Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 294 How could a soul skill possibly compare to a well-trained physical body? (Bonus Chapter)
On the Xingluo Academy side, even without Xu Sanshi's participation, Xu Jiujiu's star crown still shone brightly.

Her third spirit ring lit up, and a powerful golden beam of light shot into the sky.

The interior of this golden beam of light is completely presented as a golden mist, with dots of starlight hovering and rising in it, which looks extremely strange.

Immediately afterwards, the rising golden mist quickly spread out, enveloping the other six members of their team.

Suddenly, every member of the Star Luo National Team was covered with a layer of gold. The golden halo around Princess Jiujiu's body did not dissipate, and starlight continued to rush out from her star crown.

This was Xu Jiujiu's trump card when she first dealt with Xu Sanshi: the Starry Sky Technique.

Not only can it greatly enhance the attributes of teammates, but it can also shroud everyone in golden mist, blocking their vision and preventing mental detection, effectively eliminating Xu Sanshi.

It's a pity Xu Sanshi didn't play; that kid was probably having a good time in the rest area.

With such speed, Ma Xiaotao had already reached the front of the enemy formation in such a short time.

Blazing phoenix flames shot into the sky, and the enormous phoenix wings spread out, spewing a stream of phoenix fire towards the opposing Soul King directly in front of him.

This Soul King is named Huang Heyun. Being able to stand at the front, he is naturally a powerful offensive Soul Master, and his Martial Soul is the rather rare Dark Demon Tiger.

Yes, it's that dark attribute martial soul that gets turned into an evil soul master every now and then.

Huang Heyun was lucky. Although he also had a dark attribute martial soul, he was not identified as an evil soul master like Wuyun Douluo. He was even able to stand on the fighting stage and fight against Ma Xiaotao.

Seeing Huang Heyun, whose physique under the influence of his martial spirit was no less imposing than Dai Yueheng's, Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly and instead of retreating, charged forward to meet the dark demonic tiger's shadow.

With a loud phoenix cry, her fiery wings suddenly unfurled, and in that instant, Ma Xiaotao seemed to have truly transformed into a fire phoenix.

The blazing phoenix flames suddenly intensified from fiery red to incandescent white.

After holding back for so long, Ma Xiaotao finally found the perfect outlet for her inner power.

Huang Heyun was taken aback. The blazing flames were already in front of him, and he was horrified to find that he felt completely unable to resist them.

Wherever the incandescent phoenix flames passed, the air within a radius of several meters distorted completely around him.

Is this a Soul Emperor?! This is more like a Soul Saint!

As everyone knows, when a man who has been holding back for a long time releases his power, his combat strength will increase by 30% out of nowhere. Ma Xiaotao's current state is basically the same.

Even though Ning Tian's two soul skills couldn't amplify Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire Line at all, the first burst of Phoenix True Fire that Ma Xiaotao unleashed still produced an amplified effect!
The loud phoenix cry, filled with boundless domineering power and fury, resounded fiercely, even causing Huang Heyun's hair to become scorched and twisted.

Just as Huang Heyun was in a critical moment, suddenly, the pressure in front of him eased, and Ma Xiaotao's incandescent flames actually veered to the side and then rose into the air.

The one who made the move was a woman standing not far behind Huang Heyun.

Five spirit rings pulsed around him, and his right hand was pointing towards Ma Xiaotao. It was she who had lured the Phoenix Fire Line away.

It's obvious that this guy's ability is fire control, and that's how Ma Xiaotao's flames were diverted.

At this moment, not only was Ma Xiaotao restricted by this hook and strike, but Dai Yueheng was also in the same situation. His opponent was a powerful Soul King with the Netherworld Lion Martial Soul, and he also had a wind attribute control support by his side.

With this method, did Star Luo Academy manage to restrain Shrek Academy's two most destructive Soul Emperors using only four Soul Kings?
On Dai Yueheng's side, just as he unleashed the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his body suddenly stiffened. A ring of cyan light rose from beneath his feet, instantly transforming into a small tornado that swept him up. Although it didn't blow him off balance, it forcefully halted his subsequent attack.

On Ma Xiaotao's side, the young lady who had just been burning with passion saw her Phoenix Fire Line being absorbed. Suddenly, her phoenix eyes widened, and a murderous aura appeared on her beautiful face.

The next moment, the soul rings represented by the three soul skills Phoenix Reborn in Fire, Phoenix Wings Soaring to the Sky, and Phoenix Roaring to the Sky Strike lit up almost simultaneously. The terrifying lava pillar was only in the incubation stage, but Huang Heyun had already instantly smelled the breath of death!
Of course he could dodge Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Roaring Strike, which required three seconds to fully unleash, but the key was that while he dodged it, his teammates would suffer!

"Big sister, I can't take it anymore!" Huang Heyun shouted, her face contorted in pain. This Ma Xiaotao was practically trying to kill her!

Xu Jiujiu's face turned ashen. She had never expected that even with four teammates, it would still be so difficult to stop the two Shrek members!
A ball of golden light was flung out from Xu Jiujiu's hand, transforming into a golden light shield that descended from the sky. It instantly rolled back, actually enveloping Ma Xiaotao and her phoenix flames within it!
Ma Xiaotao felt a suffocating sensation descend from the sky, and her body was forced to retreat towards Shrek's position, but the golden light instantly tracked her down and suppressed her within it.

At the top of the golden light shield was a bead with 108 cross sections. The bead was the size of a fist, shining brightly and spinning rapidly.

Trapped inside, Ma Xiaotao immediately launched a frantic attack on the light barrier in front of her, but it only stirred up ripples and could not cause any damage.

What's trapping Ma Xiaotao right now is the so-called Level 7 defensive soul tool - Absolute Defense!
This soul tool is similar to an invincible shield, but its effect is completely opposite. Not only can it last for a full quarter of an hour, but it also traps people from the inside. To break free, one needs at least the combat power of a Soul Saint!

This is Xu Jiujiu's trump card—a trump card that he had to reveal prematurely due to Ma Xiaotao's crazy outburst as soon as he appeared, a trump card costing millions of gold soul coins!

Perhaps the traditional battle spirit system without soul tools wasn't so fair either, as everyone's martial spirit quality and soul ring quality were different, resulting in different combat power.

But in reality, how fair can the competition rules of this era, which impose almost no restrictions on the use of soul tools except for fixed soul tools, really be?
In the previous match, Douling Academy, and in this match, Xingluo Academy, aren't they both using soul tools that cost millions of gold soul coins, hoping to gain an advantage by throwing money around?
As for Chen Ping, would he be averse to the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament under these rules?
of course not.

First, he's not a child anymore; he understands that the messed-up rules of this messed-up world don't change according to human will.

Secondly, it's all about equipment and money. This time, Xingluo Academy has run into a trap!

Watching Ma Xiaotao fly to Shrek's position and finally be trapped by the absolute defense, Chen Ping appeared calm and unhurried, reaching out and tapping on the shield.

Huang Heyun, who originally planned to take advantage of Ma Xiaotao's predicament to inflict more effective damage on Shrek Academy, felt a sense of unease upon seeing Chen Ping's appearance.

Because Chen Ping raised his fist once again, a fist that showed no fluctuation of soul power and looked quite ordinary.

Chen Ping placed his fist in front of the so-called absolute defense, only half a palm's distance away, with his palm open.

What does he want to do?
Everyone at Xingluo Academy—no, everyone present, including Xu Jiawei—had this question on their minds.

"Have you heard of the Beng Quan (崩拳)? It's the kind of fist that can shatter any defense in front of you with a burst of power."

Chen Ping's voice slowly traveled through the microphone.

How could you possibly shatter any defense?

The audience had only one absurd thought: He wouldn't want to use that Crushing Fist to shatter the protective barrier in front of him, would he?
Although most viewers have no idea just how terrifying the defensive power of the Absolute Defense soul tool is.

But they could see that the once arrogant Ma Xiaotao had lost all her power and couldn't transmit her soul skills after being locked up.

How could such a defense be broken by pure physical strength or pure fist techniques!
"How could the power of a soul skill possibly compare to a well-trained physical body?"

"You guys are way too low in purity!"

Almost at the same moment Chen Ping finished speaking, Chen Ping clasped his hands together and formed a fist. With only three or four centimeters of force distance, Chen Ping's crushing fist landed on the absolute defensive soul tool in an instant!
"Click—click-click—click-click-click—"

"Bang!!!"

The next moment, a sharp explosion rang out. The absolute defense, rumored to be able to suppress Soul Saint level experts and costing as much as a million gold soul coins, which only Mingde Hall could produce in small quantities, shattered instantly!
Golden fragments of solid soul power scattered and flew everywhere, some of which reflected the distorted and desperate faces of all the members of Star Luo Academy.

The other fragment reflects the expressions of the audience on the Soul Battle Stage, from disbelief to excitement and fervor, as well as the expressions of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy students whose pupils shrank and whose hair stood on end.

Was what Ma Xiaotao said during the draw true? Is Chen Ping really the strongest player on the entire Shrek team?
