After leaving the Fire God Temple, Lin Li stepped off the stone-brick platform and saw that the battle outside was still ongoing.
He didn’t know how long it had been, but the initial five-person encirclement had dwindled to two.
He wasn’t sure if the three who vanished were dead or had retreated due to heavy injuries.
Lin Li pondered whether he should step in to help.
When the Fire God sent him away, he had conveniently refilled Lin Li’s depleted Soul Power.
At this moment, Lin Li possessed 95% immunity to the fire element, along with the speed, strength, and other attributes of a Soul Saint.
The only difference between him and a true Soul Saint was his total Soul Power capacity, which was quite small.
If he really engaged in battle, he wouldn’t last long—at most, he’d be a ‘real man’ for ten minutes.
“The Fire God really is a good guy!”
Lin Li sighed with emotion, then charged toward the Flame Demon Skeleton without hesitation.
By saving this high-level Soul Douluo, Lin Li would no longer be someone without a background, thanks to this favor.
It was a favor given at little cost.
…
At the very center of the battlefield.
“It seems I shall perish here today.” Huo Tianquan held his flaming longblade across his chest.
When he opened his eyes again, they seemed to burn with raging flames.
“But before I fall, I must destroy you!”
The eighth Soul Ring beneath his feet, black as ink, suddenly began to spin rapidly as majestic Soul Power condensed within his Martial Soul.
However, just as Huo Tianquan prepared to swing his blade with a heart set on certain death, a Great Soul Master with only two Soul Rings suddenly rushed over.
“A Great Soul Master?”
Huo Tianquan looked again in disbelief, confirming that this was indeed just a Great Soul Master.
Bang!!
While he was dazed, Lin Li’s fist had already landed on the Flame Demon Skeleton, sending it flying.
The massive skeleton crashed into the mountainside, producing a roar like a landslide.
“…Th-this is a Great Soul Master?!”
Huo Tianquan’s worldview was currently being reconstructed…
“Principal, help me watch out for the Fallen Soul Masters.
I saw them when I was coming here.”
Lin Li turned his head to warn him mid-battle, then his figure vanished from the spot, shooting toward the Flame Demon Skeleton like a projectile.
The other Soul Saint still capable of fighting was the one from Spirit Hall, named Han Yi.
He rubbed his eyes and reopened them to look at the Great Soul Master locked in combat with the Flame Demon Skeleton.
“Lin Li?”
It was definitely that special Martial Soul, and definitely those two Soul Rings—one yellow and one purple.
This was the Great Soul Master he had just rescued earlier today!
Not long ago, he had wiped out a team of Fallen Soul Masters that included a Soul Saint, and now he was fighting the Flame Demon Skeleton? Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Whose Great Soul Master has this kind of combat power?
“Old Han, you know him?”
Han Yi with difficulty averted his gaze from Lin Li, then nodded to Huo Tianquan and explained what he knew.
“Damn!”
After hearing the explanation, Huo Tianquan couldn’t help but swear.
He never expected such a freakish genius to exist in the World.
No, Han Yi clearly had ulterior motives; he had to keep this boy for himself!
Although Blazing Academy’s admission requirements were strict—only fire-attribute geniuses could join—Huo Tianquan suddenly felt the rules were a bit too rigid.
As the Principal, Huo Tianquan felt that a little reform was needed.
“Someone’s coming.”
Huo Tianquan and Han Yi snapped out of their shock simultaneously, focusing their Martial Souls and scanning the surroundings.
Before long, they saw two familiar faces—the Fallen Soul Saints they had encountered earlier!
“I wondered which rats were scurrying about; so it’s you lot.”
The Soul Saint whose Martial Soul was a Black Qi Pagoda furrowed his brows tightly.
He had calculated the timing perfectly.
By all rights, the Flame Demon Skeleton and the experts of Blazing Fire City should have been mutually exhausted by now, so why did the situation look wrong?
And where was that old thing Blood Skeleton?
Surely he hadn’t gone into the city to hog all the spoils for himself!
His cold gaze swept across the area, and his eyes, which were usually kept half-closed, suddenly bulged.
What was he seeing?
The Fallen Soul Saint reached out a finger as withered as dead wood to rub his eyes and looked again.
The scene remained the same.
A two-ring Great Soul Master was actually suppressing the Flame Demon Skeleton in a fight?
The Flame Demon Skeleton resisted, but why wasn’t it dealing any damage at all?
The scene fell silent for a moment until Huo Tianquan reacted first.
He prepared to unleash the eighth Soul Skill he hadn’t fired yet at the two Fallen Soul Saints.
“Eighth Soul Skill: Blazing Heaven-Cleaver!!”
A surging fire-attribute giant blade, carrying the weight of ten thousand tons, expanded violently in their vision.
Within a few breaths, it occupied their entire field of view!
“Old Lu!
Let’s resist together!”
The two Fallen Soul Saints immediately activated their Martial Soul True Bodies.
One enlarged the pagoda in his hand to block the front, while the other transformed into a three-eyed eagle, using his wings to shield himself.
There was no time to release extra Martial Soul abilities; they could only rely on their Martial Soul True Bodies to withstand this powerful strike.
Before the blade had even fully descended, the flames carrying sharp blade-intent began to carve countless wounds all over their bodies.
It was as if they were being executed by a thousand cuts.
Their sweat and the Soul Power they exerted were instantly incinerated by the intense heat! New chapters come out on novelping.com first.
Han Yi also struck decisively.
He was already in his Martial Soul True Body state, and at this moment, his sixth Soul Ring lit up.
“Riding the long wind to break the waves, a startling swan’s sword buries the earth.
Sixth Soul Skill: Startling Swan Sword!”
A grayish-white sword light tore a gap through the flames, bringing with it an even sharper, endless sword qi.
“You old geezer, you said your plans were foolproof!
You’re going to be the death of me!”
The man called Old Lu had eyes full of malice.
He thrust a palm through the chest of the man in front of him from behind, absorbing the other’s Soul Power and life force into his own body.
“You!!”
“Don’t blame me.
This way, at least I can survive…
I’ve remembered everyone here.
One day, I will surely kill you all!”
After Old Lu finished speaking, he spread the wings on his back and flew directly into the sky.
“Pursue him!”
Huo Tianquan tried to follow immediately, but because his internal injuries were too severe, he fell back down just as he leaped up.
“I’ll go after him.
You rest well.”
Han Yi spoke, then transformed into a grayish-white light and sped forward.
Huo Tianquan had no choice but to stop and turn to look at Lin Li’s side.
This glance was shocking; Huo Tianquan realized that not only was Lin Li not being suppressed, but he had already finished off the Flame Demon Skeleton!
Even though they had fought for several hours and the Flame Demon Skeleton had been mostly drained by them, it was still too ridiculous for a Great Soul Master to be the one to finish it!
Lin Li stood up from the Flame Demon Skeleton’s body.
He could feel the residual Divine Power within the skeleton being attracted to him.
Whether it was because of the Nine Trials of the Fire God or something else, Lin Li discovered a flame mark had appeared in the palm of his right hand.
Similar to an External Soul Bone, this mark contained a Soul Skill called: “Blazing Demon Flame Kill”!
He hadn’t tested its power yet, but based on Lin Li’s intuition, an ordinary Soul Sect probably wouldn’t be able to withstand it!
The only flaw wasn’t really a flaw.
The drawback of this Soul Skill was that it would disappear once the fire-attribute Divine Power was exhausted, and it would slowly vanish even if not used.
But who was Lin Li?
He still had the mark of the Nine Trials of the Fire God on his forehead!
If he needed fire-attribute Divine Power, he could just ask the Fire God for some.
In any case, although that Fire God sounded like he had a bit of a temper, he was actually quite generous.
