Chapter 39 Something is wrong with Ma Xiaotao
In Huo Yuhao's opinion, Xuan Zi's so-called guidance was meaningless. Once a week, under Xuan Zi's guidance, the seven reserve team members would have a big fight of all kinds.

To put it nicely, this guidance is to let everyone show what they have learned in the past, so that their teammates can understand and become familiar with it, and allow Xuanzi to guide or correct their fighting style.

But in fact, this kind of training is to make the seven people closer to a team, so that the seven people in the reserve team can develop a subconscious tacit understanding, so that everyone can have a clearer understanding of their position in the team.

Although it cannot be said to be wrong, cattle and sheep travel in herds, while tigers often walk alone.

If nothing unexpected happens, the soul masters trained in this way will eventually become "students" who are good at fighting in the ring, rather than powerful soul masters who can truly stand on their own.

Three weeks had passed since the previous selection competition, and today was Xuanzi’s teaching day. Huo Yuhao and the other seven also came to a venue in the assessment area that was not open to the public, waiting for Xuanzi’s arrival.

Not long after, after Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived, Xuan Zi also appeared in the assessment area.

The only difference from the past was that this time, in addition to Xuan Zi, there were seven other figures in blood-red school uniforms following Xuan Zi.

These seven people are the official members of this year's Shrek Academy participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. They are also the abandoned pawns sacrificed by the will of the universe in the original work so that Huo Yuhao can perform.

Under the blessing of the great cosmic will of the Douluo World, an evil soul master soul king actually killed or injured seven people in an ordinary mission on the eve of the soul fighting competition for senior soul masters from all over the continent. It is really funny.

Xuan Zi nodded and said to everyone present: "Everyone is here. In ten days, the new Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition will begin."

"You should have guessed each other's identities. In front of you are the starting players and substitutes for this competition. Today, we will let you meet and get to know each other."

Xuan Zi immediately looked at Huo Yuhao and the other seven players and said, "Although the substitute players will mostly be spectators this time, in order to hone your skills, each of you will definitely have a chance to play."

"When facing some less powerful opponents, you will be selected to compete in order to hide the strength of the regular players."

"So, all of you, pay attention. Win, not lose. My Shrek Academy will not produce mediocre people. You all know the consequences of losing the game. Do you understand?"

“Yes, we understand!” Huo Yuhao and the other seven agreed in unison.

"As for the rest, I won't say much. I always believe that fists are the best way to communicate. In order for you to get familiar with each other's personalities and abilities as quickly as possible, let's use a friendly match as a warm-up!"

Then Xuanzi turned his gaze to Ma Xiaotao and his group: "Before the friendly match begins, please introduce yourself to each other, starting with the official team."

"Inner courtyard, Ma Xiaotao, level 67 strong attack system combat soul emperor." A woman with long dark red hair tied into a ponytail stepped forward and spoke first. Her eyes also turned dark red, as if two flames were burning.

Without the suppression of Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice spirit in the original novel, although Ma Xiaotao is still playing as a regular member of Shrek Academy, and her spirit power cultivation is not weaker than in the original novel.

But through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao could see that beneath Ma Xiaotao's appearance, the soul power in her body was like an undercurrent of surging magma.

In fact, even the extreme ice suppression in the original book was nothing more than a temporary solution to Ma Xiaotao's thirst.

Because what has always troubled Ma Xiaotao is the evil energy in the Evil Fire Phoenix, not the fire itself.

The ultimate ice only suppresses the enemy through its attribute level, which is ultimately only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

Moreover, as the evil fire becomes more and more suppressed, the power that finally erupts will become even more terrifying.

Therefore, if you really want to eliminate the influence of evil fire, it is best to start from purification.

But in Douluo Continent, the soul masters' training system is determined from the moment they awaken their martial souls.

Even the so-called ultimate attributes are just advantages on one path.

They are also unable to expand their advantages to other areas.

When it comes to abilities like purification and baptism, angel spirits are naturally the best among them. As for the six-winged angel spirit, which is a divinely bestowed spirit, it is not difficult to remove the so-called evil fire if there is help from a high-level spirit master who is also a six-winged angel.

But ten thousand years ago, with the destruction of the Spirit Hall by Tang San, the angel clan also fled in all directions and no longer appeared in the world. Even if they existed, they were only some impure angel spirit bloodline inheritances.

For example, martial spirits such as the Healing Angel, although extremely powerful, have lost the most fundamental purity and power of the God-given martial spirits.

With the six-winged angel martial spirit inheritance hidden, after excluding the usual purification methods, the second option to eliminate the evil fire is purification.

When the flame attribute of the one who is possessed by the evil fire is pure and strong enough, the evil energy that has penetrated into the martial soul will naturally be eliminated.

But looking at Ma Xiaotao at this moment, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be silent. This girl is no longer the evil fire phoenix, right? This evil energy is about to explode. Are you sure it's not an evil phoenix?

"Master Yi, what do you think?" Huo Yuhao was not sure at this moment, because he did not expect Ma Xiaotao's condition to become so bad.

If a fight really breaks out, Ma Xiaotao will become so angry that if no one stops her, she will tear everyone present to pieces, right?
"Little guy, take a closer look." Compared to Huo Yuhao, Alex seemed much more calm and composed, and said calmly.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and carefully scanned Ma Xiaotao's body with the Eye of Truth.

Only then did he notice that although the soul power in Ma Xiaotao's body seemed chaotic, it was actually orderly. On the contrary, the fire in it was like some kind of impurity that hindered the circulation of the soul power, thus interfering with Huo Yuhao's judgment.

'The power in this girl's body has been infected by evil spirits and should have entered a stable transformation stage. It is not as unstable as you think.'

'But after this transformation phase is over, the girl's mind will definitely be disturbed by this evil spirit. If she cannot be firm in herself, she will be destroyed.'

'If there is no guidance, what will be born in this destruction is a new monster? Or a brand new self? No one can guarantee this. ''But you really don't have to worry about this. After all, even if the opponent's strength increases dramatically, I have the ability to protect you. No matter how much the evil spirit increases, unless she can fully control it, it is just a small dish for me. '

Alex had said so much, and Huo Yuhao had no more questions. His attention now shifted to the other members of the Shrek Inner Court Team.

Especially the student named Gong Yang Mo, because the nature of his martial soul is very special.

Level 59, Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul. Its martial soul's status in the world of soul masters is like that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.

Both are considered extremely powerful auxiliary martial spirits, but are also deeply affected by the shackles of the highest seven rings and the inability to make further breakthroughs.

However, unlike the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda which was a weapon spirit, Huo Yuhao was curious that, as a beast spirit, this Rainbow Dragon actually had a prototype and had existed for more than 100,000 years.

The Rainbow Dragon is called the Queen of Dragons. Due to its beautiful appearance and powerful multi-system spell abilities, it can gain a powerful and unshakable status for the dragons that follow it.

However, when this martial soul is passed on to a human soul master, it will be severely restricted when it reaches the seventh ring of strength, and it will be almost impossible to make a breakthrough.

This is why Gong Yangmo chose to position his Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul as an auxiliary martial soul.

In fact, due to the power of the Rainbow Dragon itself, it can perfectly adapt to any system, whether it is the offensive system, the control system, or the auxiliary system.

It is just because of the bottleneck limitation of martial spirits that in terms of the ability to interfere with the battles of high-level spirit masters, the strong attack and control spirit masters are obviously not as useful as the auxiliary spirit masters.

If one wants to become an inner court disciple of Shrek Academy, then if one does not have the ability to reach the Soul Douluo level, then one must have another skill.

This is why Gong Yangmo's training direction is auxiliary. However, in Huo Yuhao's opinion, this is really a waste of this powerful dragon martial spirit.

Although after the fall of the God Realm, there are no more pure-blooded dragons of the next generation except the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, ​​the Rainbow Dragon's dragon bloodline can be considered an extremely pure branch in the Douluo Continent.

And if he could analyze his martial soul and use it to strengthen his own physique so that he could also possess the ability to control affinities of multiple elements, it would be helpful for Huo Yuhao's future growth.

After all, although Alex calls himself the Holy God of Death, the various types of magic in other categories that he possesses in his memory should not be underestimated, and Huo Yuhao is limited by his physique and the laws of the plane.

Whether it was the spells he learned or the soul skills he performed with the help of soul power, they were all relatively weak except for the ice attribute ability. This was also Huo Yuhao's current shortcoming. He had a treasure mountain but was unable to use it, which always bothered him.

There is not much to say about the other inner court disciples.

Dai Yaoheng is a level 64 strong attack soul emperor. He is the elder brother of Dai Huabin and the eldest son of Duke Baihu. He hated the original owner's family and was also on Huo Yuhao's revenge list.

The strength of the remaining four inner courtyard students are all above level 50.

The fifty-fifth-level martial soul is the giant control auxiliary war soul king Yao Haoxuan, the fifty-sixth-level agility attack war soul king Xixi, and the fifty-seventh-level strong attack war soul king Chen Zifeng.

These people are the four unlucky guys who suffered the same misfortune as Gong Yang Mo in the original novel, except for the last one, Ling Luochen, who is a level 55 control-type soul king. He was also spared by the will of the universe because he and Huo Yuhao have the same ice attribute.

These three people and Gong Yang Mo suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the messenger of death, which also led to the main plot of Huo Yuhao pretending to be cool and getting humiliated at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.

After the main team finished their self-introductions, Huo Yuhao and other reserve team members also reported their strengths and majors according to the previously determined age ranking.

After everyone had finished introducing themselves, Xuan Zi continued, "Okay, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, you will each lead a team. Ma Xiaotao, you have a higher level of cultivation, so you can only lead two regular players."

"But you can prioritize the starting players and the reserve players once. Dai Yuheng, you can bring three starting players to your team, and then the reserve players."

Ma Xiaotao glanced at everyone present and said coldly, "Gong Yang Mo."

After a brief thought, she chose Beibei, who was the strongest in the reserve team, the most famous in the outer courtyard, and was known as the twin stars together with Xu Sanshi.

Then Ma Xiaotao said to Dai Yueheng expressionlessly, "It's your turn."

Seeing this situation, Dai Yaoheng chose Chen Zifeng and Xu Sanshi, the two strongest students among the remaining people present.

After all, they are not very familiar with the abilities of the outer courtyard students. Except for Xu Sanshi and Beibei who are somewhat famous in the outer courtyard, even the inner courtyard disciples have more or less heard of them, but the remaining second-year students have only been enrolled for one year.

In this case, it is of course most advantageous to choose the one with the strongest soul power as a teammate.

Xu Sanshi, who was chosen by Dai Yuheng, had a bitter look on his face. After all, he and Ma Xiaotao were quite familiar with each other.

Because he had to help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire, he was also tormented a lot, so he also knew more clearly about Ma Xiaotao's strength and temper, which had become more and more weird in the past year.

It was Ma Xiaotao's turn again. This time, Ma Xiaotao chose Ling Luochen and Jiang Nannan. Ma Xiaotao's quota for selecting inner courtyard disciples had been used up. Next, Dai Yuheng chose Xixi and Yao Haoxuan.

Although he didn’t know why Dai Yueheng chose two inner court disciples first when Ma Xiaotao was no longer able to choose one, Huo Yuhao said he didn’t understand but respected it.

As for Ma Xiaotao, she chose Ning Tian and Wang Dong, two of the stronger Soul Masters among the second-year students, as her teammates. The remaining Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao were naturally assigned to Dai Yueheng's team.

At this point, the members of both teams have been selected. Xuan Zi held the wine gourd and smiled: "Very good, since you have already divided into teams, I will give you ten minutes to arrange your tactics. After ten minutes, the competition will begin."

"But let's add some spice. The loser can just shout, 'I'm a pig.'"
