Douluo Continent: Starting with the Burning Blade, he was then entangled with Ma Xiaotao.

Chapter 78 A Cunning Rabbit Has Five Burrows

In the conference room, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who had not participated in the hunt for soul beasts, had already arrived.

Xuanzi and Xianlin'er returned to Shrek Academy to handle other matters, while Wang Yan led the team for the remaining matches.

"Before the semifinals, Jiang Nannan will lead the team, along with the other six reserve players, in all matches." Wang Yan wore a relaxed smile, his tone full of confidence, showing no sign of worry. "When we encounter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, we will adjust our tactics according to the situation and send out our regular players. Does anyone have any questions? If not, the meeting is adjourned, and you can get some rest."

On the way here, Wang Yan had already given the young reserve team a detailed analysis of the previous competitions. With the strength of their reserve team, even if they made it all the way to the semifinals, the pressure wouldn't be too great.

The team he's leading this time is arguably the strongest he's ever coached.

The main team has three Soul Emperors, and even a Soul Saint, Ma Xiaotao. Sometimes he even felt that with his Soul Emperor level cultivation, he was almost unable to control these little monsters.

His ability to lead the team relies more on his extensive competition experience and tactical research.

After the meeting, Ma Xiaotao grabbed Lin Feng and took him directly back to her room.

This scene, witnessed by Ling Luochen, Tang Ya, and Ning Tian, ​​caused them all some annoyance, but none of them dared to speak up and stop it.

As soon as the door closed, Ma Xiaotao eagerly leaned over: "Xiaofeng, quick, let's practice our Martial Soul Fusion Technique again to prepare for the finals. And—you can also help me refine the remaining medicinal power of the scorching glue in my body."

Lin Feng slumped into the sofa, waving his hand weakly: "Spare me, Senior Sister—I flew all the way from the Star Dou Great Forest, my bones are almost falling apart."

As he spoke, he rolled over and lay face down on the soft bed in the center of the room, burying his face in the pillow, and mumbled, "Let me catch my breath—"

"Hmm? Tired?——" Ma Xiaotao blinked, a sly smile curving her lips.

She walked to the bedside, naturally took off her boots, revealing her fair and slender feet, and gently stepped onto the mattress.

She stood on the bed, looking at Lin Feng lying on the floor, her voice tinged with amusement: "Then—let your senior sister give you a back massage? I guarantee it will relieve your fatigue."

As she spoke, she actually lifted one foot and gently placed the sole of her foot on Lin Feng's shoulder and back. Her sole was soft and warm, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy, with a unique suppleness, pressing precisely on his tense muscles. Her toes moved nimbly, slowly descending along the lines of his spine, occasionally massaging the sore and hard areas with her heel.

Lin Feng stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed under the just-right force, letting out a muffled sound of pleasure from his throat.

"Now, it's my turn to give Sister Xiaotao a massage." Lin Feng stood up nimbly, instantly turned around, and gently pressed Ma Xiaotao onto the soft bedding.

"You just—" Ma Xiaotao blinked, startled by his sudden action before she could finish her sentence.

"Who am I, your junior brother? The owner of the original martial soul, there is no such thing as a physical body."

Lin Feng looked down at her, a slightly roguish smile playing on his lips.

They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but he's got five!

Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Tang Ya, and Wang Dong, plus the single rooms arranged by the competition organizers.

Lin Feng really wished he had a clone technique, otherwise he would have trouble keeping up with the time.

During his last encounter with Liehuo Xingjiao, he was able to manipulate the waters of the blazing Yangquan Spring and condense a flame warrior. However, that was still far from a true clone with independent capabilities.

Now, he has not only completed the second awakening of his original martial soul, but also fused with the complete Fire Dragon King's torso bone, plus the triple ultimate attribute guidance he just obtained from the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced One, and finally the built-in cheat-like Burning Technique.

With all these advantages, to what extent has his control over fire reached? Even he himself is somewhat unsure.

Lin Feng could feel that the surging power within him seemed to have gained its own life, waiting only for an opportunity to transform into a completely new form.

It's time to calm down and carefully devise a soul skill that perfectly suits him and is unique to him.

True understanding often comes from life-or-death battles. He now only hopes that the semi-finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament will come sooner.

A few days later, early morning.

The sun slowly rose from the east, its rays shining on Xingluo City, located in the center of the continent, bringing a touch of warmth.

Above the majestic main gate of the imperial city, a middle-aged man dressed in a bright yellow robe and wearing an eight-treasure purple-gold crown stood with his hands behind his back, quietly overlooking the vast square below. His position was the highest point in the center of the city gate, offering an excellent view of the entire competition venue.

At this moment, the participating teams from various academies began to enter the arena one after another. Lin Feng and his companions had already arrived at the contestants' area and taken their positions. Today, the entire Shrek Academy team was wearing that dark green school uniform that had been passed down for countless years—

The audience took a full half hour to enter. The once empty Xingluo Square was now packed with people, and the noise was deafening. Fortunately, sturdy iron fences separated the crowds, and a large number of soldiers maintained order, preventing chaos from breaking out.

The sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was starting to get scorching.

"quiet!"

A booming voice, imbued with the oppressive power of soul force, suddenly resounded throughout the entire area. In an instant, all the soldiers stood at attention, spears raised high, and a chilling aura filled the air. The once noisy and bustling square fell silent instantly.

Lin Feng looked up at the Star Luo Emperor, who stood atop the city wall above ten thousand men, and then thought of Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo in the academy, whose back was hunched but whose depths were unfathomable.

One is a human emperor, at the pinnacle of power; the other is a soul master at the limit, at the peak of martial prowess.

It's hard to say which path is better; after all, we are all just ordinary people living our lives, and we can't escape it.

This trip to Douluo Continent is just to cultivate a clear mind.

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about it.

"I hereby declare the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament officially open!"

The Star Luo Emperor's deep voice resounded throughout the venue through the amplified soul tool, instantly igniting everyone's enthusiasm.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!!" A deafening roar of cheers erupted, completely igniting the emotions of the people.

On the city wall, the soul-guided cannons, symbolizing the highest honor, began to roar, with deafening booms coming one after another, for a total of one hundred and eight shots.

"The first elimination match is about to begin!" The announcer's voice rang out loudly, drowning out the fading echoes of the celebratory cannons. "The two teams facing off are—the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy team from the Douling Empire, and the Shrek Academy team, the number one academy on the continent, boasting countless honors and having almost swept the championships of the past thousand years!"

However, when Jiang Nannan led six young reserve team members onto the wide competition platform, the boiling cheers seemed to be suddenly doused with cold water, paused briefly, and then turned into an even bigger uproar!

Shrek Academy—isn't that a bit too presumptuous?

Even if they have a strong foundation, the team they sent out was all incredibly young, and they were clearly not the regular players who were subject to the age limit for the competition.

Their opponents, the members of the Tianling Academy team, were all young men approaching twenty years old.

This is an elimination tournament; one battle determines whether you stay or leave, and there are no extra opportunities.

Everyone was stunned, and many spectators had expressions of disbelief and deep confusion on their faces.

Even the Star Luo Emperor looked puzzled and guessed, "Judging from their appearance, this group of young people probably can't even gather three Soul Masters. Shrek Academy is being so arrogant this time, there's going to be a good show."
