Chapter 67 You think you're worthy to play with fire in front of me?
"What a joke, taking Fatty's soul skill head-on." Although Dai Mubai usually mocked Ma Hongjun's earthy martial soul, he knew that while Fatty's martial soul attribute wasn't at its absolute peak, it was still top-tier among fire-attribute martial souls. The reason Tang San's Blue Silver Grass wasn't burned was because it grew wildly as if it didn't need any soul power, but what did Xiao Yan's martial soul have to rely on?
Even Tang San knew to rely on a continuous supply of Blue Silver Grass to weaken the fire, yet Xiao Yan's martial soul actually went straight for the fat man's soul skill.
"Wishful thinking." Yu Tianheng complained to Yu Xiaogang, but his uncle did not have the same amused expression as the people around him, because Yu Xiaogang knew that Xiao Yan's martial soul attribute was fire, which was comparable to Ma Hongjun's.
The Phoenix Fire Ray that Ma Hongjun spat out was swallowed whole by Agumon, who let out a satisfied burp as white steam rose from its mouth.
"What?"
Ma Hongjun found it unbelievable. When his martial spirit was out of control, it had even blown up houses. How come today he encountered grass that couldn't be burned through, and a guy who swallowed his soul skill whole?
"Agumon, he seems to be expecting something. It would be impolite not to reciprocate."
Agumon smiled, seemingly understanding, and began to conjure flames in his mouth. He tilted his head back and fired a fireball in Ma Hongjun's direction.
"Watch out, Fatty." Oscar saw the incoming fireball and quickly flew away from Ma Hongjun, but still warned him.
Ma Hongjun naturally saw the flames heading his way, but his pride as a Phoenix Martial Soul prevented him from backing down. He actually unleashed his first Soul Skill, empowered by his Phoenix Rebirth, to clash with Agumon's energy.
However, an absurd result occurred: Ma Hongjun's weak flame, upon colliding with Agumon's fireball, was actually swept along by the flame's trajectory and burned towards himself.
"So hot!" This was Ma Hongjun's first impression after coming into contact with the flames. The temperature of these flames was far beyond what his Phoenix Fire could compare to. He even felt that the surrounding air began to thin when the flames of the other party's martial soul rushed towards him.
"Bang!"
Scorched by the flames, Ma Hongjun lost control and crashed heavily to the ground. The flames that hadn't yet died down on his body now clung to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. The Blue Silver Grass, which hadn't shown any signs of weakening despite Ma Hongjun's repeated fire attacks, suddenly burst into flames on its own.
Soon, only withered weeds and the stench of burning remained on the ground.
Ma Hongjun looked at Xiao Yan with some fear. The moment the flames touched him, he felt a real sense of being swallowed up by them.
"You dare to play with fire in front of me?"
Standing beside Xiao Yan was a waist-sized Agumon, who looked at Ma Hongjun huddled on the ground and said in a cold tone.
"We're not playing anymore, we're not playing anymore, Shrek Academy will throw..." Before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, Dai Mubai, who had just landed back on the court, kicked him off the field.
"His words don't count, the match continues." After letting Oscar leave him a recovery sausage, Dai Mubai also made him leave the stage.
"I told you to control the firepower a bit more, or you'll burn him to a frenzy." Xiao Yan muttered softly to Agumon. Agumon shrugged. He had already reduced the temperature of the flames to less than a third of the normal level. Who knew that this little fat guy, who clearly had a fire-attribute martial soul, was so easily burned?
"Mistress, you all should go down too. It seems the other side's leader wants to fight me."
Tang San nodded in agreement. After all, Xiao Yan's fire attack had completely destroyed the Blue Silver Grass he had carefully prepared for his second soul skill. Continuing the fight would only result in him wearing down Dai Mubai, so there was no point.
Ye Lingling, however, looked surprised and exclaimed "Ah!" Although the audience thought that Ye Lingling, who had already activated her martial soul, must have replenished Tang San and the others immediately, which was why they were not harmed.
But Ye Lingling knew that apart from activating her martial soul and consuming very little soul power to maintain it, she hadn't done anything at all. Moreover, standing in Tang San's blue silver grass, her soul power was still faintly recovering.
This Xiao Yan is actually telling me and Tang San to step down from the stage together.
"My Nine Heart Begonia has healing effects. No matter how serious your injury is, it can heal you." Ye Lingling figured it out. This student named Xiao Yan didn't ask about martial souls or anything like that after he learned her name. Obviously, he didn't understand her and didn't think about cooperating with her in battle.
So at this moment, she herself activated the effect of her martial soul.
Xiao Yan shook his head: "I know about the Nine Heart Begonia. It's an extremely rare healing-type martial soul across the entire continent. Although it only has one soul skill, its healing effect is already incredibly powerful."
"Then why are you still..." Ye Lingling originally wanted to tell me not to make a move, but then she thought it might be inappropriate, since this was just a friendly match.
"Their leader has already sent two of his members into the fray, so there's no need for us to outnumber them." Xiao Yan wasn't intimidated at all. He would accept a fair fight, even if it meant facing three Shrek Academy members against him.
"Why don't you say the other person is level 38 and you're only level 35?" Ye Lingling seemed to be competing with Xiao Yan. After all, they weren't familiar with each other, and she was being asked to leave the field before she could even play a significant role. She was somewhat indignant.
"Oh dear, this is such a hassle to explain, Agumon!" Xiao Yan stretched, ignoring Dai Mubai, who was already possessed by his martial spirit and whose muscles were swollen due to the White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
The first yellow spirit ring lit up on his body, and Agumon used the same trick as before, brewing flames in its mouth. Seeing that his opponent was ready to attack, Dai Mubai excitedly activated his first spirit skill, and a white light shield covered his body, clearly indicating that he was ready to defend.
However, the flames amplified by Xiao Yan's first soul skill did not spray towards Dai Mubai, but instead landed on the competition stage not far from Ye Lingling.
The scorching heat, carried by a gentle breeze, melted a large section of the ground. It's worth noting that the academy's battle arena was constructed from rare metals to support the students' competitive spirit. Its hardness and resistance to deformation are beyond question, yet it was melted by a fireball from Xiao Yan's martial spirit.
Ye Lingling glanced at the field that had just been scorched by flames with lingering fear, and consciously stepped off the competition platform. She understood that the other side didn't need her at all.
"If you have teammates, they'll get in the way during the fight. What if they get hurt?" Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction as the other person left.
On the stands, the students witnessed Xiao Yan's flames nearly burning through the competition stage, and immediately began to make a fuss. The three instructors were also discussing it heatedly.
"There's no mistake, this child is the Ultimate Fire." Meng Shenji's eyes were full of admiration.
"You don't understand combat at all. Even if such a powerful soul skill doesn't deplete the opponent's soul power, you can't use it to call on your teammates. Persuading Ye Lingling to leave the field is not something a soul master with combat experience should do," Bai Baoshan complained.
"This child, since he dares to do this, it means he has the confidence. It's a pity that he is already a disciple of Master Yanxiao, otherwise I really wanted to give him some pointers."
"But the result of his actions is simply that the opponent will attack his physical body."
Xiao Yan has a second soul skill that allows him to switch places with Agumon at crucial moments, so he is not worried at all that Dai Mubai will switch his attack target to him.
Next, all I need to do is humiliate Shrek and let them know that there are monsters beyond monsters.
