Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 55 The Good Cop and the Bad Cop

Before coming, Yan Shaozhe had already found Huo Yuhao's information again from the freshmen's files.

Good heavens, it's actually a pair of martial souls! The second martial soul, the ultimate ice martial soul, was actually hidden.

As for the first martial soul, the Spirit Eye, it is a spiritual attribute.

Yan Shaozhe initially had a subconscious suspicion that this might be the personal disciple that Xian Lin'er mentioned at the Sea God Pavilion meeting.

But then I thought about it again and realized it was unlikely.

Xian Lin'er said that her disciple was not even twelve years old, but was already a level three soul master.

If it really is the same person, then this child cannot be described as just a "monster," he is practically a prodigy.

Of course, Yan Shaozhe also subconsciously didn't want Huo Yuhao to be Xian Lin'er's disciple. If Huo Yuhao were Xian Lin'er's disciple, then it would probably be much more difficult for Xiao Tao and him to take things further.

"Xiao Tao, that Huo Yuhao is a first-year student, and he possesses an extremely rare ultimate ice martial soul." Cai Meier didn't keep Ma Xiao Tao in suspense and answered her question directly in a gentle voice.

"Ultimate Ice?" Ma Xiaotao was taken aback at first, then seemed to suddenly realize something. She broke free from Cai Meier's embrace and stood up again. "Teacher, mistress, I will not marry someone I don't like just because of my martial soul."

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's stubborn reaction, Yan Shaozhe pretended to be angry and said, "Ma Xiaotao, don't be ridiculous. Do you know how lucky you are to have met a man with an ultimate ice attribute martial soul!"

Making him your partner is currently the only way to completely resolve the negative effects of the Evil Phoenix Martial Soul within you.

Only then can you break free from these shackles and truly soar to new heights in the future. Right now, you are completely controlled by the evil fire. Not only is your cultivation speed greatly affected, but your life is also in constant danger.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was tightly pursing her lips and remaining unmoved. His tone softened slightly, and he sighed again: "Besides, even if you want to take the initiative to approach others, they might not be willing to pay attention to you. You should know that Huo Yuhao is Ling Luochen's younger brother."

"Ling Luochen's younger brother?" Ma Xiaotao's already displeased face immediately froze.

Her relationship with Ling Luochen was indeed not good. If she were to take the initiative to contact his younger brother, she would probably be met with indifference, just as the teacher said.

"Yan Shaozhe, what are you saying?" Cai Meier glared at Yan Shaozhe with a hint of reproach. "How can you treat Xiao Tao's lifelong happiness like a game? Besides, how is our Xiao Tao any less than that Ling Luochen?"

As she spoke, she took Ma Xiaotao's hand again and said gently, "Alright, Xiaotao, don't listen to your teacher's nonsense. With your teacher's wife here, no one can force you to do something you don't want to do."

Seeing the two women in front of him "becoming" affectionate again, Yan Shaozhe's face darkened, and he said helplessly, "Mei'er, don't always spoil Xiao Tao like this."

Cai Meier said matter-of-factly, "Xiao Tao is like my own daughter. If I don't spoil her, who else should I spoil?"

"Okay, Xiaotao. I promise you, I won't let you marry someone you don't like. But Xiaotao, you also have to promise me one thing."

"Once Huo Yuhao moves into the inner courtyard, you should take the initiative to approach him. Even if it's just to have him occasionally help you suppress your inner fire, it will keep it calm for several months. Understand, Xiao Tao?"

Although Yan Shaozhe's face remained stern, his tone softened considerably.

Ma Xiaotao wanted to protest a few more times, but seeing the look Cai Meier gave her, she finally lowered her head and softly replied, "Okay."

Seeing that she had given in, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't happened to be Ling Luochen's "younger brother," they wouldn't have had to bother playing these good cop/bad cop roles.

However, the fact that Ma Xiaotao took the initiative to approach Huo Yuhao was already a successful first step.

Then, letting them gradually develop feelings for each other will be a natural progression.

……

Office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

After class at noon, Huo Yuhao, who was originally worried about Wang Dong'er's duel, was unexpectedly "rescued" by Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe, who was blocked at the entrance of Class 9, was taken to the office.

Just listening to the old man in front of me talking non-stop.

From the praise for rescuing Ma Xiaotao in the morning to the affirmation of his talent in defeating Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao was somewhat distracted.

He even began to think that perhaps the right choice would be to go back and accept Wang Dong'er's duel, and then "beat" her up.

Yan Shaozhe looked at the calm-faced young man in front of him, who remained unfazed by his words of praise, and became more and more satisfied.

You should know that he is the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, and he holds a pivotal position and prestige in the entire Soul Master world of Douluo Continent.

If it were any other teenager of the same age, being praised like that would probably have made them completely disoriented.

It is precisely such a talented young man who is a suitable match for his wife, Ma Xiaotao.

Yan Shaozhe picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and finally got to the point, saying seriously:

"Huo Yuhao, this morning I witnessed the performance of your martial soul. If I'm not mistaken, you possess the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul?"

He stared intently at Huo Yuhao, "As the owner of an ultimate martial soul, I dare say that in the entire Douluo Continent, the only one with the ability and qualifications to teach ultimate martial soul masters is the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy."

If you are willing, from this moment on, you will be an inner disciple of the Martial Soul Department. I will personally teach you cultivation.

Even though cultivating an ultimate martial soul becomes slower after level 30, I believe that with your talent, I am absolutely confident that I can help you become a Title Douluo before you turn forty.

Upon hearing these words, Huo Yuhao subconsciously frowned.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe simply smiled and took out three items from his storage soul tool and placed them on the table.

One of them was an inner court student badge similar to the one Ling Luochen had given to Huo Yuhao before.

The other item was a transparent crystal bottle containing a walnut-sized, emerald-green pill. The pill had a faint halo of light flowing across its surface, making it crystal clear.

The last item was a brown leather bag with some ice-blue patterns on its surface.

"Huo Yuhao, this is the compensation the academy is giving you for the accident that happened this morning."

Yan Shaozhe pointed to the items on the table and explained, "As for the compensation for Ling Luochen, it has already been sent over by a teacher from the college, so you don't need to worry."

This pill, called the Soul Ascension Pill, is extremely precious; the academy's annual production wouldn't exceed twenty. Inside the pouch was a 50,000-year-old right leg bone of an Icefield Wolf King. As for the badge, it served as identification for inner court students.

Yan Shaozhe added, "Of course, getting this badge now only means you can enjoy the benefits and treatment of inner court students in advance. To truly become a member of the inner court, you still need to pass the academy's formal assessment."
