Blackmail and Extortion

Facing the sudden red blur charging at them, Huo Yuhao and the other two stood in formation, ready for battle.

The red figure grew closer and closer to the three of them.

As it got nearer, Huo Yuhao and the others could clearly see the appearance of the person before them.

It was a woman wearing a red dress, with blood-red hair and a slender, well-proportioned figure.

Her entire aura was deep and wild, like a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

With two huge, lantern-like eyes, Huo Yuhao immediately recognized her identity.

The Flame Demon Ma Xiaotao! She's here!

"Wow, Yuhao, look quickly, she can run on the surface of the water!" Wang Dong'er excitedly called out to Huo Yuhao.

Wang Qiuer was slightly more vigilant than Wang Dong'er. "This senior's aura seems very unstable! Did you two notice it?"

Before Wang Dong'er could even question it, Ma Xiaotao's figure had already reached within a hundred meters of them, and scorching flames instantly engulfed the three.

Third Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Fist!

Second Soul Skill, Butterfly God's Light!

Facing the incoming dark red flames, Wang Qiuer and Wang Dong'er released their Martial Souls and their strongest Soul Skills almost without thinking.

However, due to the difference in Soul Power, their attacks only traveled seventy to eighty meters before being evaporated.

Wang Qiuer and Wang Dong'er simultaneously showed expressions of horror. Their Soul Power had been evaporated; who exactly was this person?

If their attacks were useless, it meant there was a vast gap between them and the opponent, and in such a situation, escape was the only option.

"Let me take it!"

Third Soul Skill, Pride of the Ice Snow Two Empresses!

A surge of extreme ice and snow power erupted, and a massive ice storm of ice blue and emerald green rose around Huo Yuhao.

The ice storm, interwoven with ice blue and emerald green, met the violent crimson flames.

On the shore of Sea God Lake, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The blue-green ice storm and the crimson flames clashed and intertwined wildly, then canceled each other out.

"Xiaotao..."

From a distance by Sea God Lake, several figures arrived in an instant.

"Don't rush over yet. The ice and snow power blocking Xiaotao is Extreme Ice and Snow!"

"Let's watch from here first!"

Yan Shaozhe, whose concern had clouded his judgment, was persuaded by an elder who had extensive research on Martial Souls.

Yan Shaozhe, having calmed down, regained his usual rationality.

Extreme Ice and Snow. Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up as he gazed at the blue-green ice and snow.

With this, Xiaotao might no longer have to worry about her evil fire.

Although Huo Yuhao had only reached the three-ring stage when he unleashed Extreme Ice and Snow.

His Soul Power's quality and reserves, according to Electrolux's assessment, were infinitely close to that of an ordinary Soul Sage.

Thus, as time passed, Huo Yuhao gradually consumed Ma Xiaotao's flames and froze her into a lifelike white ice sculpture.

"Xiaotao!"

Yan Shaozhe quickly rushed to Ma Xiaotao's side. After confirming that the frozen Ma Xiaotao was not in mortal danger, he turned to look at Huo Yuhao.

Facing the young man who had frozen his disciple, Yan Shaozhe showed no anger on his face; instead, it was filled with admiration.

"I remember you. Your name is Huo Yuhao, right? You were one of the students who came to my office for a talk that day!"

Yan Shaozhe's voice seemed to carry a special power.

After freezing Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, whose Spiritual Power had been slightly depleted, quickly replenished it.

Huo Yuhao politely said, "Greetings, Dean Yan. I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

"Indeed! Who would have thought?" Yan Shaozhe smiled, then suddenly bowed apologetically to the three of them.

"I apologize, Yuhao, and the two behind Yuhao, your names are Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiuer, correct?"

"I apologize on behalf of my disciple for what you had to endure!"

"Don't worry, the school will definitely compensate you. What kind of compensation do you want?"

Yan Shaozhe's expression was kind and amiable, and at the same time, he rapidly apologized to the three of them and offered compensation.

"Yuhao, I am truly sorry that you had to experience this. It is my dereliction of duty as dean!"

"My disciple means no harm. Please forgive her!"

Yan Shaozhe apologized again, trying to salvage Ma Xiaotao's image in the eyes of Huo Yuhao and the other two.

Whether Ma Xiaotao could cultivate normally in the future would depend on Huo Yuhao.

Yan Shaozhe couldn't let Ma Xiaotao's first impression of Huo Yuhao be too bad.

Wang Qiuer felt Yan Shaozhe's attitude was hypocritical.

What did he mean his disciple wasn't malicious? If Yuhao hadn't been present just now...

If it had just been her and Wang Dong'er, only by Wang Qiuer revealing her true form with her Ten Thousand Year cultivation would she and Wang Dong'er have been saved.

Wang Dong'er felt lingering fear. That was close. Thankfully, Yuhao was here.

Huo Yuhao asked, "Dean Yan, can we really ask for any compensation?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded, "As long as it's not too outrageous, I can satisfy you!"

"It was our dereliction of duty that you encountered such an accident. Feel free to ask for whatever you want!"

Huo Yuhao didn't hold back and made an outrageous demand. "Dean Yan!"

"You know, if my ability hadn't happened to counter your beloved disciple just now."

"If any other New Student had faced that flame, they would have died!"

"I don't want much, just nine Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. What do you say?" Huo Yuhao looked hopeful.

Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched. Nine Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, did he think they were cabbage being sold at the market?

"Ahem, Yuhao, I can understand your thinking!"

"But Soul Bones aren't stray dogs by the roadside, and you can't just pull up wild vegetables like this!"

"How about you lower your request a little?"

Huo Yuhao was determined to get what he wanted from Yan Shaozhe today. Even Jesus couldn't save him.

"Sigh, I just promised my students not long ago that they could ask for anything!"

"Not even a minute has passed, and Dean Yan is already thinking of breaking his promise!"

"People's hearts are not what they used to be!!!"

"Qiuer, Dong'er, let's drop out! Let's leave this place that almost killed us!"

Huo Yuhao put on a sad expression and wiped his dry eyes, which didn't have a single tear.

Yan Shaozhe knew how terrifying the talent of the three people in front of him was.

"Yuhao, don't look like that. We can discuss everything!"

"The academy knows how much you've been wronged, but nine Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones is truly too much!"

"How about this, let's compromise. We'll give you six Soul Bones, two for each of you. How does that sound?"

Fearing Yan Shaozhe would go back on his word, Huo Yuhao immediately grabbed his hand.

"I knew the academy and you, sir, were understanding and reasonable!"

"Thank you so much for Dean Yan's compensation. When will the Dean send the Soul Bones over?"

"The New Student Competition is approaching, and we all want to achieve good results!"

"As you know, it's impossible to achieve significant breakthroughs within three months!"

"Therefore, these Soul Bones are extremely important to us! Thank you for your trouble, Dean Yan!"

Huo Yuhao smiled, like those top streamers urging their big spenders to send rockets!

Yan Shaozhe's heart bled. It was bad; he had offered too high a price.

"This is entirely our responsibility. We will send the Soul Bones to you as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Yuhao!"
