Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 28 Ma Xiaotao's Mutation

As soon as Dai Yueheng took the stage, a fierce battle erupted between the two sides.

With the powerful physique of the White Tiger Martial Soul and the amplification of its three soul skills, Dai Yueheng managed to withstand Meng Hongchen's deadly poison and defeat her. However, Dai Yueheng himself was also unable to continue the match due to the poison.

Just like in the original story, the instructor leading the Sun Moon Empire also gave up on individual battles and pinned his hopes on the 223 battle.

Judging from the number of team members and their individual conditions, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy undoubtedly holds an absolute advantage.

The lineup for the first 2-2-3 battle of the Sun Moon Empire remained unchanged, with Ma Rulong and Xiao Xiafeng taking to the Battle Arena.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao also stepped onto the competition stage without fear.

Wang Yan glanced at Ling Luochen, but the latter did not respond.

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen have always been at odds and their personalities clash, so going on stage together might not be a good thing.

Then, Wang Yan looked at everyone present and finally fixed his gaze on Lin Chen.

Feeling Wang Yan's gaze, Lin Chen sighed silently, stepped onto the Soul Battle Platform, and came to Ma Xiaotao's side.

Ma Xiaotao glanced at Lin Chen but didn't say anything. After all, it's better to have one more person than one less, right?

The premise is that your teammates are not a burden.

"Go and hold off the other Soul Master. I'll come help you after I've dealt with Ma Rulong," Ma Xiaotao said to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn't bother arguing with this arrogant senior, nor did he bother with a verbal battle. Given Ma Xiaotao's personality, she wouldn't listen to you unless you were stronger than her.

At that moment, Lin Chen simply nodded.

"The match begins!" announced the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.

Lin Chen and Ma Xiaotao fought separately. Ma Xiaotao went straight for Ma Rulong, while Lin Chen faced off against Xiao Xiafeng.

Like He Caitou, Xiao Xiafeng is a food-type Soul Master, making a prolonged battle extremely disadvantageous for Lin Chen.

"We must end this battle as soon as possible!" Lin Chen thought to himself.

The Seven Kill Domain was released, instantly suppressing Xiao Xiafeng's strength to the Soul Master level.

"Long swords emerge from the peak!" Several Seven Kill Swords appeared and shot towards Xiao Xiafeng.

The latter, however, remained calm and unhurried, taking out two soul-guided guns, shaped like rifles that Lin Chen had seen in his previous life, and firing beams of laser at Lin Chen.

Even though Xiao Xiafeng's strength was suppressed by Lin Chen, his total soul power was still greater than Lin Chen's. Soon, Lin Chen's soul skill was broken, and several laser beams shot towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, using the Lingbo Weibu technique to dodge the attacks of the soul tool while waiting for an opportunity to get close to Xiao Xiafeng.

"Summer Breeze!" Ma Rulong, who was being suppressed by Ma Xiaotao, shouted from the other side.

Xiao Xiafeng understood immediately, and beams of light burst forth in wave-like patterns. There were spheres of light, rays of light, and some metal spheres that rose directly into the air, tracing parabolic arcs.

The powerful firepower of the Soul Guidance Turret erupted instantly.

As early as when Xiao Xiafeng was restraining Lin Chen, he had already begun preparing for the construction of the soul-guided turret, awaiting Ma Rulong's instructions.

Xiao Xiafeng's attacks were completely all-encompassing, including timed explosions, intense rays, and intertwined restrictive soul tools. The full-scale burst of a soul master's power was formidable, especially since Xiao Xiafeng relentlessly unleashed a barrage of various soul tools without regard for soul power consumption.

The same Soul Guidance Turret Battle Tactics, when used by the Sun and Moon Team, are far superior to those used by students from ordinary Soul Guidance Academies.

Although Ma Xiaotao was doing her best to dodge, Xiao Xiafeng's fighting style, which disregarded the consumption of soul power, made her somewhat flustered. Lin Chen, relying on his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), moved within the range of the soul tool's attack circle, consuming very little energy.

"Conserve your soul power; his attacks won't last long," Ma Xiaotao shouted to Lin Chen.

While Xiao Xiafeng was attacking Ma Xiaotao and Lin Chen without regard for soul power, Ma Rulong also successfully activated the Sword of Judgment.

"They are darkness, heretics are condemned." Ma Rulong held the sword of judgment in both hands and pointed it in the direction of Ma Xiaotao.

Suddenly, a beam of black light shot towards Ma Xiaotao.

"Phoenix Fire Line!" Ma Xiaotao unleashed a line of fire without hesitation to collide with it.

"Senior, get out of the way!" Lin Chen shouted to Ma Xiaotao.

"Damn it," Lin Chen cursed inwardly.

However, it was too late.

The dark power of the Sword of Judgment has already invaded Ma Xiaotao's body, and her martial soul is currently mutating.

Just as Ma Rulong was preparing to "judge" Ma Xiaotao with the power of light, Lin Chen, wielding the Seven Kill Sword, engaged Ma Rulong in battle.

On the other side, Xiao Xiafeng had already collapsed from exhaustion when Ma Rulong unleashed the Sword of Judgment.

"You're courting death." Faced with Lin Chen's attack, Ma Rulong couldn't help but shout angrily.

The Seven Kill Domain unfolded once more. After using the Sword of Judgment, Ma Rulong's condition was less than half of his peak. With the domain's enhancement, Lin Chen subtly gained the upper hand.

"Damn it, he is darkness, condemn him as a heretic!" Suppressed by Lin Chen, Ma Rulong disregarded the consumption of his soul power and directly invoked the dark power of the Sword of Judgment once again, attempting to judge Lin Chen.

Lin Chen neither dodged nor avoided the oncoming black light. He knew that this ray didn't actually cause any real harm; its purpose was simply to allow the power of darkness to invade the body, and then, combined with the power of light, cause the two opposing attributes to collide within the body, thereby inflicting massive damage. However, Lin Chen possessed the Ultimate Light Physique, meaning that the Sword of Judgment was completely ineffective against him.

The black ray pierced through Lin Chen's body. Ma Rulong instantly switched to the light attribute, his lips already curling up in a smile, anticipating the screams of the two.

The Shrek students all stood up anxiously. Given the current situation, the two people on the stage might be in grave danger!

But all that could be heard from the scene was Ma Xiaotao's screams. The white mist dissipated, revealing Lin Chen's figure rushing forward, slashing Ma Rulong with his sword.

Ma Rulong hurriedly raised the Sword of Judgment to defend himself, but he was still knocked back several meters.

Lin Chen patted off the remaining black soul power on his body, pointed the Seven Kill Sword at Ma Rulong, and said with disdain, "Your sword is useless against me." Then he charged at Ma Rulong again.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. Ma Xiaotao's martial soul had completely mutated, no longer the Evil Fire Phoenix, but a Black Phoenix with the ultimate dark fire.

A flash of platinum-gold light, and the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade appeared in Ma Xiaotao's hand.

As Ma Xiaotao infused the Dark Ultimate Flame, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade emitted a series of buzzing sounds, clearly having reached its maximum capacity.

A massive black blade of light descended from the sky, about to engulf Ma Rulong.

At the critical moment, Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, teleported in and blocked Ma Xiaotao's attack.

The outcome is already decided!

Xuanzi also hurriedly went on stage and used the soul power of a Super Douluo to seal Ma Xiaotao.

"She's mutated after all. I should have warned her." Lin Chen sighed inwardly. Having this Fire Phoenix Saintess was not a good thing for Lin Chen, or rather, for the entire continent.
