Chapter 162 The Ultimate Fire and Zhang Lexuan's Strangeness
Zhang Lexuan actually volunteered so proactively?
Wu Ming opened her mouth, but swallowed the word "I" that was about to come out. For a moment, many inner court disciples, including Bei Bei, were stunned, as if their worldviews had been shattered.
It should be noted that although Zhang Lexuan had an unparalleled reputation among the inner disciples and was the dream girl of countless male students, she never showed any interest in any male classmates except for Beibei, and devoted almost all her energy to cultivation.
It is precisely because of her focus, coupled with her exceptional talent, that she has become one of only two students in Shrek Academy's inner court to have reached the level of an 80th-level Soul Douluo. This is especially true given that older generation inner court disciples like Jin Yehuan have had to delay their graduation, which speaks volumes about her strength.
In fact, she was the only choice to succeed the chief disciple, and some female students who knew her had already started calling her senior sister.
Now, Zhang Lexuan, the goddess of countless male students' dreams, with a gentle personality and focused solely on cultivation, has actually broken with tradition for a foreign exchange student?!
A hint of surprise flashed across Jin Yehuan's eyes. He stared at Zhang Lexuan for a moment, her deep black eyes remaining calm and undisturbed. He didn't ask any further questions, only nodding slightly.
"Please, classmate." Zhang Lexuan walked lightly to Kong Tianxu and gestured with her hand. Kong Tianxu readily agreed, but as he gazed at the golden tree in the distance, obscured by layers of buildings, he raised an eyebrow, as if sensing something.
Therefore, he did not notice the glint in Zhang Lexuan's eyes as she turned around.
There was something she needed to confirm.
"Senior Brother, how is the situation?"
No sooner had Kong Tianxu left than one of the twin inner court disciples quietly asked Jin Yehuan, who had already returned to the spectator stands.
Jin Yehuan first called out an inner court disciple to face the eager Xue Di, then shook his head, "I only know she's very strong, but I can't tell how strong she is, and—"
He lifted his thick, armored crocodile tail, and only after removing the protection of the rock armor did everyone notice that a small patch of black scorch marks had appeared at the end of his originally beautiful and symmetrical bone scales. The surrounding area also showed signs of being burned for a long time and was reddish. Some of the scales were even curled up.
"His fire attribute is really strong, even stronger than Elder Gong's, which is the strongest I have ever seen in my life."
Han Ruoruo poked the tip of Jin Yehuan's tail, the spot where Kong Tianxu's final whip kick landed.
A small piece of charred carbon fell off.
"Hiss—" A gasp of cold air rang out.
"The Ultimate Fire".
Yan Shaozhe slowly and deliberately revealed the true meaning of Kong Tianxu's attack, his heart growing even heavier.
His Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul wielded the Flame of Light. Although it was not a pure, ultimate Martial Soul, the degree of fusion between the light and fire attributes was extremely high. As a Phoenix-type Martial Soul, it also possessed inherent high-temperature characteristics. Naturally, he could clearly judge the terrifying temperature contained in Kong Tianxu's Fire Dragon Tail Sweep.
During the competition, Kong Tianxu had already demonstrated the ultimate ice, and now, with the addition of the ultimate fire, his Silver Dragon Martial Soul possessed dual ultimate attributes—
terrible.
Forced to put on a smile, Yan Shaozhe exchanged a few pleasantries with Elder Ma before getting up and leaving his seat. He had come here specifically to see Kong Tianxu's performance; otherwise, a mere eight-ringed Big-Headed Spirit Ape Martial Soul Douluo and a group of Soul Masters whose highest level was no more than Soul Emperor wouldn't be worth Dean Yan's personal accompaniment.
At least, that's what he thinks.
"Click—"
—
It's the sound of ice and snow freezing.
Yan Shaozhe suddenly turned around, his pupils contracting.
The inner court Soul King who was just about to introduce himself to the Snow Empress had turned into an ice sculpture. In the atmosphere where you could hear a pin drop, the Snow Empress playfully tapped her head.
Zhang Lexuan has a great figure.
Especially when she sat sideways on the edge of the boat, her slender waist straight, her eyes fixed on the distance ahead.
The moonlight, like water, poured down onto her smooth forehead, flowed over her rosy lips and swan-like neck, outlining the graceful curves of her undulating peaks, and finally disappeared into the shadow between her rounded breasts, casting a silhouette as lustrous as jade.
The harmonious ending alone was undoubtedly the most exquisite stroke Kong Tianxu had ever seen in his life, which made him feel even better.
"Once you cross this Poseidon Lake, you'll reach Poseidon Island, which is also the dormitory area for our inner court students."
Zhang Lexuan parted her lips slightly. She had been silent ever since she led Kong Tianxu onto the small boat that was already waiting on the shore of Sea God Lake. This was the first time she had spoken.
She turned her head, her slightly hazy eyes looking at Kong Tianxu, who seemed to be closing his eyes to sense something. Her soft and beautiful voice rang out again: "You are very powerful. A 100,000-year soul ring. Among young soul masters, this is the first time I have seen someone who can rival Senior Brother Jin Yehuan in terms of physical strength. Especially the fire attribute that you unleashed in your last attack, that was definitely the strongest fire I have ever seen."
"That's strange. I clearly felt someone pressing against me the whole time," Zhang Lexuan said, a hint of doubt in her mind.
It is naturally powerful, because it is the ultimate fire.
Kong Tianxu answered her in his heart, then opened his eyes. His deep purple eyes seemed to glow in the night, completely different from Zhang Lexuan's clear eyes, yet there was a strange attraction and complementarity between them.
With Yan Shaozhe's discerning eye, he naturally wouldn't misjudge his attributes. Thanks to the massive amount of blazing glue from the Fiery Apricot, he successfully raised his fire attribute cultivation to the ultimate level of fire.
Although he had only just crossed the threshold of the ultimate fire, he possessed the extremely yang and strong characteristics of the sun fire. Even a martial soul with strong defensive capabilities like the Thick Earth Crocodile King was breached by his attack.
He smiled faintly and said, "Senior Sister Le Xuan, you flatter me. Perhaps it's because my martial soul provides a stronger boost to my body."
"You know me?" Zhang Lexuan noticed his form of address immediately.
"Have you forgotten what happened in the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament two years ago, Senior Sister Le Xuan?"
Zhang Lexuan, who is only 26 years old this year, has participated in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament twice. In the second competition, she served as the captain and swept through the final individual competition like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, defeating six Sun Moon Royal Soul Master students in one fell swoop and securing the victory.
These words carried a hint of hostility. Zhang Lexuan raised her eyebrows slightly, forming a somewhat cold and hard arc, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Kong Tianxu seemed oblivious, even meeting Zhang Lexuan's gaze directly, and said to himself, "However, I do admire senior's confidence and decisiveness. If you're not strong enough, you're not strong enough. If you're not as skilled as others, you should lose. Moreover, since ancient times, it's extremely rare for women to occupy the absolute main force in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament."
Zhang Lexuan raised her eyebrows even higher, then slowly relaxed them, curving them back into a gentle arc. She turned her face away, tucking a few strands of hair that had been ruffled by the lake breeze behind her ears.
"There must be quite a few girls who like you."
no respond.
Zhang Lexuan turned her gaze back, only to find that Kong Tianxu's intense gaze, which had been fixed on her, had shifted away. His deep purple eyes gazed into the depths of the mist, and a hint of longing, like whispered words, gradually gathered in his clear eyes.
The white-clad youth in the night perfectly revealed a hint of naivety beneath his powerful exterior. Just moments ago, he exuded an imposing aura, but now he appeared somewhat hazy and fragile with sadness, captivating Zhang Lexuan's gaze. Curiosity began to stir within her, and she almost forgot the original purpose of her trip.
The oars gently swayed, parting the ripples of the lake. Lake Poseidon was vast, comparable in size to the rest of Shrek Academy combined. After more than fifteen minutes of sailing, through the misty spray, the island's outline gradually came into focus.
Poseidon Island covers an area of about two square kilometers. The terrain is not flat and the whole island resembles a small mountain. Various pavilions and towers are built on the mountain in a staggered and orderly manner.
Kong Tianxu and his companion boarded the island and followed a stone path into the depths of Poseidon Island.
The island is extremely tranquil, seemingly untouched by human presence, peaceful and serene, like a paradise on earth. The buildings, nestled among various tall vegetation, are exquisite and elegant. These plants are at least a thousand years old, with some towering trees reaching hundreds of meters in height.
But the beautiful scenery failed to attract Kong Tianxu's attention. He followed behind Zhang Lexuan, listening to her introduce the various things on Poseidon Island, while his eyes only followed the path to the top of the mountain.
To outsiders, it was just a three-story building, brown in color, entirely made of wood, with a rustic charm and a touch of age. But upon closer inspection, one could see that the wood itself had a luster similar to oil.
The three-story building is only about ten meters tall, lacking any sense of grandeur or magnificence. However, directly above the entrance on the first floor, a black plaque hangs, with three large gilded characters identifying it as the Sea God Pavilion.
But from Kong Tianxu's perspective, its true form was a towering golden tree, ancient and majestic, with lush branches and leaves. The density of the primordial energy of heaven and earth was terrifying. A massive amount of light and life elements piled together to form such a spectacular scene, which also blocked his view of continuing to peer inside.
"What a great item. I wonder if it will break into a spirit ring if I cut it," Kong Tianxu clicked his tongue silently. Zhang Lexuan, who was leading the way, had no idea of his rebellious thoughts. She gently stopped in front of a detached dormitory.
"This is your dormitory, it's all set up. However, because there have been more inner court students in recent years, the remaining rooms are a bit secluded, but they are quiet. Your school uniform will be delivered to you tomorrow morning. You have classes in the morning, so remember not to be late."
Zhang Lexuan handed the key to Kong Tianxu and gave him a series of instructions.
"By the way, you've reached level 60, but haven't obtained your sixth spirit ring yet, right? Recently, quite a few high-level inner court disciples have reached their bottlenecks. Soon, the inner court will gather all the inner court students who have reached their bottlenecks to go on a spirit hunting trip in the Star Dou Great Forest. Would you like to come with us?"
Soul Hunting? Kong Tianxu's eyes lit up. He had already decided on his sixth soul ring, which was a pure mental-type Evil Eye Tyrant with 100,000 years of cultivation in the Demon Forest, to supplement the mental power of his Silver Dragon Martial Soul.
Ye Xishui, Kong Deming, and the other two went to Hunt Soul together for this reason. With their combination, even if they angered the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler who had been around for 790,000 years, the latter would not be able to get away with it.
However, in reality, Kong Tianxu had always been in a wait-and-see state regarding the choice of this spirit ring. To be fair, under normal circumstances, the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant was already the best and most suitable spirit-type spirit beast for him on the entire continent, but if the Silver Dragon wanted to truly complete its evolution, the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant might not be enough.
The first acquisition of a soul ring with the corresponding attribute has a decisive effect on the growth of the Silver Dragon Martial Soul. He was always hesitant about whether to postpone it further and improve the Light attribute, which is also extremely important in the evolution, or to continue to supplement the four elements as the foundation and wait for a better choice.
Zhang Lexuan's eighth spirit ring —
It is also a being that has existed for 100,000 years. Presumably, this time the Soul Hunt will definitely go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, where it may encounter a more suitable being.
Without hesitation, Kong Tianxu quickly came up with a plan.
"I couldn't have gotten it."
He laughed heartily, but a sense of doubt lingered in his heart.
Zhang Lexuan seemed to be more enthusiastic about him than expected?
"Okay, I'll report to the college tomorrow."
Zhang Lexuan nodded, but then she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but stopped herself. She, who had been poised and confident all the way, seemed a little awkward at this moment.
Before they knew it, the two were standing quite close, and a faint, pleasant fragrance gradually lingered around Kong Tianxu's nose.
Her gentle and refreshing demeanor made people feel close to her without realizing it. He relaxed from the inside out, and his gaze towards Zhang Lexuan became even softer.
Meeting Kong Tianxu's pure and unbiased gaze, Zhang Lexuan was guided and regained her resolve: "Could you—let me feel the soul power aura of your Silver Dragon Martial Soul up close?"
Seeing the two of them standing subtly by the door, she waved her hand as if explaining something, a faint blush rising to her cheeks: "Don't misunderstand, just give me one finger."
"Girl, saying it like that is more likely to cause misunderstandings." Kong Tianxu smiled inwardly, but still innocently extended a finger, his mysterious and noble dragon might faintly visible.
"Of course, no problem."
"Thanks."
Zhang Lexuan quickly calmed herself down; she had never done anything like this before. After calming down, she raised her hand, and the faint moonlight shone in her palm, making her skin appear even more radiant and fair.
Their fingertips touched. Suppressing the strange sensation of skin touching that came from the opposite sex, Zhang Lexuan slowly channeled her soul power, like a gentle stream flowing into Kong Tianxu's body.
Kong Tianxu did not resist. After letting Zhang Lexuan's soul power enter his body, he then activated his own soul power to meet it, preventing it from entering his meridians. He blocked Zhang Lexuan's soul power in the bone of his index finger.
Of course, he couldn't allow Zhang Lexuan's soul power to enter his body; that would be tantamount to handing his life over to her. No matter what Zhang Lexuan wanted to do, with his control, he could easily kill her with a single palm strike.
