Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 350: A makeshift startup team! In full swing...

"He's nothing but a vile beast! How dare he call himself a god!"

Qian Daoliu's voice was as loud as a bell, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword. The sharpness in his eyes made even Golden Crocodile Douluo dare not look directly at him and subconsciously turn his head away.

But Qian Daoliu said calmly:
"There are gods watching over us from three feet above! But this is not some beast covered in scales and armor!"

"It's just a slightly stronger ferocious beast."

"Pass down the order: tell the Soul Masters in the hall not to panic."

After speaking, Qian Daoliu looked at the statue of the angel god.

"The true God is here, protecting the world."

If Lin Xiao were here and saw Qian Daoliu's current state, he would surely be moved.

Because the sharp edge and resolute determination that Qian Daoliu displayed when he sneered just now seemed to be the true style of one of the strongest people in the world.

And the piety and faith in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

This was something Lin Xiao hadn't seen in a long time.

……

Both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire received news about the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but neither the Star Luo Emperor nor the Snow Night Emperor could do anything about it.

This news spread among the public, causing great panic.

Emperor Dai Zhen of Xingluo dispatched a large force to the area bordering the Xingluo Empire in the Xingdou Great Forest, which slightly calmed the people's hearts, but Tiandou dared not withdraw any troops.

The Heavenly Dou Empire had already suffered repeated setbacks in the border skirmishes between the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Dou Empire. If it were to follow the Star Luo Empire's lead and stage a troop mobilization stunt...

What if the Star Luo Empire is playing tricks and actually sends troops to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire?
Warfare is based on deception. That's hard to say.

The Heavenly Dou Empire lacked the courage and resources to gamble.

However, given the limited resources of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall has already declared that it will protect the safety of the continent no matter what.

The popular sentiment was overwhelming, which made Emperor Xingluo and Emperor Xueye deeply wary, yet powerless to do anything about it.

……

at this time.

After many days of tranquility, the Yin-Yang duality of ice and fire is about to give way to a lively atmosphere.

Under the leadership of Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian, five promising young talents—Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong—all gathered here to begin their special training.

Ning Rongrong was in an exceptionally pleasant mood.

Wearing a white dress and black boots, she gazed at the distant scene where the ice and fire pools were separated, seemingly undisturbed, and exclaimed in amazement:
"so beautiful!"

Then I saw neatly cultivated medicinal fields, with countless exotic flowers and rare herbs. At first glance, I thought I had come to the back garden of a god.

Ning Rongrong expressed her feelings.

"I never imagined that people would still be farming in this realm of ice and fire?"

“I see that these flowers and plants are growing very well, and the land is cultivated very neatly. Could it be that you, Aunt Ye, had an old farmer come here before?”

Ye Qingxian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and teased:
"He is indeed an old farmer."

Dugu Yan: "..."

Ye Lingling: “…”

Years later, the experience of carrying a hoe and digging the ground back then, even with the filter of memory, is still as unbearable to recall.

Lin Xiao laughed and gestured with his lips.

"Rongrong, the two old farmers you mentioned are right here! The reclamation of this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of Sister Lingling and Sister Yanyan!"

"Huh?" Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Yan Yan, Sister Ling Ling..."

Dugu Yan snorted coldly:

"We should have made Lin Xiao work in the fields back then!"

Ye Lingling immediately joined the group.

"Mom, it's all your fault! You always wouldn't let Lin Xiao hoe the field!" "Who's the real biological son anyway?"

Ye Qingxian glanced at Ye Lingling and said casually:

"They're all my biological children."

"One is closer, the other is more distant."

Ye Lingling: ?

I'm so angry and cold! Why do women oppress other women?!

Ye Qingxian ignored Ye Lingling and turned to the important matter at hand.

“The five of you are all the people closest to Lin Xiao, or the people he trusts the most. Except for Bing'er and Yue'er, the others are all older than Lin Xiao, but the gap between you and Lin Xiao is like a chasm.”

"I believe this is not what you want to see."

"As Lin Xiao's elder and teacher, I hope that you can help Lin Xiao, and I also hope that you can seize the opportunity to follow closely behind Lin Xiao and see a higher view."

Ye Qingxian paused, then slowly said:
"I already asked for your opinions, I'll just say a few words here, and I won't say anything more in the future."

"Next, I will test your physical strength individually and tailor the most suitable medicinal bath and diet, as well as training plan for each of you."

"I will also teach you the Eight Pieces of Brocade and the Heart-Clearing Formula."

"While training programs vary from person to person, the general idea is the same: to push the body beyond its limits through extreme fatigue and hardship, thereby breaking through the upper limit of one's talent!"

This utilizes the incredible recovery bug of the Nine Heart Begonia.

It enables Soul Masters to constantly break through and rise again, never exceeding their limits in improving themselves.

If Lin Xiao hadn't used the evil fire to temper his body, he would probably have followed this path as well. Of course, he unconsciously cultivated in the same way.

"Only through persistent effort and refinement can you achieve your goal."

Lin Xiao smiled and said calmly:

“You are destined to become gods, remember that.”

These words shocked the five girls. They never expected Lin Xiao to have such high expectations of them! While their hearts warmed, they also felt a sense of pressure.

Lin Xiao's words were not a joke, nor were they meant to flatter.

Of the five girls, four have the potential to become gods, and becoming a god would be of great help to him. Martial souls like Ning Rongrong's, which are amplified proportionally, are always highly sought after.

Only Shuiyue'er has slightly less talent, but it's not impossible.

cough cough.

Here I have to say something that a certain bird doesn't like to hear.

Maple Leaf's defeat in the Dragon-Phoenix battle proves that individual heroism rarely leads to success and is destined to result in heavy losses! What good is fighting ability when you're out in the game? It's all about power and connections!
Lin Xiao himself is very good at fighting, but with teammates, his strength can be increased by half, so why not?

Lin Xiao had originally planned not to join any faction and to simply grow stronger quietly, regardless of the changing circumstances in the outside world.

But I later realized how foolish that was.

The lesser hermit lives in the wilderness, the greater hermit lives in the city. It doesn't mean that you can be a carefree hermit by not joining any faction, nor does it mean that you are charitable by releasing a few bottles of mineral water.

To maintain one's own ideas and make the world conform to one's will, one needs great power, and influence is also a kind of power!
Favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships all contribute to a powerful momentum.

One of the signs of maturity is knowing how to leverage existing opportunities.

Lin Xiao's gaze fell on the five girls.

He clearly harbored the idea of ​​creating a force that belonged solely to him.

The girls in front of me are just one of the makeshift startup teams!
After that, Lin Xiao planned to try recruiting Oscar.

……

Outside, the Starry Sky Beasts and human forces are locked in a tense standoff.

Eyes of ice and fire.

The special training for the boys and girls is in full swing...
