Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 52: Clear Thinking

Looking at Yan Shaozhe, whose expression quickly returned to normal, Ling Luochen felt as if he had punched cotton.

Huo Yuhao sensed the change in her emotions and gently squeezed Ling Luochen's soft hand, silently soothing her.

Then she handed the lunchbox she had been carrying to Ling Luochen, and took a few steps forward to the huge ice crystal.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, who seemed to be asleep inside the ice crystal, Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly.

Just like him in his past life, who had done many wrong things, Ma Xiaotao was the same.

No matter what, Ma Xiaotao was one of the few people who were genuinely good to him in his previous life.

Huo Yuhao still harbored some indulgence towards her.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his right hand and touched the cold ice crystal surface, slowly withdrawing the extreme cold energy he had released.

As the ice crystals rapidly melted, Ma Xiaotao's limp body was revealed.

Almost simultaneously, Yan Shaozhe released a gentle white soul force, steadily catching Ma Xiaotao who was about to fall.

At the same time, he came to her side, placed his right hand on Ma Xiaotao's shoulder, and a dense white soul force surged into her body at an astonishing speed, trying to investigate and stabilize the chaotic evil fire within her.

A moment later, Yan Shaozhe's face immediately lit up with undisguised joy.

His gaze toward Huo Yuhao became even more intense.

I must immediately convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.

Talented individuals possessing the ultimate ice martial soul should never be overlooked.

Moreover, as long as he and Ma Xiaotao can get married, Ma Xiaotao's troublesome problem of lust will be easily solved in the future!

……

At this moment, all the elders had gathered in the conference hall on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

This means that the Seagod Pavilion meeting, Shrek's highest authority, is convened only when the academy faces major decisions or unexpected events.

This is a meeting that only the deans and vice deans of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department, as well as the elders of the Hall of Offerings, are qualified to attend.

Ten figures were already seated around an antique oval table.

However, at the innermost seat of the long table, there was a recliner, which looked quite different from the others.

The location of the recliner was very dark, and one could only vaguely make out what appeared to be a person lying on it.

Six elderly men, each with white hair, sat at the head of the round table.

Elder Xuan was among them, occupying the first position on the left.

He held a wine gourd in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right, eating and drinking with sips of wine and bites of meat.

Dean Xian Lin'er and Vice Dean Qian Duoduo of the Soul Guidance Department sat on the right side of the long table, near the end.

Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Martial Soul Department and another middle-aged woman, who was equally charming and had a calm demeanor, sat at the end of the left side.

"Everyone's here, let's begin." Mu En's gentle voice rang out, seemingly capable of cleansing the soul. "Shao Zhe, what is the purpose of your proposal to convene the Sea God Pavilion meeting?"

"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe immediately stood up upon hearing this and bowed towards the head of the table.

Then he turned to the elders around the round table, bowed slightly again, and said, "Teachers, elders. Shao Zhe has urgently convened the Sea God Pavilion meeting today because he has discovered a matter of great importance that may affect the continued prosperity of our Shrek Academy for the next few hundred years."

"boom--"

Xian Lin'er slammed her hand on the table. "Yan Shaozhe, stop spreading alarmist rumors. Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

Her sudden action startled the elders present, and even Elder Xuan, who was enjoying his meal, stopped what he was doing.

An elderly woman sitting in the main seat on the right frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Lin'er, this is a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion. If you continue to make such a fuss, you should go outside and calm down."

Xian Lin'er's expression changed slightly, but in the end she just snorted coldly and said nothing more.

The old lady had snow-white hair, but not many wrinkles on her face, and her eyes were very gentle.

She smiled at Yan Shaozhe and said softly, "Shaozhe, don't pay attention to her, please continue."

"Yes, Elder Lin." Yan Shaozhe didn't look at Xian Lin'er again. He composed himself and continued, "Elders, this is what happened. This morning, I discovered a student in the academy who possesses the ultimate ice martial soul."

His words immediately stirred up a huge wave of discussion.

Ultimate attributes!

In the ten-thousand-year history of Shrek Academy, there have only been three individuals who possessed the ultimate attribute.

Any one of those three was once a famous figure on the mainland.

Elder Xuan put down his wine gourd and chicken leg, wiping his greasy hands on his clothes. "Shao Zhe, tell me the details of that student."

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "Elders, the matter is like this..."

At that moment, he dared not hide anything and recounted the events of the morning in their entirety.

Ma Xiaotao lost control of her evil fire and rushed out of the cultivation area.

Fortunately, the student with the ultimate ice power, with the cooperation of Ling Luochen, an inner court student, intervened in time to control the out-of-control Ma Xiaotao, thus averting a major disaster that could have damaged the academy's reputation.

"...The main issue right now is that the student with the ultimate ice power is Ling Luochen's younger brother." Yan Shaozhe paused, a hint of worry in his voice.

"As for the conflict between Ling Luochen and Xiao Tao, the elders are all somewhat aware of it. My main concern is whether today's events, especially Xiao Tao's loss of control, will affect that student's perception of our academy..."

Although Yan Shaozhe did not finish speaking, the elders present had already understood his implied meaning.

The genius students of the Ultimate Ice are of immeasurable value.

However, due to Ma Xiaotao's out-of-control incident and his relationship with Ling Luochen, this genius is likely to develop a negative impression of the academy.

To mend this potential divide and ensure that this future pillar can truly integrate into Shrek Academy, the academy will likely need to expend a significant amount of money.

Elder Xuan coughed slightly, "What's so irreconcilable about the conflict between Xiao Tao and Ling Luochen, two juniors? How about I suggest that the boy with the ultimate ice power move into the inner courtyard ahead of time?"

We should arrange for him to spend more time with Xiao Tao to get to know her better. Since he's Ling Luo Chen's younger brother, if he gets along well with Xiao Tao, he can naturally mediate and resolve conflicts between the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe immediately showed an expression of agreement.

That was his plan before; indeed, experience counts!

Despite his usual drunken and unreliable demeanor, Elder Xuan's mind is remarkably clear when it comes to crucial moments concerning the academy's future.

Yan Shaozhe smiled just the right amount and replied:

"Yes, Elder Xuan and I share similar views. Besides providing that student with sufficient compensation, I believe it's even more important to let him personally experience the profound heritage and sincere dedication to nurturing us at Shrek Academy, so that he can genuinely love the academy and not end up raising an ungrateful wretch."

Upon hearing this, the elders present immediately understood his profound meaning.

The safest and most effective way to completely bind such a genius to Shrek Academy is to make him a partner with Ma Xiaotao, right?
