Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 249 The Grand Finals, Ranfeng vs. Xingluo

Lin Xiao's gaze swept aimlessly across the crowd. In an inconspicuous corner, a disheveled man was looking toward Shrek Academy.

Lin Xiao glanced at it but didn't stare at it.

They departed together with Dugu Bo.

……

Tang Hao was surrounded and attacked by Bibi Dong and her forces that day. He seemed invincible, suppressing several titled Douluo and making them unable to raise their heads. But in reality, he was at the end of his rope and was just bluffing.

Overworking his body left him with almost no strength left to fight.

Fortunately, his earth-shattering aura intimidated Bibi Dong, causing her to back down; otherwise, Tang Hao would have faced a dead end.

Bibi Dong was too afraid of dying.

She pursued Tang Hao solely for personal gain, not out of hatred; therefore, despite thorough preparation, she ultimately failed.

She didn't want to get hurt herself, nor did she want the titled Douluo under her command to perish, so she was hesitant and timid.

Tang Hao, being barefoot, was not afraid of those wearing shoes; on the contrary, he had no scruples.

However, after throwing Ma Hongjun into the Killing City, his injuries relapsed, causing him to remain hidden and recuperate in the shadows.

Now that his injuries have stabilized, the Soul Master Competition is about to begin.

Tang Hao rushed back again.

His gaze swept past the crowd and landed on Xiao Wu in the Shrek team, a puzzled look on his face.

"Strange, how come I can't tell she's a 100,000-year-old soul beast anymore?"

Could it be a special concealment method used by a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
……

After fierce battles, the preliminary rounds of the Soul Master Tournament have come to an end.

The Shrek team ultimately qualified for the finals.

Huo Wu, who lost to the Shrek team, looked unwilling. She recalled how she had once run up to the Ranfeng team and made some boastful remarks, but in the end, she couldn't even make it to the finals. She felt ashamed.

In the end, she still found Feng Xiaotian.

The two teams from Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy merged to form the Shenfeng Chihuo Team. After reaching certain agreements with the Spirit Hall Academy Team, they received approval from the Spirit Hall to enter the finals.

Three days later will be the final of the Soul Master Competition.

Location: Wuhun City!

……

The Burning Maple team traveled by carriage to Wuhun City to participate in the finals.

At this point, Yansong had already obtained his fourth spirit ring.

He was aware of the gap between his talent and that of the other members of the Burning Maple team. Although he didn't say anything, he still returned to his family and asked for a thousand-year-old soul bone to enhance his defensive skills and break through to the Soul Master level.

He also made a sacrifice for his fourth soul skill.

All of his soul skills are protective soul skills.

Yansong's fourth soul skill is called "Thousand Rocks Formation".

In addition, the third soul skill, "Turtle Shell Guardian," ensures the safety of the team to the greatest extent possible, even if there are two support soul masters in the team.

After getting off the carriage, Lin Xiao looked at Wuhun City. Compared to Tiandou City, Wuhun City was slightly less prosperous, but it was subtly superior in terms of order and imposing presence.

The competition will be conducted by drawing lots.

In the first round, the Burning Maple team was drawn against the Star Luo Academy team.

In the square in front of the Papal Palace, the two teams were making their pre-match preparations and could see each other.

The Star Luo Royal Academy team looked at the Burning Maple team with surprise in their eyes, because the Burning Maple team had a majority of female members, with only two male members, Lin Xiao and Yan Song.

One of the team members nudged Davis's arm. "Your Highness, all those girls are surrounding that pretty boy. They're living the life of a prince more than you are."

Davis glared at him and sneered:
"A team dominated by female Soul Masters—you can imagine how weak their fighting power is. The Heaven Dou Empire is really getting worse and worse. What, are they letting women fight on the battlefield too?"

However, these girls were indeed quite attractive. Davis suppressed the urge to lick his lips, his gaze sweeping over the girls from the Burning Maple team, lingering particularly on Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan is 22 years old (by Chinese reckoning), and her figure is at its best. Her cold and beautiful face, combined with her cool and mature temperament, is at the peak of her charm.

Zhu Zhuyun noticed Davis's subtle actions, but as the princess consort, she didn't say much, nor did she scold him, because she couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao as well.

As the Grand Princess, falling in love with Davis was out of necessity, but without a doubt, Lin Xiao's appearance best matched her aesthetic, full of nobility and stunning beauty.

On the other side of the Burning Maple team, several girls had frosty expressions.

"I hate that blond guy, his eyes are disgusting."

Dugu Yan said coldly.

Lin Xiao didn't even stare at him like that, and he took a liking to him first?
Shui Bing'er blinked. "Sister Yan Yan, how about we focus on taking care of that blond guy when the battle starts later?"

She has some potential rivalry with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, but their relationship is still quite good in private. After all, Shui Bing'er still owes Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling a favor.

She was also very grateful to Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian for their help to Lin Xiao.

Dugu Yan shook her head.

"There's no need for him to change our battle plan."

"Just hit him while you're at it, and make sure you get the main damage."

Dugu Yan is the vice-captain of the Ranfeng team, but she spends most of her time acting as the captain. Therefore, she is extremely rational and will not let her personal emotions affect the team.

Lin Xiao glanced at Davis but said nothing.

……

Soon, both teams were ready.

An announcement came from inside that the match had begun.

The Burning Maple Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team entered the Spirit Hall Arena.

In the stands.

Huo Wu stared intently at Lin Xiao, this boy who didn't take her seriously. He hadn't revealed any of his strength yet, and was full of mystery, but also seemed very distant.

It seemed that apart from the few girls around him, no one could get close to him.

The best way for her to gain Lin Xiao's attention was to demonstrate her strength in front of him, and the best outcome would be to defeat Lin Xiao and then, as the person in a superior position, take the initiative to humble herself and get to know him.

This match between the Burning Maple Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team was undoubtedly a rare opportunity to assess the strength of the Burning Maple Team.

He just stared at Lin Xiao, and kept staring...

Huo Wu started to lose focus.

Lin Xiao is truly handsome from every angle, every aspect is perfect.

It seemed that even the strands of her hair were stirring the girl's heart.

Feng Xiaotian noticed Huo Wu's unusual behavior and followed her gaze. He quickly revealed a face as if he had eaten shit, which was extremely ugly.

He clenched his fists silently.

The anger in my heart, because it was suppressed, made me even more eager for the moment to explode.

Shrek Academy team in the distance.

Zhu Zhuqing saw Lin Xiao again. He was still as radiant and handsome as ever. Unfortunately, she seemed to be just a passerby in his life. Being able to stand at a distance and look at him was already a great fortune.

This time, Dai Mubai no longer secretly observed Zhu Zhuqing, fantasized about being cheated on by Lin Xiao, or went mad with anger because of Zhu Zhuqing's emotional infidelity.

His gaze was fixed on Davis.

It landed on Lin Xiao again.

My heart is inevitably filled with darkness:

He'll clap his hands and fight, no matter which side gets killed.
