Chapter 102: DEFEAT!

The moment the explosion rang out, Qian Renxue, far away at the Taizi Fu, abruptly cast her gaze toward the direction of the Phoenix Academy.

For some reason, her heart was beating rapidly, and she felt an inexplicable panic.

She felt as if something bad was about to happen.

"Why has it suddenly become so hot? The entire Taizi Fu palace just shook; could it be related to this massive explosion?"

"What on earth is this Phoenix Academy doing?"

"She Long, why don't you go over and take a look?"

Qian Renxue said, feeling agitated.

"Young Master, that explosion over there is terrifying. I feel that if I were the one caught in it, I would die."

She Long walked out from the shadows, looking toward the direction of the Phoenix Academy with a grave expression; he swallowed hard, sensing a crisis of death.

"I suspect that someone from the Offering Hall made a move against the Phoenix Academy, but looking at it now, it seems things are not going well."

"That kind of terrifying flame and temperature is simply not something any Offering Douluo within the Offering Hall could produce."

She Long's words made Qian Renxue feel even more uneasy.

"Watch from a distance," Qian Renxue said.

"Understood." She Long nodded and left immediately.

"Phoenix Academy, truly a thorny and major variable!"

Qian Renxue frowned and sighed.

According to intelligence sent by spies in the Outer Academy within the Phoenix Academy, the current Phoenix Academy actually possessed six Title Douluo!

However, the information was already outdated; with the addition of the soon-to-join Shui Mitao, there were a total of seven Title Douluo!

And the lowest among them were at Level 95!

Dugu Bo had even reached the level of 97th Level! It could be said that their combat power far surpassed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Even without knowing about Shui Mitao, six Title Douluo were already astonishing enough.

"The Phoenix Academy is able to make people break through to Title Douluo in a short time; could all of this be related to the Mutation Supreme Treasure?"

"If we could obtain this Supreme Treasure, there would definitely be many high-level combatants at the Title Douluo level in the future!"

"It is just a pity that I am currently stretched too thin; I can only appropriately guide that old thing Xue Ye to see if I can make him use the power of the Imperial Family to suppress them."

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue took the initiative to walk toward the Imperial Palace.

As for Emperor Xue Ye, the second after the explosion occurred, he immediately sent secret agents to the front line to collect intelligence.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin did not go to the Phoenix Academy today, but Gu Rong had gone to the Outer Academy to teach.

They were also frightened by the sudden massive explosion.

"The direction of the explosion is the Phoenix Academy."

"What kind of trouble are they stirring up over there again?"

"It cannot be the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, so it must be people from the Spirit Hall or the Star Luo Empire."

The two looked toward the direction of Phoenix Mountain, and Chen Xin said gravely: "This terrifying flame temperature and explosive power—even I am not confident I could take it head-on without being damaged!"

"Uncle Gu is over there; we cannot leave, otherwise there will be no one to hold down the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"We can only wait for him to return before understanding the situation."

Ning Fengzhi said with lingering fear.

Phoenix Academy, above the Supreme Firmament.

After the smoke from the explosion cleared.

An incomparably disheveled figure appeared.

One could see the Six-Winged Angel True Body, missing half of its torso, in a state of utter ruin.

Qian Daoliu, who was piloting it from within, was coughing incessantly; his hair was blown apart, and his Armor was severely damaged.

Qian Daoliu's eyes were filled with terror and a look of unbelievable shock.

He never imagined that the opponent's move would be this terrifying! And he was a Peerless Douluo who had activated his Spirit Avatar!

In the end, if not for his use of the Angel Divine Power's blessing, perhaps both the Six-Winged Angel True Body and he himself would have been melted by this terrifying high-temperature flame! Terrible! Too terrible!

Looking at the massive Phoenix figure in front, Qian Daoliu's eyes were full of wariness and lingering fear.

He had almost died at the hands of a Spirit Saint! Who would believe this if it were told?

"This battle ends here!" Qian Daoliu said calmly, enduring the injuries on his body.

"Fine." Ma Hongjun looked at the other's miserable state and did not press the attack; if he really pushed a Peerless Demigod who had completely abandoned all caution into a desperate counterattack before death, it would be terrifying, and he might even mess up himself.

"From now on, the Spirit Hall must not make a move against the Phoenix Academy again!" Ma Hongjun added: "Our Phoenix Academy will not bring slaughter to the continent! But peace! And auspiciousness!"

"Fine, I promise you!"

Upon hearing the other's promise, Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth and nodded.

The main reason was that this fellow's strength was too terrifying.

He dared not imagine how terrifying it would be if Ma Hongjun were allowed to break through to Spirit Douluo and Title Douluo! "Leave." Ma Hongjun nodded.

Qian Daoliu turned and ran.

No, he was not running away, but making a tactical retreat.

After he left, Ma Hongjun also deactivated his True Body state; his entire complexion was pale, and he felt somewhat weak.

Dealing with a Peerless Douluo at full strength was quite strenuous and consumed a great deal.

Fortunately, his Phoenix True Body and Wutong Tree Domain were powerful enough.

As the Spirit Avatar disappeared, the surrounding fire clouds were also gone, and the high-temperature world vanished from sight.

Ma Hongjun's figure flew toward the Phoenix Academy.

In the process, he mobilized the Divine Skill: Resurrection Dew to recover.

In no time at all, he had recovered to his peak state.

Dugu Bo was the first to come out to meet him.

"Principal, how is the situation?"

Dugu Bo stepped forward to ask.

The remaining Title Douluo Elders also arrived in unison.

Through Dugu Bo, they had all learned that the person who had been fighting was their own Principal.

That terrifying power from just a moment ago—even now that the battle had ended, its lingering force still made him feel palpitations; if they had faced such an explosion head-on, even with their martial souls evolved, it seemed they would have died! "I am fine. The person who came was Qian Daoliu, the Great Elder of the Spirit Hall, a Level 99 peak Peerless Douluo. He has now been defeated by me and has fled."

Ma Hongjun stood with his hands behind his back, head slightly raised, and spoke.

Once these words were spoken, everyone was shocked: "A Peerless Douluo!"

They could not help but gasp: "Principal, you are too awesome! Even a Peerless Douluo is no match for you!"

"In this world, could it be that unless a god descends in person, no one is your match?"

She Gong said.

"Hehe, keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

"As I am now, I am only a Spirit Saint, and there is still a great deal of room for improvement."

"One must constantly learn and grow stronger."

Ma Hongjun said with a chuckle.

"Alright, you may all disperse."

"For a very long time, the Spirit Hall will not come to our Phoenix Academy again."

Hearing this, the crowd dispersed one after another.

Gu Rong, who had been teaching, also left and returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at the first opportunity to tell Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin about what had happened here.

Ma Hongjun's strength was far more terrifying than they had imagined! The other party was already a Spirit Saint, yet possessed the power to kill a Title Douluo! Such a monster! One must either completely eradicate him or completely befriend him.

"No matter what, the Spirit Hall has suffered a huge loss this time. If this news spreads, the Spirit Hall's reputation will be completely swept away!"

Chen Xin said: "Should we immediately arrange for people to spread it?"

"No, let us just keep this matter to ourselves; do not create extra complications."

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment, but shook his head and said.
