Seeing Ma Xiaotao Again

The following morning, Zhou Huan stood by the Sea God Lake for a long time before finally stepping onto the lake and heading towards Sea God Island.

There was nothing he could do; Zhou Huan's apparent cultivation level was only that of a Little Soul Master at level 46, so he couldn't fly.

As for the Flying Soul Tool, Zhou Huan felt that he didn't need to waste the money.

Fortunately, he was Ice Attribute Soul Master, so he could easily cross the lake using his Ice Step. Otherwise, he would have had to go find Wang Qingya early in the morning to get a Flying Bun.

After much deliberation, Zhou Huan decided that it was still worthwhile to visit that Flame Palace.

Although he had gotten used to staying at Shrek for the past few years, Zhou Huan felt he should make a move if given the opportunity.

Furthermore, with Zhang Lexuan, Snow Empress, and Ice Bear King around, his own cultivation level was probably enough to fight against an ordinary early-stage Titled Douluo, so the danger level was relatively low.

Not seizing opportunities and refusing to tackle dungeons is not the mindset of a true champion.

So, just a few days later, Zhou Huan set foot on Sea God Island again.

In fact, there were hardly any idle people wandering around on Sea God Island; Zhou Huan didn't even see a single passerby.

Upon closer examination, it's quite easy to understand.

Firstly, there aren't many Disciples in the Inner Court to begin with; secondly, Inner Court disciple often have to go out on missions, and if they don't go out, they will most likely stay in their dormitories to cultivate.

Last time I came with Zhang Lexuan, I didn't run into anyone else. This time I came alone, and I still didn't see a single person.

Zhou Huan naturally had no interest in visiting Sea God Island right now, so she went straight to Zhang Lexuan's house.

It's a case of practice makes perfect.

"Clap clap clap."

Zhou Huan gently knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened from the inside, and standing inside was not Zhang Lexuan, but Ma Xiaotao dressed in red.

Upon seeing the person in front of him, Zhou Huan was stunned. What the heck? Did I knock on the wrong door? That shouldn't be the case. I'm not bad with directions, and Zhang Lexuan's house is the only one around here.

But why was it Ma Xiaotao who opened the door?

Ma Xiaotao, who was inside the door, was also somewhat stunned. She couldn't understand why Zhou Huan would come here.

She used to have a very bad impression of this junior because Zhou Huan refused to help her suppress her Evil Fire.

Later, she obtained the Blazing Gum of the Infernal Delicate Apricot from her Senior Disciple Sister, which not only successfully solved her Martial Soul problem but also gave her the Extreme Fire.

All of this was caused by a junior she disliked.

She has spent most of the past year in seclusion.

After clearing customs, I received another mission, so I haven't had a chance to thank Zhou Huan.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao was originally a very strong-willed person, but now she had received such a great favor from Zhou Huan, which made her feel a mix of emotions.

Therefore, upon suddenly seeing Zhou Huan, Ma Xiaotao felt more embarrassed than anything else, but she still greeted him first, "Junior Brother Zhou."

Zhou Huan snapped out of her daze and said, "Hello, senior."

Then, Ma Xiaotao finally said, "Junior Zhou, thank you for the Blazing Gum. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know, and I'll definitely help."

Ma Xiaotao is still Ma Xiaotao. Although she has a fiery temper and is assertive, she is never an ungrateful person.

She felt she should repay the kindness she received; Ma Xiaotao wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what was good for her.

Moreover, having resolved the issue of her Evil Fire, Ma Xiaotao's temperament gradually became less impatient than before.

However, Zhou Huan just smiled at Ma Xiaotao's words and said, "It's nothing, we just happened to run into each other."

Zhou Huan never actually expected Ma Xiaotao to give him anything in return, because it would be more accurate to say that he gave the Blazing Gum Shrek rather than Ma Xiaotao.

The Blazing Gum was actually a tacit understanding reached between Zhou Huan and the Shrek Academy's management.

Zhou Huan used this to show that he was a member of Shrek and would not harm Shrek, because no hostile force would be foolish enough to train an Extreme Fire Soul Master for the other side.

The Shrek Academy leadership, following Zhou Huan's wishes, neither disturbed him nor investigated him, treating him simply as an ordinary Shrek student.

Clearly, both sides have done well so far.

"What are you all doing standing at the door? Come in." At this moment, Zhang Lexuan's voice finally rang out.

"Sister Lexuan," Zhou Huan responded, and then went inside.

He knew it! How could we have gone the wrong way? This is clearly Zhang Lexuan's house. It seems we just happened to run into Ma Xiaotao who came to visit.

Zhou Huan skillfully stepped over the screen and entered the living room, then sat down on a large wooden chair as if she were in her own home.

Ma Xiaotao was stunned by this scene, her mouth slightly agape. She thought to herself, "This kid must have come to Senior Disciple Sister's house before."

Zhang Lexuan then sat down opposite Zhou Huan and asked, "You've made up your mind about coming here?"

Hearing this, Zhou Huan nodded. "Yes, I should still go. With Sister Lexuan there, she can definitely protect me."

Zhang Lexuan smiled lightly and said, "No need for flattery. We must be cautious in unknown places, but knowing that there may be great opportunities, as Soul Master, we cannot stand still. So I'm very happy that you came."

On the other side, Xiaotao, the discoverer of the Flame Palace, was somewhat confused as she watched the two of them speaking in riddles.

What are these two talking about?

I hate riddle tellers!

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan turned to Ma Xiaotao: "Didn't you tell me a couple of days ago that you encountered a Flame Palace during your last mission? We don't need to wait for Huo Yuhao anymore; you have a Soul Master of Extreme Ice right in front of you now."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. When did Zhou Huan acquire the Extreme Ice? Had his Frost Martial Soul Evolution? Was obtaining Ultimate Attribute so easy?

While Ma Xiaotao was still in shock, Zhang Lexuan continued, "Why are you so surprised? He can find the Infernal Delicate Apricot's Blazing Gum to transform your Evil Fire into Extreme Fire, so of course he can also find treasures to give his Frost Spirit Extreme Ice."

In fact, even if Zhang Lexuan hadn't said anything, the Shrek Academy executives could probably have guessed Zhou Huan's Ice Attribute after he brought back the Immortal Herb.

It doesn't make sense that everyone else got the right Immortal Herb, but I didn't get any for myself, right?

Moreover, Zhou Huan's ice control ability is undeniable.

Although Zhou Huan has never revealed his terrifyingly icy and snowy nature in public like Huo Yuhao, in terms of pure ice control, Zhou Huan's ability is definitely no less than Huo Yuhao's, and his ice manipulation techniques are even more varied and ingenious.

Considering all these factors, it's not surprising that Zhou Huan possesses the Extreme Ice in the eyes of Shrek's higher-ups.

Both sides simply tacitly agreed that neither would speak up nor ask.

Ma Xiaotao clearly lacked the intelligence to think of such a convoluted thing.

That's why she was so shocked when she heard Zhang Lexuan say that Zhou Huan possessed the Extreme Ice.

However, after Zhang Lexuan's explanation, Ma Xiaotao understood, and it didn't seem like an unacceptable thing.

Therefore, Ma Xiaotao looked at Zhou Huan and said, "That's fine too. If we can really open that Underground Palace Stone Gate and find good things inside, you can choose first. Consider it repaying part of the favor you owe me."

Zhou Huan, of course, didn't mince words, but said frankly, "Then thank you very much, Senior Ma."

Just then, Ma Xiaotao suddenly smiled brightly, "You call me Senior Sister Ma, but as soon as you call me Senior Disciple Sister, you immediately become Sister Lexuan. Don't forget, Senior Disciple Sister is now the Martial Soul Department Vice Dean, which means she's the Dean of the Outer Court Disciple. You should know how to respect your teacher."

Zhou Huan: "..." This Blazing Gum was a complete waste; I might as well have used it to make a Hand Warmer.

Zhou Huan didn't like being a disobedient student, and besides, no matter how you look at it, Zhang Lexuan couldn't really be considered his teacher.
