Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 27 Testing Strength
"Leave it to me." Keqing nodded slightly, then supported Ma Xiaotao and walked towards the villa. Soon, their figures disappeared from Lu Jingming's sight.

Not until Keqing and Ma Xiaotao completely disappeared did Lu Jingming put away the playful expression on his face and looked serious.

He looked at Zhang Lexuan and asked softly, "How is it, Sister Lexuan?"

Zhang Lexuan naturally understood what Lu Jingming wanted to ask.

She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "Very strong. Even if we were at the same level, it wouldn't be easy for me to win. And you have to know that if the evil fire in her body can be successfully expelled and her martial spirit evolves into the ultimate fire, then I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me to defeat her."

Lu Jingming was not surprised by this. After all, Zhang Lexuan was not cheating. She was a pure genius who grew up with her own talent and unremitting efforts.

Ma Xiaotao is also a gifted and outstanding person. Under the careful training of a top academy like Shrek Academy, her strength is naturally not to be underestimated.

At the same level, Zhang Lexuan was able to defeat Ma Xiaotao, which was largely due to Jingliu's careful teaching and cultivation of her.

Although it seemed that Zhang Lexuan defeated Ma Xiaotao easily, in fact, she also used four soul skills!
If Zhang Lexuan's real level was the same as Ma Xiaotao's, both at level 41, she would never have won this fighting spirit battle so easily.

Although Zhang Lexuan actively suppressed her soul power level during the battle, the quality and total amount of soul power at the Soul Emperor level would not change.

Even though the rich and powerful soul power was deliberately restrained, it still gave Zhang Lexuan a certain advantage.

Zhang Lexuan took the initiative to accept the fighting spirit challenge with Ma Xiaotao on behalf of Lu Jingming, and the reason was not just to protect her husband.

The deeper reason was that she wanted to take this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the strength of the elite disciples who graduated from Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent.

After all, Saint Freya College has now been officially registered in the Star Luo Empire and has become a high-level soul master college.

As a result, the academy has obtained the qualification to participate in the 2023rd Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition to be held in Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire next year.

In fact, considering the actual situation of St. Freya Academy itself, it is not easy to be rated as a high-level soul master academy.

However, as a noble of the Xingluo Empire and with a step-sister who was a princess, Lu Jingming, with the help of many convenient conditions, successfully solved this problem through some "special channels".

Even though some people disagreed with this, when they learned that there was an awe-inspiring Titled Douluo in charge of Saint Freya Academy, they all fell silent in an instant.

After all, it is not worth it to offend a Titled Douluo for such a small matter.

Those who have worked in the aristocratic circle are all shrewd and sophisticated, and naturally would not do such a stupid thing.

Zhang Lexuan will be exactly eighteen years old next year, fully meeting the requirements for participation and is eligible to participate in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.

However, the tricky problem facing her is that finding suitable teammates is not easy.

St. Freya College was established not long ago, lacks foundation, and has a limited number of outstanding students.

At present, the only one who is of the right age and capable of competing with her is Keqing.

However, Lu Jingming already had a solution in mind for this problem. It simply required gathering five teammates capable of participating in the competition. He believed that Ms. Heita was incredibly talented and capable, so solving this minor problem should be no problem. While it was not difficult to find spirit masters under the age of twenty, finding those who could sustain their skills and reach a spirit power level of at least level forty was far more challenging.

In the entire Haiyuan City, there are very few soul masters who meet this condition, and most of these people come from families or sects, not students of Saint Freya Academy.

As a result, Lu Jingming had to find another way. He had to gather five people at all costs and make sure that they would not become a burden to Zhang Lexuan and Keqing.

After all, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has attracted much attention. As long as Saint Freya Academy can advance to the top 32 in the competition, the academy's reputation will naturally rise.

Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her eyes in a daze, and what came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling.

She was slightly stunned, then realized that she was lying on a soft and comfortable big bed.

She propped up her slightly lazy body, stretched it out, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable all over. It was not at all like she was in a state after just going through a fierce and hard battle and exhausting her soul power.

Ma Xiaotao is no stranger to this feeling.

She knew in her heart that a healing spirit master had given her comprehensive and meticulous treatment during her coma, helping her to recover her body functions as much as possible and avoid any sequelae.

As she moved, the sheets on her body inadvertently slipped off, revealing a thin set of pajamas.

Ma Xiaotao was shocked to find that her original clothes had been changed. Thinking that this was not the familiar Shrek Academy, her face instantly became a little ugly, and a sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.

"Don't worry, I'll help you change your clothes." At this moment, Keqing gently pushed open the door, holding a bowl of fragrant fish soup steadily in her hand.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw that Ma Xiaotao had a strange expression on her face. She immediately understood what she was thinking and explained with a smile.

As a girl, it is not difficult to guess what Ma Xiaotao is thinking.

Seeing that it was Keqing, Ma Xiaotao's expression finally relaxed a lot and she said softly, "Thank you!"

She was not someone who did not know etiquette. In this situation, it was obvious that Keqing had taken good care of her during her coma, and a thank you was the minimum polite response.

"My name is Keqing. This bowl of fish soup is made with a hundred-year-old silver spirit fish. It will be very helpful in restoring your soul power."

Keqing first introduced herself in a friendly manner, and then handed the steaming fish soup in her hand to Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao took the fish soup without any hesitation.

She knew in her heart that if the other party really wanted to harm her, there would be plenty of opportunities when she was unconscious and unable to resist, so she was not worried about the fish soup being poisonous.

"My name is Ma Xiaotao, you can just call me Xiaotao." Ma Xiaotao said.

Keqing looks older than her, and as both are girls, Ma Xiaotao unexpectedly shows a well-behaved and docile side at this moment. Compared with her rebellious and hot-tempered appearance in front of Lu Jingming, she is completely different.
