"There's one more thing."
After explaining the rewards for the new students, Yan Shaozhe pondered for a long while before finally speaking with some hesitation.
I knew it...
El and Huo Yutong exchanged a glance.
Both had guessed that the Dean of the Martial Soul Department must have had some personal business to discuss when he summoned them to his office.
After all, he could have explained the rewards at the award ceremony. There was no need to bring them to his office in such a hurry.
"This is a personal matter, and a request of mine. I hope you'll agree."
Yan Shaozhe adopted a very humble stance and spoke in a consultative tone.
"My disciple, Ma Xiaotao, possesses a top-tier fire martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix. Although her talent doesn't compare to yours, she's still a rare genius."
"But her martial soul is both her making and her undoing."
A trace of bitterness appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face.
"The more she cultivates, the more harm the evil fire in her martial soul causes her. Now that she's reached the Soul Emperor level, she can hardly cultivate any further."
"Otherwise, the evil fire could easily take control of her will and bring about a disaster."
In fact, just a month earlier, Ma Xiaotao had caused quite a commotion when her evil fire ran rampant.
Had Mu En not happened to be in the outer court and intervened in time, some of the younger outer court students might even have lost their lives!
Even now, Ma Xiaotao was under strict orders to remain in the Sea God Pavilion, where the power of light suppressed the evil fire within her.
"And the ultimate ice attribute is the key to resolving the evil fire problem."
Of course, Yan Shaozhe didn't mention that,
