After Lin Xiao reached Level 70, his strength saw a qualitative leap.
When he unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, he could even contend with Titled Douluo.
However, he was still far from being able to challenge a Ferocious Beast like Zi Ji, who was almost the strongest within their shared cultivation realm.
Fortunately, Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others are here.
Lin Xiao wasn't so foolish as to challenge Zi Ji alone.
His Phoenix wings unfurled behind him, beautiful and resplendent, particularly striking in the deep night.
Zi Ji's narrow dragon eyes slightly narrowed. She sidestepped Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack, her gaze falling on Lin Xiao, a playful amusement in her eyes.
"Another human Soul Master?"
"Oh, and a little Phoenix Soul Master too."
Lin Xiao offered a Spiritual Link to the four Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, wasting no words.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, I'm here to help you."
"From now on, follow my commands."
The moment they received the Spiritual Link, the four Titled Douluo were all startled.
What a peculiar Soul Skill!
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, Yue Guan frowned deeply.
This kid, though certainly monstrously talented, how could he possibly direct a battle of Super Douluo level? He truly is young and reckless, not knowing his place.
Lin Xiao, though unaware of the specific thoughts of the four Spirit Hall Titled Douluo, could largely anticipate them.
He simply released his Martial Soul True Body directly, first demonstrating his strength to earn their trust.
"*Phoenix True Body!*"
Scarlet flames shot skyward, engulfing Lin Xiao. Then, from within the inferno, a Fire Phoenix was reborn, radiating sacred majesty, noble beauty, and an imposing aura.
Everyone present was startled.
Especially Kite Douluo. Her Martial Soul was a powerful fire-attributed bird, and now, with Lin Xiao releasing his Martial Soul and activating his Martial Soul True Body, Her body trembled uncontrollably.
For a moment, she couldn't even tell if it was excitement or fear.
But the bloodline suppression was undeniably real.
"*Blazing Feather Sky Burning Strike!*"
Countless fiery feathers hovered in the sky, then shot towards Zi Ji's location.
Zi Ji's eyes slightly darkened, and the amusement in them vanished.
She actually felt a threat from the attack of this "little one" at the Soul Saint level!
In fact, it was even more troublesome than Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's attacks!
The attack's power wasn't particularly great.
However, the quality of the Soul Power was excellent, especially its attribute. Zi Ji's attributes were Yin Water and Devour, but this Fire Phoenix's attribute was very strange.
It was clearly Ultimate Fire... but it seemed even more overbearing.
And it also contained Ultimate Light.
Furthermore, the opponent's attribute was slightly superior to her own.
Water and fire, light and darkness—it wasn't always the case that water countered fire, or light countered darkness. When fire blazed fiercely and water was weak, or when light dimmed and darkness flourished, the tables could turn.
In other words, Lin Xiao's attribute was closer to the ultimate form than Zi Ji's!
How was this possible?
Zi Ji opened her dragon maw and exhaled a frigid breath. The icy white frost flowers seemed to freeze the very air, but upon touching Lin Xiao's flames, they quickly melted away.
Her Devour attribute couldn't even devour Lin Xiao's flames.
This fire is too overbearing!
Zi Ji looked at Lin Xiao, a cold glint flashing in her dark purple pupils.
Right now, she utterly loathed the Phoenix before her!
The four Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, witnessing this scene, nearly had their jaws drop!
Especially Yue Guan, who stared at Lin Xiao in astonishment:
"This child hid himself so deeply! Only now does he reveal his true strength. Both His Excellency the Pope and I were deceived by him!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly realized.
But it was too late. At this moment, Lin Xiao was someone even Bibi Dong had to treat as an equal, and there was no longer any chance to eliminate him prematurely!
Just then, Lin Xiao's calm voice drifted over.
"This is the Hell Demon Dragon King, a rare pure-blooded True Dragon among Soul Beasts. In terms of bloodline talent alone, it surpasses even Di Tian and is far stronger than the Three-Headed Crimson Demonic Mastiff."
"It's understandable that a few Elders aren't its match."
"Next, please follow my command."
He spoke without reservation.
Who were the Elders of Spirit Hall? Every single one of them was a prominent figure!
Yet, they weren't annoyed at this moment.
Simply because Lin Xiao's strength and talent gave him the right to speak like that!
Yue Guan plucked a chrysanthemum and said softly, "Since young friend Lin Xiao knows so much about this Hell Demon Dragon King, we shall follow your lead."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
Not bad, not stupid.
At least not like that old fool Bibi Dong, who suffers for the sake of appearances.
"Phoenix Domain!"
"Pupil Technique Domain!"
The Phoenix Domain was particularly effective against Zi Ji, especially against her "Yin Water" attribute. Lin Xiao's Amaterasu Phoenix Fire was a complete counter.
How satisfying was elemental suppression?
The four Elders of Spirit Hall felt it most directly!
When facing Zi Ji, the bone-chilling cold they had felt earlier was now completely gone.
It even felt like Zi Ji's Soul Skills had weakened somewhat.
Coupled with Lin Xiao's Spiritual Detection and Pupil Technique Domain, which heavily countered Zi Ji's high agility, and with Spiritual Sharing, everyone felt like they had a god's-eye view.
What was originally an unmanageable situation suddenly became clear on how to fight.
Lin Xiao shouted, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, please help provide cover!"
Yue Guan plucked a wilting chrysanthemum. "Eighth Soul Skill: Myriad Streams of Light!"
Countless golden lights burst from the chrysanthemum, and powerful energy beams blasted towards Zi Ji. Zi Ji's figure flickered, quickly disappearing.
But Yue Guan wasn't flustered in the slightest.
Under Spiritual Detection and the Pupil Technique Domain, it was like having a GPS. As the energy beams pursued, Gui Mei's figure quietly vanished into the darkness.
The next instant, as if he had predicted it, he appeared beside Zi Ji.
Chimei Wangliang: Night Parade of a Hundred Demons!
He unleashed his Eighth Soul Skill. Numerous dark shadows were indistinct in the darkness, making them seem even more ominous and dangerous. Countless shadows, like shadow warriors, swung their blades at Zi Ji.
Zi Ji hadn't expected to be predicted and couldn't dodge in time.
In desperation, she could only spread her wings to block, but a series of sharp clanging sounds rang out, and Zi Ji let out a pained growl.
Meanwhile, Kite Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had been watching intently, immediately charged forward.
Kite Douluo, following Lin Xiao's instructions, had been charging his ultimate move, "Blazing Fire Burning Body." He absolutely couldn't make a move before it was fully charged!
One had to complain a bit here.
A dignified Ninth Soul Skill required charging to unleash. In the original work, while he was charging, Tang San controlled him, and he was actually instantly killed by the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. It was truly an eye-opener.
But this also indirectly showed the power of Kite Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill.
Ghost Leopard Douluo followed closely. "Dark Nether Slowness!"
Zi Ji was attacked from front and back, ambushed from all sides. She hadn't intended to engage in a direct fight, but being hit by the wide-ranging Domain skill, Dark Nether Slowness, she couldn't shake off the impending attacks.
At once, she glared furiously at the Phoenix in the sky.
Even though this guy hasn't made a move!
It definitely has something to do with him!
