Battle Ma Xiaotao

A fist shimmering with golden electricity slammed solidly into the body of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, ignoring any and all defenses the opponent attempted.

Releasing the Thunderclap Art while within a soul skill of absolute defense was the optimal choice, allowing for the maximization of its destructive power.

With Yu Daoyun's profound soul power and the terrifying blood energy of the Dragon King converging into a single palm, the resulting force was self-evident.

"Ah--!"

Dai Yueheng let out a miserable shriek, feeling as if his very body had been pierced through. He was forcibly ejected from his Demon God Transformation state, sent flying backward, and began foaming at the mouth.

This scene was hauntingly similar to one from six years ago; both times, he had been struck so hard he foamed at the mouth.

However, unlike last time, Dai Yueheng had managed to release several soul skills, making this performance slightly better than the previous one.

He had proven with his own strength that even a frenzied Evil-Eyed White Tiger was nothing more than a paper tiger in the face of a true Dragon King Martial Soul.

With that, the battle ended.

Yu Daoyun calmly withdrew his hand, looked down at the unconscious Dai Yueheng, and sighed, "I held back. I wanted to see if you had made any progress lately, but I never expected you to be so fragile. You have truly disappointed me."

"If I had used this move from the very beginning, you wouldn't have stood a chance. After all, raw power is the only truth."

"Admit it, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger is no match for the Golden Dragon."

Upon hearing such soul-crushing remarks, Dai Yueheng spat out another mouthful of foam.

He had been angered into unconsciousness.

Not only had he been defeated, but he had been mocked to his face; the humiliation was absolute, and he felt he no longer had the face to see his father.

Meanwhile, Yan Shaozhe immediately arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena to examine Dai Yueheng's injuries.

After a brief inspection, Yan Shaozhe was shocked, his voice sinking as he said, "Yueheng was nearly in mortal danger. His meridians are fractured throughout his entire body. Was that move just now your self-created soul skill?"

Yu Daoyun nodded, "It is just a very ordinary self-created soul skill. Dean, you can ask Senior Sister Lexuan; she was the one who taught it to me. It is merely a method of releasing soul power."

Zhang Lexuan, who was watching the match, froze upon hearing this.

This had nothing to do with her; it was something her Child Groom had comprehended on his own. She had merely pointed him in the right direction.

Yan Shaozhe narrowed his eyes but did not press the matter, simply ordering others to carry Dai Yueheng away for treatment.

Yu Daoyun's strength exceeded his wildest imagination; it would be a pity not to have him protect Shrek's ten-thousand-year glory.

If Yu Daoyun were to fight alongside Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, they would surely secure the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

But now, what a pity!

Following this, Yu Daoyun took out a milk bottle to replenish his soul power and welcomed his second opponent.

That was Ma Xiaotao.

Today, Ma Xiaotao was dressed in a fiery red long gown, the neckline revealing a deep cleavage and a large expanse of snow-white skin. Her long legs were slender and shapely; no matter how one looked at her, she resembled a seductive enchantress.

Yu Daoyun had no interest in such enchantresses.

He preferred conservative girls, such as Zhang Lexuan, Ling Luochen, or Han Ruoruo.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao called out from the front, "Since you defeated Dai Yueheng, I won't be holding back. Unless you honestly admit defeat, my Evil Fire won't show any mercy."

Yu Daoyun smiled and said, "Bring it on."

As soon as he finished speaking, the optimal six-ring configuration rose beneath Ma Xiaotao's feet. Terrifying Phoenix Evil Fire erupted, and phoenix wings unfurled behind her as she took flight into mid-air.

Fighting a power-type soul master meant employing a kite strategy, preventing the opponent from attacking or utilizing the ground to unleash their terrifying strength.

The next moment, dragon wings emerged from Yu Daoyun's back as well, and he flew even higher than Ma Xiaotao, his pressure even more intense.

Any dragon-type martial soul could fly, and they didn't even need to obtain a soul ring to do so; this was an innate advantage, though Yu Daoyun simply disliked flying.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao decisively widened the distance. Her first and second soul rings lit up in succession, and she launched a barrage of Phoenix Fire Line attacks at Yu Daoyun with incredible speed.

In the aerial battlefield, she could ensure Yu Daoyun's power had nowhere to land.

Yu Daoyun's figure flickered; while dodging the Phoenix Fire Line attacks, he spat out Dragon Breath in retaliation.

The Golden Dragon's Dragon Breath was stronger and thicker.

This method of releasing soul skills was simple, but Yu Daoyun had never liked using it because he disliked aerial combat.

Soon, the two engaged in a contest in the sky, trading blows back and forth.

Yu Daoyun attempted to find an opening to close the distance, but Ma Xiaotao refused to grant him one.

Because she was familiar with aerial combat, Ma Xiaotao was able to dodge his attacks time and again.

After a dozen rounds, he still had no opening.

Yu Daoyun grew annoyed and released an endless wave of dragon might.

Ma Xiaotao's body stiffened, and when she faced the incoming Yu Daoyun again, her reaction was half a beat slow.

And it was in that half-beat that Yu Daoyun's fist landed on her body.

"Ah--!"

Ma Xiaotao let out a sharp cry as she plummeted from mid-air and crashed onto the ground.

She quickly mounted a counterattack, her fifth soul ring lighting up. Enveloped in Phoenix Evil Fire, she launched a soul skill toward the descending Yu Daoyun.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike."

Facing the offensive that resembled a fiery meteor, Yu Daoyun, deeply aware of the vast gap in soul power between them, decisively unleashed his fourth Soul Skill.

Dragon King Shield!

Pfft--!

Ma Xiaotao's strongest burst attack, just like Dai Yueheng's earlier, still had no effect.

In the face of absolute defense, all attacks appeared powerless.

But Ma Xiaotao's strength was greater, and the Dragon King Shield's duration was not as long.

Yu Daoyun reacted immediately, knowing he couldn't drag this out.

His fifth Soul Ring lit up, and terrifying airwaves swept through the arena, dragon roars echoing from all directions.

Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix was instantly suppressed, only hearing waves of dragon roars in her ears.

The next moment, Yu Daoyun transformed into a golden giant dragon, entering a pseudo-Martial Soul True Body state and launching a killing blow.

Golden Dragon Prison-Suppressing Kill!

This was his strongest single-target burst Soul Skill, a strike combining bloodline power and soul power.

Ma Xiaotao's pupils contracted, but she didn't choose to retreat. Her sixth Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and she shouted, "Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower."

Swish swish swish, a large number of fiery meteors were released from behind Ma Xiaotao.

These meteor showers were stronger and larger than Dai Yueheng's.

Ma Xiaotao herself was more than just a little stronger than Dai Yueheng; it was a dimensional crushing.

If not for the affliction of the Evil Fire, Ma Xiaotao could have become a Soul Sage before the age of eighteen.

However, as the countless fiery meteors collided with the Golden Dragon, they were all absorbed by the Dragon King Shield. Ma Xiaotao's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly retreated.

Soon, she was forced into a corner.

Yu Daoyun retracted his Soul Skill at this moment, his fist stopping before Ma Xiaotao's full chest, and he delivered a gentle punch.

"Mmmph..."

Ma Xiaotao let out a soft cry of pain, her face instantly turning as red as a small apple, with a hint of enjoyment.

But she quickly came to her senses and became furious, exclaiming coquettishly, "You scoundrel!!"
