If You Don't Help Again, I Think Something's Going to Happen to Me

"No problem!"

After receiving Dai Yueheng's suggestion, Lin Sheng did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately mobilized all the Soul Power in his body and poured it into the Soul Tool he carried with him.

As a Soul King-level Soul Engineer, he might not have been a match for powerhouses like Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao in a one-on-one fight, but interfering and stalling were no problem for him. After all, without enough strength and talent, he could never have filled the Shrek Seven Devils' vacancy after Ma Xiaotao left the team.

"What can the two of you do even if you attack together?"

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao chuckled. Her beautiful face was filled with disdain.

This battle concerned whether she could become a member of the Shrek Seven Devils again, or even rejoin the team. So she had to win—and win beautifully. Only then would Dai Yueheng truly accept the result.

As for Lin Sheng, the Soul Engineer, she had never cared about him. The Shrek Seven Devils could not be missing a single person, except for a Soul Engineer, who was not strictly necessary. That was why neither Dai Yueheng nor the other team members cared about whether Lin Sheng might completely replace someone. What they cared about was whether Ma Xiaotao could become captain again.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fireline!"

"Second Soul Skill, Phoenix!"

Ma Xiaotao instantly unleashed her two great Soul Skills, forcing even Dai Yueheng, who was also a Soul Emperor, to defend with all his strength.

"Mu En, how is it going?"

At that moment, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Spirit System, appeared beside Mu En at some point.

Watching the duel between his own disciple and Dai Yueheng, a trace of surprise and confusion flashed through his bright eyes.

Was this meant to have Ma Xiaotao protect Li Changsheng from any harm while facing the attacks of both Dai Yueheng and Lin Sheng?

If so, unless there was a time limit, Ma Xiaotao might not necessarily be able to pull it off. The gap in strength between Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao was already very small, not to mention Lin Sheng, a Soul King-level Soul Engineer, assisting and interfering from the side.

"It's only just begun," Mu En replied.

"Mu En, why did you decide to bring this child into the inner courtyard? And is he just going to stand there and do nothing?" Yan Shaozhe asked, deeply puzzled.

Although he had long since formed a guess, without Mu En answering or explaining, it was not appropriate for him to voice it himself or confirm it.

"I want to see just how strong this child's martial soul defense is."

Mu En smiled faintly. "As for why he isn't moving, he probably wants to see how much power Xiaotao can unleash without the suppression of her evil fire."

"Then, Mu En, do you think Xiaotao can win?"

As the dean of Shrek Academy and Ma Xiaotao's teacher, whether out of personal feelings or reason, Yan Shaozhe naturally hoped that Ma Xiaotao would win. In terms of talent, throughout the entire inner courtyard, only Zhang Lexuan could surpass her.

"Whether she wins is not for us to decide."

Mu En shook his head and said softly, "If that child doesn't contribute, Xiaotao will definitely lose. But if he does, she can win with ease."

"It seems you have high expectations for him, Mu En."

Yan Shaozhe laughed, though inwardly, he was already considering whether he should betroth Ma Xiaotao to him.

Before this, he had intended for Beibei and Ma Xiaotao to be together, because both of their martial souls were among the finest beast martial souls.

Coupled with their identities and talents, not only he but even the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion had shared that idea in the beginning.

Yet no one had expected Mu En to bring back Zhang Lexuan, a genius whose talent was even more terrifying than Ma Xiaotao's.

They had thought Zhang Lexuan and Beibei would become a perfect couple and lead Shrek Academy to greater heights, but then Tang Ya appeared out of nowhere. It had truly been one twist after another.

So, after realizing Ma Xiaotao had no chance with Beibei, he turned his attention to Li Changsheng.

Setting aside his cultivation talent and Twin Martial Souls, just his ability to restrain the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao was enough to move Yan Shaozhe.

After all, the reason Ma Xiaotao had left the Shrek Seven Devils' team was that the evil fire had affected her, making it impossible for her to continue cultivating.

Otherwise, by now, she would have raised her Soul Power Level to seventy and become a Soul Saint.

A Soul Saint before the age of twenty—across the entire Douluo Continent, there were only a handful of people who could compare to her.

"Of course. At the very least, I believe it should be no problem for him to reach your current realm in the future," Mu En said, not bothering to hide it as he nodded directly.

"Oh? Then this student will have to watch closely."

His cultivation had already reached the realm of a Super Douluo. If Li Changsheng could reach that level too, there was no need to think about it—his combat power would definitely surpass Yan Shaozhe's. After all, Li Changsheng possessed Twin Martial Souls.

But how was the flaw of Twin Martial Souls supposed to be resolved?

At that thought, Yan Shaozhe turned to glance at the elder beside him. Seeing no emotion on the other man's face, he ultimately held back.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ma Xiaotao was beginning to struggle as well.

Just as Dai Yueheng used Lin Sheng's cover to Teleport in front of Ma Xiaotao and prepared to rake her viciously with a claw, a massive golden pagoda suddenly enveloped her delicate body.

With a deafening boom, Ma Xiaotao steadied herself and swiftly retreated. Dai Yueheng's attack and Lin Sheng's shells all crashed onto the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

"What?!"

Dai Yueheng, who had been knocked back, underwent a drastic change in expression. He had never expected that, without using a single Soul Skill, a Soul Elder could actually withstand the attacks of both of them!

"Hehe, Senior Sister, are you all right?"

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's graceful back, Li Changsheng grinned and offered a token show of concern.

"If you don't help again, I think something's going to happen to me!"

Ma Xiaotao turned around and glared at Li Changsheng before unleashing her Fifth Soul Skill. "Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike!"

She had originally intended to attack Dai Yueheng, but after hearing Mu En's request, she immediately changed her target.

Though she did not know Mu En's reasons, she neither hesitated nor asked any questions. She simply obeyed with unusual compliance.

"Lin Sheng, eliminated!"

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe hurriedly acted and removed Lin Sheng from the sparring grounds.

"Sixth Soul Skill, White Tiger Destruction Kill!"

Dai Yueheng's eyes lit up. Seizing this excellent opportunity, he immediately unleashed his strongest single-target attack.

Ma Xiaotao had just eliminated Lin Sheng when she saw Dai Yueheng's Sixth Soul Skill charging straight at her. Her pupils contracted instinctively as she prepared to take it head-on with her body.

Although doing so would leave her seriously injured, at least one opponent had already been removed.

"Xiaotao!"

Yan Shaozhe wanted to intervene in time, but Mu En stopped him from the side. "No rush. Let's watch a little longer."

He wore a smile, as though everything was under his control—or perhaps he simply did not care whether Ma Xiaotao was injured.
