Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Shrek Academy suffered an attack, and Dragon God Douluo Mu En perished prematurely. These heavy blows are all inextricably linked to the incident when Xuanzi forced the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to seize the Sword of Judgment. In this sense, Shrek Academy has undoubtedly suffered a huge loss.

If Xuanzi had foreseen the severe consequences of seizing an eighth-level soul tool, I wonder if he would have dared to so forcefully pressure the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, all of that is in the past, and Meteor doesn't want to dwell on it too much. At this moment, facing Ma Xiaotao, who is like a puppet in front of him, he knows that it is pointless to communicate with her. After all, how can a person whose mind has been controlled have a normal conversation?
"Oh!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, like a thunderclap in the air. A meteor burst forth, and his body, like a bolt of lightning, broke the sound barrier at an incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ma Xiaotao and threw a punch without hesitation. This punch contained violent power, and flames were burning on his fist. The flames spread along the silver-white mecha, like a volcano about to erupt, accumulating endless energy and carrying a terrifying impact that could destroy the world, and went straight towards Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao reacted just as quickly. Just as Meteor's fist was about to fall, a clear and melodious phoenix cry suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, black flames erupted from her body like a surging tide. The flames carried an eerie aura, as if they came from the depths of hell, and they confronted the crimson flames of the meteor head-on, showing no weakness.

"boom--"

A silver fist wreathed in crimson flames collided violently with a pink fist wreathed in black flames.

In an instant, the air seemed unable to bear the weight, and like a fragile spider web, it instantly shattered.

Black and red lightning burst forth wildly in the void, like ferocious dragons twisting their bodies madly.

The violent airflow, centered on the point of impact, surged upwards like a raging wave, even scattering the thick clouds high in the sky.

The sunlight streamed down without obstruction, gently illuminating the two people facing each other below.

The warm light draped them in a dreamlike golden veil, giving the fierce battle a mysterious and beautiful quality.

On this tense and fierce arena, the spirit rings on both sides shone brightly, like dazzling stars reflecting each other.

Meteor had only seven spirit rings shining on him, while Ma Xiaotao had eight spirit rings surrounding her.

However, the number of spirit rings is not the only standard for measuring strength. In terms of the quality of spirit rings, Meteor's spirit ring configuration is luxurious, far surpassing Ma Xiaotao's.

Ma Xiaotao possesses the top-tier beast spirit—the Black Phoenix—and also wields the power of ultimate fire.

Although her flames were slightly inferior to Meteor's in terms of temperature and quality, and were completely suppressed by Meteor's flames, Ma Xiaotao managed to maintain an undefeated position in this fierce battle thanks to her superior cultivation.

Meteor raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Ma Xiaotao's physical strength exceeded his original expectations. As expected of a powerhouse with the top-tier beast martial soul Phoenix, her physical qualities were indeed extraordinary.

However, Meteor didn't pay too much attention to this, after all, he hadn't used his full strength yet. He stomped his foot hard, and a surge of flames erupted on the arena, with scorching magma shooting into the sky like a fountain.

Within this magma, a lava sword radiating rolling heat rose from the ground, its blade imbued with boundless fiery power. Like a roaring beast, it charged straight at Ma Xiaotao's body, hurtling towards the sky.

Ma Xiaotao reacted swiftly, immediately using both hands to block the oncoming lava sword. Despite this, her body was still uncontrollably propelled into the sky by the powerful force. But Ma Xiaotao was no ordinary person; soon, jet-black flames ignited on her body, flickering with an eerie light, as if they came from the deepest hell.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of large black wings suddenly spread out behind her, the feathers shimmering with a black luster, as if each one contained a powerful force.

At the same time, a huge phantom of a black phoenix slowly emerged behind her, emanating a chilling aura.

With this power, Ma Xiaotao managed to block the meteor's incredibly powerful "cliff-breaking sword".

Ma Xiaotao's figure spun rapidly in the air, her black wings unfurling freely, each flap creating a strong gust of air.

As it rotated, jet-black fireballs quietly condensed in the void, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations as if they were about to explode at any moment.

"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

A cold voice drifted from the sky. Compared to its former fiery and arrogant tone, the voice now sounded extremely hollow, as if it had lost its soul, leaving only endless coldness and ruthlessness.

With that command, the black fireballs that had condensed and taken shape rained down on the meteor like a deluge.

Each fireball contained immense power, like a meteor falling from the sky, carrying the momentum to destroy everything.

Upon seeing this, Meteor's eyes suddenly lit up, and a surge of excitement welled up in his heart. This was a perfect opportunity to test his newly acquired soul skill! As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a powerful and majestic dragon's might instantly spread out.

This dragon's might seemed to come from ancient times, carrying boundless majesty and domineering power, causing everyone present to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening dragon roar exploded, as if it would tear the entire world apart.

Behind the meteor, an enormous fire dragon slowly materialized. The dragon was incredibly lifelike, its scales shimmering with dazzling light, like exquisite gemstones.

It opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and aimed at the black rain that was falling like a torrential downpour.

"Soul Bone Skill, Roar of the Fire Dragon King!"

With a loud shout, the raging flames were instantly compressed, gradually condensing into a deep, crimson sphere of light within the fire dragon's mouth.

This ball of light contained terrifying energy, like a miniature sun about to explode. As Meteor unleashed his Soul Bone Technique with all his might, a crimson pillar of light shot into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire heavens. The power contained in that pillar of light was incredibly strong, and the surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the intense heat.

The overwhelming black meteor shower was instantly swept away by this powerful crimson beam of light.
