In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 191 First fight the strong, then close the positions, the competition begins.

"As for Yan, Jiabao is a good fit. I can assure you that Yan's flame intensity is not as high as yours. You are actually a Soul Master with relatively high fire resistance."

"Yan is facing you, and he can't fully unleash his strength. Moreover, you have the advantage in attack, because you have the external soul bone Flame Golden Terror Claw. The Martial Soul Academy doesn't know your true strength, so Jiabao, you are our secret weapon in this match."

"Hmm!" Mu Jiabao nodded.

"You all stay at your posts. If Xie Yue and Hu Liena realize that they can't take them down by themselves, I will immediately use my Martial Soul Fusion Technique. At that time, Feng Xiaotian will be able to take care of the Soul Masters of the Martial Soul Academy."

"This is our tactic: first attack the strong, then close out the positions."

"Hahaha, as expected of you, kid. You really can't tell what's in your heart just by looking at your appearance. You haven't even revealed your fire resistance and ice resistance characteristics yet, and you still have Mu Jiabao who can hold off Yan. It's going to be difficult for Martial Soul Academy to avoid defeat this time."

"I suppose the fusion skill between Xie Yue and Hu Liena isn't too difficult for you?" Dugu Bo said with a smile.

Lin Hai smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

……

The following day, after having breakfast, the nine members of the Beast Squad headed towards the Papal Palace in Wuhun City.

In the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the team from the Beast Academy will be:

The team's top control-type, offensive-type level 57 Battle Soul King, Lin Hai, possesses the Martial Soul Lightning Blue Silver Emperor, which also has auxiliary effects, such as life recovery, making its effects comparable to the Nine Heart Begonia.

The team ranks second in strength. Feng Xiaotian is a level 53 Battle Soul King with agility and power attack. His Martial Soul is the Gale Twin-Headed Holy Wolf, which has both wind and holy attributes.

His combat power is second only to Lin Hai and Feng Xiaotian. He is a level 45 Battle Soul Master of the offensive type, named Mu Jiabao. His Martial Soul is the Phoenix Flame Golden Bear, which has the ultimate fire attribute and is the king of flames. Not only that, he also has a thick skin and sometimes doubles as a defensive type to absorb damage.

Fourth place: Dugu Yan, a level 46 Battle Soul Master of the Control type, whose Martial Soul is the Azure Phosphorous Dragon. Although she is a Control type, her Soul Skills have an amplifying effect on her teammates.

Fifth place: Longmanga, a level 41 defensive Soul Master. His Martial Soul is the Earth Sand Dragon, which is of extremely high quality. His defensive power is far superior to that of Mu Jiabao.

The sixth is a level 42 Battle Soul Master of the Agility-Attack type, Yara Huchi, whose Martial Soul is the Wind Beast. He is not as good as Feng Xiaotian, but he can hold off his opponents without any problem.

The seventh is Meng Yiran, a level 44 offensive-type Soul Master. Her Martial Soul is the Serpent Staff, which is currently undergoing evolution. This is because the immortal herb Lin Hai gave her focuses on enhancing her talent and strengthening her foundation, so the improvement in her Martial Soul is not visible on the surface, but it is indeed there.

What... you're saying there are no support classes...?

Dugu Yan, First Soul Skill: Azure Phosphorus Poison. Excitement Poison (Stimulates nerves, increases attack power and speed by 20%).

Second Soul Skill: Azure Phosphorus Poison. Paralyzing Poison (eliminates pain, increases defense by 30%).

Lin Hai's first soul skill, Blue Silver Protection, has evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor as his strength has increased. Its single-target support effect now provides a 100% boost to the entire team. Furthermore, Lin Hai's soul power is vast, so when distributed among all members, each person receives a 50% boost to the entire team.

As I said before, Lin Hai has a large amount of soul power, and his soul power recovery is also incredibly fast.

In reality, it was like their Catherine was wasting her time on the field. Her soul skill's support effect might be slightly better than Dugu Yan's, but it was worse than Lin Hai's, not to mention the support-type scepter soul master from the Spirit Hall.

Accompanying them were two titled Douluo, Meng Shu and Dugu Bo. Among them was Dugu Bo, a poison Douluo skilled in massacring cities, whom Bibi Dong was unwilling to provoke.

Once a Title Douluo is reached, it is quite difficult to kill them. Moreover, in public, Bibi Dong would not dare to commit the grave offense of taking down two Title Douluos with lightning speed. If she did, no one would dare to come to the Spirit Hall in the future.

Meng Shu and Dugu Bo weren't worried about Bibi Dong causing trouble; they figured she'd only make a move after they left. However, Bibi Dong would definitely try to recruit Lin Hai, and that would be their chance to shine. Even if it offended the Spirit Hall, they didn't care.

Dugu Bo had long been at odds with the Spirit Hall, so getting involved wouldn't hurt him much. Meng Shu, on the other hand, thought of the alliance of three forces that Lin Hai had mentioned: the Beast Academy, the Crown Prince's faction of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. This alliance was strong enough to rival the Spirit Hall.

Once they wait for Lin Hai, Feng Xiaotian, Mu Jiabao, Meng Yiran, and Dugu Yan—these five exceptionally talented (having consumed the immortal herb) youngsters—to grow up, their Beast Academy will be able to achieve even greater success, and might even be able to break away from the alliance and go solo, because by then they will indeed possess considerable strength.

So he and Dugu Bo placed their future on Lin Hai and his companions. It was a huge gamble. Well, of course, losing wouldn't be a big deal, since they hadn't openly offended the Spirit Hall. At least, that's what they thought.

As they walked along the road, the Soul Masters in Wuhun City watched them and muttered to themselves.

"Hey~ hey~, so this is the Alien Beast Squad! These guys are really handsome!"

"Get out of here, get out of the way. Your sarcastic tone is ruining my good mood."

"There are so many interesting things to see in this competition. The three Soul Kings of the Golden Generation of Martial Soul Academy had already generated a lot of buzz, but unexpectedly, a dark horse has emerged halfway through. Hehe."

"Yeah, suddenly a team appeared with two Soul Kings, seven Soul Masters, and one Soul Venerable. Even the previous Martial Soul Academy didn't have this lineup!"

"It's a pity that the match is being held in front of the Papal Palace; we won't have the chance to see this exciting game."

"Hmph! You're from out of town, aren't you?"

How did you figure that out?

"Hehe, our Spirit City is not comparable to your country bumpkin cities. Our Spirit City has a special soul tool for broadcasting."

"Oh, oh~"

"Hey, did you place your bets? According to reliable sources, both of the Spirit Hall's Soul Kings, Xie Yue and Yan, were defeated by the Beast Academy." The Spirit Hall only announced the Beast Academy's advancement, without mentioning their results, perhaps because they were worried about losing face! But nothing stays hidden forever.

"That's great!"

"Where are you going? I'm going back to mortgage the house."

"Do you really have to go this far? It's so hard to even buy a house in Wuhun City."

"Sigh, anyway, I haven't gotten married yet, and I can still rely on the Spirit Hall's subsidies if I run out of money. I can't keep the house I left behind for too long either, there are too many people coveting it. Rather than that, I might as well go all in and gamble big."

"..."

I can't find which chapter specifically introduced Mu Jiabao's martial soul.
