Chapter 230 Instant Kill

230.

Ma Xiaotao's gaze sharpened, and flames spewed from her wings, a ring of fire emanating from her body that melted the ice spikes of extreme ice that had traveled through space.

Despite this, many ice spikes still pierced her. She could only stop and then leap upwards. Her golden-red flame wings spread out, and Ma Xiaotao soared into the sky like a phoenix goddess. She was pierced by the ice spikes, scattering many fiery red flame feathers.

Her fifth spirit ring lit up, and a golden-red phoenix materialized, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky. Its wingspan was only one meter, but its speed was extremely fast. With a sharp cry, it rushed to Huo Yuhao's side, and flames engulfed Huo Yuhao.

This is Ma Xiaotao's fifth soul skill, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike.

At the same time, Ma Xiaotao merged with the fire phoenix, her feet spewing flames as she approached Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao neither dodged nor resisted the attack. Ma Xiaotao's proud flames had no effect on him, and the slight energy impact had little effect on him either. In an instant, Huo Yuhao used the flames that engulfed him to conceal his figure and conjured up an identical version of himself on the spot.

At the same time, he raised his ice staff, and extreme cold gathered there. An ice prison rose from the ground in the distance, but Huo Yuhao still used simulation to cover it up.

The impact of Ma Xiaotao's fall stirred up waves of flames and heat, and the sound of fire exploding in the air rang out. Using the force of the flames from her legs, she instantly collided with the phantom image that Huo Yuhao had conjured.

However, she was pierced through the moment of contact.

Ma Xiaotao was slightly taken aback, and then she saw a flash of silver light, and under the spatial fluctuations, an ice prison formed from extreme ice enveloped her.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom of a fiery phoenix, identical to her fifth soul skill, condensed in the air and instantly plummeted from the sky.

On the other side of the sky, the situation was equally dire. A phoenix made of ice crystals formed from icy blue air currents simultaneously let out a sharp cry, transformed into blue light, and fell like a meteor into the ice prison that trapped Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao reacted instantly, her sixth soul ring lit up, and a fiery red cloud condensed in the sky, with streaks of fire shooting towards the two ice and fire phoenixes.

Her wings spewed flames simultaneously, trying to break free of the ice prison.

However, the ice prison used by Huo Yuhao was formed from the ultimate ice, far superior to ordinary ice elements, so how could Ma Xiaotao melt it so quickly?

In an instant, the two phoenixes, one of ice and one of fire, crashed into Ma Xiaotao.

In that instant, Huo Yuhao also used spatial teleportation to move Ma Xiaotao out of the ice prison.

However, during the mental detection, at the moment the ice and fire phoenixes collided, Zhang Lexuan's figure appeared in front of the ice prison, which made Huo Yuhao slightly stunned, and then his expression became strange.

"Boom!" The extreme ice and extreme fire collided violently, and terrifying ice and fire elements erupted, then eroded each other, and then erupted again. The collision of extreme cold and high temperature made the two phoenixes even more powerful. A violent fluctuation of soul power instantly spread out, forcing the inner court students watching to lower their heads to defend themselves.

Beneath the flames and ice, a crescent moon rose, casting its hazy moonlight upon it, protecting one of the figures amidst the raging storm of ice and fire.

As the ice and fire elements subsided, Zhang Lexuan's figure gradually became clear. A bright moon shone above her head, and she stood on eight spirit rings, one of which was blood red.

She glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao were both safe and sound. Then she withdrew her martial soul.

"Sister Lexuan, are you alright?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Zhang Lexuan shook her head, silently wiping away the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Congratulations, you defeated Xiao Tao."

Surprise flashed in her eyes; she hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to be so powerful at only level 30.

Only after directly withstanding Huo Yuhao's two soul skills did she truly understand Huo Yuhao's current strength.

Ma Xiaotao rushed to Zhang Lexuan's side, her eyes filled with concern, and said, "Sister Lexuan, you should take a rest."

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "You guys recover your soul power and then start the next match. Don't worry about me. I just didn't expect that the collision of the ice and fire phoenixes would produce such powerful energy, and I was caught off guard and suffered a minor injury."

Zhang Lexuan then returned to the area outside the venue.

Huo Yuhao then turned to look at Ma Xiaotao, who looked somewhat disheveled, and said, "Sister Xiaotao, you lost this time."

Ma Xiaotao nodded with a complicated expression. "You've improved so quickly. Just a few months ago, you had to run away in panic when facing me, but now you can defeat me."

"Shouldn't Sister Tao be happy for me?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Ma Xiaotao glanced at Huo Yuhao sideways, "Hmph, I'm happy for you. Just you wait, I will definitely defeat you after I get my spirit ring. Cherish this time you've won."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and transmitted his voice, "It's time to cherish the time I can do whatever I want with you, Sister Xiaotao. Once Elder Mu finishes his teaching, I'll have some free time. Sister Xiaotao, remember to keep your promise; I'll give you a surprise."

Ma Xiaotao blushed and glared at Huo Yuhao before turning and walking off the field without looking back.

Huo Yuhao suppressed his smile, sat cross-legged on the ground to regulate his breathing for a while, and then looked at the inner court students, "Next."

This time, it was the blond youth who stood up, namely Dai Yueheng. Huo Yuhao narrowed his pink-gold eyes, showing no further abnormality, and said calmly:

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Dai Yueheng smiled and said, "Junior brother, you're quite capable. I know there's a misunderstanding between you and my brother, but he's him and I'm me. You don't need to worry about it. I'll persuade him to realize his mistake."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to persuade him further, senior," Huo Yuhao said calmly.

Dai Yueheng's smile seemed sincere, and her words even seemed to be trying to ease Dai Huabin's resentment towards her, but Huo Yuhao didn't remember that people with the White Tiger Martial Soul had such a good temper. Dai Yueheng was simply hiding her true feelings.

Huo Yuhao remembered clearly that Dai Yueheng's eyes were icy cold when he first met him.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's indifference, Dai Yueheng also suppressed his smile and assumed a fighting stance. "Let's begin."

Huo Yuhao nodded, and then, ice and fire elements quickly gathered in his hands, and he began to knead ice and fire balls.

After Huo Yuhao used the Martial Soul Fusion Technique last time, he had perfected the Ice and Fire Ball. When he used it alone, its power could at least reach the level of a Soul Douluo.

He had no liking for Dai Yueheng at all, so he simply killed her in one fell swoop.

While Huo Yuhao was making the pills, Dai Yueheng naturally couldn't just watch. He could sense the violent energy hidden beneath the seemingly calm surface of the pills in Huo Yuhao's hands. Once it erupted, it would be something he couldn't withstand.

He directly used his sixth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower, to try to interrupt Huo Yuhao from a distance, but Huo Yuhao instantly teleported to the other side.

Huo Yuhao's eyes quickly turned pale from exhaustion. Seeing that the pill had seriously injured Dai Yueheng but not killed him, he loosened his grip, and the ice-fire pill slowly floated towards Dai Yueheng.

Seeing that the ball was moving so slowly, Dai Yueheng breathed a sigh of relief. At that speed, he could easily dodge it, and even if he was hit by the energy wave after the explosion, he wouldn't be unable to resist.

But just as these thoughts flashed through his mind, an ice-fire ball quietly appeared in the space behind him and then exploded with a bang.

Dai Yueheng had no time to prepare.

Chapter 231 Progress

231.

The world seemed to fall completely silent at that moment, without a sound, only the extreme fiery red and icy blue intertwined and raged.

"Ugh."

At that very moment, a soft sigh rang out, followed by a gentle halo enveloping the raging ice and fire, like a delicate white veil smoothing out the violent energy.

The halo dissipated, and the fiery red and icy blue colors had long since vanished, as if the ice-fire pills Huo Yuhao had conjured had never existed.

However, Dai Yueheng, who looked rather dejected, explained that what he had just witnessed was not an illusion.

The young man, who originally had a full head of blond hair, had his hair charred black at the back, and his back was a bloody mess, with burn marks and frostbitten flesh.

Dai Yueheng knelt on the ground, enduring the pain in his back, looking at Huo Yuhao with a mixture of horror and coldness. He had actually been defeated in one move!

If Elder Mu hadn't intervened, he would probably have been in mortal danger.

Huo Yuhao was not surprised at all when he saw that Dai Yueheng was rescued by Elder Mu.

He would be surprised if he could kill Dai Yueheng right under Elder Mu's nose.

Huo Yuhao gave a bright smile and asked with concern in his eyes:

"Senior, are you alright? I really didn't know that the power of this move I, a level 30 Great Soul Master, used would be so strong that even you, a dignified Soul Emperor, couldn't withstand it. If I had known it would end like this, I wouldn't have used this self-created Soul Skill. It's all your fault for suffering."

"I have some homemade healing medicine here. Would you like one, senior? Although it's medicine I made myself, no one who has used it has said it's bad. Please take one."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao quickly walked behind Dai Yueheng and seemingly checked his injuries with concern. After checking, he took out a pill and looked at Dai Yueheng with anticipation in his eyes.

This pill has a rather peculiar appearance. It is the size of a longan and has a multicolored black color. It doesn't look like a healing medicine, but rather more like a poison.

Zhang Lexuan, who had already walked over, couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Does Yuhao have a grudge against Dai Yueheng? He seriously injured him and is still acting so sarcastic and even planning to poison him?

Dai Yueheng stared at Huo Yuhao with a cold killing intent in her eyes and said coldly, "I appreciate your kindness, junior. You can keep this pill for yourself. I have my own healing medicine."

"Alright, I'll take it myself then. This pill also has the effect of restoring soul power, and I used up quite a bit of energy just now."

Huo Yuhao took back the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

This pill was certainly not poison. It was just that Huo Yuhao hadn't controlled the heat properly during his first attempt at alchemy under Gu Xuanying's guidance, so it was a bit burnt. Although the medicinal effect was somewhat weakened, it was still very effective, and his depleted soul power was rapidly recovering.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had indeed taken out something other than poison, Dai Yueheng's expression softened slightly. When Zhang Lexuan walked up to him, he instantly suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes.

"Dai Yueheng, how serious are your injuries? Should I help you find a teacher in the medical department?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

Dai Yueheng stood up with support, coughed lightly, and said, "No need, Senior Sister. Thanks to Elder Mu's timely protection, I only suffered some superficial injuries, it's nothing serious."

Zhang Lexuan's bright eyes, beneath her arched eyebrows, remained concerned. "Let's have a therapist treat her."

Dai Yueheng readily agreed, then turned to Huo Yuhao and asked, "Junior Brother Huo, why did that ice-fire ball suddenly appear behind me? And what was that one you threw from your hand?"

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "It was just a few tricks, nothing to mention."

Dai Yueheng gave Huo Yuhao a deep look. Knowing he wouldn't get any more information, he stopped asking and took his leave.

As for Huo Yuhao's claim of it being an illusion, he didn't believe it. As a Soul Master, besides the five senses, he also possessed the crucial power of mental perception. He had clearly felt that the one Huo Yuhao had thrown out also contained violent ice and fire power, exactly the same as the real one. Could it be that he had unknowingly fallen into Huo Yuhao's illusion?

Huo Yuhao watched Dai Yueheng leave, then looked back at the inner academy students.
