After Ma Rulong finished his bun, he took one for himself as well.
A tremendous metallic clanging erupted from Xia Sha Feng. Eighty-one metal barrels appeared in sequence, mounted on a circular base, instantly locking onto Ma Xiaotao.
It was a Soul-Conducting Artillery Platform!
Dark cannon muzzles glowed with concentrated soul power.
Thanks to his food-type soul power, Xia Sha Feng could maintain this artillery attack far longer than an ordinary soul master.
Ma Xiaotao, facing such overwhelming force, recognized the enemy's strategy immediately: their goal was to neutralize the captain of the Shrek team before attacking the others.
Yet, despite being surrounded, Ma Xiaotao showed no fear.
She didn't defend—she went on the offensive!
Her right arm raised, condensing a blazing dark-red flame that instantly transformed into a black phoenix, shooting forward.
The audience on the observation platform gasped.
"Oh my heavens! Do you think we're about to see a reversal?""Hmph, it's possible! Don't forget, Shrek is full of hidden cards!""Look at this fiery red-haired girl—not even bothering to defend herself! That shows ultimate confidence!"
…
Just when everyone expected an explosive team battle, Ma Xiaotao did the unthinkable.
After releasing her attack, she jumped off the battlefield before the enemy's concentrated fire could strike.
"Whoa!""What kind of move is that?""Brilliant… absolutely brilliant!"
Shouts of astonishment rang out from the spectators.
On the battlefield, the black phoenix continued its rampage.
Its speed seemed modest, but when it collided with the lightning orb released by Mi Jia, the orb mysteriously vanished.
When it struck the metallic sphere fired by Chen Fei, it too disintegrated. The enemy artillery didn't even get to unleash its full potential before being vaporized.
The black fire phoenix was terrifying—it targeted Chen Fei first.
Chen Fei, who had just attacked, didn't anticipate being the phoenix's first target. He attempted to dodge, relying on his Flash Bird soul power.
He judged the phoenix as small and slow—easily avoidable.
But he miscalculated.
While the phoenix's size was small and its speed moderate, at the exact moment Chen Fei dodged, the dark flame suddenly expanded outward—so fast that the human eye could barely track it.
In that instant, Chen Fei's body was engulfed.
It was like a gas tank had exploded!
Even as he tried to evade again, it was too late.
Ma Rulong shouted:"Referee!"
If Tian Sha Douluo had been paying attention, he might have been able to intervene.
Unfortunately, the sudden jump of Ma Xiaotao had already diverted his focus.
A sharp phoenix cry rang out. Chen Fei's body, in midair, was grazed by the expanding flames.
Then the black phoenix accelerated toward Mi Jia.
Chen Fei's body continued forward, but half of him was gone, crashing onto the battlefield.
Second Soul King of the Sun-Moon Empire Team—dead!
Seeing Chen Fei's fate, the remaining member, Mi Jia, didn't dare hesitate.
She immediately activated her invincible shield.
However, the black phoenix curved toward Ma Rulong instead, ignoring the shielded Mi Jia.
Ma Rulong, filled with fury and hatred, quickly raised his own invincible shield.
Boom—
The dark-red flame erupted violently, forming a mushroom cloud of intense heat.
Mi Jia, who initially thought the phoenix attack would waste her shield, now felt relief—because even the residual blast turned the battlefield into molten lava.
Even if she survived, she would be badly injured!
"What terrifying power!"
The Sun-Moon team had already estimated Ma Xiaotao's strength, which was why they committed four members to overwhelm her.
Yet her explosive power was almost unbearable.
With Lin Xi and Chen Fei dead, and Ma Rulong and Mi Jia's shields shattered, the team had taken severe losses.
Even as elite students from the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Academy, each member only had one invincible shield, making them extremely valuable.
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao had jumped off the battlefield, preserving her strength and remaining uninjured.
By contrast, the Sun-Moon team suffered a huge disadvantage.
After Ma Xiaotao left the field, the remaining Shrek members, having unleashed their soul skills, also jumped down. Staying on the field was meaningless—and dangerous, given the Sun-Moon team's potential counterattack.
If one word could describe this team battle, it would be: brutal.
In the history of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, only the initial elimination matches had fatalities.
In subsequent battles, serious injuries occurred but no deaths—until today's final.
Even with a Title Douluo acting as referee, the Sun-Moon team still lost two members.
Back in the rest area, Ma Xiaotao's right arm was completely bare, glowing like burning coal.
The one-meter-long black fire phoenix's destructive power wasn't easy to release. That single strike combined her Phoenix Evil Fire, Flame Phoenix, Phoenix Piercing Strike, and the Phoenix Exploding Strike soul skill from her right arm soul bone—compressed into a single, devastating attack.
Compressing three soul skills into one is a secret technique of Shrek Academy, suited only for soul masters like Ma Xiaotao, who attack primarily in energy form.
This was her true power.
She quickly approached Xiao Yuhao and whispered:
"Xiao Yuhao, hurry and freeze me, Senior Sister is about to burn up~"
