Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 347 Vulcan Battles Roman Little Peach!

"唳——"

A loud and melodious phoenix cry resounded throughout the inner courtyard, and everyone's eyes involuntarily followed the source of the cry. A golden-red light obscured half the sky, and a magnificent phoenix flew out from the ancient golden tree. It spread its golden-red wings, which seemed to be engulfed in flames. Its tail feathers were long and beautiful, with golden patterns woven into a breathtaking flame emblem.

Behind the Fire Phoenix were nine spirit rings, six black and three red, signifying her status as the most revered human being: a Titled Douluo!

"Whoosh—" "Whoosh—"

Several figures flashed out from the inner courtyard and landed beside Zhu Ziyang.

"Ziyang, that is..." Xuanzi asked with surprise and excitement in his eyes. Although the identity of the fire phoenix was already very obvious, he still asked out of habit.

"Yes, it is indeed Sister Xiaotao," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. "I think Tianyuan Pavilion should consider bestowing a title upon Sister Xiaotao."

"It really is Xiao Tao!" Yan Shaozhe was extremely excited, because she was his disciple! Just thinking about how his disciple had reached the Title Douluo realm at only twenty-four years old filled Yan Shaozhe with excitement. He said, "Do we need to think about any other title for Xiao Tao? I think Phoenix Douluo is perfect!"

"That's right, that's right!" Cai Meier echoed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The elders present also expressed their opinions, feeling that the title of Phoenix Douluo was very good and suitable for Ma Xiaotao. This could be considered a title passed down through Ma Xiaotao's lineage.

As a descendant of the original Shrek Seven Devils Phoenix Fighter Ro Hongjun, Ma Xiaotao was born into the Ma family, which has always been one of the most important components of Shrek Academy. However, due to the defect of their martial soul, the Ma family has always had a weak network and a dwindling population. By Ma Xiaotao's generation, only Ma Xiaotao remained.

Compared to Ma Xiaotao's title, her somewhat astonishing spirit ring configuration was secondary, because the elders present all knew that Zhu Ziyang, Ma Xiaotao, and Jiang Nannan had received divine favor, so they naturally considered their spirit ring configuration to be a matter of course.

The fact that Zhu Ziyang and his two companions received divine favor was already subtly revealed to the elders after Zhu Ziyang returned from the Martial Soul Continent and inherited the position of Pavilion Master of Tianyuan Pavilion. The elders were naturally very excited and thrilled, marveling that they had encountered a good time and had the opportunity to witness Shrek Academy's most glorious moment, which was unprecedented.

In the eyes of the elders, the worst outcome for Shrek Academy in the future would be to have three Limit Douluos, which would already be an unprecedented peak. Moreover, judging from the talent and ability shown by Zhu Ziyang and the other two, the probability of them achieving godhood is very high. Therefore, even though Zhu Ziyang is only a young man of about twenty years old, the youngest of these old guys in Tianyuan Pavilion, who are close to a hundred years old, are still very willing to obey his commands and orders.

"唳——"

A golden-red fire phoenix swept across the sky and landed in front of Zhu Ziyang and the others. Its body quickly shrank and finally transformed into a charming and beautiful woman named Ma Xiaotao.

"Xiao Tao, congratulations!" Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier stepped forward together to congratulate Ma Xiao Tao.

"Teacher, teacher's wife!" Ma Xiaotao's pretty face lit up with joy when she saw Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier. "Hehe, how about it? Didn't I make you look good?"

"Mmm!" Yan Shaozhe nodded heavily. This was the first time he had been so happy since he came out of seclusion. His face was full of complex emotions, including excitement, joy and relief.

"Xiao Tao, have you thought about your title? The old folks here think Phoenix Douluo is the best choice. What are your own thoughts?" Elder Lin asked.

"Account banning?" Ma Xiaotao was taken aback upon hearing this. She really hadn't considered this matter. Instinctively, she looked at Zhu Ziyang, wanting him to help her make a decision. However, Zhu Ziyang smiled at her, his meaning clear: she should think about it herself. Helpless, she could only lower her head and think, "Let me think!"

"No rush, think it over slowly." The elders were very patient. They had plenty of time. Although Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao still had to go to Mingdu to participate in the competition, could such a small matter as participating in the competition be compared to such a big matter as being crowned with a title?

"Sigh! Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. Let's just call him Fire God Douluo!" Ma Xiaotao wasn't one to think things through, especially when it came to naming things. She only thought about it for thirty or forty seconds before impatiently shouting out.

"Fire God Douluo?" Upon hearing this, the elders' expressions turned strange, but they did not object. After all, the title was ultimately a personal matter. Since Ma Xiaotao was willing to be called Fire God Douluo, they naturally had no reason to object. Moreover, as someone favored by the Fire God, wasn't it reasonable for Ma Xiaotao to be given the title of Fire God?

"Hahaha, great! Vulcan, great! Vulcan Douluo!" Xuanzi laughed heartily. "First came Dragon God Douluo, now comes Vulcan Douluo! Heaven truly blesses Shrek Academy!"

Thus, the legend of Vulcan versus Roman Momo emerged.

Ma Xiaotao's coronation ceremony did not take up too much time, since the elders were all present and there was no need to waste time waiting for others. The ceremony was held on the spot, and then Yan Shaozhe personally crowned his prized disciple. After that, the elders congratulated Shrek Academy on the birth of its new titled Douluo. Finally, the birth of the Fire God Douluo was announced to the three great empires.

After the coronation ceremony, there was no time to delay. According to the previously agreed-upon plan, Elder Xuan and Ma Xiaotao would lead their respective teams to Mingdu to compete. Ma Xiaotao would be the official team leader and captain, while Zhu Ziyang would be the de facto leader. Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo would lead a team to support Zhang Lexuan and Elder Song. The two teams departed simultaneously but acted independently.

"Everyone, the fate of the mainland rests in our hands. Let's strive for it!" Zhu Ziyang said earnestly and solemnly before departing.

"Yes!" The elders were filled with excitement, as if they had returned to their youth.

After everything was over, Zhu Ziyang, Ma Xiaotao, and Elder Xuan arrived at the inner courtyard martial arts arena, where thirteen disciples, including Jiang Nannan, Qian Lingyi, and Fifth Huan'er, who were members of the main selection team and the preliminary selection team, had been waiting for a long time.

"Sister Xiaotao, you've broken through?" Upon seeing Zhu Ziyang and the other two arrive, Fifth Huan'er immediately ran to Ma Xiaotao's side, hugged Ma Xiaotao's arm, and asked with a charmingly innocent expression.

"Hmm!" Ma Xiaotao chuckled and patted Fifth Huan'er's head, saying, "Sister is now the Goddess of Fire, Roma Xiaotao! From now on, no one will dare to bully you anymore!"

"Mmm!" Fifth Huan'er happily hugged Ma Xiaotao's arm, her little nose twitching as if she had smelled something. A strange look flashed across her face, and then she glanced at Zhu Ziyang with a mixture of shyness and annoyance.

Unfortunately, Zhu Ziyang didn't see the girl's expression, otherwise he would have definitely pulled her into his arms and given her a good beating. He looked at everyone and said, "Alright, let's go!"

Without further ado, Zhu Ziyang led the way out of the academy, followed closely by Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi, and the others followed in their footsteps. Each of them had their own thoughts, but without exception, they were all related to Ma Xiaotao. They had naturally seen the unusual phenomenon when Ma Xiaotao broke through, and they all understood that the senior sister from the inner academy who had gone to the competition with them was an indisputable titled Douluo, only twenty-four years old.

Despite the more terrifying Zhu Ziyang ahead of them, Ma Xiaotao is still more likely to arouse imagination. After all, most of them are under twenty years old. It is obviously impossible to reach the title of Douluo before the age of twenty, but reaching the title of Douluo before the age of twenty-five is not such a difficult thing if you think about it simply!

In contrast, Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi's thoughts were much simpler. Jiang Nannan thought, "Damn it, Ma Xiaotao actually got her way!" Qian Lingyi thought, "Damn it, why did she get there first again? Qian Lingyi, you need to be careful!"

The Shrek Academy team left Shrek Academy and sped westward across the continent. Their destination was clear: the Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu!

Shortly after the Shrek Academy team set off, another team also departed from Shrek City. This team also consisted of about ten people, all young people around twenty years old. They were undoubtedly the Tang Sect team represented by Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and others.

Because they were nominally two teams, the Shrek Academy team and the Tang Sect team did not act simultaneously, but instead chose to act separately. After all, appearances still needed to be maintained.

However, it had already been decided beforehand that the competition would not interfere with each other, but the Tang Clan team would have to follow Zhu Ziyang's command in everything except the competition. After all, the Tang Clan members were not only disciples of the Tang Clan, but also disciples of the inner court of Shrek Academy!
