Xuexin turned to face Su Tong.
"Su Tong, do you think Shrek Academy will listen to what we said to Song Yunzhi?"
Su Tong replied, "At least she listened, but I doubt whether the Sea God Pavilion will listen."
"From my conversation with her just now, she is clearly a dove elder who advocates for resolving the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Heavenly Soul through peaceful means."
"But right now, the people in power at Shrek Academy are clearly the hawkish elders from Xuanzi's faction."
"Therefore, I believe that once Ma Xiaotao returns, in order to win the Soul Master Competition, they will inevitably use the power of the Golden Tree to forcibly dismantle the ice-sealing power on Ma Xiaotao's martial soul."
Xuexin nodded.
"If they succeed, it won't matter if Ma Xiaotao evolves into the Ultimate Flame."
Xue Xin looked at Song Yunzhi on the horizon: "Now that the Empire has you and Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao can't make a ripple."
"If you can seal her once by working together, you can seal her a second time."
"But what if we fail—"
He didn't continue, but Su Tong already understood what Xue Xin meant.
If they fail, Ma Xiaotao, whose evil fire is out of control, will become the biggest stain on Shrek Academy.
The Heavenly Soul Empire has now frozen her Martial Soul, and even Su Tong, an ultimate Soul Master with a profound understanding of elemental power, has shared her insights with Ma Xiaotao.
As long as Ma Xiaotao and Shrek Academy get on the right track, they will have a real fire phoenix.
But if they insist on their own way, causing Ma Xiaotao to eventually lose control of her evil temper—
"The empire needs an opportunity."
Xue Xin's gaze was profound: "Their reputation, accumulated over millennia, is too great; they've become accustomed to everyone treating them with utmost respect."
"This caused them to forget that they were ultimately just an academy, not an entity that existed above the empire."
The war to defend the continent more than four thousand years ago was a resounding success if Shrek Academy hadn't rallied all the titled Douluo across the continent.
The outcome of the war may be rewritten.
The Heavenly Soul Empire was extremely resistant to this, but Wen was quite grateful.
They allowed Shrek Academy to change the name of their city to Shrek City.
They allowed Shrek Academy to never pay taxes for many years.
They allow Shrek Academy to have a transcendent status within the country.
Even though it's obvious to everyone that Shrek Academy and Shrek City have become the country's...
But the Heavenly Soul Empire continues to endure.
As long as Shrek Academy adheres to neutrality and does not interfere in the affairs of the empire, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family will always uphold this sentiment of saving the country.
But all of this was until more than a decade ago.
At that time, a conflict broke out between two noble families in the Heavenly Soul Empire. One of the noble families wiped out the entire Zhang family.
This was a common case of infighting among nobles within the empire; once the investigation was completed, it could be dealt with according to the law.
However, due to the large number of people involved, including one whose entire family has been wiped out, the trial will take an extremely long time.
However, Shrek Academy suddenly intervened.
Under the pretext of upholding justice, they directly dispatched several powerful individuals to forcibly intervene in the investigation.
Ultimately, all the nobles involved were killed by Shrek Academy.
This move thoroughly angered the Heavenly Soul Royal Family.
"We later investigated and found out the truth."
Xuexin looked at the old site of the Zhang family: "There is a student in their inner courtyard named Zhang Lexuan, who is the last surviving member of the Zhang family."
"In order to avenge her, Shrek Academy directly disregarded imperial law and arbitrarily executed a noble."
"From that day on, the Heavenly Soul Empire understood one thing."
"Shrek Academy is no longer a pure academy; their mentality has changed."
"They are used to being high and mighty, used to the so-called righteousness of Heaven, and even used to being above the empire."
When Zhang Lexuan was mentioned, Xuexin told Su Tong an interesting story.
"Their Sylvanas let it slip at the border."
Xue Xin sneered: "So it turns out that back then, Mu En wanted to make Zhang Lexuan his great-grandson Bei Bei's child bride, which is why he agreed to avenge her."
"It's just a pity that Beibei later fell in love with Tang Ya from the declining Tang Clan."
"However, I suspect that Mu En may have orchestrated Bei Bei's joining the Tang Clan."
Xuexin suspected that the reason Mu En allowed Beibei to join the Tang Sect was for the Tang Sect's secret technique, the Xuan Tian Gong.
Mu En's martial soul is the Holy Dragon of Light, while Bei Bei's is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The Mysterious Heaven Technique is a technique passed down from the Sea God ten thousand years ago. What if it can stimulate the evolution of a martial soul?
Finally, Xue Xin shook her head: "The dignified Dragon God Douluo actually uses this method to win over geniuses. How laughable."
Although the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family tried their best to bring Huo Yuhao and Su Tong together, they never made any coercive demands.
They respect Huo Yuhao and Su Tong's choices.
Even if the two don't end up together, it won't affect their status in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Xuexin is already paving the way for Su Tong.
The fact that she was made student council president and even had to receive Song Yunzhi on her behalf is an example of this.
Shrek Academy, however, forcibly tied Zhang Lexuan's future to Bei Bei.
Xuexin found this behavior despicable.
This is different from the situation between Long Aotian and Vina.
One of them was an imperial princess, and the other was the first successor of the Body Sect.
If they are unwilling, who can force them?
Given Du Bu Si's patriotism, would he really betray the Heavenly Soul Empire in a fit of anger just because Vina refused to become Long Aotian's lover?
Would Xue Heng execute the Body Sect in a fit of anger because Long Aotian refused to be with Vina?
Su Tong listened quietly to what Xue Xin had to say.
Finally, she frowned slightly: "So, the Empire wants to use Ma Xiaotao to test Shrek Academy?"
If Shrek Academy listens to Su Tong and Xue Xin and handles Ma Xiaotao's martial soul with caution, it means they still have reason.
They realized that the empire had already laid out its bottom line.
But if they insist on going their own way and forcibly use the Golden Tree to unseal the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.
Xue Xin's gaze turned slightly cold: "At that time, the Empire will have to re-evaluate its relationship with Shrek Academy."
"Ma Xiaotao was raised by Yan Shaozhe, that playboy, and has an impulsive and easily angered personality, and acts without considering the consequences."
"This is not something that can be changed in a short time."
"And with the Soul Master Competition just around the corner, given Xuanzi's personality, he will definitely put pressure on Ma Xiaotao."
The Heavenly Soul Empire used Ma Xiaotao as a weapon.
As for this knife, it will become the scalpel that Shrek uses to abandon his millennia-old glory and cut off his tail to survive.
It will still become a suicide weapon piercing their hearts.
It all depends on Shrek Academy's own choice.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the one who truly possesses evil fire has never been Ma Xiaotao.
It should be Shrek who burns his old bones in the deadly flames.
"Su Tong, you must remember this."
"Coercion is always the most foolish tactic."
"The real game is to give the other party seemingly free choices, but let them lead us to the outcome we want."
"The Empire has now given Shrek a chance; it's up to them whether they're willing to seize it."
