Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

"As expected, when it comes to one-on-one combat, Ling Luochen is no match for Ma Xiaotao."

Ma Xiaotao is not only of a higher level than Ling Luochen, but she is also a powerful attack-type Soul Master. In addition, unlike in the original work, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire was not suppressed by Huo Gua.

Therefore, Ma Xiaotao's erosion by the evil fire deepened significantly, and her strength also increased.

The main reason why Ma Xiaotao could not become the ultimate flame was that her martial soul was not pure enough.

However, Ma Xiaotao doesn't actually need to pursue the ultimate fire. As long as she's corrupted by the evil fire to a certain degree, her martial soul can move to another extreme. Combined with the Sword of Judgment, she'll become a Black Phoenix, and then she can join the Holy Spirit Cult and become a Holy Maiden.

Huo Yuhao used his simulation soul skill to simulate the surrounding environment, and at this moment he was in a "stealth state", so Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao present did not notice his figure.

He was just underground in the Sea God Pavilion when he heard some noises outside.

He chose to leave the Sea God Pavilion to see what was happening outside, and then he saw Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao fighting.

"Hmm, I should give Ma Xiaotao a hand, since she is Ma Hongjun's descendant. I can make some arrangements with Ma Xiaotao, and maybe even sow discord among the Seven Devils. The Seven Devils are basically Tang San's core group. These guys followed Tang San from Douluo Continent to the God Realm, and they are basically Tang San's most loyal henchmen."

If they succeed in sowing discord, Tang San will definitely suffer a lot.

According to the original novel, Ma Hongjun is a man who misses his wife in the legends of the gods. Such a person would probably occasionally pay attention to his descendants.

In the novel, Ma Hongjun has a descendant named Ma Xiaotao, which means that Bai Chenxiang must have been pregnant with Ma Hongjun's child.

Even so, Tang San didn't manage to get a single piece of Bai Chenxiang, which is truly outrageous.

Although, according to the original setting, there is a limit to the number of people in the Upper God Realm.

But Tang San is a God King, after all. Rong Nianbing is weaker than Tang San, only a first-level god, yet he managed to get so many people up there. There's no reason why Tang San couldn't do the same.

With that thought in mind, Huo Yuhao put on a mask, then revealed himself and walked out.

Perhaps because she didn't come into contact with the Sword of Judgment, Ma Xiaotao didn't become the Black Phoenix and then get targeted by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Therefore, Ma Xiaotao is still in Shrek Academy and has not become a Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Ling Luochen's face lit up with joy when he saw someone approaching.

But when she saw Huo Yuhao's figure and attire, her expression immediately darkened, because in her memory, there was no such person among the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

So, the other party is a student from the inner courtyard?

Ling Luochen immediately asked for help: "You're wearing a mask, so I don't know which student you are from the inner courtyard."

However, you should know Ma Xiaotao. She's in trouble now, and I hope you can help me. Once Ma Xiaotao leaves here, the students from the outer courtyard might be attacked by her.

"I'm not an inner court student," Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"Not an inner court student?" Ling Luochen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, I come from the Soul Palace. You can call me Xiao Yan." Huo Yuhao directly chose to put on a disguise, which was an essential prelude to fooling people later. As for Ma Xiaotao, she was actually easy for Huo Yuhao to deal with.

The Soul Palace? Xiao Yan?

What's going on?

Ling Luochen was a little confused. The Soul Palace sounded like an organization, but did such an organization exist on the Douluo Continent?

Will they win in Chapter 198? Yes, they will!

Ling Luochen thought back for a moment and realized that this was probably the first time he had ever heard the term "Soul Palace".

So, is this masked man actually an outsider who infiltrated Shrek Academy?

Poseidon Pavilion is a key location within Shrek Academy, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to infiltrate it.

The academy is full of powerful individuals; once an infiltrator is discovered, it means facing an attack from many strong opponents.

The man in front of me who calls himself "Xiao Yan" must be very strong, otherwise, wouldn't it be suicide for him to infiltrate Shrek Academy?

At this moment, a roar like that of a wild beast came from behind Huo Yuhao. Ling Luochen watched helplessly as Ma Xiaotao, who had lost her mind, flew into the air again.

Flames enveloped Ma Xiaotao, making her appear incredibly powerful.

Ma Xiaotao has long since lost her human reason, and no one knows when she will launch another attack.

Ling Luochen immediately pleaded for help: "Senior Xiao, Xiao Tao is Dean Yan's student. If you can suppress Xiao Tao and prevent her from running around, Dean Yan will definitely thank you for your help."

Upon hearing this, five spirit rings immediately appeared beneath Huo Yuhao's feet. Because he had used a simulation spirit skill, these five spirit rings appeared to be in a normal ratio: two yellow, two purple, and one black.

He was quite interested in Yan Shaozhe because, in the original novel, Yan Shaozhe had stated that "the genius Huo Yuhao might be an undercover agent sent by the enemy."

This statement is truly outrageous. Who would send a young genius to Shrek Academy as an undercover agent? If the genius were caught, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Even in the original novel's exchange student program, Shrek Academy didn't initially send Huo Gua as an undercover agent. They only had him learn about soul tools there. After all, sending a genius as an undercover agent was too risky; a slight mishap could result in the loss of a genius.

Of course, this also proves from another angle that Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, experiences intermittent intellectual decline.

Huo Yuhao planned to tell Yan Shaozhe about his background later, and then see if he could stir up trouble and profit from it.

After all, given Yan Shaozhe's absurdly high IQ and personality, he is very likely to take a series of actions after learning about his background.

At this moment, Ling Luochen stared blankly at Huo Yuhao's five spirit rings. She thought to herself that with only five spirit rings, he was undoubtedly a Spirit King.

However, for a Soul King, it is practically impossible to fight against the Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao, who has lost her mind.

It's important to know that Ma Xiaotao is Yan Shaozhe's student, and Yan Shaozhe is the dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy, possessing formidable strength.

With Yan Shaozhe's guidance and the resources of Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao's strength is actually very strong. In addition, she has lost her mind and is consumed by evil fire, so she attacks without regard for the consequences. Even Ling Luochen was quickly defeated just now.

"Xiao Yan! Quickly call out the senior who brought you to Shrek Academy, or we might all die here today!" Ling Luochen shouted anxiously.

In her view, since the other party infiltrated Shrek Academy as a Soul King and came to the vicinity of the Sea God Pavilion, it meant that the other party was able to enter the academy's important grounds with the help of a powerful Soul Master.

Otherwise, how could an outsider Soul King possibly deceive the Shrek Academy's experts and arrive here?

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "It's just a matter of fighting Ma Xiaotao. There's no need to trouble anyone else. I can defeat Ma Xiaotao myself."

Ling Luochen was speechless. She felt that Huo Yuhao was being a bit too arrogant, and subconsciously asked, "Will you win?"

"We will win," Huo Yuhao said confidently.

Suddenly, a fiery red figure appeared behind him, and scorching flames erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body. Losing her mind, she only wanted to kill all life nearby.

"Watch out!" Ling Luochen's expression changed drastically, and he shouted immediately.

Huo Yuhao remained calm and did not turn around.

His left hand was already glowing with a fiery red light. Of course, Ling Luochen couldn't see this because his simulated soul skill concealed the fiery red light.

At this moment, a warm feeling spread from his left hand to his whole body. His method of dealing with Ma Xiaotao was very simple: he used the fire control soul skill attached to the Fire Dragon King's soul bone to directly control the nearby fire elements.

When it comes to the control of fire element, even the owner of the ultimate fire would have to admit defeat in front of him. After all, the fire dragon was a god-king in his previous life, and Huo Yuhao, who fused with the fire dragon king's soul bone, naturally also possessed some of the fire dragon king's power in the fire element.

"Flame, heed my command."

The next moment, the wild, frenzied flames suddenly stopped, then surged wildly backward, as if they had encountered something terrifying. Almost instantly, these flames transformed into a cage of fire, imprisoning Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao, of course, wouldn't obediently stay in the cage. Flames surged around her as she tried to break free of the fiery prison, but her attacks were futile.

Ling Luochen was stunned, somewhat unable to believe his eyes. The other party had stopped Ma Xiaotao's attack with just one sentence? Could the difference between people really be that great?

For a moment, Ling Luochen was somewhat confused, wondering what method the other party had used to stop the flames.

Soul skill? Doesn't seem like it. Could it be a combat skill? But that doesn't make sense either; combat skills couldn't be this powerful.

Ultimate Fire? No, that doesn't seem right either. Xiao Tao's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is very close to Ultimate Fire. There's a difference in their strength, so this situation shouldn't be happening.

Huo Yuhao walked to Ma Xiaotao's side and continued to use his fire control soul skill to suppress the evil fire in her body.

The evil fire was indeed a huge problem for Ma Xiaotao, but for Huo Yuhao, suppressing the evil fire was not a problem, because the evil fire was still fire!

A moment later, Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes, somewhat confused. She didn't understand why she was trapped in a cage of flames.

In fact, once Ma Xiaotao was consumed by evil spirits, she could not recall any memories of the period when she lost her mind.

Ma Xiaotao silently sensed her physical condition: "Strange, why isn't it hot anymore? That doesn't make sense. Even if Luo Chen helped, it's impossible to suppress it so well."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and the fiery cage immediately dissipated. At this moment, Ling Luochen walked up and looked at Ma Xiaotao with a look of surprise and joy: "Xiaotao, you're finally awake."

"Luo Chen, what just happened?" Ma Xiaotao asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ling Luochen sighed and then began to recount what had just happened. After a moment, Ma Xiaotao's face showed regret. She said, "Luochen, I couldn't suppress the evil fire in my body and almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, you and Xiao Yan from the Soul Palace helped me."

Ling Luochen sighed: "I didn't really help much at all. The one who really made a difference was Xiao Yan from the Soul Palace."

Ma Xiaotao looked at Huo Yuhao and said gratefully, "Xiao Yan, thank you for your help. But can you tell me what you did to suppress the evil fire in my body so well?"

Chapter 199 Yan Shaozhe: My background is actually like this!

Ma Xiaotao had never heard of the Soul Palace either.

However, in her opinion, the so-called Soul Hall should be a hidden sect on the Douluo Continent.

In fact, there are many hidden sects in Douluo Continent. Of course, not all of these hidden sects are as powerful as Haotian Sect.

Huo Yuhao said, "I only used some minor tricks. Now that your problem is temporarily solved, there's nothing more for me to do here."

Ma Xiaotao said anxiously, "Wait! Xiao Yan, I need your help. Although my evil fire is suppressed now, it will eventually erupt again."

I implore you to stay. If you grant my request, I will persuade the teacher to provide you with the resources necessary for your Soul Master cultivation.

Ma Xiaotao had the confidence to say this because she was extremely important to Shrek Academy. As long as she didn't perish, she was destined to enter the Sea God Pavilion in the future!

On the one hand, due to the legacy of her ancestors, as a descendant of Ma Hongjun, she herself had an extremely close relationship with Shrek Academy.

On the other hand, it's because of her talent.

You should know that she had already reached the Soul Emperor level when she was twenty years old.

Even in the entire Douluo Continent, she is an extremely rare existence.

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "I'm not interested in the cultivation resources that Yan Shaozhe might offer, and I won't stay at Shrek Academy to be your personal healer."

Disappointment immediately appeared on Ma Xiaotao's face, but she was the kind of person with a rather fiery and domineering personality, and it was impossible for her to keep begging Huo Yuhao.

So she slowly stood up, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said, "Then how can you stay?"

Although I am not clear about the situation of your Soul Hall, as far as I know, some reclusive sects are not doing well, and your Soul Hall should also be a reclusive sect.

The fact that the people of the reclusive sects have emerged into the world instead of choosing to remain hidden—I think you understand this better than I do.

"If you're willing to persuade the higher-ups at the Soul Hall to cooperate with Shrek Academy, I can help you. This way, you and your teachers can all reap substantial benefits."

Huo Yuhao shook his head again. The identity of Xiao Yan from the Soul Hall was just something he mentioned casually. The so-called Soul Hall came from Doupo... Well, Ma Xiaotao probably couldn't cooperate with the real Soul Hall across different works.
