Chapter 114 Dean, listen to our excuses... no, our explanations!
Thanks to Electrolux's research, the original Soul Spirit technology has received some "minor improvements".
After fusing with the Ice Emperor's soul spirit, Huo Yuhao possessed two 400,000-year soul rings and a 400,000-year soul bone.
These combined gave him six powerful ice-attribute soul skills with a lifespan of 400,000 years.
Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion carries two spirit skills: Ice Emperor Protection and Ice Pulse Piercing Strike.
Ice Emperor's Protection is a defensive soul skill.
Ice Pulse Piercing Strike is an offensive soul skill.
Therefore, that finger strike just now was not a casual move.
That was the first soul skill of his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul: Ice Vein Piercing Kill.
This soul skill can ignore physical defense. The extreme cold power will directly penetrate all external defenses, freezing and brittle the body from within. It is specifically designed to counter defensive soul skills and soul masters.
Once hit, everything from the internal organs to the flesh and blood, from the meridians to the bones, will eventually turn to dust under the terrifyingly low temperature of extreme ice.
Once you're hit by this trick, there's almost no way to escape it.
Unless you can anticipate it and dodge the attack.
After all, Ice Pulse Strike is a straight-line attack, going straight in and out, leaving little room for maneuver.
Huo Yuhao blinked, looking at the teacher in front of him with a pleading expression, but did not answer directly.
His gaze first fell on Wang Dong, who was still pouting beside him, and then he looked at the twins not far away.
After withdrawing his gaze, he slowly spoke: "I can lift the ice seal."
"However, I hope the teacher can provide a more appropriate solution to this matter."
Huo Yuhao spoke calmly as he looked at the twin sisters.
"Those two students almost lost their lives just now. Two Soul-Elevating Pills as compensation are far from enough."
The teacher nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, as if afraid that Huo Yuhao would change his mind.
"This is nature, this is nature!"
His tone was quick and urgent: "As long as the ice is thawed, everything is negotiable! The compensation will definitely satisfy you!"
He wouldn't dare say anything like "taking an inch and wanting a mile" right now.
Huo Yuhao nodded, not afraid that the teacher might go back on his word.
Poseidon Pavilion Master Mu En personally stated that if he had any questions or suggestions, he could always go to Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, to report them.
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more. He walked a few steps to Ma Xiaotao, who was frozen in ice, squatted down, and gently placed his right hand on the layer of ice covering her.
The extreme cold was enough to make anyone who got close shiver, but for Huo Yuhao, it was no different from ordinary temperatures.
The ice began to melt.
Starting from where Huo Yuhao's palm touched, the crystal-clear ice shell gradually faded away, like winter snow being blown away by a spring breeze.
Ma Xiaotao's face gradually regained some color, after it had turned deathly pale.
Nearby, Teacher Li, who was desperately activating the Tree of Life martial spirit, immediately sensed the change in the vitality within Ma Xiaotao's body.
The life force he had desperately clung to with the power of his life, though still weak, was no longer lifeless.
Another teacher also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the dense cold sweat from his forehead.
However, just as the two of them relaxed...
A voice came from behind them, causing them to freeze simultaneously.
"What exactly is going on?"
The sound wasn't loud, but to the two teachers it was like a bolt from the blue, sending chills down their spines and instantly soaking their backs in cold sweat.
They were all too familiar with that voice.
So familiar with him that even before turning around to see him, he already knew that the person was Yan Shaozhe!
There weren't many people at the shore of Poseidon Lake at this time of day.
But the Tree of Life Martial Soul True Form that Teacher Li just displayed was over ten meters tall, and its emerald green light was particularly eye-catching in the twilight. How could it not attract attention?
As soon as the light appeared, some curious onlookers gathered around.
Yan Shaozhe is petty, calculating, and has an extremely strong desire for power.
That is why,
His control over the academy was naturally quite strong.
Therefore, the unusual events at the shore of Poseidon Lake quickly reached his ears, prompting him to come and investigate.
The two teachers turned their heads stiffly and saw Yan Shaozhe standing not far away, his gaze passing over them and landing on the faint figure on the ground.
That face, which usually carried a touch of refinement, was now so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
His beloved apprentice was lying on the ground, his fate unknown.
"Dean!"
After a brief moment of panic, Teacher Li quickly spoke, her voice filled with urgency.
"Xiao Tao's evil fire suddenly erupted, and we tried our best to control it."
"Although your breathing is weak now, don't worry, you are absolutely out of danger!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could not cover up his dereliction of duty with lies.
But he could use more tactful language to at least indicate that Ma Xiaotao was alright.
Sure enough, when Yan Shaozhe heard that his disciple was alright, the coldness in his eyes dissipated slightly.
Sure enough, when Yan Shaozhe heard that his disciple was alright, the coldness in his eyes dissipated slightly.
But his expression remained serious as he frowned and asked, "Why is Xiao Tao here? Shouldn't she be in the inner courtyard?"
Another teacher standing next to Teacher Li stepped forward, steeling himself.
He swallowed hard, mustered his courage, and said, "Dean, this is our dereliction of duty. We failed to notice Xiao Tao running away in time... But thankfully, nothing serious has happened yet..."
He stopped mid-sentence, because he saw Wang Dong's gaze directed at him.
He had no doubt that if he continued talking like this, Wang Dong would immediately speak up indignantly.
So the words "no major disaster occurred" that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.
"Ahem!"
He coughed twice, forcing himself to continue, "Just now, two students from the outer academy almost got..."
He spoke haltingly, but he managed to recount everything that had just happened.
Yan Shaozhe listened quietly, his expression unchanged.
But his gaze grew colder and colder.
He glanced coldly at the two teachers in front of him, inwardly cursing them as useless.
If it weren't for their negligence, none of this trouble would have happened.
He had a lot of anger to vent and a lot of cursing words to say.
But with more and more students around, he had to maintain his image as a refined, approachable, fair, and impartial dean under the watchful eyes of everyone.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said calmly, "We'll talk about the two of you later, but... you can't escape punishment."
These words, though not harsh, sent a chill down the spines of both teachers.
Yan Shaozhe ignored them and turned around, his gaze falling on the two blue-haired girls not far away.
Yan Shaozhe looked at them, his tone softening slightly: "This matter was the academy's mistake."
"In addition to the Soul Enhancement Pills we gave you before, no matter whether you are still studying at the academy or not, as long as you need Soul Rings, the academy will send teachers to obtain them for you."
"Xiao Tao is my student, and I, as her teacher, also bear responsibility for the trouble she caused."
He looked at the two blue-haired girls and said, word by word, "I will personally compensate you with two more soul bones. Although they won't be very old, it's still a token of my appreciation."
"I wonder if you are satisfied with this?"
Upon hearing this, the surroundings immediately fell silent.
Soul bones.
That's a soul bone!
Many soul masters never see a soul bone in their entire lives!
The soul bone that countless powerful individuals have sought with all their might but could never obtain!
Now, Yan Shaozhe is actually going to take it out and give it to these two freshmen as compensation?
Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
They opened their mouths, but didn't know what to say, seemingly not yet having reacted.
Meanwhile, the students around them began to whisper among themselves. They were shocked by Dean Yan Shaozhe's generosity, and some even marveled at the "good luck" of the Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu sisters!
