Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 41, Number Sixteen on the Soul Beast Ranking: Dark Demon Evil God Tiger
"Although my Fiery Lion Martial Soul is a top-tier fire attribute Martial Soul, it has always been limited by the purity of its flames, preventing it from reaching its ultimate state. This Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is simply a tailor-made opportunity for me!"

He had cultivated for hundreds of years, but had been stuck at the level 97 bottleneck for a long time. The trace of impure flame hidden in his martial soul was the key obstacle preventing him from breaking through to a higher realm.

The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower can not only purify his fire attribute, but also help him break through his limitations, and may even allow him to reach the level 99 threshold.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Ranking has clearly stated that as long as one consumes it, one will be qualified to become a god.

After a long while, he glanced at Qian Xunji and said nothing more.

"Tianxing Academy is not to be trifled with. They are great figures at the level of creator gods. Moreover, I am now old and frail, and I may not even be able to defeat the Phoenix Sunflower itself."

……

On the training ground of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming was suddenly engulfed in raging flames, and a huge phantom of a fiery wolf appeared behind him, its eyes filled with fervor.

He clenched his fist tightly, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower... Ultimate Fire! My Blazing Wolf Martial Soul is strong, but it is always limited by its attribute. If I can obtain it, I can not only break through the bottleneck, but also completely transform my Martial Soul and become a true master of the fire path!"

Those around him, including Yu Tianheng, felt the surge of aura emanating from him and all showed expressions of awe.

Shi Mo asked cautiously, "Teacher Qin, the strength of Tianxing Academy is unfathomable. That Rooster-Crested Phoenix Sunflower is even comparable to a level 97 Title Douluo beast. What about us...?"

Qin Ming let out a long sigh. The raging fire around him had subsided, with only the lingering warmth in his palms remaining as proof of his excitement just now.

He gazed at the fading golden pillar of light in the sky, his burning passion replaced by deep helplessness, and his shoulders slumped involuntarily.

"With the combat power of a God-King, this Heavenly Path Academy is not one we can afford to provoke..."

He murmured to himself, the words "God King" like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing all his ambition and aspirations.

The phantom of the Fiery Wolf appeared and disappeared behind him, as if it could also sense its master's disappointment.

"Don't say that I'm just a Soul Emperor. Even a Title Douluo is nothing but an ant in front of a God King."

Qin Ming smiled bitterly. Let alone trying to snatch the Phoenix Sunflower, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the gates of Tianxing Academy before being crushed into dust by the aura of that mysterious senior, Li Tianyi.

"In the end, I was too naive."

Qin Ming gave a bitter smile, his eyes filled with resentment and helplessness.

……

...

Meanwhile, on the Shrek Academy's playground, Ma Hongjun roared at the sky, the phantom of the Evil Fire Phoenix behind him spreading its huge wings, the dark red flames surging and churning, yet faintly carrying a hint of restlessness.

"Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower! Ultimate Fire!" He scratched his head, his face full of eagerness and excitement.

"My Evil Fire Phoenix has always been troubled by evil fire. Every time I cultivate, I have to do that kind of thing to expel the evil fire. If I can swallow this thing, not only will I be able to completely eliminate the evil fire, but I can also evolve my Phoenix Martial Soul. Maybe I can even directly reserve a godhood!"

Oscar patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly, "Fatty, what are you thinking? That's a rare herb from Tianxing Academy, and it's also a 24-year-old ferocious beast. One of its fingers is more powerful than all of our academy combined. If you go up there, you'll just be offering yourself up as food!"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head, his eagerness and excitement vanishing completely, leaving only utter frustration.

"Little San, what do you think we should do about this? That's a God-King! With our strength, we wouldn't even be a match for him."

Tang San stood aside, looking at Ma Hongjun's dejected expression, and sighed.

“Fatty, I know you really want the Phoenix Sunflower, but the strength of Tianxing Academy far exceeds our imagination. The existence of a God King is something we cannot contend with at present. Let alone snatching it, even getting close is as difficult as ascending to heaven.” Ma Hongjun pouted and said unwillingly, “But that’s the only chance to get rid of my evil fire… are we just going to let it go like this?”

"We'll just have to forget about it."

Tang San shook his head, a hint of regret in his eyes.

"Our top priority right now is to increase our strength, not to provoke beings we cannot contend with. When we have enough strength, we may have a chance to witness the splendor of Tianxing Academy, but certainly not now."

Ma Hongjun fell silent. He knew Tang San was right, but the resentment in his heart was hard to quell.

He gazed out the window, as if he could see the Phoenix Sunflower burning with extreme fire in the Tianxing Academy's medicine garden, and a sense of melancholy washed over him.

Not only them, but countless forces and soul masters on the continent who coveted the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and the Extraordinary Chrysanthemum all extinguished their greed when they thought of the God King of Tianxing Academy.

The might of the God-King was like an insurmountable mountain, standing in front of everyone, leaving them only able to look on in awe and hesitate.

Inside the Tianxing Academy's medicinal garden, the woman in the fiery red dress, who had transformed into the Rooster Crest Phoenix Sunflower, seemed to sense the unusual activity on the continent, and a faint sneer appeared on her lips.

"You think you can take advantage of me?"

She spoke softly, the crimson-gold flames around her flickering slightly, carrying a hint of disdain.

A golden beam of light, even more dazzling than the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, descended from the sky and enveloped her directly.

The woman slowly closed her eyes, feeling the immense energy contained within the pillar of light, a cool smile curving her lips.

"finally come."

The energy from the pillar of light continuously flowed into her body, and her lifespan of 24 years began to increase wildly.

The flames around him gradually turned from gold to a dazzling crimson gold, and the temperature soared instantly. The surrounding air was scorched and distorted, and the pebbles on the ground turned into glass.

Her aura rose at a visible speed, steadily breaking through from 24 years to 28 years. Her bones made a crisp "crackling" sound, and the ultimate fire attribute within her body became increasingly pure.

"The lifespan has increased by 40,000 years, and the flame intensity has increased by 15%..." The woman slowly opened her eyes, her pupils pulsating with crimson-gold flames that seemed capable of burning everything.

She gently raised her hand, and a ball of crimson-gold flame condensed in her palm. The flame seemed weak, but it contained terrifying power, and the surrounding space was scorched with tiny cracks.

"Now, I can even fight against a level 98 Title Douluo."

Her voice was clear and crisp, like jade striking each other, with a touch of languor yet an undeniable strength.

"Thank you for your guidance, Dean."

Li Tianyi waved his hand dismissively.

"As long as the people in the academy can become stronger, my resources will not have been wasted."

As soon as Li Tianyi finished speaking, the next ranking on the Soul Beast Ranking reappeared without warning.
