"What is this supposed to be?"

"The Sun Moon Team changed its lineup right before battle. We of the Earth Dragon Sect object!"

At the sight of this mixed team before him,

Luo Feng paid no heed to any so-called unwritten rules.

He raised an objection directly with the referee!

Under the previous rules of the Soul Master Tournament,

the contestants registered for a team were supposed to be the ones who fought.

Any substitutes could be registered in advance.

No one had ever pulled a stunt like the Sun Moon Team's!

This was a blatant violation of the tournament rules.

Hearing someone raise such an objection,

the referee in the arena was utterly helpless.

He could only turn to look toward Xu Tianran!

The man had yet to become emperor.

He was still the crown prince.

Faced with a thorn in his side like Luo Feng,

he also felt that this would be difficult to resolve!

"The Sun Moon Team submitted a request. Several of their members fell seriously ill, so they applied for outside assistance!"

Seeing Xu Tianran's look,

the referee could only steel himself and spout nonsense.

In truth, these people from the Sun Moon Empire had never followed the rules.

The opposing Three Great Empires knew that perfectly well.

Previously, no one had dared step forward to stop their reckless antics.

But today, Luo Feng's shout

made many people feel deeply satisfied!

"Then if they add a few Titled Douluos to their team, shouldn't we just surrender?"

Knowing Xu Tianran would turn hostile later,

Luo Feng had no intention of indulging him.

And upon hearing Luo Feng's retort,

the spectators in the stands began buzzing with discussion!

"Isn't that woman from the Holy Spirit Team?"

"Yes, yes! I've seen them fight. They're vicious!"

"The Sun Moon Team seems to have gone a little too far this time. Isn't this an outright violation of the rules?"

"Exactly! By that reasoning, they could just put two Titled Douluos on their team, and there'd be no point fighting!"

Hearing the surrounding chatter,

Xu Tianran frowned as well.

In fact, Luo Feng had given him too much credit.

Zhongli Wu had arranged all of this.

The old man had assumed no one would dare object, but Luo Feng just had to be so defiant.

For a moment, the people in the arena found themselves unable to climb down from the stage they had put themselves on.

Even Meng Hongchen kept mocking her new teammate beside her!

"Your reputation really stinks! Still, we can win without fighting now!"

Hearing the sarcasm in her voice,

Ma Xiaotao made an unexpected decision.

The Fire Phoenix Saintess slowly approached Luo Feng and offered a condition that greatly interested him!

"You're Luo Feng, right? If you beat me, we'll count it as you defeating all seven of us in the individual matches. How about it?"

Well, well!

Ma Xiaotao certainly was arrogant.

A level 67 Battle Soul Emperor, and she really thought she was a Titled Douluo.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's provocative gaze,

then at the Sun Moon Team, united in appearance but divided at heart,

Luo Feng smiled!

"That's a tempting offer!"

"But I need to ask my wife first. After all, I've never hit a woman before!"

"You..."

Hearing Luo Feng's answer, Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt she was being toyed with.

But soon, Nan Qiuqiu stepped forward.

"A Feng, why don't we forfeit? These people have no honor!"

Hearing this exchange,

Meng Hongchen, who already refused to accept Ma Xiaotao's authority, began muttering behind her again.

"Ah, looks like I was right!"

"I can go back and rest now!"

Those words seemed to strike Ma Xiaotao right in her vulnerable spot.

They suddenly drove her into a frenzy!

Boom!

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!"

The next instant, crimson phoenix flames erupted from her body.

"Luo Feng, are you even a man?"

"Is everyone in your Dragon Gate a coward afraid of trouble?"

This was nothing more than a simple provocation.

Luo Feng would never fall for it.

But unexpectedly, Nan Qiuqiu beside him took the bait.

"What did you say? Every man in our Dragon Gate stands tall enough to hold up heaven!"

"Unlike you rats, who only deserve to hide in the darkness!"

Well, then!

Why did his wife explode at the slightest spark?

Now he had no choice but to fight.

"Hehe, fine!"

"Then get up here and fight me. Let me see just where your Earth Dragon Sect's backbone lies!"

"Fine! A Feng!"

"You go! Show this woman the depth of our Earth Dragon Sect's strength!"

Hearing his wife's words,

Luo Feng felt his head swell to twice its size.

The couple had been working together so well just a moment ago.

They had never intended to aim for first place.

Winning these few matches had already broken their record.

Yet now he had been herded onto the perch like an unwilling duck again!

"All right! Since my wife has spoken, let me experience your impressive skills!"

With that, Luo Feng stepped onto the arena with "a helpless expression."

"Hehe, I hear you had something to do with the deaths of those elders of ours. Show me how you did it!"

Sure enough, Ma Xiaotao had come with a mission.

The moment the two took their stances, the evil fire phoenix charged over like a missile.

"I hear your martial soul is a dragon king. Let's see whether my flames can roast you to a crisp!"

"Take my Phoenix Fire Line!"

She really did start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

With Ma Xiaotao's sharp cry,

the terrifying evil fire phoenix behind her instantly spewed a torrent of red-and-black evil fire.

With an unstoppable momentum, it surged toward Luo Feng to engulf him.

Dimly, one could even make out an enormous phantom phoenix.

It seemed about to cover the entire arena!

"Hehe, pretty fierce!"

"Behold my third soul skill, Heavenly Curtain Ceasefire!"

Faced with Ma Xiaotao's aggressive attack,

Luo Feng did not choose to withstand it head-on.

Instead, he used his spatial power to unleash his third soul skill, a defense comparable to absolute protection.

"Whoosh!"

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

Ma Xiaotao probably never would have dreamed

that her opponent could block the evil fire phoenix's first wave of attacks with such a simple move!

"You!"

"You're pretty tough!"

"But so what? This Saintess will burn you to ashes!"

"Take my Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike!"

As the saying went, before one wave subsided, another rose.

After becoming an Evil Soul Master,

Ma Xiaotao had cast aside the last scraps of kindness in her heart.

Instead, this made her like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.

She became utterly uncontrollable!

"Hahaha!"

"I'll burn you to death! I'll show you the consequences of offending our Holy Spirit Cult!"

Watching Luo Feng's figure get swallowed by evil fire once again,

Ma Xiaotao seemed to grow increasingly excited.

It was as though slaughter and battle were exquisite pleasures to her.

But just like the Phoenix Fire Line that had failed earlier,

this Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike did not seem to make much difference.

It was still blocked by Luo Feng's spatial defense!

Not even a corner of his clothes caught fire.

Meanwhile, using the flames as cover,

Luo Feng's right hand once again took the form of a jade dragon claw.

It pierced straight through the wall of fire and reached directly for Ma Xiaotao's face.

"What?"

"You won't die?"

"Hahaha, just what secrets are you hiding? Tell me!"

Although both attacks had come to nothing,

there was not the slightest trace of dejection on Ma Xiaotao's face.

Instead, she grew more and more deranged!

But mad as she was, Luo Feng had already seized the initiative!

"Sit down!"

As soon as he spoke, the jade-green dragon claw reached toward Ma Xiaotao's left shoulder.

Although this was Luo Feng's first soul skill,

it had previously snapped the necks of three Titled Douluos in succession.

But Ma Xiaotao's body was unimaginably agile!

What should have been a certain capture

was successfully evaded by Ma Xiaotao the instant the jade dragon claw touched her shoulder.

However, the claw tore away most of the gauzy fabric on her left side...

In an instant, her delicate, fair shoulder was exposed to the air.

The sight sent a wave of murmurs through the spectators in the stands.

"Oh, are there beauties like that among Evil Soul Masters too?"

"That girl has quite a figure!"

"A shame she's a little too fierce. Otherwise, marrying her would be a blessing!"

When she heard the people beside her talking,

Ma Xiaotao flew into a rage.

"Bastard! I, the Holy Maiden, will kill you!"

Meanwhile, seeing her husband tear another beauty's clothes...

Nan Qiuqiu stamped her feet, her face flushed bright red.

"You scoundrel, you did that on purpose, didn't you? Is this little phoenix really that pretty?"
