"How could this happen?"
Yan Shaozhe frowned deeply.
Logically speaking, Elder Zhuang was a Super Douluo. He should not have been unable to heal Ma Xiaotao.
After all, Ma Xiaotao was only a Soul Emperor.
With injuries like hers, Elder Zhuang should have been able to treat them effortlessly.
"I used my Tree of Life martial soul to treat her. Once the life energy entered her body, it was absorbed and converted by her Ultimate Life attribute, worsening Xiaotao's injuries instead."
"Xiaotao's Extreme Ice can be removed, but doing so would not help her suppress the evil fire."
Elder Zhuang was quite embarrassed.
Ever since becoming a Titled Douluo, he had never encountered such troublesome injuries.
Even Mu En's injuries could benefit somewhat from the Tree of Life. At the very least, it would not make them worse.
"Does that mean the injuries Tang Feng caused can only be treated by Tang Feng himself?"
The corner of Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched.
His own disciple had just attacked the other party and injured the Young Master of Haotian Sect.
Now he had to swallow his pride and ask Tang Feng to treat Ma Xiaotao. Yan Shaozhe simply could not bring himself to do it.
"Isn't that simple?"
"Kid surnamed Tang, come over here and treat Xiaotao's injuries."
Xuan Zi waved him over.
In his eyes, this was no big deal at all!
If he had known that Tang Feng could treat Mu En's injuries, he probably would have tied him up and dragged him here long ago.
"It's not impossible."
"By market rates, if you want me to treat someone, the starting price is one Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone."
Tang Feng spoke frankly.
About a year ago, when an old marquis of the Star Luo Empire had asked him to provide treatment, he had paid him a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
This was common knowledge among the major nobles of the Star Luo Empire.
If everyone came to him for treatment, wouldn't he end up as busy as the Immortal Doctor Douluo?
"You brat, you dare jack up the price?"
Xuan Zi's aura erupted.
The pressure of a 98th Level Super Douluo swept outward in an instant, causing the surrounding air to boom.
Yet Tang Feng remained unmoved.
Standing beside Wang Dong, he felt no pressure at all.
"Elder Xuan, what are you doing?"
Zhang Lexuan was dressed in red.
She had just rushed back from outside the academy.
She stopped in front of Tang Feng and Wang Dong, helping the two of them "block" the pressure.
Mu En had specifically instructed her not to let Tang Feng suffer any grievances at Shrek Academy.
Yet she had merely gone out to handle something.
The moment she returned to the academy, she saw this scene before her.
"I told this brat to treat Xiaotao, but he's demanding a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone."
Xuan Zi blew out his beard and glared.
Did he think Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were cabbages that could be picked up anywhere?
In the end, Tang Feng was the one who had injured Ma Xiaotao. Otherwise, she would not even need treatment.
"Tang Feng, tell me what happened."
Zhang Lexuan turned to look at Tang Feng.
The moment she saw him, the scene from last night at the Soul Fighting Arena surfaced uncontrollably in her mind.
A faint blush appeared on her originally fair face.
"Wasn't it that Evil Spirit Master who attacked the two of us for no reason?"
"So I panicked and hit her a little too hard. Who knew she couldn't take a beating? I nearly beat her to death."
"The Green-clad Senior can't treat these injuries, so these old men want me to do it. Naturally, it has to be at market price."
Tang Feng gave a rough explanation.
Without a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, he would not treat her.
As for Ma Xiaotao attacking them, the Clear Sky Sect Leader and Xu Jiawei could discuss that privately with Shrek.
"Xiaotao's evil fire erupted?"
Zhang Lexuan turned to look.
Sure enough, Ma Xiaotao was already unconscious and covered in injuries.
Her abdomen had clearly been pierced through by the Blue Silver Battle Spear. There were also several sword wounds across her body, covered by a layer of ice crystals.
"Elder Xuan, Dean Yan, Xiaotao was at fault here. We should compensate them as we should, rather than let people think Shrek Academy is overbearing and unreasonable."
Zhang Lexuan spoke slowly.
She held the Imperial Sword in her hand, so she remained confident even before the Elders.
Mu En had once said—
Everything should be done with Tang Feng's interests as the priority.
"Lexuan, this has nothing to do with you."
"Have this brat heal Xiaotao, and we'll put this matter behind us."
Xuan Zi waved his hand.
As the second most important figure in Sea God Pavilion, his words still carried great weight.
Other than Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, no one could suppress him.
"Lexuan, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is too expensive."
Yan Shaozhe truly could not bear to part with it.
With the Star Luo Emperor and the Clear Sky Sect Leader demanding compensation afterward, who knew how much they would have to pay?
Judging by Tang Feng's expression, he clearly had no intention of accepting the offer of two Soul Ascension Pills.
"Elder Xuan, Mu En asked me to take good care of Tang Feng at Shrek Academy."
"If you do not accept that, I can invite Mu En here to confront the Elders."
Zhang Lexuan remained calm.
Her original task truly had been to look after Tang Feng and ensure that he would not be harmed.
Who could have expected a Healing System soul master like Tang Feng to possess such formidable strength?
Even she, the Senior Disciple Sister of the Inner Academy, had suffered a hidden loss at his hands.
"Mu En values this brat?"
Xuan Zi was slightly stunned.
Since Mu En had spoken, there had to be a reason for it.
In the eyes of the Elders—
Although Tang Feng possessed dual ultimate attributes, he was still a citizen of the Star Luo Empire.
They would not devote all their efforts to nurturing Tang Feng, only to create a powerful opponent for Shrek Academy in the future.
Shrek Academy cooperated with the three great empires, but their relationship was nowhere near as harmonious as people imagined.
"Could it be that Mu En wants to take him as a disciple?"
"This brat possesses not only Ultimate Life, but also Extreme Ice."
Xuan Zi pondered inwardly.
Why had he not thought of taking Tang Feng as a disciple and drawing him into Shrek Academy?
It was rather laughable that no one in the Star Luo Empire had chosen Tang Feng as a disciple.
Without a deeper bond, why would Tang Feng firmly stand on the Star Luo Empire's side in the future?
The Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei was probably planning to marry Xu Jiujiu to Tang Feng. That would make sense.
"Shaozhe, handle this yourself!"
Xuan Zi took the initiative to step back.
If Mu En intended to take Tang Feng as his disciple, then the soul bone would not truly be lost to outsiders.
After all, Mu En's disciple would certainly become a pillar of Sea God Pavilion in the future.
Xu Jiawei wanted to bind Tang Feng to his side with just one woman. He was underestimating Shrek Academy far too much.
Shrek Academy had plenty of outstanding women.
Among them, Ma Xiaotao was very suitable for Tang Feng. Extreme Ice perfectly suppressed Phoenix Evil Fire, and the two could be said to have become acquainted through a fight.
If Tang Feng did not like Ma Xiaotao, there was still Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, and the others.
As long as Tang Feng took a liking to one of them, Shrek would steal away Xu Jiawei's prospective brother-in-law.
"One Twenty Thousand Year Soul Bone, and we'll write this matter off. You will also heal Xiaotao's injuries."
Yan Shaozhe offered his greatest sincerity.
He planned to use one Twenty Thousand Year Soul Bone to cover both the compensation and the treatment fee.
That would save them quite a bit of trouble afterward.
The Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei was no simple man. He was absolutely the sort of ruthless figure who devoured people without leaving bones behind.
"Two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. The Clear Sky Sect's compensation is separate."
Tang Feng did not particularly need soul bones.
Even a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was not as useful as his tags. Soul skills only served as supplementary abilities for him.
Still, Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones could be sold in exchange for soul bones suitable for Tang Ya.
Comparatively speaking, two ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were worth more than one Twenty Thousand Year Soul Bone.
