"Spirit Hall..."
The frosty moonlight shone through the forest.
The burly Tang Hao stared at the Pope's Palace in the distance, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
After the Soul Master Competition, Xiao San's time at the academy should end.
His growth rate must accelerate.
Three things must be done after the Soul Master Competition:
First, teach Xiao San all the Clear Sky Ultimate Skills;
Second, help Xiao San awaken his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline;
Third, go to Slaughter City to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain.
Thinking of this, a hint of gloom flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
Even now, he didn't know how his A Yin and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone hidden in the cave were lost. The most important thing was the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone; that was something he had left for Tang San!
He wished he could tear the thief into ten thousand pieces!
But fortunately, he hadn't forced the Blue Silver King to help A Yin recover back then. Now, it could be used to help Xiao San awaken his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, and incidentally, allow Xiao San to obtain a high-quality Soul Ring.
"Before taking Xiao San away, I will personally show myself and make Spirit Hall remember the fear of being dominated by the power of the Clear Sky Hammer once again!"
"It's just a pity..."
There was only one thing Tang Hao was very conflicted about right now.
How did Xiao Wu manage to conceal the Soul Beast aura on her body?
If only she could actively reveal it and be pursued...
This child Xiao San and Xiao Wu already had feelings for each other. He probably wouldn't be able to bring himself to kill Xiao Wu to seize her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Moreover, with his current Soul Power, he couldn't absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring unless it was a sacrifice like A Yin's.
Tang Hao frowned tightly, finding it very troublesome.
...
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong summoned Hu Liena alone.
She wore a loose silver-white Pope Robe, which still couldn't hide her curvaceous figure. Her wine-red hair was coiled up, and her willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"Nana, do you have the confidence to defeat this Burning Maple Battle Team?"
Hu Liena took a deep breath.
"Teacher, no."
"That Emerald Phosphorous Divine Light Martial Soul Fusion Skill can be countered with special clothing, and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of those two Soul Ancestors, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, probably can't match the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of my brother and I, two Soul Kings."
"Based on the strength the Burning Maple Battle Team has shown, we are confident we can defeat them, but Lin Xiao, who is at the head of their team, has never made a move."
"We don't have absolute certainty of victory."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, not blaming her, and said faintly:
"Then the next match will be the Shrek Team against the Burning Maple Battle Team. Let's see if we can force out more of their strength, so you can prepare in advance."
Facing Bibi Dong's good intentions, Hu Liena shook her head and refused:
"We've inquired. The Shrek Team only has one Soul King, Yu Tianheng. It's said he was promoted using various methods of pulling up seedlings to help them grow, so he's very weak."
"The Shrek Team's performance is probably not even as good as the two teams that lost before."
"There's no need for this. We'll directly face the Burning Maple Battle Team."
The pressure the Burning Maple Battle Team brought to the participating teams was simply too great.
Let alone going all out!
Until now, they hadn't even seen the entire team go all out!
If they dragged it out further, not only would they fail to deplete the opponent's strength, but they would also allow the opponent to continue their winning streak, gaining momentum, which would likely make them even harder to deal with.
Bibi Dong obviously understood this principle.
She pondered for a moment and agreed.
"Alright, then the next match, you will face the Burning Maple Battle Team!"
Bibi Dong suddenly sighed faintly, "Speaking of which, after the Soul Master Competition, regardless of the outcome, Nana, you will have to go to Slaughter City. Are you sure you've made up your mind?"
"That place... is Hell."
Hu Liena's foxy eyes, with most of their charm gone, said firmly:
"Many people in the palace question my position as Saintess, believing that it's because the teacher favors me. I know you've endured a lot of pressure, Teacher."
"I think I should share some of the burden for you."
"Furthermore, I also want to walk the path that the teacher once walked..."
Bibi Dong felt a pang of affection in her heart. She walked down from her seat, stroked Hu Liena's head, and said softly:
"Nana, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Although she had her biological daughter, Qian Renxue, she regarded her as an enemy, and their mother-daughter relationship existed in name only. Her guilt made her transfer her love to Hu Liena.
For Qian Renxue, wasn't this also a form of being cuckolded?
...
"Next match, the Burning Maple Battle Team against the Spirit Hall Academy Team!"
Hearing this news, Lin Xiao was slightly surprised.
He had originally thought they would be fighting the Shrek Team, but unexpectedly it was the Spirit Hall Academy Team?
Could it be a real draw, with no shady dealings?
"It doesn't matter, who we fight is who we fight?"
Lin Xiao looked at the members of the Burning Maple Battle Team and reminded them:
"Everyone needs to move this time."
"After all, they gave us three soul bones, so we should show them some respect."
The Burning Maple Battle Team responded in unison:
"Yes!"
The Spirit Hall Academy Team had already entered the arena, all with their arms crossed, looking cold and arrogant, appearing quite cocky. It remained to be seen if their strength matched their attitude.
However, seeing them wearing uniforms similar to the Wind God Blazing Fire Team, completely covered, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling inexplicably felt like laughing.
After the Burning Maple Battle Team entered.
"Please release your martial souls."
Following the referee's announcement, both teams released their soul rings.
The Burning Maple Battle Team had two Soul Kings and the rest were Soul Ancestors; the Spirit Hall Academy Team had three Soul Kings and the rest were Soul Ancestors.
But the most striking was Lin Xiao's soul ring combination of yellow, purple, purple, black, and black.
The strength difference didn't seem significant.
Precisely because of this,
In the audience, everyone's emotions were stirred.
"Before, I was always watching the Burning Maple Battle Team win by crushing their opponents, which made me feel so stifled! This time, finally, a strong team that can compete with them has appeared!"
"Seriously, buddy? You're identifying with the losing team? I'm always identifying with the Burning Maple Battle Team, and it feels amazing!"
"Yeah, brother, your preference is very much like someone who identifies with the role of the impotent husband when reading erotic novels!"
"How did you know?!"
That person was greatly startled.
...
"Match begins!"
Following the Cardinal's announcement, the Spirit Hall Soul Master Team immediately took action.
Hu Liena's figure shifted, and a large, fluffy tail grew from her back. The corners of her lips curved slightly, and every smile and frown carried an indescribable charm that made people unable to stop staring at her.
Her eyes flickered, looking at Lin Xiao.
Charm, activated!
Lin Xiao didn't dodge or evade, made no preparations, and calmly looked at Hu Liena.
Hu Liena was about to sneer, but suddenly saw a great sun rising in Lin Xiao's eyes. The golden flames were overwhelmingly powerful, seemingly capable of burning everything.
She screamed, covering her eyes, and fell to the ground in panic.
"Nana!"
Xie Yue and Yan exclaimed simultaneously.
The great sun in Lin Xiao's eyes dissipated, and he signaled for the others behind him to act.
