Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 55 Defining the Evil Soul Master

"Huo Yuhao, you've really been a long time coming—"

For the first time, Ning Tian and the other freshmen from the School of Foreign Languages ​​experienced the extent of Ma Xiaotao's barbarity and unreasonableness when she was consumed by jealousy.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

Ma Xiaotao's wings suddenly spread open, and a red light accompanied by the black light of her sixth soul ring burst forth. In an instant, starting from her, a large area of ​​the surrounding space was illuminated red, and huge golden-red fireballs with a diameter of more than one meter fell from the sky, covering the entire cafeteria.

"That crazy woman!" Huo Yuhao's lips twitched violently. If he let this move come down, he might be able to dodge it with his third soul skill, but the others would likely suffer. She might even tear down the cafeteria!

Despite the rapid progress his companions have made in the past few months, the huge gap in their levels leaves Ning Tian and the others powerless to fight back.

They're only newcomers at the second or third ring level! Even the fourth-ring Evil Illusion Moon's martial soul is completely countered by the Ultimate Fire in terms of its characteristics!

"Amaterasu!"

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to concentrate all his soul power on his left eye. The dark flames spread from the point where Huo Yuhao focused his gaze, instantly turning into a raging sea of ​​fire that intercepted Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul skill.

"What kind of flame is this?" Ma Xiaotao realized that she had gone a bit too far and was about to stop, but she was soon captivated by the flame skills used by Huo Yuhao.

"The Eight Treasures are famous, and the third is power!" At this moment, Ning Tian and the others arrived to assist. Wu Feng Dragon Fire, Dragon Fury, and Dragon Explosion were unleashed at the same time. Amplified by the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda, her burst power approached that of a Soul King.

Cui Yajie's face turned ashen. She immediately donned the Celestial Fox Armor and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Ash Bones with both hands as a gesture of goodwill.

Knowing full well that his martial soul was afraid of fire, Xie Huanyue recklessly activated his fourth soul skill and charged towards the Phoenix Meteor Shower.

The war is about to start.

"Stop right there!" A powerful voice suddenly echoed throughout the cafeteria. At the center of the energy collision, a figure appeared out of thin air. He raised his hands with lightning speed, and nine spirit rings slowly rose up. He was a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level.

With a clear phoenix cry, all the attacks unleashed by both sides were intercepted and neutralized by that figure with its powerful soul force.

This guy is amazing!

On Huo Yuhao's side, everyone was shocked. To neutralize so many attacks so easily, this person must be one of the strongest even among the titled Douluo.

"Teacher!" Ma Xiaotao quickly put away her martial spirit and bowed to the white-robed old man.

Ma Xiaotao's teacher? Mingfeng Douluo Yan Shaozhe? Huo Yuhao's eyes darted around, and he immediately guessed the identity of the visitor.

"Xiao Tao, this is the outer academy cafeteria of Shrek Academy. How can you act so recklessly here?" Yan Shaozhe said sternly, his hands behind his back.

"Teacher, I know I was wrong." A hint of resentment flashed in Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes, but she still sincerely apologized to Yan Shaozhe.

"You lot, come with me. Humph!" Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly and stormed out of the cafeteria.

Huo Yuhao gave his companions a look, signaling them to calm down, and then followed them out.

Xie Huanyue, Ning Tian, ​​and the others glared at Ma Xiaotao, but they couldn't retaliate at this point, so they could only follow her out.

Both sides that instigated the incident were quickly taken away, leaving behind only a group of outer court students who had survived the ordeal.

"That young man is quite something." Just as the other onlookers were discussing, Xu Sanshi turned his gaze to the direction Huo Yuhao had left and said with a smile, "To be able to block Sister Xiaotao's Phoenix Meteor Shower with only three rings of strength, even with the help of a support-type Soul Master, is something to be proud of."

"Is Huo Yuhao that strong?" Xiao Xiao, sitting in her seat, was puzzled. The series of events had unfolded too quickly for her to see what was happening between the two sides.

"Yes, she is indeed very strong." Bei Bei's expression was solemn. "If that junior hadn't stopped Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul skill, the others probably wouldn't have had time to counterattack."

"That person looks familiar, isn't he one of our freshmen?" Xiao Xiao looked worried. "I heard he's Huo Yuhao, the scumbag from Class 9."

"Pah! I hate scumbags the most!" Wang Dong scoffed. "Once the freshman assessment starts, I'll definitely beat him to a pulp!"

"Haha, our Xiaodong is still the most courageous!" Xu Sanshi laughed heartily, but he didn't want to say it outright. Although Wang Dong's twin martial souls were strong and his overall strength was comparable to a three-ring Soul Master, he definitely couldn't withstand a single Phoenix Meteor Shower from Ma Xiaotao.

"That's right, Xiao Dong, remember to use our Tang Clan's secret techniques to defeat him in the assessment!" Tang Ya had high hopes for the exceptionally talented Wang Dong and cheered him on, while also promoting their Tang Clan's secret techniques.

"Of course!" Wang Dong had already begun to grasp the essence of the Tang Sect's secret techniques and deeply understood the profound mysteries of the Xuan Tian Gong, so naturally he wouldn't take this year's freshmen too seriously...

Office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

Having grasped the general outline of the matter, Yan Shaozhe's expression turned strange. "So, you two were fighting today purely because of jealousy?"

"Dean, Senior Ma Xiaotao's attack was far too vicious. If you hadn't arrived in time, we would all be dead on the spot. Please, you must do us justice!" Ning Tian fully demonstrated his strong diplomatic skills, directly targeting Ma Xiaotao, who had struck first.

Yan Shaozhe raised his hand to signal her to stop, then turned his gaze to the innocent-looking Huo Yuhao, "Kid, you've certainly been flirting with quite a few girls since you came to the academy, haven't you?"

"Dean, you're mistaken. A person's charm is innate! Actually, I just want to study and cultivate properly in the academy!" Huo Yuhao shamelessly argued.

"Oh? So you ended up sleeping in the same bed with those girls while you were studying?" Yan Shaozhe laughed angrily. He had heard a lot about Huo Yuhao's exploits; he was a true king of the new generation's harem. Although he himself was a scumbag when he was young, he couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw Huo Yuhao surrounded by so many beautiful women.

Yan Shaozhe's words made Ning Tian and the other two girls blush. They hadn't expected that the Shrek Academy executives would specifically investigate their situation.

Both Xie Huanyue and Cui Yajie looked incredulous, with the latter casting a resentful glance at Huo Yuhao.

"Alright, it was indeed Xiao Tao's fault today. I will compensate you in the name of the academy. Except for Huo Yuhao, everyone else, please leave." Yan Shaozhe waved his hand to the group, indicating that everyone except Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao should leave first.

The group of Xie Huanyue and his companions looked at each other, unsure of the dean's intention in keeping Huo Yuhao, and could only obediently retreat.

As the others left, Yan Shaozhe pointed to the benches next to them, indicating that Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao should sit down.

"Huo Yuhao, I heard that you not only spend all your time surrounded by girls, but you also flirt with senior students in the inner academy, and even dare to harass female teachers..." Yan Shaozhe recounted Huo Yuhao's interpersonal relationships since arriving at the academy, as if reciting a familiar story. "Are you planning to collect all the beauties in the entire academy?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's expression instantly became quite interesting, and there was even a hint of disappointment in her gaze as she looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Dean, you can't say that. As the saying goes, a teacher is one who imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts. I personally admire Dean Yan so much that I'm even willing to sully myself to learn from his romantic ways." Huo Yuhao seemed oblivious to Ma Xiaotao's gaze, looked directly at Yan Shaozhe, and smiled nonchalantly.

"Can I take this as you provoking me?" Yan Shaozhe's previously calm expression finally changed slightly. "Do you think that the Holy Spirit Sect's people secretly protecting you can still keep you safe in the face of me? Holy Son Huo Yuhao!"

Upon hearing this, the entire office fell into a deathly silence. Huo Yuhao could see Yan Shaozhe's soul power about to erupt through his spiritual eyes.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "As expected! Long Xiaoyao has already told Mu En about my situation, and I certainly won't be able to hide it from them after I come to Shrek Academy. There must be another reason why they didn't control me immediately."

"Dean Yan has a good eye." Huo Yuhao maintained his composure and smiled. "But how did Dean Yan determine that I am a ruthless evil spirit master?"

"Are all evil spirit masters born to be irredeemable villains? People believe that those who commit crimes should certainly be punished, but have Shrek Academy ever thought about guiding those who are born with mutated or incomplete martial spirits onto the right path, instead of categorizing them all as evil spirit masters and executing them on the spot?"

"Oh? You don't necessarily think you're not an evil soul master?" Yan Shaozhe asked sarcastically, intrigued. "A normal soul master can actually devour the souls of the dead?"

Huo Yuhao spoke eloquently to Yan Shaozhe, "Just as Ma Xiaotao reported to the academy, when they first met me, my Martial Soul, the Spirit Eye, inexplicably devoured many souls, and I was regarded as a holy son by the Holy Spirit Sect. If it had been the Body Sect, not the Holy Spirit Sect, that discovered me back then, would my reputation have improved?"

"Your original theoretical master at Shrek Academy once said, 'There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters.' May I add, 'There are no evil martial souls, only evil soul masters?'"

Regarding the concept of evil spirit masters, I think it's best to let their own actions determine it. Just like the conversation between Frieza and the protagonist in Dragon Ball, Saiyans also did evil, so they were wiped out.
