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

Chapter 96: Listed
The pillar of light did not contain the gentle energy that Xue Ke possessed, but rather extremely pure and violent fire-attribute energy!
"Ok!"

Huo Wu let out a muffled groan, but her eyes suddenly became sharp as knives. Instead of resisting, she opened her body and mind to absorb the powerful energy that perfectly matched her attributes!

Rumble——!
The soul power that was originally running smoothly in her body suddenly boiled and surged as if it had been thrown into boiling magma!
The bottleneck of level 44 was easily torn apart like paper, and the soul power level climbed upwards at an astonishing speed:
Level 45!
Level 46!
Level 47!
Level 48!
Level 49!
Level 50! ! !
She crossed the threshold of Soul King in one step! Moreover, her foundation was exceptionally solid and stable. The crimson-gold energy seemed to contain the imprint of some kind of fire law, which raised her control over soul power and her understanding of fire elements to more than one level.

At the same time, the illusory image of her martial spirit underwent a tremendous change.

The originally agile and leaping, but slightly illusory and blurry "fire shadow" rapidly solidified, expanded, and transformed under the infusion of crimson-gold energy!
The illusory outline of the fire spirit became clear, transforming into a magnificent and noble fire bird!
It resembles a phoenix, but is more slender and agile, its entire body covered with crimson-gold feathers, each feather seemingly carved from the purest flame crystals, with edges flowing with a molten gold-like luster.

It has seven tail feathers, long and flowing, trailing trails of seven-colored flames.

With its wings spread wide, it blots out the sky, as if a gentle flap could ignite a city in flames.

Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix!

The king of flames, the overlord of the sky!
The high-pitched and clear sound of the phoenix's cry resounded throughout the Blazing Fire Academy and even spread throughout the entire city.

Accompanied by the phoenix's cry, a noble, intense, and seemingly all-consuming pressure spread out, causing all the fire-attribute soul masters in the academy to feel their martial souls tremble and worship!

Huo Wu felt the surging, magma-like soul power within her body, and the noble and powerful Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix Martial Soul behind her; her excitement was beyond words.

But the surprises are far from over.

The instant her martial soul evolution was complete, something deep within her soul seemed to be ignited.

A profound and mysterious realization welled up in her mind, and her perception and control over the surrounding fire element reached a whole new level.

With a thought, the air within a fifty-meter radius of her body suddenly became scorching, viscous, and heavy!
A crimson-gold light spread out from beneath her feet, quickly outlining a complex and mysterious array of fire runes.

Within the array, the fire element became exceptionally active and tamed, while her own aura surged wildly, as if resonating with the fire laws of this world.

Burning Heaven Realm!

The Vulcan Domain is taking shape!

Although the range was still small and the power was far from reaching the level of a true divine realm, the absolute control over the environment, the terrifying amplification of one's own strength, and the natural suppression of enemies made Huo Wu instantly understand the terrifying value of this reward.

"Domain...is this the power of a domain?"

Huo Wu extended her fair palm, a wisp of crimson-gold flame leaping in her palm, more agile, fiery, and refined than ever before.

She felt that within this fifty-meter-wide "Burning Heaven Domain," she was the master of the flames!
Among those of the same level, there is probably no one who can rival her, and it is not impossible for her to even challenge those of higher levels!

"Wu'er!"

Several shouts filled with surprise and awe came from behind.

The dean of Blazing Fire Academy, an elderly man in his sixties with red hair and beard, rushed over with several high-ranking academy members and teachers, his face full of excitement and disbelief.

Huo Wu's father, the city lord of Blazing City, a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor and piercing gaze, followed closely behind, his eyes filled with pride and a hint of deep contemplation. "Good! Good! Good!"

The old dean exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row, his beard trembling with excitement. "Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix! Soul King Realm! And a nascent Domain! Heaven bless my Blazing Fire Academy! Heaven bless my Huo family!"

Huo Wu withdrew her domain, turned to face the crowd, and although she was extremely excited, she still maintained her pride, only her eyes and brows were even more radiant.

"Dean, Father, I did it!"

The Fire City Lord strode forward, patted his daughter's shoulder forcefully, and said in a deep voice, "Wu'er, this is an immense opportunity, but fortune may bring misfortune. You are too sharp now, and you may become the target of everyone's attacks."

"From this day forward, you are not permitted to leave the academy grounds without my or the dean's accompaniment!"

The old dean also said solemnly, "The city lord is absolutely right. Huo Wu, you must immediately come with me to the academy's secret realm, 'Earth Fire Melting Heart,' to cultivate in seclusion, consolidate your realm, and familiarize yourself with the power of your new martial soul and domain."

"I will personally protect you and gather all the fire-attribute Soul Saints and above elders of the academy to jointly study how to maximize your potential, especially the method of using this 'Burning Heaven Domain'!"

Although Huo Wu was proud, she understood the implications and nodded immediately: "Yes, Dean, Father."

Soon, Blazing Academy and even the entire Blazing City were in an uproar. Celebratory flames were lit throughout the city, and Blazing Academy was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, announcing a three-day celebration.

Huo Wu's portrait and deeds spread rapidly, and she became the most dazzling new star of the younger generation of Soul Masters in Blazing Fire Academy and even the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

However, unlike the jubilation among the general public, the atmosphere within the core of various top powers on the mainland became more subtle, tense, and even bizarre due to Huo Wu's inclusion on the list.

The Council Hall of the Imperial Palace in the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Emperor Xueye had just finished making arrangements regarding Xueke's security and alliance when the news of Huowu's inclusion on the list was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples once again.

"Fire Dance... Blazing Fire Academy..."

Emperor Xueye tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes filled with a complex and unfathomable light.

"A level 44 Soul Master directly upgraded to a level 50 Soul King, with the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix Martial Soul and the rudimentary form of a domain... This woman's talent is truly terrifying."

The Prime Minister frowned: "Your Majesty, although Huowu belongs to the Blazing Fire Academy and is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Empire, Blazing Fire City has a high degree of autonomy, and the Huo family has been a local tyrant in the south for many years."

"Huo Wu is a proud and independent woman. Having obtained such an extraordinary opportunity, her personal prestige, and even the power of the Huo family and the Blazing Fire Academy, will inevitably expand rapidly. I am worried..."

"Worried that the problem will become too big to handle?"

Emperor Xueye took over the conversation, his tone calm but with a hint of coldness, "After all, Blazing Fire Academy is one of the five elemental academies of the empire, and the Huo family has been loyal for generations... at least on the surface."

"Huo Wu's rise will greatly enhance the overall strength of the empire in the short term, especially in the fight against Wu Hun City and Xing Luo Empire. She, Liu Erlong, and Xue Ke can form a powerful firepower and support combination."
