Chapter 185: Ma Xiaotao Burned by Fire
Today is the fourth game of the round-robin tournament. Shrek is still scheduled to play in the first game, and their opponent is the North Shore Soul Instructor Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire.
According to the information collected by Wang Yan, the strength of this academy is not strong, and it has no special reputation in the Sun Moon Empire. There is only one Soul King, and the rest are Soul Sect members.
Apart from the fact that their captain's martial spirit is rather special, there is nothing noteworthy about them.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, the outcome of today's game is no longer a foregone conclusion.
Everyone's attention is focused on other aspects, for example, will Shrek use any new tricks to kill his opponent instantly?
Some underground casinos have even opened all kinds of weird gambling markets because of this, preparing to make a small fortune by taking advantage of the popularity of the competition.
It was already bright outside, but because of the dark clouds in the sky, the sky was still a little gloomy. Fine rain began to fall from the sky. This was the first time it had rained since the start of the competition.
Undoubtedly, the players participating in today's competition will have to compete in the rain.
"They're coming!"
"Huh? Why have I never seen that female student before?"
Amid the discussions from other academies, the Shrek team slowly approached.
When the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy saw Ma Xiaotao, a new member of the Shrek team, they were suddenly startled.
Ma Rulong whispered, "I remember that female student appeared in the last competition. Her name was Ma Xiaotao. Could it be that the Shrek regular player has recovered from his injury?"
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had already found out that Shrek's main players had an accident on the road, so they let the reserve players take over.
However, Shrek's reserve team this year is really too strong, even more like the regular players than the regular players.
On the top of the city wall, Emperor Xingluo also arrived at the scene surrounded by his ministers.
He was looking down from above and at a glance he saw the new faces that appeared in the Shrek team.
A look of slight surprise appeared in his eyes: "This should be the original player selected by Shrek for this competition, right? After this period of rest, it seems that her injuries have basically recovered."
Beside Emperor Xingluo, the burly Duke of White Tiger had a look of sorrow in his eyes.
The female student of Shrek was only slightly injured. After a period of recuperation, she was even able to participate in the competition. However, his eldest son had already
Seeing the dejected Duke Baihu, Emperor Xingluo knew that he must have been thinking about sad things again, so he comforted him with some gentle words.
Then, he looked towards Shrek thoughtfully, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
As an emperor, it was very easy for him to investigate things.
Therefore, Shrek had already received a detailed report from Dai Hao and the military about the accident that he encountered during the competition.
But what he couldn't understand was that, according to the records in the report, the leader of the bandit group that Shrek and his friends encountered was an evil soul master at the Soul King level.
It is undeniable that the abilities of evil soul masters are indeed strange and cannot be judged by common sense, but Dai Yuheng is a real Soul Emperor. Even if an accident really happened, why was he the one to be blown to death?
Compared with others, the damage suffered by Dai Yuheng was too great.
Moreover, judging from the results of the games over the past few days, the strength of Shrek's reserve players is probably not much worse than that of the regular players, plus Shrek's Master Xuan is also there.
With so many powerful people working together, how could Dai Yuheng die so completely?
Emperor Xingluo always felt that this matter was a little unbelievable.
Could it be that he was really unlucky and was targeted by that evil soul master?
Emperor Xingluo shook his head secretly and put these chaotic thoughts behind him. On the field, the draw was over and the competition was a one-on-one, individual match.
In the Shrek rest area, Wang Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was a little irritable, and said with a slight hesitation: "Xiaotao, are you sure you want to play? You have just recovered from your injury, and today's opponent is not strong. I think you can rest for another round and play in the next game."
Ma Xiaotao's eyes swept over Huo Yuhao, with a bit of stubbornness in her eyes: "Teacher Wang, because of that accident, I, as a regular player, could only recuperate in the hotel during this period of time, and was unable to contribute to the team."
"Now that my injuries have basically recovered, I should at least contribute a bit."
"This..." Wang Yan's gaze subconsciously turned to Huo Yuhao.
Although he is the team leader of the Shrek team, because of what Yan Shaozhe said before, the real decision maker of the Shrek team is actually Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao laughed indifferently: "Since Senior Ma wants to contribute to the team, Teacher Wang, don't stop her. Just let her go. Our opponent today is not strong anyway, so just treat it as a warm-up for Senior Ma."
Ever since Yan Shaozhe bowed and apologized to Huo Yuhao that day, Ma Xiaotao's attitude towards him has become somewhat subtle.
As Yan Shaozhe's direct disciple and also the true captain of Shrek's team, the proud Ma Xiaotao saw with her own eyes her respected teacher bowing and apologizing to Huo Yuhao in a humble manner, which really hurt her self-esteem.
Therefore, during this period of time, while Ma Xiaotao was recovering from her injuries, she was actually feeling resentful in her heart.
This energy was like an evil fire in her body, constantly burning her body and mind, making her eager to vent it out.
She often couldn't help but think, if she had practiced harder and improved her cultivation to a higher level, would she have been able to better protect her teammates when facing the evil soul master that day and avoid causing such serious consequences?
Wouldn't it also not bring shame to the teacher who is the dean because of me?
Therefore, even Wang Yan didn’t know that Ma Xiaotao was actually practicing madly while recovering from her injuries!
In fact, because of her injuries, the evil fire in her body had begun to become unstable.
If she followed her previous practice, what she should do now is to find Huo Yuhao and ask him to help her suppress the evil fire in her body.
But because of the thorn in her heart, Ma Xiaotao now can't open her mouth.
She just wanted to get on stage and have a good fight to vent the anger in her heart.
Huo Yuhao actually saw some clues.
But to be honest, he didn't care at all.
It is a fact that Yan Shaozhe secretly suppressed him because of Ma Xiaotao.
He was already kind enough by not deliberately seeking revenge. What Ma Xiaotao thought was none of his business.
As for the corpse explosion, even if he didn't take action, the lesson he learned would not be reduced.
Because he clearly remembered that in the original book, someone was also blown to death on the spot!
The pedantry and pride of these inner court disciples are destined to be slapped in the face!
Since Ma Xiaotao wanted to perform on the court, he was naturally happy and relaxed.
As for the competition, well, with Huo Yuhao's current strength, he actually doesn't have much desire to perform on the court.
These contestants were not at the same level as him, so it didn't matter whether he fought or not.
What he really cared about was only the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion and the deal with Yan Shaozhe - the reference materials on the third floor of the library that could help Yi Lao overcome the final difficulty and create a soul!
