Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 248 The Tournament Bet, Tang Hao Finally Returns

"What exactly is Lin Xiao plotting?"

On the way back to the team with Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu was lost in thought.

She could sense that Lin Xiao was truly not interested in her 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone! So what else did she have that was worth the other party's covetousness?

Xiao Wu previously believed that he was after her body.

But Lin Xiao never laid a hand on her, not even a physical touch. Could this be a sign that he was after her?
She tried her best to think with her almond-shaped brain.

Finally came to a conclusion:
Lin Xiao could only be after me!
But what he wanted wasn't his body, but his heart!
Otherwise, why would you treat yourself so well?
Which normal Soul Master could resist the temptation of a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast?

Xiao Wu sighed.

Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu: "In the end, it was beauty that caused all the trouble."

Zhu Zhuqing:? ? ?

……

Lin Xiao waited for Xiao Wu to go in first, and after a while, he slowly entered the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Find the seats where the Burning Maple team is located.

As soon as he sat down, he saw Ye Qingxian looking at him with a half-smile.

"Lin Xiao, you're quite charming."

Lin Xiao looked completely bewildered.

Beside her, Dugu Yan also teased:

"That's right, he won the heart of a young girl in the blink of an eye!"

Ye Lingling echoed:

"That's right, manipulating young girls' hearts at will."

Lin Xiao was completely exasperated. "What on earth is going on?"

Shui Bing'er whispered, "Brother Lin Xiao, a girl with red wavy hair came up just now. She's very pretty. She came looking for you, but when she saw you weren't there, she left a message for us."

"She said she remembered you and hoped that when we meet in the finals, you will have the strength to match your aloofness."

Lin Xiao slapped his forehead.

"Alright, I know who it is."

"No, she's got something wrong with her!"

"Didn't you guys help me fight back?"

Ye Qingxian said, "Why would they help you argue back? They're too busy watching the show! Besides, wouldn't it be more interesting to see that girl's reaction during the finals?"

Lin Xiao: "..."

"Let's see if she can get into the finals first."

He twitched the corner of his mouth, not taking the matter to heart.

I sat down and watched the game.

Immediately, a staff member stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Mr. Lin Xiao, His Majesty is waiting for you and the other members of the Burning Maple Team in the VIP area backstage."

Lin Xiao stood up and, together with her teammates, followed by staff, went to the VIP area backstage.

Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi, Bishop Baijin, and Dugu Bo were all present, and their gazes all fell on Lin Xiao.

The Platinum Bishop, in particular, kept scrutinizing Lin Xiao, seemingly trying to see through him.

The Snow Night Emperor said gently:
"Lin Xiao, do you know why I summoned you here?"

Lin Xiao shook his head.

Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, smiled and said:
"On a whim, a few of us made a bet on whether Lin Xiao could lead the Burning Maple team to victory in the Soul Master Competition." As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi winked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao immediately understood. He glanced at Dugu Bo, who was barely able to suppress his laughter, and realized that this was a scheme orchestrated by Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo.

Their aim was to fleece wealthy people.

Looks like they succeeded in ripping him off?
The Great Emperor of Snowy Night said:
"As long as you can lead your team to victory in the Soul Master Competition and win honor for my Heaven Dou Empire, I will give you a ten-thousand-year soul bone as a reward."

Dugu Bodao:

"I've also acquired quite a few good things during this period. You can distribute them to the members of the team later."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said:
“I have a gentleman’s agreement with the Platinum Bishop: if I lose, I will pay him a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. Conversely, if he loses, he will do the same.”

"As for what we're betting on, we're betting on whether the Burning Maple team can win the Soul Master Tournament!"

"Hey, when the time comes, I'll include my own two soul bones, and that will be my reward to you guys."

Lin Xiao understood.

No wonder the Platinum Church looked him up and down; they were judging whether Lin Xiao was qualified to win the championship, to solidify their own resolve.

However, the Platinum Bishop must have known the strength of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, otherwise why would he have made such a bet with Ning Fengzhi just because of a few words of provocation?
The so-called scheming was nothing more than both sides going with the flow.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, his voice revealing confidence.

"Then please prepare the soul bone in advance, Lord Salas. I don't want to have to wait a while to get it."

Platinum Bishop Salas sneered.

“Soul bones are available at any time.”

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy to take!"

The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall is far stronger than any previous team. This arrogant young man has no idea what kind of opponent he is about to face.

……

When Lin Xiao and Dugu Bo came out together, this scene was witnessed by Shrek Academy.

They were all filled with trepidation, and all eyes were focused on Lin Xiao.

Yu Xiaogang resented Lin Xiao for publishing "Refuting the Ten Core Theories of Martial Soul," which tore away his last fig leaf.
Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with a mixture of hatred and fear, and he glared at Zhu Zhuqing, whose gaze was fixed on Lin Xiao.
Xiao Wu stood next to Tang San, and a strange feeling rose in her heart;

Yu Tianheng saw Dugu Bo lower his head in fear, and his gaze fell on his lower body, causing him to feel a sharp pain. He was filled with resentment and venom.

Tang San's Eight Spider Lances began to throb faintly, and he subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiao's fair palm.

Lin Xiao also noticed the Shrek team, but he didn't greet them or go up to provoke them. He just glanced at them and then silently looked away.

This dismissive attitude only fueled Shrek Academy's frustration.

Dugu Bo glanced back indifferently.

Yu Tianheng's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head away in panic, not daring to meet Dugu Bo's gaze.

Flanders smiled wryly:

"In this Soul Master Tournament, the Burning Maple Team is a guaranteed team, which means that if we can make it to the finals, we will inevitably have to face them."

"Can these little monsters really be a match for the Burning Maple team?"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist and whispered:
"At this point, regardless of whether they are our opponents or not, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it."

"At that time, everything will be at the mercy of the mistress."

Yu Xiaogang staked everything on Tang San, hoping to wash away his reputation as a good-for-nothing and turn the tide in their desperate situation.

Tang San must stand out in the Soul Master Competition, even if it means sacrificing his team!

At that moment, Lin Xiao, who was walking away with Dugu Bo, heard the voice of Maple Leaf in his mind and suddenly stopped.

After many days.

Tang Hao has finally shown up!
But does the other party know that the Haotian Sect is on its last legs and barely clinging to life?
I really want to know!
Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly.
