard as a freshman in the outer courtyard, and even became the number one genius of Shrek Academy. Even the Dragon God Douluo Moon, who taught Luo Chen, could not compare with him. After all, although Moon had cultivated to the realm of the six-ring soul emperor at the age of fifteen, his strength was unrivaled. He won the final victory in the continental elite soul master competition with a crushing attitude.

But in terms of exaggeration, he is still far from comparable to Luo Chen. At least when Luo Chen was this age, Moon himself did not have four ten thousand year soul rings. Possessing four ten thousand year soul rings is even enough for Luo Chen to fight against a seven-ringed soul saint.

It can be said that it is only a matter of time for Luo Chen to surpass all the previous Dragon God Douluo. According to Luo Chen's estimation, it may only take him another two years to break through to the realm of the Six-ring Soul Emperor in one fell swoop, that is, before he is fourteen years old!
But this is the most conservative number for Luo Chen. If he progresses quickly, he may even be able to break through the sixth ring within a year. After all, he is no longer the same person he was before. In just two months, he was promoted from a second-ring great soul master to a fourth-ring soul master.

As long as Luo Chen wanted, he might even be able to reach the realm of Seven-Ring Soul Saint in two years. However, for now, Luo Chen still had to improve his own combat skills as well as the unique skills taught by Moon.

"I really don't know how you practice. The bottleneck that usually takes a long time to break through seems to be non-existent to you. Even my evil fire has no effect on you..."

"I say, you are not really a soul beast in human form, otherwise how could my evil fire have no effect on you? You should know that even a soul master with a pure fire attribute martial soul will only end up being burned to ashes when facing my evil fire."

"But you can not only ignore my evil fire, but you can even absorb the energy of my evil fire to fight back against me. Isn't this a bit too much? Even if you are a genius, you can't be so perverted, right?"

Seeing Luo Chen's calm appearance, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but feel a little tired. She used to think that her talent was the best in the world and that she could surpass her teacher Yan Shaozhe. But after meeting Luo Chen, she finally understood how to write the word genius.

In the inner courtyard, she had seen many talented soul masters, such as Zhang Lexuan, Dai Yueheng, and even the rising star Yao Haoxuan, but the talent gap between them was not that big, not to the point where it could not be made up.

But now Luo Chen has truly broken Ma Xiaotao's cognition. Any soul master who has been affected by her evil fire during a competition will almost certainly be defeated in the first moment. After all, the horrifying temperature of the evil fire alone is something that no normal person can withstand.

If they resist rashly, then with the temperature of Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, it can even turn all flesh and blood into ashes in the first moment, without any residue left!

However, this extremely domineering and invincible evil fire seemed to wilt in front of Luo Chen and had no effect at all. This made Ma Xiaotao question her own evil fire for the first time.

You have to know that with this evil fire of the six-ring Soul Emperor level, even a soul master of the so-called seven-ring Soul Saint level will only die if he is caught in it without any resistance. There is no other outcome at all.

However, Luo Chen was able to completely isolate the evil fire and even absorb the energy of the evil fire to use it to counterattack himself. This was what puzzled Ma Xiaotao.

She was also aware of how strange Luo Chen's martial soul was. A sickle with an extremely strong aura of death could easily break through the defensive soul skills of a five-ring soul king-level soul master. Even a fifth-level defensive soul guide was useless under Luo Chen's sickle.

But in the final analysis, Luo Chen is still a weapon spirit master. No matter how terrifying or amazing his own strength is, he cannot withstand the astonishingly powerful evil fire.

In Ma Xiaotao's imagination, only the so-called ultimate attribute soul masters, such as soul masters with ultimate fire martial souls or ultimate ice martial souls, can resist her evil fire very easily.

As for the so-called soul masters with weapon spirits, when faced with her extremely terrifying evil fire, they would usually be burned and flee everywhere, not to mention someone like Luo Chen who could resist the evil fire so easily.

However, in the face of Ma Xiaotao's doubts, Luo Chen also gave an explanation:
"Senior, you are not good at learning the basic knowledge of martial spirits. Have you ever seen the records of soul beasts in human form? Are there any with weapon spirits? Besides, I hang around Sea God Island every day. If I am really a soul beast in human form, wouldn't I have been captured by Master Xuan and a group of elders long ago?"

"As for why I can ignore your evil fire, it's actually very simple. My own martial spirit has the ability to devour and even absorb. Let alone your evil fire, even if it's the ultimate fire, it will be played around with in my hands!"

After Luo Chen successfully broke through the Four-Ring Soul Sect, his own martial soul evolved again. Not only did the Scythe of Death become sharper, but even the abilities attached to the martial soul and the level of the soul rings were improved.

Now, the life-absorbing skill of Luo Chen's Death Scythe martial soul is no longer limited to so-called life. Any substance composed of energy can be absorbed and devoured by Luo Chen!
Therefore, the evil fire released by Ma Xiaotao's so-called evil fire phoenix could only be ruthlessly swallowed by Luo Chen. However, swallowing these fire-attribute energies would not have any effect on Luo Chen himself. Without the absorption of vitality, it would naturally be impossible for the Death Scythe martial soul to evolve.

Therefore, even if Luo Chen devoured all of Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, he could only counter it to the opponent, and Luo Chen's devouring ability also had an upper limit. Now the evil fire released by Ma Xiaotao, who was at the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor, was still within his devouring range.

Once it breaks through the seven-ring Soul Saint, even if Luo Chen uses all his strength, he will not be able to devour even a little bit. This is the upper limit of what the martial soul can bear. If it is devoured by force, the devoured evil fire will only backfire on Luo Chen himself.

Therefore, when facing a strong man at the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint, Luo Chen's devouring ability would be of no use. After all, this devouring ability not only has an upper limit to its absorption, but also extremely consumes Luo Chen's own soul power and mental power.

It is even more difficult to rely on the devoured energy to defeat the opponent. After all, Ma Xiaotao has a strong ability to resist the evil fire released by herself. In addition to energy attacks, the terrifying temperature of the evil fire has no effect on it at all.
