The Great Battle
From the moment that towering blood-red light rose, the combat power of the Evil Soul Master present increased exponentially. The Shrek Inspection Corps and the Star Luo Empire, which had originally been able to suppress them, began to subtly fall into a disadvantageous position.
Seeing this Xuan Zi, who was guarding the Outer Court students, also sensed something was wrong and wondered, "What kind of method is this? How can the power of these Evil Soul Master increase so quickly? What exactly is this bloody light?"
Unfortunately, no one could answer Xuan Zi's question, and at that very moment, the Evil Soul Master began their counterattack.
They began to use all their means to drive the Shrek Inspection Corps, which had initially had the upper hand, into a retreat. Zhang Lexuan, as their leader, wanted to retreat first, since they had already successfully evacuated the refugees with the help of the students from the Outer Court and the Star Luo Empire Army. If they got entangled with them now, they might end up being wiped out.
However, just as she was about to give the order, two Evil Soul Master at the Soul Saint level began to entangle with Zhang Lexuan.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lexuan realized that the two Evil Soul Master seemed to be two of the three leaders mentioned in the intelligence. Their names were unknown, but their Martial Soul appeared to be the Illusory Demon Flower and the Bloodthirsty Bat.
Normally, with Zhang Lexuan's strength approaching that of Titled Douluo, defeating two Soul Saint would be no problem at all, but these are two Evil Soul Master at the Soul Saint level!
Putting aside the issue of their enhancements, even without those enhancements, the Evil Soul Master already possessed extraordinary ability to fight beyond their level, and they were still able to restrain Zhang Lexuan, who had cultivation levels approaching those of Titled Douluo.
The two Evil Soul Master, amplified by the blood light, were now nearly indistinguishable from Soul Douluo in strength. It was truly remarkable that Zhang Lexuan could fight them alone under such circumstances.
Upon seeing that Zhang Lexuan was being restrained, Xuan Zi immediately instructed the Inner Court students in charge of proctoring the exam to take away the Outer Court students, and then let the remaining Inner Court students handle the attack.
He himself intended to help Zhang Lexuan deal with those Evil Soul Master, but just as he was about to make his move, a figure blocked Xuan Zi's path.
It was a pitch-black Phoenix. Although it was Phoenix, it did not have the nobility that Phoenix should have. Instead, it had a strong sense of evil, and there were nine Soul Ring around it.
The Seventh Soul Ring, belonging to the Soul Ring of the Martial Soul Avatar, was shining brightly, proving that the Phoenix before them was a person's Martial Soul Avatar.
The so-called Martial Soul Avatar is
Upon seeing this, Xuan Zi immediately recognized the Martial Soul before him and exclaimed in surprise, "This is the Evil Phoenix Martial Soul! You are Feng Ling! You have actually broken through to the Titled Douluo!"
The woman called Feng Ling did not reply to Xuan Zi. Instead, after a moment of silence, she began her own offensive. Her black Eighth Soul Ring glowed, and then her eighth Soul Skill, Darkness Devouring Domain, was activated.
A black domain covering a square of hundreds of meters isolated Xuan Zi from the rest of Shrek, while Xuan Zi, inside the domain, could feel a force devouring his Soul Power and Spiritual Power.
In response, Xuan Zi immediately released his Martial Soul, the Godly Taotie Bull. A surge of dark yellow Soul Power isolated him from the domain's erosion, and at the same time, Xuan Zi's nine Soul Ring began to appear.
Xuan Zi truly never expected that after so many years, Feng Ling would actually break through to the level of Titled Douluo!
It's important to know that while Evil Soul Master can cultivate faster than most Soul Master in the early stages, the excessive killing they require in the later stages makes them easy targets for the Shrek Inspection Corps or the armies of various countries, who can then hunt them down.
Therefore, it is rare to encounter Evil Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level on the mainland, since the amount of killing required to break through to the Titled Douluo is immeasurable.
What Xuan Zi found most unbelievable was that Feng Ling was already a Level 95 Super Douluo!
A Super Douluo- level Evil Soul Master is someone who must be eliminated no matter where they go!
This reminded Elder Xuan of Zhang Peng, the half-evil soul master and Scorpion Tiger Douluo. Although he was only a half-evil soul master who could only devour the power of soul beasts to cultivate, even Elder Mu at the time could not easily kill him. He could only force him to never be reborn.
Now that Feng Ling, a pure Evil Soul Master, has reached the level of Super Douluo, how terrifying will her combat power be?
This doesn't even take into account the amplification effect of the blood-red light on Feng Ling. If Xuan Zi hadn't already reached the cultivation level of a Level 98 Super Douluo, he really wouldn't have much confidence in fighting against Feng Ling.
He couldn't help but complain pessimistically, "Why do these kinds of problems always arise every time I lead a team?"
Once, Xuan Zi led the Inner Court students to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt suitable Soul Beast for them to obtain the most suitable Soul Ring. However, due to the flaw in his Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul, he had to eat constantly.
During the meal, Xuan Zi accidentally got separated from the students, which led to their later encounter with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
In that battle, the elite team that originally consisted of more than ten people was reduced to only five or six. Among them was Zhang Lexuan, who also broke through to the Soul Douluo level in that battle. Her eighth ring was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from back then.
After that incident, Xuan Zi was in a state of shock, which meant he intended to directly dismiss Shrek Inspection Corps and his seat in the Sea God Pavilion. If Zhang Lexuan hadn't knelt there for so long, he wouldn't still be in his current position.
Now, Xuan Zi can only focus on fighting Feng Ling and hope that there won't be any problems with Zhang Lexuan. His guilt towards Zhang Lexuan and the students from that round has never faded.
Thinking of this, Xuan Zi released his Martial Soul Avatar, and a figure with a sheep's body, human face, tiger's teeth, human hands, ox hooves, and ox horns replaced Xuan Zi's figure.
That is the Martial Soul Avatar the Godly Taotie Bull's martial spirit, the martial spirit of an Earth Dragon King who possesses the Martial Soul of one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan.
In the Douluo Universe, Taotie is a mutated direct descendant of the Earth Dragon King, possessing the ability to devour all things. Even Di Tian, the grandson of the first Black Dragon King, can suppress those who possess its bloodline power.
However, Xuan Zi's Martial Soul contained impurities, making it merely a simple Godly Taotie Bull. Although its combat Martial Soul was outstanding due to the presence of the Dragon King's bloodline, it could not suppress the bloodline power of Di Tian, the strongest person on the continent.
Now, Xuan Zi has decided to release his Martial Soul Avatar in order to end the battle quickly. In the previous few exchanges, Xuan Zi found that Feng Ling's combat experience was not very rich.
Therefore, with his extensive combat experience, defeating her wasn't too difficult for him; at most, the blood-red aura made her a bit more challenging to deal with.
Therefore, in order to help the other students as soon as possible Xuan Zi plans to use all his strength to defeat the enemy, then lead the remaining students to escape from this place, and then wait for reinforcements from the academy to completely eliminate these bastards!
