Remember! You are not anyone's subordinate!
Among those present.
Only Yan Song was a little confused by this sentence.
But the other five girls all understood Lin Xiao and why he said this.
Because Lin Xiao was simply too outstanding.
When the sun hangs high in the sky, the stars lose their light, and even the bright moon appears dim and lackluster.
Lin Xiao's meaning was that he didn't want the Soul Master Competition to turn into his exclusive personal show, leaving everyone with a deep impression of only Lin Xiao, and instead overlooking the Burning Maple Battle Team as a group.
He wanted everyone to do their best to showcase their most excellent side, to write a vibrant and colorful chapter of their youthful years in front of all the Soul Masters on the continent.
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, all the members of the Burning Maple Battle Team fell into contemplation, feeling a faint sense of boiling passion.
Everyone has a desire to perform, and isn't the Soul Master Competition the dream of every young Soul Master? It was just that when Lin Xiao was around, everyone tacitly restrained their brilliance.
However, Lin Xiao took a step back on his own initiative and told them encouragingly:
"Boldly show yourselves!"
"The Soul Master Competition belongs to all of us!"
Thus, a blazing fire ignited in their hearts.
At this moment, Feng Yu's voice sounded in Lin Xiao's mind.
"Lin Xiao, I feel like you've changed a bit."
"How have I changed?"
"Before, you were always cautious, seemingly afraid that everything you possessed would be destroyed, cultivating almost obsessively. You gave people the feeling of being like..."
"Like you were always hiding and developing, wishing you were invincible before coming out?"
"Yes, exactly."
Feng Yu said with some relief:
"You don't know how much my heart ached for you. If you had to silently cultivate until you were the strongest, how many beatings would you have to endure? And what kind of mental pressure would you put on yourself?"
"Constantly lowering your head and rushing on the road is too tiring, and you might even lose the joy of the journey. Sometimes, it's good to look up and see the scenery along the way."
"You're doing great now. You're no longer like you were before, mature beyond your years. You finally have that youthful, unrestrained arrogance."
Lin Xiao laughed heartily.
"Then, Feng Yu, do you know why I've changed like this?"
"It's all because of you."
"You gave me this confidence."
Simply put, the previous Lin Xiao didn't dare to gamble. After all, the cruelest part of reality is that it doesn't give you a chance to start over.
One wrong step, and it's an endless abyss.
But after Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian's strength significantly improved.
Especially after Feng Yu's Nirvana.
Lin Xiao had the cost of trial and error.
"Feng Yu, what I'm most grateful for is meeting you. Having you silently help me all the way has also given me the confidence to look down on the world."
Feng Yu's importance was self-evident.
However, to Feng Yu, what Lin Xiao said wasn't just cheesy, it was downright cringe-inducing!
How did this guy suddenly become so good with words?
"Hmph, do you even need to say that?"
Whether it was an illusion or not, Lin Xiao actually heard a few traces of panic and shyness in Feng Yu's deliberately calm voice.
Lin Xiao said with considerable emotion:
"Don't mention it, I'm quite grateful to Ning Fengzhi. If he hadn't given me that Crimson Demon Azure Kite Egg, how would I have met you?"
"This must be fate."
Hearing this, Feng Yu rolled her eyes.
Fate my ass!
Even if there was some fate, it was fate that this old lady forced!
Even without the Crimson Demon Azure Kite Egg, Feng Yu would have come to Lin Xiao's side in various forms. Did he not know that he had been targeted long ago?
Feng Yu's faint voice sounded.
"Lin Xiao, let's just say, is there a possibility?"
"Hmm?"
"No matter what, we would have met. Otherwise, where would there be so many coincidences in this world? Why did I happen to come to your side?"
Lin Xiao blinked.
After realizing what Feng Yu meant by saying this, an extremely strong sense of joy actually surged in his heart. That feeling was even more refreshing than after Nirvana rebirth!
"Good daughter! Your dad didn't dote on you for nothing!"
"Get lost!"
...
At this time, everyone in the Burning Maple Battle Team had recovered, and the look in their eyes towards Lin Xiao was not just admiration and trust, but also some other colors.
It's a bit like... filial piety?
However, everything Lin Xiao said was from the heart.
After Dugu Yan's Martial Soul evolved into the Silver Horn Azure Jade Flood Dragon, she also learned the Poison Burst Technique. At the same time, she and Ye Lingling had the Emerald Phosphorous Begonia Martial Soul Fusion Skill. In the path of poison Soul Masters, she could be said to be unprecedented.
She was a genius among geniuses in the poison Soul Master field! It was foreseeable that in her entire era, almost no one could surpass her!
It wasn't just Dugu Yan.
Who could compare to Shui Binger's Ultimate Ice Phoenix, Ice Burst Technique, and the Absolute Zero · Winter Kingdom Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Ye Lingling's Nine Hearted Begonia, like Ye Qingxian's, had the ability to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones. Wasn't that also unparalleled in grace? Lin Xiao even felt that even if he didn't intervene, the Burning Maple Battle Team could suppress the other teams.
Well, except for Spirit Hall's Martial Soul Fusion Skill and Tang San's cheating Hidden Weapon techniques.
But Lin Xiao would handle those for them.
In the following time, Ning Rongrong and Yan Song had been working hard to cultivate, striving to break through to Soul Ancestor before the Soul Master Competition finals.
Lin Xiao also carefully observed the Burning Maple Battle Team's team play for a while, and during this time, he joined in and tried to make a few moves, quickly aligning with everyone's ideas.
In reality, the main coordination was between Lin Xiao, Shui Binger, Dugu Yan, and Shui Yue'er. Their tacit understanding went without saying.
As for Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, they only needed to release skills from the back row to provide support.
Yan Song's task was even simpler: he just needed to react immediately and protect the two support-type Soul Masters.
As time passed.
Ning Rongrong broke through to level 40 two months later and, with the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, hunted for her Fourth Soul Ring.
Yan Song's progress was slightly slower, but fortunately, Lin Xiao specially prepared some Medicinal Cuisine for him, which greatly accelerated his cultivation speed. It was estimated that he could barely reach Soul Ancestor before the Soul Master Competition finals.
It was now the end of the third month.
Tomorrow, Heaven Dou City would hold the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition.
Shui Binger quietly came to Lin Xiao's room, her face flushed, and she stammered:
"Brother Lin Xiao, Binger has saved up a lot again. Can we continue Dual Cultivation?"
Lin Xiao nodded.
His Yin Yang Phoenix Nirvana Profound Chapter was basically complete, and Shui Binger had stored up a full half year's worth of Yin Energy.
And his fire energy was also very strong.
They needed to Dual Cultivate properly to complement each other.
...
In the room next door.
Ye Lingling poked Dugu Yan's arm, "Oh dear, they've started again."
Dugu Yan said lazily:
"Let them start."
"It's not the first time anyway."
"If it wasn't serious business, the rice would have been cooked long ago. If it is serious business, there's nothing to care about."
Saying that, Dugu Yan pulled the blanket.
"Sleep!"
However, Ye Lingling crawled over, wrapped her arms around Dugu Yan's waist and squeezed, then gradually moved upwards.
"You little brat! What are you touching?"
"Sister Yanyan, why do I feel like you've gotten bigger again? How do you grow like this!"
"I grow just by drinking water, what can I do?"
"Tsk."
Ye Lingling's mood instantly became unhappy.
