Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Chapter 93 Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Xixi: We all need Yuhao

Xi Xi glanced at Ma Xiaotao, then at Huo Yuhao, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Evil fire, resurgence, suppression? These were all things she had never heard of.

Ling Luochen wasn't surprised; she knew about Ma Xiaotao's martial soul problem.

In fact, Ma Xiaotao had approached her hoping to use her ice element martial soul to suppress the evil fire, but she refused.

At that time, she didn't like Ma Xiaotao, mainly for three reasons:

First, their martial souls are inherently incompatible, representing two extremes.

As the saying goes, ice and fire are incompatible, and the spirit is precisely the foundation of a spirit master. A spirit master's preferences will be influenced by their spirit to a certain extent.

Secondly, their personalities are also two extremes. She is quiet and reserved, while Ma Xiaotao is the complete opposite, fiery, shrewish, and noisy.

The third reason, and the most important one, is that she doesn't have enough time.

The studies in the Inner Academy are extremely rigorous. The effort and hard work she put in from entering the Inner Academy to becoming one of the Shrek Seven Devils are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

She couldn't possibly waste her cultivation time on a complete stranger, so she chose to refuse.

Just as everyone was finishing their meal, Wang Yan walked into the restaurant and saw the six members of the seed team. He was not surprised at all.

Wang Yan looked around and said in a deep voice, "The regular team; the reserve team, and Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, come with me."

""

Those who were called stood up and followed behind Wang Yan, with Xu Sanshi, who was at the very back, showing an expression of "I knew it."

The fact that he and Jiang Nannan were singled out from the seeded team suggests that they are indeed going to represent Shrek Academy in the competition.

Stepping through the door, Huo Yuhao found a very familiar figure already sitting in the conference room, and immediately greeted him, "Dean Xian."

This person was none other than Xian Lin'er. Huo Yuhao was not surprised to see her here.

With Xian Lin'er in Xingluo City, Wang Yan naturally wouldn't dare to make decisions on such an important matter as the competition on his own.

"Dean of the Immortal Academy." ×2

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen also respectfully called out to Xian Lin'er. They both remembered that the invincible shield Huo Yuhao gave them was a gift from Xian Lin'er.

In other words, the fact that they are both standing here unharmed is thanks to Xianlin'er.

Xian Lin'er smiled gently at Huo Yuhao and the other two who had spoken, "I know about what happened this time, so don't feel pressured."

The competition is secondary; your safety is the most important thing.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao felt tears welling up in her eyes. She had finally met a good teacher who truly aligned with Shrek Academy's values.

The emotions that had been building up between Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi reached their peak at this moment, and Ma Xiaotao's eyes immediately reddened.

Seeing this, Xian Lin'er thought that Ma Xiaotao was grieving for her dead teammate, so she quickly comforted her, "Xiaotao, let bygones be bygones. People should always live in the present."

Ma Xiaotao rubbed her red eyes and said sincerely, "Dean Xian, I heard Yuhao say that the invincible shield was given to him by you."

"Without the invincible shield, Luo Chen and I would probably be in trouble. Thank you so much!"

Before Ma Xiaotao could finish speaking, Xian Lin'er raised her hand to interrupt her, "Xiaotao, it's true that I gave the invincible shield to Yuhao, but the fact that you can stand here safely has nothing to do with me."

Who Yuhao gave the invincible shield to, and what it protected, is none of my business. You don't need to thank me; you should thank Yuhao.

Xian Lin'er looked at Ma Xiaotao with encouragement and affection in her eyes.

Although Ma Xiaotao is Yan Shaozhe's disciple, she will not vent her personal feelings towards Yan Shaozhe on Ma Xiaotao.

For such a talented new generation, she only hoped that they could grow up quickly and become the backbone of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao gently patted Ma Xiaotao's back, but suddenly felt a chill on his back.

This wasn't a problem with his body, but rather a notification from his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

As an extremely rare mutated spirit-type martial soul, the Spirit Eye possesses a unique ability: it can provide early warnings of external crises.

(From Chapter 2 of the original novel, the Spirit Eye possesses the ability to warn of impending danger.)

Of course, the concept of early warning is too abstract. In simpler terms, it refers to the ultimate perception of the external world.

A warning requires the existence of danger, and the existence of danger must have a source.

And this source, whether it launched an attack on him or harbored murderous intent towards him, would be accompanied by fluctuations in energy.

The so-called "Spirit Eye Warning" works by sensing this fluctuation and then transmitting a dangerous signal.

These conclusions are unfounded and were deduced by Huo Yuhao based on his perception of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

However, he felt that his reasoning was mostly correct, or rather, that most of it was correct.

The chill he felt on his back just now was a warning from his spiritual eye, indicating that someone around him harbored great malice towards him.

But this malice wasn't actually that "evil," it didn't mean to hurt him, it was more like it was full of resentment towards him.

If someone wanted to hurt him, it wouldn't have been a chill down his spine, but a stinging pain in his eyes, just like when he first entered the Star Dou Great Forest and was ambushed by the Wind Baboon.

Huo Yuhao easily pinpointed the source of this resentment: it was Wang Dong's direction.

This puzzled Huo Yuhao. Wang Dong would never do anything to harm him, so why did she harbor resentment towards him?

Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought. What had he done?

From the moment he entered the meeting room, he greeted Xian Lin'er and patted Ma Xiaotao on the back. What was there to make Wang Dong resentful?

Or perhaps it's something that happened before?

But Huo Yuhao's thinking ultimately failed; he simply couldn't think of anything he had done recently that could cause Wang Dong to harbor resentment.

Huo Yuhao quietly activated his mental detection, paying attention to Wang Dong's expression at that moment.

This is what makes spirit-type soul masters unique; they can unleash soul skills not only with soul power but also with mental power.

Wang Dong's eyes were fixed on him, her face expressionless.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Ma Xiaotao, who was still being comforted by Xian Lin'er, and patted her back gently again.

In an instant, the familiar warning from his spiritual eyes surged into his mind. This time, having been using his spiritual sense to observe Wang Dong's expression, he caught a trace of emotion called "jealousy" in his eyes.

The object of her jealousy wasn't him, but Ma Xiaotao, who was standing next to him.

As for what he was jealous of, it wasn't his patting of Ma Xiaotao's back, but rather his act of comforting Ma Xiaotao.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts suddenly became clear. Since arriving in Xingluo City, he had first accompanied Ling Luochen and the other two to Xingluo City to buy soul tools in the morning.

Then there was the fusion of the living metal, the nighttime battle with Ling Luochen, and the intimate act of applying medicine.

From Wang Dong's perspective, it's likely that he felt neglected because he went shopping with Ma Xiaotao and the others that morning without her.

That evening, seeing him and Ling Luochen applying medicine so intimately again, I felt jealous.

And then, just now, the way he comforted Ma Xiaotao made Wang Dong unhappy again.

To be honest, this was the first time, aside from holidays, that he and Wang Dong had spent the whole day in the same place without exchanging more than a few words.

Furthermore, having witnessed his intimate behavior with Ling Luochen, it's no wonder the girl was unhappy and even felt jealous.

Knowing the reason, Huo Yuhao was relieved and decided to spend more time with Wang Dong from now on.

This girl is the easiest to deal with; her attack power is extremely low, and her defense is even more shockingly low.

Because she was disguised as a man, Huo Yuhao could deliberately do things that were perfectly normal between brothers, but could make a girl's heart race to an explosive degree.

A few casual moves would be enough to make a girl cower and dare not move.

With Xian Lin'er's encouragement, Ma Xiaotao gradually calmed down. She solemnly assured Xian Lin'er, "Dean Xian, rest assured, I will definitely continue Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year reign as number one in this competition!"

"With your talent and strength, Xiaotao, I believe you can definitely do it."

Xianlin'er did not believe that Shrek Academy had any hope of winning the championship this year.

Although the participating colleges vary in strength, the ones that can truly compete for the championship are always the same few.

Shrek Academy's rivals in the past were limited to a few: the royal academies of the four great empires and a few other powerful academies.

These academies are guaranteed to have teams of all Soul Kings, and as for whether they have Soul Emperors, it's about 50/50.

Despite her thoughts, she couldn't possibly dampen the morale of her own team at this time.

"Alright." Xian Lin'er slowly stood up, drawing everyone's attention to herself, and said in a deep voice, "As you all know, an accident has occurred to one of the members of this year's main team, so we need you to fill these vacancies."

I want to clarify one point here: although you will be representing the college in the competition, you don't need to feel too much pressure.

Your stage is the grand competition five years from now. Just treat this early appearance as a regular assessment.

All you need to do is give it your all; as for the outcome, whether you succeed or fail, you don't need to care.

After Xian Lin'er finished speaking, she sat down again. Wang Yan immediately took over the conversation, "Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the teammates who will be playing."

Excluding the three players from the main team, there are still four vacancies.

To maximize our strength, my idea is to have Beibei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Jiang Nannan fill those four positions. What do you think?

Wang Yan appeared to be asking the crowd, but he was actually looking at Xian Lin'er. With this high-ranking member of the Sea God Pavilion present, he naturally wouldn't dare to make the decision alone.

Even if his decision was correct, and having four Soul Masters fill the vacancy was the best solution, he still had to give Xian Lin'er at least some face.

However, Wang Yan did not expect that his proposal would be opposed in the next second, and by all three members of the main team.

"Yuhao must play."

"I want to go on stage with Yuhao."

"Um, I need Yuhao to cooperate with me."

Wang Yan: ? ? ?
