Meanwhile, high above.
"Hmph!"
Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly. The Phoenix Evil Fire caused bloodshot veins to appear in her eyes, and the invisible Dragon's Might brought by her Golden Eyes made her last shred of clarity disappear. She gradually lost the ability to think, only wanting to attack!
Her Fifth Soul Ring was lit.
A scorching airflow erupted outward from Ma Xiaotao's body. The Phoenix Flames around her quickly surged upward. At the same time, her figure began to become ethereal and indistinct, merging with the flames in an instant, indistinguishable from them.
The clouds, integrated with the night, were illuminated in scarlet red by the raging flames. An aggressive heat current raged wildly, with the smell of sulfur and gunpowder smoke pervading the air.
The next second, a sense of majesty, comparable to the oppressive feeling of the Golden Eyes, descended out of nowhere. The flames filling the sky, while constantly flickering, transformed into an exquisite fire phoenix.
"Caw—"
After a phoenix cry, this fire phoenix seemed to come alive. It soared through the sky, trailing a burning scarlet tail flame, leaving sparks in mid-air like a blazing sun as it descended upon Moyuan!
On the lake below, Moyuan shrunk the Sea of Blood, which had expanded to a diameter of eighty meters, to within three meters, merely enveloping him.
Looking at the descending blazing sun, Moyuan's lips suddenly curved into an arc, and he said indifferently with an inexplicable tone, "Let you all witness what a Spirit Speech Fusion Skill is. The Wind King's Eyes will always accompany Jun Yan..."
As his voice fell, ancient and profound Dragon Language bloomed silently. Unlike before, this time Moyuan recited two completely different Dragon Languages!
Spirit Speech: Jun Yan erupts!
Spirit Speech: Wind King's Eyes erupt!
Deep red flames burst forth with roars like repeated Napalm explosions! These flames floated and burned in the air, turning a hundred-meter radius into a Sea of Blood.
It wasn't over yet. On the surging lake, wisps of breeze brushed past. At first, these winds couldn't even stir up a splash, but in just half a breath.
These breezes grew faster and more violent! From all directions, in the blink of an eye, they transformed into hurricanes strong enough to stir up Storm!
These hurricanes began to rotate and converge counter-clockwise with Moyuan at the center. In this process, they inevitably merged with the raging sea of fire.
The torrent of flames formed by the hurricanes and the sea of fire, fueled by tons of oxygen, transformed into a Heaven-Piercing Fire Pillar connecting the Sea of God Lake below to the sky above!
The dazzling light and the Burning City Flames, their fusion was unparalleled, like a match made in heaven!
The tornado of fire and wind stood between heaven and earth at this moment!
Standing before the tornado of Burning City Flames, Moyuan spread his arms in mid-air, as if embracing the world. His black hair danced wildly, and his robes fluttered!
At this moment, he was like the King of Fire, the Emperor of Wind!
The blinding light emanating from the tornado of light and fire spread for dozens of miles, not only clearly visible to the Inner Court students not far away but also faintly visible to the Outer Court and even Shrek City.
If not for the fact that the academy's teachers showed no reaction, the students who didn't understand would have already caused quite a panic.
"Wocao! No, buddy? That Fire Dragon Roll was caused by a freshman? Is he even a freshman?" Xu Sanshi, who had returned, stared dumbfounded at the Fire Dragon Roll connecting heaven and earth in the distance.
Originally, after asking Moyuan and Ning Tian to help cover for him and escape, Xu Sanshi had planned to flee directly to Shrek City and find a place to hide.
But halfway there, he suddenly remembered that even if he just pointed the way to mislead them, Ma Xiaotao, who was suffering from Evil Fire Madness, was not something two first-year freshmen could handle. She would likely be in danger.
Under the condemnation of his conscience, Xu Sanshi ran back. However, when he was prepared to be dragged back and beaten by Ma Xiaotao, he found that besides Ning Tian, both Ma Xiaotao and Moyuan were nowhere to be seen.
Just as he was about to ask Ning Tian where Moyuan and Ma Xiaotao had gone, the Fire Dragon Roll in the sky erupted.
"Junior Sister, is the person confronting Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao really your companion?" Xu Sanshi cautiously asked Ning Tian, whose expression was a little anxious.
Ning Tian ignored Xu Sanshi.
If it weren't for him, she and Moyuan wouldn't have encountered that crazy woman at all, and Moyuan wouldn't be fighting a Soul Emperor alone with his Forty Rank Soul Power now.
Xu Sanshi, who had been rebuffed, wasn't angry. After all, this matter had started because of him. He scratched the back of his head and quietly watched the Fire Dragon Roll in the sky, wanting to see how far this first-year junior brother Moyuan could go.
Above the Sea God Island of the Inner Court, two figures stood side by side.
"Headmaster, am I seeing this correctly? That attack was launched by a Forty Rank Soul Ancestor? And he's only an eleven-year-old Soul Ancestor? It's too absurd," the figure on the right murmured in disbelief.
As soon as he said this, the identity of the figure on the left was revealed. After all, in Shrek Academy, the only one who could appear in the sky above the Inner Court, exuding a comfortable aura of light, and be called the Headmaster was none other than Mingfeng Douluo Yan Shaozhe!
"No, the wind fueled the fire. Such an attack is possible because those two soul skills fit almost perfectly. Forty-first Rank Soul Power at eleven years old, an Elemental Body Martial Soul. It seems his level is not low. His courage, body technique, and development of his martial soul can all be considered the best among his peers."
Yan Shaozhe looked at Moyuan, who was controlling the Fire Dragon Roll to wreak havoc on the Sea God Lake below, his eyes full of admiration. "He is indeed someone worthy of the teacher's attention. If he is allowed to grow, he will definitely be a pillar of any force in the future."
The person on the right was stunned and looked surprised. "I didn't expect this freshman to attract Old Mu's attention. Then, Headmaster, should we immediately admit him into the Inner Court for focused training? With his strength, he is qualified to enter the Inner Court."
"No," Yan Shaozhe shook his head. "Let him continue to grow in the Outer Court for now and pay more attention. After all, the information on the recommendation letter alone does not reveal his specific situation."
"Moreover, Forty-first Rank at eleven years old is still too defying the heavens. No one knows if he used any other methods to improve his strength. It would be laughable if we ended up letting an Evil Soul Master into the Inner Court."
Facing Yan Shaozhe's explanation, the figure on the left was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Indeed, such talent at eleven years old reaching Forty-first Rank was something he wouldn't believe if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Even Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago was only at the Twenty-ninth Rank at this age.
Perhaps there was a difference in the development of the era, but it was enough to show how terrifying Moyuan was at this moment.
This either meant Moyuan's talent was truly defying the heavens, or he had some unknown means of improving his strength. Such soul masters had a common name: Evil Soul Masters.
This was why Yan Shaozhe decided to focus on observing Moyuan. After all, Evil Soul Masters had a characteristic: the pleasure of rapidly increasing their Soul Power through evil means often made them addicted.
At the same time, their minds would degenerate towards darkness, and they would basically have nothing to do with normal people. They would never cultivate honestly.
Unfortunately, Moyuan does indeed absorb the soul power and life force of his prey to enhance and recover himself, but he isn't addicted. As for his will falling into darkness, he can withstand the mental erosion caused by bloodlust, so what else would he fear?
If he could improve like this, it would be best. If not, he could accept it. At most, his Soul Power Level would increase at a normal pace.
"But Headmaster, according to the information gathered over the past half-day, the eldest daughter of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is very close to him, and his Martial Soul is a Body Martial Soul," the figure on the right continued.
"If the Hall of the Body finds out about this kid's Talent, with their unscrupulous methods, they'll definitely come to snatch him. It's possible that in the blink of an eye, he'll be abducted by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan or the Hall of the Body."
Yan Shaozhe fell silent for a While upon hearing this. What was said made sense. With Moyuan's Talent, he was currently a walking Succubus, and any force would want to possess him.
Especially the Hall of the Body.
Yan Shaozhe even dared to be sure that if Du Busi, that old geezer, knew of Moyuan's existence, he would dare to come directly to the academy to threaten and snatch him.
After sighing that geniuses were always sought after, Yan Shaozhe spoke, "Then give this kid some privileges. He'll study in the Outer Court first, but he can come to the Inner Court alone at any time. And the next Shrek Seven Devils will have a spot directly for him."
"Such special Care can also show our optimism and expectations for him."
The figure on the right immediately agreed to this.
It was a pity Moyuan wasn't here at the moment. Otherwise, if he heard the benefits offered by Yan Shaozhe, he might not be able to help but laugh out loud.
The higher-ups of Shrek Academy had always been like this, always trying to win over the best geniuses at the lowest cost. Who knows who they learned this from.
