Phoenix Meteor Shower was a Ten Thousand Year soul skill of the Evil Fire Phoenix. It was Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul skill, while Jiang Qingtong's third soul ring was at the Ten Thousand Year Level. In Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier's eyes, there was nothing surprising about her being able to use Phoenix Meteor Shower.
But her use of Phoenix Meteor Shower truly exceeded both of their expectations.
In this day and age, from Titled Douluo down to one-ring soul masters, everyone used soul skills by activating their soul rings and unleashing the skill. If it did not work once, they simply used it a few more times.
Yan Shaozhe had seen Ma Xiaotao use Phoenix Meteor Shower more than once, but he had never imagined that it could be used the way Jiang Qingtong used it!
After unleashing Phoenix Meteor Shower, Jiang Qingtong had used that very soul skill to launch another attack, taking down both Dai Huabin and Ning Tian at once!
One soul skill, used in multiple ways!
"Tell me, does her talent surpass anyone you have ever seen?" Just as Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier were stunned, a voice came from behind them.
The two swiftly turned around and saw Mu En seated in a reclining chair, smiling as he watched them—and Jiang Qingtong on the Arena below.
After hearing Mu En's question, Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, "Indeed. Her talent surpasses that of anyone I have ever seen."
"I can state with certainty that as long as she does not die young, she will inevitably become a Limit Douluo in the future! A Limit Douluo with Twin Martial Souls, one of them even being an Ultimate Martial Soul—this means she will be invincible under heaven!" Mu En said slowly to Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier as he watched Jiang Qingtong.
Invincible under heaven!
Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier's pupils constricted. Since even Mu En had said so, there could be no doubt about it!
"If she expands the Sun Moon Empire's territory, where will the Original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms have left to stand?" Yan Shaozhe sighed, his gaze gradually turning resolute. "For Xiaotao's sake, and for the Original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms, we must keep her at Shrek!"
"Do not be hasty, lest she develop resistance."
Mu En cautioned Yan Shaozhe, "Her nature is kind and pure. She has not yet become like those people of the Sun Moon Empire, willing to do anything for expansion. Besides, the academy can offer to help her resolve the troubles caused by the Evil Fire as a condition for keeping her here."
"Resolve the troubles caused by the Evil Fire?"
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe glanced back at Jiang Qingtong on the Arena. "But hasn't she already stopped being affected by the Evil Fire?"
Mu En shook his head. "Not at all. You cannot tell, but this old man's eyesight is still sharp. I can see that she is still resisting the effects brought by the Evil Fire. I believe the reason she has not used her Second Martial Soul for so long is that she has been trying to avoid the Evil Fire."
"So that's how it is!" Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier suddenly understood.
They had assumed that because Jiang Qingtong had used the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul without suffering any visible effects from the Evil Fire, she had already found a way to suppress it. Thinking about it now, Jiang Qingtong had Twin Martial Souls. Perhaps she had merely been avoiding the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul as much as possible to avoid its effects.
With that thought, Yan Shaozhe added, "But even Xiaotao's Evil Fire has yet to be suppressed. Will she believe that we can help her suppress hers?"
"That depends on how you communicate with her," Mu En said. "The Evil Fire of the Evil Fire Phoenix can only be suppressed by an Ultimate Martial Soul such as Ultimate Ice. And when it comes to knowledge and cultivation of Martial Souls, who is more skilled than Shrek?"
"Understood." Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier nodded, grasping Mu En's meaning.
In short, they needed to coax her into staying at Shrek Academy first. As long as they found a Martial Soul like Ultimate Ice, they could balance out the Evil Fire.
On the Arena, after Ning Tian and Dai Huabin were knocked out, only Xie Huanyue remained. He looked solemnly at Jiang Qingtong. Without Ning Tian's enhancement, he knew he was no match for Jiang Qingtong!
An exceptional Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring configuration, Twin Martial Souls, a Three Rings Soul Elder! Every one of these was something only geniuses possessed, yet they were all gathered in one person!
Jiang Qingtong looked at Xie Huanyue. The phantom of the Evil Fire Phoenix threw back its head and let out a cry as she charged toward him.
Watching Jiang Qingtong rush at him, Xie Huanyue clenched his fists and shouted, "They're just Twin Martial Souls! What's so great about them? Take this—Elephant's Wrath!"
Xie Huanyue unleashed Elephant's Wrath once more, intending to clash head-on with Jiang Qingtong. But he had already expended part of his Soul Power in his fight against Wang Dong, and Ning Tian's support was gone. How could Xie Huanyue alone possibly be Jiang Qingtong's match?
Jiang Qingtong gathered fireballs from Phoenix Meteor Shower around her body, then raised her fist and punched Xie Huanyue.
As Jiang Qingtong's fist landed on Xie Huanyue's body, every fireball bombarded his surface. Though his Rubber Elephant Martial Soul greatly increased his defense, he was still sent flying by Jiang Qingtong's punch.
Trailing black smoke, Xie Huanyue was knocked off the Arena by Jiang Qingtong. With that, the three strongest Freshmen of the challenging side had all been defeated by Jiang Qingtong.
Wu Feng ran out from the Audience Stand. She rushed beneath the Arena, embraced Ning Tian, and asked anxiously, "Young Mistress, are you all right? Young Mistress!"
"Wu Feng..."
Ning Tian coughed lightly. Her brows were tightly furrowed as she propped herself up and sat upright. "I told you, at the academy, you are to call me Sister."
"Sister..." Wu Feng nodded.
Ning Tian raised her head again and looked at Jiang Qingtong on the Arena, then gave a bitter smile. "So, her refusal to choose the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda truly came from confidence in herself. It seems I was too arrogant."
"Sister, she hurt you! Should I..." Wu Feng frowned and looked toward Jiang Qingtong.
Ning Tian shook her head to stop her. "No! This is Shrek Academy. Here, we absolutely cannot use the power of our sect! Besides, we should be thinking of a way to draw her into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"Draw her into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Wu Feng froze. "Sister..."
"With a powerhouse like her, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future will shine even brighter!" Ning Tian stood with Wu Feng's support.
Zhuang Lao leisurely made his way over and waved his hand, sending light down upon the three of them and healing their injuries.
Dai Huabin climbed out of the crater on the Arena and looked at Jiang Qingtong with a complicated expression.
Jiang Qingtong had not yet withdrawn her Martial Soul. Noticing Dai Huabin's gaze, she smiled and asked, "What? You won't accept this?"
Dai Huabin sighed upon hearing that. With mixed emotions, he said, "We lost..."
Fair and square, without any excuse, they had been defeated head-on by Jiang Qingtong's absolute strength! Twin Martial Souls and Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings—these truly were overwhelming talents that they found difficult to overcome!
