"Soul Sage?" Wang Dong'er furrowed her brows, but when she saw that tall and upright figure, the worry on her delicate face gradually faded. She understood his strength. Even if Ma Xiaotao was a Soul Sage, she… probably wouldn't be able to threaten him. After all, he had a natural restraint against Ma Xiaotao. "But she's still a Soul Sage. Su Yu, don't get careless." Wang Dong'er's beautiful eyes were fixed on the battlefield in the distance. Her jade-like hands clenched slightly in front of her. ... Golden-red flames surged around Ma Xiaotao, her aura imposing. The Evil Fire Phoenix was already an extremely powerful top-tier beast martial soul. Combined with Ma Xiaotao's Soul Sage-level cultivation, she radiated an overwhelming presence. She was only two meters away from Su Yu, and the intense heat rushed toward him. Yet, Su Yu remained smiling, completely unfazed, as if the scorching temperature did not affect him. Ma Xiaotao stared at Su Yu, her pink eyes flickering with firelight. "Su Yu, this is your last chance. What exactly did you tell her?" Su Yu replied impatiently, "If you want to fight, then fight. Stop talking nonsense." Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath. In the next moment, the flames around her erupted violently. The already scorching golden-red fire surged higher, and a torrent of flames shot toward Su Yu. Su Yu slightly tilted his body, dodging the fiery assault. Ma Xiaotao's first soul ring lit up. She opened her lips, and a golden-red fire streak shot straight at Su Yu. First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line. The golden-red flames were searing hot, even Su Yu could feel the heat. Su Yu gently waved his right hand, releasing a chilling force that instantly froze the flames. Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly and lunged at Su Yu. Simultaneously, her second and third soul rings lit up. Waves of fierce flames erupted from her body, and enormous fiery wings and a magnificent phoenix tail unfolded behind her. The already scorching Evil Phoenix Fire surged in intensity under the effects of Bathing Fire Phoenix and Phoenix Wing Soar. Ma Xiaotao charged forward. In an instant, she was right in front of Su Yu. She was surrounded by raging flames, resembling a massive fireball, as she lunged at Su Yu—almost as if she wanted to embrace him along with the fire. As she neared, Su Yu felt as though he was being engulfed by a firestorm. The terrifying heat curled his hair. Ma Xiaotao spread her arms wide as if to grab Su Yu, but the searing pain from the heat made it clear that this was a deadly attack. At the critical moment, a surge of ice-blue light erupted from Su Yu's body. An invisible barrier formed around him, blocking the waves of heat. Before Ma Xiaotao could react, Su Yu's ice-covered hand had already reached out. Ignoring the temperature of the Evil Phoenix Fire, he firmly grasped Ma Xiaotao's wrist. "Sizzle!" The collision of ice and fire produced a sharp sound, with white mist rising into the air. Su Yu held on tightly and gave a forceful pull. Ma Xiaotao instantly lost her balance and had to twist her body in midair. Seizing the opportunity, Su Yu pivoted and struck Ma Xiaotao's abdomen with his left palm. With a heavy impact, Ma Xiaotao was sent flying more than ten meters. She tumbled midair but managed to stabilize herself with the help of her wings. Wiping away a trace of blood from the corner of her lips, Ma Xiaotao's eyes burned with intense fighting spirit. "You're still this strong. From now on, I won't hold back. Be careful not to get hurt." Ma Xiaotao hovered above, looking down at Su Yu. Su Yu replied calmly, "Just attack. If I get hurt, it's because I'm not skilled enough." "But... I don't think you have that ability." "You're still as arrogant as ever. Then watch closely!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes gradually turned crimson as her sixth soul ring lit up. Hundreds of fireballs rained down on Su Yu like a fiery storm. Compared to two years ago, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Meteor Shower had significantly increased in power—both in number and individual strength. The overwhelming barrage covered nearly half the battlefield, completely enclosing Su Yu while also melting the lotus leaves around him. With no lotus leaves left to stand on, how would Su Yu maintain his footing? "So that's your plan, huh?" "But did you forget? This is Sea God Lake, and I use ice." With a light chuckle, Su Yu raised two fingers like a sword and swung his hand. A boundless sword aura surged forth, enveloping the lake water. Each droplet of water carried a sliver of sword intent, surging like a mighty tidal wave. Boom! The entire Sea God Lake seemed to tremble. The sharp sword intent swept through the battlefield, forming countless water dragons that roared forward. The Phoenix Meteor Shower was instantly engulfed, and the high temperature created a thick mist that obscured the surroundings. Yet the overbearing sword intent remained unstoppable. Ma Xiaotao's expression changed as she quickly retreated, but the tidal wave was even faster. Despite using her soul power to defend, she was still struck and sent flying, coughing up blood. ... Yan Shaozhe abruptly stood up in shock, and the other elders also looked alarmed. "What an incredible self-created soul skill!" Xian Lin'er was stunned. With just one move, Ma Xiaotao had been completely overwhelmed! The sheer sword intent of this attack sent shivers down her spine. "That was an incredibly domineering strike. He even held back a significant portion of his power—otherwise, Ma Xiaotao would have been severely injured." Yan Shaozhe's face darkened. He was deeply shocked by Su Yu's sudden sword strike. Such a powerful self-created soul skill… Was it developed by Su Yu himself? If not, where did he learn it from? Why had they never heard of it before? "A magnificent, overwhelming strike—this sword move is extraordinary." Mu En slightly opened his drowsy eyes and spoke indifferently. Upon hearing Mu En's words, the many elders present simultaneously changed their expressions. Even Elder Mu had spoken so highly of it? At that moment, their gazes toward Su Yu became even more solemn. ... "Cough, cough..." Ma Xiaotao coughed up a small mouthful of blood. The phoenix fire wings behind her flapped rapidly, barely keeping her afloat in midair. Her face was slightly pale, and her beautiful eyes still carried lingering shock. He didn't even use his martial soul. He didn't use any weapons either. Just a casual slash… and it held such immense power? Ma Xiaotao flew closer to Su Yu, looking at him with a complicated expression. By now, the lotus leaves on the battlefield had been almost destroyed, leaving only a single intact one beneath Su Yu's feet. In a soft voice, Ma Xiaotao asked, "Can you tell me the name of that self-created soul skill?" Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Yu casually replied, "This move is called—Moon-Fang Piercer of the Heavens." "Moon-Fang Piercer of the Heavens?" Ma Xiaotao murmured the name softly. Her eyes flickered with admiration, stubbornness, frustration, and appreciation—all kinds of emotions mixed. "It's a very powerful move. You are truly talented." "No need for all that talk. Are you conceding?" Ma Xiaotao shook her head. "I know you held back earlier, but I haven't chosen to admit defeat yet." Su Yu remained expressionless. "Then let's continue." Ma Xiaotao took a deep look at Su Yu before softly replying, "Alright." As soon as her voice fell, the golden-red flames around her surged to an unprecedented level. The seventh soul ring, which had remained motionless all this time, finally lit up. Seventh Soul Skill: Evil Fire Phoenix True Form. Under the shroud of golden-red flames, Ma Xiaotao gradually transformed into a massive Evil Fire Phoenix. Martial Soul True Body—the trump card of a Soul Sage. Once activated, all attributes would skyrocket. At this moment, Ma Xiaotao had entered her strongest state. As she unleashed her Martial Soul True Body, Su Yu's expression also turned more serious. A freezing aura spread out—his Ice Emperor Martial Soul took over. Ice-blue light radiated outward, sending an overwhelming chill surging through the air. Sea God Lake began to freeze over with layers of solid ice. The lotus leaves had been destroyed, but Su Yu could construct a new battlefield at will. Then, his soul rings flickered, appearing one by one. However, he deliberately concealed his true soul ring colors—after all, they were too shocking, and there was no need to draw unnecessary attention. His first four soul rings remained black, but his fifth soul ring… It shone red. Even so, this sight alone was already shocking enough. The moment the fifth red soul ring appeared, the entire audience erupted. "A... a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?!" On the inner court's side, Wu Ming's face changed dramatically—she simply couldn't believe what she was seeing. Han Ruoruo also took a deep breath, her gaze filled with shock and uncertainty. They already knew that Su Yu's first four soul rings were at the ten-thousand-year level—Ma Xiaotao had mentioned it before. But who could have imagined that Su Yu's fifth soul ring would be a hundred-thousand-year soul ring? A hundred-thousand-year fifth soul ring—was that even possible? Even with all their knowledge and experience, they had never seen anything like this before. Meng Hongchen giggled sweetly, her delicate face filled with pride and admiration. "Brother, did you see that? Yu is incredible!" Her brother, Xiao Hongchen, was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, utterly speechless. "No way… this guy… is this even human?" "Can you at least act like a normal person?!" Xiao Hongchen looked like he was about to cry. He had always dreamed of catching up to Su Yu… but how was he supposed to do that now? A hundred-thousand-year-fifth soul ring—how could he possibly compete? ... Yan Shaozhe's expression changed drastically, and many of the elders also turned grim. They had already been shocked moments ago, yet now they were stunned all over again. They were witnessing something beyond all expectations. "This… is a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?" Qian Duoduo asked uncertainly. The blood-red radiance was so striking that it made his heart tremble. "It's a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. You're not mistaken." Yan Shaozhe swallowed dryly, his voice somewhat strained. The continent was filled with powerful individuals, but he had never heard of anyone who possessed a hundred-thousand-year fifth soul ring. Even Mu En had only obtained a hundred-thousand-year soul ring by the time of his seventh soul ring. Yet Su Yu had somehow achieved this with his fifth? Was he even human?! "Could it be fake? Some kind of illusion?" Cai Mei'er asked, still in disbelief. All eyes turned toward Mu En. Mu En shook his head and calmly said, "It's real. That is indeed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. The aura is unmistakable."
