In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 87. A Touch of Yori Dango - Ma Xiaotao

Hu Yuan said in a deep voice, "There's no point in saying more. We haven't even had any contact with the Body Sect yet, so it's too early to draw conclusions. We're just talking business. If we keep things in check, we shouldn't offend them. I've dealt with the Body Sect a few times, and they don't seem like the kind of unreasonable force. At least they're easier to talk to than the Sea God Pavilion."

Xu Ming: "..."

Chen Lie: "..."

You're not even going to act anymore, are you? You're directly making fun of the Sea God Pavilion. Aren't you afraid that Xuan Laogou will cause you trouble?

Xu Ming waved his hand and said with a solemn expression, "Alright, alright, let's stop here for today. The war hasn't even started yet, so there's no point in talking any more. Um... you two, our Star Luo Empire's frontline medicine supply is running low. Could you provide us with a batch of healing medicine? Don't worry, the price will be the market price, not a penny less."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded in agreement. It didn't matter who they sold the healing medicine to; it was only right for allies to help each other. They could clear out their inventory and refine another batch of healing medicine so they could take a cut.

Thus, the first meeting between the three great empires came to an end. Although there were some unpleasant incidents along the way, it was generally quite harmonious. Without the interference of the Sea God Pavilion, everyone felt much more at ease.

It should be noted that in the past, when the Star Luo Empire lacked medicine, it would first send a portion of its funds to Shrek City. The corresponding purchasing personnel of the Sea God Pavilion would then use these funds to purchase medicines from the Heavenly Soul and Fighting Spirit Empires. After obtaining the medicines, they would be delivered to the front lines by students from the inner court of Shrek Academy, thus achieving the goal of winning people's hearts.

The Star Luo Empire was already fed up with the Sea God Pavilion's "futile" behavior. Now, by directly connecting with the two great empires, the efficiency would be much higher.

Meanwhile, in a room on the top floor of the Starlight Hotel.

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and immediately checked his surroundings. When he saw the six members of the Tang Sect and the seven members of the Youth Group sitting neatly around the bed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Shrek Academy team had not suffered any casualties. Heaven was still looking out for them.

"Now that he's awake, everyone can disperse. The youth team still has several fierce battles to fight. Even if they don't cultivate, they should at least rest up. There's no need to waste time on such trivial matters."

As she spoke, Aying took Ling Luochen's hand and stepped out of the room. While she couldn't just find any man while wearing Ma Xiaotao's body, she could always find a girl as a plaything. Ling Luochen's ice wand was excellent, better than any toy on the market, and it perfectly solved her immediate problem.

Watching the two of them walk out of the room, exuding a sweet, romantic aura, no one sensed anything amiss. A month had passed, and everyone's impression of Ma Xiaotao had subtly changed. Hmm... a girl with a temperament and personality no different from a man, hugging and cuddling with another girl... it didn't seem so strange after all.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao clutched his head with both hands, trembling uncontrollably as if he were having an epileptic seizure. Everyone immediately turned their attention to Xu Fengxian.

Xu Fengxian shrugged and said helplessly, "Huo Yuhao has injured his spiritual sea. At this stage, I don't have a good way to help him heal. I can only wait for him to recover on his own."

"Then... Xiao Fengxian, don't you have any painkillers? Look how much pain Xiao Yuhao is in, he's almost biting someone." Tang Ya said with some heartache.

Xu Fengxian: "..."

Painkillers? You, Tang Ya, are truly a genius. You actually came up with the outrageous idea of ​​feeding soul masters painkillers. Even the princesses of the four great empires aren't this pampered, are they?

Seeing that Xu Fengxian's expression was not good, Beibei cleared her throat and quickly changed the subject, "Um... Little Fengxian, if it really doesn't work, how about preparing some medicinal bath for Junior Brother? His injuries will take a long time to heal, and he can't neglect his cultivation."

"Well... alright." Xu Fengxian really wanted to say that soaking in a medicinal bath while injured would cause the toxins to accumulate in her body. After thinking it over, she finally did not refuse Bei Bei's suggestion and prepared the medicinal bath in front of everyone from the Tang Clan.

Huo Yuhao is too reckless. He kills a genius soul master like Qian Chongxin without hesitation. At this rate, he'll get himself killed sooner or later.

Sigh! I should find a chance to kick Huo Yuhao out of the Tang Sect.

Amidst these mixed emotions, the day quickly passed, and the semi-finals of the Soul Master Tournament officially began.

The first match today is between the Shrek Academy team and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master team in the youth group. This was the result of discussions between Xu Ming, Chen Lie, and Hu Yuan. They wanted to bring these two rivals together as soon as possible. Regardless of who wins or loses, the Sun Moon Empire teams playing away will definitely have to wait until the end of the Soul Master Competition before they can leave Star Luo City, which gives them enough time to prepare.

The Tang Clan members wanted Huo Yuhao to stay in the room to recover from his injuries, but Huo Yuhao refused, clinging tightly to Xu Sanshi's leg and refusing to let go, which disgusted Xu Sanshi.

With no other option, the group provided Huo Yuhao with a wheelchair, which Dai Ying then pushed to the Shrek team's youth group rest area.

Looking at the hostess above the Soul Arena, Huo Yuhao's gaze deepened. Calculating the distance, his Spirit Eye Martial Soul's first soul skill—Mental Detection Sharing—could cover the entire Soul Arena. This meant that... even though he was in the rest area, he could provide a boost to everyone on stage, adding a bit of leverage to the Shrek Academy team.

"In the first semifinal match of the Youth Group, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team will face off against the Shrek Academy Team. As is customary, starting from the semifinals, each round will consist of one singles elimination match, one 2-2-3 battle, and one 7-7 team match, all in a best-of-three format. The first team to reach two wins will be the victor!"

After speaking, the female host flapped her sky-blue butterfly wings and left the arena, leaving the scene to be taken over by a burly middle-aged man.

"In the singles elimination round, the first player from each team can now take the field."

The referee's expression was not good. In order to ensure that there would be no accidents in this match, the Star Luo officials specially appointed this level 97 Super Douluo as the referee. He, who prided himself on his high moral character and prestige, was actually doing the things of a young man. How could he not be happy?

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Dai Yueheng strode onto the Soul Arena. As the second-in-command of the Shrek team, it was most appropriate for him to be the first to take the stage.

Dai Yueheng definitely has a legacy to rely on. He has integrated the template of Hei Xiaohu. That's right, he is Hei Xiaohu, one of the three most popular simps in the animation world... Boiling Sheep, Two-Faced Turtle, and Hei Xiaohu.

Unfortunately, Dai Yueheng didn't inherit Hei Xiaohu's sycophantic nature, which made things a bit less fun for her.
