Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 78: Shrek Seven Devils (6-in-, K chapter)

Hearing this, Mo Yuan turned around and saw a red-haired woman with a beautiful face and a hot body walking towards him.

Evil Fire Phoenix, Ma Xiaotao.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan nodded slightly and said hello.
"Long time no see, Xiaotao-senpai."

Ma Xiaotao walked up to Mo Yuan, looked him up and down carefully, and then walked shoulder to shoulder with him towards the inner courtyard. At the same time, she said,
"I heard from Senior Sister Ruoruo that you went out to hunt soul beasts to obtain your fifth soul ring during this vacation. How was it? Did it go smoothly?"

"It's okay. Apart from a small accident on the way, there have been basically no setbacks."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded silently, and then suddenly didn't know what to say. Although in Shrek Academy, she could be said to be the first inner court disciple to meet Mo Yuan.

But because of the misunderstanding on the first night of school, Mo Yuan has been reluctant to have any interaction with her, even though she would go to see Mo Yuan whenever she had time.

In the end, he was either with Han Ruoruo or practicing alone in the dormitory. After a year, the time they spent together was probably not as long as the time he and Han Ruoruo spent together in a day.

This made Ma Xiaotao a little annoyed, but she was in the wrong after all. Apart from sulking alone, she could only go to some younger students in the inner courtyard to compete and vent her emotions.

The air suddenly became heavy. Ma Xiaotao didn't speak, and Mo Yuan naturally didn't rush to find a topic. In this atmosphere,

When Ma Xiaotao secretly looked at Mo Yuan, she suddenly sensed a different aura from Mo Yuan.

It was a kind of coldness similar to that of her mortal enemy Ling Luochen, but far stronger than Ling Luochen. As the saying goes, one red and one blue, they are either a couple or enemies.

Because of the evil fire in her body, Ma Xiaotao is very sensitive to cold. Especially when she encounters a strong cold person, she will have an inexplicable urge to conquer and suppress him from the bottom of her heart.

This is also the reason why she and Ling Luochen don't get along. However, since they are both women, Ma Xiaotao can only think of suppressing Ling Luochen.

But Mo Yuan was different. Under this impulse, coupled with Ma Xiaotao's initial affection for Mo Yuan, her original aversion turned into a desire to conquer him...

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao herself is a strong person, and in order to hide his own secret, Mo Yuan pretends to be gentle and elegant except for being arrogant occasionally.

Under this strong contrast between the two, Ma Xiaotao's feelings for Mo Yuan became increasingly improper.

Mo Yuan naturally noticed Ma Xiaotao's secret glances that fell on him from time to time. He didn't want to care about it at first, and they separated immediately after arriving at the inner courtyard.

But then Mo Yuan discovered that Ma Xiaotao's eyes became more and more strange when she looked at him, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he noticed this.

Mo Yuan had seen that kind of look before. Once, he happened to pass by a brothel in a city, and the giggling eyes from those upstairs were looking at him with that kind of look.

Full of possessiveness and greed, extremely indecent.

Oh my god, is this Ma Xiaotao's evil fire going to erupt again? It shouldn't be like that. With the cold energy I injected, it should still be a year before the next eruption, right?

Thinking of this, although he guessed that Ma Xiaotao's look was not due to the evil fire, for the sake of "personal safety", Mo Yuan decided to leave first.

"Senior Xiaotao, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in the outer courtyard. How about you go back to the inner courtyard first?"

Ma Xiaotao was stunned when she heard this, and immediately came back to her senses from her previous indecent fantasy. Although she still wanted to stay with Mo Yuan for a while, in order not to ruin Mo Yuan's senses, she had to nod in agreement.

But before Ma Xiaotao had taken a few steps, Mo Yuan saw her suddenly stop and turn around to look at him, with a look of realization on her face.

"I almost forgot, Mo Yuan, Elder Xuan notified us inner court disciples yesterday to gather in the fighting spirit area early tomorrow morning. Don't forget."

After saying that, Ma Xiaotao asked again with concern,
"By the way, Mo Yuan, do you know who Master Xuan is?"

Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Who didn't know the great names of Xuan Lao and Xuan Zi? He was the dignified Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect and the genius disciple of Shrek Academy, the Destroyer. If he was leading the team, it would definitely be bad luck.

Although the fact is that no one has told him Xuanzi's information, in order to end the topic, Mo Yuan still replied,
"I know. My senior sister told me something about it before."

"Ah... okay then."

Ma Xiaotao was a little disappointed when she heard this. Such a good topic was gone in an instant, and when she heard Mo Yuan addressing Han Ruoruo, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

She somewhat regretted asking Han Ruoruo to deliver the school uniform to Mo Yuan for her. If she had known this would happen, she should have gone by herself.

The topic was ended again, and Ma Xiaotao had no reason to stay and had to leave the outer courtyard.

After Ma Xiaotao disappeared from his sight, Mo Yuan changed his route and returned to the inner courtyard.

During this one-month vacation, Mo Yuan had not had a single free day. He first transformed the End Dragon, then rushed to the Far North to get the Ice Emperor, and finally he worked on the alchemical tool for a short period of half a month.

Even though Mo Yuan's body had already reached a non-human level, he was still extremely exhausted. As soon as he returned to the inner courtyard, he fell asleep on the bed.

……

On the second day, a ray of morning light shone through the window beside the bed onto a sleeping body. Feeling the warmth on his body, Mo Yuan yawned and slowly woke up.

Thinking about what Ma Xiaotao said yesterday, Mo Yuan guessed that the new Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition was about to begin, and the academy was also preparing to select the Shrek Seven Devils this time.

Mo Yuan didn't have any extra thoughts about this. He just chose. With his current strength, even without using a vest, there were still a few inner court disciples who could beat him.

What's more, now that the alchemical knife has been forged, his real strengths in close combat and physical fitness can be fully utilized.

After washing up, Mo Yuan changed into his school uniform and headed directly to the fighting arena on the east side of Poseidon Island.

As soon as he entered the fighting arena, Mo Yuan saw that there were already more than a dozen people standing in the center of the arena. On a high platform not far away, Xuan Zi was gnawing on a chicken leg as usual.

These dozen people were divided into two groups. The smaller group had only seven people, including Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who he was more familiar with. These seven people should be the reserved Shrek Seven Devils.

As for the other side, Mo Yuan didn't know anyone. After all, since entering the inner courtyard, he hardly went out to communicate.

But unlike Mo Yuan who didn't recognize them, after hearing the noise, everyone in the field, including the Shrek Seven Devils, turned their heads and looked at him.

After seeing Mo Yuan's face clearly, most of the students had obvious surprise and curiosity in their eyes, and bursts of conversation suddenly rang out in the field.

"Wow! He's Mo Yuan? He's so handsome?! Sister, do you think he has a girlfriend?"

"I don't know about that, but don't forget, when school started a year ago, the rumor was that he beat up Senior Xiaotao on Poseidon Lake. He was really cruel. If you want to pursue him, think about whether you can withstand a beating first."

"Holy crap, is this even happening?! I barely went back to the academy last year and never heard of this news. How old is this Mo Yuan, and what's his realm?"

"How would I know? This is the first time I've seen Mo Yuan alive, but his strength shouldn't be much lower than Senior Xiao Tao's, otherwise he wouldn't be suppressing Senior Xiao Tao—"

"Shh! Senior Xiaotao is looking over here. If you don't want to die, shut up!"

Like the disciples who had just entered the inner courtyard, the Shrek Seven Devils were also very curious about Mo Yuan and discussed with each other.

Standing next to Ma Xiaotao was a tall and strong male student with a masculine face and strong features, and a pair of evil eyes.

It was Dai Yaoheng, the elder brother of the outer courtyard disciple Dai Huabin. Unlike Dai Huabin's arrogant temperament, Dai Yaoheng looked more like a true successor in both temperament and attitude.

He looked at Ma Xiaotao who was threatening the disciple opposite with his eyes, smiled silently and asked,
"Xiao Tao, you should be the person here who is most familiar with Junior Brother Mo Yuan. Do you know what level of strength he is at now?"

Ma Xiaotao glared at the inner court disciple opposite her, then turned her gaze to Mo Yuan who was walking towards them. Her eyes suddenly softened, and she said,

"To be honest, I'm not too sure, but he's at least a Soul King."

"A twelve-year-old Soul King..."

Dai Yueheng murmured in a low voice, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He had thought that Mo Yuan's strength at level 40 was already terrifying, but he didn't expect him to be so strong.

However, unlike his brother Dai Huabin's hostility, Dai Yueheng was obviously mature. He did not continue to inquire about anything.
Instead, he smiled kindly and nodded slightly to Mo Yuan, who had already arrived, as a greeting.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan also nodded slightly, and couldn't help but sigh that the gap between people is really bigger than that between people and pigs. Compared with Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin is simply a playboy with a not very good brain.

I don't know if Dai Huabin was deliberately spoiled by his brother since he was a child. If so, then Dai Yuheng is quite suitable for this sentence:

The fight among princes has always been like this!
When Mo Yuan arrived at the center of the arena, Xuan Zi finally stopped chewing the chicken leg on the high platform and wiped his greasy hands on his robe.

After gulping down a few more gulps of wine, he slowly stood up and in an instant he was in the center of the field.

Xuan Zi glanced at everyone with cloudy eyes, and after his gaze lingered on Mo Yuan for a moment, he spoke,
"Since everyone is here, I will cut to the chase. The next session of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition will be held soon. I think you all know what I mean by this."

After a pause, Xuan Zi pointed at the seven people opposite Mo Yuan and continued,

"I'm sure you've guessed it, but these seven are this year's Shrek Seven Devils! Among all the inner courtyard disciples under the age of twenty, they are Shrek Academy's strongest fighting force!"

"Everyone has heard of the Shrek Seven Devils. Whether it's the first generation, including Lord Poseidon, who all became gods, or every subsequent generation of the Shrek Seven Devils, they all share a common title: genius! The supreme geniuses who continue to carry on the glory of Shrek Academy for thousands of years!"

As soon as Xuan Zi said this, everyone present looked solemn. The name of the Shrek Seven Devils has been a glory that shines like the morning star for thousands of years.

They are not only synonymous with monsters, but also the pursuit of all Shrek Academy students and even most soul masters.

Except for the Shrek Seven Devils, everyone present had a blazing fire in their eyes and a fighting spirit in their hearts, as if they couldn't wait to have a real man showdown with the seven people opposite, to squeeze them out and win the title of Shrek Seven Devils.

In order to fit in, Mo Yuan pretended a little.

Glancing at everyone, Xuan Zi, who had taken in all the changes in the inner court disciples, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued,

"I'm telling you all this to let you know how important the Shrek Seven Devils are to the academy! Since they're so important, the academy naturally adheres to the principle of supremacy for the strongest when selecting the Shrek Seven Devils!" "Also, although the seven of you are already the tentative Shrek Seven Devils, remember, you're only tentative! If other disciples are stronger than you, your only fate will be to be kicked out!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples on Mo Yuan's side had a raging fire of war in their eyes, staring intently at the Shrek Seven Devils opposite them.

Even though they were afraid of the seven people because of their age and strength, under the temptation of the name Shrek Seven Devils, they would never back down and would give it a try with all their strength!
Upon seeing this, Ma Xiaotao and the other seven people also became serious. They naturally had confidence in themselves and would not be squeezed out, but the problem was that Mo Yuan was among this group of people!

After Xuan Zi took a sip of wine, his tone suddenly dropped again, and his eyes, which had been somewhat clear, became cloudy.

"The assessment method will still follow the old rules. Within one week, you can all challenge any of the Shrek Seven Devils at will. After one week, if anyone succeeds in the challenge, the Shrek Seven Devils will fight among themselves. The weakest one will be kicked out to make room for the newcomer."

"have you understood?!"

"I understand!"

Everyone present asked in unison.

"Very good. Now, let the Shrek Seven Devils introduce theirselves so that the other disciples can get to know you. After the introductions, the challenge will officially begin."

After saying that, Xuanzi returned to the platform again, took out a pile of chicken legs and started to eat them.

After Xuan Zi left, the seven Shrek Seven Devils looked at each other, and Dai Yuheng was the first to stand up and introduce himself.

"Dai Yueheng, a level 64 powerful combat spirit master, with the spirit White Tiger, welcomes all fellow students to challenge me. Even if you are defeated, it can be regarded as a training."

As soon as these words came out, the other disciples immediately let out a low cry.

Level sixty-four!

Such a huge gap cannot be overcome by their enthusiasm alone, so some people immediately began to change their targets and choose other people as challengers.

After Dai Yueheng comes Ma Xiaotao. As one of the two famous active volcanoes in the inner courtyard, almost everyone knows Ma Xiaotao's name.

"Ma Xiaotao, a level 69 offensive spirit master, with the spirit Evil Fire Phoenix."

That's right, ever since Ma Xiaotao had the evil fire in her body suppressed by Mo Yuan a year ago, she no longer had to worry about it, so her cultivation was able to improve rapidly, which allowed her to reach such a high level compared to the original book.

After Ma Xiaotao was still Mo Yuan’s old acquaintance, Ling Luochen.

The moment Ling Luochen stepped out of the line, Mo Yuan clearly felt a pair of eyes falling on him. He looked up and saw that it was Ling Luochen.

Looking at Mo Yuan who was also looking at him, Ling Luochen's pupils suddenly shrank and his body trembled slightly.

Ever since she was defeated by Mo Yuan a month ago, Ling Luochen began to look for information about Mo Yuan everywhere. During this period, she also learned the news that 'Ma Xiaotao lost to Mo Yuan'.

At that time, Ling Luochen was surprised that Mo Yuan could suppress the Soul Emperor with the strength of level 40, and at the same time, he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

She didn't know what that emotion meant, but from then on she always subconsciously asked about Mo Yuan's news, to see if he had returned to the academy.

It was not until just now that Ling Luochen finally saw Mo Yuan for the second time, but the moment she looked at Mo Yuan, she suddenly felt a palpitation.

Then she discovered that her ice elemental spirit was actually trembling! It was like a mouse meeting a cat, or a minister meeting an emperor. Besides fear, there was only awe!

Ling Luochen was stunned. She knew that Mo Yuan's original martial soul, Golden Eyes, was an elemental martial soul, and the ice element was close to the extreme ice range.

But even so, when she faced the Emperor of Word Spirit Ice a month ago, her martial soul was not afraid at all, it was just suppressed.

Why did it become like this after just one month of not seeing each other?
Mo Yuan was the first to notice Ling Luochen's strange appearance. Thinking of her martial soul and the Ice Emperor soul ring and soul bone he obtained in the far north, he immediately understood what was going on.

As a 400,000-year-old Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion, the Ice Emperor's ultimate ice attribute, to a certain extent, represents the strongest ice attribute on the continent.

Facing Ling Luochen's martial soul which also has ice attribute, the Ice Emperor is like the emperor of the ice element. The others can only tremble and submit when they see him.

Ling Luochen's daze quickly attracted everyone's attention. At first, everyone couldn't understand what she was doing.
But when everyone followed Ling Luochen's gaze, they suddenly discovered that she was staring at Mo Yuan in a daze.

At once, the same thought came to everyone's mind: "Ling Luochen is interested in Mo Yuan."

Most of the disciples were just surprised by this, surprised that the Ice Queen Ling Luochen actually fell in love with someone.

But some people are extremely dissatisfied with this, such as Ma Xiaotao.

Because of their conflicting nature, Ma Xiaotao had always disliked Ling Luochen. Now, in her eyes, Ling Luochen had been upgraded from a mortal enemy to a love rival.

Fortunately, Ling Luochen didn't stay in a daze for long. After Mo Yuan's gaze attacked her, she came back to her senses.

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Ling Luochen quickly realized what they were thinking, but she subconsciously did not refute anything.

Or rather, I don't want to refute.

"Ling Luochen, a level 55 control-type offensive combat spirit master, with an ice elemental spirit."

After the introduction, Ling Luochen immediately returned to the team. As soon as she returned, she felt an unfriendly gaze falling on her. Turning her head, she saw Ma Xiaotao looking at her with disdain.

Especially when his eyes fell on her chest, the look of disdain became even stronger.

Seeing this, Ling Luochen frowned slightly, glanced at Ma Xiaotao indifferently, and snorted coldly,

"baffling."

The other five Shrek Seven Devils also noticed the "friendly interaction" between the two, but none of them interrupted rashly and pretended not to see anything.

The war between women can easily lead to disaster if one is not careful.

The next person to come out was also a girl with shoulder-length hair. Her appearance was not as outstanding as Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen in front of her. She was just average.

"Xixi, a fifty-sixth-level agility attack-type soul king, with the spirit Lightning Leopard."

After listening to Xixi's self-introduction, everyone had only one feeling: it was ordinary, so ordinary that if the next person had not started the introduction, they would probably have forgotten that someone had just come out.

This is the essence of the agile attack system. In addition to being fast, minimizing one's presence is also the best way for agile attack system soul masters to improve their combat effectiveness.

However, if you have some special means, this is not so important.

For example, time zero.

With this thing, you can be a charming and coquettish old man. All you need to do is open the field, then slowly walk up to the enemy and gently slit their throat.

After Xixi came a boy with an upright figure and sharp aura, like a sword. Surprisingly, the boy's tone was very gentle.

"Chen Zifeng, a level 57 powerful attack series combat spirit master, martial spirit Soul Chasing Sword, welcomes the challenge from all junior students."

The sixth person to come out was still a boy, but although this boy, like Xixi, was not as good-looking as the first two boys, he was enough to leave a deep impression on people.

After all, this boy looks too much like a hairless monster, with a slender body, ordinary looks, and even a little creepy.

But Mo Yuan still has something to say about this.

My life is also my life!
"Yao Haoxuan, spirit of Sky-shaking Ape, spirit power level 55, dual cultivation of control and support. For those underclassmen who want to challenge me, let me give you a warning. For some special reasons, I am a partner with this sissy next to me. So if you want to challenge me, you have to fight between the two of us."

"But if you're really determined to challenge me, then I still have to give you one last piece of advice. Don't let winning the competition lead to him taking notice and ultimately ruining your life."

When Yao Haoxuan said this, he was obviously staring at Mo Yuan. His meaning was self-evident. He was really afraid that Mo Yuan would use him as a scapegoat.

He knew that Mo Yuan could beat Ma Xiaotao at level 60 when he was only level 40. If the two of them faced each other,
Then he probably could only use his face to attack Mo Yuan's fist, and then make Mo Yuan kneel down and beg him not to die.

"What are you talking about, you bastard? I'm not a sissy~"

Finally, the handsome boy rolled his eyes and spoke in a delicate voice. He pinched his fingers with one hand and gently hit Yao Haoxuan's chest with the other hand, then stepped out of the line and came to the center of the field.

"Gong Yang Mo, martial soul Rainbow Dragon, fifty-nineth level auxiliary soul king."

This delicate and feminine voice gave goosebumps to all the inner court disciples who did not know Gong Yang Mo. They finally understood why Yao Haoxuan had reminded them just now.

After all, if this person really takes a fancy to me, my life will be ruined.

Even Mo Yuan, who had experienced many storms on the Internet in his previous life, couldn't help but tremble.

He even felt that he was not in Douluo Continent, but in a city whose name began with "Cheng" and ended with "Du".

And then Mo Yuan suddenly discovered that Gong Yang Mo had been staring at him ever since he stepped out of the line.

That fiery yet shy, teasing yet concealed look was exactly the same as those of the female students in the outer courtyard, which made Mo Yuan shudder.

Oh no! I’ve been spotted by a man-girl!
