Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

"What are these two up to? The atmosphere is completely different from before... Aren't they taking this way a bit too seriously?"

The intense killing intent emanating from Ledo and Ricky greatly shocked Gabbard, who was far away at the edge of the arena. His hair was whipped backward by a gust of wind, and the scepter in his hand was firmly planted on the ground, creating a faint red protective shield.

Having realized the significant gap in strength between himself and the two, Gabard had given up on a direct confrontation with Ledo and Ricky. This year's Magic Tournament has seen a surge of prodigies, and the Jogori Academy of Magic has already made it into the top three, which is quite an achievement.

Moreover, Gabard himself successfully ranked among the top three, gaining the opportunity to enter the depths of the Ancient Tree of Life to comprehend the Dharma. More importantly, he and the two current powerhouses have entered the Demon Soul Ranking of this generation, which is a tremendous achievement.

Although Gabard was also a beginner-level second-tier mage, on the same level as Regi and far superior to Ledo, he did not underestimate Ledo. At the start of the third match, he did not underestimate Ledo because of his mage level.

Now, Gabard is increasingly convinced that this Dark Messenger, a rare find in a millennium at the Mount Everest Magic Academy, must have even more powerful tricks up his sleeve. He is so mysterious that he can unleash magical energy comparable to that of a Magister.

How could Gabad know that Ledo's full-scale unleashing of his cultivation at this moment was not just because of the legal contest, but because he had confirmed Riki's identity and wanted to fight him to the death.

Leido summoned his magical artifact, the Tarot. The nine Tarot cards—the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Pagoda, the Chariot, the Sword, the Knight, the Angel, and the Devil—fluttered around him, shimmering with a pale white light, growing ever more intense.

Under the radiant energy, many images flashed through Leido's mind: the school bus hijacking incident from his childhood, in which several children his age perished, all for the evil sacrificial rituals of the Light and Shadow Society.

And then there was the highly respected old lord Soplow, who gave up his future to stay in Smallville and dedicate his life to the townspeople, but tragically died in the assassination attempt by the Shadow Society.

An unprecedented war of magical beasts broke out in the Great Beast Mountain, and almost all the magical beast groups on the periphery were wiped out. It was later confirmed that the Light and Shadow Society was behind it and that it was just an unverified rumor.

The Maria family's Eva ship was forcibly seized by the Demon Puppet Clan, who were not yet fully independent at the time, under the arrangement of the Light and Shadow Society, resulting in the massacre of many innocent crew members.

In a small seaside village, the Light and Shadow Society massacred the entire village of innocent villagers, almost all of whom died tragically, leaving only a handful of survivors, all for the purpose of testing the effects of the human corpse puppet.

Leido went to great lengths to enter the library of the Mount Everest Magic Academy, hoping to obtain the magical artifact—the Angel's Heart—that could rebuild his sister's body. However, it was stolen by an undercover agent from the Light and Shadow Society, and the artifact was later damaged, causing Leido's hopes to be completely shattered.

At the Mount Everest Magic Academy, the legendary puppet Legent, who had been hiding for many years, set his sights on the elemental goblin demon Xiaoqi and also coveted Leido's secret treasure, the Emperor Rainbow Feather Bow, almost killing Xiaoqi on the spot.

On Green Pearl Island, Ledo's friend Sovero's father sacrificed himself to protect innocent creatures, while the Leafwing Butterfly Dragon Clan was nearly wiped out by the Light and Shadow Society...

From childhood to adulthood, the Light and Shadow Society brought Ledo nothing but disaster and pain. Later, Ledo discovered that the Puppet Clan, who were closely related to the Light and Shadow Society, possessed Puppet Arts that were very similar to the Death Lock used by the Six Demon Souls of the Dead.

This means that the tragic fate of the Ledo family back then was very likely related to the Light and Shadow Society. Ledo's subsequent investigations all ended in vain, and the only person who knew some clues was Maria's father, Philip, but he also mysteriously disappeared.

As various events continued to surface, Leido's murderous intent became increasingly difficult to suppress. The nine Tarot cards seemed to sense their master's emotions, continuously emitting red light.

"Dragon's Summoning, Fire Dragon Descends, Blazing Flames Dance, Fire Come!" The innate magic circle at Leido Mingti fully unfolded, and a huge seven-pointed star magic circle also rapidly emerged from the ground at its summoning.

The seven tarot cards stood at the seven points of the seven-pointed star magic circle, with two tarot cards surrounding Leido in front and behind, all radiating a crimson light. The radiance changed from crimson to orange-white, and finally evolved into pure cyan, with a temperature even higher than before.

In an instant, a huge fiery dragon head rose from the burning seven-pointed star magic circle. The dragon, with its entire body in shades of blue, spewed out a strange black flame from its mouth, exuding a fierce and chilling aura.

Leido extracted the Netherworld Flame directly from the black flame soul body at Mingdi and added it to the Dragon Flame Curse. The giant mouth of the flame dragon opened, and the scorching dragon breath formed a wave of fire that burst forth and surged.

In an instant, the arena was ablaze with blue flames and wildly dancing black flames. The strange black flames were particularly eye-catching, constantly spinning and leaping, with blue and black intertwined, and heat and malevolence intertwined, making the scene extremely bizarre.

Ledo's lips curled up slightly. His spellcasting was not yet over. Taking advantage of the vigorous momentum and radiance of the Dragon Flame Curse, he quietly opened his hands, bent his middle and ring fingers to touch each other, and placed the other six fingers together, silently reciting the Five Elements Incantation.

"Five Elements Fire Technique, Samadhi True Fire, Three Flames Blazing the Sky, Burn!"

On Leido's Five Elements Wheel, the four hollow star points on the outer side of the Southern Fire position array and the one solid star point on the inner side all burst forth with red light, and the blazing fire spirit shone brightly.

Then, red, yellow and white flames spewed from Leido's eyes, nose and mouth respectively. These were the Upper Divine Fire, the Middle Essence Fire and the Lower Qi Fire. The three flames swirled and rose, eventually merging into a thick, pure blue flame, like a blue python.

Then, the five elements nascent soul in Ledo's dantian, which was also his elemental soul body, guided the Samadhi True Fire Technique with one hand and the Dragon Flame Curse with the other, and so easily fused the two together completely.

Suddenly, the fiery dragon head in front of Leido flew directly up from the seven-pointed star magic circle. The blue python body of the Samadhi True Fire Technique transformed into the dragon body of the Dragon Flame Curse, while the Netherworld Fiend Flame was the surging dragon breath. The scene was like three dragons meeting, about to burn away all evil.

"It's done... Samadhi Dragon Flame Technique!"

Leido smiled. The move that had failed before had finally succeeded. The blazing fire elemental power, the vigorous fire spiritual power, and the sinister underworld flames were all perfectly fused together under the control of the golden nascent soul.

In the blink of an eye, a magnificent and proud blue flame dragon, more than thirty meters long and more than three meters thick, appeared in the world. The fire dragon was unrestrained and its momentum was awe-inspiring.

Half of it was an unparalleled, frenzied blue wave, steaming the air and distorting space; the other half was a chilling, eerie black flame, whipping up a cold and domineering black flame storm that attacked the astonished Riki.

"Nether energy? It's also the power of the underworld! Who... exactly are you?"

This time, it was Reggie's turn to be shocked and utterly astonished. This domineering yet chilling black flame aura was of the same origin as his own Netherworld Poison. If Ledo could sense the Netherworld energy on his body, how could he not sense Ledo's Netherworld Flame?
