Chapter 248 No one understands devouring better than Xuanzi

Chapter 248 No one understands devouring better than Xuanzi

Sensing the presence of another Black Phoenix, not only Lin Nuo and Electrolux were drawn to it, but even Ma Xiaotao, who was about to go to the outer courtyard for dinner, stopped in her tracks.

Lin Nuo was horrified when he saw the black phoenix perched on the golden tree.

"Holy crap, a cheat!"

Holy crap, this is a real cheat code! Just a moment ago, Yan Shaozhe was level 96 Little Flying Dance, and in the blink of an eye, he's level 98!

That's right, a level 98 Super Douluo, whose aura is only slightly weaker than Xuanzi, who is drinking and eating chicken in Shrek City. His level 98 realm may not be very stable yet, but he has definitely reached that level.

"So it really is true that the Phoenix of Light can no longer suppress that person's power, right? The plan to eliminate Shrek Academy was devised by Yan Shaozhe?" Lin Nuo's expression was that of an old man on a subway phone, but it quickly turned into a purely amused state of mind.

The Evil Phoenix Saint Son, now completely freed from his constraints, is simply invincible!

No, that's not right. Long Xiaoyao is dead, Ye Xishui is seriously injured and missing, Zhong Liwu is also dead, and the high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Sect were all wiped out by Lin Nuo. Yan Shaozhe is no longer the Holy Son; he has directly inherited the position of Sect Leader!

Not only that, he also has his good disciple, the Evil Phoenix Saintess, and the Supreme Elder, Xuanzi!

This is really Shrek Academy becoming a breeding ground for evil spirit masters! This is truly—too delightful!

Sensing a similar aura, Ma Xiaotao couldn't wait to fly over, and Lin Nuo didn't stop her. He just wanted to have some fun, especially Shrek Academy's fun!

The current situation was unexpected by Lin Nuo.

Although he guessed that the deaths of Cai Meier and Mu En might have dealt a great blow to Yan Shaozhe, coupled with his own personality, the combination of the Mind-Questioning Technique and the power of the Sword of Judgment would stir up the darkness in his heart.

Lin Nuo didn't expect Yan Shaozhe to be so accommodating. He hadn't even figured out how to deal with Ma Xiaotao, this "roast chicken," when Yan Shaozhe turned evil.

What Lin Nuo didn't expect was that Yan Shaozhe, after turning to the dark side, actually broke through to level 98.

Simply outrageous.

However, considering that his personality was incompatible with his martial soul, which caused him to stagnate at level 95 for a long time, it is normal for his soul power level to advance by leaps and bounds after his personality was liberated and he became compatible with his martial soul.

Just like Xuanzi, he was stuck at level 98 because he couldn't accept Taotie's ultimate technique of devouring. If he could be like Ye Xishui and treat everyone like bread, how could he be the weakest level 98 and the weakest limit?

After reaching level 95, comprehending and merging with your Martial Soul is the fastest way to improve your cultivation.

However, Yan Shaozhe could only stop there.

Without even a 100,000-year soul ring, he could only reach level 98 at most. One of the hard conditions for breaking through the limit was to have a 100,000-year soul ring. Before he used the secret technique of the evil soul master to upgrade one of his soul rings to 100,000 years, no matter how hard he tried, he could only stop at level 98.

Sure enough, as Yan Shaozhe, transformed into a giant black phoenix, watched Ma Xiaotao flying towards him, the look in his eyes was no longer that of a teacher caring for and protecting his disciple, but rather naked greed and covetousness.

In Yan Shaozhe's eyes at this moment, Ma Xiaotao was no longer a disciple, but a walking, talking tonic.

His martial spirit is inferior to Ma Xiaotao's, even after he turned evil.

The phrase "ultimate attribute" is already an unattainable goal for Yan Shaozhe, even if he strives his whole life. However, if he devours and assimilates Ma Xiaotao, he, who also possesses the Black Phoenix Martial Soul, will not only have a chance to make his dark attribute reach its ultimate state, but also an almost 100% probability of making his soul ring reach 100,000 years.

Ma Xiaotao possesses a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone. Combined with her immense and ultimate soul power origin at the Soul Douluo level, as well as the origins of the other three soul bones, she can be directly regarded as Yan Shaozhe's Limit-Breaking Pill.

If you devour her, you will have a 100% chance of breaking through your limits, an 80% chance of possessing extreme dark attributes, and a probability of increasing the age of your soul rings, potentially creating two or even three 100,000-year soul rings.

With the growth of his origin, the breakthrough in strength, the transformation of his attributes, and the all-round improvement, how could Yan Shaozhe, whose consciousness had been blinded by darkness, possibly suppress the devouring desire of his martial soul instinct?

Even though he subconsciously resisted the idea of ​​harming Ma Xiaotao, his resistance was insignificant in the face of his dark nature, which had been suppressed for many years and was suddenly unleashed.

While Yan Shaozhe was struggling, Ma Xiaotao had already flown to him.

"Teacher!" Ma Xiaotao's tone was filled with joy.

She thought that only she could walk this dark and lonely path, that she could bear the infamy of killing alone, and that she could do the right thing.

Unexpectedly, her teacher was willing to share the infamy and fall into darkness with her.

"Indeed, my teacher is the person I'm closest to!"

That's what Ma Xiaotao thought.

Until her eyes met Yan Shaozhe's, who had transformed into a black phoenix, she watched as the last trace of struggle in his eyes dissipated, and as all that remained in him was an uncontrollable desire and greed.

The teacher—he mistook me for food!

Even Ma Xiaotao, whose nature is now only tyrannical and cruel, couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine when she saw Yan Shaozhe staring at her as if she were food.

She is a Contra Master, she possesses title-level combat power, she is a chosen one of heaven, but she is not strong enough in front of a level 98 powerhouse!

The shadow of death loomed over Ma Xiaotao's heart, and a hint of fear gradually grew in her eyes.

"Hey!"

Yan Shaozhe's outstretched black wings blotted out the sky, and his blood-red phoenix eyes were filled with nothing but greed. He suddenly lowered his head and pecked at Ma Xiaotao with his sharp beak, wanting to swallow her whole.

"No-!!"

With a snap, Yan Shaozhe's open beak completely swallowed Ma Xiaotao.

When Xuanzi and the others were all in place, this was all they saw.

Yan Shaozhe turned evil and devoured Ma Xiaotao, leaving only a two-meter-diameter circular pit pecked out by Yan Shaozhe. Ma Xiaotao's figure completely disappeared.

"Xiao Tao—" A sharp voice, tinged with sadness and disbelief, rang out as Xian Lin'er's figure flashed past, leaving a sizable crater in the ground.

She arrived as quickly as possible, but she was still a step too late, only to witness Yan Shaozhe eating Ma Xiaotao.

The figures of the other elders also appeared one after another. They arrived later than Xian Lin'er and only saw Yan Shaozhe swallowing, but they couldn't see what Yan Shaozhe swallowed. It wasn't until Xian Lin'er exclaimed that they realized that what had been swallowed was Ma Xiaotao.

"Huh?" Xuanzi, who appeared last, still carried a strong aroma of wine and meat, and his hazy eyes cleared up.

Has something happened to my kidneys?

"Shao Zhe, Xiao Tao is a child you watched grow up, how could you—" Xian Lin'er suddenly looked up, staring at the black phoenix that was perched on the golden tree and was thirty or forty meters long, and whispered in disbelief.

But Yan Shaozhe remained silent, his cold phoenix eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

His silence was misinterpreted by the crowd as tacit agreement, and the atmosphere instantly froze, with a sense of oppression gradually spreading.

"Lin'er, stop talking. He's no longer Shao Zhe." Xuan Zi, now fully awake, looked at the Black Phoenix with a complex expression. "Aren't you coming to your senses? Look at this Martial Soul True Form. Shao Zhe has completely become the Black Phoenix—"

"Although I don't know why Shao Zhe has changed like this, he is now undoubtedly an evil soul master. His act of devouring Xiao Tao is the best proof. He instinctively craves Xiao Tao's even more powerful Black Phoenix origin and the ultimate dark attribute—"

Joking aside, everyone says that Xuanzi is the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, but in reality, he is not an evil soul master. He just does things in a rather beastly way.

But when it comes to devouring, Xuanzi is truly an expert.

Possessing the Gluttonous Divine Ox Martial Soul, he can feel the devouring desire emanating from the depths of his Martial Soul every second. The more energy-rich and blood-filled a being is, the more he has a hunger for it and the more he wants to devour it to strengthen himself.

He knew Yan Shaozhe's emotions all too well—that instinctive craving for something that could strengthen him and allow him to undergo a radical transformation was almost like being poisoned.

Long ago, when Xuanzi was extremely young, he even had a strong desire to devour Mu En. His martial soul was the Taotie Divine Ox, with pure dragon blood, but not strong enough, containing some mixed ox blood, which is why it was not Taotie but Taotie Divine Ox.

Mu En, with his pure dragon martial soul and extremely pure and powerful bloodline, was the perfect remedy to purify his martial soul. If he swallowed Mu En, he would be able to evolve into a true Taotie.

This can be seen from the original story's beast tide plot, where Mu En used the power of the Golden Tree to activate Xuanzi's bloodline, briefly turning him into a true Taotie.

Moon is his best evolutionary medicine.

He had also lost control of himself several times, and was tempted by Mu En's bloodline. In the end, he was beaten up by Mu En several times, which left him with psychological trauma, before he finally extinguished his desire.

When instinct becomes difficult to suppress, a deeper instinct is needed to extinguish the other.

It was from then on that Xuanzi began to numb himself with eating and drinking. He could even resist thinking about Mu En, whom he craved to devour the most, so he naturally became immune to other small snacks.

It could be said that Mu En deserves half the credit for Xuanzi not becoming an evil soul master.

Now, Xuanzi sees his former self reflected in Yan Shaozhe, even more so than before.

He was able to control his devouring instinct back then because of Mu En's overwhelming strength, which had forced him into submission. Ma Xiaotao's attraction to Yan Shaozhe was several times greater than Mu En's attraction to him in the past, and Ma Xiaotao didn't have the same power to resist as Mu En.

So the ending is obvious: Yan Shaozhe couldn't resist the temptation of the martial spirit, devoured Ma Xiaotao, and completely became an evil spirit master.

He—there's no going back.

With a complex expression, Xuanzi pronounced Yan Shaozhe's death sentence.

"No—no, no, no! I don't believe it!"

There are stubborn people everywhere, especially those with a love-struck mind in Douluo Continent. Upon hearing that Yan Shaozhe had completely become an evil soul master, Xian Lin'er expressed her inability to accept it and immediately rushed towards Yan Shaozhe with a frenzied expression.

"You bastard, how could you do this? You are Yan Shaozhe, the Phoenix of Light! Why have you become like this?!" Xian Lin'er cried, her face streaked with tears, as she swung her fists and attacked Yan Shaozhe relentlessly.

But Yan Shaozhe, in his true form as a black phoenix, merely raised his wings indifferently to block.

Xian Lin'er's fists, empowered by the wind and flames, were powerful and heavy with each strike. However, when they hit Yan Shaozhe's wings, which were wreathed in black flames, they couldn't even break a single feather. The difference between level 98 and level 95 was as vast as an insurmountable chasm; she couldn't even break through his defenses.

"Lin'er, don't be impulsive!" Xuanzi immediately lost his composure.

He understood all too well how big the gap was between level 98 and level 95. To put it another way, in the entire Shrek Academy, only he, who was also level 98, could suppress Yan Shaozhe. No one else was his match.

This is a level 98 Evil Soul Master Super Douluo!

A demonic soul master whose combat power far surpasses that of a normal soul master of the same level!

A deafening roar echoed across the sky, and the true form of the Taotie Divine Bull, even larger than the Black Phoenix Yan Shaozhe, appeared, kicking at Yan Shaozhe with one hoof.

A sharp, cold glint flashed in the latter's eyes. He withdrew his claws, which were already poised to strike, and instead tore at the hoof that Xuanzi was kicking at him.

After being interrupted, Xian Lin'er realized what had happened and retreated a long distance away, her face filled with lingering fear.

She also saw Yan Shaozhe's change of tactics. If Xuanzi hadn't intervened in time, she would have been too distracted by grief and anger to notice Yan Shaozhe's treachery, and she wouldn't have believed that Yan Shaozhe was so ruthless, disregarding their marital bond.

If that claw had landed, her best outcome would have been severe injury and death.

"You are no longer him, how could he be so cruel to me—" Xian Lin'er covered her mouth tightly and sobbed softly, the sadness and pain in her eyes gradually turning into hysterical madness.

In Douluo Continent, every woman possesses a certain degree of eccentricity.

Clearly, Xianlin'er's budding eccentricities had awakened at this moment.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe you really don't care about the past anymore. It must be because of your martial soul, yes, that must be it!" Xian Lin'er murmured softly, her soul power fluctuations growing stronger. "I'll control you, then wake you up, and you'll be able to remember everything from the past, just like Xiao Tao, and suppress the backlash of your martial soul with your own will!"

Xian Lin'er charged forward again. Not only her, but also the remaining elders of Shrek Academy, with Xuan Zi as the main force, began to besiege Yan Shaozhe.

Surrounded by enemies, Yan Shaozhe's already volatile temper was further fueled, and his anger made each of his attacks increasingly ruthless.

He couldn't hear what Xianlin'er and Xuanzi were babbling about.

He could only feel that not only had he failed to consume the Limit-Breaking Pill that would allow him to break through his limits, but he was also being harassed by a swarm of flies and mosquitoes. He was very annoyed and angry!

Since I didn't get the Limit Breaking Pill, I'll just eat you all!
