Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

In terms of absolute temperature, it might be slightly inferior due to limitations in cultivation, but it contains a powerful and domineering aura of extreme yang and strength. In terms of pure destructive power, it might even surpass it.

It seems that due to the deep communication with Ma Xiaotao, the growth characteristics of the Jiamu Divine Pill have allowed its ultimate fire to evolve again, acquiring a bit of the phoenix flame's inexhaustible nature.

Moreover, unlike the Golden Crow True Fire he had obtained from Wu Ming last time, Kong Tianxu could clearly feel that this new source of flame was truly integrated into the depths of his own bloodline and could continue to grow as his cultivation level improved.

This was an unexpected gain.

Does this mean that if I cultivate with different partners frequently, I will have the opportunity to absorb the essence of their abilities and make them my own?

As his thoughts drifted to this, a series of beautiful faces with distinct personalities flashed uncontrollably through his mind.

Just as Kong Tianxu was staring at the cluster of flames in his palm, which symbolized top-level fire attribute power, his expression gradually became strange.

A pair of cool, soft little hands suddenly reached out from the side, with a hint of defiance, and "slap! slap! slap!" five times, as fast as lightning, actually slapped the golden-red flame in his palm that was strong enough to melt gold and iron, causing it to scatter sparks and be instantly extinguished, leaving not even a trace of warmth.

"Brother is bad!"

The figure of the Snow Empress quietly emerged amidst the drifting, crystalline ice crystals. Her delicate, white cheeks puffed out, and her wide, sky-blue eyes darted about.

It was full of resentment, mixed with a hint of barely perceptible shyness and grievance.

Kong Tianxu was taken aback at first, then seemed to understand something and touched the tip of his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

Thinking back, I had previously secluded myself for a full six months to absorb the Mermaid's Tears and digest the insights into the Destruction of Divinity. This time, when I entered the Golden Tree to "comprehend," an unexpected incident occurred, and the whole process lasted for quite a long time...

All things considered, this little girl has indeed been neglected for quite some time.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xue'er, always protecting me." As usual, he naturally reached out, wanting to pull her into his arms and comfort her.

Xue Di, however, was like a small ice crystal beast with its fur standing on end. She nimbly dodged to the side.

However, Kong Tianxu is no longer the same as before, so how could he let her get what she wanted so easily?

Since being subdued by Kong Tianxu with the power of the contract, Xue Di has preferred to maintain a barefoot, airborne posture. She is doing the same in the room now, her figure elusive and her agility far surpassing that of someone who is on the ground.

But Kong Tianxu reached out with his large hands, moving with almost unreasonable speed, creating a slight whooshing sound as he instantly and accurately captured the icy blue figure that was trying to escape.

Xue Di subconsciously tried to break free, but considering Kong Tianxu's health, she only used half her strength. However, to her surprise, the arms holding her did not budge.

How did my brother become so strong?

A wave of utter astonishment washed over her. You see, while her true form, the Ice and Snow Maiden, was formed from the bloodline of the Ice God, drawing upon the coldest elements of heaven and earth, and wasn't a spirit beast known for its physical strength, as a 690,000-year-old spirit beast king, her physical strength surpassed that of an average Limit Douluo. Yet, she couldn't even budge Kong Tianxu's hands?

This is definitely not the kind of physical body a Super Douluo level should have!

Xue Di subconsciously turned her head, her cute little face full of confusion.

Kong Tianxu's current physical strength is certainly not limited to the Super Douluo realm.

The greatest function of the Dragon Pill is to help Soul Masters cleanse their physical bodies of impurities, fundamentally purifying and sublimating their bloodline and bones.

In short, if a Soul Master can fully digest and absorb the Dragon Pill, their physical strength will approach or even surpass that of a real dragon.

From then on, even if he broke through all the way to the peak of Limit Douluo, he no longer needed to worry about his physical body being unable to bear the ever-growing soul power.

This is precisely why the Dragon Pill is considered a supreme treasure in the Soul Master world. For the vast majority of Soul Masters, the biggest problem they face after reaching the later stages of cultivation is physical strength.

Especially after reaching the level of Super Douluo, in most cases, they haven't even touched the level of comprehension before they enter a bottleneck because they can't withstand the even greater amount of soul power.

To fully unleash the extraordinary properties of the Dragon Pill, the fusion process cannot simply integrate it into the soul power cycle. Instead, its essence must be guided to thoroughly integrate into the depths of the bloodline, fundamentally transforming the physique and allowing the human body to possess certain dragon abilities, thus transcending the purely human realm.

However, Kong Tianxu, through sheer chance, managed to perfectly unleash the effects of the Dragon Pill. Compared to Huo Yuhao's nine cuts and eighteen holes in the original story, he suffered no damage during the absorption process, but his body became much more ethereal, and he had no soul power left at all.

All of these factors combined have ultimately created his current powerful physique, comparable to that of a Limit Douluo!

Even so, he only absorbed a small portion of the essence of the Dragon Pill's power; the vast majority of the remaining energy was still highly compressed within his body.

Kong Tianxu whispered in Xue Di's ear, coaxing her:

"Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ignored you like that the other day."

He shouldn't have mentioned it, because his words caused Xue Di's expression, which had been somewhat stunned by surprise, to change instantly. Her delicate body, which had been gradually softening, seemed to have been ignited by some kind of memory. Her fair face flushed with an alluring blush at a visible speed, spreading all the way to her crystal-clear ears and even her neck turning a light pink.

She glared at Kong Tianxu angrily, her eyes revealing an unprecedented emotion.

Seeing that she couldn't escape and didn't want to really hurt Kong Tianxu, Xue Di suddenly became surrounded by cold air, and countless tiny ice crystals and snowflakes danced wildly in the air. Her figure also quickly became transparent.

"Brother, you should cultivate on your own!"

A nearly sobbing complaint drifted through the air, and her figure had completely vanished, leaving only a wisp of cold chill slowly dissipating in the room.

Kong Tianxu's arm, which was about to move, froze in mid-air. His arms felt empty, which made him smile bitterly.

He shook his head, about to begin his cultivation, when suddenly, a belated thought flashed through his mind—

Xue'er remained hidden in the Wutong Pavilion to protect herself, never leaving her side, witnessing everything that happened inside...

Kong Tianxu's face immediately showed a complicated expression of being both amused and exasperated. However, he naturally wouldn't let such a thing disturb his mind for too long. He quickly exhaled a breath of stale air and temporarily suppressed his slightly chaotic thoughts.

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation couch, Kong Tianxu closed his eyes, held his breath, and began to fully circulate his soul power to digest the vast energy he had gained on this trip, stabilizing the surge in power and the new source of flame.

As he breathed deeply and rhythmically, a faint light suddenly appeared in his dantian.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of pure and noble pale golden light, as if a seal had been broken, surged out from the dantian and quickly spread to the limbs and bones.

This golden energy was completely integrated into the depths of his bloodline, as if it were an integral part of him.

In just a few breaths, all the meridians in Kong Tianxu's body had turned into a dazzling gold. Even the flowing blood, the pulsating internal organs, and even the strongest bones all showed a pale gold color after being thoroughly soaked and transformed by the essence of the Dragon Pill.

From the outside, Kong Tianxu appeared solemn and dignified, his entire body shimmering with golden light, like a deity descended to earth. Even more astonishing was the appearance of fine, delicate, illusory scales beginning to emerge on his body.

The scales were also pure gold, as if sculpted from the finest gold, with an inner radiance. They gradually solidified, growing larger and connecting with each other, eventually covering Kong Tianxu's entire body except for his face.

Dragon scales! These are the scales of the Holy Dragon of Light, and they are truly formed from flesh and blood, not from condensed soul power.

These golden colors are not only an external manifestation, but are also undergoing the deepest fusion with Kong Tianxu's physical body, becoming an inseparable part of his body.

A series of deep and majestic dragon roars began to emanate from the depths of his bones, meridians, and even blood.

The sound was not loud, but it was deep and resonant, as if it contained some ancient and vast power. It rose and fell with the tides of Kong Tianxu's soul power circulating throughout the body, one sound after another, far and endless, as if it would never end.

Inside the dormitory, the atmosphere was heavy and deep, with only the continuous low dragon roars, accompanied by the sound of the soul power flowing like a surging river within Kong Tianxu's body, weaving together a heart-stirring symphony of transformation.

In a daze, it seemed as if an ancient dragon, dormant for ten thousand years, had truly awakened within his body, stretching out its ancient form that blotted out the sky. Every dragon scale was breathing in the essence of heaven and earth, and every dragon bone was growing and strengthening, radiating a majestic aura that commanded the instinctive awe of all things and reigned supreme over the world.

Golden Dragon Bloodline, Silver Dragon Bloodline, Ultimate Ice Attribute, Ultimate Fire Attribute, and the even more powerful Light Attribute brought by the Dragon Pill.

Everything is ready; only the final surge of spiritual power is needed for his Silver Dragon Martial Soul to complete its final transformation before reaching the supreme Lord of the Heavens, truly—

Soaring into the sky!

……

A month later.

After disappearing for three whole years, the Flame Demon Ma Xiaotao has made a powerful return from the Star Dou Great Forest with the power of a Seven-Ring Soul Saint of Ultimate Fire.

The turmoil that had just subsided due to a series of previous events at Shrek Academy was stirred up once again.

On her first day back at Shrek Academy, she swiftly challenged several renowned top experts from the inner courtyard, seemingly with the intention of comparing herself to Kong Tianxu.

A Soul Saint with a seven-ringed ultimate martial soul can be considered a top-tier expert at the level of an ordinary Title Douluo. Even among the remaining Soul Saints in the Inner Academy, who are elites nurtured by Shrek Academy's resources, almost none are top-tier geniuses capable of fighting beyond their level at the seven-ringed level, which is considered a high-level Soul Master.

Faced with Ma Xiaotao, who had been dormant for three years and was bursting with pent-up anger, he naturally crumbled at the first touch and was defeated decisively.

In particular, several people who had been critical of her loss in the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament were thoroughly roasted by her phoenix flames.

Golden-red phoenix flames swept across the inner courtyard's martial arts arena, burning away all doubts and disdain.

With her outstanding achievements, Ma Xiaotao proclaimed to the entire Shrek Academy, and to a certain specific person, that the genius girl who was once troubled by the evil fire had been reborn and returned as a queen in a more powerful and perfect form.

Chapter 211 Playing with the Moon, Taming Birds, Dreaming of the Mortal World

Poseidon Island, dormitory area.

Aside from topics that particularly interest him, Kong Tianxu rarely attends classes anymore. He spends most of his time cultivating in his dormitory or assisting Elder Cui with the work of organizing and compiling ancient texts.

During this process, he gained many opportunities to enter and exit Shrek's secret library. Occasionally, he would sneak out a rare manuscript or two to study, which was quite common.

Old Cui may have been fully aware of this, but since he would return the book exactly as it was after each reading, he turned a blind eye.

Shrek Academy has always been quite pragmatic, or rather, very shrewd in this regard. They are always exceptionally lenient towards students with powerful backgrounds, extraordinary talent, and who are difficult to control.

I wonder if they would still be able to sit idly by if they knew that Kong Tianxu's taking the books was just a pretext, and that his real action was to use tangible spiritual power to replicate the contents of these books.

What about the more basic content? Of course, we'll leave it to the senior sister who's already an inner court teaching assistant!

"Tianxu, stop fooling around. How am I supposed to teach you like this? Aren't you afraid that girl named Meng Hongchen will barge in again like last time?"

Zhang Lexuan tried her best to suppress the soft, disordered moans in her throat, her hands barely maintaining a cultivation hand seal, pressed lightly against her lower abdomen. A thin layer of silver mist rippled around her body with her breath, but it was gradually becoming scattered.

However, her posture at this moment was far from elegant. She trembled slightly in Kong Tianxu's embrace, her slender back curving into a breathtaking arc. Her figure-hugging, moon-white cheongsam with subtle patterns was already soaked with fine, fragrant sweat, clinging tightly to her skin and outlining her clearly defined, alluring abs. The pale blue background contrasted beautifully with the porcelain white, creating a silent, seductive allure in the shifting light and shadow.

Kong Tianxu continued to move his palm according to the trajectory of Zhang Lexuan's soul power, seemingly trying to comprehend its mysteries.

However, the moment he opened his mouth, his mischievous intent was immediately apparent:

"Didn't Senior Sister say that when using the Soul Burning Secret Technique, one must be calm and focused, and not be misled by any external interference? What difference does it make whether Xiaomeng comes or not? Besides, we have the Martial Soul Fusion Technique between us, and with our bodies close together, I can better feel how your soul power is circulating."

After overcoming the initial academic pressure of entering the inner academy, Meng Hongchen would visit Kong Tianxu whenever she had free time, almost accidentally catching Zhang Lexuan in her embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan used her experience to her advantage and quickly hid herself, thus avoiding the most embarrassing situation.

"That's true, but there are no veins in the heart, and why do I have to squeeze it..."

Zhang Lexuan was still biting her lip in protest. Kong Tianxu ignored her and, looking at the already messy and simple hair bun in front of him, suddenly became playful and gently pulled out the hairpin that was holding the hair in place.

It is a blue jade moon hairpin, with an outer layer of jade that shimmers with multiple colors of indigo, blue and purple. It is made from natural aquamarine jade from the coastal islands of the Douling Empire. It is said that it is not exposed to the moon for a day, but is loved by the moon every night. It is nourished by the moonlight and can purify the mind and spirit.

Inside lies a thin golden thread, one of the three irreplaceable hairs on the crown of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Blazing Fire Monkey. It contains a trace of pure yang fire, capable of tempering the coldness of moonlight.

As soon as the hairpin fell, Zhang Lexuan's long, jet-black hair cascaded down, draping over her shoulders and behind her.

Against the backdrop of that wet, clinging cheongsam, a touch of breathtaking languor and allure was added to its elegant and luxurious appearance.

Concealed by her long, flowing hair, Kong Tianxu's movements appeared even more secretive and daring. Instantly, Zhang Lexuan's delicate toes, hidden within her thin stockings, involuntarily curled up, her insteps tensing, emitting a suppressed whimper.

When she arrived today, she was wearing a neat and oversized beige trench coat, and her cascading black hair was tied up with a blue jade hairpin. She was gentle yet capable, with a noble temperament like a fairy in the moon, making her seem unattainable.

But at this moment, the trench coat, like the slender high heels barely held on by the toes, was about to sway precariously and was about to fall completely to the ground.

"Kong Tianxu, you get out here right now!"

As the scorching waves tore through the air with a whooshing sound, a clear female voice rang out from outside the door.

"It's Xiao Tao." Zhang Lexuan quickly turned her head away, gently covering the few glistening tears that had fallen from the corner of her mouth.
