Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 211 Ma Xiaotao: I'm invincible, do whatever you want!

Ma Xiaotao stepped onto the arena, immediately attracting everyone's attention. This was because Ma Xiaotao was Shrek Academy's only officially selected member, and Emperor Xu Jiawei, Sun Moon Academy, Star Luo Academy, Di'ao Academy, and Douling Academy were all keeping an eye on her.

"Finally, they've sent out their starting lineup?" Xu Jiawei murmured softly. "Let me see the prowess of the Shrek Academy's starting captain!"

As the emperor, Xu Jiawei was naturally aware of the team composition of each academy's teams, so it was perfectly normal for him to know that Ma Xiaotao was the captain of Shrek Academy's regular team.

In the rest area of ​​Sun Moon Academy, Ma Rulong looked at the stunning woman on the arena with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Ma Xiaotao, five years have passed. Just how strong are you now?"

The other three colleges also had people showing curious glances.

The first student from Zhengtian Academy to take the stage was Yu Mengdi, who possessed the Angel Martial Soul and was a level 55 Power Attack-type Soul King.

The two women's eyes immediately met. Ma Xiaotao's eyes were filled with arrogance and indifference, while Yu Mengdi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit and defiance. They ignored the referee and directly declared war.

"Zhengtian Academy, Yu Mengdi!"

"Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao!"

The referee, left with no other option, simply announced, "The match begins!"

At a command, both women simultaneously released their martial spirits. Two completely different pairs of wings appeared on the arena: one pair of pure white wings radiating a rich golden light, and the other pair of crimson phoenix wings burning with raging flames. Yu Mengdi was enveloped in a faint golden glow, exuding a sense of holiness, while Ma Xiaotao's delicate body radiated intense heat, carrying an unbearable heat.

One side has five spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, and one black; the other side has six spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, and two black.

As soon as Ma Xiaotao revealed her six spirit rings, the audience erupted in screams and cheers. A Spirit Emperor! This was a genuine Spirit Emperor! No one doubted that this was just another charade by Shrek Academy, because it was utterly impossible. Both Ma Xiaotao's age and her spirit rings proved that she was undoubtedly a Spirit Emperor!

Inside the rest area of ​​Zhengtian Academy, the atmosphere was heavy. Captain Ye Wuqing's gaze never left Ma Xiaotao's body. Although he knew that Shrek Academy was not easy to deal with, the appearance of the Soul Emperor still made him shake. He hoped that Yu Mengdi could hold on for a while longer.

On the arena, Yu Mengdi's mind was blank, focused solely on the battle. With a flap of her wings, her speed increased dramatically, making her a golden meteor as she launched her attack on Ma Xiaotao. Her first spirit ring flashed, and two golden lightsabers appeared in her hands—her first spirit skill, Divine Twin Swords.

After the twin swords appeared, Yu Mengdi's aura became much sharper. Her second soul ring lit up immediately afterward, and the twin swords crossed, drawing a cross in the air. Dense light elements poured into it, making the golden cross even more dazzling and splendid.

Second Soul Skill: Holy Light Cross Slash.

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao remained expressionless in the face of Yu Mengdi's proactive attack. However, she suddenly flapped her phoenix wings, which carried her into the air. Immediately afterward, she released her second soul skill, Phoenix Rebirth, and her first soul skill, Phoenix Fire Line, also shot out from her mouth. The scorching extreme fire transformed into a proud phoenix, flying around the flame rays.

The Holy Light Cross Slash was powerful and a nemesis of evil. However, it was still somewhat overwhelmed by Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire Line, and was directly pierced through the center by the fiery phoenix and then completely devoured.

Despite having broken through the Holy Light Cross Slash, the Phoenix Fire Lines continued their fierce attack. Yu Mengdi's expression turned grim, and she immediately unleashed her fourth soul skill. Her angel wings overlapped in front of her, forming an oval-shaped cocoon of light that blocked the Phoenix Fire Lines' attack. However, Yu Mengdi was forced to retreat dozens of steps before she could barely regain her footing.

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao was relentless. Her fourth soul ring lit up, and she raised her long, white neck, letting out a clear and melodious phoenix cry. The phoenix wings behind her spread wide, and the flames were blazing. Then, the ground beneath her feet surged with rich fire elements. After a brief period of preparation, a giant flame burst out of the ground.

The pillar of flame shot out from the location where Yu Mengdi was. Although Yu Mengdi reacted in time and flew into the air, the five-meter-high flames still scorched her angel wings black, causing her to lose the ability to fly.

Seeing this, Yu Mengdi was furious and immediately unleashed her third and fifth soul skills. A phantom of a six-winged angel appeared behind her, surrounded by golden flames that enveloped her entirely. Then, the two sacred swords merged into one, transforming into a giant sacred sword in the hands of the six-winged angel.

"Angel, God-Sealing Slash!" Yu Mengdi shouted, and the six-winged angel phantom behind her swung down the giant sword in her hand. A huge light blade, more than ten meters long and three meters wide, slashed straight at Ma Xiaotao in the air. The attack was so swift and fierce that an ordinary Soul Emperor would definitely suffer a setback!

But she was facing Ma Xiaotao.

Without hesitation, Ma Xiaotao unleashed her fifth soul skill. Crimson flames burned and spread, and then a deep blue phoenix burst forth from the crimson flames. That phoenix was also composed of burning, intense flames!

Fifth Soul Skill: Phoenix Azure Flame!

The blue fire phoenix collided with the giant light blade, creating a violent roar and producing thick smoke that obscured everyone's vision. However, less than a second later, a blue phoenix, like a swift breaking through the dark clouds, burst out of the smoke and swooped down towards Yu Mengdi.

Yu Mengdi was stunned. She hadn't expected that her strongest attack would be so easily neutralized by her opponent. Could it be that the gap between them was really that huge?

She couldn't understand it, and she didn't have a chance to think about it anymore. The Phoenix Sky Blue Flame landed directly on her, and before the referee could even react, she was blasted away by the flames, landing on the ground severely injured and unconscious.

The students from Zheng Tian Academy immediately rushed onto the stage and rescued Yu Mengdi, while the audience was completely stunned. They hadn't expected to witness a clash between ten-thousand-year-old soul skills in the very first match—it was truly a victory beyond belief!

After Yu Mengdi's defeat, Zhengtian Academy immediately sent out a second contestant, a Soul Master of Agility and Attack named Yang Yifan. However, even Soul King Yu Mengdi was no match for Ma Xiaotao, so how could a mere Soul Master be a match for Ma Xiaotao?

Ma Xiaotao defeated Yang Yifan with a single move. Zheng Tian Academy's captain, Ye Wuqing, remained expressionless and sent out his third competitor, a powerful attack-type Soul Master. The result was the same; Ma Xiaotao again defeated him with a single move.

Following that, Zheng Tian Academy's fourth and fifth contestants were also Soul Masters. Except for the fifth Soul Master, whose special Soul Suppressing Bell Martial Soul allowed Ma Xiaotao to use her second move, the others were defeated in one move.

Zhengtian Academy sent out four Soul Masters in a row, leaving the audience bewildered. However, the other students watching understood Zhengtian Academy's plan: they wanted to deplete Ma Xiaotao's soul power. However, they completely overlooked the gap between the two sides. Doing this was simply giving Ma Xiaotao an easy way to boost her achievements!

Finally, the sixth contestant from Zhengtian Academy took the stage: Tang Xiaolei, a level 53 ranged attack-type Soul King, wielding the Purple Flower Bow.

As soon as Tang Xiaolei entered the arena, he immediately launched an attack. He seemed to be fully prepared, as he simultaneously transformed five soul rings into arrows. Five arrows with completely different effects were shot out at the same time, the arrows like rainbows and the momentum like a ray of light!

After all five arrows were fired at the same time, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Tang Xiaolei's mouth, but a broad smile appeared on his face.

When Ma Xiaotao was targeted by five powerful arrows, she immediately took it very seriously. She crossed her phoenix wings in front of her, and the rising flames instantly formed a huge wall of fire in front of her.

Five arrows struck the wall of fire in quick succession, the immense impact forcing Ma Xiaotao to step back to counteract the force. Four of the five arrows were blocked by the flames, but one arrow pierced through the wall of fire and struck Ma Xiaotao's phoenix wing, nearly piercing it completely.

Ma Xiaotao was surprised and angry. After removing the fire wall, she wanted to teach Tang Xiaolei a lesson, but found that Tang Xiaolei had actually walked off the stage. He was very self-aware. He had used up all five of his spirit rings. Staying on the stage would only get him beaten up. So what was the point of staying up there?

Now, Zhengtian Academy has only one contestant left, who is also their captain, Ye Wuqing, a level 58 power attack type Soul King, with the martial soul Golden Leaf!

The Golden Leaf is a unique martial soul that can be described as both a weapon martial soul and a plant martial soul. Although it is a plant, it is exceptionally hard and sharp, making it an extremely powerful offensive martial soul. Ye Wuqing was able to secure his position as captain of Zheng Tian Academy precisely because of the Golden Leaf martial soul.

Unfortunately, if he had encountered any other Soul Emperor, he might have had a chance to fight them. But unfortunately, he encountered Ma Xiaotao, the one who possessed the ultimate flame!

Normally, fire counters plants, and Ye Wuqing, as a plant-based martial soul, couldn't possibly be unaware of this. However, the reason he was so confident in placing himself last and even having others work for him was because his Golden Leaf martial soul possessed extremely high fire element resistance. Although it wasn't fire-immune, it was better than fire-immune!

Ye Wuqing did not believe that Ma Xiaotao's flames could harm him.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face. Watching his first soul skill's leaf blades easily ignite with Ma Xiaotao's flames, his heart sank to the bottom. A possibility that left him utterly devastated surfaced in his mind, and he uttered with difficulty, "You...you are the Ultimate Flame!"

"Hmph!" Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly and said, "It's not too late to admit defeat now!"

"I..." Ye Wuqing's expression shifted several times. After hesitating and struggling for a long time, all his pride finally turned into a helpless sigh, and he said, "I admit defeat!"

With Ye Wuqing's surrender, Ma Xiaotao successfully achieved the feat of defeating seven opponents in a row, becoming the first player in this competition to achieve this.

"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!" The audience immediately cheered and shouted.
