Chapter 4: The Remnant Soul of Thousand‑Ridge Snow

Teaching Director's Office.

Looking at the eleven trainees standing before the desk, Du Weilun pretended to be calm as he adjusted his eyes, but inside he was a bundle of nerves.

It's Zhou Yi again!

Who on earth transferred Zhou Yi to the freshman class!

You should know, even as a sixth‑grade trainee, Zhou Yi has expelled quite a few!

And it's even more so now that she's a freshman.

Every semester, many expelled trainees come looking for him; normally he'd just brush them off, but this time the visitors aren't simple!

Wang Dong, junior head of the Clear Sky Sect.

Su Yun Tian, though his background is unknown, his martial soul is truly an Angel martial soul!

And he was personally brought by Dean Yan, so his background is probably not weak either.

Even if we step back a thousand miles and assume he truly has no background, his divine‑level martial soul can serve as a background!

"I understand the matter, and I'll give you a satisfactory outcome," Du Weilun said. "Then, the eleven of you go stay in Freshman Class 2 for a while; when this issue reaches a result, I'll let you know."

On Zhou Yi's side, her husband is Fan Yu, the person most likely in Slake Academy to reach Ninth‑rank Soul Mentor.

On the trainee side, the background isn't simple either; as a Teaching Director, he doesn't want to offend either side, so he can only stall.

Su Yun Tian squinted; how could he not guess Du Weilun's thoughts? But now the conversation has reached this point, he doesn't feel like adding more.

"Hope so,"

After leaving that remark, the few of them departed.

Du Weilun also let out a sigh of relief.

"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, you really ruined me."

——

"Where to now? Looks like we can't attend class today; how about we stroll around Shilaike City?" Wang Dong said with interest.

"Fine, there's nothing else to do anyway," Su Yun Tian nodded. He's not Huo Yuhao; whenever he has a bit of time, he uses it for cultivation.

However, a lone figure blocked the two.

Yan Shaozhe!

"Dean Yan, what's up?" Su Yun Tian asked curiously.

"I've already known about Zhou Yi's matter; you needn't worry, the Academy will handle her properly,"

Yan Shaozhe said seriously.

"Alright, thank you, Dean Yan," Su Yun Tian gave a faint nod, unconcerned.

The so‑called handling is nothing more than a few reprimands, just giving himself an explanation.

"However, I'm not here for that; I came to ask you for a favor," Yan Shaozhe added.

"Hm? What is it?" Su Yun Tian was slightly startled; what matter requires a special summons?

"Come with me," Yan Shaozhe said without further words; with a sweeping hand gesture, Su Yun Tian's body instantly floated, then followed Yan Shaozhe toward the inner courtyard.

Leaving only a bewildered Wang Dong behind.

Inner courtyard, Heart Lake Island.

After landing, Su Yun Tian guessed it was probably because of Ma Xiaotao.

After all, his martial soul is a Six‑winged Angel, arguably the purest and brightest martial soul.

Soon, the two arrived at a doorway of a room; before entering, Su Yun Tian felt the surrounding temperature rising steadily.

When the door opened, a wave of heat hit them, and sweat unintentionally slid down Su Yun Tian's forehead.

A red figure sat cross‑legged on a mat, wearing a mask, with a black‑red phoenix behind them continuously radiating heat.

"Dean Yan, what's going on?" Su Yun Tian wiped his sweat, asking knowingly.

"This is my disciple, Ma Xiaotao," Yan Shaozhe sighed, a hint of melancholy in his voice. "You should have seen her martial soul—it is the Evil Fire Phoenix."

"So you want me to help suppress her evil fire? But Dean, you know I'm only a Great Soul Master; even though my martial soul's attribute is Heaven overcoming evil fire, it probably won't help much."

Su Yun Tian spread his hands helplessly and said.

"No, although you're only at Great Soul Master level and truly can't fully purify the evil fire, you can definitely suppress it," Yan Shaozhe shook his head, looking serious.

"Although Dean Yan makes sense, why should I help her? Just because she's your disciple? There's no such thing as a free lunch," Su Yun Tian naturally thought of a benefit.

Yan Shaozhe was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Su Yun Tian to negotiate, but after glancing at Ma Xiaotao, he spoke in a low voice:

"Then, before you reach level thirty, each time you help Xiaotao suppress the evil fire, I'll give you a Soul Ascension Pill and a Mysterious Water Pill. How does that sound?"

Mysterious Water Pill, Soul Ascension Pill.

Hearing those names, Su Yun Tian's eyes flickered; if memory served, the Soul Ascension Pill can unconditionally raise soul power by one level below Soul Elder, while the Mysterious Water Pill removes impurities from the body. Still, he showed a reluctant expression and said:

"Dean Yan, you know I'm already near Soul Elder; the Soul Ascension Pill is useless to me, and as for the Mysterious Water Pill, do you think my talent can make use of it?"

"This..." Yan Shaozhe was stunned; even this wasn't satisfactory?

"Then what do you want?"

Su Yun Tian pondered briefly, extended two fingers and said, "In addition to the previous Mysterious Water Pill and Soul Ascension Pill, add two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Two hundred thousand!!" Yan Shaozhe nearly choked on his own blood, daring to ask.

"Perhaps fearing Yan Shaozhe would refuse, Su Yun Tian added, "Dean Yan, rest assured, once the evil fire is purified it won't recur for a long time; the biggest beneficiary of this deal is certainly you.

Moreover, purifying the evil fire consumes a lot of time."

Yan Shaozhe said nothing, only a look of difficulty, then gritted his teeth, sighed and said, "Fine, I accept."

"In addition to the previous Mysterious Water Pill and Soul Ascension Pill, add two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Deal," Su Yun Tian, seeing this, walked without hesitation to Ma Xiaotao and said, "What should I do?"

Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins—sent!

Anyway Shrek is wealthy and arrogant, definitely not lacking this.

"Release your martial soul, use the angel martial soul's inherent purification ability to remove the evil fire on Ma Xiaotao." Yan Shaozhe hurriedly said.

The Slake Academy has been established for ten thousand years, and has a deep understanding of almost ninety‑nine percent of the continent's martial souls, including the angel martial soul.

Each angel martial soul's soul power possesses a purification effect.

Especially the Six-winged Angel, a divine‑rank martial soul, whose attached purification ability is extremely strong, even able to purify the opponent's soul power!

According to Yan Shaozhe's words, Su Yun Tian's expression turned solemn as he nodded, and the Six-winged Angel's illusion instantly manifested behind him.

After extending a hand, invisible golden soul power gathered at his fingertips.

Strands of golden airflow gradually encircled the evil‑fire phoenix illusion behind Ma Xiaotao.

Continuously purifying the evil fire on her body.

At the same time, Su Yun Tian also activated his innate domain—Angel Domain!

In an instant, the purification power surged, and the purified evil fire transformed into angel soul power, feeding back into himself.

Simultaneously, the system voice sounded.

【Ding! Congratulations, host, for snatching Ma Xiaotao, you receive a reward—Divine Awareness Shield, 1000 villain points.】

【Divine Awareness Shield: can block all divine awareness.】

Looking at the system reward, Su Yun Tian was slightly stunned; indeed, Ma Xiaotao is also an important piece for Huo Yuhao.

After all, in Huo Yuhao's mind, she is his biological sister and a capable aide on his path of growth.

At least that's how it is spiritually.

And this so‑called Divine Awareness Shield, isn't it meant to deal with Tang San?

As for villain points…

Glancing at the 16,000 villain points in his backpack, and then at the system shop's items costing tens of thousands, Su Yun Tian sighed.

With this amount of villain points, there aren't many things to buy—mostly soul bones or soul rings—but for now he doesn't really need any.

But one item did catch his interest.

【Qian Renxue's Remnant Soul, price: 20,000 villain points.】

【After purchase, you obtain Qian Renxue's remnant soul, which will reside within the Spirit Sea.】

Su Yun Tian was instantly stunned—Qian Renxue?

He hadn't expected that a person dead for ten thousand years could be revived this way!

But the price is truly steep; he only has a little over ten thousand now.

However, to master the angel martial soul, having the former Angel God Qian Renxue's aid is like adding wings to a tiger!

Buy! Must buy!
