Shrek Academy Has Struck Gold

Ma Xiaotao heard this.

She immediately picked up Lu Heqiu, who was slowly crawling on the table, and flew towards the inner courtyard.

Dai Yueheng was still at the academy yesterday.

As long as she wasn't too unlucky, she wouldn't happen to run into Dai Yueheng picking up a mission.

Yan Shaozhe watched the figure that swept away in a hurry and also flew towards Sea God Lake, unfolding his spiritual power to search for Xuan Zi's trace.

At this moment, Xuan Zi was in the inner courtyard cafeteria, holding a freshly baked chicken leg and throwing it into his Soul Tool, occasionally stuffing a chicken leg into his mouth, not forgetting to comment to the cafeteria chef.

"The craftsmanship is indeed good, no wonder the children like to eat it."

"However, next time add more seasoning, I like it to be more flavorful."

A sideways glance caught Yan Shaozhe, dressed in white, walking towards him, and he spoke with a hint of nonchalance.

"Shao Zhe is here too?"

"Want to try the taste of this chicken leg?"

Xuan Zi handed the chicken leg in his hand to Yan Shaozhe, without any regard for his image. Yan Shaozhe did not take it, but slightly bowed and said respectfully.

"Elder Xuan, the teacher is not here, and a strange thing has appeared in the academy. I need you to take a look."

Xuan Zi originally had no good expression towards Yan Shaozhe's appearance.

But upon hearing that it was a strange thing, the hand holding the chicken leg paused, and he looked at Yan Shaozhe, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Strange thing?"

"What strange thing?"

"Is Sea God Lake haunted?"

Within Shrek Academy, he, Xuan Zi, truly did not believe that any strange things could occur. With so many Titled Douluo watching, no one on the entire continent could cause trouble!

Now it's just that Mu En is away, not that Shrek is empty. Strange things? He naturally didn't believe it!

"That's not a problem within Sea God Lake."

"It's that yesterday Mei'er and Xiaotao found a child in the Star Dou Great Forest. The child's power is a bit strange. I originally planned to wait for the teacher to return before mentioning it."

"But today, I sensed a different sealing power on this child, which can suppress Xiaotao's evil fire, so... I want to ask Elder Xuan to come and take a look."

Yan Shaozhe spoke very respectfully. Xuan Zi's hand, which was stuffing chicken legs into his Soul Tool, completely stopped. From the moment he heard about finding a child in the Star Dou Great Forest, his expression became unusual.

Like other Titled Douluo, he wondered if this child was a soul beast transformed into a human?

But upon hearing about the seal that could suppress evil fire, his previously casual expression completely disappeared, replaced by solemnity. This was indeed a strange thing. To be precise, it wasn't one strange thing, but a pile of strange things appearing on one person!

"Let's go! Where is that child now?"

Xuan Zi grabbed Yan Shaozhe, and the two flew out of the cafeteria.

A moment later, when the two returned to the office.

Ma Xiaotao only returned with Lu Heqiu and Dai Yueheng. Xuan Zi didn't waste much time with them, but his spiritual power began to roam over Lu Heqiu, more meticulously than Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe did not stop this, but beckoned Dai Yueheng to come over.

"Did you feel a suppressing force when you released your martial soul yesterday?"

Dai Yueheng was slightly stunned for a moment. He never expected that Yan Shaozhe would ask about this. He thought Yan Shaozhe wanted him to take care of the child, but this question caught him off guard.

After a slight contemplation, he nodded.

"Yes, a strong suppression."

"Yesterday... weren't you the one suppressing my martial soul?"

Dai Yueheng asked the most crucial question. He did feel a very strong suppressing force when he released his martial soul yesterday, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

Yan Shaozhe was by his side and even reprimanded him.

Naturally, he thought Yan Shaozhe was suppressing his martial soul.

But from Yan Shaozhe's words today...

It wasn't?

Yan Shaozhe's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. It seemed that this little fellow was unlikely to be a conspiracy. He wasn't targeting Xiaotao alone, which meant there was indeed something different about the little fellow.

Xuan Zi had also finished his examination and slowly said to Yan Shaozhe, "Hmm, not a soul beast."

"There is an extremely powerful sealing force within him. I can't understand what kind of seal it is."

"It's natural, not the work of a soul master."

"However..."

"I didn't feel any overflowing power. That little fellow, release your martial soul again!"

Xuan Zi pointed to Dai Yueheng, who was standing beside him, and signaled him to release his martial soul. Dai Yueheng did not hesitate and decisively released his Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul. The Evil Eye White Tiger was already a top-tier martial soul, and even ten thousand years ago, it was a top-tier martial soul.

Even Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix would not dare to say that it could suppress him in terms of martial souls.

But the moment the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul appeared.

Dai Yueheng's expression was extremely grim.

He felt an immense pressure bearing down on his Evil Eye White Tiger, his soul power circulation slowing. If he were to use a soul skill now, it might be sluggish. This was a reaction he only experienced when facing an absolute powerhouse.

Xuan Zi observed his expression, his nostrils twitching slightly. He too released his martial soul.

However, he was extremely restrained, causing no destruction whatsoever.

"That's not right."

"Why didn't this old man feel any pressure?"

"Shao Zhe!"

Yan Shaozhe immediately understood and released his martial soul as well. Yet, his experience was the same as Xuan Zi's; he felt no abnormality in his martial soul. However, Yan Shaozhe also noticed the issue and spoke softly.

"Could it be because of the difference in Martial Soul True Body?"

"After all, if it were due to soul power, we couldn't possibly feel nothing, could we?"

Xuan Zi nodded gently and immediately waved for Dai Yueheng to head to the inner courtyard to find a Soul Sage. Dai Yueheng, relieved, retracted his martial soul and went to find a trusted teacher from the inner courtyard.

That teacher also released his martial soul. Just as Yan Shaozhe had surmised, Lu Heqiu's overflowing sealing power did not affect this Soul Sage in the slightest. The difference between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Sage lay in whether they possessed the Martial Soul True Body.

The group tested it twice more, measuring the suppression range and effects completely.

Anyone below Soul Sage, regardless of soul power or rank, would be suppressed. Their combat power would decrease by about thirty percent, and there would be a slight pause when casting soul skills, making it uncertain if they could be unleashed.

The range was about fifteen meters. As long as one stepped outside this distance, the effect would be immediately nullified.

As long as Ma Xiaotao stayed by his side, the evil fire within her would never dare to act up. No matter how she attacked, she wouldn't have to worry about her martial soul going out of control.

"This time..."

"We at Shrek have truly struck gold!"
