Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 178 Round 2 of the Round-Robin Tournament

Ma Xiaotao nudged Chen Feng and then gestured for him to look at the ground.

Chen Feng looked down and, good heavens, water was dripping from the ground.

Clearly, Ma Xiaotao is unable to participate in the competition in this condition.

Ma Xiaotao smiled sweetly and charmingly, "Chen Feng, I'm skipping breakfast this morning. Let Sister Xiaotao take good care of you~"

After saying that, Ma Xiaotao smiled and pushed Chen Feng towards the bedroom. Then, with a flick of her leg, she closed the bedroom door and locked it from the inside.

Xue Diren, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. Being short, she looked at Ma Xiaotao like a broken faucet—it was utterly ridiculous…

Snow Emperor: This is the first time in 700,000 years I've been so speechless ━┳━━┳━

.....................

Today is Shrek Academy's second match in the round-robin stage of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Early in the morning, everyone from Shrek Academy except for Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao arrived at Xingluo Square.

At this time, the regular players and reserve players were resting in the luxurious rest area.

Ling Luochen sat on the luxurious sofa, drinking juice, watching Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao arrive late.

Ling Luochen knew without even guessing that it was that slut Ma Xiaotao, who was dragging Chen Feng along again…

Ling Luochen felt uncomfortable, and her face grew increasingly cold, causing those around her to consciously keep their distance from her.

At this moment, the innocent Nanmen Yun'er asked in confusion, "Why haven't the class monitor and senior Ma Xiaotao arrived yet?"

Hearing Nanmen Yun'er's question, Gongyang Mo pinched his pinky finger and said, "That brat Xiao Tao is so hot-tempered. She's probably causing trouble for Chen Feng again. Waaah, my poor Chen Feng, boohoo."

Upon hearing Gongyang Mo's words, the female trainees either looked unpleasant or blushed with embarrassment.

The male trainees wore lewd smiles.

Yao Haoxuan's eyes narrowed into slits as he laughed. "I wonder if Chen Feng can withstand Ma Xiaotao's torment. I know about the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, hehehe..."

Upon hearing Yao Haoxuan's words, Dai Yueheng nodded in agreement.

Wang Dong snorted in annoyance, "In broad daylight, you... you really have no shame."

Beibei looked at Wang Dong and said with a smile, "Junior Wang Dong, this doesn't sound like something a man would say."

Wang Dong was so startled by Bei Bei's unintentional remark that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "How am I not like a man!"

While everyone was chatting in the rest area.

At this moment, Wang Yan, the teacher in charge of the team, asked in confusion, "That's strange, why haven't Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao arrived yet? The competition is about to start."

Wang Yan was quite anxious because Shrek Academy's opponent today was very strong.

He was one of the top eight finalists in the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, from Zheng Tian Academy.

If Zheng Tian Academy hadn't encountered Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the semifinals last year, they might have even had a chance to go further.

This year's Zhengtian Academy team is also extremely strong, with three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters, second only to Shrek Academy and the royal academies of the other four empires.

Therefore, in this competition, the regular players like Chen Feng cannot slack off. The reserve team is definitely no match for them, so only the regular players like Chen Feng can compete.

Just as Wang Yan was about to send someone to urge them on, Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao arrived.

Ma Xiaotao might get carried away, but Chen Feng will definitely remind her when the time comes.

Chen Feng's timing was impeccable, so there was no chance of him being late.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao and Chen Feng arrive, Wang Yan couldn't help but say, "Chen Feng, Ma Xiaotao, why are you two so late? The competition is almost over..."

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's pretty face was flushed pink, obviously she had just finished feeling comfortable, and the blush on her face had not yet faded.

Ma Xiaotao naturally ignored Wang Yan's words and directly pulled Chen Feng, the two of them walking towards the rest area.

Wang Yan: ...Am I, the teacher in charge of the team, really that shameful?

In the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao walked over.

The man gave a lewd smile, and the woman blushed or looked cold.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's rosy face and the intense desire in her eyes, Ling Luochen knew that things were indeed as she had expected. That rascal Ma Xiaotao was already so thirsty so early in the morning.

At this moment, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire and his civil and military officials arrived at the city wall and nodded at the seven regular team members in the Shrek Academy rest area on the west side of the city wall.

Xu Jiawei said happily, "All seven regular members of Shrek Academy have come this time. It seems that we will be able to see the strength of Shrek Academy's regular members again."

I remember Zhengtian Academy is quite strong. Someone, please give me some information about Zhengtian Academy.

As soon as His Majesty spoke, the minister in charge of intelligence stepped forward. "Your Majesty, Zhengtian Academy is a long-established Soul Master Academy in the Tianhun Empire, with considerable strength. The captain's name is Ye Wuqing, nineteen years old. His Martial Soul is Golden Leaf, a level 58 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Master, and his strength is extremely formidable."

If he weren't only nineteen years old this year instead of twenty, he would very likely have broken through level sixty and become the first Soul Emperor in the history of Zheng Tian Advanced Soul Master Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament.

Besides these, there are two Soul King students. One is a female student named Yu Mengdi, whose martial soul is Angel.

There was a man named Tang Xiaolei. His martial soul was the Purple Blossom Bow. He used his own soul rings as arrows. Once he fired five arrows, his soul power would be completely exhausted, but this also made his attack power extremely powerful…”

After hearing this, Xu Jiawei became quite interested in Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi. The former might break through to level 60 before the age of 20, while the latter possessed the powerful martial soul of Angel.

You should know that if you break through to Soul Emperor before the age of twenty, as long as it's not achieved through drugs but through your own hard work, then breaking through to Title Douluo in the future is almost a certainty.

Xu Jiawei said, "It's really rare to find such talent in Zhengtian Academy. If possible, we should try to win them over. If we can poach them from the Tianhun Empire, that would be a wonderful thing."

Upon hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, all the civil and military officials present smiled.

After listening to the information from Zhengtian Academy, Xu Jiawei nodded and then waved his hand.

When the Minister of Intelligence saw that His Majesty the Emperor did not want to listen anymore, he bowed and withdrew.

At this moment, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy once again came to the spectator stands not far away, undoubtedly there to gather intelligence on Shrek Academy.

Meng Hongchen was holding a telescopic soul tool and looking at Chen Feng, who was lying on the sofa in the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy. She was practically drooling.

Slurping, Meng Hongchen blushed, staring at Chen Feng's charmingly handsome face. She squeezed her legs together and couldn't help but whisper, "Oh my god~ He's so handsome, I can't take it~ How can someone be so good-looking~"

Xiao Hongchen, who was observing Zhengtian Academy with a telescope next to Meng Hongchen, was speechless when he heard his younger sister gushing over a crush.

"Dream, is it really necessary? Chen Feng is handsome, but you don't have to scream all the time. You need to be a little more..." Then Xiao Hongchen moved the telescope soul tool towards the Shrek Academy rest area, and then Xiao Hongchen was speechless.

After a short while, Xiao Hongchen retorted defiantly, "He's nothing special, just a tiny bit more handsome than me."

Dreaming of the Mortal World: Pshaw! (￢_￢)

.........

Soon, the referee announced through the loudspeaker, "Round 2 of the round-robin tournament. First match: Shrek Academy team and Zheng Tian Academy team, please proceed to the stage. Both teams, please quickly enter the waiting area. The captains of both teams, please come up to the stage and draw the match format."

Having heard the referee's words, the participating teams from Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Academy headed towards the waiting area.

Shrek Academy's captain, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhengtian Academy's captain, Ye Wuqing, walked towards the stage.

Zhengtian Academy is a long-established academy in the Tianhun Empire, having produced many talented individuals. Among the three major empires of the Douluo Continent, the Tianhun Empire is the one that most adheres to the tradition of Soul Masters and rejects Soul Master instructors.

Even the Soul Master Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire only trains Soul Masters, not Soul Instructors, and doesn't even have a Soul Instructor Department.

Zhengtian Academy, as a high-level soul master academy of the Tianhun Empire, is such a traditional soul master academy.

Ye Wuqing, the captain of Zhengtian Academy, is handsome. Although he is not as good-looking as Chen Feng, he is still quite dignified. However, unfortunately, just like his name, he is expressionless and obviously quite indifferent.

When Ye Wuqing looked at Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Saint, his eyes were like sharp knives, as if he wanted to find out Ma Xiaotao's flaws.

Ma Xiaotao smiled disdainfully, "Little Soul King, you're quite arrogant." Immediately, she unleashed her soul power, and the aura of a top-tier Beast Martial Soul Saint directly forced Ye Wuqing to retreat several steps.

This terrifying soul power caused Ye Wuqing's expression to change drastically, becoming serious.

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was trying to intimidate others with her aura, the referee quickly shouted, "The captain of Shrek Academy is not allowed to make a move before the match!"

Ma Xiaotao glanced at the Soul Saint referee, then at Ye Wuqing, and said arrogantly, "Little Soul King, who gave you the courage to act tough in front of a Soul Saint?"

The referee almost burst out laughing, then coughed twice and said, "The draw begins. Both sides are invited to witness this."

Although the opponents for the competition have already been determined, the format of the competition will be determined by drawing lots on-site.

Soon, a small ball representing a seven-player team battle rolled out of the box.

The referee announced loudly, "Shrek Academy vs. Zhengtian Academy, a seven-on-seven team battle has been drawn. Both captains may now step down from the stage."

Ma Xiaotao's figure flashed and disappeared from the stage. Her speed was so fast that even the Soul Saint-level referee broke out in a sweat.

Clearly, he did not believe that his strength was comparable to that of Ma Xiaotao, the Soul Saint Captain of Shrek Academy.

The referee thought to himself, "What a monster! It's so frustrating to compare myself to others. I've lived such a long life, what a waste!"

The team leader, Wang Yan, said to Chen Feng and his group of seven, "I am not familiar with you, so I will not give you any tactical instructions. I have faith in your abilities."

Ma Xiaotao: ...

Chen Feng: ...

Dai Yueheng: ...

Clearly, Wang Yan didn't need to believe it; the shouts from the audience in the stands had already proven everything. "Shrek Academy will win! Shrek Academy will win!! Shrek Academy will win!!!"

At that moment, the referee's voice rang out again.

"Please bring both teams onto the field."

In the waiting area, Chen Feng, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Xixi, Gongyang Mo, Dai Yueheng, and Yao Haoxuan walked towards the stage.

Wang Yan and the reserve team members watched the game from the waiting area.

Chen Feng and his seven companions walked onto the competition stage, with each side occupying one side.

Of the seven students from Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao stood at the very front, with Chen Feng and Dai Yueheng on either side of her. Following them were Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan, the control-type Soul Masters, and Gongyang Mo, the support-type Soul Master, standing at the very back.

After they took the stage, the cheers from the hundreds of thousands of spectators became even more enthusiastic, because Shrek Academy's powerful regular members were once again making their appearance.

Last time, Shrek Academy only sent its reserve team, which greatly disappointed the audience. So, seeing the regular team this time was naturally very exciting.

On the other side of Zhengtian Academy, standing at the forefront was Ye Wuqing, a level 58 offensive-type Soul King.

Behind Ye Wuqing was Yu Mengdi, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and whose martial soul was that of an angel.

Along with two tall and imposing young men, Blood Wolf, a power-attack type battle soul master, and Yang Yifan, a speed-attack type soul master.

Behind the three of them were Yan'er and Tang Xiaolei. Yan'er had the same fiery red long hair as Ma Xiaotao. Although she was not as pretty as Ma Xiaotao, she could still be considered a beauty, especially with her rather voluptuous figure.

Tang Xiaolei was tall and upright, but not particularly muscular. However, his eyes were exceptionally bright, with a faint purple light shimmering deep within them.

Standing at the very back was Shangguan Can, a support/control type Soul Master. He was not tall, rather ugly, with sparse hair, a flat nose, small eyes, and thick lips.

Both Yu Mengdi and Tang Xiaolei are beginner-level Soul Kings, but their strength is still considerable.

As for the other Soul Sect members, they were simply not taken seriously by Chen Feng and his group of seven.

At that moment, the referee shouted, "The match begins!"

The players from both sides released their martial spirits almost simultaneously.

The most eye-catching moment at Zhengtian Academy was when Yu Mengdi released her martial soul; a pair of pure white wings, radiating intense golden light, unfurled from her back.

She was bathed in soft golden light, and her sacred aura inspired a desire to worship her.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings—five perfectly matched soul rings—rose and circled around her.

Yu Mengdi's martial soul is an angel. Although she is currently only a two-winged angel, it is still a very powerful martial soul.

If her cultivation level reaches the seventh ring, then her two wings will become four wings, and when she becomes a ninth-ring titled Douluo, she will have six wings.

With each additional pair of wings, the martial soul itself undergoes a significant evolution, making it arguably the most top-tier martial soul.

Looking at the seven people from Zhengtian Academy, Ma Xiaotao activated her Martial Soul, letting out a loud phoenix cry that resounded through the sky, and then her phoenix wings spread out behind her.

With dazzling, enormous fiery wings and a phoenix tail flapping behind her, Ma Xiaotao sped towards Zhengtian Academy.

I'm begging for monthly votes by acting cute and rolling around on my back (uu)
