Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 358 The More I Look, the More It Resembles a Fire Lotus (8K)

With a full level 70 in soul power, three extremely high-quality ten-thousand-year soul bones, and the assistance of the Radish Cigar Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao's combat power is now almost on par with a true seven-ring Soul Saint.

Whether in terms of cultivation level or actual combat strength, she is the true number one in this competition.

Amidst the resounding cry of the phoenix, the phantom of the fiery phoenix became increasingly solid. The terrifying phoenix fire suddenly turned from fiery red to incandescent white, and the instantaneous burst of high temperature caused a faint cracking sound to be heard on the arena, a sign that it was about to crack.

When Soul King Yi Chen faced her head-on, she was terrified. She was a control-type Soul Master with a cultivation level of only 51. Coincidentally, her Martial Soul was also fire element.

When there is a huge difference in strength and the martial souls are of the same attribute, the weaker party basically has no power to resist, unless the opponent's martial soul is a slime of the corresponding element. But unfortunately, this Soul King named Yi Chen is not like that.

Yi Chen, having forcibly calmed herself down, activated her soul ring, releasing a fiery red halo at Ma Xiaotao's feet.

A strong suction force came from underground, which weakened the terrifying high temperature slightly. Even the Phoenix Fire Line was deflected, allowing Yi Chen to narrowly avoid the attack.

"deflection?"

Ma Xiaotao sneered. This was nothing more than a desperate act of resistance for her. Don't forget that her close combat skills were also top-notch.

The incandescent phoenix fire transformed into wings, and flames also blazed from her legs, increasing her speed exponentially. A loud phoenix cry rang out, and with a flash, Ma Xiaotao was already in front of Yichen.

A pale right palm, burning with raging flames, suddenly burst out—it was the same kowtow punch that Huo Yuhao had once used. The next moment, the fire control aura exploded.

In the past, she would never have dared to unleash her phoenix fire so completely.

Once she elevates the flames to their peak, the evil fire within can easily backfire, potentially causing her to lose her mind.

However, Huo Yuhao is currently on the Soul Battle Stage. As long as he stands on the Soul Battle Stage, his inner fire will not dare to explode. Because of this, he can fight without restraint and unleash his pent-up anger from many years.

Every time she fought, she had to hold back her strength because of the restrictions of the evil fire, which frustrated Ma Xiaotao greatly.

Thus, the unfortunate Xingluo National Academy became the punching bag for this fiery girl.

Wherever the raging phoenix flames passed, the air within several meters of her was scorched and distorted, making it difficult to breathe.

The Wind Element Soul King on the other side tried to help Yi Chen, but before she could do anything, she was also included in Ma Xiaotao's attack range.

Huo Yuhao was completely stunned by what he saw inside Shrek Academy. He had never imagined that the Bowing Combo Fist could be used in this way. At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was using the Bowing Combo Fist in the same way as the Flame Fist, with white phoenix fire burning at the ends of her limbs. When she threw a punch, the enemy did not dare to take it head-on and could only retreat repeatedly.

At this moment, the wild and domineering phoenix was completely swept away by its own adrenaline.

Not only did he fight two control-type Soul Kings alone, but he also dragged another offensive-type Soul King into the battle.

With a powerful whip kick, he sent the wind-attribute soul master flying. The next moment, he stepped through the air, dodging the combined attack of the other two soul masters.

In mid-air, Ma Xiaotao parted her lips slightly, her fifth spirit ring lit up, and the Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike, which was extremely close to the ground, burst forth. A small fire phoenix with a wingspan of only one meter flew out, carrying intense explosive power.

Ma Xiaotao turned a single-target attack into an area-of-effect attack.

Anyway, this thing won't burn me to death, you two better pray for yourselves!

The two Soul Masters from Star Luo Academy were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. What difference was there between this and holding a bomb and dying together with someone else?

Okay, there is still a difference. Ma Xiaotao's stamina is high, so this Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike might feel to her like getting a perm.

For some reason, the two Soul Masters from Star Luo Academy felt that the little phoenix looked more and more like a fire lotus the more they looked at it, but why was that?

Under such circumstances, Ma Xiaotao fought against three people single-handedly. Not only did she not show any signs of weakness, but she even became more and more aggressive, almost eliminating her opponents first.

While Ma Xiaotao was chasing and fighting three enemies behind enemy lines, the three Soul Kings on the front lines were also having a tough time.

They not only had to face Ling Luochen, the Soul King who had been temporarily empowered by Huo Yuhao with the ultimate ice attribute.

And He Caitou's relentless bombardment, Chen Zifeng's sudden and sharp attacks, and Huo Yuhao's mental assaults whenever things went wrong.

Down in the audience, Xu Jiujiu, who had been eliminated at the very beginning, had a face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water; the elegant demeanor she had displayed at the auction had long since vanished.

Yes, no matter who lost the game in such a frustrating way, they would definitely not be in a good mood, especially since she is the most beloved little princess of the Star Luo Empire.

In her hand she held a soul tool that could turn the tide of battle—a level seven absolute defense soul tool, whose defensive power within a quarter of an hour was equivalent to the full-force defense of an eight-ring defense-type Soul Douluo.

Originally, the Star Luo faction planned to use this absolute defense soul tool to lock up Shrek's Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao together, and then take this opportunity to wipe out the others.

The Absolute Defense Soul Tool is similar to an invincible shield, but it is a special soul tool used in reverse. Once used, for a quarter of an hour, the person sealed by the Absolute Defense Shield will face the protection of an eighth-tier Soul Douluo-level defensive battle soul master.

Currently, only the Sun Moon Empire can manufacture this type of soul tool. Its core magic array is extremely secret. To create the level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, it is essential to thoroughly understand the technical path used by this absolute defensive soul tool.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiujiu, who was carrying an absolute defense soul tool, was forcibly sent away by Xu Sanshi at the beginning of the game. Xu Jiujiu's Star Guardian, which she had carefully prepared for nearly a month, and her incredibly powerful fifth soul skill were also unable to be used.

After a long while, he stared at the Shrek members on the stage with resentment.

She could see that the defeat of Xingluo National Academy was inevitable.

The Nine Transformations Soul Instrument, capable of connecting four people simultaneously, was still on the stage, but they no longer had the opportunity to connect and create another pseudo-Soul Saint.

Not to mention that Ma Xiaotao alone managed to restrain Yi Chen, who was holding the Nine Transformations Soul Instrument, and the other two.

Even if they manage to connect the four of them together now, without the Starry Night Technique to assist the recipient, they still wouldn't be a match for Ma Xiaotao.

Borrowing power that can reach near-Soul Saint level in a short time?

Smoking a cigar and going all out, Ma Xiaotao was already at the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint who had absorbed the seventh Soul Ring!
