Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 24 Yan Shaozhe (Part 2)

"Young people are great, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow."

Behind him, the soul-guiding lights of the outer academy formed a continuous line, laying out golden veins across Shrek Academy. The vast night wind, blowing from afar, lifted his long golden hair. Ling Bai held Ma Xiaotao in his arms and sighed helplessly.

In that battle, Ling Bai unleashed his full power, employing every trick in the book except for the Fiery Bone Dragon Vulture Soul Bone skill, barely managing to subdue Ma Xiaotao, who was fighting purely on instinct and had reserved her sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower. If they were to fight one-on-one once she regained her senses, Ling Bai couldn't guarantee a victory against this Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Emperor.

He pooped a huge hole on his very first day at Shrek Academy; I can’t even imagine how he’ll get through this.

A moment later, Ling Bai landed on the shore of Sea God Lake and found that Ma Xiaotao's hands were wrapped around his neck at some point, and half of her face was flushed, making her beautiful face even more radiant.

"Actually, it's quite beautiful without actually lifting a finger."

Ling Bai said in a low voice, "Ma Xiaotao's appearance can definitely be described as an angelic face and a devilish figure. If her personality were a little more gentle, she would be even more perfect."

One of the two active volcanoes in the inner courtyard, which brave man would dare to touch her!

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Ling Bai looked in a certain direction and saw a white dot of light approaching him at an astonishing speed, landing in front of him in the blink of an eye.

A middle-aged man in white, with a handsome face that exuded a refined air, had his hair neatly combed and his whole being radiated a comforting and luminous aura.

"Oh, you've arrived?"

Ling Bai stared with dead fish eyes, looking exactly like a dead salted fish.

Even a clay figure has some temper. This guy is obviously a teacher at Shrek Academy, so his status must be quite high. He and Ma Xiaotao had a huge fight before, and Ling Bai couldn't believe that the other party was so late!

"Yes, classmate."

The middle-aged man was also quite skilled; facing Ling Bai's tone, which held a hint of yin and yang, his expression remained completely unchanged, as if two large characters were truly etched on his face:

thank!

"I am Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of the academy. Ma Xiaotao is my personal disciple. Her Phoenix Evil Flame has always been a worry, but I didn't expect it to erupt without warning tonight. Luckily, you were here, classmate. How are you? Are you alright?"

"He's injured, very badly injured."

"Nothing else... um?"

Yan Shaozhe's pupils trembled slightly. The words he had prepared in his mind vanished without a trace. He stared at Ling Bai, whose aura suddenly weakened, and screamed wildly in his heart.

Touch porcelain!

That's definitely a staged accident scam!

He clearly saw it: Ling Bai acted like nothing had happened after beating Ma Xiaotao. One second he was lively and energetic, and the next he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Who would believe that!

Ling Bai coughed weakly twice and said, "Dean Yan, Senior Sister Xiao Tao's Phoenix Flame was too powerful. I was lucky to survive, but now my body is filled with rampant evil fire."

It's okay, I can tolerate it.

Although I am just a weak fourth-ring Soul Master, and a new Shrek Academy freshman... I deeply understand that it is selfless to dedicate myself to my classmates.

I'm willing to sacrifice everything for you, even if the Phoenix Flame leaves me with hidden injuries that hinder my future, I will never take a single needle or thread from Shrek Academy... Don't worry, I won't tell anyone..."

!!!

As Ma Xiaotao quietly regained consciousness, she bit her lower lip hard, desperately trying to hold back her laughter, which caused her face to contort slightly.

That's terrible!

That kid is wicked!

Ma Xiaotao knew that Ling Bai must have realized that Yan Shaozhe had arrived long ago. Perhaps he deliberately tested him and did not make a move immediately. So he used this as a pretext to subtly and overtly harass Yan Shaozhe!

Yan Shaozhe's face grew darker and darker as he listened. Finally, he waved his hand dismissively and said with a forced smile, "Look at what you're saying! Does Shrek Academy not distinguish between good and evil? For someone injured protecting a classmate, the academy must reward them. Here, take this!"

After saying that, Yan Shaozhe tossed a white jade bottle to Ling Bai.

Upon opening the cork on the jade bottle, a delicate fragrance wafted out. Through the bottle opening, Ling Bai could see three pills, each the size of a longan, lying quietly inside. They were crystal clear, with a faint halo of light flowing across their emerald green surfaces.

"The Soul-Nourishing Pill is a generous gift from the Dean."

Ling Bai expressed his gratitude to Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow: "Looks like you've eaten here before?"

The Soul Nourishing Pill is an advanced version of the Soul Ascension Pill. It is made from the essence of more than thirty kinds of ten-thousand-year-old plant-type soul beasts and has the miraculous effects of cleansing the marrow and nourishing the spirit.

In the Douluo Continent, only a very small number of plant-type Soul Masters can refine Soul Nourishing Pills, and the yield is only three to five pills per year.

Although Ling Bai recognized the Soul Nourishing Pill, Yan Shaozhe sensed that Ling Bai's expression wasn't particularly surprised, but rather perfunctory.

Soul-Nourishing Pill, huh? Not bad, not bad. Thanks!

Only disciples from top families or major sects had ever come into contact with the Soul Ascension Pill. Ling Bai's actions made Yan Shaozhe somewhat hesitant about his subsequent plans.

"Dean, my name is Ling Bai, and I come from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Previously, Ling Bai had enrolled with a recommendation letter from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Yan Shaozhe thought he could find this basic information from Du Weilun, so Ling Bai simply told him frankly.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Yan Shaozhe suddenly realized.

No wonder Ling Bai was a bit perfunctory with the Soul Nourishing Pill; the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's Guardian Douluo is the strongest plant-type Title Douluo currently existing on the continent!

Account banned, Jianmu!

Jianmu Douluo was a powerful figure from the same era as Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo and the Sea God Pavilion Master. Even Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, had to bow and respectfully address him as a senior. The Soul Nourishing Pill was a top-tier pill that Jianmu Douluo improved upon the Soul Ascension Pill when he was young.

Ling Bai, who comes from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, has such talent that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Jianmu Douluo would probably give him Soul Nourishing Pills like candy.

"How has Senior Jianmu been in health these past few years?"

Yan Shaozhe had once heard his teacher Mu En mention that when the two heroes of the Body Sect wreaked havoc on the continent, it was Mu En and Jianmu Douluo who went to stop them.

After a fierce battle, Dragon God Douluo Mu En severely injured the Body Sect Master, Du Bisi. Du Bisi fled back to the Body Sect for many years before succumbing to his injuries and passing away. Mu En also paid a terrible price by losing a spine, leaving him unable to straighten his back for the rest of his life.

Jianmu Douluo fought Du Busi alone for three days and three nights. Both of them were seriously injured, and Jianmu Douluo was left with a chronic illness. He then retired to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and disappeared without a trace.

"Same as before."

Ling Bai spoke calmly, and his simple five words left people unable to discern how much truth or falsehood was in his words.

"When the building was about to collapse, Jianmu Douluo was a senior I respected, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet him. His presence is a blessing for both the mainland and the academy," Yan Shaozhe said with emotion.

"Leave Xiaotao to me. Your injuries are quite serious, so go back and rest well. I'll think about how to compensate you."

Using the excuse Ling Bai had given him, Yan Shaozhe took Ma Xiaotao from his hands and turned to leave.
