Douluo Continent: Evil Flames Burn the Heavens, a Blessed Start with Many Children

The surroundings were quiet and still.

The sixteen wind clusters hidden beneath the crane's wings had changed at some point, transforming from wind clusters into wind blades, standing there neatly, exuding an aura that even thousand-year-old soul beasts found terrifying.

"go!"

Sixteen wind blades moved with ease in Lu Heqiu's hands.

It flew towards the direction of the Crimson Lion's eyes, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking through the air.

Xuanzi looked somewhat surprised.

These sixteen wind blades were clearly beyond what Lu Heqiu could previously display. At most, Lu Heqiu could only unleash eight wind blades, and even those eight were enough to make others dare not underestimate him.

Now that the bottleneck has been broken, I didn't expect that the first soul skill would also change.

Xuanzi kept his eyes fixed on the direction in which the wind blade flew out.

He wanted to see its power!

If it's just a matter of the quantity doubling, it only means that Lu Heqiu has become more proficient in controlling his soul skills. But if it's a doubling of power... that's terrifying! It's no less powerful than the self-created soul skills that are best suited to Lu Heqiu!

This means that they had all underestimated Lu Heqiu's potential.

The decision to remove Lu Heqiu from the official members of the Shrek Seven Devils... perhaps needs to be reconsidered!

Sixteen wind blades landed precisely on the Crimson Flame Lion.

Not all of them hit the eyes.

The power of this soul skill isn't that terrifying yet.

It only left faint scratches on the Crimson Lion.

To Xuanzi's surprise...

These sixteen wind blades are not simply doubled in number, but their true power has doubled!

Even the wind blade that came closest to the Crimson Flame Lion's eye was able to leave a faint bloodstain on the eyelid of a 50,000-year-old soul beast!

This means that Lu Heqiu's first soul skill can injure a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Even if it's just a vulnerable spot like the eyelid, it can still cause damage!

"This kid...is he really going to embarrass us old men?"

As soon as Xuanzi finished speaking, before the 50,000-year-old Crimson Flame Lion could even erupt in fury, Lu Heqiu's only black soul ring also burst forth with a terrifying aura.

Even Xuanzi frowned slightly at the terrifying aura emanating from it.

This ten-thousand-year soul ring was also hunted by Xuanzi and his group of students. Xuanzi could even clearly state its age, which was taken from a twelve-thousand-year-old Fiery Crane, and it was of the same origin as Lu Heqiu's martial soul!

Perfect fit!

However, the terrifying aura emanating from this spirit ring seems to exceed the standard of an ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

It's unclear whether it was the firelight or a genuine change in the soul rings.

Xuanzi actually saw it in that spirit ring...

red?

Crimson or blood red!?

Xuanzi was unsure of what to do, but the Crimson Flame Lion showed signs of retreating at this moment. Its originally proud head actually showed fear after seeing the terrifying aura emanating from the soul ring!

It wants to run away!

But the spirit ring held it firmly in place, preventing it from moving an inch!

And this moment.

Lu Heqiu, however, rose to prominence, seemingly dwelling between heaven and earth, leaving behind only that soul ring that still radiates power.

Fifth Soul Skill!

Cranes perch amidst the clouds, mountains raging!

The Fiery Crane seemed to reside between heaven and earth, its soul power conjuring up several mountains vying for attention. Though they were mountains, their target remained fixed on the Crimson Flame Lion.

The mountains collided, and the magma inside the mountains erupted, perfectly engulfing the Crimson Lion.

The sandstorm dispersed, and the illusion vanished.

The once majestic Crimson Flame Lion lay on the ground, bleeding profusely, no longer breathing. Only the black spirit ring floating in mid-air proved that it had just been alive.

Xuanzi was somewhat lost in thought.

He knew that Lu Heqiu's fifth soul skill was a single-target attack type soul skill.

Lu Heqiu had used it quite a bit when he was at school. It was indeed powerful, but the downside was that it required a very long charging and preparation time, and there was no way to hide it, giving the opponent too much time to dodge in battle.

But this battle...

Lu Heqiu perfectly avoided all the drawbacks.

The Crimson Lion took a lot of damage.

If this battle could be recorded, it would serve as a model for students to learn from.

Using the first soul skill to harass and trap the soul beast, and then using the terrifying fifth soul skill to harvest the soul beast, is something that only soul masters with rich combat experience can do!

"Kid!"

"How come your soul skill is so powerful?"

"It wasn't this big before, was it?"

Xuanzi flew directly down from the tree to Lu Heqiu's side. Lu Heqiu, without changing his expression, immediately put away his martial spirit and said irritably, "This soul skill consumed almost half of my soul power just by being used once!"

"Of course you can't perform it perfectly at the academy! Wouldn't a perfect performance lead to trouble?"

"Could I really kill them in a fight between fellow disciples?"

Lu Heqiu's self-righteous demeanor left Xuanzi with no reason to press further. Indeed, if Lu Heqiu were to unleash such a terrifying soul skill during an exchange between students, Yan Shaozhe would be the first to not let him off the hook.

but...

That power just now, is that what a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill should have?

If it weren't for the color of the spirit ring, Xuanzi would have really had reason to suspect that this spirit ring was 100,000 years old! The power was too similar!

It just doesn't make sense to kill a 50,000-year-old soul beast in one go!

But Xuanzi didn't ask any more questions. As long as the students don't go astray, it's perfectly normal for them to have a few secrets. Which of Dai Yueheng and his group of friends doesn't have a few secrets?

Even Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan from the outer courtyard have secrets.

Shrek Academy is more of an academy than a school.

"You chose this one?"

Xuanzi looked at the 50,000-year-old Crimson Flame Lion Soul Ring that had not yet dissipated, and spoke to Lu Heqiu uncertainly.

A 50,000-year spirit ring is far too much for a sixth spirit ring.

The limit for an ordinary Soul Master should be around 20,000 years.

As Xuanzi watched Lu Heqiu walk towards the direction of the spirit ring, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Lu Heqiu's idea was a bit too audacious!

This is twice the limit of an ordinary Soul Master!

Even the most talented students in the inner court are only hovering on the edge of their limits, more than twice as fast... Almost no one would choose that path!

Because no one would joke about their own life.

"Choose this one!"

"Its specialty is fire attribute, and it's a burst-type fire attribute soul beast. Although it's a land beast rather than a bird, supplementing its fire attribute ability is obviously more important for my Flaming Crane."

Lu Heqiu's answer was resolute, his tone conveying an unquestionable tone.

Xuanzi looked at him, the playfulness in his weathered eyes vanishing, and he spoke in a somber tone, "You're joking, aren't you?"

"A 50,000-year spirit ring might make you stand out among spirit masters of the same level."

"But do you know what the more likely possibility is?"

"It'll burst you!"

"Even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng wouldn't dare joke about something like this!"

"If you really choose this spirit ring, there's a high chance I won't even be able to bring your whole body back with me!"
