A Phoenix Meteor Shower that would normally consume only a quarter of Ma Xiaotao's soul power, amplified by ample preparation time, nearly drained her entire inner reserve. Combined with the attribute enhancement of the Ultimate Fire, it unleashed a might that even a Defense-type Eight-Ring Soul Douluo could not withstand.
The price, however, was that Ma Xiaotao was completely drained, having to lean on Huo Yuhao just to keep up appearances and avoid making a fool of herself.
Even so, a Soul Douluo was still a Soul Douluo, especially a defense-type one. In the end, Ma Xiaotao hadn't managed to completely blast the opponent flat on his back, but this level of might was more than enough. In the eyes of that referee, Ma Xiaotao was undeniably a genuine Soul Saint, absolutely no doubt about it.
