It's over.
Xu Sanshi stepped in front of Tang Ya, shielding her behind him.
He summoned his Xuanming Turtle, preparing to block the shockwaves from the clash between the two.
In Xu Sanshi's view, Bei Bei's brother-in-law was about to suffer badly this time.
Whether in the outer court or inner court, anyone targeted by Ma Xiaotao usually ended up trembling in fear.
"Let's go to the inner court and find Senior Sister!"
Tang Ya was deeply worried about Tang Feng's safety.
Although Bei Bei had once said that Tang Feng had defeated the inner court's Senior Sister during a spar—
Tang Ya believed that it had only been a same-level battle.
The current Ma Xiaotao had clearly lost all rationality and was trying to force Tang Feng to suppress her evil fire.
Sure enough, there were very few good people in Shrek Academy.
As for Tang Feng making Titled Douluo suffer losses?
Tang Ya had never truly believed that.
She thought it was only because those Titled Douluo didn't dare to harm him seriously.
"By the time we get back, the fight will already be over."
Xu Sanshi shook his head.
With their speed, going to the inner court and returning would take too long—the battle would already be decided.
They might as well wait for Shrek Academy experts to sense the disturbance and come investigate on their own.
"First Soul Skill — Phoenix Fireline!"
Ma Xiaotao's first soul ring lit up.
She spat out a stream of phoenix flames, shooting them straight toward Tang Feng.
Facing this Soul Ancestor junior, she didn't immediately unleash her full power—
Instead, she tested him step by step.
Tang Feng pressed his left hand forward.
The Phoenix Fireline was blocked just outside his palm.
He didn't expand his Divine Domain to its maximum—
only letting it adhere closely to his hand.
To outsiders, it looked as though he was relying purely on the attribute suppression of Extreme Ice to restrain the Phoenix Evil Fire.
Tang Feng wasn't sure whether members of the Sea God Pavilion were secretly observing the battle.
"Blue Silver Overlord Thrust!"
Tang Feng's third soul ring lit up.
Holding the Blue Silver Battle Spear, he easily split Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flames apart.
"Spider Web Bind!"
Tang Feng grabbed forward with his left hand.
A spider web woven from Blue Silver Grass instantly wrapped around Ma Xiaotao.
With Absolute Initiative, all of his binding-type skills landed instantly—
The opponent had no reaction time at all.
Even against a Titled Douluo, Tang Feng's binding and entangling skills were unavoidable.
"Second Soul Skill — Bathing Fire Phoenix!"
"Third Soul Skill — Phoenix Wing Sky Soar!"
Ma Xiaotao's entire body ignited with Phoenix Evil Fire.
Brilliant, massive flame wings and a phoenix tail formed behind her, granting her true flight.
Not only did the temperature of her flames skyrocket—
Even their attack range expanded dramatically.
Whoosh!
Using her phoenix wings, Ma Xiaotao shattered the Blue Silver Grass restraints.
She flapped her wings and charged straight at Tang Feng, initiating close combat.
As a Beast Martial Soul master, her physique far surpassed that of plant-type soul masters—
Not to mention, she was a Soul Emperor.
"Blue Silver Overlord Thrust!"
Tang Feng activated two Traits simultaneously.
Imperial Armor-Shatter and Weak Point Insight both fused into the Blue Silver Battle Spear.
A towering phantom several meters tall appeared behind Tang Feng.
It grasped a massive Blue Silver Battle Spear and, following Tang Feng's motion, hurled it forward.
The two spears merged into one midair—
bathed in crackling purple lightning, radiating an eerie aura.
The phantom behind Tang Feng was formed entirely from Destruction Power.
He had fused it into the Blue Silver Battle Spear forged from Extreme Life Power.
When the two opposing forces repelled each other—
They produced a terrifying, explosive effect.
Whoosh!
The Blue Silver Battle Spear did not trigger Absolute Initiative.
This was Tang Feng's first real test of the skill's true power.
Previously, even when he used this move, Life and Destruction were released separately—
never causing violent reactions.
Crackle—crackle—crackle!
The Blue Silver Battle Spear streaked toward Ma Xiaotao, wrapped in purple lightning.
Bolts of violet thunder carried the majestic will of the heavens, as though they could annihilate all tangible matter.
"So terrifying…"
Snow Empress raised her eyes within Tang Feng's spiritual sea, watching the battle.
This was also her first time realizing that Blue Silver Overlord Thrust could be used this way.
The two forces that were once difficult to fuse—
were now deliberately made to repel each other by Tang Feng,
causing the soul skill's power to increase geometrically.
"He really is a genius."
Ice Empress clicked her tongue.
Though she often argued with Tang Feng,
she had to admit—
He was an unparalleled prodigy.
Not only in cultivation, but also in comprehension, bordering on monstrous.
"Phoenix Fireline!"
Ma Xiaotao unleashed phoenix flames again.
With the amplification of her second and third soul skills,
The temperature of her flames had become terrifying.
Tang Feng, however, only used Extreme Ice to protect his body—
He hadn't even activated his Extreme Ice martial soul.
Instead, he was using a healing-type martial soul to confront the phoenix flames head-on.
Hiss!
The Blue Silver Battle Spear tore through the air.
The intertwining of Life and Destruction produced an extreme repulsive force—
creating an effect where one plus one far exceeded two.
The phoenix flames couldn't melt these two supreme attributes.
They were cleaved apart, split cleanly down the middle by the spear.
Phoenix Evil Fire scattered to both sides, rushing past harmlessly.
"How is this possible?!"
"Fifth Soul Skill — Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike!"
Ma Xiaotao no longer dared to underestimate Tang Feng.
As a Soul Emperor, her first three soul skills had failed to suppress him—
And Tang Feng had only used three soul skills himself.
She released a small flame phoenix with a wingspan of barely one meter, charging straight at the Blue Silver Battle Spear.
This was her strongest single-target attack.
Within the inner court, very few could withstand it.
Unless Tang Feng used Extreme Ice, there was no way he could block it.
"Explode."
Tang Feng calmly judged the timing.
He detonated the Blue Silver Battle Spear instantly.
A massive Blue Silver Grass phantom manifested in midair—
Its body bathed in blazing purple lightning, dazzling and overwhelming.
BOOOOM—!
Countless arcs of lightning, flames, and emerald light intertwined violently.
When the smoke finally cleared—
A hundred-meter-wide crater had appeared on the outskirts of Shrek City.
The crater was scorched black, with residual purple lightning still flickering within.
"Why… why did this happen?"
Ma Xiaotao couldn't accept the outcome.
The explosion had blasted her back more than ten steps—
Yet Tang Feng still stood unmoved at his original position.
It was as if the shockwave hadn't affected him at all.
"Entangle."
Tang Feng clenched his hand lightly.
Strands of Blue Silver Grass shot forward, wrapping tightly around Ma Xiaotao.
"Phoenix Flames!"
Ma Xiaotao hastily ignited her fire, trying to burn the vines away.
Fortunately, Tang Feng's Blue Silver Grass—
Unlike its ancient ancestor—
wasn't immune to fire and water, or this would have been an even bigger nightmare.
"Blue Silver Overlord Thrust!"
Tang Feng formed another Blue Silver Battle Spear and hurled it toward Ma Xiaotao.
This time—
His fourth soul ring lit up beneath his feet.
Above his head, a Snow Heaven Lotus bloomed.
Pure white crystalline ice power flowed into the Blue Silver Grass.
With the chilling force of the Thirty-Thousand-Year Snow Heaven Lotus,
the heat resistance of the Life Blue Silver Grass increased once more.
As a result—
Ma Xiaotao failed to break free from the bindings immediately.
