Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 672 The Direct Descendants of the Evil Fire Phoenix

P.S. This is an extra chapter for the Dragon Boat Festival!

More than ten days later, Han Hao and Huo Yuhao were still confused.

For Han Hao and Huo Yuhao, what happened that day can be roughly described as follows: with a whoosh, something darted out, then crashed into something with a bang, and finally disappeared with a whoosh, leaving only a zombie-faced creature that ran out and gave them two pills, without any explanation of what happened!

Han Hao and Huo Yuhao didn't tell Wang Dong'er and Ning Bingning either, so as not to worry them.

Of course, whether Ning Bingning will actually worry about the two of them is indeed a question.

However, to be fair, the Soul Ascension Pill is indeed very powerful!

Han Hao is an exception. He possesses two top-tier martial souls, and the quality of his soul power surpasses that of some Soul Masters. For him, a Soul Ascension Pill can only barely increase his soul power by one level.

Huo Yuhao is different. Huo Yuhao's foundation was originally weak, and with the Xuan Shui Pill he had just absorbed, he has now reached the peak of level seventeen. Judging from Huo Yuhao's cultivation pace, he will probably break through to level eighteen in one or two weeks. Although he can't compare with Han Hao and the others, at least in the class, Huo Yuhao is no longer considered the worst.

That day, Han Hao, Ning Bingning, and Wang Dong'er gathered together to talk about the freshman assessment that would take place in a few days.

"I'll provide support, Bingning will handle the crowd control, and Dong'er will lead the attack. Strategic deployment complete!" Han Hao said with ease.

It's not that Han Hao looks down on others, but the key is that with their lineup, there really isn't a single person who can fight in the entire first year of Shrek Academy!

Ning Bingning naturally didn't object, but Wang Dong'er looked conflicted and subconsciously asked, "What about Yuhao? Yuhao is so weak, what if he gets bullied?"

After Wang Dong'er finished speaking, Ning Bingning glanced at Wang Dong'er with a hint of surprise, and Han Hao also frowned.

To be fair, with Huo Yuhao's current cultivation level of nearly level 18, coupled with his ridiculously powerful first soul skill, his support abilities are still quite valuable in Shrek Academy's first year. Without Han Hao and the others' help, winning the championship is definitely out of the question, but being bullied is also unacceptable, since everyone knows that Huo Yuhao is acquainted with Han Hao and the others!

However, Wang Dong'er seems to be a little too concerned about Huo Yuhao.

Han Hao looked at Wang Dong'er with a playful expression and asked, "Is your brother more important, or Yuhao?"

Under Han Hao's gaze, Wang Dong'er felt embarrassed and quickly hugged Han Hao's arm, saying coquettishly, "Of course, brother is more important!"

"What I mean is, the team composition for the freshman assessment was all arranged by Teacher Zhou, so what's the point of us figuring things out here?!"

Han Hao gave Wang Dong'er a deep look, then smiled faintly and said, "You're quite clever!"

During lunch break, Ning Bingning followed Han Hao to the shade of the tree that Han Hao liked the most.

At this moment, Ning Bingning finally couldn't hold back any longer and said to Han Hao, "Actually, given the influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Clear Sky School at Shrek Academy, Young Master and Miss can completely ignore Teacher Zhou's arrangements and form their own teams."

"There's no need!" Han Hao said calmly, as if he knew Ning Bingning would ask this. "Since we've come to Shrek Academy, there's no need for this kind of special treatment. Besides, if it really is just the three of us as a team, this freshman assessment would be far too boring!"

"Then young master?" Ning Bingning asked, her eyebrows not furrowed, though she seemed puzzled.

Han Hao looked up at the sky and said meaningfully, "Perhaps Dong'er herself hasn't realized it yet, but Yuhao has already taken a place in her heart!"

"Is Young Master jealous?" Ning Bingning felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this and asked instinctively.

Han Hao chuckled, speechless, and said, "How could that be!"

After saying that, Han Hao's expression turned serious. He narrowed his eyes and said rather solemnly, "It's just that Yuhao is too weak and too ordinary..."

Han Hao is now wondering whether he should force the couple apart or let things take their course.

Huo Yuhao is a good person, and his current potential is not weak, but in Han Hao's opinion, he is still too weak!

It wasn't that Han Hao was overthinking things. He knew Wang Dong'er well; she was simple-minded and pure-hearted. Once a hint of something came along, she could easily fall for it and then find it hard to extricate herself. As her older brother, Han Hao had to take precautions!

After listening to Han Hao's words, Ning Bingning nodded thoughtfully, feeling a little secretly pleased. Ning Bingning didn't know why she was secretly pleased; perhaps it was because she was happy that Wang Dong'er had found her ideal partner.

It doesn't seem like it...

After that, the two didn't say anything more. Ning Bingning wasn't usually talkative, so it was already unexpected for Han Hao that she would take the initiative to ask about Wang Dong'er.

Before the two could enjoy the warm afternoon sun for long, a burst of intense heat sent a shiver through them!

Ning Bingning almost instinctively summoned the Frost Sky Annihilation Spider King to protect Han Hao behind her!

At the same time, a tall and beautiful fiery red figure appeared before them, accompanied by terrifying flames!

"Junior! I've finally found you!" The woman in fiery red showed a look of surprise when she saw Han Hao. She reached out to greet him, but was stopped by Ning Bingning, who had a frosty expression.

Seeing Ning Bingning's expression, the woman suddenly realized and quickly said, "I forgot to mention, my name is Ma Xiaotao. I mean no harm, I just wanted to ask a junior for a little help..."

"I know you!" Before Ma Xiaotao could finish speaking, Ning Bingning interrupted her rudely, staring intently at Ma Xiaotao, and said, word by word, "The direct descendant of the Min clan's main family, possessing the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, needs a Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul to help suppress the evil fire due to a flaw in the Martial Soul! My adoptive father told me this before we entered the academy!"

After saying that, Ning Bingning spoke first, "I don't know why you came to Young Master! I can't make a decision for Young Master either, but if Young Master is willing to help you, I am also a possessor of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. You can't take Young Master away. I will help you suppress the evil fire!"

"You should know that even Dean Yan cannot force the young master to do anything!"

Han Hao was stunned as soon as Ning Bingning finished speaking.

In Han Hao's memory, Ning Bingning had always been cold and indifferent. To put it nicely, she was prudent and self-protective; to put it bluntly, she was selfish and self-serving. In everything she did, she would prioritize her own interests and would never let her own emotions get involved.

Did Ning Bingning break her composure today?

Hearing Ning Bingning say this, Ma Xiaotao was tempted, but also hesitated.

Unlike Ning Bingning, Han Hao possesses two completely incompatible powers: extreme fire and extreme ice. This is considered a taboo. If you ask Han Hao for help, you can not only eradicate the evil fire, but also elevate the quality of your martial soul to a higher level, truly reaching the level of extreme fire. This is something that a pure extreme ice soul master cannot do!

Ma Xiaotao had never dared to hope for this until Han Hao appeared!

At first, Ma Xiaotao only hoped to become an ultimate Ice Soul Master, but now Han Hao's appearance has given Ma Xiaotao another possibility. This is a matter that concerns Ma Xiaotao's future, so Ma Xiaotao has no choice but to hesitate!

Just as Ma Xiaotao was hesitating, Han Hao suddenly spoke up: "No need! If you truly possess the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, I can lend you a hand!"

"Young Master!" Upon hearing Han Hao's words, before Ma Xiaotao could say anything, Ning Bingning screamed.

"What's wrong?" Han Hao asked, puzzled, seeing Ning Bingning so out of sorts for the first time.

Ning Bingning recalled the side effects of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, and then glanced at Ma Xiaotao's stunning figure. For some unknown reason, her expression quickly changed, and she lowered her head, saying, "I'm sorry! I lost my composure!"

She cannot and should not interfere with Han Hao's personal preferences!

Han Hao blinked, increasingly puzzled.

But that's just how Ning Bingning is; if she doesn't want to talk, no one can get a single syllable out of her mouth!

Han Hao didn't make things difficult for Ning Bingning, and simply nodded.

The reason Han Hao was willing to lend a helping hand to Ma Xiaotao was entirely because of the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul and the surname Ma.

When Han Hao heard these two keywords, he already understood that the senior in front of him must be Uncle Ma and Aunt Bai's direct disciple in Douluo Continent. Although she was not a direct disciple of bloodline, she was a direct disciple of martial spirit. For the sake of his Uncle Ma, Han Hao was willing to help Ma Xiaotao within his ability.

Furthermore, Han Hao had always been curious about the side effects of the Evil Fire Phoenix!

In the past, when Han Hao listened to his uncles reminiscing about the past, he would always hear them teasing Uncle Ma, which made Uncle Ma very embarrassed. But no matter how Han Hao asked, his uncles and father would just smile and remain silent, and his aunts would keep their mouths shut.

Han Hao wanted to see today what kind of magical side effect could make so many gods remain silent about it!

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao caught a glimpse of Ning Bingning's gaze and couldn't help but tremble!

Ning Bingning's gaze was so cold and fierce, with a faint killing intent that vanished in an instant.

Ma Xiaotao looked closely, but Ning Bingning's gaze had returned to normal, as if it were all Ma Xiaotao's illusion. Even as a powerful Soul Master, Ma Xiaotao hadn't received any warning. This made Ma Xiaotao think that perhaps she was being affected by the Evil Fire and was hallucinating.
