Douluo: Star Emperor Yuhao

Chapter 7 Ma Xiaotao in A form

He Caitou, who had experienced the changes in the Sun and Moon Empire, quickly covered his mouth and then put it into his soul guide ring with lightning speed.

At the same time, he remitted one thousand gold soul coins to Huo Yuhao.

It’s no wonder that He Caitou was shocked.

Thousand-forged first-grade black iron essence! It is enough to make the core of a fifth-level soul guide. And because it is a second-level metal, the difficulty of carving is only level three.

But who in the right mind would forge a piece of dark iron into a thousand-forged first-grade metal, because the worse the metal, the longer it will take to purify it.

Now it is not like ten thousand years later. In order to make the so-called God-killing Cannonball Eternal Heaven, the Sun-Moon Federation used all the high-grade rare metals in the entire Douluo Continent, almost leading to the depletion of all high-grade rare metals.

The emergence of Doukai is partly the technical guidance of his Ice War God Armor, and also largely due to the depletion of high-grade metal resources.

Due to the lack of rare metals, some advanced soul tools cannot be made at all. Senior soul engineers began to seek new directions and discovered that some low-level metals can even be sublimated into higher-level metals after purification, possessing super-high spirituality that natural metals do not have.

!

The spirit of soul-forged metal can even run away!

Heavenly forging metal can even be said to be an artifact embryo possessing a spirit!

The emergence of Doukai has once again skyrocketed the status of soul masters!

It can only be said that the market determines demand. At this stage, no one is working hard in the direction of metal purification.

Low-level soul masters are studying hard, but spiritual training itself normally requires five rings to achieve.

Nowadays, the status of a five-ring soul king is not as good as in the past, but it is not low either. He can be considered as a middle-class noble.

Do you think a nobleman would learn to blacksmith?

And without direction, no amount of time is wasted.

It was only through the joint efforts of more than ten generations of top soul masters that we broke through the spiritual training and found the direction.

………

"Good brother! I'll collect the remaining money and give it to you in two days! Come on, I'll treat you to dinner at Tianfu Hotel! Watch the soul master competition while you eat!"

According to the market value of thirty kilograms of first-grade thousand-forged metal, one thousand gold soul coins is obviously enough.

But He Caitou is at the stage of breaking through the bottleneck of the third-level soul guide. With these first-grade thousand-forged black iron spirits, he is more sure of breaking through.

"Brother, no need, we have enough money. What relationship do we have, why do we need to worry about this."

"Brothers still need to settle accounts. Feelings are feelings, and prices are prices."

"…………"

The two of them each held a cigar in their mouths and walked arm-in-arm towards the Tianfu Hotel.

…………

"You can eat it, I'll pay for it!"

With a wave of his hand, He Caitou ordered all the special dishes of Tianfu Hotel. He had no choice but to ask him to order something cheap based on his understanding of his little brother.

"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek will win!"

Huo Yuhao's attention was attracted by the soul guidance screen on the side.

Screen projection soul guidance device, a civilian soul guidance device developed by the Sun and Moon Empire in recent years.

One is worth about one hundred gold soul coins.

The video played above was transmitted from the Tianhun Empire competition venue three thousand kilometers away.

Of course, this is not a soul-guided satellite TV for the next 10,000 years.

The latency of the current communication network is extremely high, with a transmission time of two minutes per 100 kilometers.

In other words, it will take at least an hour for the competition information from Tianhun City to reach Shrek.

Of course, what he cares about is not the soul guide, but the image inside the soul guide.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar red-haired girl in the picture, Huo Yuhao felt indescribably weird.

"Brother, who is that girl with short red hair and covered in flames on the soul guidance screen?"

He Caitou looked intently.

"Oh, that's the fourth-year senior from the outer academy of the martial arts department. She's already been admitted to the inner academy as senior Ma Xiaotao. She's fourteen years old. Her martial spirit is the Flame Phoenix, nicknamed the Queen of Flames."

"puff-----"

Huo Yuhao couldn't hold himself together, and the ice drink he had just taken into his mouth spurted out.

"What! Senior Ma Xiaotao?!!!"

"Yuhao~~~"

He Caitou's resentful words brought Huo Yuhao's mind back, leaving him feeling embarrassed for a moment.

"Sorry, it's a little different from what I imagined. Shouldn't the Queen of Flames be heroic and enchanting... Why does she look so..."

Taking the paper handed over by Huo Yuhao, He Caitou calmly wiped away the water stains on his body.

"You are not the first one to say this. In fact, it was my senior sister who came up with this title."

He Caitou put his mouth to Huo Yuhao's ear and said carefully.

"Secretly, they call her the Flame Lolita, while Senior Ling Luochen is the Frost Lolita, also known as the Ice and Fire Lolita in the outer courtyard."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched as he looked at the 1.4-meter-long loli who was bathed in flames and had a proud look on her waist.

"…………Well, the little one is indeed very cute..."

It’s hard to imagine that fourteen-year-old Sister Xiaotao is so cute and approachable, but she doesn’t have the same momentum as she did three years later.

The flames look friendly too.

Wait!! Something is wrong. Why is Sister Xiaotao’s flame so pure at this time?

"Brother, I remember that Senior Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit was inherited from the evil fire phoenix thousands of years ago. Why doesn't she seem to have the evil fire aura on her body?"

He Caitou stuffed a piece of chicken wing into his mouth. Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, he made a move, swallowed the chicken wing into his belly and spat out the skeleton. He was a little surprised.

"Yu Hao, do you even know this? Ordinary Shrek disciples may not understand."

"Ahem, I often go to the public library in Shrek City. The Complete Records of Continental Martial Spirits in it contains information about the Evil Fire Phoenix."

Huo Yuhao found a reasonably reasonable reason and prepared to call it out.

He Caitou was thoughtful.

Maybe, since he and Caitou didn't believe that there was information about the Evil Fire Phoenix in the public library.

"The Ma family bloodline left over from the ancestor of Ma Hongjun, one of the original Shrek Seven Monsters, who became a god, has been friends with Shrek for ten thousand years. The evil fire problem of the Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit has long been solved."

The less people know about this top-secret martial spirit, the better. How can it be kept in a public library?

However, He Caitou didn't delve into it. Didn't he also hide a secret?

"Phoenix Ray!"

Huo Yuhao felt emotional as he watched Ma Xiaotao playing her full game on the screen.

Yes, after all, it is also Shrek Academy, the institution with the most powerful people and the most top-notch resources in the mainland!

Forget it if it's a mutated martial spirit. If you can't even solve the problem of evil fire that has been inherited for thousands of years, it would be too disgraceful.

But, if this is the case, why is the evil fire behind my sister?

Did something unexpected happen?

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was deep in thought, He Caitou smiled and stuffed a large piece of roasted golden chicken coated with spices into Huo Yuhao's mouth.

"Yuhao, come on, have some chicken drumsticks! I'll think about it later. This table of food will be wasted if you can't finish it."

He Caitou raised his thick eyebrows.

"Uuuu...ahem~"

Huo Yuhao finally swallowed the chicken, and his innocent face turned pale with some helplessness.

"Ahem, I heard that Senior Ma Xiaotao and the others are going as a reserve team, but I didn't expect that Senior Ma Xiaotao is so strong and can win seven games in a row against a group of seniors around 20 years old."

Touching his bald head, He Caitou quickly changed the topic. Seeing Ma Xiaotao who had already won, he admired from the bottom of his heart.

"In the game against Tiancheng College in the afternoon, the college should send regular players. After all, it was the top 16 of the last competition. This time, there are three strong soul kings and four high-level soul sects leading the team. This kind of strength is not

The reserve team can definitely win.”

Amagi Academy?!

Huo Yuhao was shocked, he remembered!

Sister Xiaotao once told him.

During the competition with Tiancheng Academy in the Tianhun Empire Competition, due to squeezing the source, there was a problem of evil fire attacking the heart.

Later, I did not choose to stabilize and rest, which resulted in the evil fire becoming strong and unable to be suppressed.

At that time, Sister Xiaotao looked downplayed, and he thought the matter was not serious.

But from this point of view, it's not that the impact is small, but that she deliberately avoided it.

Ma Xiaotao on the screen arena!

Fifteen-year-old level 51 soul king!

Even if I was successful in my previous life, I still can’t catch up!

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered as he looked at the final game in the Tianhun Great Fighting Arena.

…………

In the afternoon, the game officially started.

In the Tianhun Empire's imperial capital, the Tianhun Great Soul Arena is the largest battlefield area of ​​a single building in the Tianhun Empire, with a length of 1,500 meters and a width of 1,500 meters.

The prototype battle arena in the middle alone is about one thousand meters long, and the 400,000 spectators are packed.

Shrek!Shrek!

The loud shouts soared into the sky and could be heard several kilometers away.

"Shrek will win! Shrek will win! Ma Xiaotao, I love you!"

At the very back of the auditorium, a middle-aged man in his thirties shouted enthusiastically, regardless of the perverted looks of the people around him.

What does face mean?

He, Ma Li, spent most of his net worth to buy Shrek points and win all nine games in the knockout rounds!

If you lose, you'll lose all your underwear.

Points knockout!

There are five days in total, one team will play two games a day, and there will be ten teams in one group. As long as they get five points, they can enter the qualifying round.

The goal is to filter out half of the team.

If you win ten games in a row, you will directly enter the top 16!

The top 16 will be determined in the next five days of qualifying, so there is no need to participate and there will be plenty of time to rest.

In the past, Shrek's worst score was eight points. In most cases, it directly advanced to the top 16 with a perfect score of nine points!

It's just that in this year's group stage, we faced the students from the Sun and Moon Royal Academy team.

Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy will definitely expose some of their strength in order to directly advance to the top 16, and the outcome is not clear for a while.

Because of this, before the game started, the bet ratio for this year's Shrek Academy to win all nine games was 1:1.

And this year Shrek is unexpectedly strong!

Especially the short-haired little girl Ma Xiaotao!

He spares no effort in his attacks and will crush the opponent with force every time he takes the field.

"Come on Ma Xiaotao, Ma Xiaotao will win! Come on Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao, I love you!"

Tread! Tread! Tread!

Heavy footsteps came, along with a chill, which silenced the last area of ​​the arena.

"How about giving this position 100 gold soul coins to me?"

A mechanical hand larger than a horse's head rested on his shoulder.

The cold touch made his whole body shiver.

Looking up stiffly.

This is a mysterious man who is three meters tall and has a rough build. He is wrapped in a black and gray robe.

He couldn't see his face clearly, and his face was shrouded in a circle of ice-blue mist, which seemed to be the source of the cold air.

Although Ma Li is just an ordinary gambler, he has good vision. He is definitely a soul mentor of a high level, at least level three!

Swallowing, he quickly gave up his seat and suppressed the fear in his heart.

"Sir, if that's the case, I will give up my position to you and treat you as a little brother who respects you. No money or anything else can be used."

"I don't want to engage in robbing. Take it and remember to stay away from gambling in the future. Nine times out of ten you will lose, and your family will be ruined."

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. From now on, I will be inseparable from gambling. Please take your time and watch. I will leave first."

Looking at the heavy bag of gold coins in his hand, Ma Li was ecstatic.

It's just a seat at the back, which is only worth five gold soul coins.

These one hundred gold soul coins are enough to buy twenty!

As for whether it was true or not, he would not doubt it. The soul master was recognized as wealthy in the mainland, so there was no need to deceive him for such a small amount of money.

………

It was just a small incident, and Huo Yuhao didn't take it to heart.

When he was about to sit down, he found that the seat was too small. The mecha was too big. Even if he retracted some of his weapons, the seat was still too small.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, I bought two more seats with one hundred gold soul coins, and then I reluctantly sat down.

——

On the field is Shrek versus the students of Tiancheng Academy, a seven-on-seven team competition.

The scene is extremely anxious now.

Tiancheng Academy's strength is pretty good, with three high-level soul kings and four high-level soul sects.

Since he had already gained 7 points, he no longer had any worries when facing Shrek, so he began to use a series of trump cards to defeat Shrek once.

Forget it if they are official members, they cannot win with their strength.

But they were only facing the reserve team!

The participating team members are seven people that Huo Yuhao is very familiar with. This generation is preparing for the Shrek Seven Monsters.

Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, Chen Zifeng, Xixi, Ling Luochen, Yao Haoxuan, Gong Yangmo.

Ma Xiaotao, who has the highest soul power, achieved level 51 Soul King at the age of fifteen. She is indeed a big monster!

Although the remaining six people are very talented and strong, they are still young and can barely reach the fortieth level of Soul Sect.

Facing Tiancheng Academy, which had all its trump cards in soul guidance devices, I was still a little overwhelmed.

Chen Zifeng, Xixi, Yao Haoxuan, and Dai Yueheng have been eliminated. However, Tiancheng Academy still has a soul king and two soul sects, and their condition is obviously better. The situation has become a bit subtle.

Is it possible that Shrek's halo will be broken this time?!

You know, it’s been a thousand years! Shrek has never lost to a team other than the Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire during the points knockout period of the Soul Master Competition!

The audience on the field became inexplicably excited and watched the game attentively.

…………

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Gong Yangmo who were breathing heavily on the field, Huo Yuhao frowned, and it was obvious that they were working hard.

What happened in the academy? Why is there no official team member?

The teacher leading the team this time is Du Weilun.

I don’t know much about Director Du Huo Yuhao, but he is definitely a person who attaches great importance to the honor of the college.

Knowing the strength of Amagi Academy, yet not sending regular players to play is simply incomprehensible.

At that time, he had no choice but to make such arrangements because the official students were seriously injured.

Is it possible that something happened to Shrek's official team members again?

Could it be that Mr. Xuan is leading the team again?

Huo Yuhao had an inexplicable headache.

The intuition of the eye of destiny in his soul told him that even if Mr. Xuan was not leading the team, this matter must be related to him.

Mr.

If you guessed correctly, if you calculate the time, it should be the major teaching accident led by Mr. Xuan.

Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought as his fingertips hit the seat with a crisp metallic sound.

No wonder I didn't feel the aura of Mr. Xuan. Normally, Mr. Xuan would go out to protect him. After all, in terms of combat power, in Shrek, except for Teacher Moon, no one is stronger than Mr. Xuan.

…………

[Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike]!

Ma Xiaotao's fourth soul skill erupts a huge pillar of flame on the ground three seconds after it is used! It is very powerful, but because of the delay, it will be more difficult to hit.

But it would be different if someone restricted it.

A huge pillar of fire rose into the sky and hit the two of them!

"Shrek Academy Gongyang Mo fainted! Eliminated! Tiancheng Academy Liu Long was eliminated!"

The referee's high-pitched voice sounded, announcing that another member of the Shrek Academy representative team had fallen!

Also eliminated at the same time was another soul sect from Tiancheng College.

As the owner of the auxiliary beast martial soul Rainbow Dragon, Gong Yangmo gave up defense and used himself as bait, replacing the opponent's agility attack soul instructor.

Both of them were hit by Ma Xiaotao's attack at the same time.

There were only four people left on the scene, and none of them acted rashly.

The two people from Tiancheng Academy used soul-guiding milk bottles to restore their soul power and prepared to give Shrek Academy the final blow! There was unconcealable ecstasy in their eyes!

Compared to Shrek and the other two, their condition is much better.

Shrek's side, the blue-haired three-dimensional girl Ling Luochen, who was about 1.5 meters tall, panted heavily and collapsed on the ground, cold sweat dripping from her forehead, squeezing out the last bit of soul power in her body.

He raised the ice staff in his hand with difficulty, the purple soul ring flashing.

The fourth soul skill [Ice Mist and Coldness]!

Cold ice fog rose from the venue and quickly spread to the entire arena, making it difficult to see what was going on inside for a while.

"Sister Xiaotao...I'll leave the next step to you."

Bang~~~

Looking at Ling Luochen who was still teasing her when she was unconscious, Ma Xiaotao was not angry for the first time because she called her her sister. She gritted her teeth and a black and red light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
