We can't escape anymore.
Wang Dong felt utterly powerless.
The wings of his Radiant Goddess Butterfly were nearly melting under the terrifying heat.
With Ma Xiaotao rapidly closing in, he was already considering whether to bring out the Clear Sky Hammer and smash her once.
Compared to staying alive, exposing the Clear Sky Hammer no longer mattered.
"Get behind me."
Tang Feng pulled Wang Dong behind him.
At the same time, he activated his Divine Dao Domain, turning the space within one chi in front of him into his personal world.
Boom—
Sensing a massive obstruction, Ma Xiaotao suddenly let out a shrill phoenix cry.
A gigantic Fire Phoenix appeared behind her.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings rose in succession.
Her second, third, and fifth soul rings lit up simultaneously, and the flames behind her instantly turned dark crimson.
Next, a small fire phoenix with a one-meter wingspan shot forward like a meteor, crashing straight toward Tang Feng and Wang Dong.
This was Ma Xiaotao's strongest single-target attack—
and it was aimed directly at them.
"We're finished…"
Wang Dong clenched the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand.
He was prepared for a final stand.
Even if he died here today, he would make her pay a heavy price.
"The space within one chi before me…"
"…is my world."
"Even gods are forbidden from entering."
Tang Feng's face darkened.
Within the Divine Dao Domain, even gods could not break in—let alone a Soul Emperor like Ma Xiaotao.
His third soul ring flashed.
A towering, god-like phantom appeared, holding a several-meter-long battle spear, thrusting straight at Ma Xiaotao.
The Blue Silver Battle Spear crackled faintly with lightning, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.
At that moment, Tang Feng's Absolute First Strike and Imperial Path Armor Removal conceptual traits activated simultaneously.
Whoosh—
The Blue Silver Battle Spear turned into a streak of light, as though it could pierce through everything in existence.
Tang Feng remained calm.
Even if this strike failed to disperse Ma Xiaotao's soul skill, the Divine Dao Domain would still protect them.
Bang!
The massive spear pierced straight through Ma Xiaotao's abdomen.
Her body was blasted backward dozens of meters.
However, Phoenix Piercing Strike did not collapse.
The small evil-fire phoenix slammed into the Divine Dao Domain and detonated, exploding into a sea of flames.
Scorching fire swept toward them.
Wang Dong felt intense burning pain on his back, as if he were about to be incinerated by evil flames.
He hurried forward, pressing tightly against Tang Feng's back.
Only then did the pain ease.
Only within that one-chi radius around Tang Feng existed an absolute domain, where no damage could penetrate.
Aside from consuming massive soul power, the domain had no real drawbacks.
Buzz—
Ma Xiaotao was enraged.
The evil-fire phoenix behind her trembled violently as fire meteors began appearing across Sea God Lake.
At some point, her sixth soul ring had lit up.
Phoenix Meteor Shower had been unleashed.
Waves of fire meteors fell like a storm, smashing toward Tang Feng and Wang Dong.
"You're courting death!"
Tang Feng was no one to sit and wait for destruction.
Logically speaking, with such a commotion, Inner Court teachers should already have arrived.
Yet none were in sight—astonishingly inefficient.
Without the Divine Dao Domain,
there was no way the two of them could withstand Ma Xiaotao's relentless bombardment.
Unless Huo Yuhao arrived and Tianmeng Iceworm used its original power—
This was almost a guaranteed death scenario.
(Unless the Tang God King personally intervened.)
Whoosh—
Goose-feather snow erupted outward from Tang Feng, rapidly spreading across the area.
Extreme cold swept over Sea God Lake, causing the temperature to plunge by dozens of degrees instantly.
Behind Tang Feng,
a peerlessly beautiful woman appeared.
Her snow-white hair flowed down to her feet.
Her sky-blue eyes were clear and ethereal, as though they could see through all things.
Though clearly a martial soul manifestation,
her gaze was vivid and alive—almost as if she were about to step into reality.
"Take this—Big Sword Slash!"
Tang Feng condensed Extreme Ice into a deep-blue crystalline longsword.
The blade was translucent like cold jade.
Each swing caused faint tears to appear in the surrounding space.
"Is that… a second martial soul?"
Wang Dong glanced at the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
He immediately put it away.
Compared to Tang Feng's power, his hammer suddenly looked pitifully weak.
Under Tang Feng's feet were two orange soul rings and one red soul ring.
This was utterly defying the heavens.
He possessed an Extreme Life first martial soul—
and an Extreme Ice second martial soul.
"Imperial Sword — Ice Extreme Unmatched!"
Tang Feng swung his sword.
The sky above Sea God Lake tore open.
A forty-meter-long crystalline ice greatsword slowly descended from the clouds.
Where its blade passed, space shattered violently.
Cracks of frozen void spread across the sky above Sea God Lake, as if even time itself were being sealed.
"That orange soul ring's power is insane…"
Wang Dong swallowed hard.
That Inner Court senior was likely in grave danger.
Tang Feng had only been at Shrek Academy for three days—
Yet chaos followed him everywhere.
First, Zhou Yi tried to expel him for skipping class.
Then he fought Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei.
Last night, Zhang Lexuan dragged him into the Inner Court Arena.
Now, an Inner Court senior was trying to kill him.
Wang Dong could feel it clearly—
Tang Feng was truly enraged.
"Stop!"
A furious shout rang out.
More than a dozen figures shot toward Ma Xiaotao at terrifying speed.
The Inner Court teachers had arrived—
And, as expected, their first concern was Ma Xiaotao, not the two Outer Court freshmen.
"Fall."
Tang Feng spoke softly.
Absolute First Strike is activated once again.
This conceptual trait did not target a single person—
It targeted everyone present.
Even if the Tang God King himself descended,
he could not snatch the target from Tang Feng's strike.
Only the target could attempt to block it.
All others were powerless.
Rumble—!
The forty-meter ice greatsword slammed down directly above Ma Xiaotao.
Her entire body erupted with evil phoenix flames.
She braced the sword with both hands—
and was forcibly smashed into the depths of Sea God Lake.
At the same time, the lake froze at a visible rate.
Tang Feng's strike shocked not only Yan Shaozhe and the others—
Even the Sea God Pavilion Elders were alarmed.
One figure after another appeared in the sky above the lake, witnessing the scene.
No one could have imagined—
that a mere Outer Court freshman could cause such devastation.
And the one being suppressed beneath the ice sword—
was Yan Shaozhe's own disciple,
the Inner Court genius, Ma Xiaotao.
"I told you to stop—can't you hear me?!"
Yan Shaozhe roared.
The aura of a Super Douluo exploded from his body.
As Shrek Academy's dean, he had ordered Tang Feng to stop—
Yet Tang Feng still forced the attack through.
What was even more outrageous—
Yan Shaozhe, a Super Douluo, couldn't intercept a soul skill from an Outer Court freshman.
This was equivalent to grinding his dignity into the dirt.
"Evil soul masters—"
"—are to be slain by all!"
Tang Feng stared coldly at the crowd.
Didn't Shrek Academy love defining evil soul masters?
Today, Tang Feng declared Ma Xiaotao one.
Anyone who objected could go argue with Xu Jiawei.
If the emperor wasn't enough—
Then bring Life Teacher and the Tang God King to confront him.
Wang Dong had suffered serious injuries this time.
This matter was far from over.
