Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 173 Yan Shaozhe's Scheme

"Hey, hey, you little brat, why are you chasing people away?"

Yan Shaozhe was pushed backward repeatedly, but his face was full of a helpless yet doting smile.

"Alright, alright, I won't disturb your rest anymore."

He was pushed outside the door, but he didn't forget to give one last piece of advice.

"Remember, hand over the whale glue to them in person tomorrow. Also, once this ten-thousand-year-old whale glue solidifies, it becomes incredibly hard and cannot be refined using ordinary methods. You will need to use your phoenix flames to slowly soften it before you can consume it."

"Tomorrow, you must personally help him refine it. This is a way of showing sincerity, understand?!"

"Okay, okay, you can go now."

Ma Xiaotao responded impatiently twice, then slammed the door shut.

Yan Shaozhe touched his nose, stood outside the door, and shook his head helplessly.

'This girl is still too shy.'

However, the moment he turned to leave, the helplessness on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a cunning smile, like that of an old fox who had succeeded in his scheme.

'Little Peach, Little Peach, you don't know, but how could your teacher not know?'

He chuckled inwardly.

'Whale glue is an extremely yang and yang substance. Even a Soul Master can withstand the willpower of a thousand-year-old whale glue, but how immense must the yang power contained within ten-thousand-year-old whale glue be?'

'Although that boy is exceptionally talented, he is still young, and his body has not yet fully developed. Once he consumes this ten-thousand-year-old whale jelly, his blood will surely boil and his desires will burn fiercely.'

'And I, I'll have you personally stand by, using your phoenix flames to refine him... Hehehe...'

Yan Shaozhe seemed to have already foreseen the wonderful scene of dry wood meeting a raging fire that would happen tomorrow.

At that time, a man and a woman alone will be in the same room.

One was burning with lust, the other with rampant lust... If nothing happens soon, Yan Shaozhe's name will be reversed.

"For your lifelong happiness, and for the future of Shrek Academy, this is all I can do to help you."

Yan Shaozhe disappeared into the night in a cheerful mood.

Inside the room, Ma Xiaotao, completely unaware that she had been tricked by her own teacher, was holding the cold jade box and smiling foolishly.

She placed the jade box by her bedside as if it were some priceless treasure.

Shyness and embarrassment had long been forgotten; in her heart, only hope and longing for the future remained.

'Once I get rid of the evil fire, I can cultivate without any worries.'

'Level 69, Level 70, Soul Saint, I'll break through soon.'

"This year's Shrek Seven Devils will definitely include me, Ma Xiaotao."

"And the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament will undoubtedly belong to Shrek Academy as well."

She lay in bed, tossing and turning, too excited to sleep.

She opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, as if she could already see her glorious future, dominating the arena and crushing all her opponents.

This was the most peaceful night she had slept in over a decade, and the night she looked forward to the dawn the most.

The morning sunlight streamed through the ancient windows of Shrek Academy, casting dappled light into the classroom of Class 1, the first-year students.

The air was filled with a faint scholarly atmosphere and subtle fluctuations in soul power.

On the platform, Han Ruoruo was explaining the habits and weaknesses of different types of soul beasts.

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain stream, making the somewhat dry theoretical knowledge more vivid.

Most of the students were listening attentively and writing furiously.

Yin Chen, sitting by the window, seemed somewhat absent-minded. His gaze fell on a leaf swaying in the wind outside the window, but his thoughts were preoccupied with his own body.

Deep within his spiritual sea, the majestic Temple of Time still floats amidst the stars.

Beneath the temple, an endless ice field quietly spread out, and in the center of the ice field, a huge, chillingly blue scorpion was curled up and fell into a deep sleep.

That's Hyotei.

The ferocious beast, which had existed for 400,000 years, became a part of his body in an unprecedented way.

This terrifying power, lurking within, capable of freezing everything, is so real.

He could sense that with just a thought, he could cause the temperature in the entire classroom to plummet to freezing.

His unusual behavior naturally did not escape the notice of those around him.

Gu Yuena appeared to be drawing something with her head down, but her deep purple eyes were always fixed on Yin Chen out of the corner of her eye.

Back in Dragon City, she had already sensed the aura of a ferocious beast emanating from Yin Chen.

What... exactly happened to him?

For the first time, Gu Yuena felt such intense curiosity about someone.

Ye Guyi, sitting in the front row, was completely unaware of the absent-mindedness of the two people behind her.

She listened very attentively and took meticulous notes.

"Jingle Bell--"

The crisp sound of the school bell finally broke the silence in the classroom.

"Alright, that's all for today. We have physical training this afternoon, so please don't be late."

Han Ruoruo closed her book, smiled gently at the students, and then, carrying her lesson plan, left the classroom with light steps.

She had just stepped out of the classroom.

Immediately afterward, a figure rushed out from the back row of the classroom with lightning speed.

"Pfft!"

That was a perfect knee slide, with a smooth and fluid motion.

Zhou Sichen landed precisely in front of Yin Chen's desk in a perfect parabola, then grabbed Yin Chen's thighs tightly with both hands.

"Wow--!"

The next second, a pig-like scream echoed throughout the classroom.

"Boss, help me! Boss, you have to save me!"

Zhou Sichen was crying and sniffling, her face filled with grief, as if she had suffered some inhumane treatment.

"I'm bankrupt, I'm completely bankrupt. I can't even afford food in the cafeteria anymore. I went to bed hungry last night. If this continues, I might become the first student in Shrek Academy's history to starve to death."

The entire classroom fell silent instantly.

All the students stared in disbelief at this sudden farce, as if they were looking at idiots.

Yin Chen's lips twitched uncontrollably.

He could feel dozens of gazes focused on him, among which two particularly strange gazes came from Gu Yuena beside him and Ye Guyi in front of him.

Gu Yuena put down her pen and watched the scene with great interest, a rare hint of amusement appearing in her purple eyes.

Ye Guyi was filled with shock and confusion. She couldn't understand why a boy could be so undignified as to cling to another boy's leg.
