Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The entire arena was filled with Ma Xiaotao's blazing, golden-red flames. The terrifying waves of fire surged, rapidly raising the temperature on the battle platform.

Four soul rings — two yellow, two purple, and two black — appeared on Ma Xiaotao. Although both were six-ring Soul Emperors, Ma Xiaotao's power was leagues ahead of Zhou Yi. This was the strength of Shrek Academy's top inner court disciple.

"Interesting. You managed to withstand me for this long," Ma Xiaotao smirked. Qianran's combat power was indeed beyond her expectations. He was just a mere three-ring Soul Elder, yet his fighting capabilities were surprisingly robust.

In truth, Ma Xiaotao was quite pleased.

Qianran's angelic martial soul had the attribute to suppress evil flames, so Ma Xiaotao didn't have to worry about her own dark fire flaring uncontrollably at a critical moment. Because of this, she could unleash her full strength without hesitation.

With a swift movement, Ma Xiaotao's legs ignited, and golden-red flames surged out from beneath her feet.

Her speed suddenly escalated to such a level that the air around her erupted in violent bursts as she passed, producing sharp whistling sounds.

Her soul rings glowed brightly, illuminating her legs with an astonishing light.

Her speed now rivaled that of a Soul Sage, and even some Soul Douluos couldn't compare to her current burst of speed.

This was clearly a soul skill attached to Ma Xiaotao's legs, meaning she possessed soul bones in both legs, a rarity in the martial soul world. As one of the most elite disciples of the Martial Soul Department, Ma Xiaotao already had two soul bones.

"What a terrifying power. I didn't realize Ma Xiaotao was this strong. As a Soul Emperor, I might not even withstand three moves against her," Zhou Yi was astounded by Ma Xiaotao's strength. Even among the inner court students, there were differences in strength, and Ma Xiaotao was undoubtedly one of the top students.

In terms of talent, Ma Xiaotao was second only to Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan was older and naturally more powerful.

Had it not been for the interference of her dark fire or if she could completely control it, Ma Xiaotao's potential would be on par with Zhang Lexuan.

In the original story, Ma Xiaotao, who was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult, became a formidable Evil Soul Master. As a Soul Sage-level Evil Soul Master, her battle power was strong enough to rival even Title Douluos.

Her Evil Phoenix martial soul had unparalleled destructive power.

"Without the mental burden of suppressing her dark fire, Xiaotao's full-force combat power is indeed formidable. But Qianran's strength has increased as well…," Zhang Lexuan mused, observing the battle. Qianran was agilely dodging Ma Xiaotao's attacks, even causing her some trouble. Watching this, Zhang Lexuan's eyes sparkled with admiration.

With her Phoenix martial soul, Ma Xiaotao's power clearly exceeded that of Ma Hongjun, whose martial soul had evolved from a pheasant to a pure Phoenix after ascending to godhood. Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix was naturally stronger from the outset.

It was possible that Ma Xiaotao was a distant descendant of Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun. Bai Chenxiang hadn't ascended to godhood, and Ma Hongjun, as a second-level god, lacked the right to bring anyone from Douluo Continent to the Divine Realm. Therefore, Ma Xiaotao might be Bai Chenxiang's legacy after many generations.

When he watched Douluo Dalu, Qianran had liked Bai Chenxiang. He felt a pang of disappointment when she met her end. Being with Bai Chenxiang's descendant was as close as he could get to her.

"Zhang Lexuan?" Zhou Yi was surprised to see her arrive.

"Is she here for Bei Bei?" she wondered.

"Don't worry, Teacher Zhou Yi; I'm not here to cause trouble for Qianran," Zhang Lexuan replied with a wry smile. Truthfully, she had missed that mischievous boy after not seeing him for so long. Since he left, her life had once again felt mundane.

Reassured, Zhou Yi nodded, turning her gaze back to the battle platform.

Ma Xiaotao had closed in on Qianran, unleashing an explosive force that created a towering golden-red flame column over ten meters high, with a resounding phoenix call echoing within it. The flaming figure of a Phoenix circled the towering column.

Ma Xiaotao's combat style was always simple yet brutal.

Her short-burst combat power was unmatched.

"Come on, Senior Sister Xiaotao, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Are you taking out some personal grudge?"

Even Qianran was startled.

The terrifying heat scorched his soul power. Ma Xiaotao's flames weren't ultimate fire, but they had the potential to evolve into it.

His clothes were tattered, yet he managed to activate his third soul skill just in time.

With his incredible healing ability, a surge of soul power restored his injuries almost instantly.

This battle highlighted the true strength of his third soul skill.

"What's going on? After all that, you're not even hurt?" Ma Xiaotao was shocked. She'd worried about accidentally injuring him, but seeing him standing there unharmed left her utterly dumbfounded.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

Even a Soul Master of comparable strength would have been wounded. How could Qianran be perfectly fine?

"Qianran's healing skill is this effective?" Zhou Yi was in awe. She'd known about Qianran's healing abilities, but seeing his severe injuries vanish in an instant left her in shock.

Even the academy's Soul Douluo healers weren't this fast.

"Qianran's third soul ring skill is healing?" Zhang Lexuan was equally astonished. An angel martial soul with healing abilities was unheard of in history. If Qianran kept healing himself, wouldn't Xiaotao suffer?

Of course, such a powerful skill would consume an immense amount of soul power. But facing a seemingly indestructible opponent was no easy feat.

When she first encountered Qianran, she'd also been bested by him. Although she had surrendered voluntarily, her repeated failures at his hands had already marked her defeat.

And Xiaotao had it even worse. Unlike last time, Qianran wasn't dodging but was confronting Xiaotao head-on.

You couldn't judge Qianran by conventional standards; otherwise, you'd fall for his tricks. He may have seemed like a low-year student, but in reality, he was strong enough to rank among the inner court elites.
