Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

"A bowl of beef noodles, with a poached egg, please!"

In the already full noodle shop, this sound wasn't particularly noticeable, at most it was a little unusual, since very few people would add a poached egg when eating beef noodles.

However, the shop owner, who was standing at the counter, stopped what he was doing and asked the young waiter he had just hired to come and fill in for him. He then personally brought a bowl of beef noodles from the kitchen to Xu Tianming's seat.

Xu Tianming looked at his boss, who was covered in sweat, and smiled slightly: "Business is booming, boss!"

The boss chuckled sheepishly, "I'm lucky, I'm lucky, it's all thanks to everyone's support..."

As he spoke, the boss sat down next to Xu Tianming.

"Hey kid, you're such a busy man these days, how come you still have time to come to my little noodle shop?"

Xu Tianming reached out and moved the beef noodles in front of him, then pulled out a pair of wooden chopsticks from the chopstick holder next to him and stirred them in the bowl.

"Taking a break from my busy schedule, after indulging in too much good food, let's reminisce about the bitter past and appreciate the sweet present."

The owner chuckled and scolded, "You little rascal, is it beneath you to eat my beef noodles?"

Xu Tianming picked up a large clump of noodles with his chopsticks and swallowed it whole.

"No, not really. Your beef noodles are pretty good, boss."

A diner sitting next to him chimed in, "Yes, yes, the beef noodles here are really good. By the way, there's a reason why the business is so booming..."

The boss smiled and started chatting.

Only after Xu Tianming's bowl was empty did the shop owner stand up, help Xu Tianming clear away the bowl and chopsticks, collect the money, wipe the table, and then quickly walk towards the kitchen, just like a normal business owner.

Xu Tianming did not linger there; after paying, he got up and left.

Only after leaving Shrek City and walking on the road to Shrek Academy, when no one was around, did he open his palm and unfold the note that the boss had just stuffed into his hand.

The note was small, and there weren't many words on it. It basically asked him to find out information about the number of students, teachers, and strength of the inner court of Shrek Academy.

Undercover agents, that's what they do.

After glancing at it, Xu Tianming clutched the note in his hand, his palm suddenly turning bright red.

There was no fire, but by the time Xu Tianming reached the entrance of Shrek Academy, the note in his hand had vanished, leaving only extremely fine ash floating in the air.

Walking along the main road outside Shrek Academy, Xu Tianming watched the students coming and going, his eyes narrowing slightly.

For him, this task was not difficult.

The number of students and teachers in Shrek Academy's inner courtyard is easy to count; you can get the relevant information by simply asking around.

But strength...

This is troublesome. Even if Shrek Academy is a Soul Master Academy, it's impossible for them to keep detailed records of the strength of every student and every teacher. Not only would the academy not do it, but even if they did, the teachers and students wouldn't cooperate.

If your own strength data is recorded in detail, what's the difference between that and someone else having leverage over you?

When Xu Tianming arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake, he had already figured out how to deal with the situation.

The data doesn't need to be detailed; just be general and vague.

For example, there are more than a few Soul Emperors and more than a few Soul Saints in the inner academy, and more than a few Soul Douluos and more than a few Title Douluos among the teachers.

Cooperating to complete the mission was to lower Xu Tianran's guard; he wouldn't actually reveal everything about this place.

Moreover, this task itself is a test.

He has only been in the inner courtyard for a short time. If he could easily handle all these things, then something would be wrong.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. On a battle arena somewhere on Seagod Island, Xu Tianming and Zhang Lexuan continued to clash!

Neither side used their martial spirits or soul skills; they simply exchanged blows using their soul power and combat techniques.

The advantage of doing this is that it allows one to mobilize their own soul power, continuously temper it through battle, enhance the strength of their soul power, and consolidate their cultivation.

boom!

Xu Tianming was sent flying.

Compared to Zhang Lexuan's physical attributes as a Soul Saint of over seventy levels, his physical attributes were still somewhat weaker.

Zhang Lexuan withdrew her fist, exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at Xu Tianming and smiled, "Your cultivation is now completely stable, you can continue cultivating."

Yes, for a whole month, Xu Tianming did not cultivate at all, but instead focused on consolidating his cultivation level!

Xu Tianming felt the powerful and substantial soul force within his body and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I can continue my cultivation!

That night, Xu Tianming and the other two resumed their long-awaited "three-cultivation" mode.

Ma Xiaotao's evil fire hadn't been suppressed for a month, and during the third cultivation, it was obvious that the evil nature of the evil fire phoenix had become even stronger.

The closer Ma Xiaotao's cultivation level gets to Soul Saint, the more vigorous the Phoenix Evil Fire within her body will become. Even if Xu Tianming can suppress it, as long as it is not eradicated, the Phoenix Evil Fire will continue to grow.

Especially after reaching the Soul Saint level and possessing a Martial Soul True Body, the Phoenix Evil Flame will penetrate the Soul Master's body even more deeply.

This will also cause the Phoenix Evil Flame to erupt more and more frequently as its cultivation level approaches that of a Soul Saint!

Behind Ma Xiaotao, a fiery phoenix released a scorching and malevolent temperature; behind Zhang Lexuan, a silver moon was pure and elegant, releasing a cool and gentle light; and behind Xu Tianming, an imperial halberd floated, releasing an ultimate light containing a sacred and majestic aura!

In Xu Tianming's hand, a piece of luminous glass jade exuded a warm and gentle aura.

Xu Tianming originally wanted to take out the Soul Devouring Carving Blade as well, but Ma Xiaotao's evil fire hadn't been suppressed for a month. If the aura of the evil soul master in the Soul Devouring Carving Blade ignited Ma Xiaotao's evil fire phoenix, it would be very troublesome.

Therefore, Xu Tianming chose to suppress the evil nature of Ma Xiaotao's Evil Phoenix Fire first.

boom!

The three auras intertwined, with Zhang Lexuan emitting the strongest soul power aura, but the one who dominated among the three was Xu Tianming, who only had four soul rings.

Nothing was said that night, and time passed.

As the first rays of morning sunlight fell upon the three of them, they almost simultaneously awoke from their meditative state.

Ma Xiaotao pounced on Xu Tianming and hugged him tightly, rubbing against him playfully with a relaxed and comfortable smile on her face.

"That feels so good! I'm finally relieved! I've been cooped up for a whole month!"

The burning desire for pleasure is truly torturous, but once suppressed, it feels incredibly comfortable, bringing a sense of peace and well-being to both body and mind.

"Waaah... Waaah... Sister Tao... Let go of me... I'm... suffocating!"

Xu Tianming's eyes were completely blinded by the white light, and he couldn't see anything. His nose and mouth were suddenly blocked, and he could only speak intermittently.

He felt the terrifying power emanating from the 'Peerless Weapon'!

terrible!

terrible!
