Chapter 296 The Fatty's Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roaring Strike (Part 2)

Even his Phoenix Wing Sky Soar, which can greatly enhance the effect of flames and increase his ability to fly for a short time, cannot significantly improve his attack power. As a power-attack type Soul Master, this has always been a source of pain for Fatty.

But at this moment, the fat man's fourth soul skill, Phoenix Roaring Strike, had completely changed the situation. Amplified by the combined power of his second and third soul skills, the terrifying attack caused even Flander, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, and the others to shrink in shock. Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai, the one with the strongest soul power, admitted that it was impossible for him to escape unscathed from such an attack.

The sharp cry of "Pink Lady" abruptly ceased within the phoenix flames. As the dazzling fire phoenix in the sky slowly dissipated, the fat man landed lightly on the ground. Although his face was somewhat pale, his expression was filled with excitement.

Bang! The Pink Lady's body crashed heavily to the ground. Her once translucent body had turned completely dark red, and she emitted a foul, burnt smell. Apart from a few slight spasms, she could no longer get up.

If the fat man hadn't held back and controlled the intensity of the flames, that attack would have been enough to kill it.

To the fat man's surprise, the spiderweb binding the Pink Lady was still there, though it had turned fiery red. It hadn't turned to ashes.

However, he was in a state of excitement after using his fourth soul skill and didn't think much about it.

The master suddenly said, "Oscar, quick. Kill it, the vital point is its eye, then absorb the spirit ring immediately."

Oscar was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the urgent light in the master's eyes, he immediately understood. He rushed forward in three steps, and before he could even thank Ma Hongjun, he had already drawn a dagger from his waist and thrust it straight down. Although his level 40 soul power did not give him any offensive ability, his strength was still much greater than that of an ordinary person.

The pink-clad lady's outer shell had already been softened by Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames, effortlessly ending the life of this soul beast.

Sitting cross-legged, Oscar, the "Pink Lady," immediately began the process of absorbing soul rings.

At this moment, the large number of "Pink Ladies" around them had retreated like a tide. What made them retreat was not only the death of "Pink Lady", but more importantly, the powerful pressure coming from the fat man's phoenix flames.

Flander walked over to Ma Hongjun and slapped him on the back of the chubby head. "Stop being so vain. Hurry up and sit down to recover your soul power."

Ma Hongjun was so badly beaten that he stuck out his tongue. He quickly sat down not far from Oscar and began to cultivate silently.

Although his attack was incredibly dazzling and extremely powerful, using his second, third, and fourth soul skills simultaneously was still a huge drain on him, especially since he had just entered the forty-first level by acquiring a soul ring.

In addition, in pursuit of the visual effect of the flames, he spared no effort in outlining the perfect phoenix form in the air, using at least 70% of his soul power.

Ning Rongrong murmured, "Each time I acquire a new soul skill, it's truly a qualitative leap. I wonder what my fourth soul ring will be. Master, why did you let Oscar absorb that Pink Lady's soul ring? Although that soul beast has a decent cultivation level, its strength isn't that great!"

The master said solemnly, "For soul masters who need soul rings, there is no strongest soul beast, only the one most suitable for them. This 'Pink Lady' is better for Oscar than any other soul beast. If I'm not mistaken, after he obtains this fourth soul ring, it will help your overall attack strength."

Tang San, having been personally taught by Grandmaster, was most likely to understand his teacher's thoughts. A thought struck him, "Teacher, do you mean that Xiao Ao's fourth spirit ring effect is mixed with the stimulant toxin from the Pink Lady's poisonous mist?"

The master nodded and said, "That's exactly right. Oscar possesses a food-type martial soul, so even if he absorbs a poisonous beast's martial soul, his soul skill won't produce toxins. Therefore, this skill, which originally belonged to Pink Lady, will undergo a certain transformation after he absorbs it. The effect should be an increase in excitement level for a short period of time. I can't be sure of the extent of the increase, but it should be an increase in all attributes. It's like the effect of the entire Berserker team entering Bloodlust when you encountered them before. Although his will also have a backlash, I think it shouldn't be as domineering as Bloodlust."

All attributes boosted? Just those few words made the Shrek Seven Devils' hearts race.

The most obvious example is Ning Rongrong.

Ever since Oscar confessed his feelings to her that day, she had seen him diligently cultivate every day. Seeing that Oscar was about to obtain another very useful soul skill, how could she not be happy for him? However, she was also more uneasy.

Ning Rongrong had initially decided to confront Oscar after the Soul Master Competition, but the closer the time for the confrontation got, the faster her feelings changed.

She found herself unconsciously paying more attention to Oscar, not because of his looks, but because of the newfound determination in his eyes. Ning Rongrong knew very well that this determination in Oscar's eyes stemmed entirely from her.

He genuinely likes her and is working hard to gain the means to pursue her.

Two yellow and one purple spirit rings swirled around Oscar's body. At this moment, the "Pink Lady" was constantly emitting wisps of pink light that merged into Oscar's body. Under the invasion of that pink light, Oscar's expression gradually revealed pain.

As the master once said, the difficulty of absorbing a spirit ring is closely related to the depth of the spirit beast's resentment.

Not only did the "Pink Lady" harbor hatred towards everyone for killing her husband, but she also died at the hands of Oscar, so how could her resentment be small?

Absorbing it wasn't easy, but it was within the range that could be absorbed. At the same time, its power wasn't as domineering as the original Man-Faced Demon Spider. Although Oscar would have to endure some pain, he wouldn't be in any danger.

Flander leaned closer to the master and whispered, "Xiao Gang, how effective was Hong Jun's attack just now?" Although he asked a question, he couldn't hide the smugness on his face.

He felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as his direct disciples grew stronger.

Tang San's brilliance was too dazzling among the Shrek Seven Devils. The strength that Ma Hongjun had just displayed made Flander overjoyed. At least he believed that his disciple was finally not too much worse than Tang San.

Sure enough, the master nodded affirmatively and said, "Quite good. The attack power that Hong Jun just unleashed should be about the same as the power of Mu Bai's all-out attack. It's enough to cause fatal damage to a Soul Master below level 50. More importantly, his attack included the Phoenix Flame effect. His flames are not only extremely hot, but also have strong adhesion, and the added flame damage is almost equivalent to the Soul Power unleashed by his main attack. In terms of explosive power, Fatty should be the strongest among the Shrek Seven Devils right now. He's also slightly stronger than Mu Bai."

Flander laughed and said, "We have to thank Erlong for this. If she hadn't stopped at the last minute yesterday, the little fat boy wouldn't have had such a good harvest."

The Master knew Flanders all too well; the guy always valued his pride highly, and although the Master and Flanders were good friends, the Master wouldn't hesitate to give him a good jab. Of course, this was entirely a well-intentioned reminder.

"Flander, have you noticed the fat man's current problems?" the master asked calmly.

"A drawback? You mean his sustained attack capability?" Flander pondered.

The master nodded and said, "Although Fatty's burst damage is very strong, his soul power consumption is too high, making his sustained combat ability inferior to Mu Bai's. Once his attacks fail to achieve the desired effect, his combat power will be greatly weakened in a short period of time. This is a limitation of his current abilities. At the same time, there is another problem. His fourth soul skill is inherited from the Earth King's Magma Earth-Splitting Strike, which, through combination with his own Phoenix Flame, is transformed into Phoenix Roaring Strike. But the principle remains the same."

"His Phoenix Roar Strike has two parts. The first part stuns the opponent by causing air vibrations, and the second part unleashes his strongest attack while the opponent is stunned. The opponent's stun process is also the process of him charging up and unleashing his power. Am I right?"

Flanders nodded and said, "You are a master, of course."

The master said, "That's precisely why Fatty also inherited the weakness of the Magma Earth-Shattering Strike: its attack range. Think about it, would an opponent let him get close enough to launch an attack? As long as they escape within a five-meter radius of his body before he unleashes the first stage of Phoenix Roaring Strike, his attack will be futile. This isn't something only agility-type Soul Masters can do; even power-type Soul Masters can easily do it if they pay attention. Speed ​​isn't Fatty's forte. While Phoenix Wing Soaring allows him to fly briefly, its more important function is to amplify the fire's effect and power, not its speed. Therefore, although the explosive power of his attack is formidable, it requires someone to cooperate with him."

After hearing the master's explanation, Flander immediately understood: "You mean that someone must first help Hongjun restrict the opponent's movements so that his Phoenix Roaring Strike can unleash its maximum power."
