What You Can't Have Will Always Stir Restlessly

"Bang!!"

Ma Xiaotao barged into her teacher's office, the loud banging of the door almost startling Yan Shaozhe so much that he dropped his teacup.

"Xiaotao! How many times have I told you to knock before coming in? Why are you still so clumsy? How will you ever get married?"

Yan Shaozhe frowned as he watched Ma Xiaotao barge in so recklessly. He then carefully picked up his teacup and began to lecture her like a mother hen.

After all, Ma Xiaotao was raised by Yan Shaozhe. He was both her father and mother, not only managing Ma Xiaotao cultivation but also her reckless behavior.

It can be said that Yan Shaozhe was hoping that Ma Xiaotao would marry into a good family in the future, which was also a matter of great concern to him.

"Teacher! Stop lecturing me! I sensed an Ultimate Ice- attribute Soul Master in the New Student Dormitory today!"

Normally, Ma Xiaotao would have made an excuse to run away long ago when faced with her teacher Yan Shaozhe's nagging, motherly lectures. But this time, she had every reason to refute him.

"Click!"

"What?! Xiaotao Peach, you can't be mistaken, can you? There's actually an Ultimate Ice- attribute Soul Master among this year's freshmen? Impossible! Every freshman's information has passed through my hands; I can't possibly miss anyone!"

As usual, Yan Shaozhe lectured Ma Xiaotao in a motherly tone, but he was interrupted by Ma Xiaotao as soon as he opened his mouth.

He was already quite annoyed, but then Ma Xiaotao said something that shocked him so much that he lost control and crushed his most beloved tea set.

Tea spilled all over his hand, but none of that mattered. Right now, Yan Shaozhe's mind was filled with the unexpected discovery that a Soul Master with the Limit Ice attribute was hidden among this year's freshmen.

"Teacher? Could it be that when he registered the enrollment information, he also registered a Martial Soul information?"

Ma Xiaotao knew how dedicated her teacher was; every year, in order to try her luck, she would personally review all the Martial Soul information of all the new students who entered Shrek Academy.

After all, Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the Douluo Continent. Every year, so many geniuses want to the Shrek Academy, but they are disappointed year after year.

After all, Soul Master with extreme attributes are extremely rare, even rarer than those with Twin Martial Souls.

"Xiaotao, you mean he's both Soul Master with the Limit Ice attribute and a Twin Martial Souls? Hahaha! What a Little Monster!"

Yan Shaozhe suddenly remembered those two prodigies he'd been bickering with Qian Duoduo before! Huo Yuhao and Tang San! Yan Shaozhe's cheerful tone surprised Ma Xiaotao, after all, hadn't their teacher said that none of the new students registered for Martial Soul this year possessed the Limit Ice attribute? "Soul Master? Do you have a target in mind? Who is it! I'll go find them right now! I don't want to endure being tormented by the Evil Fire Xiaotao another second! Humph! Ling Luochen absolutely refused to help suppress the Evil Fire, and now that she's met Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice attribute, she's green with envy!"

Thinking of something happy, Ma Xiaotao immediately crossed her arms and became smug. After all, Ling Luochen had always been at odds with her and was very dissatisfied with her as the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils! Moreover, there was Dai Yueheng, who was from the Shrek Academy. Judging from the teacher's expression, Ma Xiaotao seemed to already know which junior brother or sister it was, and she was overjoyed.

"Xiaotao, don't bother the juniors yet. Geniuses will always shine, right? Let's wait and see which Little Monster it is! Hehe! With Twin Martial Souls plus an Ultimate Ice attribute Martial Soul, his other Martial Soul must be of even higher quality."

Yan Shaozhe suddenly felt less anxious about finding the hidden Ultimate Ice attribute Soul Master. He had waited for so many years, so a few more days wouldn't make a difference.

"But! Teacher, my Evil Fire has been hindering my cultivation. In that case, I'll go and find them one by one myself!"

Ma Xiaotao was worried when she saw her teacher Yan Shaozhe suddenly become very casual and not in a hurry at all, after all, Ma Xiaotao had been suffering from Evil Fire for many years.

After all, this Evil Fire had been haunting Ma Xiaotao since she Martial Soul Awakening at the age of 6, constantly influencing her mind and causing her to indulge her desires.

"Xiaotao! What kind of behavior is this! You're the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils! Those are your juniors! When are you going to change your hot-tempered and reckless personality! Go back and reflect on this!"

Yan Shaozhe wanted to take advantage of Ma Xiaotao's anxious mood to temper her fiery personality and prevent her from doing something she would regret for the rest of her life.

"Teacher! You... Humph!"

Seeing her teacher Yan Shaozhe's serious and uncompromising expression, Ma Xiaotao could only stomp her feet in frustration, pout, and slam the door shut as she stormed out.

"Sigh... Teacher Xiaotao did this for your own good. If I hadn't been so impulsive back then... my child might be this big by now..."

Yan Shaozhe looked at the fiery red figure flying towards the Inner Courtyard with complicated eyes and muttered to himself. He saw his own shadow in his disciple Ma Xiaotao.

Yan Shaozhe didn't want Ma Xiaotao to follow in his footsteps and make a decision she would regret for the rest of her life because of a moment of impulse.

Ma Xiaotao returned to her dormitory and threw herself onto her bed, her mind filled with thoughts of that unknown junior or senior who possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute.

"Ugh!!! Seriously! Why won't the teacher let me go find that freshman who's hiding?!"

Ma Xiaotao could only sulk, her cheeks puffed up with anger, and she kicked and thrashed her legs wildly while hugging the blanket.

"Perhaps the teacher wants me to calm down. If I rush around asking each new student, I'll definitely scare them! Oh dear!"

Ma Xiaotao felt her face starting to burn. She felt that if she did something irrational on her own impulse, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

"What if that Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice attribute is a boy? No way! The age difference is too big, I could be his older sister!"

Ma Xiaotao thought of those couples who complemented each other during their Martial Soul cultivation, and immediately started imagining it. After all, Ma Xiaotao was only 19 years old this year.

Putting aside her Soul Master cultivation, she's just a little girl longing for love, but with her level 62 Soul Emperor cultivation, finding a compatible partner will be difficult.

The main reason is that the highest cultivation level among the new students is only Three Ring Soul Elder, which can only suppress his Evil Fire, since the difference in their Soul Power Level is too great.

Before reaching the Soul King, one can rely on their foundation to fight beyond their level, but after reaching the Soul Emperor level, the difference will become increasingly significant, especially when one reaches the level 70 Soul Saint and possesses Martial Soul Avatar.

That was something that couldn't be compensated for by skill and experience, which made Ma Xiaotao very conflicted. She hoped that the Ultimate Ice attribute Soul Master was a boy, but she was also afraid that the other party would reject her like Ling Luochen did.

Ma Xiaotao began to feel anxious and insecure; sometimes, what you can't have always seems more alluring.
