Yan Shaozhe's Idea; Find Xuan Zi to Take a Look

Lu Heqiu watched Ma Xiaotao come to a halt.

He felt no surprise whatsoever.

The sealing power within his body was too potent.

So strong that the overflowing power could suppress the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao; this was beyond Lu Heqiu's control. To cancel this effect, he would need to at least break the first layer of the seal.

To be precise.

It wasn't just Ma Xiaotao's evil fire that was suppressed; her martial soul and soul skills were also affected. However, since Ma Xiaotao had never fought with Lu Heqiu present, she hadn't noticed any of this.

"You... are so strange!"

Ma Xiaotao quickly walked to the bed. When her eyes met Lu Heqiu's, they weren't filled with unfamiliarity, but with extreme joy.

Cai Meier and Yan Shaozhe often urged her to temper her personality, find a good husband, and try to vent the evil fire within her. But Ma Xiaotao was unwilling. Now, this little fellow could actually suppress the evil fire inside her!

This naturally made Ma Xiaotao incredibly happy.

As long as she had this little fellow with her, she wouldn't have to worry about the evil fire's erosion anymore?

Ma Xiaotao scooped Lu Heqiu up high.

She embraced him tightly once more.

Then, she flew towards the Martial Soul Department.

She wanted to tell Yan Shaozhe about this immediately. She had been troubled by the evil fire for a long time. Even under the torment of the evil fire, she had become the number one genius of Shrek in a century. If she no longer had to worry about the evil fire at all...

Then wouldn't she...

Potentially become an Extreme Douluo in the future!?

Her fiery red figure streaked across the academy's low sky, like a phoenix soaring towards the Martial Soul Department, holding an infant drinking beast milk in her arms. It was an extremely peculiar sight.

Yan Shaozhe was currently in his office, handling the preparations for the graduation of the sixth-year students from the Outer Court.

Although as the dean, he was in charge of the Inner Court and the Outer Court was managed by Director Du Weilun, matters concerning academy graduation and the selection of Inner Court students still required his final confirmation and signature as dean.

Just as the pen in his hand was about to fall, the office door was suddenly kicked open. A crimson figure burst in impetuously, startling Yan Shaozhe.

How many years had it been since anyone dared to barge into his office like this?

Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion would knock and confirm his presence before entering.

Most importantly, this figure who had barged in was his most favored disciple—Ma Xiaotao!

"Xiaotao!"

"How many times have I told you, Teacher?"

"No matter what you do, you need to have some patience and not be so rash."

Yan Shaozhe's voice was filled with helplessness. He slowly placed the pen down and his gaze fell upon the fiery red figure. Ma Xiaotao was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and she was still holding Lu Heqiu in her arms.

However, the usual impatience that hung on her face yesterday was gone, replaced by undisguised joy.

"Teacher! This matter really can't wait!"

"This little fellow..."

"Can help me suppress the evil fire within me!"

As soon as Ma Xiaotao finished speaking, Yan Shaozhe immediately stood up, looking at her with disbelief, as if he had heard something utterly incomprehensible.

He knew his disciple well.

The evil fire within Ma Xiaotao originated from the very essence of her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. Whether it was her ancestor Ma Hongjun ten thousand years ago or Ma Xiaotao in her early days, the best method was to vent it. However, due to Ma Xiaotao's gender, her venting required significantly higher standards.

Therefore, how to resolve the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao was something even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion couldn't figure out.

They could only use Thousand Year Ice Marrow and items close to Extreme Ice to suppress it as much as possible.

Concurrently, they were helping Ma Xiaotao search for legendary Immortal Herbs.

Only then might Ma Xiaotao's martial soul problem be completely resolved.

But now...

Ma Xiaotao, holding a child she picked up from the Star Dou Great Forest, rushed into his office and claimed that the infant in her arms could help her suppress the evil fire within her?

How could it suppress it?

It couldn't be that at such a young age...

"Are you serious!?"

Yan Shaozhe looked into Ma Xiaotao's eyes and realized his previous reaction had been somewhat undignified. He immediately sat back down and said in a deep voice, "Xiaotao, sit down and tell me slowly!"

"Don't leave out any details!"

Ma Xiaotao didn't sit. She stood there and eagerly recounted everything that had happened that morning, omitting the part where Lu Heqiu was lying on her. She focused on describing the effects of leaving and approaching Lu Heqiu.

Yan Shaozhe had never encountered such a bizarre situation. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke again, "Xiaotao, try it again."

"See if it was a coincidence."

He was far more composed than Ma Xiaotao.

If it were him, he would have definitely tried a few more times around Lu Heqiu before returning, unlike Ma Xiaotao who directly reached a conclusion just because something unusual happened.

Ma Xiaotao also realized this upon hearing his words. She had indeed been a bit reckless. This was something that had only happened once, and she shouldn't have jumped to a conclusion. She immediately nodded heavily and placed Lu Heqiu next to Yan Shaozhe.

Lu Heqiu seemed to know what Ma Xiaotao was trying to do. He didn't cry or fuss but crawled towards Yan Shaozhe, wanting to snatch the pen Yan Shaozhe had placed on the table.

Ma Xiaotao quickly walked towards the door. Just like before, she maintained a distance of about ten meters from Lu Heqiu. The Evil Fire, which had been suppressed deep within her Martial Soul, began to surge outwards.

Without giving Ma Xiaotao any time to react, it was as if something that had been suppressed for a long time was finally released, burning wildly towards Ma Xiaotao's Sea of Consciousness.

If Ma Xiaotao hadn't walked back so quickly, this Evil Fire would have completely eroded her sanity.

Terrified, she abruptly turned around and ran back towards Lu Heqiu.

The moment she was close to Lu Heqiu, the terrifying Evil Fire was immediately suppressed. The blush on Ma Xiaotao's face faded slightly, and she leaned on the table, but her condition was clearly improving.

Yan Shaozhe got the result with just one glance.

It wasn't that Ma Xiaotao was too reckless.

It was that the effect was...

Too significant!

Whether she stepped out or not, Ma Xiaotao was like two different people. The moment she stepped out, the Evil Fire emanating from her was so terrifying that even Yan Shaozhe was startled. If Ma Xiaotao hadn't actively stepped back, he would have flown out to forcibly suppress it with his Soul Power.

That Evil Fire was more terrifying than anything they had seen before.

"En, no need to test anymore."

"The effect is very obvious."

"But this isn't Extreme Ice, nor is it Soul Power. How was it achieved?"

Yan Shaozhe's eyes were filled with a complex expression as he looked at Lu Heqiu lying there, clearly puzzled.

How could a little fellow possess a sealing power that could affect those around him?

And...

"I'm going to find Xuan Zi!"

"Please ask Xuan Zi to take a look."

"You go and bring Dai Yueheng here. He also used his Martial Soul yesterday!"
