"One move!"
"He neutralized every attack from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team with just one move!"
"That was a combined attack from seven people!"
"Just what kind of monster is this Chen Jin?"
On Shrek Academy's side.
Tang San watched the scene, his fists clenched.
The look in his eyes shifted uncertainly.
He had thought that after Chen Jin left Shrek, without Grandmaster's guidance, he was destined to sink into mediocrity.
He had never expected that not only had Chen Jin survived the Gobi, but he had also gained such a terrifying martial soul and soul skill.
Level thirty-seven soul power.
Yet single-handedly, he could suppress the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, which possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Jade Phosphorous Serpent, and Black Tortoise.
Such strength had already far surpassed Tang San's.
Tang San was only in the thirties himself. Had he been in Chen Jin's place, he absolutely could not have accomplished this.
The immense disparity stirred jealousy and resentment in Tang San's heart.
What exactly is Chen Jin's martial soul...?
Why does it possess such a terrifying fire attribute?
Tang San silently weighed things in his mind, a shadow flashing through his eyes.
Ma Hongjun stood frozen in place.
His gloating smile stiffened on his face.
As he watched the golden flames filling the sky, the remnants of the evil fire martial soul within him actually trembled.
It was the absolute suppression of a lower martial soul by a higher one.
"This... this is impossible..."
Ma Hongjun muttered to himself, his eyes filled with terror.
Once, Chen Jin had possessed the Evil Fire Phoenix too.
Now, however, Chen Jin's flames were incomparably sacred, leaving Ma Hongjun unable even to summon the thought of resisting.
Zhu Zhuqing watched that figure clad in white brighter than snow, an unusual gleam rising in her beautiful eyes.
Chen Jin, you really did it.
Staying true to your heart-is this the path you chose?
Zhu Zhuqing thought silently, heartfelt joy lifting the corners of her lips.
In the VIP seats.
Astonishment filled Xue Qinghe's clear eyes to the utmost.
"Ultimate fire. This is definitely ultimate fire."
"These flames also contain the sacred power of light."
"When did Blazing Fire Academy recruit such a peerless genius?"
Xue Qinghe's gaze locked onto Chen Jin.
Beside him, Ning Fengzhi rose to his feet without realizing it.
Watching that expanse of golden flames, Ning Fengzhi sighed softly.
"What a fierce soul skill."
"Like a true inferno. Within it, all energy faces the flames' merciless scorching."
"This power already approaches the ultimate."
Bishop Salas, standing nearby, likewise fixed his sinister eyes on Chen Jin.
There was no telling what he was scheming.
On the arena platform.
The temperature within the sea of flames continued to rise.
Yu Tianheng knelt on one knee, his entire body charred black and drenched in sweat.
With the flames devouring his soul power, barely any remained within him.
Watching his teammates fall one after another beside him, his resentment and humiliation reached their peak.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cannot lose so disgracefully!
Yu Tianheng's furious roar echoed across the platform.
"Chen Jin!"
Enduring the excruciating pain coursing through his meridians, he squeezed out every last trace of soul power within him.
The dragon scales on his right arm shattered inch by inch at that moment, blood staining the lightning red.
His fourth, purple soul ring erupted with dazzling light.
Accompanied by a thunderous shout.
"Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Rush!"
At the center of the platform.
The extreme heat violently distorted the air.
Yu Tianheng knelt on the scalding ground, large patches of scales splitting apart on his dragon-transformed right arm.
Blood dripped from his fingertips, instantly evaporating into nothing before it could touch the ground.
The pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan weighed heavily on his shoulders at that moment.
I cannot lose.
I absolutely cannot lose to an unknown opponent.
Yu Tianheng's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, veins bulging across his forehead like tiny blue snakes.
Two purple soul rings spun rapidly around him, moving so fast that they merged into a dazzling purple glow.
They were his third and fourth soul rings.
Lightning gathered on his dragon-transformed right arm, the blue arcs actually taking on an eerie purplish-black hue.
Crackle, crackle.
The thunderous crackling rang out without end.
An intense draconic might spread outward in a ring in every direction, with Yu Tianheng at its center.
The spectators in the stands paled, even finding it difficult to breathe.
"That's his fourth soul skill!"
"Yu Tianheng has actually been pushed this far!"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's trump card is coming out!"
Voices of discussion swept over the arena.
In Shrek Academy's rest area.
Tang San stared at the platform, his gaze settling on Yu Tianheng's right arm, which had swollen to nearly twice its girth.
The power of a fourth soul skill was definitely not something an ordinary Soul Elder could withstand.
Even Chen Jin, with his ultimate fire, would surely have to pay a price in the face of an absolute disparity in soul power.
Tang San was certain of it.
Ma Hongjun, meanwhile, wore a face full of gloating, delight written all over his chubby features.
"Arrogant fool! You've kicked an iron plate this time!"
"Yu Tianheng's move will definitely blast that conceited bastard into charcoal!"
Ma Hongjun's voice echoed through Shrek's area.
Zhu Zhuqing ignored the voices around her, her beautiful eyes fixed on that white-robed figure.
Her hands unconsciously clasped together, her knuckles tightening with force.
You have to block it.
Zhu Zhuqing prayed silently.
Yu Tianheng let out a furious roar.
Purplish-black lightning condensed before him, gradually taking the form of a savage-looking giant lightning dragon.
The lightning dragon bore fearsome scales and armor, thunderous breath spewing from its mouth.
"Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Rush!"
With that thunderous shout.
The giant lightning dragon unleashed a deafening roar and, with the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, became a streak of purplish-black light that shot straight toward Chen Jin.
It was too fast.
Wherever the giant lightning dragon passed, the air was instantly torn apart, leaving a pitch-black vacuum trail.
A strong smell of ozone filled the air.
Before the spectators in the stands could even blink, that savage lightning dragon had already charged up to Chen Jin.
"With that speed and power, an ordinary Soul Ancestor would probably be smashed to pieces on the spot if they took it head-on!"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's fourth soul skill truly lives up to its reputation!"
Some members of the competing academies nearby turned deathly pale and instinctively stepped back.
It was too powerful.
An attack of this level was simply beyond what anyone their age could contend with.
Many had already sentenced Chen Jin to death in their hearts.
Chen Jin definitely cannot block this move.
And yet.
Before that giant lightning dragon with its bloody maw spread wide.
Chen Jin's expression remained as calm as still water.
His white robes snapped in the lightning-laden wind, yet even their hems remained unruffled.
Facing this ultimate move capable of severely injuring a Soul Ancestor, Chen Jin merely raised his right hand unhurriedly.
His five fingers slowly curled, forming a claw in midair.
"Fierce though lightning may be, how could it rival the radiance of the Divine Phoenix's fire?"
Chen Jin murmured softly to himself.
Then.
"Phoenix Claw."
Those two words drifted lightly from Chen Jin's mouth.
The golden sea of flames raging across the platform seemed to receive some sacred summons.
Countless golden flames gathered in Chen Jin's palm, forming an enormous vortex of golden fire.
The extreme heat made the air throughout the entire Great Soul Arena unbearably scorching.
With every breath, the spectators felt as though their lungs were being scorched by raging flames, while waves of stinging pain spread across their skin.
