I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Recently, Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Martial Soul Department has been in a bad mood. Ever since the last emergency Sea God Pavilion meeting, when his teacher suggested that they should gradually accept the topic of spirits, Yan Shaozhe has been in a bad mood.

This is because when the spirits first appeared, he was one of the main leaders opposing this new system.

Yan Shaozhe was among those who went to besiege the Qiling Tower. Of course, Yan Shaozhe also inevitably suffered a beating from Gu Yuena during that operation.

It was because of that beating incident that Yan Shaozhe not only became resistant to spirits, but also harbored deep resentment towards the Spirit Pagoda.

Yan Shaozhe wasn't blind; he saw how powerful the Soul Spirit system was at boosting Soul Masters' power. But just because of this new cultivation method, how could the legendary Beast God Di Tian willingly cooperate with the Spirit Contract Tower and become its henchman?

The details of this incident are just too bizarre and outlandish!

Is the long-standing conflict between humans and spirit beasts really resolved just like that?

Yan Shaozhe absolutely refused to believe that there wasn't some special conspiracy involved!

Yan Shaozhe even suspected that this Spirit Pagoda was actually a force composed of a large number of transformed soul beasts, and that its purpose was to indirectly control all the soul masters on the continent through this soul spirit method.

When the Spirit Tower began to establish different ranger bases in various spirit beast gathering areas and used the righteous cause of prohibiting the indiscriminate killing of spirit beasts to prevent spirit masters from obtaining spirit rings by hunting spirit beasts.

Yan Shaozhe became even more convinced of his inner guess, believing that the Spirit Pagoda wanted to replicate the Spirit Hall of ten thousand years ago and bring the entire Douluo Continent under their control.

But my teacher actually said that the art of spirit manipulation might have been permitted by the gods! ??

Therefore, he felt that Shrek Academy should start trying to accept the Spirit Tower and prepare to negotiate with the Spirit Tower Master about establishing a Spirit Tower branch in Shrek City!

Doesn't that mean that Yan Shaozhe is a petty, narrow-minded, and despicable person who goes against the natural order?

Moreover, were those two freshmen really the so-called "divine examinees"?

Wang Dong'er claims to be from the Haotian Sect, which means she might be a descendant of Tang San's ancestor from ten thousand years ago. Therefore, she might have awakened Tang San's ancestor's Sea God power on the day her martial soul awakened.

However, according to the information, Xu Xingyu is a genius with great talent. It's hard to see why he would be chosen by God!

In Yan Shaozhe's view, many students in his Shrek Academy's inner courtyard had much stronger talents than the young master of the Spirit Tower.

His prized disciple, Ma Xiaotao, is the most powerful example. She is not even twenty years old, yet she has already reached the cultivation level of a level 65 Soul Emperor.

If it weren't for the torment of the evil fire, she might have already reached the Soul Saint level!

A Soul Saint at less than twenty years old! Only in the era of Tang San's ancestor ten thousand years ago could there be such a genius, right?

However, such geniuses never received the protection of their ancestors from ten thousand years ago and were never given the divine test that belonged to them.

So why does Xu Xingyu have the divine ability to pass the exam?

Well, to put it bluntly, Yan Shaozhe is somewhat jealous of the rising Qiling Tower and feels that Qiling Tower may very well shake Shrek's current position in the future.

After all, it's hard not to suspect that a powerful force holds all the cultivation methods of this continent in its hands and prevents others from using the old methods.

Although the number of Soul Masters hunting Soul Beasts has decreased significantly since the appearance of the Spirit Pagoda, some powerful forces still choose to hunt Soul Beasts and evade the so-called forest rangers.

Shrek Academy is the strongest of those forces.

This also made the relationship between Shrek Academy and Chilling Tower extremely bad; they were at least antagonistic forces, if not irreconcilable enemies.

As a result, just because there seems to be a god and two divine examiners on the other side of the Chiling Tower, Shrek Academy has to abandon its millennia-old dignity, admit its mistakes, and maintain a friendly relationship with the Chiling Tower.

Yan Shaozhe didn't know what the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion thought, but he still reserved his own opinion.

He still felt that there was something wrong with the Chilingta organization and that it was not trustworthy.

However, faced with his teacher's tough stance, Yan Shaozhe had no courage to say these things at the Sea God Pavilion meeting.

Thinking about this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. At this stage, he could only take it one step at a time and time would tell who was right and who was wrong.

Just then, Du Weilun, the director of teaching affairs in the foreign language department and Yan Shaozhe's capable subordinate, rushed into Yan Shaozhe's office.

Before Yan Shaozhe could reprimand the other party for his rashness, Du Weilun shouted with an urgent expression, "Dean, something terrible has happened! Ma Xiaotao has been invaded by evil fire and gone berserk. She has left the inner courtyard while in a state of mental instability!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe exclaimed in horror, "What! Didn't the other inner court teachers stop her?"

"They tried to stop her, but Xiao Tao managed to break through in the end," Du Weilun explained helplessly. "Although there are still some chasing after Xiao Tao who has already gone far away, Xiao Tao is expected to arrive at the outer courtyard soon."

After listening to Du Weilun's report, Yan Shaozhe stood up and said, "I'm going there right now! We have to try to stop her before she gets to the outer courtyard!"

Yan Shaozhe quickly flew out of the office and began heading in the direction Ma Xiaotao had left.

On his way to catch up with Ma Xiaotao, Yan Shaozhe muttered involuntarily, "Damn it, didn't we agree not to cultivate for a while? The previous outbreak of evil fire was already difficult to deal with, and now that the Yin fire has awakened, each outbreak is even more difficult to handle. If this continues, I'll have to consider using Soul-Binding Handcuffs to stop her from cultivating."

Yes, Yan Shaozhe knew that Ma Xiaotao possessed Yin Fire.

As for why Yan Shaozhe knew about this, it all started a year ago.

A year ago, Ma Xiaotao also went on a rampage like this, but was stopped by a female student from another college named Jiang Nannan.

The reason she was able to stop the crazed Ma Xiaotao was because she had a special cultivation physique called the Taiyin Jade Body.

Jiang Nannan used the large amount of Yin energy emanating from her own body to suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.

This once made Yan Shaozhe think that he finally had a way to prevent his disciples from being corrupted by the evil fire during their cultivation.

After obtaining Jiang Nannan's permission, Ma Xiaotao would seek Jiang Nannan's help to suppress her lustful desires whenever they were about to erupt.

At first, there were no problems. Ma Xiaotao's evil fire was suppressed by Jiang Nannan's Taiyin Jade Body. However, one day, an unexpected change occurred.

Ma Xiaotao's evil fire seemed to have developed resistance to Jiang Nannan's yin fire. It was no longer affected by the yin energy and even absorbed some of the yin energy, causing a yin fire to be born in Ma Xiaotao's body.

With the appearance of the Yin Fire, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire became increasingly uncontrollable, and the ice bed that was originally used to help suppress her evil fire was burned to ashes by the Yin Fire.

Therefore, Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to strip Ma Xiaotao of her position as captain of the Shrek Seven Devils and order his disciples not to cultivate until a solution to the evil fire was found.

If she wants to reclaim her position as captain, she needs to find a solution quickly. After all, Shrek Academy isn't hers to run, and the safety of other students can't always be disregarded for her sake.

However, it was clear that his precious disciple had not obeyed his orders.

Yan Shaozhe is now considering whether to put the Soul-Binding Handcuffs on his disciple before finding a way to resolve the evil fire, so that she won't do something she'll regret for the rest of her life.

That way she won't cause so much trouble.

Yan Shaozhe quickly found Ma Xiaotao, but to his surprise, Ma Xiaotao was fighting against a student from another department!

Moreover, the student she was fighting against was none other than Xu Xingyu, the one who gave her so much trouble!

Even more unbelievable is that Xu Xingyu actually gained the upper hand in this battle, and his own disciple was completely outmaneuvered by him from beginning to end.

This is partly due to Ma Xiaotao's current state of mental instability and her fight against Xu Xingyu, but Xu Xingyu is ultimately just a Soul Master!

Shouldn't he have been slapped to death?

But what happened next surprised Yan Shaozhe even more. Xu Xingyu revealed the existence of her second martial soul and used it to suppress Jiang Ma Xiaotao, making her unable to move.

Even Yan Shaozhe, who was watching from a distance, could feel a strong pressure from that unknown dragon martial spirit.

It was only then that Yan Shaozhe finally understood why his teacher held this boy in such high regard.

When Yan Shaozhe saw Xu Xingyu use the ultimate ice to suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, he was overjoyed, after all, this was the ultimate ice.

Such a disciple must be nurtured! You say I have a grudge against the Spirit Tower? Just pretend nothing happened.

Just as Yan Shaozhe was about to express his gratitude to Xu Xingyu, the scene before him made him swear.

"Holy crap! How did they end up kissing?!"
