Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 261 Burning Maple vs. Spirit Hall Academy Team

"Martial Soul Hall..."

The frosty moonlight shone on the woods.

The burly Tang Hao stared at the distant Papal Palace, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

After the Soul Master Competition, Xiao San's academy journey should come to an end.

His growth rate must be accelerated.

Three things must be done after the Soul Master Competition:
First, teach the mistress all the Haotian Techniques;

Second, it helps the mistress awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline;
Third, go to the City of Slaughter to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain.

Thinking of this, a shadow crossed Tang Hao's eyes.

Even now, he still doesn't know how Ah Yin, whom he hid in the cave, and the 100,000-year-old soul bone were lost. Most importantly, the 100,000-year-old soul bone was something he left for Tang San!
He wished he could tear the thief to pieces!
Fortunately, he hadn't coerced the Blue Silver King into helping Ah Yin recover. Now he could use it to help Xiao San awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, and incidentally, he could also get Xiao San a high-quality soul ring.

"Before I leave with my mistress, I will personally show myself and make the Spirit Hall remember the fear of being dominated by the power of the Clear Sky Hammer!"

"It's just a pity..."

Tang Hao is currently facing one very difficult situation.

How exactly did Xiao Wu manage to conceal the aura of a soul beast on her body?

If only we could get them to voluntarily reveal that they're being hunted down...

Xiao San has already developed feelings for Xiao Wu, so he might not be able to bring himself to kill her to seize her soul ring and soul bone. Besides, with his current soul power, he can't absorb a 100,000-year soul ring unless he sacrifices himself like Ah Yin.

Tang Hao frowned, finding the situation quite troublesome.

……

Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong summoned Hu Liena alone.

She wore a loose, silver-white papal robe, yet it couldn't hide her curvaceous figure. Her long, wine-red hair was styled in an updo, and her willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"Nana, are you confident you can defeat the Burning Maple team?"

Hu Liena took a deep breath.

"Teacher, no."

"The spirit fusion skill of the Azure Phosphorous Divine Light can be countered by special clothing, and the spirit fusion skills of the two Soul Masters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, are probably no match for the spirit fusion skills of the two Soul Kings, my brother and me."

"Based on the strength shown by the Burning Maple team alone, we are confident that we can defeat them, but their leader, Lin Xiao, has not made a move yet."

"We are not confident of victory."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly, not blaming him, and said quietly:
"Then the next match will be Shrek Team vs. Burning Maple Team. Let's see if we can force them to show more of their strength. This way, you can prepare in advance."

Despite Bibi Dong's kind offer, Hu Liena shook her head and refused.

"We've inquired around, and the Shrek Academy team only has one Soul King, Yu Tianheng. It's said that he was promoted through various means to help him grow stronger, so it's all fake."

"The Shrek team's performance was probably not as good as the two teams that lost the first two games."

"There's no need for that. Let's go straight to the Burning Maple team."

The pressure that the Burning Maple team put on the participating teams was immense.

Let alone going all out!
Until now, we haven't seen the entire opposing team make a move!
If this drags on any longer, not only will it fail to weaken the opponent, but it will also allow them to continue their winning streak and gain unstoppable momentum, making them even more difficult to deal with.

Bibi Dong clearly understood this principle as well.

She thought for a moment and agreed.

"Alright, next match, you'll be facing the Burning Maple team!"

Bibi Dong suddenly sighed softly, "Speaking of which, after the Soul Master Competition, regardless of the outcome, Nana, you're going to the City of Slaughter. Are you sure you've made up your mind?"

"That place... is hell."

Hu Liena's foxy eyes, having lost most of their allure, said firmly:
"Many people in the temple questioned my position as a saint, believing that my teacher was biased towards me. I know that you withstood a lot of pressure, teacher."

"I think I should share some of the burden with the teachers."

"Furthermore, I also want to walk the path my teacher once walked..."

Bibi Dong felt a surge of affection, got up from her seat, patted Hu Liena's head, and said softly, "Nana, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Although she had Qian Renxue as her biological daughter, she regarded her as an enemy, and their mother-daughter relationship existed in name only; the guilt in her heart led her to transfer her love to Hu Liena.

For Qian Renxue, wasn't this a kind of Minotaur?

……

"Next match: Burning Maple Team vs. Spirit Hall Academy Team!"

Lin Xiao was slightly surprised upon hearing this news.

He originally thought he would be playing against the Shrek Academy team, but he didn't expect it to be the Spirit Hall Academy team.
Could it really be a lottery, with no behind-the-scenes manipulation?

"It doesn't matter who I hit, it's all the same."

Lin Xiao looked at the members of the Burning Maple team and reminded them:

"This time, everyone needs to get moving."

"After all, they gave us three soul bones, so we should at least give them some face."

The Burning Maple team shouted in unison:

"Yes!"

The Spirit Hall Academy team has entered the arena, all with their arms crossed, cold expressions, and looking arrogant. It's just unknown whether their strength is also impressive.

Seeing that the other party was wearing a uniform similar to that of the Kamikaze Blazing Fire team, and was completely covered up, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling couldn't help but want to laugh.

After the Burning Maple team entered the arena.

"Please release your martial spirits."

As the referee announced the order, both teams released their spirit rings.

The Burning Maple team has two Soul Kings and the rest are Soul Masters; while the Spirit Hall Academy team has three Soul Kings and the rest are Soul Masters.

But the most eye-catching thing is Lin Xiao's combination of yellow, purple, and black soul rings.

The difference in strength doesn't seem significant.

Because of this,

In the audience, everyone's emotions were stirred up.

"I've been watching the Burning Maple team crush their opponents and win all the previous matches, which was really frustrating! This time, finally, a strong team that can rival them has come up!"

"Seriously, buddy? You're projecting yourself onto the losing team? I always project myself onto the Ranfeng team, it's so much fun!"

"Yeah, bro, your fetish is like someone who imagines themselves as an impotent husband when reading erotic novels!"

"how do you know?!"

The man was horrified.

……

"Game start!"

As soon as the cardinal read the announcement, the Spirit Hall's Soul Master team immediately took action.

Hu Liena turned around, revealing a large, fluffy tail growing from her back. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and every smile and frown exuded an indescribable charm, making people unable to help but stare at her.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Lin Xiao.

Charm, activate!
Lin Xiao neither dodged nor avoided the situation, and calmly looked at Hu Liena without taking any precautions.

Hu Liena was about to sneer when she suddenly saw a great sun rising in Lin Xiao's eyes, its golden flames domineering and seemingly capable of burning away the entire world.

She screamed, covered her eyes, and collapsed to the ground in a panic.

"Nana!"

Xie Yue and Yan both exclaimed in surprise.

The sun in Lin Xiaotong's eyes dissipated, and he gestured to the people behind him to take action.
