Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.
Chapter 24 [Beset by Evil Fire]
Huo Yuhao held reservations about both viewpoints, believing that it is difficult to judge whether a person is good or bad, and often requires a lot of behavior to determine their character.
Like Xuanzi, he is a legitimate high-ranking member of Shrek Academy.
But why is he called the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult? Why do so many people hate him? It's all because of the things he did.
Because of drinking and stealing bird eggs, a group of inner court students faced a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and they only arrived late when almost everyone was dead.
Moreover, when Xuanzi made a mistake, his first thought was not to take responsibility, but to escape, and he wanted to shift the blame by resigning.
To put it bluntly, if a level 98 Super Douluo really wanted to leave, who could stop him?
But he insisted on announcing his resignation in front of everyone, waiting for them to try and persuade him to stay, and perhaps even shedding some crocodile tears.
Can you believe it? Someone who made a mistake actually had to stay on his knees because Zhang Lexuan wouldn't get up? Anyone who didn't know better would think Zhang Lexuan was the teacher in charge!
The most incredible thing is that this kind of thing can actually happen a second time.
In the Mingdou Mountains, the students went in to exterminate the evil soul masters, while Xuanzi was outside drinking and eating chicken legs. Then the main team was severely injured.
When Xuanzi returned to the Sea God Pavilion, the first thing he said was still, "I want to resign." Who could resist that?
Having teammates of this caliber is even more suffocating than having an opponent who is a Limit Douluo.
Therefore, Xuanzi also made it onto Huo Yuhao's kill list. It wouldn't be surprising if someone like Xuanzi got bored one day and blew up his house with a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon.
Therefore, whether to treat Ma Xiaotao as a human being or to use her as a tool, Huo Yuhao only needs to judge her based on one thing: Ma Xiaotao's subsequent actions.
He knew why Ma Xiaotao had come to him, and this time he would refuse to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire.
Watch Ma Xiaotao's reaction after being rejected and what she will do in the coming days.
If Ma Xiaotao were to say something like, "I've already apologized, what more do you want? Didn't I give you a Soul-Up Pill as compensation? For the sake of Shrek Academy, you must suppress the evil fire for me!" or anything similar.
Huo Yuhao sentenced her to death, declaring that she and Yan Shaozhe would be thrown into the Sea God Lake as animal feed in the future.
Conversely, if Ma Xiaotao's behavior is something like "I'm sorry, I will definitely try to get your forgiveness," Huo Yuhao will temporarily treat her as a human being.
After the assassination attempt, he will make a comprehensive judgment based on Ma Xiaotao's actions.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to speak, the light in front of him changed, and the long-unseen light screen reappeared.
[Entry author: Ma Xiaotao]
【Beset by Evil Fire (Purple)】
[Requirement for obtaining this: Suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire once]
Effect: Increases fire resistance by 30%.
Advanced requirement: Completely cure Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.
Huo Yuhao's eyes turned serious. Obtaining the entry from Ma Xiaotao was an unexpected little incident.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the text on the screen and then turned his gaze back to Ma Xiaotao.
Now is not the time to think about entries; the primary goal now is to test whether Ma Xiaotao is a person or a tool.
Seeing Huo Yuhao cast her gaze, Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath, her beautiful face full of solemnity and sincerity.
She took a step back and, under Wang Dong's surprised gaze, bowed deeply. A ninety-degree bow often represents the sincerity of the person bowing.
The inner courtyard uniform fit perfectly, and even when Ma Xiaotao bowed at a ninety-degree angle, there wasn't a single bit of exposure.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao temporarily added one point to Ma Xiaotao's score. Compared to her teacher Yan Shaozhe's bowing apology, which was almost a nod, Ma Xiaotao seemed much more sincere.
Even without using his mental detection, he could tell that Ma Xiaotao's muscles were tense all over, a sign of focused concentration and nervousness.
"I have received your apology, senior. Let's leave it at that. You don't need to take it to heart."
Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged, revealing no emotional fluctuation. Seeing this, Wang Dong echoed:
"Forget it, we weren't really hurt anyway, let's just let this go, you can leave now."
After Wang Dong finished speaking, she was about to close the door. Although she was no longer very angry with Ma Xiaotao, she didn't have much affection for her either.
"Hey, wait!" Ma Xiaotao braced herself against the wooden door, and Wang Dong immediately switched to attack mode upon seeing this.
She looked wary, her tone menacing, "What do you want? Let me tell you, I've apologized, we've accepted you, there's nothing between us anymore!"
"Um, Huo Yuhao, I have something I'd like to talk to you about privately. This is very important to me, so please make sure you come out."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes widened. She wanted to question Ma Xiaotao about what she couldn't hear, but seeing the other party's serious expression and earnest words, she felt that she didn't have the right to ask questions.
"Senior, you can say what you need to say here. You don't need to hide it from Wang Dong." Huo Yuhao shook his head, stepped aside, and gestured for Ma Xiaotao to come in.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong was deeply moved by the trust in his tone. She stepped aside from blocking the doorway and said, "Come in and talk if you have something to say."
Ma Xiaotao hesitated for a moment; she didn't really want others to know about the evil fire.
But since she needed Huo Yuhao's help, she couldn't say anything to object. After a few seconds of silence, she went inside.
There are no chairs in the dormitory building of Shrek Academy, but there is a table. Wang Dong would complain about this every time he used the table.
Three chairs were taken out of the soul tool. Seeing Ma Xiaotao sitting upright, combined with her previous behavior, one could see that she was quite serious.
Huo Yuhao is now 30% certain that Ma Xiaotao is human.
"What I am about to say, please do not tell anyone else."
Seeing Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong nod, Ma Xiaotao's serious expression softened slightly.
"My martial spirit is called the Evil Fire Phoenix..."
Ma Xiaotao recounted the flaws in her martial soul, and then she saw Huo Yuhao, whose expression remained unchanged, and Wang Dong, whose eyes gradually turned dangerous.
"So, you want Yuhao to use the ultimate ice to suppress your evil fire, right?" Wang Dong's voice was low and menacing. Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao immediately replied, "That's right."
"No wonder!" Wang Dong exclaimed with sudden realization, his tone abruptly changing. "Why did you apologize the moment Yuhao displayed his ultimate ice talent? Why did you apologize then and now?"
You don't know you're wrong; you know you're going to die! Your apologies are just excuses!
"No, I didn't. My apology is sincere!"
Ma Xiaotao felt wronged. She admitted that it was a bit snobbish of her to apologize only after discovering that Huo Yuhao was the Ultimate Ice.
Okay, that's true. She really does "use people when they need them, and discard them when they don't," and Ma Xiaotao doesn't deny that.
After all, she didn't really take Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong seriously when she first approached them.
How could a Soul Emperor possibly take a one-ring Soul Master and a two-ring Great Soul Master seriously?
Not to mention the students from the outer academy, she didn't even take the students from the inner academy seriously.
Everything depends on her talent; even in the inner academy, her strength is unparalleled.
Therefore, the attitude towards the two at that time was entirely human nature.
Ma Xiaotao was confident that even if she replaced her with an ordinary inner court student, their methods would be similar to hers, or even inferior.
But her apology was absolutely sincere!
"You all have to believe me!"
