Suppression! Attribute Fusion Skill! Ma Xiaotao's Darkening

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

That blow cast an oppressive mood over Ma Xiaotao and everyone on Shrek's side.

At this point, the eight attributes Lin Yuan had displayed were already monstrous enough.

And now, these two powers could even be fused?

That could no longer be described as defying the heavens. He could only be called an ultimate freak.

If Lin Yuan had heard that thought, he would have merely shrugged. His soul skill was called Yin-Yang Dual Escape.

How could its attributes possibly not be fused?

As for Ma Xiaotao, her expression had turned utterly ugly.

If she had merely been blocked, she could still have gritted her teeth and accepted it. But she had actually been forced back?

Though her injuries were only minor.

There was still a gap of more than ten soul power ranks between them.

She had thought she held absolute control over the battlefield, yet Lin Yuan was still able to resist—and had even driven her back?

"You've really made me angry."

After laughing in fury, Ma Xiaotao's ring flashed abruptly and transformed into a bright yellow blade adorned with a tiger's head.

Tyrant Tiger Hellblade!

It was precisely the Class 8 close-combat soul tool Dai Yueheng had purchased earlier.

Ma Xiaotao had originally thought this would be the decisive strike she would use only in the final battle.

But now, it had become a measure she had no choice but to use.

Gripping the Tyrant Tiger Hellblade, Ma Xiaotao violently flapped her phoenix wings.

Boom!

The power of that blade light approached that of a Soul Sage.

Huang Jinxu's heart leaped into his throat.

He still felt dazed. He had assumed this battle would end quickly, considering Ma Xiaotao's strength.

But now it seemed that, relying on his absolute skill set,

Lin Yuan had actually fought the acknowledged number one, Ma Xiaotao—whose strength was already nearing that of a Soul Sage—to this extent.

If he failed to intervene in time and something happened to the geniuses on either side—

The consequences would be unimaginable!

Lin Yuan casually summoned the Heavy Xu Earth again, forming it into a barrier. But this time,

before the absolute gap in soul power, the Heavy Xu Earth barrier only endured for an instant.

Yet Lin Yuan himself was already no longer standing where he had been.

What a joke. He had blocked earlier only to show off his numbers; it was not as if he could not move.

As his figure flickered,

Lin Yuan's soul ring flashed, and the Nine Nether Kui Water instantly fused with the Yimu Vines.

Yimu Kui Water Spear!

The fusion formed a spear, which Lin Yuan hurled straight at her.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao gripped the Tyrant Tiger Hellblade and was just about to casually slash it apart. Yet she discovered that the Yimu Vines were like a venomous snake, coiling around her body. They corroded her soul power and even caused the Tyrant Tiger Hellblade to flicker faintly.

It seemed it could not even be activated properly?

Combined with the Kui Water's freezing effect on her soul power and its attribute suppression, as well as the Yimu Vines' natural erosion of her soul power,

it was a perfect barrage of negative effects.

Xuanzi's expression darkened to the extreme, and he felt somewhat dazed.

He had thought the fusion of Yin-Yang single attributes was already Lin Yuan's trump card.

Yet Lin Yuan could now fuse attributes across different elements.

Damn it, aside from his slightly lower cultivation, what fucking weakness did this guy even have?

While Xuanzi racked his brain and failed to think of one,

Wang Yan's expression, along with those on Shrek Academy's side, turned equally grim.

Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao could only urgently use her violent phoenix flames to break free.

Fire generates earth!

Seeing this, Lin Yuan had already summoned Jitu Earth into a bow, with Nether Ding Fire coating it.

Jitu Ding Fire Arrow!

It shot straight toward Ma Xiaotao.

Whoosh!

The Nether Ding Fire arrow flew out!

Although Ma Xiaotao was doing her best to control the dual assault battering her, she was still a beat too slow.

After being struck by the Nether Ding Fire, Ma Xiaotao's already violent and impulsive nature was affected by its spiritual attack.

She dropped directly to her knees. Combined with the Jitu Earth turning into a swamp that restricted her movements, the soul power fluctuations around her became increasingly chaotic.

Lin Yuan charged forward as well, summoning the Yimu Kui Water Spear once more.

He prepared to take the opportunity to finish Ma Xiaotao directly.

But at that moment, Lin Yuan inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

As for Ma Xiaotao, she was suffering a spiritual attack, her body was restrained, and traces of the previous negative effects still lingered on her. In her extreme weakness, as she looked at herself seemingly about to lose,

she could not help questioning herself.

"Am I going to lose? Is Shrek going to lose?"

"I won't lose to a Soul Ancestor. Shrek's glory cannot be defiled!"

"Ahhh!"

At that moment, accompanied by Ma Xiaotao's furious roar,

the phoenix flames around her instantly changed from purple to black. All the negative effects were burned away beneath the cleansing flames of the Dark Phoenix!

At that moment, as Ma Xiaotao actively embraced the dark evil fire, her soul power directly broke through to Rank 70!

It was a completely black phoenix. Compared with the original Evil Fire Phoenix, it was even somewhat smaller.

Yet from its ink-black body radiated an abyss-like, terrifying aura. Especially its deep purple eyes, which were filled with madness and bloodlust.

Ink-black flames suddenly erupted from Ma Xiaotao's back once more, forming a pair of wings!

This sight left everyone utterly stunned.

Xuanzi instinctively stood up, his face turning incomparably ugly.

"Not good! Xiaotao has darkened!"

At this moment, Xuanzi's feelings were incredibly complicated.

Ma Xiaotao's darkening was absolutely not a good thing, but she could win?

And perhaps, while he suppressed her, she might even be able to use this chance to eliminate Lin Yuan.

If he then found a way to resolve the current situation, perhaps it could still count as a good thing?

With that thought, Xuanzi's somewhat anxious emotions instead calmed down.

On the arena.

For the first time, Lin Yuan's expression turned somewhat grim.

Good grief, was Ma Xiaotao's darkening somehow destined to happen?

His Nether Ding Fire could at most launch a spiritual attack.

Yet Haji Tao had actually been triggered.

Jing Hongchen's expression was ugly as he even sent Lin Yuan a voice transmission.

"Lin Yuan, concede. You have already proven that you are the greatest genius of this era."

That was right. After what he had displayed just now, who would dare claim Lin Yuan was not the greatest genius of this era?

And now, after embracing the evil fire, Ma Xiaotao had transformed it into the Ultimate Dark Phoenix Flame.

Even a Soul Douluo might not be able to defeat Ma Xiaotao in her current state.

Naturally, he did not wish to see this genius of the Sun Moon Empire perish here.

Lin Yuan merely tilted his head slightly, looked at Jing Hongchen, and shook his head.

Then he looked at the darkened Ma Xiaotao, and a trace of fighting spirit rose in his eyes instead.

"Darkening is your trump card?"

"But who ever told you that I don't have a trump card?"
