Book 3: Fusion of Martial Souls

Chapter 15.1: Three Months

The red-shirted woman was precisely the fire-type Soul Emperor that had nearly brought a calamity upon Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. If she really was as old as she looked, her talent had already reached a level that couldnt be described with the words extremely startling anymore.

Throughout the entire history of the Douluo Continent, even when the first soul masters had appeared, a twenty-year-old Soul Emperor could rank amongst the top in terms of talent; so much so that they could even be compared to Shrek Academys first generation Shreks Seven Monsters.

The aged voice belonged to the white-clothed elder whod brought her back. When she heard his question, the red-shirted girl, who was named Xiaotao, blankly shook her head. I dont remember anything except for a patch of red appearing in front of me. After that, I felt something life-threatening. I tried to resist, but after that, I woke up here....

The white-clothed elder furrowed his brow and walked up to her. He spoke in a low voice, Why didnt you tell me that you couldnt suppress the evil fire within your body? Arent you aware that you almost caused a calamity? Two students from the outer courtyard almost died to your evil fire.

Xiaotao was dazed. I... I didnt know that it would be this serious. I thought that I could control it. But.

The white-clothed elder let out a long sigh before saying, The longer you suppress it, the stronger itll be when it erupts. Xiaotao, from now on, postpone your cultivation. Even if youre the most outstanding genius Shrek Academy has had in the past several hundred years, you cant destroy yourself for the sake of the school. If the evil fire destroys your consciousness in the future, your teacher will regret it for the rest of his life.

Xiaotao stubbornly replied, No, teacher. I want to cultivate. I guarantee that it wont happen again in the future. I can even feel that the evilness and heat from the evil fire have been suppressed. There definitely wont be any problems in the near future. Its just what kind of power was actually able to suppress my Evil Phoenix Fire?

The white-clothed elder spoke with a thoughtful tone, Its an extreme, peak-level ice-type energy. Its purity far exceeds that of your Evil Phoenix Fire, and somewhat resembles the Absolute Frost Breath of the Ancient Ice Dragons. Its completely suppressed the Evil Phoenix Fires effects on your bodyfar more than any of the methods weve used.

Xiaotao asked with a doubtful tone, However, its simply impossible for it to be an Ancient Ice Dragon! Much less in our academy! Could it be someone whos infiltrated the academy?

The white-clothed elder shook his head and said, Ive already sent some people to investigate. I originally thought that it might have been some people from their families whod been sent to protect them, but after I investigated them, I discovered that that was impossible. Theyre called Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao is a special student from the Tang Sect, so I asked Bei Bei about him. He and Tang Ya met him in the Great Star Dou Forest, then brought him back with them. His talent is ordinary; hes even an orphan. Theres no way that an expert would follow him around and protect him. On the other hand, Wang Dong has quite a large background. However, his background isnt specialised in ice-type martial souls. As for the academy itself, Ive asked around several times. There are many students and teachers with ice-type martial souls, but a peak-level ice-type martial soul like this has never been spotted amongst any of them before. Its truly strange.

Xiao Tao replied, Teacher, forget about it. You dont need to continue investigating it.

The white-clothed elder spoke, This matter concerns your future, how could I not be worried? If I can at least find the person who possesses this ice-type martial soul, and if he turns out to be male, Ill let you be a couple with him. That way, youll be able to neutralise the negative effects brought about by the Evil Phoenix Fire within your body. Thats the only way that you can truly soar into the heavens in the future. However right now, youre completely restricted. Not only has your cultivation speed decreased, even your lifes at risk.

Xiaotaos charming face went red. I dont want to get married, much less to a person I dont like for the sake of his martial soul!

The white-clothed elder sighed. The problem is, your evil fire cant be restrained!

Xiaotao humphed and replied, Ill restrain it. I dont want to marry anyone!

The white-clothed elder said angrily, Ma Xiaotao, if you continue to be this unruly, I wont recognise you as a disciple anymore.

When Ma Xiaotao saw that the white-clothed elder was angry, she immediately began to behave. She proceeded to speak in an aggrieved tone, But, teacher I.

The white-clothed elder rubbed her head. Foolish girl. Your emotions can be cultivated, but you only have one life to live, let alone how much talent you have. No matter what, teacher will make sure that you find a good partner.

Nannan, I brought some roasted fish from that kid from yesterday. Dont worry, I didnt use any violent methods to obtain it. I queued up and bought it. Xu Sanshi spoke with a polite tone as he stood in front of Jiang Nannan, whod planned to walk to the canteen.

Jiang Nannan shook her head, No need, thank you.

Xu Sanshi probingly asked, Do you think I was too violent yesterday? Actually, Im not normally like that. Its just that, because of you, I Nannan, I know that you still hold a grudge against me because of what happened that time. But, couldnt our reunion at Shrek Academy be considered a sort of destiny? I really like you! I promise to be faithful to you until I die.

Jiang Nannan coldly replied, I remember telling you that wed take what we needed, then walk our separate ways after meeting that time. Theres no chance that anything will happen between the two of us. Xu Sanshi, youre a high and lofty noble, why do you have to bother a little woman like me? I cant even give you anything. Please dont interfere with my life in the future. If you continue, Ill report it to the school. Also, please dont bully other students because of me.

When she finished speaking, she turned around to walk away. However, she was blocked by Xu Sanshi, who angrily said, Me, bully other students? Dont you know how badly that Bei Bei bullied me? The person roasting fish yesterday was his junior brother, which he then used as an excuse to swindle me out of two Mysterious Water Pills! Tang Ya even shot a Dragon Beard Needle into my waist, thus I have a huge bruise there now! Just whats wrong with me? Youre not even willing to give me a chance.

Jiang Nannan coldly replied, You went to a place like that at such a young age, so whats can be so good about you? When she finished speaking, she turned around and left. This time, she directly jumped up, her three yellow soul rings immediately lighting up. Her ears seemed to faintly elongate and prick up, while her body appeared to become even more slender. She pushed off the ground with her legs, and appeared ten metres away, before rapidly running away without turning back.

As he gazed at her shrinking back, Xu Sanshi fell into a daze for a while. Afterwards, he fiercely bit off some of the roasted fish that he was holding. Xu Sanshi, youre such a loser. Whats so amazing about this? Ill eat it myself. Eh? This roasted fish tastes quite delicious.
