So what if he is the eldest son of the Star Luo White Tiger Duke Mansion?
He is nothing more than a stray dog who has lost his royal status!
Besides, who here doesn't have a background of their own?
He had never been one to indulge those destined to be enemies, especially those with no value to be courted.
The key point was that this brat had coveted his fiancée even after being beaten black and blue several times.
It was truly infuriating.
"Sister Guyi, if you find it difficult to strike against your fiancé, I can handle both of them by myself."
Ma Xiaotao looked at Ye Guyi beside her and spoke. She was a combat junkie; the mere mention of a fight made her entire being instantly exhilarated.
"No need, I will deal with Dai Yueheng."
Ye Guyi flatly rejected Ma Xiaotao's proposal. She was truly fed up with Dai Yueheng's persistent pestering.
She decided to take this opportunity to give him a lesson he would never forget.
As for A-Que, she was not worried about him at all.
Although Ma Xiaotao was a Soul Emperor and A-Que was only a Soul Ancestor, it was not certain who would win if they truly fought.
"The first two-on-two match, begin!"
"Both sides, take the stage!"
As Zhang Lexuan's voice fell, Ning Que and the others walked onto the competition platform.
"Ma Xiaotao, Martial Soul Evil Fire Phoenix, Level 66 Assault System Battle Soul Emperor!"
"Ye Guyi, Martial Soul Holy Angel, Level 58 Assault System Battle Soul King!"
Immediately, the two activated their Martial Soul Possession and displayed their soul rings.
Ma Xiaotao's soul rings were the standard optimal configuration; although dazzling, they were not enough to make people feel surprised.
Ye Guyi, however, was completely different.
Five soul rings appeared in succession: purple, purple, black, black, black!
A thousand-year first soul ring, a thousand-year second soul ring, a ten-thousand-year third soul ring, a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, and a ten-thousand-year fifth soul ring.
Even though the people here had seen such a soul ring configuration more than once, they were still shocked and found it unbelievable.
That Ye Guyi could possess such a soul ring configuration was naturally inseparable from Ning Que's help and the fusion of god-level soul bones.
If it weren't for the fact that fusing all the god-level soul bones required soul power and mental strength to support, Ning Que would have even wanted Ye Guyi to fully fuse the soul bones before absorbing the soul rings, aiming for at least a ten-thousand-year first soul ring.
"Every time I see it, I find it stunning!"
"Compared to her, what kind of monsters are we?"
"It's absurd. I seriously suspect he wants to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring for his seventh."
The other inner court disciples saw this and sighed with endless emotion.
It was not as if no one had tried to rely on their family backgrounds to investigate the reason for Ye Guyi's strength, but those families no longer existed.
"Such a genius should remain in our Shrek Academy."
Xuan Zi, who was watching the battle from the side, looked at the soul rings Ye Guyi displayed. His gaze was burning, and at the thought of this, he felt some resentment toward Yan Shaozhe. So much time had passed, and he still hadn't completely recruited her into Shrek Academy; it was truly disappointing.
"Dai Yueheng, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 62 Battle Soul Emperor!"
Facing the pressure exerted by Ye Guyi and Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng gritted his teeth and revealed his soul rings.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!
It was still the optimal configuration.
"Ning Que, Martial Soul Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, Soul Power Level 48."
Ning Que then displayed his Martial Soul and soul rings.
Yellow, purple, purple, black!
If not for Ye Guyi being there first, the soul rings he was currently displaying would have been enough to shock everyone.
The most important thing was not his soul rings or his strength, but his Martial Soul.
Although they called themselves the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, since ten thousand years ago, apart from the Nine-Colored Goddess, no one in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had ever possessed the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul.
But at this moment, Ning Que had broken that precedent; his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul had an extra layer.
Although it had not yet fully solidified, it already had the phantom of an eighth layer.
The reason for such an effect was naturally due to the soul bones and the requirements for absorbing soul rings.
As for why he didn't absorb a thousand-year first soul ring, Ning Que really didn't want to answer that question.
Back then, he had tried it rashly, and if it weren't for a Titled Douluo watching from the side, he would have nearly ruined himself.
The physical enhancement provided by an auxiliary-type Martial Soul was simply too small.
Can a level 48 support Soul Master defeat a level 66 assault-type Soul Master?
In history, such an absurd thing had never occurred.
But today, Ning Que wanted to give it a try, because his opponent was a brainless brute!
As the battle began, Ye Guyi charged straight at Dai Yueheng with her sword.
Ning Que stood in confrontation with Ma Xiaotao.
"Little Brother Ning Que, are you sure you want to fight me?"
Ma Xiaotao looked at Ning Que opposite her, her face full of disbelief.
The gap in combat power between them could be described as the difference between clouds and mud without the slightest exaggeration.
She truly did not know what Ning Que was relying on to stand here.
Whether in the Inner Court sparring matches or the Soul Master Tournament, Soul Masters were forbidden from using fixed-shell Soul Tools, and other Soul Tools relied on the Soul Master's own strength; thus, what could possibly harm her?
It was no exaggeration to say that even if she, Ma Xiaotao, just stood there and let Ning Que attack, he might not even be able to cause her any damage.
Ning Que remained silent, merely taking various Soul Tools out of his storage Soul Tool one after another.
Level 5 Soul Tool, Spirit-Locking Pulse-Binding Ring.
Level 6 Soul Cannon, Extreme Cold Flame-Devouring Cannon.
As soul power was injected, the two bracelets on Ning Que's wrists lit up.
Poised and ready.
"Fine, Big Sister will play along with you."
Seeing the determined look in Ning Que's eyes, Ma Xiaotao also became interested; the battle between Dai Yueheng and Ye Guyi on the other side was simply too intense, igniting her own spirit.
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line..."
Just as Ma Xiaotao's first soul ring lit up, Ning Que had already activated his level 5 Soul Tool, the Spirit-Locking Pulse-Binding Ring.
The Spirit-Locking Pulse-Binding Ring was primarily forged from Star-Patterned Steel, with three rhombic Lingxi Crystals embedded as its core, and its surface inscribed with three interwoven suppression arrays: the Gravity Binding Array, the Soul Power Disruption Array, and the Mental Obscuration Array.
It required a Soul Master of 4 rings or higher to inject soul power, with a single activation consuming 30% of one's own energy; the suppression duration against a Soul King lasted up to 10 seconds, and against a Soul Emperor, it could reach 6 seconds.
As the Spirit-Locking Pulse-Binding Ring was activated, Ma Xiaotao instantly felt all sorts of discomfort.
Her soul power was in chaos, her mind was suppressed, and her body felt incredibly heavy.
The sudden change interrupted the soul skill she was about to unleash, making it impossible for her to react to the enemy in the first instance.
The timing was seized with absolute precision.
For Ning Que, this was the moment!
Consequently, the level 6 Soul Cannon, the Extreme Cold Flame-Devouring Cannon, had already been activated.
The Extreme Cold Flame-Devouring Cannon was 1.2 meters long, forged from a mixture of Deep Sea Sunken Silver and Ice Extreme Jade, with spiral cold-conduction patterns inscribed inside the barrel and three thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion Cores embedded at the rear as an energy source.
Under normal circumstances, only Soul Masters at the Soul King level or above could activate it, with a single injection of energy consuming 60% of one's own soul power; with Ning Que's current strength, he should not have been able to activate it at all.
But just as the battle had begun, he had already utilized the Ring Fusion Secret Technique.
