This was destined to be a disaster!
At this time, the upper echelons of Shrek Academy had gathered in the Sea Gods Pavilion for a meeting, and the middle-level teachers had also finished work and returned to their residences.
Although academy staff members discovered it immediately, that was a mad Spirit Emperor, and the flames attached to her Spirit were even Phoenix evil flames; ordinary academy staff members simply did not dare to approach.
On the originally established timeline, this crazed Spirit Emperor should have been frozen by the Tianmeng Iceworm inside Huo Yuhao, which was why things did not deteriorate.
Huo Yuhao, who had not obtained the Tianmeng Iceworm, could only rely on the apprenticeship gift bestowed by the Heavenly Fiend Douluo to protect himself, unable to freeze this flame fiend, thereby preventing this unwarranted disaster.
With Huo Yuhao’s current cultivation, naturally, he could not see other clues within this, but if Huang Jinxu were present at this moment, he would definitely be able to see that after this flame fiend Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire went out of control, heading straight for Huo Yuhao was not a coincidence, but rather a guidance of Luck.
This was yet another existence that enjoyed the blessings of Huo Yuhao’s Luck and resolved its own drawbacks.
However, due to the entanglement of the Heavenly Lone Star, Ma Xiaotao did not get her wish.
As the evil fire continuously wreaked havoc and more and more people were injured, the commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the academy’s upper echelons.
Dragon God Douluo Mu En perceived the commotion here, and with a condensation of a Mental Energy Incarnation, amid fluctuating thoughts, he suppressed the out-of-control Ma Xiaotao.
“How could it come to this?”
Looking at the unconscious Ma Xiaotao, Mu En gently sighed, his aged voice filled with melancholy.
With Shrek Academy’s heritage, could it truly not resolve Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire problem?
At the very least, activating the Seagod’s Light could eradicate the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao’s Spirit.
Although it was only a temporary measure that treated the symptoms rather than the root cause, it could at least stabilize Ma Xiaotao’s cultivation to reach the Realm of a Titled Douluo.
Clearly there was a solution, why not use it?
The reason was very simple: it wasn’t worth it!
With Mu En’s current poor physical state, he could activate the Seagod’s Light at most one more time, and then he would leave this World.
The current Shrek Academy still could not do without his support.
Although Ma Xiaotao seemed to have an extraordinary status in the academy, and her teacher was the dean of the Spirit Department, her cultivation was even the leading figure among this generation of Shrek Academy.
But this was merely what Ma Xiaotao herself thought, and what Yan Shaozhe thought.
The other upper echelons of Shrek Academy had characterized Ma Xiaotao from the very beginning.
Unless her Spirit’s drawback problem was completely resolved, it was impossible for her to receive the full cultivation and support of the other upper echelons.
At this moment, Mu En fell into entanglement and deep thought.
After a long while, a trace of firmness appeared in his turbid eyes.
“Xiao Xu, this old man has no choice but to force you a little.”
Amidst his soft words, Mu En’s residual body began to bloom with dazzling light.
The powerful force of light dispelled the endless darkness, shining on Ma Xiaotao’s body and on those students tainted by the evil fire.
At the same time, the golden ancient tree began to tremble and convulse.
“Seagod’s Light, dispel all evil in the World!”
Mu En used his remaining little life to activate the Seagod’s Light, dispelling the raging evil fire.
If it were merely Ma Xiaotao, even if she were on the verge of death, Mu En would not have done this.
But this time, it implicated far too many students.
Moreover, at a time when Shrek Academy’s reputation was currently tottering, once this matter spread, it would be a fatal disaster for Shrek Academy.
Furthermore, in the Soul Master Tournament a year later, Shrek Academy must also win in order to reverse the decline and let the two continents know that Shrek Academy was still that Holy Land of Spirit Masters, and the reason why the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Soul Engineer Academy won in the previous session was purely out of Luck.
Although Ma Xiaotao had many problems, she was indeed the most outstanding existence in this age group, and the academy still needed her.
Besides this, Mu En had other intentions, wanting to force Huang Jinxu a little.
For him, living half a year longer or not made little difference; if the problem of the successor could be completely resolved, everything would be worth it.
He believed that Huang Jinxu’s heart was toward Shrek Academy, and it was merely out of consideration for the influence of his own Spirit.
But after he fell, Shrek Academy would completely enter a period of chaos.
By that time, the impact caused would far exceed the drawbacks brought by Huang Jinxu becoming the Pavilion Master.
As the saying goes, growing old without dying is a thief.
This words were not false at all; Mu En made a decision after only a little thought, yet behind it lay multi-layered considerations and calculations.
He was certain that Huang Jinxu would not stand idly by and let Shrek Academy decline.
“I am old…”
Upon activating the Seagod’s Light, Mu En’s few remaining vitality was completely exhausted, and then his figure slowly fell onto the reclining chair, filled with an aura of dusk and death.
Within his mind, his magnificent yet absurd life began to continuously emerge.
As past events surfaced, Mu En’s fire of life was about to extinguish.
If not for the fact that he was still connected with the golden ancient tree at present, with pure life force constantly providing him a last trace of vitality, he would have completely fallen.
“I…
What is wrong with me?”
Waking up beside Sea God Lake, the regained-reason Ma Xiaotao looked around, and she instantly realized that she seemed to have made a mistake.
And it was the kind of trouble that she herself could not resolve.
Ma Xiaotao left and headed to her teacher’s residence, intending to let her teacher handle this matter.
As Ma Xiaotao left, Huo Yuhao only then surfaced from the bottom of the lake.
Just a moment ago, his cultivation smoothly broke through by 1 level, reaching level 16.
Originally, after absorbing the first spirit ring, his Soul Power had already reached the Realm of around the Peak of level 15.
With the blessing of the Seagod’s Light, he broke through smoothly.
“Go back…”
Right now, Huo Yuhao only had one thought: to return to the dormitory.
Just now, he was truly frightened.
Coupled with soaking in the water for so long, being blown by the cold wind, Huo Yuhao only felt a burst of freezing chill.
He hurried back to the dormitory in a rush.
“What is wrong with this old grandfather?”
When passing beneath the dormitory, seeing that old grandfather lying on the reclining chair, Huo Yuhao always felt a very strange sensation.
This old grandfather’s current state was just like the feeling when his mother was terminally ill back then.
A sorrowful emotion subconsciously emerged from Huo Yuhao’s heart.
He cautiously stepped forward, unable to help softly calling out.
“Old grandfather, old grandfather, are you asleep?”
When he enrolled previously, when Big Brother Beibei brought him to the dormitory, they passed by here and chatted idly with the old grandfather, leaving a rather deep impression on Huo Yuhao, which was why he stepped forward to inspect.
As Huo Yuhao approached, Mu En’s last trace of breath that was about to dissipate stabilized.
