Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 68: Once a promise is made, nothing can stop it
Yuwen Tuo held up two fingers and said, "Two conditions. If you agree, I will help her."

Yan Shaozhe said, "Okay, you say it!"

"The first is compensation. You know, every time I help Ma Xiaotao practice, my soul power will be greatly reduced. The next one will probably be the last, and the most critical one. The consumption of my soul power will be much greater than before. So, I want three soul-raising pills and a high-level soul bone that is more than 50,000 years old as compensation. It should not be too much, right?" Yuwen Tuo proposed the first condition.

Although with his current concentrated soul power, even Ma Xiaotao probably wouldn't be able to absorb much, but that didn't stop him from speaking more seriously.

Yan Shaozhe agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the Soul Ascension Pill and Soul Bone to you right away."

He had originally planned to give Yuwen Tuo two Soul-Upgrading Pills, and now it was just one more, which he could afford.

Moreover, a person can only take one Soul-Upgrading Pill in his lifetime, and the second one will be useless. If Yuwen Tuo wants more, it must be prepared for his friends, Xiaoxiao, Cao Jinxuan or Lianyue, anyway, they are all Shrek's people, so Shrek will not lose out no matter who takes it.

A fifty thousand year old soul bone is indeed very precious, but compared to a Soul Saint with ultimate attributes above level seventy, it is so insignificant.

After all, once a soul master with an ultimate martial soul breaks through level 70, that would be a huge concept.

Firstly, Ma Xiaotao's strength at that time could even compete with Titled Douluo. Secondly, after reaching level 70 of the Ultimate Martial Soul, it is a period of rapid cultivation. Ma Xiaotao's cultivation speed will surpass that of a soul master with innate full soul power. In just a few years, he will be able to achieve Titled Douluo.

This deal is not a loss.

Yuwen Tuo extended his second finger. "Second condition: I agree to help Ma Xiaotao, but after a month, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire will have been 90% resolved, and she will be fine in the short term. Let her wait another month, and during this month, I want you to let me out of Shrek."

Yan Shaozhe approached Yuwen Tuo, put his hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Boy, do you think you can get something for nothing from me? If I let you out of Shrek, how can I know if you will just leave and never come back?"

Yuwen Tuo smiled and said, "Haha, it's very simple. As a Super Douluo, you shouldn't be unable to use a simple method like Dark Energy. You can also send someone to watch over me, but I only accept Sister Luochen as the only person in the Inner Court whom I don't dislike."

"Boy, what do you want to do in this month?" Yan Shaozhe did not agree immediately, but asked.

"I haven't been home for a long time. I've been trapped in a small room for six years. The New Year is coming soon. I want to go back home, visit my family's graves, and take a look around." Yuwen Tuo said. He was not lying.

He does have his own plans, but tomb sweeping is also real. He hasn't visited his grandparents, uncles and aunts in six years. He can be said to be unfilial.

Ling Luochen stepped forward at the right moment and pleaded, "Dean, please agree to Xiaotuo's request. Shrek has trapped him for too long. He just needs a month. I promise, I will go with him and protect him well. I will definitely bring him back safely within a month."

This was something she had already agreed upon with Yuwen Tuo. Since Yuwen Tuo won the freshman champion title, she had to help.

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but reveal a trace of guilt. After all, it was indeed Shrek who had let Yuwen Tuo down in this matter.

For six whole years, he was not even given a chance to pay homage to his family.

Looking back at Ma Xiaotao's tightly closed door, although Ma Xiaotao could not come out because she was worried that the evil fire would break out again, it was true that 90% of the evil fire on her body had been purified.

She would be fine within six months, let alone a month. She was simply worried about triggering the evil fire again, and didn't dare to rush through to level seventy. "Alright!" Yan Shaozhe's palm radiated light, and he suddenly turned and struck Yuwen Tuo in the chest. Though it didn't appear to cause any damage, he continued, "Remember, come back within a month and you'll be fine."

He agreed, but since it involved his own disciple, he had to be on guard.

What he had just injected into Yuwen Tuo's body was a hidden force. It would not cause any problems within a month, but after more than a month, it would explode and break Yuwen Tuo's heart.

This dark energy contains his power of the Phoenix of Light, and he is the only one in the entire continent who can release it.

If Yuwen Tuo doesn't want to die, he must come back on time.

"Very good, then the deal is established. I will definitely return on time within a month. Once the agreement is made, nothing can stop us." Yuwen Tuo promised.

"Thank you, Dean!" Ling Luochen thanked Yan Shaozhe and left the inner courtyard with Yuwen Tuo.

Cai Meir walked out of Ma Xiaotao's room. She had been taking care of Ma Xiaotao in there and had successfully suppressed the evil fire that might relapse.

"I didn't expect that you would actually agree to let him go for a month." Cai Meir said with some surprise.

"Alas, I have no choice." Yan Shaozhe sighed heavily, "I let him go for many reasons. First, the flames of this little ghost are now so condensed that they are impenetrable. Even if it is me, it may be effortless to kill him, but if I want to forcibly use his flames like before, it is no longer possible. His martial spirit has no loopholes to exploit. Therefore, if Xiaotao is to be saved, it can only rely on his willingness. I didn't expect that six years of evil fire forging not only did not pollute his pure fire, but also made it so pure and condensed. Secondly, I did see determination in Yuwen Tuo's eyes just now. He would rather die than live in disgrace this time. He was not joking. After all, he is a child. Six years have stretched his nerves to a limit. I can't force him anymore, otherwise, both sides will be destroyed. If he dies, Xiaotao will be trapped by the evil fire forever. This is what I don't want to see."

"Third, for six whole years, I haven't allowed him to visit his family once. I'm really sorry for him. His request is reasonable. Besides, Xiao Tao has enough time. Yu Wentuo has Luo Chen watching over him. With my hidden power threat, I don't think there will be any problems. Fourth, although he only allows Luo Chen to accompany him, that's only on the surface. In secret, I can still send people to follow and protect him."

"Is forcing a child into this state really the way we at Shrek should behave?" Cai Meir shook her head. "Shaozhe, I'll send someone to deliver what the child needs. You don't need to see him again."

Although she felt pity for Yuwen Tuo, she felt even more distressed for her husband. If Xiaotao hadn't been in this situation, she knew her husband would not have forced a child like this. She thought that in the past few years, he would inevitably be condemned by his conscience, and he might even develop a mental demon in the future.

She felt sorry for Yuwen Tuo and loved her husband, and would never betray him, so she could only try her best to choose better quality soul-raising pills and soul bones for Yuwen Tuo as compensation.

The next day, early in the morning.

After getting up early and having breakfast, everyone came to the classroom early. From the moment Yuwen Tuo left the room until now, today is the last day of the semester and also the day of vacation.

Zhou Yi warned, "Everyone, even though we're on vacation, don't think you can have an easy time. Remember, Shrek has the highest elimination rate of all the academies on the continent. That's because we don't retain elites, we retain 'monsters.' Next year, there will be an upgrade assessment, and it's about actual combat. If you overdo it during the vacation and forget how to fight, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Also, all freshmen who wish to advance to the second grade must reach level 20 and obtain a second spirit ring. Those who haven't reached the second ring yet need to work harder."

She said this almost specifically for Huo Yuhao to hear. After several months of training, he was the only one in the class who had not yet reached the second ring.

The class monitor's rank is the lowest in the class. Because of this incident, Class 1 has always been ridiculed by other classes.
