Chapter Eighteen District Thirty-Three, Three Versus Three (Three)

  Early morning

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "That's good, go back and rest early." He still didn't ask what Huo Yu Hao's martial soul was. He had his pride, he believed that as long as they encountered a strong opponent, Huo Yu Hao and the others wouldn't be able to hide it no matter what.

  "It's so cool! I won as easily as cutting a cucumber. " Wang Dong said excitedly on his way back to the dormitory, he had a great time today.

  Xiao Xiao said, "Tomorrow it's my turn to take the stage, right? Wang Dong, I think this way: up until now, you've only used your first soul skill. If tomorrow we encounter a strong opponent, you'll probably have to use your second soul skill. And your second soul skill is formed by the Thousand Year Soul Ring, which can be said to be our team's strongest attacking method. It's better not to let others see it easily; let's wait until the ranking tournament to use it. Tomorrow if we encounter a strong opponent, I'll work with you and we'll both use our first soul skills. Even if the opponent is very strong, I'll use my second soul skill to keep your second soul skill hidden. This way, we'll have two trump cards; how about that?"

  Wang Dong chuckled and said, "Xiao Xiao, you've said so much, isn't it just because your hands are itching? Alright, I'll do as you say, I've indulged myself, but I also want to satisfy you."

  Fortunately, there were no adults passing by at that time, otherwise Wang Dong's words would have directly led to misunderstandings.

  "Let's go, I'll treat you guys to some grilled fish. I ordered a few extra yesterday."

  Just as the three of them had just walked out of the assessment area, they ran into two people head-on. Seeing them, both Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong were stunned for a moment.

  It was none other than Ma Xiaotao, a disciple of the inner courtyard in red clothes, and Xu Sanshi, who had been taken away by her a few days ago.

  Compared to his usual spirited and proud demeanor, Xu San Shi now looked pale and haggard, as if he had been drained of all energy. His entire being was listless, his clothes were wrinkled and disheveled, and he looked utterly dejected.

  Ma Xiaotao is still so beautiful, but there's an abnormal flush on her pretty face, and the pale pink color of her eyes has deepened a bit.

  "This isn't what I found, Little Peach Sister. Can I go now?" Xu Sanshi said with a bitter smile. After being tormented for several days and enduring intense suffering, he finally made it through. However, the consumption of his spirit, physical strength, and soul power was too severe; now he just wanted to return to his dormitory and sleep soundly.

  Ma Xiaotao nodded and said, "Alright, you can go now."

  Xu Sanshi gave a "you're on your own" look to Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong, turned around and left. The uncooperative attitude made Huo Yu Hao and the others' hearts tighten. What did Ma Xiao Tao want from them?

  Ma Xiaotao said faintly: "You two, come with me. Little sister, you go back by yourself first."

  Xiao Xiao was about to say something when Huo Yu Hao immediately shook his head at her, letting her go first and indicating that the two of them would be fine.

  It seems that Ma Xiaotao is up to no good, he doesn't want to drag Xiao Xiao into this, and besides, this is a school, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both think that Ma Xiaotao won't do anything to them.

  Xiao Xiao left with some reluctance and unwillingness, while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong followed Ma Xiaotao to the lakeside path. They walked along the path for a while, and soon arrived at the lake where they were ambushed before.

  Ma Xiaotao walked all the way to the front of Haishen Lake before stopping, while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong kept a noticeable distance from her. Wang Dong had a vigilant expression on his face, and Huo Yuhao was also nervous in his heart.

  "Ma Xuejie, what did you call us here for?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.

  Ma Xiaotao turned his back to them and said, "I know you should recognize me. Yes, I am the trainee who ran out of the inner courtyard and almost hurt you two back then. I had no choice but to do so, and here, I apologize to both of you first."

  Wang Dong curled his lip and thought to himself, "Is this what they call an apology? Not a hint of sincerity!"

  Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance before saying, "Sister Ma, past events have already passed. Moreover, the academy has also given us compensation."

  Ma Xiaotao suddenly turned around, her pink eyes deepened a few shades, and an inexplicable oppressive force instantly appeared on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

  "But for me, this matter has not passed yet." Ma Xiaotao said in a low voice.

  "That day, there must have been an ice attribute soul master who stopped me, so I didn't hurt you. This person is very important to me. Tell me everything you know. Or who among you is the protector. I must find him."

  Wang Dong said somewhat dazedly, "Ma Xue sister, I don't understand what you mean. When you rushed towards us that day, the high temperature on your body directly made us faint and we didn't know what happened afterwards! As for the ice attribute soul master, it's even more impossible to talk about."

  Huo Yu Hao also nodded repeatedly, he was someone who could never reveal any secrets about Tian Meng Bing Xian.

  Ma Xiaotao saw that the two men's expressions were not fake, and a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes.

  She came to find He Yu Hao and Wang Dong because after returning that day, she suddenly remembered why the two students looked familiar. She had seen information about He Yu Hao and Wang Dong in the inner courtyard.

  Three months ago, she relied on the cold air left in her body by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to suppress the evil fire, and her cultivation made a significant progress within three months. After the cold air disappeared, she could only find Xu Sanshi again. However, she found that Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle Wu Soul was a top-level beast Wu Soul, but it was water-attribute rather than ice-attribute, and its help to her had become smaller and smaller.

  She can't suppress the evil fire, so she must stop cultivating. Moreover, the evil fire may explode at any time and make her lose her mind.

  After some deliberation, she decided to look for Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong. If she could find the person who had used ice attributes to stop her back then, her problem would be solved effortlessly.

  "Don't you really know?" Ma Xiaotao asked in a low voice.

  Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong shook their heads simultaneously.

  Ma Xiaotao's face suddenly changed, and he said in a cold voice: "Then don't blame me for being impolite. You don't know, so I'll force him out." As he spoke, a fierce heat wave burst forth, and scarlet flames erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body like a volcanic eruption.

  Huō Yǔhào and Wáng Dōng had already felt something was off when they were called over by Mǎ Xiǎotáo, so the two of them remained vigilant in their hearts, especially after having suffered a great loss last time. As soon as Mǎ Xiǎotáo made her move, the two of them immediately reacted, they couldn't just sit and wait for death!

  The wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly burst out from behind Wang Dong in an instant, and as they unfolded, they were already covered with golden light patterns. The wing blades had been deployed at the first moment.
