Walls Have Ears—Ma Xiaotao, Don't Listen

At Shrek Academy, only those at the Titled Douluo level can enter the Sea God Pavilion.

Today happened to be Yan Shaozhe's turn on duty. The moment he saw that Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, his eyes went wide.

All this time, Yan Shaozhe had been searching for a way to resolve the evil fire within his disciple Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix.

Unfortunately, there were many methods, but most of them were ineffective. The only one that had any effect was using the water attribute of Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Martial Soul within the academy to suppress it.

That was merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

To completely restrain the evil fire of Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix, which was nearly Ultimate Fire, it would have to possess the Ultimate Ice attribute.

But an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul was extremely difficult to find. Even with the power of the world-famous Shrek Academy, they had failed to find a single one all these years.

Yan Shaozhe had been tormented by this for a long time and was almost ready to give up.

Who would have thought that he would see Ultimate Ice within the academy today? He abruptly rose from the conference table, his eyes wide, and his figure vanished from the Sea God Pavilion.

On the other side, the First Soul Skill, Thousand Mile Ice Seal, and the Second Soul Skill, Blizzard Flying, formed a blizzard domain covering nearly a hundred meters of Sea God Lake.

Lin Yu stood at the center of the blizzard. He had not expected the power of his two soul skills to stack and form another uniquely gifted domain.

Snow Empress praised, "Within this domain, the power of the icy effect is enough to rival a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill. Soul Masters below level twenty will be frozen to the point of losing their ability to move, while Soul Grandmasters below level thirty who enter the blizzard will lose fifty percent of their vision and fifty percent of their mobility."

Lin Yu said, "It sounds powerful, but why does it feel like anyone below level twenty doesn't need to fight me, while anyone above level twenty is someone I can't beat? After releasing these two soul rings, I have no means of attacking left."

Snow Empress laughed heartily. "That's true. But don't you still have the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul? That should count as a top-tier offensive Martial Soul. Although you haven't added your first soul ring to it yet, it already possesses formidable offensive power by itself."

Lin Yu said, "The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul isn't that easy to control. Don't be fooled by how many Martial Souls I have now. Every one of them is a top-tier Martial Soul. Controlling the Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul has already consumed all my mental energy. If I want to control the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul at the same time, I'll need to spend some more time adapting to it."

Snow Empress said, "That's true. You weren't born with these two top-tier Martial Souls, and your own Soul Master talent isn't particularly high. You need a long period of adjustment to synchronize with them."

It was difficult for an ordinary person to properly control even one top-tier Martial Soul.

Although Lin Yu possessed two top-tier Martial Souls, he knew his talent was limited, so he had always used only the Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul.

This was also part of his training. Once he faced the danger of actual combat, Snow Empress and Qian Renxue would still take action. He would never place himself in danger.

"Are they here yet?"

Lin Yu had deliberately released these two soul skills and created such a huge disturbance in order to fish for someone.

"As you wished, someone really has come to see you."

Snow Empress had already sensed that many people were approaching from the sky. Leading the way was Yan Shaozhe, followed by many Titled Douluo.

Yan Shaozhe hovered in midair, looking down at the blizzard Lin Yu had released.

He exclaimed, "Ultimate Ice! It really is Ultimate Ice! It appeared right under my nose. After all these years, I've finally found it."

With Yan Shaozhe's eyesight, finding an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul was extremely difficult. After all, Ma Xiaotao complained to him about feeling terrible every day, and it had made him suffer for a long time as well.

Was it because he had not worked hard? He had put a great deal of effort into searching. He simply had not found one.

Now that he had discovered this Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, Yan Shaozhe was incredibly excited. He wished he could immediately take the boy below to Ma Xiaotao.

But one of his subordinates stopped him. "Dean, this person is somewhat unfamiliar. He's wearing a new student uniform, but anyone can tell from his appearance that he's already an adult. He doesn't meet the academy's requirements for new student admission at all. Moreover, his first and second soul rings are both Thousand-Year Spirit Rings."

Taken individually, none of these traits were unusual within the academy. But when they were combined, even Dean Yan Shaozhe could not help frowning.

"Why does he feel like someone of unknown origin? Investigate his records for me first. Let's see who he is."

Soon, a Titled Douluo personally went to check the new student records.

When he returned, he already had Lin Yu's information in hand.

Yan Shaozhe's brows furrowed even more deeply after looking over the records. "This person is from somewhere else, and even his identity card looks like a forgery. He also entered through the Tang Sect's exemption quota. It came through that girl Tang Ya."

"The more I look at this person, the more problems I find."

They had initially thought that Lin Yu's new student records would at least clarify a few things.

Who would have thought that the records would instead reveal even more problems?

Everything proved one thing to Yan Shaozhe: "This person deliberately infiltrated the academy."

But if he had deliberately infiltrated the academy, why had he caused such a huge disturbance? The blizzard created by his two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings had already attracted everyone's attention.

He had effectively exposed himself.

Yan Shaozhe had lived for so many years, yet he still could not understand the intentions of the boy below.

The other Titled Douluo were also completely baffled. One of them suggested, "Dean, why don't we capture him and interrogate him?"

Shrek Academy was not a gentle academy. It had its own methods of interrogation.

But Yan Shaozhe refused. "Let's observe him for a few days first and see what happens. After all, he entered through the Tang Sect's exemption quota. It wouldn't be good if that girl Tang Ya came asking me to hand him over."

That was merely an excuse. In truth, Yan Shaozhe did not dare touch Lin Yu. Someone with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul could help Ma Xiaotao tremendously, and he did not want any unexpected complications.

However, Yan Shaozhe also felt that it would be inappropriate to seek out Lin Yu rashly. Who would want to send their disciple someone of unknown origin?

Thus, after thinking it over again and again, Yan Shaozhe decided that it would be best to observe him for a few days.

Little did he know that he had fallen straight into Lin Yu's trap. That was exactly what Lin Yu wanted: for these people to come observe him for a few days.

Snow Empress laughed. "Hahaha, they've fallen for it. Then there's no need to keep pretending. We can stop now."

Lin Yu said, "That won't do yet. I still have to keep releasing my soul skills."

Snow Empress asked in surprise, "You've already attracted their attention. Why do you still need to release your soul skills? Isn't that redundant?"

Lin Yu said, "Continuing to release soul skills here will attract the attention of even more people. Those people above are only the first wave."

Snow Empress could not figure out what Lin Yu was thinking. But over the next several days, she saw Lin Yu go to Sea God Lake every day to release soul skills and create a blizzard.

Every new student and senior student who passed by noticed this strange person.

But they could not help being stunned by his two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and his top-tier Ultimate Ice Martial Soul.

"His first and second rings are actually Thousand-Year Spirit Rings. That's incredible."

"He even has a top-tier Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. When did the academy get a genius like this?"

"His name is Lin Yu?"

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Over the past few days, Lin Yu had gone to Sea God Lake to create blizzards, attracting the attention of many new and senior students.

The entire Outer Academy was talking about him. Before long, the news reached the Inner Court, where a girl named Ma Xiaotao heard about it.
