Lin Xiao's gaze swept across the crowd, landing on a disheveled man in an inconspicuous corner who was looking towards Shrek Academy.
Lin Xiao glanced over but didn't stare.
He left with Dugu Bo.
...
Tang Hao, who was surrounded and attacked by Bibidong and her followers that day, seemed invincible, suppressing several Titled Douluo to the point where they couldn't lift their heads. However, he was actually at the end of his rope, just putting on a brave front.
Over-exerting his body left him with almost no strength to fight again.
Fortunately, his earth-shattering aura scared Bibidong, making her retreat. Otherwise, Tang Hao would have faced a dead end.
Bibidong was too afraid of death.
She chased Tang Hao for profit, not out of hatred. Therefore, even with ample preparation, she ultimately failed.
She didn't want to get injured herself, nor did she want the Titled Douluo under her command to die, so she was hesitant.
Tang Hao, having nothing to lose, was fearless and acted without restraint.
However, after throwing Ma Hongjun into Slaughter City, his injuries relapsed, causing him to hide and recuperate, not daring to show his face.
Now that his injuries had stabilized, the Soul Master Competition was about to begin.
Tang Hao rushed back in a hurry.
His gaze swept over the crowd, looking at Xiao Wu in the Shrek Team, feeling confused.
Strange, why can't I tell she's a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast anymore?
Could it be a special concealment method for hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts?
...
After intense battles, the preliminary rounds of the Soul Master Competition concluded.
The Shrek Team ultimately qualified for the finals.
Huo Wu, who lost to the Shrek Team, looked unwilling. Recalling how she had previously gone to the Burning Maple Battle Team and said harsh words, only to fail to even reach the finals, her face flushed with shame.
Ultimately, she still found Feng Xiaotian.
The two teams from Wind God Academy and Blazing Fire Academy merged to form the Wind God Blazing Fire Team. After reaching certain understandings with the Spirit Hall Academy Team, they received approval from Spirit Hall and qualified for the finals.
Three days later would be the finals of the Soul Master Competition.
Location: Spirit City!
...
The Burning Maple Battle Team traveled to Spirit City by carriage to participate in the finals.
At this time, Yan Song had already obtained his Fourth Soul Ring.
He knew the gap in talent between himself and the others in the Burning Maple Battle Team. Although he didn't say anything, he returned to his family and requested a thousand-year Soul Bone to enhance the effect of his defensive skills and break through to Soul Ancestor.
He also made sacrifices with his Fourth Soul Skill.
All of his Soul Skills were protective.
Yan Song's Fourth Soul Skill was called "Thousand Rock Array".
Coupled with his Third Soul Skill, "Tortoise Shell Guard," even with two support Soul Masters in the team, he could maximize their safety.
Getting out of the carriage, Lin Xiao looked at Spirit City. Compared to Heaven Dou City, Spirit City was slightly less prosperous, but in terms of order and aura, it subtly surpassed it.
The competition adopted a drawing system.
In the first round, the Burning Maple Battle Team drew the Star Luo Academy Team.
In the square in front of the Pope's Palace, the two teams were preparing to enter the arena before the match, able to see each other.
The Star Luo Royal Academy Team looked at the Burning Maple Battle Team with surprise, simply because the majority of the Burning Maple Battle Team members were female, with only Lin Xiao and Yan Song being male.
A team member poked Davis's arm, "His Highness the First Prince, all those girls are gathered around that pretty boy. He's living a better life than you, more like a prince."
Davis glared at him and sneered:
"A team with mostly female Soul Masters, their combat power is imaginable. The Heaven Dou Empire is really going downhill. What, are they going to let women fight on the battlefield too?"
However, these girls were indeed attractive.
Davis suppressed the urge to lick his lips, his gaze sweeping over the girls in the Burning Maple Battle Team, especially lingering on Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan was 22 by lunar age, with the best figure. Her cold and beautiful face, combined with her cool older sister aura, was at the peak of her charm.
Zhu Zhuyun saw Davis's little movements, but as the Prince Consort, she didn't say much, not even scolding him, because she couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao either.
As the First Prince Consort, falling in love with Davis was out of necessity, but undoubtedly, Lin Xiao's appearance was most in line with her aesthetic, full of nobility and stunning beauty.
On the Burning Maple Battle Team's side, the girls' faces were frosty.
"I hate that guy with the golden hair, his eyes are disgusting."
Dugu Yan said coldly.
Lin Xiao hadn't even stared like that, and he was already looking?
Shui Binger blinked her eyes. "Sister Yanyan, how about we focus on that blonde guy when the fight starts?"
While there was some underlying competition between her, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, their private relationship was still quite good. After all, Shui Binger owed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling a favor.
She was also very grateful for Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian's help towards Lin Xiao.
Dugu Yan shook her head.
"There's no need to change our battle plan because of him."
"Just hit him and make sure it hurts."
As the Vice Captain of the Burning Maple Battle Team, Dugu Yan acted as the captain for most of the time. Therefore, her personality was extremely rational, and she wouldn't let personal emotions affect the team.
Lin Xiao glanced at Davis but didn't say anything.
...
Soon, after both teams were ready.
The announcement of the match starting came from inside.
The Burning Maple Battle Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team walked into the Spirit Hall Soul Arena.
In the stands.
Huo Wu stared intently at Lin Xiao. This young man, who didn't seem to care about her at all, had yet to reveal any of his strength, making him full of mystery, yet also feeling very distant.
It seemed that besides the few girls around him, no one could get close to him.
She wanted to attract Lin Xiao's attention, and the best way was to show her strength in front of him. The best outcome would be to defeat Lin Xiao, and then, as the superior party, take the initiative to humble herself and get to know Lin Xiao.
This match between the Burning Maple Battle Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team was undoubtedly a rare opportunity to gauge the strength of the Burning Maple Battle Team.
But as she stared at Lin Xiao, watching and watching...
Huo Wu started to get distracted.
Lin Xiao was truly handsome from every angle, 360 degrees without any blind spots.
It seemed even his strands of hair were stirring the hearts of young girls.
Feng Xiaotian noticed Huo Wu's abnormality and followed her gaze. Soon, he had a face like he had eaten shit, extremely ugly.
He silently clenched his fists.
The anger in his heart, because of his forbearance, made him look forward to the moment of eruption even more.
The Shrek Team in the distance.
Zhu Zhuqing saw Lin Xiao again. He was still as radiant and incomparably handsome as ever. Unfortunately, she seemed to be just a passerby in his life. Being able to watch from a distance was already great fortune.
This time, Dai Mubai didn't observe Zhu Zhuqing darkly, fantasizing about being cuckolded by Lin Xiao, or going mad with anger because of Zhu Zhuqing's emotional infidelity.
His eyes were fixed on Davis.
Then they fell on Lin Xiao.
His heart couldn't help but be filled with darkness:
Fight, fight! No matter who gets beaten to death, he would applaud.
