Chapter 8 Ice Phoenix and Nine-Hearted Begonia

Lin Fan also released his martial spirit, the Purple Flame Fire Tiger...

After being possessed by his Martial Soul, Lin Fan's body condensed into a purple fire armor, greatly enhancing his attack and defense. The purple fire could also attach to any part of his body, causing a burning effect on enemies.

Liu Erlong glanced at Lin Fan and said in surprise.

"Wow, is this your martial soul? It looks so cool! I thought you were a newbie, but I didn't expect your martial soul to be so powerful."

"My martial soul is just an ordinary mutated martial soul, which cannot compare to your top-level martial soul."

After Lin Fan finished speaking, he also released his original first soul skill.

"Flaming Tiger Claw..."

This is just a two-hundred-year-old soul skill; it's actually quite weak. After it's released, the tiger's claws just become sharper.

"Third Soul Skill, Gale Hammer."

After Tang Yiran smashed a large crater in the square, she released her soul skill again. The Clear Sky Hammer in her hand emitted purple light and spun rapidly around her, as fast as a spinning top. Each spin created a huge storm, directly blowing all the nearby disciples away.

Tang Yiran continued to charge towards the other disciples. This skill was somewhat similar to Garen's spinning attack. As he spun, the attack range of the Clear Sky Hammer continued to increase.

"Kids, jump off the plaza!" Tang Yiran shouted as she unleashed her soul skill, reminding her disciples as well.

No one dared to withstand such damage head-on. Even a spinning storm was enough to blow these disciples dozens of meters into the air, let alone the Haotian Hammer at the center of the rotation. The disciples scrambled to avoid it, and those who couldn't escape quickly jumped off the plaza.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Yiran had already come towards Lin Fan and Liu Erlong.

"Although she hasn't broken through level 70 yet, with the Clear Sky Hammer, her attack power is completely equivalent to a Soul Saint above level 70," Liu Erlong said in shock.

Lin Fan said, "The speed is too fast, we don't have time to dodge, and we don't have the ability to fly. We can only withstand the damage from the storm. Don't worry, Teacher Yiran definitely won't hurt us with the Haotian Hammer."

"They're here..."

"Second Soul Skill... Dragon Arm..."

Liu Erlong quickly released her second soul skill, and instantly her two arms were covered with red dragon scales, which were as transparent and shiny as crystal.

After releasing her dragon arm, Liu Erlong's defense was greatly enhanced, and she quickly used her arm to protect her entire body.

"Let me help you. I don't have any partners, is that okay?" A voice suddenly came from behind Lin Fan. He quickly turned around and saw a girl in a blue gauze dress looking at him pitifully.

This battle is actually unfair to support and food-type Soul Masters, but there were only a few support-type Soul Masters here to begin with, and almost all of them were protected by battle Soul Masters. This girl seems to be a lone support-type Soul Master.

"What?! This martial soul is... Nine-Hearted Begonia...!"

Lin Fan looked at the blue flower in the girl's hand.

Liu Erlong said happily, "Nine-Heart Begonia? Okay, don't worry, I'll protect you."

The Nine-Hearted Begonia is a martial soul with only one skill: group healing. The higher the soul master's level and soul power, the stronger the healing effect. With such a teammate, it's almost impossible to die. Moreover, the Nine-Hearted Begonia is extremely rare.

"Stand behind us..."

Lin Fan quickly had the girl stand behind him and Liu Erlong. The girl nodded and then released her soul skill.

"Nine-Heart Begonia, continue treatment..."

Instantly, Lin Fan felt his physical strength and soul power recovering rapidly.

At this moment, Tang Yiran's Gale Hammer arrived, and the huge whirlwind immediately sent Lin Fan flying. Liu Erlong, however, remained motionless, and then she immediately used her dragon arm to grab the Nine Heart Begonia girl who was about to be blown away.

"I'll hold them off..."

Lin Fan unleashed the Shadow Battle Axe in mid-air, charging in front of Liu Erlong.

"Xiao Fan, what are you doing? Get out of the way..."

Tang Yiran saw that Lin Fan was about to be touched by the Haotian Hammer, so she quickly shouted a warning.

"A stroke of genius..."

Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to strike, Lin Fan, wielding the Shadow Battle Axe, immediately unleashed a skill—a stroke of genius…

A green lotus sword formation appeared around Lin Fan, and Lin Fan himself entered a state of invulnerability for three seconds. At this time, he had entered the rotation range of the Haotian Hammer, but he was not harmed.

"Relentless charge..."

As Lin Fan's invulnerability was about to end, he immediately unleashed Han Xin's first skill, granting him ten times the speed, instantly rushing to Tang Yiran's side. Tang Yiran's Gale Hammer caused the Clear Sky Hammer to spin rapidly around her, imbued with soul power, but the very center around her remained unharmed. Before Tang Yiran could react, Lin Fan's leap to her side sent her flying.

"Ah..." Tang Yiran's soul skill was interrupted instantly after being knocked away, and the Clear Sky Hammer returned to her hand.

Lin Fan immediately used a double jump to catch Tang Yiran in mid-air.

Tang Yiran has a nice figure too. Lin Fan's hand just happened to touch Tang Yiran's soft buttocks...

"Teacher Yiran, are you alright?"

"You're asking for death..." Tang Yiran suddenly released her soul power, trying to push Lin Fan away, but Lin Fan grabbed Tang Yiran's calf and held her tightly with his other hand. Although his body was in great pain from the impact of the soul power, he just wouldn't let go.

Tang Yiran's face flushed instantly; she had never been hugged by a man in her twenty-odd years.

Only after landing did Lin Fan release Tang Yiran.

"You brat, you're asking for it!" Tang Yiran flipped over and jumped up, raising her little fist, but when she saw Lin Fan's seemingly innocent eyes, she stopped.

The other person is only a fourteen-year-old child, perhaps...

"Teacher Yiran, I was just worried about you getting hurt. I didn't do anything wrong," Lin Fan said innocently.

Tang Yiran snorted coldly, and when she looked at the disciples below the stage, they all looked at Lin Fan with admiration, and then many disciples cheered.

"That's amazing! He actually hugged Professor Yiran..."

"This is our ultimate dream..."

"What's this guy's name? He'll be my idol from now on."

…………

Tang Yiran blushed again. She looked at the stage and noticed that besides Lin Fan, there were three other people standing there.

Liu Erlong, a support-type girl, and a girl behind them who is releasing her martial spirit and flying in the air.

"This martial spirit is... an ice phoenix?" Lin Fan was stunned for a moment before recognizing it. The girl then slowly landed on the plaza. Her ice phoenix had already caused thick ice to form over dozens of meters around her.

Tang Yiran snorted coldly and said, "Her name is Shuiyue. She has the highest soul power level among this batch of outer disciples. At seventeen, she has already reached level forty-six and possesses the top-tier beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix. She and Erlong are definitely going to be inner disciples. I just didn't expect that you, little brat, would actually..."

Shui Yue'er? Lin Fan felt that the name was somewhat familiar. It seemed that Shui Bing'er, the owner of the Ice Phoenix in the original work, had a sister named Shui Yue'er. However, it was probably just a coincidence, since Shui Bing'er and her sister hadn't been born yet. This Shui Yue'er must also be a member of their family.

Tang Yiran coughed as she spoke, then looked at the girl behind her and asked in surprise, "Nine-Heart Begonia, what's your name?"

"My name is Ye Keke," the girl said softly.

"Alright, you've advanced too. The four of you will be inner disciples from now on." Tang Yiran smiled. She hadn't expected to be able to acquire the Ice Phoenix and Nine Heart Begonia Martial Souls this time.

"Thank you, teacher..." Ye Keke quickly expressed her gratitude. In this chaotic world, as the sole inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia, she could only survive by relying on a powerful sect like the Haotian Sect. However, because there were so many outer disciples, few people recognized her martial spirit, which was why she was so inconspicuous.

Ye Keke? Could she be Ye Lingling's mother?

Lin Fan thought for a moment, then quickly walked to Ye Keke's side, warmly extending his hand and saying, "If you don't mind, let's be friends. I will definitely protect you."

The early chapters focus heavily on Bibi Dong's romantic relationships, so keep reading. The later chapters are very ambiguous and exciting, and you'll definitely want to read up to chapter 125.
