Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Four crisp, short impacts rang out almost simultaneously.

Fast! Unbelievably fast!

In the instant before anyone, including Bei Bei herself, could fully see it, Kong Tianxu's jade-colored left hand, surprisingly, struck first, precisely and with even smaller amplitude and faster speed, meeting Bei Bei's four palm strikes from Dragon Emperor's Evil-Breaking Rift.

Amidst the thunderous roar, clusters of golden lightning, each a meter in diameter, exploded in the air before instantly vanishing.

Beibei felt as if her four palms had struck an ancient and solid jade mountain one after another. All the evil-dispelling power and the light and lightning were absorbed and neutralized by the jade-colored palm the moment they made contact, like a mud ox entering the sea.

At the same time, a strange, cold, yet incredibly resilient force surged back along the meridians of the arm!

"puff--"

Beibei groaned, his eyes filled with shock. His face turned from white to red, then instantly turned ashen. The Xuan Shui tide that the Dragon Emperor's Evil-Breaking Rift had briefly unleashed surged forth, shaking him so much that it felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and his sea of ​​consciousness was also dizzy.

No, it's not just a recoil!

His entire body trembled as if it were a leaf, and he staggered back seven or eight steps, each step leaving deep footprints on the hard ground. A layer of fine golden lightning even appeared on the blue-purple dragon scales of his body, which had now reverted to those of a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Finally, when Beibei managed to steady herself with her last bit of strength, her whole body was tightly wrapped in chaotic golden lightning as thick as an arm, and all her dragon scales snapped open in response.

His legs buckled, and with a thud, he knelt on one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with tiny sparks of electricity and a faint golden glow.

This is……

My Dragon Emperor Breaks Evil?

He was actually injured and suffered a backlash from a portion of the power of his own Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Rift!

Kong Tianxu didn't even glance at Bei Bei, who was kneeling and spitting blood. His gaze swept back towards the Shrek waiting area, and he raised his left hand.

The jade color faded, and his left hand returned to normal, slender and even somewhat translucent in the sunlight. It was a hand that even girls would envy, capable of defeating a mad leopard with a single wave and shattering a dragon emperor with four palm strikes.

This time, he held up two fingers.

the second!

Kong Tianxu's voice remained calm, yet it possessed a chilling, penetrating power that sent shivers down everyone's spines:

"next."

Both matches lasted only a short time. As Kong Tianxu walked towards the waiting area, Bei Bei struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes unfocused, filled with an indescribable complexity and confusion.

He didn't even know how he lost, only that it was related to Kong Tianxu's hard left hand that had suddenly turned into a jade color.

Could it be a technique similar to the Jade Hand? But the effect is far too abnormal. His Dragon Emperor Evil-Slaying Rift clearly landed completely, yet Kong Tianxu seemed to feel nothing at all.

Actually, he guessed wrong; Kong Tianxu did have a feeling.

The light and lightning, mixed with the power of dominating the world, entered his body and instantly spread throughout his entire being, making him feel... very comfortable.

Yes, it's very comfortable.

As a branch of the Silver Dragon, even if Bei Bei's martial soul evolves into the Holy Light Dragon in the future, Kong Tianxu will still know everything he knows, at most he won't be as proficient as him. The title of "King of the World" would be a joke in the face of the Heavenly Commandment. Kong Tianxu deliberately allowed the Lightning to enter his body to experience the application of this power.

As for Beibei's backlash, the Xuan Yu Shield's external soul bone in its normal form has a built-in passive effect—a permanent effect that reflects 30% of damage.

With attacks failing to break through defenses, damage output reflecting back, and the ever-present Xuan Tian Tide, Bei Bei's challenge was a joke from the very beginning.

Chapter 194 Golden Crow Saintess Wu Ming, the True Fire of the Sun (Part 1)

Because Bei Bei challenged Kong Tianxu, who was a Soul Emperor, with the status of a Soul King, his defeat, though quick, was not unexpected by most of the spectators.

However, in the eyes of some people, this victory or defeat has a completely different meaning.

For example, Zhang Lexuan, who was resting her chin on her hand, witnessed Kong Tianxu's undisguised crushing and subtle hostility towards Beibei. In the end, she felt helpless but couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion rising in her heart, and her lips slightly curved.

For example, the Tang Clan members with dark faces.

Bei Bei is already the strongest among them, and even she struggles so much against Kong Tianxu. So how will they win against the even stronger Kong Tianxu in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament three years later? And how will they reclaim the glory they lost from Shrek Academy?

Everyone remained silent. Wang Dong, sitting in the last row, flashed a dark light in her hand, and her eyes became firm, as if she had made up her mind.

Meanwhile, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy on the other side of the continent, the scene of Kong Tianxu defeating the two Shrek Academy members in succession was clearly and completely displayed on the large screen in the center of the Soul Guidance Trial Grounds.

Hearing the cheers around him, Huo Yuhao's expression was very solemn. His thoughts were exactly the same as Wang Dong's.

"Brother Tianmeng."

"No, absolutely not, don't even think about it." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rejected the idea without even asking any questions, clearly indicating that Huo Yuhao had brought up similar ideas more than once.

"If you add a spirit ring to your second spirit now, you're completely wasting the talent that Tianmeng and I bestowed upon you. I don't have as much source energy as Tianmeng to help you increase the age of your spirit ring."

The Ice Empress, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally opened her mouth today. Her voice was icy cold. Although she had cursed Tianmeng Ice Silkworm countless times, the die was cast. Now that it concerned her own interests, she had no choice but to break the cold war first.

Seeing that neither of the two soul beasts in the Sea of ​​Spirit agreed with his idea, Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. He himself was also very hesitant about this matter.

He severed his connection with the two beasts first, and his spiritual body slowly moved to a small ball of gray light, muttering to himself:

"Elder Yi, as expected, no matter what Brother Tianmeng and the others are like, they are ultimately just soul beasts. But I believe you will understand me, right?"

"Power itself is neither good nor evil; the key lies in the person who uses it."

As if he had convinced himself, he slowly reached out and touched the gray ball of light that was slowly absorbing the energy from the several mental seals of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and seemed to be slightly more solid than a few years ago.

In an instant, countless fragments surged forth...

"Aren't you going down? What are you waiting for?" Gong Changlong frowned at Bei Bei, whose expression was gloomy and inscrutable.

Beibei took a deep breath, slowly got up, and said as she brushed past Kong Tianxu:

"My strength is indeed inferior to yours, but the way you obtained Sister Lexuan by taking advantage of her vulnerability is extremely despicable. A person like you doesn't understand true love at all."

"So, you're quite knowledgeable, huh?" Kong Tianxu glanced at him indifferently.

The image of Tang Ya's every smile and gesture immediately flashed before Bei Bei's eyes, and he puffed out his chest: "Of course."

No matter what, he still has Xiaoya.

“Perhaps you don’t understand as much as you think.” Kong Tianxu suddenly gave him a deep look, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a smile that seemed almost eerie to Bei Bei.

Beibei wanted to argue, but Gong Changlong urged him again, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk off the field.

For some reason, an inexplicable sense of panic suddenly gripped him.

Does he really still have Xiaoya...?

After the second match ended, Kong Tianxu still did not choose to rest. He was indeed not exhausted, and the Xuan Yu Shield in his true form was like a part of his body.

Furthermore, under the constant purification of the Holy Yuan Spirit Gathering and the Myriad Beginnings Returning to Origin Domain, Bei Bei's pure power of light and lightning replenished his soul power after entering his body.

After the two matches ended, the uproar and commotion in the stands had subsided, and the Shrek Academy students were now casting somewhat complicated glances at Kong Tianxu.

Is this the Supreme Dragon who once defeated Shrek Academy head-on? So Soul Masters can be this strong? Weren't we supposed to be the number one academy in the world? Why were we defeated so quickly?

Some promising and intelligent students had already begun to ponder the changes that Yan Shaozhe had hoped for. However, he did not expect that once Shrek Academy, a ship that boasted of its eternal invincibility, changed course, it was uncertain whether its target would still be subject to the will of its helmsman.

This period of contemplation did not last long.

"Hmph! You're just putting on airs, relying on your martial spirit and attributes! Let me take you on!"

A crisp, yet clearly fiery, shout shattered the silence. A tall, agile figure, like a streak of crimson-gold light, shot out from the waiting area and landed heavily in the arena.

The newcomer was a woman, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in a simple and neat red outfit that accentuated her full and powerful figure. She had a beautiful face, but her eyes held an undisguised arrogance and wildness, and a faint aura of heat emanated from her, causing the students near the front row of the fighting arena to feel a wave of heat wash over them.

Fire attribute martial soul? Kong Tianxu felt as if his second soul ring was sensing something, and his heart stirred slightly.

"Shrek Inner Court, Wu Ming!" The woman raised her chin slightly, announced her name, and her burning gaze, like a tangible flame, was fixed on Kong Tianxu, as if she wanted to burn him through.

"I'm not going to take advantage of you. My martial soul is the Golden Crow, a level 69 offensive battle soul emperor. I'll bring out that kind of flame you had when you sparred with your senior brother last time, or else you'll be roasted like a chicken by me!"

Before she could finish speaking, she had already made her move. A pair of golden wings unfurled behind her, and with a flap of her wings, she was already in the air. Brilliant golden flames erupted like a volcano, instantly engulfing most of the arena. The intense heat made the spectators in the distance feel a burning sensation on their skin.

The Golden Crow, a powerful firebird, is said to be a close relative of the Phoenix. While Wu Ming's Golden Crow True Fire hasn't yet reached the pinnacle of fire, it's not far off. Furthermore, within the inner courtyard, she is known as the Golden Crow Saintess.

However, this "saintly maiden" might be more accurately described as a "leftover woman." Her appearance and cultivation were both top-notch, but her fiery temper, even more so than Ma Xiaotao's back then, deterred countless male students from approaching her. The two were once known as the two "active volcanoes" of the inner academy.

Gong Changlong frowned, but did not stop her. He knew Wu Ming's personality well, and letting her go on stage now was probably to break the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere.

Chapter 195 Golden Crow Saintess Wu Ming, the True Fire of the Sun (Part 2)

With a sharp shout from Wu Ming, she lunged forward, her right hand pointing to the sky, and her fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up. A ball of light, no bigger than a longan but gleaming with the luster of a ruby, shot into the sky.

The ball of light was initially very small, but it rapidly expanded as it rose against the wind. When it reached a height of thirty meters, it had grown to the size of a washbasin, and then, like a meteor falling to the ground, it crashed down with a blazing tail of flames in front of Kong Tianxu.

Is this the Golden Crow True Fire? Why does it resonate with my Solar True Fire?

Faced with the oncoming scorching waves of fire, a hint of slight interest finally flashed in Kong Tianxu's eyes.

He didn't take the hit head-on, nor did he use the Xuan Tian Tide to suppress it. His figure only swayed slightly, like a weightless phantom, and slid several feet to the side in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, an extremely thin silver whip extended from his fingertips. As if afraid of destroying the ball of light in one go, he shook his fingers, and the brightness on the silver whip faded a little before he lashed it out!

But then, a strange thing happened.

The fierce crimson fireball, which was about to pass by Kong Tianxu, suddenly stopped in mid-air, then changed direction, dodged the oncoming silver whip, and moved three feet to the side before pouncing on him again at the last possible moment.

Secondary control—this refers to secondary control over a soul skill. As a Soul Emperor, Wu Ming's mental strength is by no means inferior to that of an ordinary Soul Saint.

This control of her soul skill was truly exquisite. If Wu Ming were merely as impulsive and aggressive as she appeared, only capable of brute force, how could she be feared by everyone in the inner courtyard? She possesses genuine skill.

Upon seeing Wu Ming's brilliant move, the Shrek Academy members cheered again. Even from a distance, the scorching heat of the Golden Crow True Fire was palpable, greatly boosting their confidence.

A slight smile appeared on Wu Ming's lips. Her fourth soul skill was called Golden Crow True Fire Ring. Once it touched Kong Tianxu, it would generate a powerful impact and burning ability. Even if it couldn't hurt him, it could at least force Kong Tianxu to use his soul skill to fight her head-on.

As the dignified Golden Crow Saintess, how could she possibly lose to this pretty-boy-looking foreign student without any explanation? At the very least, she should force him to unleash his soul skill!

However, she miscalculated again. Faced with the sudden onslaught of the Golden Crow True Fire Ring, Kong Tianxu's silver whip seemed to possess a spirit, quickly adjusting its direction and plunging fiercely into Wu Ming's Golden Crow True Fire Ring. Then, he spun around and guided it—

"Boom!"

The golden-red ring of fire grazed Kong Tianxu's clothes before slamming into referee Gong Changlong, creating violent ripples of soul power. The scorching heat spread outwards, and even the stone slabs on the fighting arena showed signs of melting.

Kong Tianxu raised his silver whip again, this time with a golden-red sheen, just like Wu Ming's Golden Crow True Fire. He also looked thoughtful.

Wu Ming's expression hardened when her attack missed. She now vaguely understood why Chu Qingtian and Bei Bei had lost so strangely.

With a raise of her right hand, her second spirit ring instantly shone brightly, and a cluster of golden-red flames danced in her palm. In the next instant, intense golden-red light ignited around her body, illuminating the entire Soul Arena in a golden-red hue.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Ming clasped her hands together in front of her. When her technique failed to work, she immediately changed her tactics.

A golden-red pillar of fire instantly shot out from her hands, with a cross-sectional diameter of one meter, and hurtled straight toward Kong Tianxu.
