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

As it spoke, it flapped its wings and unleashed a fiery fist from the side, "Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roar Strike!"

"Hmph~" Luo Qianba sneered, once again channeling his soul power and crimson flame power to gather strength. He clenched his fist lightly, his palm gleaming with a dark red light. With a flick of his right arm, another loud bang rang out, and a pillar of flame burst forth from nowhere. The enormous impact shattered Ma Xiaotao's attack, and Ma Xiaotao was blasted backward, spinning in the air before hovering.

Ma Xiaotao looked at Luo Qianba warily, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Tsk, good lad, he's got some skill! No wonder even Xixi and Ling Luochen couldn't stop him! But against me, he wouldn't last three rounds, hmph!"

Then Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow, phoenix flames ignited around her, and she looked at Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng, who were returning to defend, and commanded, "Leave this guy to me, you two take care of the rest."

After saying that, she flew out instantly and rushed straight towards Luo Qianba. Upon seeing this, Luo Qianba snorted and engaged in battle with Ma Xiaotao.

The two exchanged blows, landing punch after punch, while also bantering and teasing each other. "You're pretty good, I'll play with you!" Ma Xiaotao unleashed a fiery punch, her tone laced with approval. Luo Qianba dodged to the side, simultaneously retaliating with a fiery strike: "Hmph, hahaha, a top-grade fire phoenix~ It even possesses some evil power. Becoming a Soul Emperor at such a young age, you're not bad either!"

"Hmph! Good heavens, you've got quite a bit of evil energy on you too! Be careful not to be corrupted by it and fall into darkness." Ma Xiaotao's phoenix claws, wreathed in flames, reached for Luo Qianba. Luo Qianba chuckled, nimbly dodging the attack: "Hehehe~ You're just being nosy~ You don't use evil fire because you can't control it, right!"

Ma Xiaotao seemed to have been hit where it hurt, or perhaps her rhythm had been swayed by the other party, and she chuckled, "Tch, I can use it if I want to. But, hmph~ you're not worthy of making me use my full strength! With a level difference of almost ten levels, how can you possibly beat me?"

"Hmph~ I don't care about winning or losing. I had a lot of fun fighting against a strong person like you today~ You're much more interesting than my brother with his mutated martial soul."

"Enough talk, take this! Phoenix Piercing the Clouds Strike!"

*Squeak* "Crimson Flame Annihilates!"

......

The two fought back and forth amidst the scorching flames, talking all at once. Because both sides had strong resistance to fire-attribute attacks, even though Ma Xiaotao had an advantage in soul power level, she was unable to defeat Luo Qianba quickly.

The fight between the two lasted for a long time, until they were both exhausted and stopped.

Even though all his teammates had fallen, Luo Qianba still looked at the Shrek Academy students with an arrogant air, as if he were looking down on the world.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph~ Unless you remove the evil fire, or use it, you won't be able to defeat me." Ma Xiaotao gently clutched her lower abdomen. "Hoo~ hoo, I told you, you're not worthy of making me use my full strength. Besides~ hmph!"

Ma Xiaotao glanced around, a smug smile spreading across her face. Then, her teammates Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Dai Yueheng, and Chen Zifeng stepped forward, exuding an imposing aura.

Seeing this, Luo Qianba understood her meaning and snorted, "Hmph~ You want to compete in numbers? Let's have a one-on-one contest and see what you do then!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Although Luo Qianba chose to admit defeat, he still showed no fear in his demeanor.

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, a sense of awe rising in his heart. "This person has actually managed to withstand Sister Xiaotao's attacks for so long! And he's also a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, his fourth spirit ring!"

Dai Yueheng glanced at Ma Xiaotao, utterly puzzled. "Why hasn't Ma Xiaotao finished him off yet? Hmph, Luo Qianba, is it? I'll definitely crush you in the individual competition!"

Luo Ranyu watched the exciting match intently and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Di'ao Academy lost, but in fact, judging from the data on paper, Di'ao Academy's strength was very close to Shrek Academy's. However, after all, the opponent came from Shrek Academy, which has always been incomparably powerful.

But Luo Qianba from Di'ao Academy is indeed a bit abnormal. Watching his battles is really exciting!

Luo Ranyu was deeply impressed by Luo Qianba's spectacular fight against four opponents.

He first blocked the opponent's agility-type Soul Master, then, finding he couldn't effectively harm them, he charged straight at their rear, instantly eliminating a control-type Soul Master. He then moved with impunity, forcefully engaging three opponents in a battle of Soul Skills, unleashing unparalleled power. Finally, he managed to hold his own against the level 67 Ma Xiaotao for so long; his strength is not to be underestimated.

After a moment of shock, Luo Ranyu gradually recovered. The competition was completely over. Just as Luo Ranyu was about to move, she suddenly remembered that a little head was still drooping on her shoulder.

"Mmm~ Hoo~" Hua Xi'er's breathing was even and gentle, she was sleeping soundly, her little brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked adorable.

Luo Ranyu sighed and carefully pulled the sleeping Xi'er into her arms. "Sigh~ How did she fall asleep in such a wonderful match and such a noisy place?"

He looked down at the peaceful sleeping face of the little girl in his arms, his eyes full of doting affection, and couldn't help but think to himself, "If only I could have the ability to fall asleep anytime, anywhere."

Just then, a beautiful figure walked slowly out of the crowd, her gait dignified and elegant, exuding an innate air of nobility.

The woman wore a long, pale yellow fringed dress, the hem swaying gently with her steps. The embroidered patterns shimmered under the lamplight, perfectly showcasing the dignified aura of the Star Luo Empire. Ran Yu looked closely and recognized her as Princess Jiu Jiu.

Wherever Princess Jiujiu went, everyone's attention was instantly drawn, and there was a chorus of exclamations, but no one dared to make a loud noise.

As Princess Jiujiu drew closer, everyone in Zhengtian Academy stood up and bowed, "Your Highness!" Looking into Princess Jiujiu's deep, beautiful eyes, Luo Ranyu was certain she was coming this way. She stood up, preparing to bow, but Princess Jiujiu waved her hand, saying, "No need! Please sit down first!"

Luo Ranyu held the sleeping Xi'er in her arms, sat down gently, and politely addressed her, "Your Highness."

Princess Jiu Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, don't be shy. Here, I'm just the captain of the Star Luo National Academy. Your name is Luo Ranyu?"

Luo Ranyu was unaware of the other party's purpose at this moment. She glanced at the sleeping Xi'er, while Princess Jiujiu saw a hint of doting in her eyes. "Your Highness, you may simply call me Ranyu."
