Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 136 Ma Xiaotao: The Evil Fire Phoenix carries the word "evil," but it's not an evil martial soul.

In Huo Yuhao's mind now, even if he were to become a fanatic, he shouldn't be fanatical about Shrek Academy.

Senior Brother Beibei, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng...

He was afraid he would become like them, forgetting his purpose of revenge...

Shrek Academy's opening match perfectly achieved Wang Yan's goal. Thanks to the close cooperation between Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao, their record of defeating Tianling Academy was still terrifying, and Shrek Academy's reputation was finally able to continue.

In this way, if the reserve team perseveres a little longer in the subsequent round-robin matches, they will be able to field three inner court disciples: Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen.

The knockout stage continued for two more days, but the reinforcements that Beibei and the others had been hoping for never arrived. Wang Yan was always very busy and could hardly be seen stopping.

It wasn't until the evening of the third day that Wang Yan finally gathered everyone in the conference room, including Ning Tian and others who were just watching the game.

"Xiao Tao, how are your injuries healing?"

In the conference room, Wang Yan was the first to speak and ask a question.

"I've been resting well these past few days and should be fully recovered within two weeks. If I were to play, I would need at least seven days of recovery time, but if I were to force myself to play, my injury might worsen."

For Soul Masters, external injuries are the easiest to treat. Even without a healing-type Soul Master, they can recover slowly with ordinary medicine and medical treatment.

However, some internal injuries are different. For example, Zhou Yi could ask a healing-type Soul Master to treat Huo Yuhao's fatigue from running and external injuries, but she could not treat the damage caused by his excessive physical injury.

If it were someone else, they would have been thoroughly scolded by Zhou Yi's methods long ago.

The mere mention of her injuries made Ma Xiaotao grit her teeth in hatred.

The abilities of the evil spirit masters were so bizarre that even these originally selected team members were encountering them for the first time.

Not all evil Soul Masters are called Evil Soul Masters. The missions that Ma Xiaotao and others had done before were at most killing some evil Soul Masters, or directly breaking into the mansion of an imperial official and killing him.

According to Shrek Academy's definition, a martial soul that is inherently evil is a "wicked soul master," and a martial soul master who cultivates using evil methods is also a "wicked soul master."

Of course, in Ma Xiaotao's mind, she did not consider her Evil Fire Phoenix and Chen Zifeng's Soul Chasing Sword to be inherently evil martial souls.

The only side effect of the Evil Phoenix is ​​that her evil fire is too intense to control. Besides, with Wang Dong'er around, no matter what, as long as she is touched, even if she is hit by Wang Dong'er, her evil fire can be effectively suppressed.

As for Chen Zifeng, he only experiences some unusual phenomena when releasing his martial spirit. Swords are weapons of destruction, so this is normal.

When Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin were killing soul beasts and the Death Hand bandit group, they would even disembowel themselves and fight while covered in blood. Are they evil soul masters?
But the Grim Reaper uses corpses to cultivate and even slaughters infants; this is the true method of an evil soul master.

Therefore, Ma Xiaotao felt that it was perfectly normal for the inner court disciples, who were also encountering evil soul masters for the first time, to not imagine that evil soul masters would have the ability to increase the power of their soul skills by having more corpses and stronger corpses in life.

This was purely due to a lack of intelligence.

"And you two?" Wang Yan asked, looking at Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen.

“I’m about the same as Ma Xiaotao,” Dai Yueheng said.

"Everything is normal," Ling Luochen said succinctly. "That's good." Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the seven reserve team members.

"You guys were also very good. In your first battle, you showed the spirit that Shrek Academy should have and protected the honor of Shrek Academy."

"Over the past two days, I've not only been watching other academies' matches, but also gathering intelligence on them and their reactions to our Shrek Academy."

Even Bei Bei felt a little embarrassed after hearing Wang Yan's words.

They had nothing to do with this first match.

"It's a pity. If Huo Yuhao, your simulation range could be a little larger, you could use your soul skills to make all of you 'become' Soul Emperors, and then have Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao act like they did in the first match. This would not only conceal your true strength, but also confuse others."

Wang Yan's tone was full of regret. While Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's coordinated kill was certainly shocking, if they could be combined with Huo Yuhao's simulation to create the illusion that all of Shrek Academy's students were Soul Emperors, it would surely make other academies tremble with fear.

In this way, the other academies will be under immense pressure just by participating, and Shrek Academy won't even need to make a move, as their opponents will inevitably show their fear.

"Alright, now let me talk about the situation of the competition." Wang Yan raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"This first round of elimination matches was incredibly brutal. Shrek Academy is practically the only academy that was able to advance with such ease."

"Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which is arguably the strongest below us, encountered fierce resistance from their opponents and it took them several minutes to end the battle."

After all, being eliminated means they can no longer participate in the competition. Each college, if not using their best skills, must at least give it their all.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's target is the strongest Shrek Academy, and they are unwilling to reveal their trump cards, which naturally prolongs the battle.

"Starting tomorrow, the Soul Battle Tournament will enter the round-robin stage. The list of participants for the round-robin stage will be arranged according to the order in which they qualified from the first round of the knockout stage. In order to facilitate tactical arrangements for tomorrow, I need to know the effects of all of your Soul Skills."

What kind of soul skills a soul master possesses is a secret, but Bei Bei responded to Wang Yan almost the instant Wang Yan finished speaking.

This was for the glory of Shrek Academy, and he naturally didn't hesitate to explain.

"My four soul skills are called Thunder Dragon Claw, Thunderous Might, Thunderous Fury, and Thunder Dragon Head..."

Not only the name, but also the skill effects were explained in detail by Beibei.

The same applies to Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan.

Within the academy, especially now that they are participating in the Soul Fighting Tournament, it is quite normal for teams to understand each other.

Wang Yan then looked at He Caitou and said, "Caitou, although as a Soul Master, I rarely use Soul Master abilities, as you have seen, we only have hope of winning the final victory if you persevere to the end. Therefore, I must consider whatever abilities are available."

"Could you also tell us about your soul skills?"

He Caitou nodded first, and said, "Actually, my soul skill isn't bad either, but..."

At this point, a hint of embarrassment appeared on He Caitou's face.
