Douluo Continent: I'm writing a diary, and something's not right with you guys.

Everyone was pessimistic about Xiao Xiao, but she proved them wrong. Upon entering Shrek Academy, she formed the trio of Hao, Dong, and Xiao with the male and female leads.

Xiao Xiao, who had already finished her run, paused upon hearing this, her complex emotions momentarily frozen.

She looked up and glanced at Wang Dong'er, who was dressed as a man, not far away.

Of course, her name is now Wang Dong.

Xiao Xiao was immediately embarrassed. You know what, you really shouldn't say that.

If she didn't have a copy of the diary, she would definitely have liked Wang Dong at first sight. She liked guys like Wang Dong.

Chapter 66 Xiao Xiao: Huh? Is it me?

Wang Dong'er on the other side also looked over in surprise, and their eyes met. Then Xiao Xiao immediately looked away.

Wang Dong'er found it amusing. She had been by Lin Ye's side for quite some time, and her temperament had already been tempered.

If it were the old her, she probably would have looked away.

But now, she was actually looking at Xiao Xiao with great interest.

Lin Ye was absolutely right; these famous leading ladies have never disappointed in terms of looks.

Even she had to admit that Xiao Xiao was indeed very beautiful.

In the class assessment competition, Xiao Xiao, with her strong control, and Hao Dong won the championship. Xiao Xiao's most unforgettable moment was undoubtedly her superb teamwork with He Cai Tou during the first Soul Master Competition.

Ok?

Xiao Xiao's small eyes were filled with great confusion.

Who is He Cai Tou Tou? She doesn't know this person yet.

However, judging from Lin Ye's words, she seems to have a good relationship with this senior brother He Caitou in the future.

Who would have thought? A seemingly delicate and insignificant little girl possesses boundless energy within her.

He Caitou, a dignified seven-foot-tall man, was actually being protected behind a girl who wasn't even half his height, all because he was charging up a soul-guided cannon.

what?

Wang Dong'er glanced at Xiao Xiao. Was the main character in the Soul Master Competition actually this seemingly frail little girl?

So it seems that Lin Ye's assessment of a strong start followed by a decline was not just empty talk; on the field, they actually had to rely on a young girl to buy time.

Moreover, judging from Lin Ye's words, this He Caitou seems to be a Soul Master.

Wang Dong'er became interested and wanted to investigate who this guy named He Caitou really was.

Starry Sky Forest.

The moment those words flashed through the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mind, it suddenly opened its eyes, its three golden pupils filled with shock and undisguised admiration.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, the law of the jungle is ingrained. In all her years, she had never seen tall and strong soul beasts stand in front, shielding their weaker companions from danger.

I never imagined that a human girl who looks so petite and delicate would use her own body to shield a man who is twice her size and much stronger.

The three-eyed golden lion shook its fluffy head, feeling both puzzled and filled with uncontrollable admiration.

She is the emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest. From childhood to adulthood, all the soul beasts have cherished and protected her. They have never experienced what it feels like to do everything in their power to protect someone.

But this human girl named Xiao Xiao, despite her petite body and the fact that her soul power wasn't the strongest in the team, dared to stand at the very front, using her martial soul and her own flesh and blood to create an absolutely safe area for her companions behind her.

Her vertical eyes blinked slightly, and she gained a completely new understanding of the "human" species.

It turns out that not all humans are greedy people who venture into the Star Dou Great Forest just to hunt soul beasts. It turns out that there are also such brave, resilient, and willing beings among humans who are willing to risk everything for their companions.

She used to think that Lin Ye was a good person and that all other humans were bad people who wanted to hunt for spirit rings, but now she no longer thinks that way.

She may look like a little girl, but deep down she has a tough, indomitable spirit.

With just a tripod and a flute, she is adept at both offense and defense, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is a team all by herself.

What's even more remarkable is her indomitable spirit.

Despite having a delicate and adorable face, and appearing to everyone as a little girl who needs to be taken care of, she is actually tougher and more resilient than many adult male soul masters.

[Yet, this very strong character was reduced to a nobody in the later episodes of Douluo Continent II, with very little screen time.]

Tang Ya's eyes instantly reddened; she understood this feeling all too well.

I know all too well what it feels like to have given it your all, to have the ability to support everything, only to end up as someone else's background character, a tool in someone else's story.

She was the leader of the Tang Clan and its last successor. Her lifelong wish was to revive the Tang Clan and bring this once glorious sect back to life in her hands.

In that pre-written script, she would eventually be corrupted by evil fire and become a vengeful evil spirit master.

She and Xiao Xiao were both trying their best to live, and they were both willing to give everything for their goals and their companions.

In the end, they can only become supporting characters in other people's stories, with very little screen time.

Tang Ya raised her hand and wiped away the tears that had slid down her cheeks. A deep hatred welled up in her eyes. She hated Tang San, who had controlled the fate of all of them, and hated him for trampling on their lives for the sake of his pawns.

Although Lin Ye said that he joined the evil soul master camp on his own in the future, it was not someone else's scheme or arrangement. He simply decided to embark on the path of the evil soul master for various reasons.

He was entirely at fault.

But Tang Ya didn't care. That was the Tang Ya of the future, the Tang Ya of another timeline. In this timeline, she hadn't experienced what would happen later, nor had she gone to the Iron Blood Sect to seek revenge.

Although she didn't know what she would experience in the future that would lead her to choose to fall into depravity and become a true evil spirit master.

But now, she absolutely refuses to admit it, and she would never do anything like what Lin Ye described in his diary.

No matter what happens in the future, she will never be able to step onto the path of an evil soul master again.

Moreover, Lin Ye had already pointed out the direction for her, indicating the evolution path of her Dark Blue Silver Grass, so she no longer needed to absorb the blood and essence of others to increase her strength as before.

Later, Xiao Xiao became one of the Shrek Seven Devils and became a disciple of Xuanzi. She successfully inherited Xuanzi's ruthlessness, and she even swung the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron into the Clear Sky Hammer.

Although I don't like Xuanzi as a person, aside from being unreliable, he's quite good to his own people. After Xiaoxiao became his student, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to her instruction; I'd give Xuanzi an extra point for that.

Oh my goodness, what's wrong with Lin Ye? He actually added 1 point to Elder Xuan.

As the female protagonist who has read the diary knows, Lin Ye cursed Elder Xuan in the beginning, calling him the only one in heaven and no one on earth, and an absolute beast among beasts.

He was even given the title of Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Church.

Unexpectedly, his teaching skills actually earned him points with Master Xuan.

Xiao Xiao was a little surprised that she would be able to become a disciple of Elder Xuan in the future.

She had learned from the diary that Elder Xuan was a Super Douluo, and a level 98 Super Douluo at that, a true powerhouse standing at the top of the continent.

How could she have such an opportunity to become a disciple of Master Xuan?

Chapter 67 The Soul of the Eight Trigrams Burns

During the second Soul Master Competition, Xiao Xiao, relying solely on a single cauldron, utterly defeated the Bright Moon Sect.

Under Elder Xuan's careful guidance, Xiao Xiao successfully transitioned from a support role to a powerful offensive player in the team.

[Later, during the battle between the Tang Sect and the Body Sect, despite the vast difference in their levels, Xiao Xiao not only did not flee in the face of the enemy, but also single-handedly overwhelmed the Body Sect's captain, Long Aotian.]

Ning Tian looked at those words, his admiration almost overflowing.

The Body Sect is one of the top sects on the continent, renowned for its Body Martial Soul. Every core disciple is an outstanding individual among their peers.

Not to mention Long Aotian, the future captain of the Body Sect, who was probably one of the most dazzling geniuses in the Soul Master world at that time.

There is a whole level difference between him and Xiao Xiao.

If it were any other Soul Master of the same level, facing such a disparate opponent, they would probably have already become intimidated and retreated without a fight.

But look at Xiao Xiao, she didn't back down. Instead, she took the initiative to meet the challenge. With her twin martial souls, her honed soul skills, and the tenacity in her bones, she managed to overwhelm Long Aotian, who was far superior to her, leaving him flustered and helpless.

Ning Tian sighed softly to himself.

With such courage, such strength, and such character, how many Soul Masters of the same generation can compare?

Such a genius ultimately ended up as a background character, without even a decent ending. How regrettable, how unfair.

Unfortunately, the level difference between Xiao Xiao and Long Aotian was still too great, and in the end, Xiao Xiao, despite giving it her all, was forced to admit defeat.

However, this is only a strategic concesion; it doesn't mean Xiao Xiao has truly lost.

Upon seeing this, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but silently say to herself, "That's right."

Often, outward submission is not true failure. True failure is giving up on oneself and giving up resistance from the bottom of one's heart.

Xiao Xiao did not lose. Even when facing opponents of a much higher level than herself, even when she fought until her soul power was exhausted and she was completely drained, she did not give up her bottom line.

She earned the respect of her opponents and the recognition of everyone through her own strength; she has never lost.

She herself was the same. Even if she was facing the enforcers of the God Realm, or Tang San, who had lived for tens of thousands of years and whose strength was unfathomable, she would not admit defeat or bow her head.

She will not let him control her life, and she will no longer be a puppet in his hands.

She wanted revenge, she wanted to live her own life, and she wanted to break free from this damned, airtight cage.

In the subsequent 7v7 team battle, Xiao Xiao used her formidable strength to take on six opponents single-handedly, successfully drawing fire away from Huo Yuhao.

To be honest, this team would really fall apart without Xiao Xiao.

Whether it's Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Haodong Power, or He Caitou's Soul-Guided Cannonball, all require a long period of charging before their power can be released.
