Chapter 67

Special Dormitory Building

Watching the entire dormitory building being swallowed by the sea of fire, everyone was shocked.

Countless teachers rushed over, wanting to put out the fire, but unfortunately... they discovered in horror that this fire seemed different from ordinary fire.

It couldn't be extinguished at all, and it possessed an extremely strong swallowing ability.

A high-level Soul Saint teacher activated his martial soul and entered the sea of fire, but after a while, he discovered in horror that his soul power was decreasing rapidly, accompanied by bursts of burns afterward...

"Special dormitory building, 157 people expected, 154 actually present... one person didn't return last night."

The dormitory manager came to Yan Shaozhe's side and said the real data tremblingly.

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe clenched his fists tightly instantly.

With this data, that meant there should still be two people in the sea of fire; among so many people, Yan Shaozhe didn't see Xu Nian'an and Ma Xiaotao, so how could he not be nervous.

What's more, his spiritual power scan showed no trace of Xu Nian'an and Ma Xiaotao's aura at all.

Could it be... could it be...

"No, I must see the person alive, or see the corpse dead, I'll go myself!"

Just as Yan Shaozhe turned around, intending to rush into the sea of fire, a divine firebird suddenly flew out of the high building that had turned into a sea of fire.

The firebird was covered in crimson firelight from head to toe; it was arrogant, it was sacred, and its eyes were disdainful.

The moment it appeared, powerful bloodline power began to shine, instantly illuminating the entire Shrek Academy.

Hum hum hum~~~~

Yellow... yellow... purple... black...

The students in the special dormitory were instantly oppressed by the powerful pressure on the firebird, causing their soul rings to fly out.

Teachers below the Soul Saint level also had a hard time; they all activated their martial souls, released their soul rings, and looked at the firebird soaring in the sky with vigilance.

"This... this is!"

Seeing this firebird, Yan Shaozhe widened his eyes.

He was very familiar with this firebird; although its appearance was something he had never seen before, however, seeing the excitement of his own martial soul... Yan Shaozhe guessed that it should be composed of two martial souls.

Looking at the details of every part of that firebird, Yan Shaozhe had already guessed the general idea.

But he still couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that something might go wrong.

Until a black soul ring burning with crimson flames appeared, Yan Shaozhe guessed the result.

The soul ring was engraved with Vermilion Bird and Phoenix patterns, both of which were slowly shining.

Bang, boom!

The dormitory building wall collapsed, stirring up a burst of smoke and dust.

Step, step step step step!

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps slowly sounded from the sea of fire, and everyone's attention was instantly focused on the stirred-up smoke and dust.

In the smoke and dust, the outline of a tall figure slowly appeared; in his arms, he seemed to be holding something.

The smoke dissipated; it was a white garment stained sparrow-black by smoke and dust; he had silver hair and blue eyes, and with a firm gaze, he carried a tall red-haired woman and slowly walked out of the sea of fire barefoot.

"This... who is this, being in this kind of fire for so long and being fine, could it be the Fire God's Son?"

"That's not necessarily true, didn't you see that the fire was afraid to approach him?"

"Wait, look at the person he's holding in his arms!"

"Flame Demon, Ma Xiaotao, who is about to graduate from the sixth grade!"

"No wonder the dormitory caught fire, with her there, it's no surprise."

Awoo awoo awoo!!!

Er Gou pounced excitedly, only to be kicked away by Xu Nian'an.

"Where did this stray dog come from, get lost quickly, or I'll kill you for meat!"

Burned Er Gou: It's me, it's me, it's Hu Niu, it's me!!!

"Teacher!"

Xu Nian'an carried Ma Xiaotao to Yan Shaozhe's side.

Yan Shaozhe glanced at Ma Xiaotao, whose face was haggard and lips were pale, and after sensing that Xu Nian'an's soul power had broken through to Level 30, he sighed heavily.

"Young people should be restrained, don't be impatient, don't think about eating and drinking to go... all day long... otherwise you'll be full of tears in your old age!"

"Go, go, leave the matter here to me."

Xu Nian'an nodded upon hearing this, and the Vermilion Bird holy bird in the sky suddenly exploded.

The huge black soul ring split into seven soul rings, falling into Xu Nian'an and Ma Xiaotao's bodies respectively.

In a daze, Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes; noticing Ma Xiaotao's movement, Xu Nian'an lowered his head and kissed her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ma Xiaotao held Xu Nian'an tighter with both hands, and intense sleepiness caused her to fall into sleep again.

After a burst of green light flashed..., the door to the Healing Department Director's room was slowly opened.

"How is it?"

Looking at the Healing Department Director's haggard face, Xu Nian'an hurriedly asked about the situation inside.

"I can understand young people being in love, but can you pay attention to the girl's physical condition."

"Fortunately, Xiao Tao's body has reached the strength of a Soul Emperor level, what about next time? Do you want her to die in bed?"

Xu Nian'an didn't reply, just listened quietly.

"Young man, think about the consequences of everything you do; in the future, when doing this kind of thing, I still hope you can be a bit more restrained, even if you can suppress Xiao Tao's evil fire."

Xu Nian'an nodded repeatedly, and after the Healing Department Director Xiyao left, he immediately walked into the ward.

At this time, Ma Xiaotao had already fallen asleep; her face was no longer haggard, but her lips were still a bit pale.

Sitting down by the bed, he gently lifted her red long hair; from this angle... this sleeping posture, Xu Nian'an saw such a beautiful Ma Xiaotao for the first time.

Perhaps this was the bonus of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," perhaps this was also the bonus of his own guilt toward Ma Xiaotao afterward; anyway, in Xu Nian'an's eyes, Ma Xiaotao had never been so pleasing to the eye, so good-looking.

Thinking about what happened not long ago, he originally wanted to use the Vermilion Bird martial soul to properly discipline Ma Xiaotao, and then use Extreme Ice to suppress it... didn't expect.

Didn't expect that the Vermilion Bird's suppression seemed to be more effective than Extreme Ice's suppression, directly injecting divine fire into Ma Xiaotao's body.

The Evil Fire Phoenix trembled, and could only passively endure.

Scanning with his eyes, the reward for Ma Xiaotao's favorability increasing to eighty, Xu Nian'an's mouth kept smiling.

Four ten-thousand-year soul rings, one hundred-thousand-year soul ring, one Myriad Worlds item lottery chance, one hundred percent martial soul compatibility.

This also meant that Xu Nian'an could release a martial soul fusion skill with Ma Xiaotao.

The first soul ring of the second martial soul was increased to a forty-thousand-year age, Xu Nian'an's body was further strengthened, and his height approached one meter eighty-eight.

Compared to the previous rewards, Xu Nian'an still liked the last one.

【Goddess Ma Xiaotao's favorability: eighty! (Goddess Ma Xiaotao is unwavering toward you!)】

Thinking and thinking, Xu Nian'an felt sleepy without knowing it, and fell asleep on the bed.

The light outside the window gradually brightened, and he didn't know how much time had passed.

On the hospital bed, Ma Xiaotao's right hand moved, and a tear slid from the corner of her eye...

She woke up, but she didn't want to face reality, because just last night, she experienced the most tragic moment of her life; the little man she was gradually starting to like died in her arms.

In her dream, his soft words were still echoing.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Ma Xiaotao really cried to death; her evil fire killed him, but what about him?

Even in death, he didn't forget to protect her; how much... how much she hoped that she would never wake up either.

【Ding, your death made goddess Ma Xiaotao feel sad, favorability plus one!】

【Reward: An inexhaustible kidney.】

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an raised his head, completely bewildered.

"I died???"
