Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 107 Allocation

Upon hearing Elder Xuan's words, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng stepped out and stood facing each other on either side. Judging from their decisiveness, they were clearly used to Elder Xuan's way of doing things.

Ma Xiaotao spoke first: "I choose Gongyang Mo for the starting lineup and Ji Lin for the reserve lineup."

Choosing a support player for the main team is a wise move. She herself is the strongest offensive player on the field. Having a support player makes a big difference. The reserve player she chose, Ji Lin, is also the one she is most familiar with, and Ji Lin is also the one with the highest cultivation level among the reserve players.

Gongyang Mo gracefully walked to Ma Xiaotao's side, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiaotao, you have excellent taste."

A hint of disgust flashed in Ma Xiaotao's eyes as she said, "Keep five meters away from me, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Gongyang Mo was not annoyed and stood smiling five meters away from her.

Ji Lin also came to Ma Xiaotao's side and greeted her, "Sister Xiaotao."

Ma Xiaotao gave Ji Lin a gentle smile and said softly, "Okay, stand next to me."

Seeing the gentle Ma Xiaotao, Gongyang Mo took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost, and the smile on his face almost collapsed.

Even Ling Luochen looked at Ma Xiaotao in surprise. Among those present, she and Ma Xiaotao had the worst relationship. The two were like ice and fire, incompatible. Moreover, she refused to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire because she found it troublesome. Therefore, the two had always been at odds in the inner courtyard. However, she also understood Ma Xiaotao the most. Seeing Ma Xiaotao being so gentle to Ji Lin, she immediately noticed something was amiss.

The other inner court disciples were also dumbfounded, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

Xu Sanshi looked at Ji Lin as if he were looking at a god, almost as if he wanted to become Ji Lin's disciple on the spot.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Ma Xiaotao looked at Dai Yueheng provocatively and said, "Your turn."

Dai Yueheng also gave Ma Xiaotao a strange look, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Zifeng and Xu Sanshi."

Ma Xiaotao chose Ji Lin, the highest-ranking support and backup candidate, so he chose Chen Zifeng, the highest-ranking remaining support candidate, and Xu Sanshi, the highest-ranking backup candidate.

Chen Zifeng and Xu Sanshi immediately went to Dai Yueheng's side.

After Dai Yueheng made his choice, Ma Xiaotao smiled and made her choice again, "Xixi, Wang Qiu'er."

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's choice, Xuanzi paused in his drinking, as if he had thought of something that was giving him a headache.

Xu Sanshi's expression changed, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Dai Yueheng glanced at Xu Sanshi with a puzzled look, but didn't ask any further questions.

When Beibei heard that Ma Xiaotao had chosen Wang Qiu'er, her lips twitched, and she looked at Xu Sanshi with pity.

Only the reserve team and Elder Xuan knew what it meant to put Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er on the same team.

The tragic scene in the Soul Fighting Zone was still vivid in their minds; that assessment left a deep impression on them.

Ma Xiaotao knew that Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er had a martial soul fusion skill, but she didn't know how strong it was. She was already unconscious at the time, but since they could defeat her when she was out of her mind, they must be very strong. That's why she smiled when Dai Yueheng didn't choose Wang Qiu'er.

They immediately chose Wang Qiu'er, along with Xixi, who was also a regular pick.

After seeing Ma Xiaotao's choice, Dai Yueheng decisively chose the last two in the main selection: "Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan."

Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan are both control-type characters, and Yao Haoxuan also plays support. Dai Yueheng felt that this game was in the bag and they were sure to win.

It exudes an aura of dominance, as if it owns the world.

Next, Ma Xiaotao chose Beibei and Xiaoxiao, and Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong'er were naturally assigned to Dai Yueheng's side.

Ma Xiaotao already has Xixi. There's no need for another agility-based attacker like Jiang Nannan. For a strong attack type, she'd definitely choose Beibei with high cultivation, and Xiaoxiao, being a control type, is practically a must-have.

So Xiaoxiao made a face at Wang Dong'er with a smug look on her face, while Wang Dong'er walked dejectedly toward Dai Yueheng.

Jiang Nannan looked at Xu Sanshi, who was excited about being on the same team as her, with a look of disgust.

She really didn't want to be on the same team as Xu Sanshi, but there was nothing she could do; Ma Xiaotao didn't choose her.

The competition led by Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng was not only for team cohesion, but also a test of their ability to select players.

This match will also determine who will lead the team in the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Before Ma Xiaotao suppressed the evil fire, Dai Yueheng was the team leader. But after Ma Xiaotao joined, she took the captain's position. Dai Yueheng was very dissatisfied, so this match will also determine the captain of the Shrek team.

Xuanzi, clutching his large wine jug, glanced sympathetically at Dai Yueheng, but still chuckled and said, "Since you've already chosen your teammates, I'll give you ten minutes to discuss tactics. After ten minutes, the sparring begins. The loser just has to shout 'I'm a pig!'"

Ji Lin's lips twitched. What kind of punishment was this? It was too abstract!

Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er exchanged a glance and made up their minds that they had to win. They moved closer to each other, ready to use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique at any moment.

Seeing Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er's underhanded actions, Wang Dong'er cried out inwardly, "No! You two, have you no humanity at all? Can't you stop being so shameless?!"

Xuanzi also noticed their actions. His lips twitched and his face darkened, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't intend to forbid them from using the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. At worst, he would punish them to clean up the mess later.

Xiao Xiao almost burst out laughing when she heard about the punishment, and her eyes were full of schadenfreude as she looked at Wang Dong'er.

Seven people from each side slowly spread out, each positioned on one side of the assessment area.

Gongyang Mo asked Ma Xiaotao in a low voice, "Xiaotao, how should we fight? The double control combination of Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan on the other side is very troublesome, you should know that."

Ma Xiaotao sneered and said, "When the competition starts, you just need to support us. I'll deal with Dai Yueheng, Xiaolin, you take care of Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan, Wang Qiu'er, you take care of Chen Zifeng, Xiaoxiao, support Wang Qiu'er, Xixi, you take care of Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong'er on the other side, and Beibei, you deal with Xu Sanshi."

Ma Xiaotao was very confident in Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er's strength. Ji Lin was a natural counter to Ling Luochen, and Ling Luochen was practically a free kill in front of Ji Lin. As for Yao Haoxuan, he was no match for Ji Lin.

Wang Qiu'er is also very strong. With Xiao Xiao's help to control Chen Zifeng, she will definitely have no problem fighting him.

The remaining Beibei and Xu Sanshi are old rivals. Xixi may not be able to defeat Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong'er for a while, but as long as Ji Lin deals with Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan, the rest will be fine.

Moreover, they have Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er's Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a backup; with the Flying Dragon charging in, how could they possibly lose?

Ma Xiaotao, holding a winning hand, was brimming with confidence.

Although Gongyang Mo didn't know where Ma Xiaotao's confidence came from, he believed that Ma Xiaotao wouldn't act recklessly, and he also knew how important this match was for Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng.
