Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

Chapter 82 Ma Xiaotao (Part Two)

"You are not—"

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Wudao interrupted her.

"You think reactivating the mark is as simple as deactivating it? I need to re-inject soul power. Lead the way!"

'

'

Yu Wudao exchanged a few words with Wang Dong before Wang Dong reluctantly saw Yu Wudao off from the dormitory.

Even though Yu Wudao had agreed to help, Ma Xiaotao's heart was still pounding as she walked down the street, and she couldn't help but curl up and lean slightly towards Yu Wudao.

A strong sense of unease gripped her heart like a giant hand.

All of this stemmed from the fact that she had lost her bargaining chip in her deal with Yu Wudao.

She remained in a dazed and confused state until she arrived at the inner courtyard.

"Reveal the mark."

"What?"

Ma Xiaotao looked up blankly, as if she hadn't heard clearly.

""

Yu Wudao pulled her in front of him expressionlessly, then reached out and lifted her shirt to reveal her smooth, delicate skin.

The rough action instantly provoked a strong reaction from Ma Xiaotao. She hurriedly reached out and braced herself against Yu Wudao's chest, trying to push him away.

Although Ma Xiaotao's physical strength was not as great as Yu Wudao's, the resistance of a Soul Emperor still caused some obstacles for Yu Wudao.

He impatiently stretched out his palm.

"Snapped!"

With a single strike, a bright red mark instantly appeared.

Ma Xiaotao's body trembled, and then she froze on the spot, not daring to move.

"Don't cause me any trouble!"

Yu Wudao stretched out his right hand and covered the mark, then a surge of soul power flowed into his fingertips.

He wasn't lying to Ma Xiaotao. When the mark was first constructed, Yu Wudao's soul power was incorporated as a bridge for his control. However, he had severed the soul power connection a few days ago, and now he needed to re-inject the soul power to control it.

Of course, it's also because Electrolux used Yu Wudao's soul power as "material" that he was able to do it this way. If he used someone else's soul power, it would have no effect no matter how much he injected it.

A short while later, the mark lit up again.

As soon as Yu Wudao had a thought, Ma Xiaotao underwent another change.

Thick, dark red gas surged from all over her body! Unable to control herself, Ma Xiaotao summoned her Martial Soul, and then the phoenix behind her let out a comfortable cry. A vast amount of black gas surged out from it and gathered on the mark below her abdomen!

The changes lasted for nearly ten minutes before stopping, and Yu Wudao knew from this that Ma Xiaotao must have been completely unrestrained during this time.

"ha----"

Ma Xiaotao lay on the ground, panting, and looked at Yu Wudao with a strange expression.

Yu Wudao merely glanced at her indifferently, then stood up, turned around, and walked in the direction he was leaving.

Upon seeing this, Ma Xiaotao's previously rosy cheeks immediately turned pale. She hurriedly crawled forward a few steps and then grabbed Yu Wudao's legs tightly.

"Don't go! You haven't—I—don't go! I'll accept whatever you want, please!"

Yu Wudao turned to look at her, his dark eyes like an abyss, revealing no emotion.

He squatted down, pinched Ma Xiaotao's chin, and said expressionlessly, "Weren't you very confident in your chips? Where did your confidence go?"

Ma Xiaotao shook her head, her face pale.

Upon seeing Ma Xiaotao's reaction, Yu Wudao's cold and hard face softened.

This is a trial —

"Do you think I planted this mark on you just for such a trivial matter?"

Ma Xiaotao, I am the great-granddaughter of the Dragon God Douluo! What kind of woman can't I have? My fiancée is a peerless genius like Sister Le Xuan, standing at the pinnacle of the continent! Do you really think I'd even look at you?

Why should I? Just because you're provocative?

Such derogatory words, even if Ma Xiaotao didn't refute them in the past, would have at least expressed her disdain through her expression.

But at this moment, she bit her lip, her pale face showing a look of impending tears.

"I'm telling you! I'm doing all this for the academy! For all living beings!"

Yu Wudao spoke with a firm tone, as if he were truly a savior bearing a heavy responsibility. He cupped Ma Xiaotao's cheeks, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Do you know that the evil spirit masters have now formed a massive organization? And the combat power of this organization is no less than that of the academy!"

Ma Xiaotao's expression froze for a moment, then her pale face instantly turned to one of shock. She even forgot her worries about Xie Huo and said incredulously, "How is this possible! The academy has a history of ten thousand years and has so many titled Douluo and Super Douluo level experts, and even has someone with extreme combat power like Elder Mu in charge!"

How could a mere organization of evil spirit masters possibly compare to an academy?!

"snort!"

Yu Wudao sneered and then said, "Naive! More than four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided. The evil soul masters who had their living space squeezed out by Shrek Academy on the Douluo Continent flocked to the Sun Moon Continent and formed a powerful organization there!"

"Don't disbelieve me, this is information my great-grandfather personally gathered! I've even heard that another Dark Holy Dragon, Long Xiaoyao, who is on par with my great-grandfather, has joined this organization!"

"What?!"

Ma Xiaotao looked horrified.

She did not doubt its authenticity, because it was common knowledge among the upper echelons of the inner court that Mu En and Yu Wudao had a very good relationship.

Yu Wudao cursed "idiot" inwardly, but outwardly continued without revealing his thoughts: "Your Evil Fire Phoenix possesses extremely powerful evil qualities! That's why I deliberately planted this mark on you, and then used constant humiliation to nourish the hatred in your heart!"

The goal is to purify your martial soul without affecting your sanity, allowing you to use the power of this mark to disguise yourself as an evil soul master! Then, you can infiltrate this organization to prepare for the academy's future extermination of evil and cleansing of the continent!

Ma Xiaotao, are you willing to do this for the sake of the academy?

After she finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao's expression changed several times before she finally revealed genuine remorse.

She said, "I'm sorry, Wudao. I misunderstood you before. I never imagined you would do this for me and the academy—"

I—I actually—”

Yu Wudao waved his hand, looking indifferent.

"Don't worry about me, just tell me if you're willing."

As Ma Xiaotao felt her unease gradually dissipate, she hurriedly nodded.

"Of course I'm willing! I'm willing to do anything for the academy! Besides, Wudao, you've already sacrificed so much—"

""

After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed, and she looked up at Yu Wudao cautiously.

"It would be even better if you could be a little gentler with me in the future, Wudao."

Yu Wudao raised the corners of his mouth, looking at Ma Xiaotao with an inexplicable gaze, as if admiring his own work.

Kindness can easily evoke love.
