Shrek black curtain, Fen Jue, devouring Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, directly sucked dry?

Central Arena.

When Ma Xiaotao said, "No matter the outcome, you will all advance and win," the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately after, a deafening uproar erupted.

"What does she mean?"

"Is this a guaranteed promotion?!"

"An Inner Court Soul Emperor is personally entering the ring as a whetstone? What kind of treatment is this?!"

"They've gone mad! What's Dai Yu's background?!"

On the Viewing Stand, Dean Yan Shaozhe's face turned ashen. He abruptly stood up.

"Nonsense!"

"Xiaotao! You're violating the academy rules!"

Ma Xiaotao didn't even turn her head, merely glancing at him indifferently.

"Uncle Yan, I didn't say I'd kill him."

"It's just a spar."

"Besides..."

She paused, a meaningful smile curving her lips.

"Elder Mu hasn't said anything, why are you in such a hurry?"

Yan Shaozhe froze. He subconsciously looked towards a corner.

Mu En was still leaning back in his lounge chair, eyes closed, as if asleep.

But his withered thin fingers tapped twice on the armrest.

Yan Shaozhe's pupils constricted. After a moment of silence, he slowly sat back down.

Elder Mu... had tacitly agreed?

On the Arena.

Dai Yu looked at the Woman with Fiery Red Hair before him, his heart stirring slightly.

Ma Xiaotao.

Evil Fire Phoenix.

Soul Emperor level.

In the original work, she was a ticking time bomb. Once the evil fire couldn't be suppressed, it would burn even her own people.

But no matter what, when Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Emperor, came to fight him, a Soul Grand Master.

Dai Yu disliked this point.

However...

Dai Yu's lips curved upwards.

He had the Extreme Fire, the Blazing Art, and Old Man Yao.

Others feared the evil fire, but he did not.

"It's my honor that Senior Sister Ma personally comes down to give pointers."

Dai Yu took a step forward, his expression calm:

"But..."

Dai Yu paused, his gaze falling on Ma Xiaotao, his tone still flat:

"Is Senior Sister sure she wants to fight here?"

"I'm afraid... I won't be able to control my strength and will destroy the arena."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an uproar again.

"Holy crap?!

He still dares to provoke her?!"

"That's a Soul Emperor!

Ma Xiaotao!"

"Is this kid crazy?!"

Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Her laughter was filled with wildness and admiration.

"Good! Good!"

"Brat!"

"Arrogant!"

"I like it!"

Ma Xiaotao extended her right hand, palm facing up, and a ball of dark red flame suddenly ignited:

"Then let me see just how arrogant your Extreme Fire is!"

"Dong--"

The gong sounded.

The Sixth Round officially began!

"Spiritual Detection Share, activate!"

Huo Yuhao immediately unleashed his Soul Skill, golden spiritual waves instantly enveloping the entire arena.

However, the next second--

"Too slow."

Ma Xiaotao's voice rang out.

The next second, her figure had already vanished from her original spot.

"What?!"

Huo Yuhao's pupils constricted.

His spiritual detection couldn't capture Ma Xiaotao's trajectory?!

"Huo Yuhao, be careful!"

Wang Dong exclaimed, spreading his Wings and about to charge forward.

However--

"Don't move."

Dai Yu's voice sounded.

Wang Dong froze, seeing Dai Yu already blocking in front of Huo Yuhao.

The next second, a dark red figure appeared before him.

A fair hand, carrying dark red flames potent enough to Melt Metal, struck directly at Dai Yu's face!

"Extreme Fire?"

"Let me see if it's pure enough!"

Ma Xiaotao's voice held a hint of mockery.

However--

Dai Yu smiled.

He didn't dodge, didn't retreat.

He simply raised his right hand, palm facing up.

The next second, the red mark on his glabella suddenly split open!

Flame Pupil, appear!

Within the golden red vertical pupils, it was as if a volcano on the verge of erupting was contained.

"Extreme Fire, burn!"

BOOM--!!!

Golden red flames erupted from his palm, colliding with the dark red evil fire with a BOOM!

"RUMBLE--!!!"

The collision of the two Extreme Fires unleashed a deafening roar.

The Defense Soul Tool Array on the arena flashed wildly, even showing minute cracks!

A heatwave swept across the entire venue. The students watching from below felt a scorching aura rush towards them, and they retreated one after another.

The smoke dispersed.

Ma Xiaotao stood in place, the mockery in her eyes gone, replaced by unprecedented solemnity.

Her evil fire... was blocked?!

And...

She could feel that Dai Yu's flames contained an aura purer and more domineering than her evil fire.

That was true Extreme Fire!

Not the pseudo extreme with impurities like evil fire!

"Good!"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes flashed with excitement:

"Now this is interesting!"

Her figure moved, and she charged forward again.

This time, she held nothing back.

Seven soul rings rose beneath her feet—two yellow, two purple, three black!

A terrifying aura of a Soul Emperor instantly swept the entire venue!

"Sixth Soul Skill: Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

BOOM--!!!

A massive phantom of a Dark Red Phoenix appeared behind Ma Xiaotao, blotting out the sun!

The phoenix let out a long cry to the heavens, its wings spread, and terrifying evil flames poured down like a torrential rain!

"Holy crap! The Sixth Soul Skill!"

"Ma Xiaotao's getting serious!"

"Dai Yu is finished!"

Exclamations erupted from below the stage.

However—

Dai Yu remained standing in place, unmoving.

He watched the oncoming storm of evil flames, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Old Man Yao."

"Mhm."

In the Sea of Consciousness, Old Man Yao's illusory figure appeared, stroking his beard and smiling:

"This girl's flames are domineering, but they have too many impurities. They're perfect for you to practice with."

"Activate the Blazing Art, devour!"

Dai Yu took a deep breath, the Blazing Art within his body spinning wildly!

The next second—

His Flame Pupil erupted with light!

In his golden red vertical pupils, a massive vortex seemed to appear.

The vortex spun madly, generating a terrifying suction force!

"What?!"

Ma Xiaotao's pupils contracted sharply.

She discovered in horror that the evil fire she had released was being swallowed by the eye on Dai Yu's glabella, completely out of her control!

"How is this possible?!"

She frantically urged her Soul Power, attempting to recall the flames.

However—she couldn't!

Dai Yu's Flame Pupil was like a bottomless pit, madly devouring her evil fire!

"Not enough... still not enough..."

Dai Yu muttered to himself.

He could feel that after devouring Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, the Extreme Fire within his body was expanding wildly!

The power of his Flame Pupil was increasing at a visible rate!

"More!"

Dai Yu grunted, actively activating the Blazing Art and increasing the swallowing force!

Ma Xiaotao's face changed drastically.

She could feel her Soul Power draining away frantically!

If this continued, she would be drained dry!

"Enough!"

An aged voice rang out.

The next second, a grey figure appeared in the center of the stage.

Mu En.

He raised his withered thin palm and waved it gently.

A soft yet irresistible force instantly separated Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yu.

Dai Yu's swallowing was interrupted, and his Flame Pupil slowly closed.

Ma Xiaotao staggered back, her face pale, gasping for breath.
