Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

Xiao Wu steadied herself, a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness flashing in her eyes, giving herself no chance to catch her breath.

Knowing that conventional grappling techniques would be useless against Ao Yin, she suddenly exerted force with her waist and her body shot up again!

She leaped into the air, her slender figure nimbly flipping in mid-air, her legs opening and closing, landing heavily towards Ao Yin's waist with a cunning and ruthless move!

"Awei's Eighteen Postures - Guanyin Sitting on a Lotus!"

"Um?"

Ao Yin's pupils contracted slightly!

Boom!

She slammed down from mid-air, using the momentum of her fall to amplify her weight and soul power, and sat directly on Ao Yin's upper body, forcibly knocking him to the ground!

A strong wind rushed towards them, and the girl's petite body was enveloped in the immense force of the dive!

Ao Yin's body trembled, and he was instantly struck.

"Hehe, you didn't expect that, did you? After being influenced by Brother Ao for so many years, Xiao Wu has also learned a move or two!"

Ao Yin swallowed hard. Even he was held back by Xiao Wu's Guanyin Lotus Position!

"Little Fatty, Rongrong, hurry!"

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and pressed down hard on Ao Yin's body, her entire weight sinking down to prevent him from breaking free.

Opportunities are fleeting!

Ning Rongrong, standing behind, narrowed her eyes and, without the slightest hesitation, raised the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda from her palm. The seven-story pagoda shone with dazzling light, its colorful rays spreading across the sky.

"The seven treasures are named: first, strength; second, speed!"

Two dazzling beams of amplification light crashed down, showering Ma Hongjun with their light.

With the amplification boost, Ma Hongjun's evil fire instantly surged several times over, the crimson flames burning fiercely, and the phoenix wings on his back suddenly unfolded, scorching heat waves surging in all directions, and the surrounding arena stone slabs were baked slightly red.

"Watch me!"

Ma Hongjun roared, unleashing his full soul power.

"Second Soul Skill - Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes!"

The raging flames condensed into a giant fire phoenix with outstretched wings. Its sharp cry tore through the air, carrying a heat wave that could burn everything, and rushed straight towards Ao Yin, who was entangled by Xiao Wu!

At the last second, Xiao Wu dodged!

The flames blinded him, and the scorching heat hit him in the face. The fire phoenix opened its huge mouth and unleashed a torrent of fiery breath that slammed down on Ao Yin!

The fiery phoenix, accompanied by blazing flames, roared in, its scorching heat almost melting the stone slabs of the arena, leaving Ao Yin with no way to escape.

Seeing that the raging flames were about to engulf him, Ao Yin's eyes sharpened, and he roared inwardly.

"Six-zhang golden body, rise!"

Buzz—!

A pale golden light suddenly burst forth from Ao Yin's body, and fine, ancient golden patterns quickly spread along his skin.

A thick, solid golden light membrane instantly expanded, transforming into a majestic protective golden armor that firmly enveloped his entire body. Although it was only six zhang tall, its imposing, mountain-like weight was overwhelming.

Boom!!

The towering phoenix flames crashed violently against the golden light shield!

A burst of crimson fire exploded, and a scorching shockwave swept across the entire arena, with sparks flying and landing on the stone slabs, leaving charred marks.

The raging flames surged and burned wildly on the surface of the golden armor, crackling and popping incessantly, the blinding firelight illuminating everyone's faces.

Yet the six-zhang-tall golden statue remained unmoved.

The raging phoenix flames, capable of consuming the heavens and earth, relentlessly eroded the outer layer of light, yet they could not breach this solid defense. Most of the flames' ferocious power was dissipated and neutralized by the golden body's layers.

Ao Yin's feet were firmly planted on the arena, the ground cracked with fine spiderweb patterns, and his body did not retreat even half a step from beginning to end.

The crimson aura brought by the Heaven-Slaying Technique was still slowly circulating beneath the golden body, with double protection layered on top of each other, firmly blocking the invasion of the raging flames from the body.

The flames gradually faded, and the intense heat slowly subsided.

Ao Yin's golden armor still shone brightly, but there were a few faint burn marks on the surface of the gold patterns.

He looked up at Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others opposite him, his tone tinged with madness:

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar's pupils shrank, their faces filled with disbelief. They had actually been blocked like that.

"Again!"

Not only that, Ao Yin became more and more excited as the battle progressed, as if the fight was giving him an internal orgasm!

"Brother Ao, we admit defeat!"

Dai Mubai was the first to admit defeat. Ao Yin was simply too fierce, especially since he had just been hit by the Poison Dragon Drill. Only he knew the feeling.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were standing to the side, were also drenched in sweat. They were not as resilient as Xiao Wu. Although Ao Yin did not use his soul power, his martial arts skills were too superb. Even they could not withstand it!

"Let us go! We surrender!"

"I'm not coming!"

"I'm not coming!"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar waved their hands repeatedly and left while leaning against the wall!

"Oh? You're giving up so quickly? I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Ao Yin raised an eyebrow slightly, but the six of them absolutely refused to be his sparring partners anymore. They said they would rather have Ao Yin use his soul power to give them a quick death than be tortured slowly.

Helpless, Ao Yin had no choice but to give up!

"Thank you for your concession."

After Ao Yin finished speaking, he turned to look at Yu Xiaogang below the stage.

Yu Xiaogang's throat was dry at that moment.

The match just now completely exceeded his expectations.

The scene was thrilling and breathtaking.

In terms of talent and combat experience, even if Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, were at this age, he probably couldn't do what Ao Yin did.

This is a prodigy, one that may only be seen once in a thousand or even ten thousand years.

Recalling Tang San's performance just now, Yu Xiaogang was immediately disappointed in him!

Coming to his senses, Yu Xiaogang quickly took out some pills and distributed them to Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun, whose soul power was almost completely depleted, to help them quickly recover their soul power.

After taking the pills, everyone's condition improved slightly.

The gaze directed at Ao Yin was filled with awe.

He single-handedly took on six opponents, completely dominating the game.

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly, and announced the result loudly.

"The winner of this arena duel is—Ao Yin!"

"You six have failed in your attempt to challenge the champion."

A group of people stood there, drenched in sweat and barely breathing.

"Brother Ao is awesome, no wonder he's a tough guy from Shrek Academy!" Ma Hongjun was not discouraged at all, but became more and more excited as the fight went on.

"Fatty, if you don't train harder, we won't even be able to catch up with him in the future." Dai Mubai joked with a wry smile, knowing full well how terrifying the gap between them was.

"Brother Ao is really amazing!" Xiao Wu leaned back in her recliner, her eyes filled with admiration.

Ning Rongrong was filled with mixed emotions.

Such talent is unmatched, even if one returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Zhu Zhuqing quietly observed Ao Yin.

Unbeknownst to them, this person had already left everyone, including Dai Mubai, far behind.

Oscar seemed quite relaxed about it.

As a support-type Soul Master, there's no need for me to fight to the death with a powerful attack-type monster.

Although they lost the competition, no one felt any resentment.

In the same team, having a strong player worth chasing is actually a good thing.

They all knew perfectly well what was going on.

Ao Yin clearly showed mercy just now.

In a real life-or-death battle, they would have fallen countless times already.

Moreover, this was without Ao Yin using his soul power and soul bones. It wasn't just "letting things slide," it was practically opening up a Grand Canal.

Everyone else was relaxed, but Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly darkened.

A wave of pressure washed over them, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Oh no, I'm going to get punished again?"

As expected, Yu Xiaogang spoke with exasperation.

"Now that we understand the gap, we should train even harder. The defeated blade must be punished."

"Everyone except Ao Yin shall hop around the academy twenty times, and are prohibited from using their soul power."

"Yes."

Dai Mubai and the others had no choice but to obediently accept their punishment.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar's faces were all scrunched up.

Having just finished a high-intensity battle, their stamina hadn't recovered, and now they were going to have to endure hellish training.

The master is indeed a devilish instructor.

Just as everyone was dejected and ready to start practicing, Ao Yin walked up to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't quite figure out what the man was planning.

Ao Yin said in a flat tone, "Wait a minute, I'm going to do frog jumps with them."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

"No way, Brother Ao! You're coming too?!"

"What does Fatty know? Brother Ao is going to stand with his brothers through thick and thin!" Oscar laughed and teased.

"Truly admirable." Dai Mubai was genuinely impressed.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both looked surprised.

"Ao Yin, you just had a big battle and didn't even take a single recovery pill. If you can't handle it, don't push yourself." Xiao Wu didn't join in the commotion; she was only worried about his health.

Ao Yin straightened his back and grinned.

"Xiao Wu, what are you saying? Don't you know whether I'm capable or not?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong couldn't help but swallow hard.

"It was you after all."

Ao Yin glanced at the people around him.

"That was just a friendly spar. If I went too far, please don't take it to heart."

These companions before me are all destined to ascend to godhood.

Building goodwill now is entirely beneficial.

In the future, if I want to expand my power, challenge the realm of gods, and roam the heavens, fighting alone will be far from enough.

Upon hearing this, the others' goodwill towards Ao Yin skyrocketed.

"That's right! We Shrek students should stand together through thick and thin!" Dai Mubai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Ao, come on, have a sausage to replenish your strength!" Oscar squeezed out his remaining soul power and handed over the recovery sausage.

Ning Rongrong pulled the coat that Ao Yin had taken off and given her tighter around herself, her ears burning slightly, and whispered her thanks, "Thank you."

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and said, "Ao Yin, one day I will surpass you!"

The atmosphere on the playground instantly became lively.

"Stop dawdling, twenty laps! Let's try to get some good food from the cafeteria tonight!"

Seven people put their hands behind their heads, lined up, and began frog jumps.

Figures rose and fell, suffering while finding joy amidst the hardship, their noise echoing throughout the training ground.

...

On the rooftop of a distant high-rise, Flander looked down at the boys and nodded gently.

"They are all promising talents; I'm really curious to see how far they can go in the future."

Yu Xiaogang, standing beside him, also had a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, the future achievements of these children are immeasurable."

His eyes sharpened as he continued.

"However, this is only the first phase of intensive training. Next, I plan to take them back to the Grand Arena and revise the graduation standards."

"The Silver Bucket Badge challenge is too easy! We need to increase the difficulty!"

Upon hearing this, Flander's lips twitched slightly. "Little Gang, after all these years, you're still as inhuman as ever!"

Boom!

At this moment, Zhao Wuji returned carrying a person, and with a thud, threw him heavily to the ground. It was Tang San, who had been sent flying by Ao Yin's staff.

Zhao Wuji looked resentful and said, "Master, I've found the person for you. Don't bother me with these kinds of troubles in the future!"
