Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky

Chapter 248 Yan Shaozhe: What do you mean by "a single basic attack brought me to Phoenix Rebirth"?

Yan Shaozhe's expression was ashen, his gaze complex as he looked at the boy by the stream below. He slowly spoke, "As your teacher, you are the most exceptionally talented student I have ever seen. Even my teacher, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, is far inferior to you at your age. A seven-ring Soul Saint at less than eighteen years old, possessing twin martial souls, and the legendary Silver Dragon martial soul, along with a second awakening of the innate gold-level—"

"Even my junior brother will probably find it difficult to reach your level in the future."

His tone abruptly shifted, his killing intent chilling: "Unfortunately, you are from the Sun Moon Empire. This means our positions are fundamentally opposed. The higher your talent, the greater the threat you pose to the academy and the future of the continent. I have repeatedly confirmed this along the way; there is absolutely no powerful figure secretly accompanying and protecting you."

Yan Shaozhe's golden light intensified, and the pressure of his Super Douluo level surged down on Kong Tianxu like a tangible tidal wave, causing a faint popping sound in the air.

"Today, I have come with the intention of killing you. No matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, or how talented you are, with your cultivation level of only Soul Saint, you are destined to perish at my hands today."

Before he finished speaking, nine perfectly matched spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—suddenly appeared behind him, their light swirling and their auras connected.

He took a step forward, a seemingly simple movement that subtly embodied the principles of heaven and earth. Then, he unleashed a punch from afar, aimed directly at Kong Tianxu.

A punch into the void! It seemed simple, but the moment this punch was thrown, the sky and earth within a radius of hundreds of meters seemed to collapse suddenly, beginning to contract inward. A powerful binding force squeezed in from all directions.

This isn't a soul skill, but rather a skill created by Yan Shaozhe himself. It's a powerful skill that perfectly integrates essence, energy, and spirit. While possessing the foundation of dominating the world, it also has a unique artistic conception that belongs to him.

A violent roar exploded from the void, causing even the ground beneath Kong Tianxu's feet to tremble and the soil to churn.

Kong Tianxu's reaction to this punch was quite peculiar.

He neither took the hit head-on nor dodged; he simply made a half-hearted gesture with both hands in front of him.

A deep black hole, three meters in diameter, appeared out of nowhere without warning, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, silently suspended in the air.

"Boom! Boom boom boom—!"

'

Yan Shaozhe's punch, imbued with the power of his peak intent, slammed into the black hole, unleashing more than a dozen muffled and terrifying thuds! Violent energy turbulence spilled out from the edge of the black hole, tearing grooves into the surrounding ground.

A blast of air rose into the sky, and smoke and dust billowed everywhere.

At the center of the collision, both of them were thrown back several steps at the same time.

Kong Tianxu's gaze sharpened. In this clash of pure power without any fancy tricks, he was still inferior to Yan Shaozhe, who had been immersed in this path for over a hundred years, in terms of the subtlety and sophistication of his use of soul power. However, in terms of the quality and attribute level of his soul power, he had achieved an absolute suppression.

He didn't have any advantage in soul power? And this rotating force was—

A look of shock appeared in Yan Shaozhe's eyes. After colliding with Kong Tianxu's seemingly simple action, he was shocked to find that the soul power he released was stirred up by a strange and powerful rotating force, and he completely lost control of it.

As the dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy, he immediately recognized the source of this strange power.

"A Soul Core! You actually managed to condense a Soul Core before becoming a Title Douluo?!"

Yan Shaozhe exclaimed in surprise, his expression suddenly turning extremely serious, completely devoid of his previous composure.

He never imagined that Kong Tianxu had grown to such an extent that he could not only hold his own against him in a head-on confrontation, but had also stepped into the Soul Core realm, a realm that only Title Douluo could access.

It should be noted that Yan Shaozhe's own martial soul, the Bright Phoenix, is a top-tier martial soul, and he has cultivated it to the level of Super Douluo. As Elder Mu's direct disciple and the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, his strength is extremely powerful.

Over the years, his soul power has advanced further, and he is now a level 96 Title Douluo. If he fights at full strength, he can be regarded as a level 97 Super Douluo.

Don't underestimate this level difference. At the level of Super Douluo, the difference between each level can even be regarded as the gap between the next level of Title Douluo.

Those who can fight beyond their level at this stage are all individuals with extremely solid martial spirit foundations and personal grounding.

But now, even with just a preliminary test, he hasn't gained any advantage over a junior who's only at the Soul Saint level?!

Terrible, this child must not be allowed to live. Yan Shaozhe felt no more regret.

Kong Tianxu, however, seemed completely oblivious to Yan Shaozhe's emotional shift, still savoring the recent clash. After a moment's thought, he directly asked, "Dean Yan, are you using a self-created soul skill to activate your own soul skill and soul power?"

Yan Shaozhe suppressed the shock in his heart, and his face, which had regained its composure, even revealed a hint of the gentleness and sigh of a teacher: "That's right, this is a technique that I developed back then. With this technique, I became the dean of the Martial Soul Department. It's a pity that if you and I weren't enemies, I would definitely teach you everything I know."

"But, this is the end."

He held nothing back, his expression solemn and dignified. He slowly raised his hands, one above the other, palms facing each other.

A dazzling golden light emanated from his body, instantly transforming it into something resembling golden glass. At his dantian, a soft golden halo rippled outwards, and a lifelike golden phoenix, no bigger than a palm, danced gracefully before him.

A resounding phoenix cry echoed across the sky. The moment the golden phoenix phantom appeared, the radiant phoenix flames surrounding Yan Shaozhe seemed to be infused with a soul, their power surging. The golden flames almost turned into liquid, like molten gold, blazing and sacred, bursting forth in all directions.

"Yes, that's the end of it."

The last trace of probing in Kong Tianxu's eyes completely vanished.

He took that punch head-on with pure soul power simply to confirm just how far his current strength had gone.

It's not clear yet, but he should be better than Yan Shaozhe.

Faced with the phoenix's cry containing a powerful spiritual impact and the overwhelming flames of light, Kong Tianxu coldly snorted and instead of retreating, advanced with a "Roar—!"

A clear and majestic dragon's roar rose from the ground, shaking the mountains and fields, and crushing the phoenix's cry!

A blinding light, even more dazzling, erupted from Kong Tianxu's body! A powerful dragon's might and blazing flames burst forth simultaneously!

Before him, golden-red light converged wildly, transforming into an incomparably majestic crimson-gold dragon head. Its mouth gaped open, as if a solar storm was roaring within. It possessed an inviolable nobility amidst its intense heat, and a ferocity capable of incinerating all things.

As a martial spirit evolves, its spirit skills will also evolve.

The second soul skill of the 100,000-year-old, Solar Storm Domain, has been upgraded—

Holy Flame Dragon Blast!

Is your phoenix of light a vessel of light and fire?

Then I will crush them head-on with the supreme light and the ultimate fire that burns everything!

"roar--!

The crimson dragon head, wreathed in scorching flames, collided violently with the surging, sweeping golden phoenix sea of ​​fire!

The anticipated stalemate and explosion did not occur.

The crimson-gold dragon head seemed to be alive, its huge mouth suddenly opening wide to swallow the rushing golden phoenix whole!

One swallow, one spit.

The golden phoenix, though still radiant after being swallowed and then expelled, now had eyes that matched the crimson dragon flames. The moment it escaped the dragon's jaws—

Self-destruction!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Violent explosions erupted one after another in the golden sea of ​​fire, which only amplified the power of the crimson dragon head! The dragon head's light grew even more intense and violent, and it went against the torrent of fire, rushing straight at Yan Shaozhe's body with overwhelming force!

"What?!" Yan Shaozhe's pupils shrank, and his heart was filled with shock.

His Light Flame was only close to the ultimate attribute, so it was not surprising that he was completely suppressed by the ultimate fire attribute. However, the light attribute within it was also suppressed to the point that it could not stand up at all.

Ultimate fire? No, there's also ultimate light!

"drink--!"

In the critical moment, Yan Shaozhe held nothing back. An extremely intense white light suddenly burst forth from his body. He circled his hands and pushed both palms outwards at the same time, and the phoenix cry instantly became extremely sharp.

White light suddenly burst forth from his outstretched palms, colliding fiercely once again with the crimson-gold dragon head that was so close at hand! Sixteen consecutive explosions erupted in the air, causing his body to tremble in mid-air. Each time he was forced back, he covered a distance of tens of meters, and in an instant, he was forced back more than a hundred meters away.

The crimson-gold dragon head seemed to have finally perished, but in the final burst of light, an almost imperceptible purple-gold dragon shadow flashed by.

Yan Shaozhe's body suddenly stiffened in mid-air, and with a muffled groan, all his movements came to an abrupt halt.

He looked down in disbelief—

A hole the size of a bowl, its edges gleaming with a purplish-gold flame, appeared prominently in the center of his chest. At the same time, intense golden flames suddenly erupted from his body, instantly engulfing even the purplish-gold flames on his chest. His entire body slowly became transparent within the golden flames, as if it were about to merge into this golden light.

The Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul's innate ability is Phoenix Nirvana, which allows it to withstand a fatal blow and be reborn in flames when faced with a life-or-death crisis.

His extraordinary skill is one of the key reasons why he was chosen as the successor to the next Sea God Pavilion Master.

But with just one strike, his greatest trump card for survival, Phoenix Rebirth, was directly unleashed.

Shock, confusion, disbelief, bitterness—various emotions flashed through Yan Shaozhe's eyes like a revolving lantern.

He actually laughed at this absurd scene in the end.

What does it mean to unleash one's phoenix rebirth in a single move?

Douluo Continent wasn't like this before!

Shouldn't he have relied on his superior soul power to steadily suppress Kong Tianxu throughout the entire fight, then expressed his amazement at Kong Tianxu's outburst and struggle, and finally crushed him to death?

At the very least, it would take hundreds of rounds of back-and-forth between him and himself before he finally managed to kill him by relying on his experience and the magical power of the phoenix's rebirth, and then he would sigh that the heavens are jealous of talent.

But now?

I am a level 96 Super Douluo, the Dean of Shrek Academy, and the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master —

damn it----

By a Soul Saint —

Instant kill?
