Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 144 First Appearance
Ma Rulong's father looked back in some surprise. He always felt that during the time he was away, some changes that he didn't know about seemed to have happened in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy team.

Before he could figure it out, everyone had already arrived at the rest area. On the distant city wall, Xu Jiawei and a group of ministers from the Star Luo Empire had already taken their seats. On the other side of the arena, everyone from Shrek Academy had also sat down.

"The finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition are about to begin. I, Huang Jinxu, will be the referee. Now, I will announce the rules of the finals."

"The finals consist of a team competition, an individual elimination round, and a two-two-three match format, with two wins out of three. The team competition..."

Referee Huang Jinxu's voice echoed from the arena. Ma Rulong's father turned around and looked at the students. "There have been so many editions of the Fighting Spirit Competition. Although the specific rules of each competition may vary slightly, the finals all follow the same format."

"In the first team match, our Soul Master's advantage will be magnified. Therefore, if we want to win, we must win the first team match. Do you understand?"

The students nodded, and then their eyes focused on Lin Xiao.

Ma Rulong's father frowned. It had only been a short time, but he felt that in the hearts of these students, Lin Xiao had become the real team leader.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled at Ma Rulong's father.

In fact, it’s not their fault. After all, he has memories of his previous life and has a lot of information about the teams participating in the competition.

In addition to the training method of the Holy Spirit Church, he had no idea how many actual battles he had experienced since he was a child. Therefore, just by sitting in the rest area and taking a look, combined with his memories of his previous life, he could guess the capabilities and tactics of the team on the stage.

Especially the match between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Empire Royal Academy in the semi-finals. The whole process of the match was almost within Lin Xiao's expectations. In the eyes of students like Ma Rulong, he had already replaced the position of the team leader.

Glancing far to the west, Lin Xiao realized that some people in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy might still be concerned about the outcome of this match. He collected his thoughts and stopped being polite.

If he really only analyzed the tactics of other teams, he might not be able to compare with a professional team leader like Ma Rulong's father.

But facing the Shrek Academy in front of him, no one in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy knew it better than him.

"Teacher Ma is right." Lin Xiao nodded. "In team competitions, our soul masters naturally have an advantage. I think Shrek Academy is also aware of this."

"Some tactics have been hidden until now, so they're ready for use. At this point in the finals, there's no need to keep them hidden. When the teamfight begins, maximize your firepower advantage."

"However, the team competition, individual competition, and the subsequent 223 will all be completed within one day, so remember to save your status."

Lin Xiao said, looking towards the direction of Shrek Academy across from him, "I guess Shrek Academy knows the advantages of soul masters and won't fight with all their might in team battles."

Ma Rulong's father glanced at Lin Xiao with dissatisfaction. "We have the advantage in the team competition. Isn't it time to give it our all? What if something unexpected happens?"

"Teacher Ma, please let me play later." Before Lin Xiao could speak, Xiao Hongchen stood up and said, "As for the tactics, follow what Senior Lin said. I will ensure that there will be no accidents."

Ma Rulong's father opened his mouth but didn't continue speaking. He was obviously a little afraid of Xiao Hongchen. He looked at Lin Xiao again and then turned his head away again.

Xiao Hongchen retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Xiao, "Senior Lin, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"That's all." Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head. "I think Captain Ma will handle the remaining situations on the arena." "Team members from both sides, please enter the arena." Tian Sha Douluo Huang Jinxu calculated the time, and his voice carried far and wide. In the rest areas on both sides of the arena, a total of fourteen contestants stood up at the same time and walked towards the arena.

"Remember your positions. Be wary of their position-switching spirit ability." Ma Rulong led the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Guidance Academy's group toward the arena, whispering a few more words, "Do you remember what to do if you're switched?"

"Yeah." The other team members nodded, and Ma Rulong walked onto the stage with confidence.

The three regular Shrek Academy players have all entered the ring. The atmosphere on the ring has become slightly tense. Ma Xiaotao's face looks normal. It seems that with Huo Yuhao's help, she has recovered from the effects of the past few days.

"The game begins..."

Just as the two contestants took their positions on both sides of the ring, Huang Jinxu's voice resounded throughout the Xingluo Square.

The next moment, countless light balls condensed from soul power were released through the soul guide, like a peacock spreading its tail. The sky full of light instantly filled the entire arena, and with a shrill whistle, it headed straight for Shrek Academy.

This is the tactic most commonly used by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in team competitions, and it is also the tactic that fully demonstrates the advantages of soul guides.

Strong suppression and continuous attacks are enough to force the opponent off the ring.

Shrek Academy would certainly not sit still and wait for death. At the same time as those light balls rose into the sky, Dai Yueheng also soared into the sky. The fourth soul ring around him shone brightly, and the range-type soul skill White Tiger Meteor Shower was performed, colliding with the light balls in the sky.

A violent roar sounded, and the impact caused by the explosion continued to fall on the soul guide shield outside the ring, causing ripples.

Amidst the explosions, the second round of attacks from both sides came at the same time as if they had agreed on it.

With a phoenix cry, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Meteor Shower also blocked the attacks of a large number of soul guides.

Below the ring, Wang Yan was sitting in the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, his eyes fixed on the ring, but he did not look too nervous.

Up to this point, the situation on the stage had been within his expectations. As the head teacher of Shrek Academy, he was naturally aware of the advantages of soul guides. Therefore, he had no intention of winning the first team battle, but only intended to deplete the combat power of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.

However, the next moment, his expression changed instantly.

There was another volley of shots, and the faces of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng on the ring changed.

The light and sound of the explosion obscured their perception of the direction of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, but they could feel that the enemy's firepower had more than doubled in an instant.

On the top of the city wall, Xu Jiawei leaned forward slightly, pressing his palm tightly on the wall, leaving a shallow mark.

"Is this the latest soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire?"

As an emperor, he saw far more than just the performance in the ring, but also the role in war.
