On the Soul Fighting Stage, only Oscar and Ma Hongjun remained. The two stood facing each other, with a distance of thirty meters between them.
Oscar's training no longer required a referee because he himself was the best judge.
"Ma Hongjun, Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix, Level 46 Assault type Battle Soul Master."
As Ma Hongjun's voice fell, four soul rings two yellow and two purple rose around him. Fiery flames surged around his body, emitting a loud phoenix cry. The terrifying aura of his Level 46 soul power surged toward Oscar.
Ma Hongjun was already the most explosive person in Shrek Academy, and his attacks were almost always explosive, never needing to conceal anything.
After releasing his Martial Soul, his entire aura became very domineering, carrying the distinct presence of the king of all birds.
It appeared as if a phoenix crown had appeared atop his head, and suddenly, a pair of fiery wings materialized behind him, made entirely of fire. Four golden feather chains hung from the base of his tail bone, trailing behind him.
Ma Hongjun flapped his fiery wings and soared into the air, looking down at Oscar from above.
As Ma Hongjun's aura expanded, the terrifying flames seemed to distort the surrounding air. Compared to the clone he fought earlier, Ma Hongjun at Level 46 was even more oppressive, both in terms of aura and presence. Ma Hongjun had surpassed the clone.
Oscar, smiling gently, watched Ma Hongjun. His body was surrounded by an icy blue light, and he slowly raised his right hand, a long sword of the same color appearing in his grip.
With the appearance of this sword, Oscar's silver hair turned ice blue, and his crystal like ice blue eyes slowly opened. The once heated air around Ma Hongjun seemed to start freezing under Oscar's gaze.
At the same time, four soul rings two yellow and two purple rose around Oscar's body. The pressure of his Level 46 soul power pressed toward Ma Hongjun.
Oscar suppressed his soul power to Level 46, the same level as Ma Hongjun, to narrow the gap between them.
After releasing his Martial Soul, Oscar transformed from the warm and jadelike young man into a cold and noble figure. Within Oscar's soul power pressure, besides the terrifying cold ice, there was also an unmistakable sharp sword intent.
"Oscar, Martial Soul: Frost Moon Sword, Level 46 Assault type Battle Soul Master."
Oscar had replicated his teacher's Martial Soul because it was difficult to find a soul master at the same level with a Martial Soul comparable to Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix.
Below, the crowd watching the two release their Martial Souls couldn't help but exclaim.
Although they had already seen Ma Hongjun use his Martial Soul before, it was always incredibly domineering.
Oscar, too, was at the peak of Shrek Academy's beauty, yet he still looked so handsome?
But Oscar wasn't showing off; after all, Ma Hongjun's power was equally formidable.
Ma Hongjun had also absorbed soul rings that were above his level from the beginning and later consumed the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. Now, at Level 46, he could stand his ground even against a Soul King without much issue.
Moreover, this was before Oscar had assigned him any soul bones. If Ma Hongjun were to acquire a soul bone, his power would increase even further.
Ma Hongjun calmly stared at Oscar, his body surrounded by raging flames. The next moment, he flapped his fire wings and dove straight toward Oscar.
At the same time, his hands transformed into enormous fiery phoenix claws, formed by Ma Hongjun condensing his flames to the utmost. These claws were not only capable of slicing through steel, but every strike also caused a terrifying explosion of flames, enough to severely injure the opponent.
"Phoenix Nine Styles: Phoenix Explosion Claw!"
This was a self created soul skill system that Ma Hongjun had perfected over many years. The Phoenix Seal, Phoenix Claw, and others had fused into the current Phoenix Nine Styles. However, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Nine Styles were still incomplete, with only four techniques finished.
But even with just these, Ma Hongjun had surpassed most soul masters. His Phoenix Nine Styles were on par with soul skills in terms of power, and they used far less soul power, making them his exclusive skills.
The Phoenix Explosion Claw focused all the attack power into one point, and the claws, formed entirely of endless flames, made it hard for most people to directly block.
However, Oscar was not just anyone.
"Self created soul skills..." Oscar smiled slightly as he watched Ma Hongjun dive toward him. "Let's see it."
Oscar slowly raised his sword. The icy blue soul power around him glowed brightly as an immense icy aura began to condense.
"Cold Ice Sword Three Feet of Ice!"
Endless cold ice aura condensed on the Frost Moon Sword. When it reached its peak, Oscar suddenly slashed at Ma Hongjun.
A terrifying and chilling ice sword energy shot out, and Ma Hongjun grabbed it with his claws.
In the next moment, Ma Hongjun's expression changed slightly because Oscar's ice attribute was completely on par with his own purified Phoenix flames, and it seemed to be of even slightly higher quality.
"Sss!"
When the cold ice collided with the raging flames, vast amounts of steam surged, gradually engulfing the two fighters.
But the next moment, the steam around Oscar was frozen, while the steam around Ma Hongjun was directly vaporized by the intense flames surrounding him.
As the steam cleared, Oscar looked at Ma Hongjun, who was unharmed, and couldn't help but praise, "Not bad. Your selfcreated soul skill has definitely improved in power."
Ma Hongjun chuckled. "Boss, there's something even more powerful!"
As he spoke, Ma Hongjun's second and third soul rings immediately lit up.
"Second Soul Skill: Bathing Phoenix!"
"Third Soul Skill: Phoenix Cloud Strike!"
Under the enhancement of his second soul skill, Ma Hongjun's third soul skill became terrifyingly powerful. A colossal fire phoenix materialized behind him, and Ma Hongjun seemed to merge with it.
In the next moment, the giant phoenix descended from the sky, locking onto Oscar below.
Oscar smiled slightly. He raised his ice sword, and an overwhelming amount of soul power surged forth. The ice blue light erupted, and a gigantic cold ice sword over five meters long instantly took shape.
"Condense the Ice, Giant Sword Breaks the Sky!"
Oscar swung his arm, sending the enormous ice sword slicing toward the towering fire phoenix.
Ice and fire were destined not to coexist. When the blazing fire phoenix collided with the unmatched cold ice giant sword, a massive shock wave erupted.
In mid air, the flames and ice clashed, but the ice sword seemed to have the upper hand, starting to pierce through the fire phoenix's body as if it were going to pierce straight through it.
