Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 137 Old Man Yan, you really dare to say that?

The day after returning from the trip to Jubaoge, which was also the third day of the new semester, Yan Laodeng finally couldn't hold back any longer.

As time goes by, the selection date for the Shrek reserve team is fast approaching. When the Shrek reserve team is selected, the regular players will also be determined. Before that, Ma Xiaotao's spot in the competition must be confirmed.

He felt he couldn't delay any longer.

Whether it's asking Lin Yun to use the Ice Jade Scorpion to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire, or using the Immortal Herb to solve the problem of her evil fire once and for all, allowing her to transform into a true fire phoenix, both are urgent matters.

So on this day, Yan Shaozhe found Lin Yun, who was slacking off with Xiao Xiao on the playground.

"Xiao Xiao, could you please excuse me for a moment? I have some personal matters to discuss with Lin Yun." Yan Shaozhe appeared before the two of them, looking at Xiao Xiao with a smile.

The little girl seemed a bit lost and turned to look at Lin Yun.

With Lin Yun by her side, Xiao Xiao felt like she had found her backbone, completely abandoning any thought and letting Lin Yun take the lead in everything.

"Dean Yan, just say what you want to say. Xiao Xiao and I are a couple, there's nothing you can't say in front of her." Lin Yun didn't loosen his grip on Xiao Xiao's hand, his tone equally calm and gentle.

Of course, there is one undeniable truth to it.

You old man, just say what you want to say, or you can leave if you don't want to say anything!

Xiao Xiao bit her lower lip lightly, her body involuntarily leaning closer to Lin Yun, her heart trembling uncontrollably.

The rule that students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department are not allowed to date is a school regulation. Even when Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao are affectionate, they don't do it openly in front of Mu Jin. Mu Jin and Wang Yan always turn a blind eye and pretend they don't see it.

After all, geniuses always deserve some privileges.

But Lin Yun dared to openly reveal their relationship in front of Yan Shaozhe. Wasn't he afraid of being punished for violating school rules?

Or is it that Lin Yun doesn't even care about school rules for her sake?

Xiao Xiao started brainstorming and took the initiative to strategize for Lin Yun to win her over.

Young girls are always sensitive.

Meanwhile, Old Deng and Lin Xiaodeng were still staring at each other.

"Alright, since you insist, Lin Yun, then I'll just say it directly." In the end, Yan Shaozhe gave in, after all, he was the one who came to ask for help, and the initiative was not in his hands.

Yan Shaozhe had no doubt that if he insisted that Xiao Xiao avoid him, Lin Yun might actually dare to pull Xiao Xiao away and ignore him completely.

Even Yan Shaozhe had no way to deal with it.

The terrifying aura of a Super Douluo he had just witnessed truly left him with lingering fear.

"Yes, Dean Yan, please go ahead." Lin Yun nodded calmly.

"Do you still remember my disciple?" Yan Shaozhe asked.

Just from Yan Shaozhe's words, Lin Yun could roughly guess what the old man was thinking.

In this world, Huo Yuhao did not obtain the Ice Emperor as his martial soul. His second martial soul was not even the Ultimate Ice, but the Titan Snow Demon, which was known for its physical abilities.

Lin Yun had previously discussed this matter with Hyotei.

The awakening of a normal martial soul will only cause the soul master's appearance to develop towards perfection. The stronger the martial soul, the closer the soul master's appearance will be to perfection, and the more it will conform to human aesthetic standards. The most famous example is the Angel Martial Soul.

Whether it's the Qian family of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, or the Holy Angel Ye Guyi and Healing Angel Wang Xian'er who have yet to appear, or the Holy Angel Le Zhengjia, the Fallen Angel Yuanen Yehui, and the Prayer Angel Holy Spirit Yali ten thousand years later, their appearances are all impeccably perfect.

The case of Huo Yuhao, who, after awakening the Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul, instead became all over his body with bulging muscles, looking at first glance like a hairless Titan Snow Demon, is completely abnormal.

Finally, Hyotei proposed a possibility:

The Titan Snow Demon race is a race born after the ancient Ice God had relations with the Titan Giant race, and their blood flows with both the blood of the Ice God and the blood of the Titan Giants.

The fortune of Douluo Continent was clearly insufficient for Huo Yuhao to awaken the Ice God bloodline, but activating the Titan Giant bloodline within the Titan Snow Demon's body was still possible when absorbing soul rings, soul bones, and martial souls.

This means that Huo Yuhao's ice-attribute abilities are even weaker than those of a typical Titan Snow Demon, but his physical combat strength is terrifyingly strong, which is why Huo Yuhao's appearance has changed so drastically.

Yan Shaozhe had also approached Huo Yuhao, since the price to get Lin Yun's help was far more expensive than Huo Yuhao's. If Huo Yuhao's Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul was top-notch enough, it might not be impossible to solve Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem.

However, Yan Shaozhe returned disappointed. Huo Yuhao's Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul had been weakened to its lowest point in terms of ice attribute abilities, but it had reached its peak in terms of physical abilities.

If Ma Xiaotao doesn't mind...

Huo Yuhao could help her resolve her inner fire in another way, and there was no need to worry about draining Huo Yuhao dry. With the bloodline of the Titans, it would be Ma Xiaotao who couldn't withstand it in the end.

Yan Shaozhe knew that Ma Xiaotao would never accept this method.

So in the end, Lin Yun was the only lifeline left.

Ice-green scorpion, fairy herb.

Two solutions.

The former addresses the symptoms, while the latter addresses the root cause.

A flurry of thoughts raced through Lin Yun's mind, and his expression turned playful: "Oh? Of course I remember. That crazy woman with the Martial Soul of the Evil Fire Phoenix, a descendant of Ma Hongjun, one of the Seven Monsters from ten thousand years ago. How could I forget her?"

Hearing Lin Yun call his disciple a crazy woman, Yan Shaozhe felt somewhat displeased, but when he thought about his first meeting with Ma Xiaotao, which was when Ma Xiaotao lost her mind due to the outbreak of evil fire and attacked them, Yan Shaozhe couldn't find any words to refute her.

"Yes, she is my disciple, a student of Shrek Academy's inner court, with a soul power level of sixty-six, and her name is Ma Xiaotao," Yan Shaozhe explained. "Attacking you was not her intention, but rather she couldn't suppress the evil fire of her martial soul, which caused her to lose her mind."

"And that is precisely why I need your help."

"If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Xiao must have consumed a magical herb, right? If it weren't a magical herb, I really can't understand what else could allow a person's martial soul to evolve and greatly increase their soul power level." Yan Shaozhe looked at Xiao Xiao, and although what he said was a guess, his tone was very certain.

Immortal herb?

You dare to say something like this right off the bat, Mr. Yan!

Faced with Lin Yun's gaze that looked at him like he was an idiot, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but blush.

"Of course, Lin Yun, please rest assured, I won't take your immortal herb for nothing; I'll exchange it for something else!"
