Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck!

"That Tang Lan is always so arrogant, and now he's even setting his sights on Ma Xiaotao! He's completely out of control!"

Another mentor spoke angrily, his hands clenched into fists, as if he wanted to go up and teach Tang Lan a lesson right away.

They all looked at Shrek Academy Dean Yan Shaozhe, their eyes filled with anticipation.

We hope he can step forward and take charge.

"Dean, you have to make a decision. We can't let this continue."

One of the more impatient tutors couldn't help but speak, looking anxiously at Yan Shaozhe.

His eyes were filled with anxiety and pleading, as if Yan Shaozhe was their last lifeline.

"Dean, Tang Lan is far too arrogant and must be restrained."

Another mentor chimed in, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

His brows were furrowed, as if he were worried about the future of the academy.

All eyes were fixed on Yan Shaozhe, awaiting his decision.

The atmosphere at the scene became unusually tense and oppressive.

Yan Shaozhe, as the dean of Shrek Academy, is highly respected and authoritative, and is also Ma Xiaotao's teacher.

He knew Ma Xiaotao's personality and situation very well.

If he were to speak, his status and prestige would naturally allow Ma Xiaotao to refuse.

And everyone thought that Yan Shaozhe would make Ma Xiaotao refuse.

In their view, Dean Yan Shaozhe has always placed great emphasis on the college's atmosphere and discipline.

Anything that could affect students' focus on their studies and the academy's reputation will certainly be prevented.

But to everyone's surprise, Yan Shaozhe smiled and said:

"What's wrong with Xiaotao and Tang Lan?"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide and mouths slightly agape, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

"Dean, what's wrong...?"

One of the instructors, looking utterly bewildered, couldn't help but ask.

"Why, is everyone so surprised?"

Yan Shaozhe still wore a smile, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his eyes revealing a profound meaning that was hard to fathom.

"This...how can this not be surprising, Dean!"

Another student stammered, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep confusion and shock.

The whole scene descended into chaos and confusion.

One mentor spoke up directly:

"Dean, Tang Lan has an improper conduct. His behavior is frivolous and he is constantly involved in scandals."

"He often flirted with many female students in the academy, behaving in an ambiguous manner, showing no sign of dignity or composure."

"If Xiao Tao follows her, it will be extremely detrimental to her future development! Not to mention that it will affect Xiao Tao's cultivation state of mind, the rumors and gossip from the outside world alone will be enough to put Xiao Tao under tremendous pressure."

"Those rumors and gossip will be like invisible shackles, tightly binding Xiaotao's steps forward."

"Xiao Tao has exceptional talent and excellent physique, giving her a unique advantage in the path of cultivation."

"Her future should have been bright, with limitless potential. How could she let something like this ruin her future!"

"This is undoubtedly throwing a bright pearl into a murky swamp."

"That's right, Dean. Tang Lan has several women around him now. He's juggling many women, and his love life is a complete mess."

"If Xiao Tao goes with him, she will definitely be deeply entangled in emotional turmoil and unable to extricate herself."

"This will not only distract Xiao Tao, preventing her from fully devoting herself to cultivation, but may also cause a lot of unnecessary disputes and troubles."

"Xiao Tao should be single-mindedly pursuing higher levels of martial arts and realizing her own value in life. She must not get caught up in such a complicated and chaotic emotional quagmire because of Tang Lan, thus losing her way and wasting her talent, Dean!"

As Yan Shaozhe listened to his mentors' urgent words, the smile on his face faded slightly, and his gaze became deep.

He slowly began to speak: "Please don't be hasty, everyone. This matter may not be as simple as you think."

"Dean, isn't this obvious? Anyone with eyes can see the problem!" one of the instructors said emotionally.

Yan Shaozhe waved his hand and said, "Although Tang Lan's usual style is somewhat unconventional, his talent and potential are undeniable. Perhaps he can provide Xiao Tao with some unexpected help."

"Dean, you're taking a risk! Xiao Tao is our academy's rising star; how can you so easily place her in such an uncertain situation?"

Another mentor said with concern.

The latest novel is first published here!

Yan Shaozhe pondered for a moment and said:

"It's not that I don't care about Xiao Tao's future, but sometimes, breaking the rules can bring unexpected opportunities. Let's see if Tang Lan can really keep his promise and solve Xiao Tao's problem of 'evil fire'. If he can, it might not be a bad thing for Xiao Tao."

The mentors, upon hearing this, still looked unconvinced.

However, due to the dean's insistence, they could only suppress their worries for the time being and wait for things to develop further.

Yan Shaozhe's gaze fell on Tang Lan, his eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

He was also eager to know what method Tang Lan had to resolve Ma Xiaotao's problem of "evil fire".

He racked his brains and tried every possible method to help Ma Xiaotao solve this problem.

He consulted countless ancient books and secret manuals, and sought guidance from many experienced masters.

They tried all sorts of rare herbs and elixirs.

He even personally devised a series of special cultivation plans for Ma Xiaotao, but all of them ultimately failed.

They even sought help from Elder Mu, a highly respected and accomplished scholar in the academy.

Even a peerless master like Elder Mu had no solution.

He spent a great deal of time and energy on this, becoming completely exhausted.

After repeated failures, he had completely given up.

Now Tang Lan confidently asserts that she has a solution.

This gave Yan Shaozhe both a glimmer of hope and a deep sense of suspicion, wondering what abilities this seemingly arrogant young man possessed.

It is ridiculous to place one's hopes on a mere second-ring Grand Soul Master.

After all, even many senior instructors and highly skilled seniors in the academy were helpless in dealing with the problem of evil fire that Ma Xiaotao was facing.

What can a second-ring Soul Master with such low cultivation achieve?

This is as absurd as entrusting the heavy responsibility of saving the world to an ignorant child.

But now Yan Shaozhe has no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

After experiencing disappointment and setback after setback, he had no other choice. All conventional methods had been tried.

We've tried every possible approach, but we're still clueless.

At this moment, he was like a traveler lost in the darkness, clinging tightly to even the faintest glimmer of light as his last lifeline. (End of Chapter)
