Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 27 A sparring match shattered my dream of becoming a Soul Master!

The training ground, which serves as a place for the inner academy to practice combat, is located on a hill about 100 meters high on the east side of Poseidon Island.

The top of this hill appears to have been flattened by some sharp object, forming a roughly 100-meter-diameter, irregularly shaped flat area. A thick layer of granite covers this area, firmly attached to the hillside.

This training ground was built to the level of combat intensity for inner court students. If Ye Xixuan, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi were to spar with each other, they could go all out.

The evil energy within her soul power was completely drained from Ye Xixuan's body, and Ma Xiaotao was in a rather good mood during this period. After all, as long as Ye Xixuan was by her side, she wouldn't have to worry about being troubled by the evil fire during her future cultivation.

Moreover, it wasn't just the evil energy; the impure dark attribute aura deep within her martial soul's origin was also being gradually separated out.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before her martial soul becomes a pure fire phoenix.

Ye Xixuan had been eager to spar with Bei Bei for a long time, and when he remembered what Bei Bei had said before they set off, he couldn't help but tease her.

"Senior Brother Bei, to use your words from last time, this can be considered a meeting at the peak."

"Let's hope we don't meet at the summit. If Elder Xuan hears about it, he'll send me down to settle down again." Bei Bei's face darkened as she thought of the painful experiences she had recently gone through.

When they parted ways that day, Elder Xuan flew directly to the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest and then simply threw him down. He called it a chance for him to gain some experience on his own, which could indeed be considered a true 'going down to settle down'.

Do you know what kind of hardship I've been going through these past few days?

"But the gains must have been considerable." People's joys and sorrows are not shared, and Ye Xixuan could not possibly empathize with Bei Bei, so he just offered a casual word of comfort.

He found his trip with his senior sister quite interesting. Almost nothing went wrong, and he even witnessed her stunning beauty in battle, which was a delight to behold.

Thinking about the interesting expression that Xu Sanshi might see on his face, Bei Bei's expression softened a little, and then she and Ye Xixuan walked to opposite sides of the training ground.

Xu Sanshi stood at the edge of the field with Ma Xiaotao, but out of respect for Ma Xiaotao, he did not dare to get too close to her.

"Sister Xiaotao, the Xixuan you're talking about looks a few years younger than Beibei, right?" This guy noticed that Ma Xiaotao and Ye Xixuan were quite close, and now he's deliberately trying to sow discord between Beibei.

"Isn't this bullying the weak?"

Ma Xiaotao glanced casually at Xu Sanshi, who was pretending to be indignant, and said something surprising.

Is he big?

"Uh..." Xu Sanshi was stunned by Ma Xiaotao's bold words, unsure how to respond. However, he did quite like Ma Xiaotao's evaluation of Beibei.

From now on, he can openly use Sister Xiaotao's words to comment on Beibei. I can't even imagine how satisfying it must have been for Beibei to be holding back her anger but not daring to vent it.

"Hahaha! You little brat, you've finally met your match!"

Seeing Ye Xixuan and Bei Bei standing on opposite sides of the training ground, Ma Xiaotao said with interest, "You two get ready and begin."

"Yes, Sister Xiaotao." Ye Xixuan and Beibei responded at the same time. Their eyes met, and the air around them seemed to freeze.

Beibei took the first step, and a low growl emanated from his mouth. In that instant, his aura underwent a dramatic transformation, exuding an air of superior pride and dominance, along with an indescribable power and kingly presence.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from his body. Wherever it passed, gold permeated the air, covering an area with a diameter of twenty meters. And on his body surface, a layer of fine golden lightning crackled.

His right hand transformed completely into a thick, powerful dragon arm, covered with scales that resembled golden crystals. A burst of golden light erupted, and three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—encircled BeiBei's golden dragon arm.

"A pure-blooded Holy Dragon of Light?! A three-ring Soul Master?!" Xu Sanshi's eyes widened in shock. Overwhelmed by the shock and the imbalance in his heart, he collapsed to the ground, wishing he could roll around in agony.

"Beibei, you deserve to die! How am I supposed to live like this?!"

I'm afraid my brother isn't doing well, but I'm also afraid he's doing too well.

This sentence perfectly captures Xu Sanshi's state of mind at this moment.

Beibei grinned, seemingly quite satisfied with Xu Sanshi's performance, then averted his gaze and focused all his attention on Ye Xixuan opposite him. However, his smile quickly faded.

Ye Xixuan seemed completely unaffected by Bei Bei's powerful aura of the Holy Dragon Martial Soul, calmly stepping forward. Two magnificent, deep purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet, and a chaotic dark shadow expanded outwards from his base.

The presence of light and darkness subtly suggests a trend of confrontation.

Despite being somewhat prepared, Bei Bei still hadn't expected Ye Xi Xuan's martial soul attribute to have such a strong suppressive effect on his Light Sacred Dragon martial soul, even though there was a significant difference in their soul power cultivation.

He dared not hesitate any longer, and the second spirit ring encircling the golden dragon arm instantly lit up. Countless golden lightning bolts transformed into dense arrows, forming a giant golden net of lightning that covered Ye Xixuan on the opposite side from all directions.

Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Strike!
Bei Bei's martial soul has completely evolved into the Holy Dragon of Light, and her soul skills have also undergone a qualitative change. Yan Shaozhe's Martial Soul of Light Phoenix possesses the abilities of both light and fire, while Bei Bei and Elder Mu's Holy Dragon of Light simultaneously control the power of light and thunder.

The Holy Thunder, imbued with the attributes of light and lightning, was filled with a majestic aura, seemingly trying to forcefully suppress the dark aura surrounding Ye Xixuan's body.

As his second spirit ring shone, Ye Xixuan slowly raised his right hand, and the black shadow beneath him instantly engulfed the entire training ground, filled with a dense aura of darkness, eerily silent and desolate.

Ye Xixuan's body seemed to turn into black liquid, actively merging into the shadow beneath his feet.

The golden lightning arrows struck it, seemingly swallowed by the darkness, making no sound. Only the flickering golden light within could be seen gradually dimming in the shadows.

Ye Xixuan's figure solidified once more, instantly appearing behind Bei Bei. His right hand clenched, and a massive demonic scythe, etched with intricate black patterns, materialized. His left hand rose, and cold, black chains extended from the darkness, binding Bei Bei's movements.

Xu Sanshi's eyes were numb. He slumped to the ground, his gaze silently fixed on the sky.

"A friendly sparring match ruined my dream of becoming a Soul Master."
