Chapter 69: The Arrival of Yue Guan! Dugu Bo Makes a Move!

Following Ma Hongjun's instructions, Ning Fengzhi consumed the Tulip of Romance.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

A surge of energy coursed through his entire body's meridians, correcting the defects within him.

Suddenly feeling a sensation, he summoned his martial soul.

It did not look like there was much of a change.

"One, two, seven, eight, nine!"

"Fengzhi, your pagoda has two more levels!" Chen Xin said in shock.

"It really has two more levels!" Gu Rong also blinked his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong, but the result was the same, and he also revealed a look of shock.

He never expected that such an Immortal Herb still existed in the world.

"This is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that only our ancestors possessed! I never imagined that the solution to the defect that has always plagued our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would come from a single Immortal Herb," Ning Fengzhi said excitedly.

If they could let all their disciples transform into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then they would truly take off!

The next second, his soul power also rose to Level 80!

This meant that Ning Fengzhi could now absorb his eighth Spirit Ring! "Uncle Gu, Uncle Chen, I have broken through to Level 80 and can absorb my eighth Spirit Ring!" Ning Fengzhi said excitedly.

"There is no time to lose; we will set off immediately to find your eighth Spirit Ring!"

"Principal Ma, I leave Rongrong and the others to you."

Chen Xin and Gu Rong were already impatient to witness the support capabilities of a Level 80 Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

"Rest assured, they are all my students; I will not let anything happen to them," Ma Hongjun said.

The three nodded and quickly left the place.

"With Dugu Bo over there, it shouldn't be much of a problem; let's set up the array first." Ma Hongjun turned his head to look at Phoenix Academy; if nothing unexpected happened, this place would be his home from now on.

He began to act, drawing array patterns according to the array chapter in the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, placing them in every corner, and finally wrapping the entire Phoenix Academy within it.

He then channeled the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra to inject Phoenix Power, using the Phoenix Flame as the array eye to activate the Great Array! Hum! As beams of fire shot into the sky, they finally condensed into the totem of a pure-blooded Phoenix; a light barrier instantly enveloped the entire academy before fading into invisibility.

The array would notify Ma Hongjun if it detected anyone with hostile intent toward the academy.

It also possessed the properties of automatic repulsion, attack, and defense, and was capable of absorbing the enemy's power and converting it into his own power for a counterattack.

After finishing all this, he performed the Phoenix Transformation and flew toward the direction of the Phoenix Team.

In the Thorn Desert, the Phoenix Team, led by Dugu Bo, was training in this dangerous place.

Compared to before, they were now more mature and steady.

And their behavior was also more daring.

"Finally found you!"

Suddenly, an insidious voice rang out over the desert.

Immediately following, howling winds surged through the surrounding desert!

Sharp golden blades struck rapidly toward the Phoenix Team.

"Oh no, enemy attack! Everyone be careful!" Captain Zhu Zhuqing shouted.

Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Bai Chenxiang, Jiang Zhu, and the others summoned their martial souls one after another, immediately forming a formation they had practiced for a long time; it covered the front, back, left, right, top, and bottom, and this array could be called extremely difficult to break.

Unless the one breaking the array was a powerhouse with cultivation far exceeding theirs.

For example, a Spirit Douluo or a Title Douluo.

Facing the rain of blades shooting toward them, the women did not panic in the face of danger, each summoning Phoenix Flame of their respective attributes to meet the attack!

Ning Rongrong: "Defend!"

A nine-colored light descended, enveloping all seven women at once; the other girls also unleashed their defensive powers, and the double-layered defensive effect became even more powerful! It faintly held an indestructible momentum! Bang, bang, bang!!!!!!!!!!

In a part of the desert, Dugu Bo, who was meditating with his eyes closed, sensed danger and suddenly opened his eyes to look.

"A Title Douluo with this aura, how familiar... it's Old Chrysanthemum's."

A look of disgust flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.

"Just as the Principal said, the people from the Spirit Hall couldn't hold back and made a move against us."

"It's a pity, though; this old man is no longer the Level 92 Title Douluo of the past! I am a Ninety-Fifth Level Peak Douluo!"

A trace of gloom flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes: "It is perfect to take this opportunity to settle both new and old scores at once!"

"But there is no rush; although the Phoenix Team only has six people, their level of coordination is very strong. It is perfect for Yue Guan to let them practice their skills. I will watch first and intervene at the critical moment."

Dugu Bo performed the Phoenix Transformation and escaped into the high sky; he did not go down to intervene directly but silently watched the battle below. As long as the six women were not defeated, he would immediately step in to save the situation.

This was not difficult for him.

And this was also what Ma Hongjun had specifically instructed when he left.

Such a rare training opportunity must not be missed.

As the smoke dissipated, the six women were already locked in intense combat with a golden figure; everyone coordinated in an orderly manner, holding nothing back, and exerted all their true abilities!

The strength of the six women shocked Yue Guan greatly.

What kind of monsters were these?

He, a dignified Ninety-Fifth Level Peak Douluo, actually could not take down these six girls?

They were not even Soul Emperors! "Your talent is quite good; I will give you a chance to pledge loyalty to the Spirit Hall. As long as you join the Spirit Hall, I can spare you!" Yue Guan felt a sense of appreciation for their talent and could not bear to kill these people.

If he could really persuade them to join the Spirit Hall, it would not only be a great achievement for him, but he would also have recruited six super geniuses for the Spirit Hall!

These people were definitely future Title Douluos! Three of the people in the team had even reached the Soul King level.

The rest were all Soul Ancestors.

They just looked very young; this was even more monstrous than the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall! "Dream on! We are people of the Phoenix Academy! We are Phoenix people in life, and Phoenix ghosts in death!"

Facing a Title Douluo, the six women were not as monstrous as Ma Hongjun, and they were struggling quite a bit.

Defeating him was simply not very possible.

But even if they wanted to run, Yue Guan would not be able to catch them.

"Very well! For the sake of the future of the Spirit Hall, please all go to your deaths!" Yue Guan's expression was gloomy, killing intent emerged, and golden light frantically gathered on his body.

"Sixth soul skill: Cold Fragrance Gathering!"

The next second, the golden light gathered on his body shot violently outward! "Yue Guan, a dignified Title Douluo, actually lowering yourself to bully the younger generation?"

Just as the light was about to hit the rest of them, and they were about to use Phoenix Transformation to leave, an aged voice rang out from the horizon.

Immediately following, a verdant green figure appeared, blocking in front of the six women, displaying a Phoenix Martial Soul on their body, and raising a hand to easily catch the incoming beam of light.

"The Spirit Hall, truly a bunch of petty people who cannot bear to see the light!" Dugu Bo said disdainfully.

"Old Poisonous Creature! You! How could you be here!?"

Yue Guan, who had thought he was about to succeed, had his pupils constrict and said in shock.

Dugu Bo gave him a feeling of extreme danger!

"This old man is the Phoenix Academy Grand Elder, why do you think I am here? Coming over to kill people from my academy without even asking about this old man's prowess!?" Dugu Bo's words were icy.

On the desert, dark clouds covered the sky, and gusts of wind blew, whipping up the surrounding sand and dust to form a massive sandstorm.

Faintly, the sound of thunder could be heard.
