If That's Not Enough, Find Someone Else to Practice On
Ice Empress tilted her head and thought for a moment, her emerald green twin tails swaying twice with the movement.
"The fusion is indeed quite good. You have my bloodline within you, so the rejection reaction when absorbing the scorpion tail should be minimal."
Dai Huabin moved his wrists, feeling the faint scorpion tail pattern at the end of his spine Ultimate Ice essence within his body had become even more abundant than before the fusion.
"Indeed, it's all thanks to Bing'er."
Ice Empress gave a soft snort, slightly raising his chin, his orange-gold eyes filled with smugness.
"Of course. The Scorpion Tail Soul Bone of my clan is unparalleled in the entire Douluo Continent. You're lucky to have run into me, kid."
"Yes, yes, yes," Dai Huabin replied perfunctorily.
Ice Empress immediately became unhappy, jumped out of bed, and put their hands on their hips.
"What do you mean by 'yes, yes, yes'? I really don't like your tone."
Zhu Lu, who was clearing the water glasses from the table, interjected without looking up, "Sister Bing'er, stop fooling around, it's time to go to class."
Ice Empress opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
During this time, she generally didn't refute what Zhu Lu said. After all, Zhu Lu was Snow Empress's contractor.
Snow Empress also stood up and straightened the hem of her white dress.
"Bing'er, let's go."
Dai Huabin pushed open the dormitory door; the air in the corridor was much warmer than inside the room.
The morning sunlight slanted in through the window at the end of the corridor, cutting patches of light and shadow on the floor.
He had just stepped out the door when he saw three people standing by the opposite wall.
Cui Yajie leaned against the wall, her long pink hair cascading over her shoulders. When she saw Dai Huabin come out, she smiled at him.
Xiao Xiao sat on the edge of the corridor, lost in thought; she had clearly been waiting for a while.
Wang Dong'er stood by the window, her arms crossed in front of her chest, her long, light blue hair shimmering softly in the morning light.
Her body was facing the window, but the direction of her head betrayed her; she was staring at Dai Huabin's dormitory door.
The moment Dai Huabin came out, Wang Dong'er immediately turned her face away, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window.
Xiao Xiao jumped off the chair and rushed over. "You guys are finally out! I've been waiting for almost twenty minutes!"
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Dai Huabin said with a smile.
Cui Yajie looked at Dai Huabin and replied, "I wanted to knock on the door to call you, but Xiao Xiao wouldn't let me."
"There are four people in your room."
Xiao Xiao lowered her voice and winked at Dai Huabin, "What if we disturb something important?"
Zhu Lu stepped out from behind Dai Huabin and smiled at Xiao Xiao and the others.
Ice Empress skipped out and waved to Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie as a greeting.
Snow Empress walked at the very back, her long white dress trailing behind her as she emerged from the doorway, exuding an aura of composure like a princess stepping out of a palace.
"Alright, let's go to class now," Dai Huabin said.
Then, the group of seven headed towards the teaching building.
Although Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and others have been included in the core disciple sequence of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department, in essence, they are still second-year students of the Outer Academy.
Before entering the Inner Academy, you still have to attend the required classes.
The seven of them walked out of the dormitory building in a grand procession, crossed the stone path in the courtyard, and headed towards the teaching area of the Martial Soul Department.
They encountered several students from other classes on the way, and when they saw Dai Huabin and his group, they all automatically made way for them.
After yesterday's Class Promotion Assessment, Dai Huabin's name has spread throughout the entire Outer Academy.
Level 45, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, severely injured a Ten-thousand-year Iron Spine Rhino with a single move, and achieved a record-breaking score of 200 points in the history of the Outer Academy.
In addition, he has a level 41 fiancée and an Ultimate Ice Soul Emperor companion.
This lineup would be devastating even in the Outer Academy, let alone the Inner Academy.
Meanwhile, in the Inner Academy dormitory area.
Ma Xiaotao pushed open the door to her room, stepped inside, and slammed the door shut behind her.
With a loud bang, the door frame shook.
Frustrated, she ripped off her tight-fitting coat and threw it on the bed, her long, bright red hair falling loose as she plopped down on the table.
The Evil Fire desire within me has subsided considerably.
This morning, after the woman named Xue Qingyao helped her remove the cold energy, her meridians became much smoother, and the restlessness of her Evil Fire subsided considerably.
But Ma Xiaotao's mood wasn't much better.
She reached up and touched her chest, where a slightly cool sensation lingered— the Ultimate Ice aura that Xue Qingyao had just infused into her.
It's very mild, but it can indeed suppress the Evil Fire and prevent it from erupting.
"Damn it," Ma Xiaotao cursed under her breath.
Of course she knew this was a good thing. For the first time, there was hope that the Evil Fire that had tormented her for so many years could be completely suppressed.
But what will be the cost?
Ask for help.
Moreover, they are seeking a second-year student from the Outer Academy.
Ma Xiaotao rested her hands on the table, recalling the scene in the dormitory just now.
Dai Huabin, the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
Level 45.
With long golden hair and sinister eyes, he sat in the chair with an air of complete control.
The little golden retriever didn't talk much, but Ma Xiaotao could sense that Xue Qingyao would always consider his opinion before making any decisions.
Even a level 65 Soul Emperor revolves around him.
Ma Xiaotao felt increasingly awkward the more she thought about it.
She is Soul Emperor of level 67 in the Inner Academy, the owner of the Evil Fire Phoenix, and one of the top experts among the younger generation of Shrek Inner Court.
Now they have to beg a junior from the Outer Academy for help, bowing and scraping.
But that little golden retriever remained incredibly calm, smiling the whole time, leaving her no excuse to get angry.
The eldest son of the White Tiger Duke Mansion...
Ma Xiaotao suddenly stopped.
The eldest White Tiger Duke Mansion.
So Dai Yueheng is his brother?
Inner Academy student, Level 63 Soul Emperor.
Ma Xiaotao's mind started working.
She was quite familiar with Dai Yueheng, after all, he was one of the few Soul Emperor in the Inner Academy.
That guy looked somewhat like his younger brother, with the same blond hair and the same sinister eyes, but his personality was a bit more flamboyant than his brother's.
Unable to beat his younger brother, he takes it out on his older brother?
The more Ma Xiaotao thought about it, the more reliable this idea seemed.
The news that she was instantly killed by Xue Qingyao must have spread by this morning.
Ma Xiaotao needs to get her revenge.
But she couldn't possibly cause trouble for Xue Qingyao. The experience of being frozen into an ice sculpture last time was still fresh in her mind; she wasn't that stupid.
Looking for Dai Huabin? That kid is only level 45, and she's level 67. It would be even more embarrassing if word got out that she was bullying him.
But Dai Yueheng is different.
The difference between level 63 and level 67 is only four levels.
Beating up Dai Yueheng, even though it has nothing to do with Dai Huabin, will at least let her vent her anger.
Moreover, Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips. Anyway, she would have to come back to ask Dai Huabin for help to suppress her Evil Fire after she finished hitting him. So what could he do even if he found out that she had beaten up his brother?
She stood up from the chair, put her fitted coat back on, and gathered her loose red hair behind her head.
"I can't refuse to ask your brother," Ma Xiaotao muttered as she walked towards the door, "But you can at least beat up his brother, right?"
Ma Xiaotao pushed open the door and headed towards the Inner Academy's Soul Fighting Arena.
