Douluo Continent: If the system had arrived ten thousand years earlier, I would have crushed Tang Sa

Chapter 253 Dark Phoenix? Is Xiao Tian's true strength above the God level? (Two chapters combined)

Seeing the eerie black aura gradually emanating from Ma Hongjun, Flander felt a sudden unease and quickly went to his side to comfort him: "Hongjun, don't get too agitated, calm down."

Ma Hongjun's eyes were indeed red, and a black line gradually appeared on his face: "Teacher, how can I calm down?! I finally evolved my martial soul from a pheasant into an evil fire phoenix, and my life had been smooth sailing. Now, because of Xiao Tian, ​​I've become a eunuch! Tell me, even if I become stronger, what's the point?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Hongjun exuded a terrifying aura, and the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul behind him began to mutate.

His originally fiery red wings began to transform into black wings under the erosion of this black energy, and the flames burning on his body also turned dark black. An aura of pressure beyond his own strength emanated from his body!

"Not good!" Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang Hao beside her and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Haotian!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Hao unleashed a powerful surge of soul force, attempting to suppress Ma Hongjun's aura as much as possible.

"Master, what's wrong with him?" Tang Hao could only suppress him with his soul power as much as possible, and dared not use too much force. What if he was injured and fell into a coma? What would happen to the afternoon's match?

Moreover, regarding Ma Hongjun's sudden change, he could sense an extremely intense flame from the martial soul behind him, far surpassing the previous Evil Phoenix Flame.

"Judging from this, Hongjun has likely been corrupted by the pent-up evil fire within him."

It was Flander who spoke; he could feel his Cat-Owl Martial Soul being suppressed for a moment.

Dai Mubai asked in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case, Dean. Fatty's thing is clearly gone. Doesn't that mean he's no longer affected by the evil fire?"

Now that place is gone, Ma Hongjun should become more detached from worldly desires. And even if he develops evil desires, there's nowhere for them to manifest, so they should leak out, right?

This is his rather superficial understanding, but he overlooked one point: Ma Hongjun's martial soul is the extremely yang Fire Phoenix martial soul. The disappearance of his second brother would cause a normal person to gradually become feminized due to excessive secretion of estrogen in their body, turning them into the current appearance of Yu Xiaogang.

However, Ma Hongjun was an exception. Due to the influence of his martial spirit, his yang energy was still very abundant, which was enough to suppress the secretion of estrogen in his body. Even though he was a eunuch, he could still speak and act like a normal man.

But this doesn't mean that the problem of the evil fire in Ma Hongjun's body has been solved. This is a problem brought to the soul master by the martial soul. How could it be solved just because his second brother disappeared?

This is a bit too simplistic and crude.

The disappearance of his second brother only reduced Ma Hongjun's desires, which to some extent suppressed the generation of evil fire. However, once the Soul Master himself is subjected to some major stimulus, the evil fire in his body may be ignited all at once.

Yu Xiaogang frowned and said, "It seems that Hongjun suffered too much shock and couldn't accept it all at once. Now he's being backfired by the evil fire hidden within him. Evil fire itself has a certain dark attribute, and now it's been completely ignited by his emotions, causing his martial soul to begin evolving towards the dark side!"

The Evil Phoenix, on the surface, possesses extremely fierce flames, but due to its evil nature, it also has certain dark attributes. However, in Yu Xiaogang's theoretical research, there has never been such a case before.

After all, Ma Hongjun's martial spirit itself was mutated from a pheasant, and the Evil Fire Phoenix is ​​a unique case on the entire continent.

"What do we do now? This can't go on like this!" Flander looked at Yu Xiaogang with anxiety in his eyes.

Tang San, standing to the side, could sense that Ma Hongjun's aura was significantly stronger than before, not only in terms of soul power but also in terms of flames.

If we were to compare his Evil Fire Phoenix with Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix, objectively speaking, he would lean towards Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix martial soul having stronger ice attribute energy.

The sheer power of the ice attribute in that battle against the Heavenly Dou Royal Team was undeniable.

With a single Martial Soul Fusion Technique, he defeated Xiao Tian, ​​leaving only him on the arena, while the others were forced to retreat.

It's not that Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and the others can't hold on, but if they force themselves to stay on the field, it will not only distract Xiao Tian, ​​but they may also get injured.

That martial soul fusion skill is an energy attack, which Xiao Wu's invincible golden body cannot withstand, and Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom is also completely countered.

But now, with Ma Hongjun's corruption, the Dark Phoenix Flame produced by the Dark Fire Phoenix makes him feel that this flame might be able to break through Shui Bing'er's ice attribute energy blockade, if they are at the same level.

"Fatty!" Tang San looked at Ma Hongjun and said in a deep voice, "Don't let the evil fire consume your reason. Use your strongest will to control this power. If you can withstand it, your martial soul will undergo a transformation. Don't you want to take revenge on Xiao Tian?"

"If you lose your mind, how can you take revenge with your current strength? You must stay rational, improve your strength after the Soul Master Competition, and I will help you! Trust me!"

Tang San's words brought Dai Mubai and Oscar back to their senses.

"Yeah, Fatty, isn't Xiao San going to establish the Tang Sect later? You also said you wanted to be the vice sect leader. And who said that Second Brother has disappeared now and there's no hope of him ever recovering?" Dai Mubai and Oscar said in unison.

Looking at Ma Hongjun's expression, Yu Tianheng hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "It's rumored that the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul, when cultivated to its peak, can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones. Perhaps Ye Lingling from the Heavenly Dou Royal Team can help you, but you'll need to wait until her strength is higher."

Suddenly, Ma Hongjun, who had been closing his eyes, opened them, glanced at Yu Tianheng, and said with a pained expression, "I...I will try my best to hold on!"

Dai Mubai and Oscar raised their eyebrows at Yu Tianheng, "Well done!"

The two of them had known Ma Hongjun the longest and knew his personality best. Yu Tianheng's hope brought him to his senses temporarily, and they felt a little helpless.

Tang Hao glanced at Dai Mubai and the others with a deep look in his eyes. These people were indeed not bad. If Ma Hongjun could hold on in the end, he could take him with him.

This was the first time he had ever seen the power displayed by the dark fire phoenix.

Among them, including Yu Xiaogang, their understanding of martial spirit theory was incomplete, and they were unaware that Ma Hongjun's martial spirit was beginning to transform into the ultimate fire.

In another hotel.

Xiao Wu and the others had only been eating for a short while when they were about to ask Xiao Tian if he had met Qian Renxue at some point, otherwise why would such a challenge have been made?

As the people closest to Xiao Tian, ​​they were unaware that Xiao Tian had actually said such a thing. If Qian Renxue really defeated him in the end, would he really join the Spirit Hall?

"elder brother"

Just as Xiao Wu was about to speak, she noticed that Xiao Tian's expression suddenly hardened, and his gaze sharpened as he looked in a certain direction.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you felt it too?" Chen Xin asked.

He and Xiao Tian were both sword cultivators with strong mental power. Just a moment ago, he sensed a rather violent aura coming from afar, but it quickly disappeared.

"Hmm, that direction is the hotel where Shrek Academy is staying. There's a dark power there," Xiao Tian said, frowning.

Something must have happened on the Shrek team's side again, but soon, Xiao Tian's brows gradually relaxed, and he smiled at everyone: "Don't worry about it, we'll find out what happened this afternoon anyway."

This reflects Xiao Tian's confidence in his own strength. No matter how many tricks they use, they can't possibly elevate someone to the level of a Title Douluo overnight.

The Spirit Hall team is destined to win the afternoon's match.

After this interruption, Xiao Wu and the other girls exchanged glances and didn't ask about what had happened before.

Chen Xin, somewhat curious, asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​was what you displayed today your full strength?"

He was quite concerned about this, since Xiao Tian hadn't given a direct answer to Qian Renxue's question, only asking whether she wanted the truth or a lie.

Moreover, during the journey, Xiao Tian activated his Blue Silver Domain, covering the two of them. Due to the isolation provided by the domain, he couldn't hear what Xiao Tian and Qian Renxue were saying to each other alone.

Perhaps he knew that Xiao Tian hadn't used his full strength today, but he secretly estimated that even if he hadn't, it should still be around 70 or 80 percent.

If it were any lower, he would find it somewhat terrifying.

Xiao Tian simply smiled and said, "Grandpa Jian, think about it. If we convert Ah Yin, Da Ming, and Er Ming's strength into Soul Master levels, their average level is around 95. I fused their Soul Power, and I only reached the level of a Title Douluo. Do you think that's normal?"

Boom—

Now, Chen Xin and most of the people present finally realized what was happening. Chen Xin looked at Xiao Tian with a solemn expression: "In other words, if the three of them were to concentrate all their soul power into you, your own soul power would very likely break through to over ninety-five. No, that's too conservative. With your understanding of swordsmanship, those insights above level ninety-five are not a problem for you at all. It's very likely that you could even reach ninety-seven or ninety-eight."

hiss~~

To be honest, even Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and the others, who were originally quite calm, were somewhat taken aback.

Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Tian with curiosity and asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​can this Fusion Ring really play such an important role?"

Xiao Tian nodded: "It's possible. Theoretically speaking, Grandpa Jian's estimate should be about right. I'm confident in my control over my soul power and won't experience a situation like Huo Wu's where she couldn't control her power. However, even if my soul power can temporarily be raised to level 97 or 98 through the Fusion Ring, my mental power is currently only close to the level of a Title Douluo. If the gap between the two is too large, it won't be enough to support me to unleash the strength of level 97 or 98 for too long, otherwise my mental sea will collapse."

Dugu Bo sighed and said, "Even so, it's still extremely terrifying, little monster. Don't you still have that move you have? If they're combined..."

hiss~~

Dugu Bo's face was solemn, and he dared not think about it any further.

That [All Character Secret] can amplify all attributes tenfold. Although, according to Xiao Tian, ​​it is extremely difficult to trigger and the duration after triggering is not very long, if it can be stacked, wouldn't Xiao Tian instantly possess god-level combat power?

How terrifying!

Although Xiao Tian said that if he were to maximize his spiritual power, it would be far lower than his soul power level, even if he were to use a secret technique as a low-level Title Douluo, his strength would still be enough to reach the god level. Dugu Bo dared not think about the specific level he would reach, or rather, he could not imagine it.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were slightly taken aback. What was that move Dugu Bo was talking about? Did Xiao Tian have an even more powerful move he hadn't used yet?

"Father, Grandpa Jian, please don't ask anymore. You'll find out about Xiao Tian's strength later, won't you?" Ning Rongrong said to the two of them with a smile.

She could tell that the two were very interested in Xiao Tian's true strength, especially Dugu Bo's expression after he said those words, which made them even more curious. However, constantly asking questions would easily cause them to become annoyed.

In other words, the two of them had a decent relationship with Xiao Tian, ​​which is why Xiao Tian was willing to reveal a little bit. Asking any further would be impolite.

She didn't want her family to be disliked by Xiao Tian, ​​otherwise she would be in a dilemma.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a helpless glance, and could only sigh inwardly. Their little princess was obviously siding with outsiders, and she was already protecting Xiao Tian, ​​even though she was clearly no one to him.

Neither of them knew that Xiao Tian and Ning Rongrong had already established a relationship. However, Ning Rongrong was rather shy, and as the third party, she didn't dare to openly engage in any overly intimate behavior with Xiao Tian in Xiao Wu's presence. Otherwise, those two shrewd people might have already noticed something was amiss.

Secretly, she knew that Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu sometimes came to see her at night, and she could only stand by shyly in her room, lost in her own thoughts. But as a young lady from a respectable family, she couldn't very well be the one to ask Xiao Tian for "that" first, could she?

She didn't think she had Xiao Wu's courage, and besides, she was just a support-type Soul Master. There was no way she could go to the boys' dormitory alone at night; she would definitely be discovered.

So she could only wait for Xiao Tian to come to her, but Xiao Tian was sometimes all talk and no action. He was a little cunning but also too straightforward, and he never came to see her alone at night. She even wondered if she had lost her charm.

That's why she couldn't help but whisper those words in Xiao Wu's ear a few days ago.

Ning Rongrong's thoughts were actually half right. Xiao Tian had wanted to find Rongrong many times, but although they had confirmed their relationship, their relationship was not as close as his relationship with Xiao Wu on the surface. This was the reason why he hesitated for so long.

Thinking that she was from a major sect and a well-bred young lady, how could they possibly have a relationship before they were engaged?

At this point, Xiao Tian was limited by some stereotypes from his past life. If he really would stay with Ning Rongrong forever, what difference would it make if it was sooner or later?

This stereotype also melted away when he overheard Ning Rongrong whispering to Xiao Wu.

He even felt that sometimes saying slightly risqué things with them shouldn't be considered lewd, right?

After all, they like each other, so is this considered flirting?

Unfortunately, Xiao Tian has little experience in dating, and he can only learn gradually in this area. When he only had Xiao Wu, he didn't have to think about these things, but now it's different; he also needs to prevent trouble from happening at home.

Now that Ning Rongrong was speaking up for him, he knew clearly that she meant well. In front of everyone, he directly grasped Ning Rongrong's soft little hand, and even couldn't help but gently rub it a couple of times before placing it beside him, completely disregarding the surprised looks from Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

"Ah!" Even Ning Rongrong was shocked by Xiao Tian's action. When she met Xiao Tian's faint smile and saw the speechless expressions of her father and grandfather, her face instantly turned red!

She hasn't told them that she's with Xiao Tian yet. Is Xiao Tian openly asserting his ownership of her?

Her other hand unconsciously covered her chest, her heart pounding. Her head drooped slightly like an ostrich, and her other hand made a symbolic struggle before she let Xiao Tian hold her.
