Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 199: Yan Shaozhe: My Life Story Is Like This!
Ma Xiaotao had never heard of the Soul Palace.
However, in her opinion, the so-called Soul Palace should be a hidden sect on the Douluo Continent.
There are many hidden sects on the Douluo Continent. Of course, not all of these sects are as powerful as the Clear Sky Sect.
Huo Yuhao said, "I just used some tricks. Since your problem has been temporarily resolved, there's nothing more for me to do here."
Ma Xiaotao said anxiously: "Wait! Xiao Yan, I need your help. Although my evil fire has been suppressed now, it could erupt again someday.
I beg you to stay. If you agree to my request, I will persuade my teacher to provide you with the necessary resources for soul master training."
Ma Xiaotao was confident in her words because she was very important to Shrek Academy. As long as she didn't die, she would enter the Sea God Pavilion in the future!
On one hand, this was due to her ancestral influence. As a descendant of Ma Hongjun, she had a very close relationship with Shrek Academy.
On the other hand, it was because of her talent.
You know, by age 20, she had already reached the level of Soul Emperor.
Even on the Douluo Continent, she was a rare existence.
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "I am not interested in the cultivation resources that Yan Shaozhe might give me, and I won't stay in Shrek Academy to be your personal physician."
Ma Xiaotao's face suddenly showed disappointment. But she was a proud and overbearing person, and it was impossible for her to keep begging Huo Yuhao.
So, she slowly stood up, looked at Huo Yuhao, and asked, "Then how can you stay?"
Although she didn't know much about the situation of the Soul Palace, she knew that some hidden sects were struggling, and the Soul Palace should be one of them.
People from hidden sects had begun to step out rather than remaining hidden. What did this mean? She thought she knew better than anyone.
"If you are willing to convince the top leaders of the Soul Palace to cooperate with Shrek Academy, I can help facilitate that, so you and your teachers can benefit greatly."
Huo Yuhao shook his head again. The so-called Soul Palace was just an identity he casually mentioned. It originated from Doupo. Well, Ma Xiaotao probably couldn't truly cooperate with the real Soul Palace across worlds.
Ma Xiaotao subconsciously clenched her fists. To be honest, she didn't want to experience the feeling of being eroded by evil fire again. Since awakening her martial soul, she had been troubled by her Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul.
Admittedly, this martial soul was very strong, but it also had significant flaws.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Ling Luochen, who was still present, and thought for a moment before sending a message to Ma Xiaotao: "Your evil fire is now suppressed by me. It will erupt again in about thirty days. I will continue to suppress it then.
Of course, there is a condition: you must read 'The Love Story of the Shrek Seven Devils' every day, and leave this book on your bedside when you go to sleep at night."
Due to the popularity of Shrek Academy, books related to the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils are very popular on the Douluo Continent.
"The Love Story of the Shrek Seven Devils" is one of the best-selling books.
This book mainly narrates the story of the righteous and brave Tang San, who, despite difficulties, led his companions to overthrow the evil Spirit Hall, save Douluo Continent, and find love with his friends.
Ma Hongjun had been depressed because Bai Chenxiang failed to ascend to the God Realm, and he missed her very much.
Moreover, one day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the Underworld. With Ma Hongjun's personality, he would look down from the God Realm to see his descendants.
As long as Ma Hongjun sees Ma Xiaotao and reads "The Love Story of the Shrek Seven Devils," he will likely feel unbalanced.
Because among the Seven Devils, the others are paired, and only he ascended alone to the God Realm.
Electrolux cannot enter the Underworld to retrieve Bai Chenxiang's soul now. Huo Yuhao can only make plans, trying to guide Ma Hongjun's inner emotions and prepare for future efforts to alienate the Seven Devils.
In the future, he could attempt to retrieve Bai Chenxiang's soul—of course, only if her soul is still alive.
"The Love Story of the Shrek Seven Devils." Ma Xiaotao was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she decided to buy a copy later.
"But how should I meet you before the evil fire erupts?" she asked.
"I will come here in person at a fixed time. Of course, don't tell anyone else about this—not even your teacher," Huo Yuhao explained briefly.
He had the help of his plane consciousness. Even if the plane consciousness couldn't directly kill enemies for safety, it was excellent at space manipulation, and there was no issue in teleporting Huo Yuhao to the Golden Tree.
Ma Xiaotao nodded. There was no other choice. She finally found hope to suppress her evil fire, so she naturally agreed with Huo Yuhao's plan.
Afterward, Huo Yuhao talked with Ma Xiaotao for a while, then wrote a letter and handed it to her, saying it was to be delivered to Yan Shaozhe. The main content concerned Yan Shaozhe's background.
Soon, Huo Yuhao left Shrek Academy with the help of plane consciousness.
Later, Yan Shaozhe arrived near the Sea God Pavilion. He intended to practice in seclusion for a while, feeling that his strength was insufficient. Soon, he saw a charred ground with some deep pits.
"It seems someone fought here. The battle must have been intense. Could it be that Xiaotao's evil fire couldn't be suppressed again?" Yan Shaozhe's heart tightened.
Ma Xiaotao saw Yan Shaozhe's figure and immediately flapped her wings, coming over with Ling Luochen.
"Xiaotao? Luochen?" Yan Shaozhe frowned when he saw them. "The signs of fighting here..."
"Dean, it's like this," Ling Luochen began, explaining the origins of the fight, mentioning the Soul Palace's Xiao Yan. After a moment, Yan Shaozhe reached out and pressed his hand on Ma Xiaotao's shoulder. His soul power surged, quickly confirming that Ma Xiaotao was in good condition.
"That Xiao Yan of the Soul Hall is really capable. He can even suppress the evil fire that we are helpless against. He's a rare talent," Yan Shaozhe praised.
"However, Ling Luochen, you said he wrote a letter to Xiaotao and asked her to give it to me?"
"Yes," Ling Luochen nodded, looking at Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao immediately handed the letter to Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe quickly began to read it.
As he read, his expression darkened, and his mind churned.
'According to the letter, I am a descendant of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. Ye Xishui was someone the teacher liked when he was young, and Long Xiaoyao was his close friend. How could I be their descendant?'
Moreover, Ye Xishui was the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Church. This meant he might be the descendant of the leader of the evil soul masters!
His fist clenched subconsciously. As the dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek, he was supposed to be a symbol of light and justice. But now, reading this, he believed he might be the descendant of the leader of the evil soul master. If this information were confirmed and publicized, it would cause immense criticism.
The reputation of the academy would be severely affected. Everyone wanted to fight against evil soul masters.
"No, this can't be true. It's fake," Yan Shaozhe muttered, taking a deep breath and continuing to read.
When he saw that the letter even mentioned his past romantic relationships with Feng Ling and Xian Lin'er, he hesitated.
But when he saw the words, "Baby Yan Shaozhe was picked up by Mu En at the entrance of the academy," his heart skipped a beat. That was an extremely secretive detail. Logically, only he, Mu En, and Xuan Zi should know about it.
'Could the contents of the letter be true? But why did they abandon me? Can't the two Ultimate Douluo protect me alone?' Yan Shaozhe was confused.
He thought for a moment. He decided this matter should remain secret; otherwise, he might not be able to become the head of the Sea God Pavilion in the future.
Even if Mu En didn't care, Xuan Zi would be concerned.
