Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 163 Arrogance requires ability, and I happen to have it!

With just a slight sense, Ma Xiaotao could roughly gauge the strength of the reserve team members.

After the evil fire transformed into the ultimate fire, she not only gained increased combat power but also refined soul power. Her mental strength and perception also improved significantly. Apart from not having the ultimate talent, Ma Xiaotao was not much different from a normal ultimate attribute soul master.

However, Ma Xiaotao didn't actually know that ultimate attribute soul masters had such a thing as ultimate talent.

In her perception, apart from Lin Yun who posed a threat to her, there was only Jiang Nannan whose soul power was relatively strong, probably at the Soul Master level. The others were all Soul Venerables and Great Soul Masters.

That's it?

So Ma Xiaotao didn't hesitate to mock him, her eyes sweeping disdainfully over the members of the reserve team before finally settling on Lin Yun.

She knew that Lin Yun's soul ring configuration was terrifying, and that he was also a soul master with the ultimate power attribute, but so what?

Having transformed into the ultimate fire, Ma Xiaotao is now almost arrogant and disdainful of everyone. The first thing she will do upon returning to the main team, besides kicking out that level-five soul master, is to challenge the other six members of the main team.

Five Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor.

However, even when Dai Yueheng and the other six joined forces to deal with her, they were utterly and instantly defeated by Ma Xiaotao.

We are both Soul Masters with the ultimate attributes. I am the Soul Emperor and you are the Soul King. So what if your Soul Ring configuration is better than mine? My Soul Power level is higher than yours!

Ma Xiaotao harbored deep malice towards this person who dared to extort her most respected and admired Shrek Academy. She was deliberately provoking Lin Yun so that she could teach him a lesson and let him know that in Shrek Academy, no matter how talented you are, you can only lie down!

But her attack range was really too large. Before Lin Yun could even speak, Wang Dong couldn't hold back anymore.

"What do you mean?" Wang Dong's eyes were dark as he stared intently at Ma Xiaotao.

Even though she was only a part of Tang Wutong and did not know her true identity as the daughter of the God King, as the little princess of the Haotian Sect, her pride was no less than anyone else's.

To put it arrogantly, even Lin Yun was someone Wang Dong never took seriously. He was not as strong or talented as Lin Yun, but Wang Dong still had a feeling that he could look down on Lin Yun.

Ma Xiaotao?

What kind of rotten fish and shrimp dares to mock me?

"Wasn't I clear enough? I really don't know what loopholes you guys exploited in the academy. With your meager cultivation levels, how did you even become members of the reserve team?" Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly, not even glancing at Wang Dong.

She's arrogant now, and she'll stay arrogant until she gets a real beating from society.

Wang Dong's face turned bright red, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.

But... she is a Soul Master.

Before Buddha used Deus Exusiai, Wang Dong could only let Ma Xiaotao attack him face-to-face, while he stood like a lackey.

"You wretched woman, how dare you mock this princess like that! She's asking for death!" The goose roared in impotent rage.

Dai Yueheng and the others looked at each other blankly, and then tacitly became invisible.

They hadn't expected Ma Xiaotao to be like a powder keg that had exploded the moment they met her, but since this group had already been slapped hard by Ma Xiaotao, they naturally weren't going to confront her for the sake of a group of reserve soldiers.

This isn't cowardice, it's just completely unnecessary.

As the tension between the regular team and the reserve team intensified, Lin Yun spoke up.

"What are you barking like a dog?"

A classic moment. Just six words were enough to drive Ma Xiaotao completely mad for Lin Yun, unleashing the beast dormant within her…

I'm awake!

boom!

A fierce golden-red flame erupted instantly, and Dai Yueheng and the others, whose expressions changed drastically, were forced to retreat repeatedly by the terrifying high temperature. After all, they had suffered considerable losses under this flame and had even been brutally beaten by Ma Xiaotao.

Now, Ma Xiaotao was blown away by a single sentence from that blond-haired kid on the other side, and Dai Yueheng and the others just wanted to stay far away to avoid getting splattered with blood by Lin Yun.

On the reserve team side, when Huo Yuhao heard Lin Yun say those six words again, he shuddered and quickly came to the back, protecting everyone in front of him.

He had a premonition that the crazy woman in red across from him was probably going to send something today!

Dai Yueheng and the others ran away because they were afraid that Lin Yun would splatter blood all over them, while Huo Yuhao ran away because he was afraid that Lin Yun's wide-range, indiscriminate AOE would also accidentally injure them!

"Kid, talent doesn't equal strength. Today, let your senior teach you a lesson and show you what humility is!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes were blazing with fire, and six perfectly matched spirit rings gradually appeared on her body.

Two yellow, two purple, two black—Soul Emperor!

"Really? I think you're pretty arrogant too!" Lin Yun smiled at Ma Xiaotao, pushed Xiao Xiao behind him, and then the sleeves of his arms burst open, his muscles bulged and bulged, finally forming two ferocious golden dragon claws.

Xiao Xiao was very obedient; she not only stepped back herself, but also pulled Ning Tian and the others back with her.

"Don't worry, we'll win!"

She had great confidence in Lin Yun. She believed that Lin Yun would win no matter who he faced. What she needed to do was not to hold Lin Yun back, but to grow up quickly until she could stand by his side and face challenges together.

Boo!

A loud phoenix cry suddenly rang out, and a pair of phoenix wings formed of flames popped out from Ma Xiaotao's back, transforming her into a fiery meteor and flying into the sky.

Ding--

The fifth-ranked ten-thousand-year soul ring released a deep black light, and the flames on Ma Xiaotao's body surged again, eventually forming a fiery phoenix on her body.

At the same time, Ma Xiaotao's second and third spirit rings lit up, and her legs erupted with intense spirit power fluctuations.

Fifth Soul Skill - Phoenix Piercing Clouds Strike! Stacked with Phoenix Reborn in Flames and Phoenix Wings Soaring to the Sky, and then stacked with the Soul Bone Soul Skill of both legs!

"Arrogance requires ability, and I happen to have it!"

Ma Xiaotao's arrogant laughter rang out in the air. The golden-red flame phoenix proudly raised its head, and then plummeted down like a shooting star.

Target: Lin Yun!

Dai Yueheng and the others were dumbfounded.

Even when the six of them ganged up on Ma Xiaotao, she only needed to use a single area-of-effect attack, Phoenix Meteor Shower, to instantly kill them all.

When it was Lin Yun alone, she not only used her strongest single-target attack, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike, but also added two status skills and two soul bone skills.

What the hell is this grudge against?

They don't really want to burn that blond kid from the outer courtyard to death, do they?

Those in the reserve team who had truly witnessed Lin Yun's terrifying power felt nothing at all. The pressure Ma Xiaotao felt at this moment was nothing compared to the pressure Lin Yun exerted when he released the Golden Dragon Demon Flash.

Lin Yun smiled amidst the worried gazes of Dai Yueheng and the others.

One after another, spirit rings rose from beneath his feet and hovered around him, accompanied by a soft, calm laugh.

"Then let me see what you've got!"
