Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

One of the two men was tall and muscular, exuding an aura of dominance and power. His blond hair, along with his luxurious inner clothing and accessories, gave him an air of nobility.

The other girl appeared to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with deep red hair and two large pom-poms on either side of her head. She wasn't particularly tall, but she possessed an equally imposing presence. Although she was also very beautiful, one could imagine how fierce she would be when angry. Through the large screen, it was clear that the three Shrek Academy members present were: Level 67 Battle Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao, Level 64 Soul Emperor Dai Yueheng, and Level 55 Soul King Ling Luochen.

On the field, Ma Xiaotao's sharp aura and ruthless expression were particularly striking. Seeing this, Luo Ranyu couldn't help but turn to look at Hua Xi'er beside her. The girl still had that playful and adorable look, her bright eyes curiously fixed on the arena, intently watching the battles between the older brothers and sisters.

A question quietly arose in Luo Ranyu's heart: What kind of family environment could raise such a kind and pure girl? And why did she leave her family and sect to come to this unfamiliar place? Hua Xi'er once mentioned that she and her companions came from a secret sect called the Three Phases Sect in the northern part of the Douling Empire.

However, Luo Ranyu later specifically inquired with several elders in the academy, and they had never heard of such a sect on the Douluo Continent. Clearly, Hua Xi'er was hiding a secret she hadn't told him.

As his thoughts wandered, the commotion on the field interrupted his contemplation. Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao simultaneously revealed their spirit rings, a perfect combination of two yellow, two purple, and two black rings, instantly eliciting gasps from the sidelines.

Dai Yueheng's martial soul is the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, perfectly inheriting the superior genes of the White Tiger family. The moment his martial soul was released, his muscles suddenly bulged, his body grew significantly larger, and he was surrounded by a domineering beast martial soul aura, his eyes gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao's martial soul was a phoenix. A pair of fiery red phoenix wings suddenly spread out behind her, their wingspan so wide that they could almost encompass all her teammates, and a scorching aura of flames rushed towards them. However, this unusual phenomenon of the phoenix martial soul did not escape the eyes of Luo Jiuxiao and Luo Ranyu. A layer of faint, malevolent fire swirled around the phoenix's wings, completely different from the pure aura of flames.

"A fiery phoenix?" Luo Jiuxiao stared at the pair of fiery wings and murmured to himself, his thoughts once again drawn back to ten thousand years ago.

Luo Ranyu looked at Ma Xiaotao with a puzzled expression. His own martial soul also possessed dark power: "It seems so. Is there any connection? It's probably just a fire phoenix imbued with evil power, which will probably make her even stronger!"

Luo Jiuxiao shook his head. "No, that's not true. For ordinary people or normal people, if a martial soul is imbued with evil power, unless they themselves fall into the demonic path and accept that power, allowing it to merge into their body—of course, the prerequisite is that you have the ability to fuse with evil power—the evil power will gradually erode their spirit and will, plunging them into pain, causing them to become delirious and even continuously lose their reason and consciousness in their entanglement and confusion. This power is very strong, but it is also uncontrollable; one wrong move and it can cause someone to lose their mind."

Luo Ranyu listened attentively to his introduction and explanation, feeling as if some knowledge had been unearthed in her mind. It seemed that, just as Luo Jiuxiao had said, he actually had vague memories related to the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

It seems the phoenix really enjoys mocking the frog...

The match began, and everyone watched intently. Overall, Shrek Academy, led by its three main players, completely overwhelmed their opponents. Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao interlocked their fingers, channeling the power of Hao Dong to assist Ling Luochen's ice-attribute attacks, increasing Ling Luochen's ice power several times over. Then, they saw Dai Yueheng, despite having knocked out the opposing captain, still deliver heavy punches to the unconscious opponent, striking his limbs, and then revealing a sinister grin.

This scene was witnessed by Jin Zhongyue, Luo Jiuxiao, and Luo Ranyu. Luo Jiuxiao slammed his fist on the railing beside him, his voice filled with indignation: "Damn, Dai Yueheng from Shrek Academy is too cunning! Not only did he knock someone unconscious, but he also tried to break their limbs?"

Luo Ranyu was also somewhat puzzled and speechless, but she did not comment on his behavior.

Luo Ranyu frowned, her heart filled with confusion and speechlessness, but she didn't readily comment on this overly ruthless act. Jin Zhongyue, standing to the side, remained calm and said indifferently, "Indeed, quite cunning. However, with the physical attributes of a Soul King, recovery from broken limbs isn't slow if treated promptly. It's just that he'll most likely be unable to participate in the subsequent individual elimination rounds."

He abruptly changed the subject, his gaze landing on Ma Xiaotao: "Fortunately, he had no intention of killing. Look at that Ma Xiaotao, from beginning to end she exuded a ruthless killing intent." As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao on the field had already gathered her soul power, preparing to unleash her sixth soul skill: "Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

On the field, Ma Xiaotao wanted to unleash her sixth soul skill, "Phoenix Meteor Shower," and even shouted out the name of the soul skill, but was stopped by the referee. However, her sixth soul skill was exposed as a result—since it is called Meteor Shower, it must be a large-scale meteor shower falling from the sky.

Luo Jiuxiao glanced at Ma Xiaotao's wicked and malicious appearance and said indifferently, "Hmm, it seems so."

At this moment, Kim Jong-eul suddenly raised his voice and jokingly rebuked,

"How dare you talk about others like that?" Kim Jong-ak suddenly raised his voice, his tone laced with a hint of joking reproach. "If your brother had made a move, the opponent would probably have been reduced to ashes by now!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jiuxiao's mind suddenly conjured up violent and bloody scenes and an arrogant image. He chuckled awkwardly, "Uh-huh, that makes sense!" Then, Jiuxiao whispered, "Actually, my brother is here too! I saw him a few days ago!"

"What? Oh no~ You have so many brothers, which one are you talking about?"

"Exactly~" Luo Jiuxiao suddenly paused, glanced at Luo Ranyu who was intently watching the game, and then looked at Jin Zhongyue and said,

"That's Mynah! He's a student at Imperial Academy now, and a regular member of the team! He's a Soul Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Zhongyue glanced at Luo Ranyu and said softly, "Then why doesn't the sect send your eighth brother, who is so strong?"

Luo Jiuxiao also said softly, "He said he had a mission, and his personality wasn't suitable for staying by his side all the time. But in fact, Luo Shen's kindness to Ba Ge is as heavy as Mount Tai. If it weren't for his guidance, Ba Ge might still be suffering from the pain of darkness's corruption. Originally, Ba Ge could have been completely freed from the pain soon, but alas~!!"

As he spoke, Luo Jiuxiao's expression became serious. The past stirred his emotions, making him resentful and melancholy. Luo Jiuxiao sighed, "Well, alright, let's stop here for now. It's time for our match against Douling Royal Academy."

Luo Ranyu noticed their whispers, but didn't pay attention or investigate. Everyone has their own secrets, and he did too.

Soon, Shrek Academy's match ended, and the second match at this venue was between Zheng Tian Academy and Battle Spirit Royal Academy.
