Chapter 20 Ridiculous
Just when the third stick was about to be swung, Wang Nan finally stopped, because he saw that Ma Xiaotao's eyes had regained their spirits, and she must have come to her senses.
Ma Xiaotao first looked at herself, then looked at Wang Nan in front of her, and immediately realized that her evil fire had flared up again, so she quickly withdrew her hand and looked at Yan Shaozhe beside her in confusion.
"I'm sorry." Yan Shaozhe apologized to Wang Nan, "Before this, I wasn't completely sure that your martial spirit could suppress the evil spirit in Xiaotao's martial spirit, so I kept a lot from you. But now, I think I should tell you the whole story."
After hearing what Yan Shaozhe said and recalling the words of the Pavilion Master in Jubao Pavilion, Wang Nan had figured out everything.
There is no such thing as a teacher with profound cultivation who "just happens" to have time and can "by the way" help you get a spirit ring. These are all planned in advance.
It should be during the battle between him and Ji Tongxuan that Yan Shaozhe saw that he had a restraining effect on the abilities of evil soul masters, so he arranged this trip so that he could take this opportunity to try to suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.
Yan Shaozhe naturally didn't know what Wang Nan was thinking, and continued to explain, "I am Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Wuhun Department, and Xiaotao is my direct disciple. As you can see, her Wuhun is the Evil Fire Phoenix. She has been plagued by evil spirits since she was a child. Therefore, although she is extremely talented, she cannot practice for a long time."
"As her soul power grows, the evil energy in Xiao Tao's body becomes more and more serious. I have tried many methods before, but the effect is minimal. In the end, I can only ask soul masters with ice or water attribute martial spirits to help her suppress it. In the final of this year's freshman assessment, I saw your performance, so I made this attempt."
"These are my compensations to you. I'm sorry for hiding this from you. Also, I hope you can keep Xiao Tao's matter a secret." Yan Shaozhe said, taking out a few bottles of pills from the storage soul guide. Although Wang Nan didn't know what these were, they were definitely not ordinary items.
"Finally, there is one more thing." Yan Shaozhe hesitated for a while before slowly speaking, "I hope you can help Xiaotao practice in the future."
"This is not my request as the dean of the Wuhun Department, but a request I make to you as Xiaotao's teacher, Xiaotao's...adoptive father. I don't want to see this child's talent go to waste, nor do I want her to suffer because of her Wuhun."
"If you can agree, I will prepare for you the same training resources as Xiao Tao every year until you reach Soul Saint. In addition, I can also do my best for you once without harming the interests of Shrek."
Yan Shaozhe's promise was not to be underestimated. A super Douluo's full-strength attack could at least guarantee a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year spirit bone.
In fact, as a Super Douluo and the Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe did not need to apologize, compensate, or make promises to Wang Nan. He could just use some threats and inducements to get Wang Nan to take action.
But Yan Shaozhe had other ideas in his mind that he didn't say clearly. In order to completely solve the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao, besides the Ultimate Ice, the biggest hope was Wang Nan.
Soul masters who possessed ultimate ice were rare in the world, and Wang Nan, who was right in front of him, happened to be only two years younger than Ma Xiaotao, so he intended to let the two children develop feelings for each other.
Therefore, he didn't want Wang Nan to have any grudge against him because of this incident.
Wang Nan's expression at this moment was very interesting. When he first knew the truth, he also felt a little resentful of being plotted against. If it were someone with a bad temper, he would probably shout "There is already a way to die" while fighting with Yan Shaozhe.
But Wang Nan was stunned by Yan Shaozhe's next words. The cultivation resources and the promise of help, if Wang Nan hadn't concealed something from him before, he would have thought Yan Shaozhe was a kind person.
No matter what, the third soul ring is already in hand, and there is no harm in helping Ma Xiaotao. Besides, the resources promised by Yan Shaozhe are real. After thinking about it, Wang Nan agreed.
"Dean Yan, I agree to this."
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's face was obviously relaxed. Ma Xiaotao, who was standing next to him, had just recovered from her martial spirit's rampage, and her mind was still a little confused. When she came to her senses, she found that she didn't have to worry about her martial spirit anymore.
……
Poseidon Island, in front of Poseidon Pavilion.
Moon was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun as usual, and next to him was Yan Shaozhe who had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Teacher, I'm back."
"You're back, how's the kid?"
"I was just about to tell you that Wang Nan's martial spirit has a natural restraint on evil spirit masters. Just like the previous two times, Xiao Tao's martial spirit also went berserk when she absorbed the third spirit ring, but she quickly recovered during the fight with Wang Nan."
At this point, Yan Shaozhe spoke a little faster, "This shows that Shrek's records are correct. The Coiled Dragon Stick can help Xiaotao dispel the evil fire. In the long run, perhaps Xiaotao's martial spirit will become a real fire phoenix."
"Alas." After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Moon suddenly sighed, "What else?"
Yan Shaozhe did not notice that Moon's face was becoming ugly, and continued, "He is the same age as Xiaotao. I want him and Xiaotao to be a good match. In this way, Xiaotao will not be restricted by the martial spirit at all. Maybe we at Shrek will get the first Soul Saint before the age of 20 in history."
"Ridiculous!" Moon growled and started coughing.
"Teacher, are you okay?"
"Ahem, it's okay. Don't mention this matter again. I'm a little tired. You can go back first."
Yan Shaozhe looked at Moon En's old face, and wanted to say something several times, but in the end he said nothing and turned and left.
Looking at Yan Shaozhe's back, Moon slowly opened his eyes, which were full of worry. As an Extreme Douluo, he knew his physical condition very well. Even if he stayed in Shrek to recuperate, he would only have less than 20 years left.
However, his most promising disciple, Yan Shaozhe, although capable, was short-sighted and stubborn, and had not made any progress in decades as the dean of the Wuhun Department. He asked Yan Shaozhe to contact Wang Nan, intending to see Wang Nan's talent, but Yan Shaozhe's mind was all on Ma Xiaotao.
With such a flaw, how could Moon feel comfortable handing Shrek Academy over to him?
"Alas." Moon sighed again.
The conflict between soul masters and soul beasts is gradually intensifying, and the Sun-Moon Empire is eyeing them covetously. If Shrek wants to continue to gain a foothold in Douluo Continent, it must have an outstanding leader. Both strength and vision are indispensable.
In just over ten years, can he really find such an heir?
