Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 24: Ma Xiaotao's Stubbornness
Before he knew it, Lu Jingming had been in this world for eight years.

During these eight years, he gradually discovered some of his "true authority."

When he first traveled to this world, his inherent power of truth was completely consumed by the manifestation of the mirror flow.

The real power he gained later came from the various influences he and Jingliu had on the world, and thus received "real" feedback.

Simply put, no matter whether it is himself or the character he manifests, the greater the impact they have on the world, the more real power he can gain.

In the past few years, the one who provided him with the most real power was neither the powerful Jing Liu nor Chang Li who controlled Haiyuan City, but Heita, who was like a homebody and seldom went out.

This is because some of the soul guides produced by Black Tower, which were abandoned by her, were sold by Lu Jingming, triggering a series of chain reactions on the Douluo Continent, and all these impacts were attributed to Black Tower.

Therefore, Ms. Black Tower is undoubtedly Lu Jingming's current greatest source of real power.

"I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you Xiaotao. Don't worry, I will suppress my soul power level to the same level as yours. Let's fight fairly."

Although Zhang Lexuan didn't like Ma Xiaotao's attitude towards Lu Jingming, she was kind-hearted and wouldn't really bully the weak.

At this moment, she stated seriously that she would suppress her strength and prepare to have a fair and just battle of spirits with Ma Xiaotao.

"Hehe, I don't need you to show mercy. It's not like I haven't defeated people who are older than me before." Ma Xiaotao was full of confidence, with her chin slightly raised and a proud glint in her eyes.

In Shrek Academy, her talent was among the top. Among her peers, no one could be her match. Even students who were a few years older than her were defeated by her many times.

Because of this, she has become famous in Shrek Academy at such a young age and is nicknamed "Fire Devil".

You know, Shrek Academy is recognized as the best academy in the continent and a holy place where countless geniuses gather.

Being able to stand out among such a large number of masters is enough to prove that Ma Xiaotao is a well-deserved top talent in the entire Douluo Continent.

"Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao, Martial Soul Evil Fire Phoenix, 41st level Strong Attack System Battle Soul Sect."

Ma Xiaotao put one hand on her waist, looking cool and handsome, and snapped her fingers crisply. A bright red flame instantly ignited the surrounding air, making a light "puff" sound.

Then, two yellow and two purple, a total of four soul rings slowly emerged from under her feet, arranged in an orderly manner, emitting powerful soul power fluctuations.

This is exactly the best soul ring ratio that soul masters on Douluo Continent dream of, demonstrating Ma Xiaotao's solid foundation of strength.

In the fighting arenas of Douluo Continent, there has always been an unwritten rule, that is, before the battle begins, both sides must announce their names, martial spirits, and soul power levels.

After all, fighting spirits is essentially a competitive activity, not a life-and-death battle, so naturally these basic rules must be observed.

Zhang Lexuan's expression remained calm, and her cool voice drifted into Ma Xiaotao's ears like a gentle breeze: "Saint Freya Academy, Zhang Lexuan, martial soul Silver Moon, level 68 Strong Attack System Battle Soul Emperor." In Ma Xiaotao's gradually dilating pupils, a bright silver moon was seen rising slowly, emitting a soft and holy light.

At the same time, two yellow, two purple, and two black, a total of six soul rings shone from under Zhang Lexuan's feet. Each soul ring was flowing with powerful soul power fluctuations, intertwined together, forming a heart-pounding force.

This force created a violent gust of air, which swept across with a roar, causing Zhang Lexuan's inky black hair to fly wildly, like a lively and shocking painting.

Under the pouring silver moonlight, Zhang Lexuan at this moment was like a moon goddess who had descended to the earth, emitting an otherworldly beauty that was breathtaking and intoxicating.

The cool temperament, contrasting with the silver moon emitting soft light, adds a bit of mystery and nobility.

Ma Xiaotao subconsciously pursed her dry lips, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

She secretly groaned in her heart, feeling as if she had kicked a piece of extremely hard steel plate.

You know, in a place like Shrek Academy where there are so many geniuses, at the age of seventeen, most of the inner court disciples, even those who are extremely talented and attract much attention, have just reached the Soul King level.

Only a very small number of top geniuses can break through to the Soul Emperor realm.

And someone like Zhang Lexuan in front of him has actually reached the soul power level of 68. There is probably no other person like her in the entire Shrek Academy.

Although Ma Xiaotao was extremely confident in her talent and firmly believed that she could break through to the Soul Emperor realm at the age of seventeen, she knew very well in her heart that it was absolutely impossible for her to reach such a terrifying height as level sixty-eight.

After all, for soul masters, the more time passes, the more difficult it becomes to improve their cultivation, and every step forward requires unimaginable effort and cost.

Moreover, the powerful aura and perfect soul ring combination that she felt from Zhang Lexuan could not be achieved by taking drugs or other means. It was real powerful strength.

"The Soul Emperor is so amazing! I will beat him up anyway." Although she felt a little timid inside, Ma Xiaotao's stubborn character that refused to admit defeat made her still very tough.

Even though she was aware of the difficulty of this battle, she still pretended to be fearless and unyielding on the surface.

Zhang Lexuan easily saw through Ma Xiaotao's bluff. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She said gently, "As I said at the beginning, I will only use the first four soul skills and suppress my own soul power level. Although this is not absolutely fair, you should not mind, right?"

"Heh, in a battle of the same level, this girl has never been afraid of anyone."

Although Ma Xiaotao spoke tough, she did not brazenly say as before that she did not need the other party to show mercy.

She is not an ignorant fool. If Zhang Lexuan really goes all out, the powerful soul suppression alone will be enough to make her suffer.

Seeing that the two were ready to fight, Lu Jingming pulled Keqing to sit under a parasol on the beach. Snacks and drinks were available. It was obvious that the two were ready to watch the show, looking like spectators.
