Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 138 Yan Shaozhe: This lineup is a sure thing (8k views)

Thinking this, Xixi couldn't help but glance at Chen Feng beside her. He was handsome, incredibly strong, and so young. Xixi thought to herself, "Okay, if it were Chen Feng who got robbed, I can understand him striving harder..."

Chen Feng: What "striving for excellence"? That's all the result of my hard work instilling it in you... Without my hard work instilling it in you, Ling Luochen would probably still be at level 55.

After more than half a year of painstaking infusion, most of the ice-attribute essence that Chen Feng obtained from the 50,000-year-old Ice Wolf King's torso bone was infused into Ling Luochen's body.

Ling Luochen's martial soul is now much, much more powerful than before.

Just when everyone thought Ma Xiaotao was going to cause trouble for Ling Luochen.

Ma Xiaotao looked at Ling Luochen and completely ignored her.

Ma Xiaotao turned her gaze to the unremarkable Li Ming.

Li Ming also cultivates the Soul Guidance System. The reason he cultivates the Soul Guidance System is because his Martial Soul is not strong enough. It is only a high-level Martial Soul. Compared with the geniuses around him who all have top-level Martial Souls, Li Ming is naturally weak.

Therefore, in order to make up for his own shortcomings, Li Ming chose to embrace the Soul Guidance System and created his own unique Soul Guidance combat tactics.

Ma Xiaotao's voice rang out, "Li Ming, it's you!"

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Ling Luochen felt relieved. Despite her cold and arrogant demeanor, if you really let Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao go head-to-head, she would back down too.

However, Ling Luochen breathed a sigh of relief, while for Li Ming, who had been singled out by Ma Xiaotao, it was a bolt from the blue.

Li Ming: Why me? I haven't offended Ma Xiaotao, have I?

Ma Xiaotao looked at Li Ming and said fiercely, "Li Ming, I'm talking to you. Stop dawdling and hurry up, or just admit defeat and don't waste my time."

Li Ming's face turned pale and then red. Although he knew he was no match for Ma Xiaotao, he was still unwilling to give up representing Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Li Ming said, "Although I know I am no match for you, Ma Xiaotao, I still want to fight you."

After saying that, Li Ming, full of fighting spirit, went to the center of the training ground.

Ma Xiaotao smiled disdainfully, her phoenix wings unfurled behind her, and her magnificent, enormous fiery wings and phoenix tail flapped behind her. With a whoosh, she arrived at the other side of the martial arts arena.

Li Ming's martial soul was activated. An earthen-yellow shield appeared in Li Ming's hand, and five spirit rings of the optimal ratio—two yellow, two purple, and one black—rose up on his body.

Li Ming's martial soul is called Earth Shield. Although its defensive power is not bad and it also has the earth attribute, neither its defensive power nor its earth attribute is strong enough.

Take Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Shield, for example. It's not only incredibly strong defensively, but its water-attribute power is also astonishing, and it even possesses spatial attributes, such as Xu Sanshi's fourth soul skill, Spatial Displacement. This skill is divine, possessing unparalleled advantages in controlling the battlefield.

Compared to this, Li Ming's Earth Shield is practically useless.

Therefore, Li Ming's martial soul can only be rated as a high-level martial soul, and it is still far from being a top-level martial soul.

This is why Yan Shaozhe replaced Li Ming. It's because Li Ming simply wasn't strong enough. Moreover, Li Ming was from the Soul Guidance Department, so Yan Shaozhe naturally wouldn't give Qian Duoduo any face. (As mentioned in the original novel, one of the Shrek Seven Devils was a Soul Guidance Department student, but Ma Xiaotao directly eliminated him.)

At Shrek Academy, the Martial Soul Department has always been dominant, while the Soul Guidance Department has no status whatsoever.

As Yan Shaozhe's disciple, Ma Xiaotao has always looked down on the Soul Guidance Department.

Ma Xiaotao said to Li Ming, "Li Ming, you should make a move. If you don't, you won't have a chance to make a move."

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, everyone in the inner courtyard of the martial arts arena, except for Chen Feng, felt that Ma Xiaotao was too arrogant. She actually said to Li Ming that if he didn't make a move, he wouldn't have a chance to make a move.

No matter what, Li Ming is an outstanding student of the inner academy and has the ability to win easily. In terms of strength, few people present can guarantee that they can win easily.

Ma Xiaotao's words sounded to everyone as if she were saying, "You are all trash, and I can easily defeat you."

Ling Luochen cursed inwardly, "That damned Ma Xiaotao is so arrogant, conceited and vulgar. Apart from having a better figure and more talent than me... how can you compare to me?"

Chen Feng actually found Ma Xiaotao quite cute; after all, to be honest, how could she be called arrogant?

The onlookers were getting angry, and those who were directing the discussion about Ma Xiaotao were even more indignant.

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Li Ming was immediately enraged, and his five spirit rings flashed one after another.

Then, the Earth Shield in Li Ming's hand underwent a huge change. The shield, which was originally less than a meter long, instantly grew to the height of a person and became thicker, with earth-attribute soul power accumulating on the shield.

Li Ming placed the tall, thick, earthen-yellow shield in front of him, then hid behind it and pulled out a number of soul tools.

This is Li Ming's fighting method: the fortress turret tactic. He uses his martial soul, the Earth Shield, to protect himself, then hides behind the shield and attacks the enemy with his soul tool.

At this moment, Li Ming was like a steel hedgehog, with dozens of metal tubes appearing from different parts of his body like hedgehog quills.

Two of the massive metal cannons, each as thick as a thigh, exuded a chilling aura of destruction.

In terms of attack power, Soul Masters are always stronger than Soul Masters of the same level before Soul Saints. However, this strength is subject to a prerequisite: the Soul Master cannot be the owner of a top-tier Martial Soul.

Furthermore, Li Ming is a Soul Master at Shrek Academy, and the power of his Soul Tool is significantly weaker than that used by Soul Masters of the same level at the neighboring Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. This is a major disadvantage.

However, as a top student in Shrek Academy's inner court, Li Ming possessed abundant soul power and a stronger physical capacity. Therefore, Li Ming relied on sheer numbers, equipping himself with a large number of soul tools.

Therefore, Li Ming's strength is quite formidable to be a member of Shrek Academy's reserve team.

Unfortunately, he was facing Ma Xiaotao, a top-tier Soul Emperor at level 69, close to level 70, who possessed the top-tier beast martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix.

So no matter how much Li Ming struggled, it was all in vain.

Li Ming didn't intend to win against Ma Xiaotao; he just wanted to prove the Soul Guidance Department.

Li Ming went all out, his soul tools shining brightly all over his body. Ignoring the consumption of his soul power, he bombarded Ma Xiaotao relentlessly...

At least forty beams of light shot out.

The surge of soul power that erupted in that instant was truly astonishing.

Faced with Li Ming's overwhelming concentrated attack, two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, flashed on Ma Xiaotao's body; these were Ma Xiaotao's second and third spirit skills.

The second soul skill, Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes, enhances all of the phoenix's attributes and increases the flight speed of the third soul skill. The third soul skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring Through the Sky, grants the ability to fly, while also increasing the flame temperature by 100% and the attack range by 50%.

With the support of her second and third soul skills, Ma Xiaotao was bathed in flames, and the terrifying pressure she felt was unmatched even by ordinary Soul Saint experts.

At this moment, the many inner court disciples who were watching the spectacle from the edge of the martial arts arena stared wide-eyed at the incredibly powerful and arrogant Ma Xiaotao. Good heavens, Ma Xiaotao is just too strong!!!

Ling Luochen watched as Ma Xiaotao basked in the spotlight, strutting around, feeling a pang of jealousy, as if he'd eaten ten lemons.

Yan Shaozhe, watching from the air, felt very gratified as he stroked his beard with delight, seeing his disciple Ma Xiaotao's significant improvement in strength.

With the enhancement of two soul skills, Ma Xiaotao now resembled a goddess of fire, spreading her phoenix wings and looking down arrogantly at Li Ming.

Immediately afterward, Ma Xiaotao's fifth spirit ring shone brightly, unleashing Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike!

The immense power caused the air to instantly distort due to the intense heat, and a dark red flame in the shape of a phoenix surged toward Li Ming.

With the enhancement of her second and third soul skills, Ma Xiaotao's fifth soul skill, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike, was so powerful that even Soul Emperors would find it difficult to withstand. Using it against Li Ming, a Soul King, was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The fire phoenix let out a loud cry and collided with the overwhelming soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons released by Li Ming.

Wherever the fire phoenix passed, everything was annihilated; all the soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons were reduced to nothing by Ma Xiaotao's terrifying phoenix flames.

The aura of the fire phoenix was truly terrifying. After annihilating Li Ming's attack, it quickly rushed towards Li Ming.

The scorching temperature baked Li Ming until his mouth was parched and it felt as if all the moisture in his body was being dried out.

Li Ming knew that if he were to be hit by this fire phoenix, he would definitely die.

At this point, the referee also determined that Li Ming was absolutely unstoppable.

So he went directly to Li Ming and moved him to the edge of the training ground.

With a deafening roar, the blazing fire phoenix directly struck the thick, uncarved granite slabs of the training ground.

The fiery phoenix was incredibly powerful, turning the granite ground into a pool of molten lava.

Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!!

At this moment, the onlookers swallowed hard, especially Li Ming, who had just faced Ma Xiaotao's fifth soul skill, who was so frightened that he collapsed.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's terrifying soul skill, Ling Luochen immediately cowered. Ma Xiaotao was terrifying beyond belief! He could only outsmart her, not brute force!

As the only Soul Emperor besides Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at the lava, clearly shocked by Ma Xiaotao's terrifying strength.

Ma Xiaotao's best friend, Gongyang Mo, immediately moved three meters away from Chen Feng, afraid that Ma Xiaotao would misunderstand.

Gongyang Mo: Waaah, Chen Feng, let's stay away from each other. I don't want Xiao Tao to misunderstand. I want to live a few more years.

(-----___-----)

Except for Chen Feng, all the inner court students present were stunned by Ma Xiaotao's fifth soul skill, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike.

At this moment, Li Ming recovered from his limp state and roared at Ma Xiaotao, "Ma Xiaotao, are you going to kill me? Teacher, Ma Xiaotao has gone too far. It was just a sparring match, and she used such a powerful soul skill."

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao in the sky scoffed, "Can't your bombardment kill people? If you're weak, shut up! What do you, a useless soul guide, know about controlling soul skills? Besides, with so many Soul Douluo-level teachers here, what are you afraid of! Coward!!"

Ma Xiaotao's sharp words left Li Ming speechless.

Having easily won, Ma Xiaotao flew from the air towards Chen Feng, who opened his arms and caught her.

DuangDuang, a wave descended from the sky, carrying a powerful impact that made Chen Feng feel an amazing elasticity, while at the same time a slight tearing sound rang out.

Chen Feng chuckled and whispered in Ma Xiaotao's ear, "Sister Xiaotao, don't rush next time, you've ruined your underwear..."

Ma Xiaotao blushed, and Chen Feng put her down. Then the two of them stood arm in arm.

Yan Shaozhe announced loudly, "Xiao Tao wins! Li Ming, you're eliminated."

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Li Ming's eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down his face.

Being unable to represent Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Student Battle Tournament was clearly a major blow to Li Ming.

Li Ming ran away crying, intending to go and complain to the deans of the Soul Guidance Department (Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er).

Yan Shaozhe didn't bother to appease the students of the Soul Guidance Department; that was Qian Duoduo's job, not his.

Yan Shaozhe was absolutely dedicated to the Martial Soul Department, but he lacked a certain magnanimity, which made him...

This is also why Mu En has always been dissatisfied with Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe continued, "The competition continues, next one."

Soon, the remaining five students who had passed the preliminary rounds all completed their challenges. Except for Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao, all the others were eliminated by the previous year's reserve team members of Shrek Academy.

The five students in the preliminary rounds all had lower soul power than the reserve team members, and they also did not have an advantage in martial soul.

Therefore, it was only natural that they were defeated by Dai Yueheng and others.

With this, the selection of the representative for Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has been officially confirmed.

They are Ma Xiaotao, Chen Feng's girlfriend, and a level 69 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Emperor.

Dai Yueheng, a level 64 offensive-type Battle Soul Emperor.

Xi Xi, a level 56 agility-based battle spirit king.

Chen Feng's second girlfriend, Ling Luochen, is a level 59 control-type battle spirit king.

Yao Haoxuan, level 55, a control/support type Battle Soul King.

Gongyang Mo, Ma Xiaotao's good "sister", is a level 59 support-type Soul King.

These six people are Chen Feng's teammates. Chen Feng will represent Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Yan Shaozhe, watching from the air, was overjoyed to see the seven Shrek Academy members officially confirmed.

Looking at Chen Feng and his group of seven, Yan Shaozhe felt that winning the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was a sure thing; the championship was practically guaranteed!

If anything goes wrong, he'll just stand upside down and poop!
