I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Jiang Nannan noticed that the atmosphere between Xu Xingyu and Ma Xiaotao had become somewhat tense. Since both of them were very important to her—the former being a friend and the latter a lover—she didn't want any conflict between them.

Of course, if an irreconcilable conflict arises, Jiang Nannan will still choose to stand by her lover Xu Xingyu and break off her friendship with Ma Xiaotao.

However, Jiang Nannan felt that the conflict hadn't reached that point yet. She thought that if the two sides talked calmly and rationally, they would both calm down.

To quickly ease the awkward atmosphere between the two, Jiang Nannan hurriedly asked, "Since you've successfully mastered the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, your Martial Soul has also successfully mutated, right? Under these circumstances, wouldn't it be inappropriate to still call it the Evil Fire Phoenix?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao fell into deep thought and said, "Indeed, you're right, calling it the Evil Fire Phoenix under these circumstances feels somewhat incongruous. So what should I call my new martial soul? Twin Flame Heavenly Phoenix?"

"It looks a bit rustic, it could be better." Jiang Nannan hesitated before saying, "Yin Yang Fire Phoenix? No, it still doesn't feel quite right."

Just as the two couldn't think of a better name, Xu Xingyu suddenly spoke up: "We could call it Eclipse Phoenix."

Yes, the lazy Xu Xingyu, seeing that Ma Xiaotao's situation resembled that of a Vermilion Bird descendant from the Five Elements Continent, directly had Ma Xiaotao use that person's name.

Anyway, pretending to be a name is quite common among soul beasts, so it's not a particularly big deal.

However, unaware of the truth, Ma Xiaotao thought the name was excellent and exclaimed, "Hey, this name is great, I like it!"

Ma Xiaotao happily declared, "From this day forward, I am no longer the Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Xiaotao! I am the Eclipse Phoenix Ma Xiaotao!"

However, just as Ma Xiaotao was feeling happy, Xu Xingyu's untimely voice chimed in, "Let's talk about this after your evil fire is completely cleared away."

This felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over Ma Xiaotao, who had just started to feel much better, and she was instantly filled with depression again.

Ma Xiaotao gave Xu Xingyu, who had poured cold water on her enthusiasm, a deadpan look on her face, and thought to herself, "How come I didn't realize this kid was so good with words when we met last time!"

But she ultimately didn't argue with Xu Xingyu. Although Xu Xingyu eventually forgave her for what she had done, it was still her fault, so it was normal for the other party to be slightly unhappy with her.

If it were someone else, they might sever all ties with you and leave you to figure out how to deal with your anger.

Therefore, Ma Xiaotao tolerated Xu Xingyu's dissatisfaction with her, after all, it would be a pipe dream for her to suppress her evil desires without the other party.

Of course, part of the reason was that she learned about Xu Xingyu's abnormal strength from her teacher. Although she had lost her mind at that time, Xu Xingyu was still able to beat her up in that situation.

This shows that although Xu Xingyu's apparent strength is only that of a Soul Master, his actual strength is likely close to or even surpasses that of Ma Xiaotao herself.

Once such a talent is cultivated, he will surely be a candidate for the head of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy!

Thinking of his teacher, Ma Xiaotao, he immediately remembered that he had apparently been secretly working on the Yin-Yang Twin Fires without her knowledge.

This made Ma Xiaotao, who was already feeling somewhat melancholy, even more depressed.

All she can do now is try her best to hide it and come up with an excuse to use if the teacher finds out.

After giving Ma Xiaotao further instructions, the two left. Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan, whose rare date had been disturbed, could only return to their own dormitories after escorting each other back to theirs, and then make an appointment for their next date.

Back in the dormitory, Xu Xingyu was naturally questioned by Wang Dong'er. Although Wang Dong'er already knew about this, she still wanted to confirm that Jiang Nannan had not done anything sneaky.

After confirming that the two had not done anything rash, Wang Dong'er was relieved, and the two began to prepare for tomorrow.

The next day, after completing the training plan for Wang Dong'er, the two went to their respective classes, but today's classes were different from the usual physical education and theory classes.

Today, each student was informed by their respective homeroom teacher that the freshman assessment was coming soon, and each student was assigned to a team of three.

After explaining the rules of the freshman assessment, the class teacher asked each student to write down their future direction as a Soul Master, because this would affect the class assignments after the freshman assessment.

After collecting information on each student's future Soul Master aspirations, they began to form teams.

Xu Xingyu was assigned to a team with Xu Yanxue and a boy named Jiang Haoyue.

Since Xu Xingyu, as the class monitor of Class 9, only does the bare minimum of work, he doesn't really know Jiang Haoyue.

But since they are your teammates, it's best to learn as much as possible about them.

After class today, Xu Xingyu, Xu Yanxue, and Jiang Haoyue arranged a time to practice for the upcoming freshman assessment.

To be honest, Xu Xingyu didn't take the freshman assessment seriously, because his combat power was comparable to that of the senior students from the inner academy.

Xu Xingyu is still in the outer courtyard simply because Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue have not yet been eligible to apply for early entry into the inner courtyard.

Therefore, in order to spend more time with them, Xu Xingyu chose to stay in the outer courtyard and spend her peaceful days.

Speaking of Wang Dong'er, Xu Xingyu learned from her soul communication device that Wang Dong'er had been assigned to the same team as in the original story by Zhou Yi.

This fact made Wang Dong'er very depressed. The girl named Xiao Xiao was fine; she was strong in combat and had a kind and understanding personality. But she really couldn't get along with her other teammate, Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong'er was already dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao for ignoring Xu Xingyu's help.

As a result, the first thing he did after becoming teammates was to ask for the qualification to be the team leader!

How could Wang Dong'er possibly stand this!

Indeed, Wang Dong'er admitted that Huo Yuhao's mental detection soul skill was a divine skill, but it was impossible to expect Wang Dong'er to obey Huo Yuhao based on that alone!

The only man Wang Dong'er would obey in her life was Xu Xingyu; all other men, unless they were family or teachers, would stay away!

So, in order to completely resolve the issue of having only one voice in their team, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er challenged each other to a duel after class, with the winner becoming the captain.

Coincidentally, the time Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao agreed to fight was exactly the same time that Xu Xingyu and her team were practicing for the freshman assessment.

Therefore, he couldn't find the time to personally watch how his fiancée's match would turn out.

However, this didn't stop him from using the information he had gathered from the original story to give Wang Dong'er an informational advantage in advance, allowing her to gain the upper hand.

It should be noted that since Huo Yuhao became a student at Shrek Academy, he has devoted most of his attention to cultivation. Basically, the first thing he does after class every day is to cultivate.

Although this resulted in Huo Yuhao not being very popular in the class, his cultivation level also increased from level 15 when he entered the school to level 20.

Huo Yuhao is now only one spirit ring away from officially becoming a Great Spirit Master.

Considering that Huo Yuhao's current physique doesn't match the original novel's powerful physique, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but worry about Wang Dong'er.

After all, Xu Xingyu knew how proud Wang Dong'er was. Perhaps she wouldn't show her arrogance too much in front of her, but the arrogance in her heart belonged to no one.

Therefore, it is entirely possible that Wang Dong'er underestimated Huo Yuhao during the battle, and was then defeated by him.

So before Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao fought, Xu Xingyu sent her a message telling her to put aside her arrogance and fight Huo Yuhao with all her might.

After sending the message, Xu Xingyu began practicing with her team for the upcoming freshman assessment.
