Chapter 113 Don't push your luck at such a young age!
The teacher was taken aback by Wang Dong's sudden question, and his expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
He has taught at this academy for many years, and every student he has met has treated him with utmost respect and courtesy.
Even the most gifted and exceptionally talented individuals would respectfully address him as "Teacher."
But this young man with rosy lips and white teeth dared to question him like this in front of him; he was simply ignorant of his own limitations!
He looked at the stubborn boy in front of him, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
He was about to reprimand them when another teacher beside him gently stopped him.
Teacher Li patted his companion's arm, signaling him to calm down, and then stepped forward with a smiling expression on his face.
"Young man, please don't be hasty," he said gently. "This matter involves the secrets of the inner courtyard and cannot be known to outsiders, so please understand."
"However, this was indeed the academy's mistake, so..."
With a flick of his wrist, four green pills flew out from his sleeve and shot towards the four students around him.
"The college will also give you some compensation."
Huo Yuhao subconsciously reached out and caught it, then looked down at it.
The pill was entirely emerald green, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, and several fine lines could be faintly seen on its surface.
He recognized the Soul-Ascending Pill; it was somewhat beneficial for cultivating soul power and was considered a precious elixir.
Wang Dong glanced at the pill in his hand, curled his lip, and snorted coldly: "You think you can bribe us with just one Soul Ascension Pill?"
Originally, he was full of curiosity and longing for Shrek Academy.
But now?
After actually entering the academy, his experiences over the past few days have been nothing short of disappointing.
First it was that old witch-like homeroom teacher Zhou Yi, and now it's these two teachers.
What do they consider trainees?
Wang Dong grew angrier the more she thought about it; her small face was tense, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Seeing Wang Dong's lack of understanding of the situation, Teacher Li's smile also faded.
His tone turned serious: "Giving you a Soul Ascension Pill is already a decent compensation."
"Don't push your luck at such a young age."
"you……"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong clenched her fists, her delicate face turning bright red.
She was about to retort when Huo Yuhao stopped her.
Huo Yuhao took a step forward, shielding Wang Dong behind him.
He raised his head, looked calmly at the two teachers in front of him, and said indifferently, "Teachers, why don't you examine this senior student from the inner academy first?"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's calm tone, the two teachers suppressed their anger and turned their attention to Ma Xiaotao, who was frozen in ice.
Seeing that the evil fire had been brought under control, they paid less attention to Ma Xiaotao and focused their attention on Huo Yuhao and the others.
After all, if these four witnesses are not properly dealt with, their dereliction of duty will not be resolved amicably.
As for Ma Xiaotao, since her evil fire has been suppressed, what else could happen?
But Huo Yuhao's reminder made them realize something was wrong.
Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire was already close to its ultimate level, how could it be easily frozen?
The two men's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly squatted down to carefully examine Ma Xiaotao's condition.
This investigation is quite significant.
Their faces turned deathly pale instantly.
This isn't just a case of the evil fire being controlled; it's clearly a death sentence!
They discovered that the ice that had frozen Ma Xiaotao was extremely cold.
What's even more terrifying is that this chill didn't seal Ma Xiaotao from the outside, but rather... it surged out from inside her body.
So now, Ma Xiaotao's body is not only frozen in ice.
Her internal organs, her flesh and blood, her meridians, everything in her body was permeated by that chill. (Latest update: Douluo: Huo Yuhao's dual transmigration into the peerless dragon king was frozen by that chill.)
The only thing keeping her from completely dying was the phoenix evil fire within her body.
Although the flames were violent and difficult to control, they became her last lifeline at this moment.
It burned with all its might, resisting the chill surging from all over her body, protecting the last glimmer of life in her heart.
But the chill was too strong. Although the evil fire was still persisting, it was already retreating step by step and was about to be completely extinguished.
The moment the evil fire is extinguished will be the moment Ma Xiaotao dies.
Both teachers' hands were shaking. Who is Ma Xiaotao?
That's Yan Shaozhe's personal disciple, the dean of the Spirit Department! He cherishes her like a precious gem! She's one of the most dazzling geniuses among the younger generation at Shrek Academy!
If she died... they didn't dare to think about it.
They knew Yan Shaozhe all too well.
He appears serious, fair, and impartial on the surface, but his mind is smaller than the eye of a needle.
He will hold a grudge against anyone who offends him for the rest of his life.
If Ma Xiaotao were to die now under their care, would Yan Shaozhe let them go?
At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else. Ma Xiaotao's breath was getting weaker and weaker. If he delayed any longer, she might really die.
He took a deep breath, and his soul power surged wildly throughout his body.
Seventh Soul Skill - Martial Soul True Body.
Suddenly, an enormous, emerald-green ancient tree appeared out of nowhere and stood on the shore of Poseidon Lake.
The ancient tree was lush and leafy, with a trunk so thick that it took several people to encircle it, and every leaf emitted a shimmering green light.
A rich sense of life instantly spread out, like a spring breeze sweeping across the earth, enveloping everything around it.
The two sisters, Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu, who had been trembling with fear, felt their minds instantly relax after being immersed in this life force.
The trembling body gradually calmed down, and the fear in the eyes faded somewhat.
Ma Xiaotao's condition was not a simple injury, but rather that everything had been frozen by the extreme cold of the ultimate ice.
Although the Tree of Life is a top-tier healing-type martial soul, it is completely unable to resolve this "symptom".
All he could do was prolong Ma Xiaotao's life.
Another teacher nearby was also extremely anxious, pacing back and forth, but unable to help at all.
He could only watch helplessly as Ma Xiaotao's breathing grew stronger and weaker, and as time ticked away.
Suddenly, he stopped.
Their gazes fell on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
There were only a few of them here just now. Those two blue-haired girls were clearly victims; they could only tremble the whole time.
Therefore, the ice-attribute soul master who just froze Ma Xiaotao could only be one of the other two kids.
The aloofness that he once held as a teacher was no longer visible on his face.
He walked up to Huo Yuhao, bent down, and made his line of sight level with the boy.
Then, a smile appeared on his face.
The smile was somewhat stiff, somewhat forced, and even carried a hint of ingratiation.
He tried his best to make his tone sound gentle, sincere, and...as if he were asking for a favor.
"Young man, was it you who just used that soul skill?"
Huo Yuhao nodded, his expression calm as still water: "It's my soul skill."
He neither denied nor explained.
He intervened to save people, not to take anyone's life.
The teacher's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped at the last straw.
He leaned forward, his tone becoming increasingly urgent: "Then... classmate, could you dispel the ice on her body?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the frozen figure not far away, his eyes filled with expectation and a hint of barely perceptible pleading.
