Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 166 Yuhao, Keep Up the Good Work!

Chapter 166 Yuhao, Keep Up the Good Work!

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

The first round of the round-robin tournament has concluded.

Compared to the brutal elimination rounds where a single match determines the winner, in the round-robin tournament, each team must play at least seven matches and defeat more than five opponents in their group in order to have a chance to advance.

Similarly, the matches in the first round of the tournament were much more peaceful than before.

Each team adjusted their tactics, using the first round of the round-robin tournament to adjust the team's state and hide their true strength, completely unlike the all-out effort they showed in the knockout stage.

On the seventh floor of the Star Emperor Hotel, in the bathroom of a suite, a series of intermittent, suppressed sobs emanated from the crack in the bathroom door frame, prompting contemplation.

"Ugh, Yuhao, are you... are you done yet?"

A seductive, soft, and charming voice rang out, tinged with a hint of barely suppressed urgency.

"Sister Tao, shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?"

Huo Yuhao's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the water spraying from the showerhead fell onto the two naked bodies embracing, making a hissing sound and making the already hazy bathroom even more indistinct.

Even so, Huo Yuhao could still clearly feel that the voluptuous and fiery body was constantly pressing against his body, as if it were yearning for something.

Especially the beauty before him, whose already fair and snow-white skin was now even more radiant, flushed with an alluring blush.

Ma Xiaotao felt a throbbing pain in her meridians that felt like they were about to burst. Her narrow phoenix eyes were half-closed as she exhaled a hot breath from her nose and spoke almost into Huo Yuhao's ear.

"Yuhao, give it your all, I feel like I'm almost there."

Hearing Sister Xiaotao's extremely easily misunderstood and suggestive words, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily.

His fingers, which were already deeply embedded in the other woman's soft parts, tightened even more, causing Ma Xiaotao's stunningly curvaceous peach-shaped buttocks to deform slightly.

An extreme chill burst forth from his fingertips without reservation.

The hot steam in the bathroom suddenly cooled down, quickly condensed, and turned into a layer of visible white frost that spread outwards.

Ma Xiaotao felt a strange electric current suddenly surge from her tailbone straight to her brain.

Her body convulsed violently, her red lips parted slightly, and she bit down on Huo Yuhao's shoulder.

Yet that alluring and heavy nasal sound still spilled out intermittently from her throat, like the slight trembling of a delicate flower covered in morning dew, its petals colliding after the branches were bent by the heavy dew.

Slowly recovering from the extreme sensation of extreme heat and cold, Ma Xiaotao's delicate body was still trembling slightly.

Her alluring charm became even more pronounced, her long, narrow phoenix eyes slightly upturned, and her peach-pink eyes were now filled with misty fog. Combined with her still flushed face, she exuded a breathtakingly seductive charm.

"Sister Tao, how are you feeling now?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's question close to her ear, Ma Xiaotao, still immersed in the afterglow, breathed slightly.

As her blood flowed smoothly again and the chill gradually subsided, a languid coquettish expression appeared on her face.

"I feel that my soul power has reached level 70, and the evil fire seems to have turned into a bead in my dantian."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao stretched out her fair fingers, and a bright golden-red flame emerged from her fingertips.

The flames were unusually clear and intensely hot, completely devoid of their previous ferocity and destructive nature.

"Ultimate Fire?"

Huo Yuhao lifted Ma Xiaotao, whose body was limp and almost slipped into the bathtub, and held her up, letting her lean against him. Feeling the incredibly pure flame aura, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Hyotei, within the Sea of ​​Spirit, sensed it briefly and then spoke directly:

"Not quite. The essence of her martial soul hasn't changed. It's just that the evil fire within her was suppressed too severely by your ultimate ice, which is why her martial soul temporarily possessed some of the characteristics of ultimate fire. Once she uses it too much, the evil fire within her will still surge back."

After hearing Hyotei's explanation, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up slightly.

His original plan was to sign a soul contract with the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower after Ma Xiaotao reached level 70, and use this pure yang immortal herb to completely remove the evil fire from the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, so that it could become a true fire phoenix.

However, Huo Yuhao was unsure whether this method would actually allow her to reach the ultimate level of fire.

In her previous life, Ma Xiaotao was transformed into a black phoenix by the power of the Sword of Judgment, which allowed her to reach the level of ultimate fire first.

Later, by removing the evil poison from her body herself, and through the crystallization of the top-grade fire-attribute immortal product, Blazing Gel, she was able to fully replenish her essence and become a true ultimate fire.

Within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the immortal herbs are already extremely precious, but in reality, they can be further divided into different grades.

Occupying the core position of the Blazing Yang Spring, the Fiery Apricot Blossom is undoubtedly at the top among all fire-attribute immortal herbs.

However, the Fiery Apricot contains extremely strong fire poison, which is very difficult to withstand unless one is immune to all poisons.

Furthermore, signing a contract with a 100,000-year-old soul beast with a cultivation level of 70 already puts enormous pressure on a soul master's mental strength.

In this situation, Huo Yuhao would naturally choose to have Ma Xiaotao sign the relatively more secure contract with Phoenix Sunflower.

But now, the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body has been suppressed to its limit, giving her a brief period of possessing some of the characteristics of extreme fire.

In addition, Tang Ya had previously sent a message that the Spirit Transmission Hall, which is specifically designed to reduce the difficulty of signing a soul contract within the Spirit Transmission Tower, has been completed.

This further reduces the difficulty for Ma Xiaotao to directly contract with Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

The only question to consider is whether Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, with her volatile temper, is willing to become Ma Xiaotao's soul.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, who was still flushed and exuding a lazy aura as he carried her to the bed, Huo Yuhao leaned down slightly and gently explained his plans and arrangements to her.

Ma Xiaotao narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and before he could finish speaking, she reached out and pulled Huo Yuhao, who was by the bedside, into her arms again.

Her long, shapely legs wrapped around his waist, and her red lips lightly kissed Huo Yuhao's cheek, her breath sweet as orchids, yet her face showed a hint of hesitation.

"Yuhao, which of these two methods do you think can preserve the evil fire?"

Huo Yuhao, who was struggling to breathe from being squeezed by Ma Xiaotao's softness, suddenly had a lot of questions pop into his mind.

"?"

Seeing the complicated expression on Huo Yuhao's face, which showed complete incomprehension, Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"It's because someone's been acting like a block of wood. They've already looked at it, touched it..."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao's soft hand slid down and gently pinched it, then she let out a soft moan.

"If it weren't for your energetic spirit, I would have thought my body held no appeal for you at all. You clearly come out of Gu Yuena's room quite often; does that mean if Gu Yuena can, why can't I?"

Huo Yuhao felt embarrassed as he watched Ma Xiaotao's bold actions, and his body became increasingly stiff.

Seeing his expression, Ma Xiaotao chuckled.

"Now that we're getting down to business, you can't stay like this."

The girl's seductive voice escaped from her red lips.

The next instant, a warm, hot sensation, like that of a hot spring, completely enveloped Huo Yuhao.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, who was bowing her head, her long, fiery red hair cascading down like a waterfall, and her phoenix eyes raised, she became even more alluring.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously pressed his hand against her hair a few times.

A muffled sobbing sound grew increasingly clear in the silent room.

……

Within the undead demiplane, the black sun hung high, the light was dim, and everything around it exuded an eerie and sinister aura.

Ma Xiaotao's body, which had become hot after her caress with Huo Yuhao, suddenly felt cold, and she subconsciously shrank her neck.

Her gaze swept across the undulating, barren terrain around her, finally settling on the peculiar lake in the distance, where red and white hues blended yet remained distinctly separate.

Death and life, extreme cold and extreme heat, intertwine and collide in this unique space, generating an exceptionally rich primordial energy.

However, the omnipresent energy of death and extreme cold became increasingly stimulating for her, a fire-attribute soul master.

"Yuhao, just what kind of being is your teacher? How could he create such an independent dimension?"

After listening to Huo Yuhao's brief introduction to this undead demiplane, Ma Xiaotao also felt very curious.

This ability to create a plane out of thin air is, for her, no less than the power of a god.

"My teacher created this place to study necromancy. After thousands of years of evolution, this place can be considered a unique world exclusively for undead creatures."

As they walked slowly forward, Huo Yuhao led Ma Xiaotao to the edge of Yangquan's spring.

A peculiar plant, fiery red all over, as if carved from a ruby, standing over ten feet tall, and resembling a large cabbage, was swaying gently by the spring.

Its body shimmered with a bright red light, which made the already scorching air around it even hotter because of the Yangquan spring.

"Human, is there something else you want from me? You took all my scorching glue, not a single drop is left."

A clear female voice rang out, her words tinged with obvious dissatisfaction.

Anyone would probably react this way if their hard-earned essence, accumulated over ten thousand years, were taken away.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is now more effective than it was in the outside world, and that Huo Yuhao could help them safely overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, plus the fact that he was the man of the Soul Beast Lord, she wouldn't bother with this human whose attributes clashed with her own.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and said softly, "Ajiao, let me introduce you. This is Ma Xiaotao next to me. Her martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix. She has just reached the bottleneck of level 70 and can sign a soul contract with you."

"The Fiery Phoenix? A descendant of the Phoenix God who ascended ten thousand years ago?"

The fiery apricot blossoms trembled even more violently, and after a brief silence, it said in confusion:

"Then you should go find that Phoenix Sunflower. Her martial spirit hasn't reached the level of what you humans call the ultimate fire, so it can't bear my power. Instead, it would just be a waste of her life."

After receiving a signal from Huo Yuhao, intense flames emerged from Ma Xiaotao's body, instantly bathing her in pure golden-red flames, making her resemble a true fire phoenix.

"Ultimate Fire?"

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's massive body suddenly leaned back, then suddenly lunged forward, her tone filled with deep doubt.

"Something's not right. Come closer so I can take a closer look."

Before Ma Xiaotao could step forward, another flash of fire appeared twenty feet away, followed by a woman's equally energetic voice.

"Ah Jiao, do you understand? Human, as the immortal herb chosen by your ancestor, I am undoubtedly the most compatible with your bloodline. Don't you want to become a true fire phoenix like your ancestor?"

Upon hearing this voice, Liehuo Xingjiao snorted disdainfully, her voice turning cold.

"Ah Kui, don't you understand the principle of first come, first served? Or do you want me to beat you up again?"

Before she finished speaking, a scorching stream of air rose from Liehuo Xingjiao's body, instantly transforming into a strange, fiery red vortex.

With a sudden swirl, the vortex drew up a massive amount of fiery red spring water from the scorching Yangquan spring.

The spring water swirled and condensed in the air, transforming into a graceful female figure. The air around her distorted violently due to the high temperature.

Seeing this, the Phoenix Sunflower was not to be outdone. The flames in its direction blazed brightly, and a strange plant phantom, nearly three zhang tall with the top of its leaves resembling a giant rooster's comb, appeared. Faintly, a high-pitched phoenix cry resounded throughout the space.

"Ah Jiao, if you have the guts, don't rely on Yangquan's power. Come out and fight me fair and square."

The Fiery Apricot's large, delicate leaves swayed even more merrily, emitting a series of crisp, giggling sounds: "I can use it, but you can't. What, are you not convinced?"

"You... I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you anymore."

Seeing Liehuo Xingjiao's irritating appearance, Jiguanfeng Kui became even angrier, but she still suppressed her anger, snorted coldly, and then turned to Ma Xiaotao with a sincere attitude.

"Human, choose me to be your spirit. I can completely filter out the impurities from the phoenix flames within you, giving you the purest flames."

Although Gillian Chung is more domineering than me in terms of fire element, the intense fire poison she contains could very well ignite the evil fire within you, causing it to consume your heart and ultimately leading to your self-immolation. In that case, it would have been a pointless sacrifice of your life.
