The Sturdy Young Man, who was pinned to the ground by the Red-Haired Woman and had no means of resistance, saw Ling Bai and felt as if a savior had descended from the heavens. He shouted with all his might:
"Big Brother, save..."
The moment he spoke, Ling Bai instantly snapped back to reality: "Sorry for the interruption, please continue!"
He interrupted the spell!
Then!
Closed the door!
Ran away!
Damn, it's her!
After opening the door, Ling Bai clearly saw the Red-Haired Woman's crazed, blood-red eyes and the fiery phoenix shape forming behind her.
Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Xiaotao!
The black shield on the ground was the top-tier martial soul Mystic Turtle Shield, and the identity of the youth who had been screaming and howling was now obvious!
Mystic Turtle Shield, Xu San Shi!
"Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck..."
His neighbor was a live volcano, ready to erupt at any moment!
Ma Xiaotao inherited the phoenix martial soul from her ancestor Ma Hongjun, but it was tainted with troublesome evil fire. Before Huo Yuhao fused with the Ice Empress, she had always relied on Xu San Shi, who possessed the dual-attribute martial soul Mystic Turtle Shield, to resolve her evil fire issues. Tonight was no different, and Ling Bai had just happened to walk in on them!
Ling Bai's feet moved swiftly, wishing he had two more legs. Based on the soul power fluctuations from Ma Xiaotao, she had definitely broken through to the Six-Ringed Soul Emperor, which was twenty levels higher than Ling Bai!
Better to avoid trouble, running is the best option!
"Boom-"
Ling Bai suddenly turned his head, and a bowl-thick phoenix fire line grazed his ear and spiraled into the ground in front of him. After the sound dissipated, the flames ignited the surrounding plants, and the smoke rose to the sky.
"Stop!"
A voice filled with wild and explosive energy rang out like thunder. Ling Bai turned around with a cold expression, his golden eyes locking onto Ma Xiaotao, who had stepped out of the room. He gently touched his earlobe, which had been scorched by the heat.
"You've got guts."
In the web-like world constructed by the Spider Empress' perception, if Chu Qingtian's malice was a flame, Ma Xiaotao's was like a towering giant engulfed in raging fire!
Ling Bai's gaze swept across the room, and he caught a glimpse of a figure stealthily moving along the wall, inching towards the door.
Xu San Shi!
"Heh... heh... Big Brother!"
Feeling that he had been discovered, Xu San Shi paused his sneaky steps and gave Ling Bai an awkward but polite smile.
"Run quickly, I won't be responsible if you get caught in the crossfire."
Ling Bai said calmly. Xu San Shi was only a Three-Ringed Soul Sage, and his soul power was nearly depleted from helping Ma Xiaotao with her evil fire. Staying here would only be a burden, so it was better to let him run far away and settle accounts later!
"Got it! Big Brother, don't worry about me, I'll run super fast!"
Hearing this, Xu San Shi immediately ran off, diving into the Sea God Lake and vanishing without a trace.
"...Alright, a turtle won't drown in water."
Ling Bai turned his gaze back to Ma Xiaotao, who was enveloped in flames. She was far from being a half-baked inner courtyard freshman like Chu Qingtian. The top-tier martial soul Evil Fire Phoenix, with its near-ultimate fire attributes and the of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard buffs, was undoubtedly a formidable Soul Emperor on the Douluo Continent!
However, Ling Bai was never one to back down. A Soul Emperor, so what?
Ling Bai took a deep breath and roared: "Angel Realm!"
"Buzz-"
The air shattered like a lake, radiating countless shimmering golden lights!
Holy Light Sweep!
Sword Qi Rampage!
A brilliant golden domain descended from nowhere!
Six-Winged Angel Inborn Realm, Angel Realm!
Effect: The Angel Realm is filled with divine power, enhancing all of Ling Bai's attributes by 20%, reducing soul power consumption by 50%, weakening enemies' attributes by 20% and continuously purifying their soul power with Angel Purification. All elements within the domain are purified into divine attributes and continuously erode the opponent's soul power! The Six-Winged Angel, also known as the Six-Winged Seraphim, is the embodiment of holiness, light, and fire. Through the Angel Realm, Ling Bai can absorb solar energy to replenish his soul power and accelerate his healing!
The Holy Angel Sword, enhanced by divine power, evolves into Holy Sword Qi, with greatly increased attack and penetration power. Holy Sword Qi equally suppresses all non-ultimate attributes and doubles in power against dark and evil attributes!
With the Angel Realm activated, divine power was boundless, and Ling Bai felt a sense of control over the world!
Although Ma Xiaotao was controlled by the evil fire, her long-cultivated combat instincts remained. She××××××××××××××××××, immediately formed a layer of flame shield, with her yellow, purple, and black soul rings flickering in sequence. The first soul ring lit up, and a straight line of crimson phoenix fire shot out!
First soul skill, Phoenix Fire Line!
"Evil-Banishing Slash!"
The Holy Angel Sword, enhanced by divine sword qi, slashed out. Even with the fourth soul skill, Evil God Slash was still the strongest single-target attack skill of the Six-Winged
Seraphim!
"Boom-"
Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flame shield smoked, the split flame torrent slid past Ling Bai's body
and landed on the innocent plants of the Sea God Island, emitting white smoke and high residual heat, but it was instantly annihilated by the divine power of the Angel Realm.
"Crack, crack, crack... Bang!"
The flame shield groaned in pain and finally exploded in front of Ma Xiaotao's shocked eyes!
The Evil God Slash, enhanced by the Angel Realm, was terrifying!
"Radiant Spirit Array. Bind!"
Facing Chu Qingtian, Ling Bai could afford to show mercy due to his overwhelming strength, but against Ma Xiaotao, whose soul power was twenty levels higher, he would not hold back!
The beautiful seven-pointed star array bloomed like stars under her feet, divine power forming chains that locked Ma Xiaotao's limbs!
"Dean, I'm not seeing things, right? Little Tao is actually restrained by a Four-Ringed Soul
x?"
In the sky, two figures stood side by side. The figure on the left rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
The figure called Dean looked at Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao on the Sea God Island with interest and said, "His appearance is very unfamiliar. Is he a new student this year? Six-Winged Seraphim... Good, a legendary divine-level martial soul!"
At the end, the Dean's tone involuntarily rose.
The figure on the left understood the Dean's excitement. Each of the divine-level talents of
the Six-Winged Seraphim far surpassed ordinary martial souls.
Ultimate attributes are usually considered the pinnacle of martial souls, but for the Six-
Winged Seraphim, this is merely a stepping stone to becoming a divine-level martial soul, naturally awakening with ultimate holiness!
The most monstrous aspect of the Six-Winged Seraphim is that its bloodline is protected by the Angel God, preventing a decrease in cultivation speed due to ultimate holiness, thus avoiding the only weakness of ultimate attributes: the slowdown in cultivation after level
thirty!
Realm-type skills are always rare and hard to come by. Soul Masters generally only have a chance to obtain a realm when they break through to the level, and an Inborn Realm is a revered status that all beings look up to!
At Shrek Academy, including the Inner Courtyard's senior sister Zhang Lexuan, no student possesses an Inborn Realm!
Even powerful martial souls like the, Blue-Electric Tyrant Dragon, and Seven-Treasure Pagoda have not awakened an Inborn Realm, showing how powerful and rare an Inborn Realm
is!
As for the innate soul power of level twenty, it goes without saying that the Six-Winged Seraphim is unique among the millions of martial souls on the entire Douluo Continent!
"Old Li, I must capture this young man!"
The Dean's tone was firm, speaking to Teacher Li and to himself. "Dean, is the Six-Winged Seraphim really that unreasonable in strength?"
Teacher Li pointed below and asked, "That boy's soul power is only level forty-one, and he
can even match Little Tao?"
Under the Radiant Spirit Array's restraint, Ma Xiaotao's chest heaved, and her neck turned a unnatural shade of red, like a bird trapped in a cage, flapping its wings in vain!
"Of course not."
The Dean smiled mysteriously and said, "Little Tao is my personally trained disciple.
Although the Six-Winged Seraphim is strong, it is not enough to defeat her with a twenty- level gap. Old Li, let the other students go back to their training. I want to see what other skills
this boy has!"
"Alright."
The commotion caused by the Evil Fire Phoenix and the Six-Winged Seraphim was too great,
with one setting fires and the other emitting light, almost turning the night into day. A large number of Inner Courtyard students rushed over, and the Dean did not want them to interfere with the battle, so he sent Teacher Li to send them back to rest.
Ling Bai looked at Ma Xiaotao with a calm gaze, just like the Dean, he did not believe that the
Radiant Spirit Array alone could restrain the berserk Ma Xiaotao!
"Creak, creak..."
The divine chains trembled under the burning of the phoenix flames. Ma Xiaotao's six soul
rings glowed brightly under the flames, and her second and third soul rings lit up
simultaneously!
Second soul skill, Burning Phoenix!
Third soul skill, Phoenix Wings of the Sky!
Two buff skills!
The burning phoenix flames erupted like a geyser, and Ma Xiaotao bathed in the flames, her
crimson flames outlining magnificent phoenix wings, breaking free of the chains and soaring
into the sky!
With a flap of his angel wings, Ling Bai ascended, holding the Holy Angel Sword and gazing at
Ma Xiaotao. She was even more frenzied now, with a deep black tinge in the crimson phoenix
flames! Crimson flames suddenly burst from Ma Xiaotao's legs, forming ripples that spread out, followed by a burst of phoenix fire pillars from her feet!
"Soul Bone skill..."
Ma Xiaotao's legs had absorbed soul bones, and they were from the same type of soul beast,
granting the same soul skill: acceleration!
With the thousand-year-old heritage of Shrek Academy and Ma Xiaotao's status, the two soul
bones must have reached the thousand-year level!
The acceleration provided by the two thousand-year-old soul bones was terrifying. In an instant, Ma Xiaotao's speed far exceeded that of Chu Qingtian, known for his speed in the
Outer Courtyard. The air crackled and whistled as she charged at Ling Bai like a cannonball! "Angel Realm, gather!"
Ling Bai used what he had just learned; the divine power within the Angel Realm formed a shield in front of him. Facing Ma Xiaotao's meteoric attack, Ling Bai did not retreat but advanced, releasing his third soul skill, Holy Heart, simultaneously. With the dual enhancement of the Angel Realm and Holy Heart, a pair of golden wings seemed to appear behind Ling Bai, a sign of his impending evolution into a Four-Winged Angel!
"Boom-"
Golden and crimson light and flames continuously fell into the Sea God Lake, a feast of divine
power and phoenix flames!
"My goodness!"
Xu San Shi, hiding in the Sea God Lake and blowing bubbles, poked his head out and looked up
at the evenly matched pair, exclaiming in amazement.
Over the years, he had been "tortured" by Ma Xiaotao and knew her strength all too well. Ling
Bai, with only a Four-Ringed cultivation, could match her without falling behind, leaving Xu San Shi to marvel at how strong his big brother was!
Holy sword qi poured out like ink, and the phoenix flames, though approaching ultimate fire, were not ultimate fire. They were gradually overwhelmed by the Six-Winged Seraphim's ultimate holiness, and the flames spouting from Ma Xiaotao's feet grew thinner!
The power of the divine-level Six-Winged Seraphim was unleashed to the fullest! At this moment, Ling Bai felt an exhilarating sense of satisfaction!
As the Burning Phoenix was about to dissipate, Ma Xiaotao's fourth soul ring lit up instantly! Ling Bai quickly retreated. Having read the original, he knew that Ma Xiaotao's first seven
soul skills were identical to Ma Hongjun's, whether as a legacy or because San Shao was too lazy to create new ones! Fourth soul skill, Phoenix Ascend!
This skill consists of a disorienting air shockwave followed by a phoenix lava surge that is as
powerful as a volcanic eruption. If you get hit by the first part, you will definitely get hit by the second part. Ling Bai retreated to avoid the air shockwave! However, things did not go as Ling Bai expected. The air shockwave of Phoenix Ascend did not
occur; instead, Ma Xiaotao's palms gathered scorching flames, the heat so intense that the
surrounding air began to distort!
Hmm!?
Ling Bai's face was one of shock, as if his mother had been shocked for a hundred years. You, a
phoenix, are mocking a chicken...
No, something's not right!
Where's the wind-up!?
Changing a charged skill to an instant release, you're cheating!
"Impression is everything..."
Ling Bai understood. Who said Phoenix Ascend had to follow a sequence?
Like his Evil God Dual Blade Slash and Radiant Spirit Array Bind, Ma Xiaotao had created an
advanced version of Phoenix Ascend!
Avoiding the limitation of the second part being a follow-up skill, she directly released the
second part!
"Roar-"
A loud phoenix cry pierced the clouds, carrying a metallic resonance!
Phoenix Ascend, burst!
"Boom!"
The phoenix flames struck a divine tornado, which instantly turned golden and red!
The seven-pointed star array, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, enveloped the dual-
colored tornado and hurled it into the Sea God Lake, causing water to splash into the air and the dark sky to rain a brilliant blue.
Radiant Spirit Array Storm!
XX!
Radiant Spirit Array Control!
Under the enhancement of the Angel Realm, the two seven-pointed star arrays together
blocked Phoenix Ascend!
"Hmph!"
Ma Xiaotao coldly snorted, her eyes bloodshot from the evil fire. The erosion of soul power by
the Angel Realm also continuously oppressed her already fragile mind, gradually losing her
ability to think and focusing only on attacking!
Fifth soul ring ignited!
A scorching heat wave radiated outward from Ma Xiaotao's body, and the phoenix flames around her rapidly ascended. She suddenly vanished, as if merging with the flames. The cool night air over the Sea God Lake became scorching, and an aggressive heat wave rose,
permeating the air with a hint of gunpowder and lava.
The next second, an indescribable majesty appeared, and a domineering crimson flame soared into the sky, transforming into a magnificent fire phoenix soaring through the heavens. Under the glow of the burning crimson flames, the majesty of the king of birds was undeniable!
"Scream-" After a loud phoenix cry, the phoenix, with its incomparably brilliant tail flames, left behind
crimson starlight in the air, charging at Ling Bai like a blazing sun.
Fifth soul skill, Phoenix Piercing Cloud!
The turbulent lake water slid down Ling Bai's cheek and dripped onto his hand holding the
Holy Angel Sword, only to be evaporated by the approaching heat. He looked down at the charging phoenix, his golden eyes shining even brighter than the phoenix flames illuminating
the night!
"Ten Thousand-"
Ling Bai's golden eyes like frost, he let out a long roar, and the sky was filled with the resonance of holy sword qi, as if tearing apart the heavens!
The most majestic and pure divine power on the continent, enhanced by the Angel Realm,
transformed from the abstract to the tangible, condensing into countless, innumerable sword blades! Seeing the sudden appearance of ten thousand holy sword blades in the air, the Dean and the other unseen elders of the Sea God Pavilion, who were watching the battle, were stunned. Especially when they felt the terrifying divine power contained within the ten thousand sword
blades, their faces turned pale with shock.
As the ten thousand sword blades revealed their full might, a faint sense of solemnity
emanated from Ling Bai, and he lightly shouted: "Ten Thousand-Radiance!"
Six-Winged Seraphim's fourth soul skill, Ten Thousand Blade Radiance!
