Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

The answer was soon revealed. Ma Hongjun was unleashing the Phoenix Fire Pillar with all his might when suddenly a green figure rushed out from the Phoenix Fire Pillar – it was Jiang Zhu.

This scene was beyond Ma Hongjun's expectations. Before he could react, the scorpion tail soul bone behind him was deflected by the healing scepter. At the same time, the green flames followed the scepter to the scorpion tail and then spread rapidly.

That wasn't all. She leaped up and unleashed a series of kicks with her delicate feet encased in small leather boots, swatting away Ma Hongjun's hands, which had transformed into giant pincers. She then attached the Flame of Life to them and allowed it to seep into their interiors.

After kicking the large pincers away, she raised her leg high and delivered a knee strike to Ma Hongjun's chin.

Then the healing scepter spun around, its end striking Ma Hongjun's large, fat face, sending him flying.

This swift and decisive combo surprised everyone. After all, Ma Hongjun was a battle spirit master with a beast spirit, and his body was enveloped in blazing phoenix flames. Even Dai Mubai was unwilling to engage in close combat with him.

That phoenix flame was far too domineering.

However, Jiangzhu ignored Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames, which was truly unexpected by everyone, even the jade marrow was surprised.

He knew that Jiangzhu had condensed the Flame of Life into that soul-clothing form, which had strong defensive capabilities, especially making her almost immune to fire-attribute attacks.

But I really didn't expect that the Soul Armor of the Flame of Life could be immune to Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame.

Chapter 605 The Throne of Bones

Jiangzhu herself was aware of Ma Hongjun's strength. After all, he was a Beast Soul Master and a Soul Emperor. Once he reacted, the combat power he could unleash would be very strong.

So after landing a successful blow, he pressed his advantage, swinging his leg techniques and scepter in coordination, while gradually attaching the Flame of Life to his opponent.

The Flame of Life had already devoured Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame, so it had a strong resistance to it. At least, it wouldn't be easy for Ma Hongjun to remove it.

Furthermore, Tian Hao gave the Flame of Life the attribute of igniting the life force of others, and life force is the foundation of a person's body. Once ignited, the pain caused is indescribable.

Then Ma Hongjun cried out in pain, making it even harder to react and even harder to control his soul power. Jiangzhu took advantage of the situation and attacked him repeatedly, forcing him to retreat without being able to retaliate.

But after all, he is a Soul Emperor-level Beast Soul Master. Even though the Fire Phoenix Soul's enhancement to physical attributes is not as obvious as Dai Mubai's White Tiger Soul, it is still not to be underestimated.

Adding to his body fat, although he was beaten very badly, he did not suffer any serious injuries. On the contrary, the pain caused by the Flame of Life almost drove Ma Hongjun crazy.

After being beaten for several minutes, Ma Hongjun finally managed to get used to it. Then, he controlled the wings of the Phoenix Wing Sky Soaring behind him and took off, glaring angrily and resentfully at the people below, with a crazy killing intent in his eyes.

"You bitch, die!"

With his cheeks swollen and teeth missing, he cursed incoherently and decisively unleashed his most frequently used triple Phoenix Roaring Strike.

Its body soared into the sky, then swooped down rapidly, its hands, which had transformed into giant pincers, pointing downwards to activate the Soul Bone skill, Magma Earth-Shattering Strike, in conjunction with Phoenix Roaring Strike.

Faced with such a deadly attack, Jiangzhu remained calm and did not foolishly try to withstand it. Instead, she leaped into the nearby woods.

Ma Hongjun turned around and chased after her, finally slamming his fists, which had transformed into giant pincers, heavily onto the ground not far behind Jiangzhu.

The first phase of Phoenix Roaring Strike will unleash a shockwave that will stun the opponent.

Not to mention, this also has the added benefit of two Soul Bone skills, with the effects stacked three times.

However, before this power could erupt from the two fists that had transformed into pincers, it clashed with the living flames that were attached to and permeated within the pincers, causing them to explode.

boom!

A tremendous explosive force erupted from the hands that had transformed into pincers, shattering the pincers into fragments and revealing the stark white bones.

Although it also created a shockwave, Jiangzhu hid behind a large tree in advance, using the tree to shield herself from the shockwave, and then turned around and walked out, coldly looking at Ma Hongjun.

The pain was so intense that it drove Ma Hongjun to the brink of madness, and the pain fueled his murderous intent even more.

"You bitch!"

With his bloodshot eyes fixed on Jiang Zhu in front of him, Ma Hongjun manipulated the scorpion tail behind him to unleash a pillar of phoenix fire.

He was now driven mad by the pain and didn't care whether the Phoenix Fire Pillar would work or not; he only wanted to burn that bitch to ashes.

And then tragedy struck!

Previously, the pincers were infiltrated with the Flame of Life, and the scorpion's tail was also infiltrated with a considerable amount.

If it doesn't unleash its soul skill, it's fine, but once it does, it immediately causes conflict inside the scorpion tail, shattering it segment by segment.

This time, Ma Hongjun did not scream out, because he had already fainted from the intense pain.

"Hongjun!"

Flander, who rushed into the woods right behind him, was furious at the sight of his disciple's miserable state. He then glared angrily at Jiangzhu and crushed her with the soul pressure of a Title Douluo.

"boom!"

A flash of blue lightning struck, and Flander was kicked away. The attacker used tremendous force, and his body crashed through several large trees before finally stopping.

"You think you're so great?"

Staring menacingly at Flander, who was spitting blood, Jade Marrow also erupted with anger and killing intent.

You want to harm my disciple right in front of me? You're tired of living!

Yu Xiaogang and the others who had been chasing after them were stunned by the scene inside, especially by Ma Hongjun's miserable state.

Although Ma Hongjun had just been badly beaten, it was only a superficial injury. They all understood that as long as he could react, victory would be just a matter of moments.

A single triple Phoenix Roar Strike would be enough to defeat Jiangzhu. Even with Yushi Sui and another person watching over her, she would easily get injured.

But to everyone's surprise, Ma Hongjun was the one who lost. His bare, skeletal hands sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Crench!"

Yu Xiaogang chewed on his dentures until they creaked, clearly unwilling to give up.

This time, he spoke up to vindicate Shrek Academy, to participate in the Soul Master Competition under the name of Shrek Academy, and to perfectly prove himself.

Then he discussed a best-of-three strategy with Flander to shut up Jadeite.

But who would have thought that the seemingly certain victory would turn out like this? It was understandable that their disciple Tang San lost before, after all, the Blue Silver Grass martial soul was indeed a useless martial soul, and in addition, he could not use hidden weapons, which greatly limited his strength.

However, Ma Hongjun's Fire Phoenix Martial Soul was a top-tier Martial Soul. Furthermore, with the help of the immortal herb Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to purify the Phoenix Flame and remove the evil fire, it became a true Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, further enhancing his strength.

However, they still lost, and lost so miserably that even their three soul bones were shattered.

"You Shrek Academy won, this academy is yours from now on."

Just then, Yu Futu uttered a strange statement, and before anyone could react, he vanished in a flash of lightning.

He didn't want to see those people's faces again, otherwise he was afraid he would lose his temper and kill them all, and at the same time he felt extremely regretful.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have led this group of people into Blue Tyrant Academy.

Now look what's happened! They've let the wolf into the house, not only dragging Blue Tyrant Academy down with them, but also turning Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into the Clear Sky Clan's lapdog.

I regret it!

"Get out of here now!"

Jade Marrow glared menacingly at the Shrek Seven Devils, his mood also sour.

After learning that his family had been found and captured by the Haotian Sect, he understood that this battle was meaningless, because the final outcome was already decided, and even if they won all three rounds, it would not change the result.

Although puzzled, Flander had no time to dwell on the matter. He picked up his disciple Ma Hongjun and flew away, and the Shrek members also hurriedly left.

"I'm sorry, something happened in my family. You will graduate and be free after this Soul Master Competition ends."

After those people left, Jade Marrow said with remorse, feeling even more guilty than last time.

Last year, he disbanded the Blue Tyrant team because of his family's decision, making Jiangzhu and the others substitutes for other teams.

This time, Jiangzhu and the other two lived up to expectations, but she and her family once again failed to live up to expectations.

Now that the family has been subdued by the Haotian Sect, their lives are in the hands of them. There is no point in taking Jiangzhu and the other two into the family; it would be better to let them go free.

Hopefully, the three of them will make a name for themselves in the world of Soul Masters in the future, and even become prodigies.

Jiangzhu and Huang Yuan, who had just walked over, exchanged a glance. Although they had many questions, they didn't ask any further when they saw that the dean was unwilling to say more.

"Dean, what exactly happened to Senior Xiao?"

Jiangzhu suddenly asked a question. She had vaguely sensed something was wrong over the past year, and she was sure something had happened to her senior.

Jingling and Huang Yuan were also keeping a close eye on the jade marrow, equally concerned about this matter.

Although they didn't spend much time with that senior, they all developed a special bond with him, as if he were an older brother to them. He helped them cultivate their unique flames without any reservations, which led to their current achievements.

They all respected their senior and were also worried about his safety.

"Xiao Lang should be fine. Although he was kidnapped, with his exceptional talent, the other party certainly wouldn't kill him. You might even encounter him in this Soul Master Competition."

Jadeite no longer concealed its secrets and revealed the information it had obtained.

Hearing that their senior was alright and that they might even see each other soon, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as our senior is still alive, it's good. No matter which faction he joins, he's still our senior.

If the faction their senior joined had a good reputation, the three of them wouldn't mind going there to join them.

"You all rest well for a few days. Afterwards, I will take you to Sunset Forest to hunt for spirit rings."

Speaking of the matter of acquiring spirit rings, Jade Marrow plans to offer one last gift.

Over the past year, all three have greatly improved with the help of the strange fire. Huang Yuan and Jing Ling's soul power has reached level 50, allowing them to hunt for their fifth soul ring.

Once he obtains his fifth spirit ring, his strength will inevitably increase dramatically. This way, he can rest assured whether he is participating in the upcoming Spirit Master Competition or venturing into the Spirit Master world in the future.

It's a pity that Jiangzhu is a support-type Soul Master, which makes her weaker in breaking through bottlenecks. She only recently broke through to level 49. Hopefully, she can break through to level 50 before the end of this Soul Master Competition!

After giving some instructions, Yu Shi Sui turned and left, intending to learn more about the family's situation from Yu Fu Tu.

Jiangzhu and the other two did not leave immediately. Instead, they collected the soul bone fragments of Ma Hongjun and Tang San before returning to the mushroom field.

This place has become their base, and they've even expanded the treehouse left behind by their senior.

In addition, Jiangzhu used the Flame of Life to accelerate the growth of that tree, which has now transformed into a giant tree with a diameter of ten meters.

We also asked a botany major to help shape the tree, creating a lot of space in the trunk to be used as a secret cultivation chamber.

The three of them arrived at the underground space created by the roots of the giant tree and pieced together the fragments of the soul bones. They were all very excited, especially Jiangzhu.

Both Jingling and Huang Yuan used the eight spider leg soul bones from back then to cover their limbs, greatly enhancing their strength and speed. Currently, only Jiangzhu does not have such soul bones.

Now that he has obtained another set of spider leg soul bones from Tang San, he naturally has to use them immediately.

Following the same procedure as before, Jingling used the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to temper the Spider Leg Soul Bone, separating the poison within and forming three portions of toxicity.

It is the toxicity of the Eight Spider Spears themselves, the fire poison originating from the Fiery Apricot, and the cold poison originating from the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.

Recalling what her senior had done back then, Jiangzhu, who had the strongest control over the strange fire, used the Flame of Life to wrap and seal the three portions of poison. Perhaps when she saw her senior again in the future, she could help him create a new strange fire.
