"Young people are so good, they fall asleep as soon as they lie down."

Behind him, the soul-guided lights of the outer courtyard formed a golden network across Shrek Academy. The vast night wind blew through the golden strands of hair, and Ling Bai, holding Ma Xiaotao in his arms, sighed helplessly.

The battle just now had revealed all his trump cards. Apart from not activating the Burning Bone Dragon Eagle Bone Skill, he had used every trick in the book to barely subdue Ma Xiaotao, who was fighting purely on instinct and had reserved her sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower. If she had regained her senses and they had fought a fair one-on-one, Ling Bai couldn't guarantee a sure win against the Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Emperor.

On his first day at Shrek Academy, he had been dragged into a major mess. He couldn't even imagine how he would survive the days ahead.

After a moment, Ling Bai landed by the Sea God Lake and noticed that Ma Xiaotao's hands had somehow wrapped around his neck, her half-cheek flushed, making her stunning face even more radiant.

"Not fighting, she's actually quite beautiful."

Ling Bai whispered. Ma Xiaotao's appearance was undoubtedly that of an angel with a devil's figure. If her personality were a bit gentler, she would be perfect.

One of the two live volcanoes in the Inner Academy, who would dare to touch her!

Suddenly, Ling Bai sensed something and looked in a certain direction. A white light point was approaching at an astonishing speed, landing in front of him in the blink of an eye.

A middle-aged man in white, with a handsome and refined appearance, his hair neatly combed, exuding a comfortable and bright aura.

"Hey, you're here?"

Ling Bai stared with dead fish eyes, looking like a thoroughly salted fish.

Even a clay statue has a bit of fire. This guy was clearly a teacher at Shrek Academy, and his status was undoubtedly high. After the huge commotion Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao had caused, he didn't believe for a second that the man had just arrived!

"Yes, classmate."

The middle-aged man was also no slouch. Despite Ling Bai's slightly sarcastic tone, his face didn't change, as if he had two big words carved on his forehead:

Thank you!

"I am the Dean of the Soul Power Department, Yan Shaozhe. Ma Xiaotao is my personal disciple. Her Phoenix Evil Fire has always been a concern, and I didn't expect it to erupt without warning tonight. Thanks to you, classmate. Are you hurt at all?"

"I am, very badly."

"Nothing serious... huh?"

Yan Shaozhe's pupils dilated slightly. The carefully prepared words in his mind fell into a bottomless pit. He stared at Ling Bai, whose aura had suddenly weakened, and his mind screamed.

Extortion!

Definitely extortion!

He had clearly seen that Ling Bai had been fine after fighting Ma Xiaotao, lively and energetic one second, and critically injured the next. Who would believe it!

Ling Bai coughed weakly, "Dean Yan, Senior Sister Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame is too powerful. I was lucky to survive. Now, my body is full of raging evil fire.

It's fine, I can endure it.

Although I am just a weak four-ringed Soul Master, and a new student at Shrek Academy... I deeply understand that helping classmates is a selfless act.

I am willing to pay the price for Senior Sister, even if the Phoenix Evil Fire leaves me with lingering injuries that affect my future, I will not take a single needle or thread from Shrek Academy... Rest assured, I won't tell anyone..."

!!!

Ma Xiaotao, who had quietly regained consciousness, bit her lower lip hard, struggling to suppress her laughter, causing her face to slightly contort.

So bad!

This kid is so bad!

Ma Xiaotao knew that Ling Bai must have realized that Yan Shaozhe had been there all along, perhaps intentionally testing him without immediately intervening. So, he had played along, openly and secretly trying to extort Yan Shaozhe!

Yan Shaozhe's face grew darker as he listened, and finally, he waved his hand, forcing a smile, "Look what you're saying. Is Shrek Academy a place that doesn't distinguish between good and evil? For protecting a classmate, the Academy must reward you. Here, take it!"

With that, Yan Shaozhe tossed a white jade bottle to Ling Bai.

Ling Bai opened the wooden stopper on the bottle, and a fragrant aroma wafted out. Through the bottle's mouth, he could see three dragon-eyed pills lying quietly inside, crystal clear and translucent, with a faint green glow.

"Soul Nourishing Pill, Dean, you are generous."

Ling Bai expressed his gratitude to Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow, "You've had it before?"

The Soul Nourishing Pill was an advanced version of the Soul Elevating Pill, refined from the essences of over thirty thousand-year-old plant-type soul beasts, with the remarkable

effects of purifying the body and nurturing the spirit.

In the Douluo Continent, only a very few plant-type soul masters could refine the Soul Nourishing Pill, and the annual yield was no more than three to five pills.

Although Ling Bai recognized the Soul Nourishing Pill, Yan Shaozhe felt that Ling Bai's expression wasn't particularly surprised, more like a perfunctory response:

Soul Nourishing Pill, okay, okay, thanks!

Only disciples from top-tier families or major sects would have encountered the Soul Elevating Pill. Ling Bai's behavior made Yan Shaozhe hesitate about the plans he had for him.

"Dean, my name is Ling Bai, from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower."

Having entered the Academy with a recommendation from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Yan Shaozhe could easily verify this basic information from Du Weilun. Ling Bai decided to be

straightforward.

"Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?" Yan Shaozhe understood.

No wonder Ling Bai seemed a bit perfunctory about the Soul Nourishing Pill. The Guardian

Douluo of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was the strongest living plant-type Douluo in the

continent today!

Guardian, Jianmu!

Jianmu Douluo was a contemporary of the Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo Muen. Yan Shaozhe, as the Dean of the Soul Power Department, would bow and respectfully call Jianmu Douluo "senior" when they met. The Soul Nourishing Pill was a top-tier pill that Jianmu Douluo had improved upon the Soul Elevating Pill in his youth.

Given Ling Bai's talent, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and Jianmu Douluo would likely

treat the Soul Nourishing Pill like candy.

"Is Senior Jianmu well these days?"

Yan Shaozhe had once heard his teacher, Muen, mention that when the Main Body Sect's two leaders wreaked havoc on the continent, it was Muen and Jianmu Douluo who went to stop

them.

After a fierce battle, Dragon God Douluo Muen severely wounded the Main Body Sect's leader, Poison Must Die, who later died from his injuries after hiding back in the Main Body Sect for years. Muen paid a heavy price, losing a vertebra and never being able to stand straight again. Jianmu Douluo fought alone against Poison Unkillable for three days and three nights, both of them suffering serious injuries. Jianmu Douluo was left with a chronic illness and retired to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, disappearing from public view.

"Same as always."

Ling Bai's tone was indifferent, and the five simple words made it impossible to discern the

truth of his words.

"Standing up in the face of impending collapse, Jianmu Douluo is a respected senior. It's a

pity I've never had the chance to meet him. His presence is a blessing for the continent and the Academy." Yan Shaozhe sighed.

"I'll take care of Xiaotao. You're quite injured, go back and rest well. I'll think of more compensation for you."

Yan Shaozhe used Ling Bai's excuse to take Ma Xiaotao from him and turned to leave.
