Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 12 is just a bit of a grudge.

Chapter 12 is just a bit of a grudge.

Left with no other option, Xu Sanshi had to use his soul power to forcibly break Ye Nanxiao's ice seal. Otherwise, being frozen like this at the entrance of Class One, with so many people passing by, would be far too embarrassing. 😡💚 ➅➈𝕤𝕙ᵘⓍ.ℂσⓜ 🐊☜

Just as Xu Sanshi was exerting all his soul power to try and break through Ye Nanxiao's ice, Bei Bei and Tang Ya came out. Seeing Xu Sanshi frozen at the door by Ye Nanxiao, Tang Ya asked curiously, "Hey classmate, what happened to you?"

Xu Sanshi asked, puzzled, "I just struck up a conversation with a blonde girl, and then I got frozen here by some guy with ears on his head. Um, could you help me out?"

Beibei laughed and said, "The one with ears on his head is our class monitor, and the one you're talking to is his girlfriend. Fortunately, the class monitor isn't in a bad mood today." As she spoke, she tried to break the ice under Xu Sanshi's feet, but Ye Nanxiao, being the ultimate ice master, was not so easy to break.

After a great deal of effort, the two finally managed to rescue Xu Sanshi from Ye Nanxiao's frozen state.

Xu Sanshi solemnly thanked Bei Bei, secretly feeling a strong competitive spirit towards Ye Nanxiao, then turned and ran away—it was too damn embarrassing.

Beibei and the other girl looked at Xu Sanshi running away and smiled at each other.

Tang Ya asked, "Nan Xiao wouldn't be this ruthless, would he? You went through so much trouble, didn't you?"

Beibei sighed and said, "I never expected Nanxiao, who's usually so carefree, to be so capable."

"Then this sect leader is really lucky, Beibei. What do you think about making Nanxiao the vice sect leader? I'll push all the work onto him?" Tang Ya suggested with a smile, her eyes crinkling into crescents.

"I think it's a good idea. After all, Jiang Nannan is now part of the Tang Clan, and Nanxiao will definitely manage her well!" Beibei smiled and nodded in response.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei made a decision: the Tang Clan must not let Ye Nanxiao go.

Ye Nanxiao, who was shopping with Jiang Nannan, suddenly shivered. "What's wrong, Xiao?"

Jiang Nannan sensed that Ye Nanxiao was acting strangely and asked him with concern.

"It's nothing," Ye Nanxiao replied.

Ye Nanxiao shook his head, secretly thinking about how to teach Xu Sanshi a severe lesson. This turtle must be beaten hard!

In the following days, Ye Nanxiao's displeasure with Xu Sanshi even alarmed Yu Chu.

In the classroom office, Yu Chu stared at Ye Nanxiao with a serious expression. The latter looked completely innocent. Yu Chu asked seriously, "Ye Nanxiao, can you tell me what happened between you and Xu Sanshi?"

Ye Nanxiao opened his innocent eyes wide and shook his head.

Yu Chu was somewhat helpless. She had heard from the rumors that Ye Nanxiao beat up Xu Sanshi just because Xu Sanshi had chatted up Jiang Nannan. But there was no need to beat Xu Sanshi up to the point that he ran away as soon as he saw Ye Nanxiao. However, things had to stop, after all, Xu Sanshi was the young master of the Xuanming Sect.

Yu Chu rubbed her throbbing temples and said to Ye Nanxiao, "Alright, no matter how much of a grudge you two have, you have to stop now, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with. After all, he is still the young master of the Xuanming Sect."

Ye Nanxiao nodded perfunctorily and was then put back.

As soon as they returned to the classroom, the previously noisy class instantly quieted down. Ye Nanxiao had made quite a few moves these past few days, but Jiang Nannan had always pulled him back by pinching his fox ears. However, the whole class silently remembered that Ye Nanxiao was not to be trifled with, and Jiang Nannan was not to be messed with.

"At least I've achieved my goal," Ye Nanxiao thought to himself as Jiang Nannan pinched his fox ears.

Yu Chu stepped into the classroom the moment the class bell rang and said to all the students, "Today we are going to the Soul Fighting Zone for testing. The class monitor will be in charge of leading the team and will be responsible for the actions according to the previously assigned groups."

Two days earlier, Yu Chu had explained the classification of Soul Masters in detail and instructed the class to form three-person teams according to the classification requirements.

The girl paired with Ye Nanxiao and Jiang Nannan is a power-attack type. Her martial soul is the same as Ye Nanxiao and Jiang Nannan's, both being beast-type martial souls. She is not as tall as Jiang Nannan, and is more like a loli. Her martial soul is a relatively rare flying type martial soul, the Crimson Feather Bird.

Ye Nanxiao immediately rejected the idea of ​​Lin Susu, the little girl who had just joined the team, to practice together to get to know each other's martial souls and soul skills.

"Among this year's Shrek Academy graduates, no one can claim to be second to me," Ye Nanxiao said proudly, waving his hand.

Lin Susu's big eyes shone with admiration as she asked, "Hey, Brother Nanxiao, who came in first?"

Ye Nanxiao was speechless. As for who would be number one, that would depend on who could control him. Jiang Nannan stroked Ye Nanxiao's fox ears with satisfaction and took over the conversation, "As for who would be number one, I guess it hasn't been decided yet."

Ye Nanxiao didn't know what to say about it. Ye Nanxiao had his own pride, and Jiang Nannan had her own stubbornness. Although she inherited the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, Jiang Nannan could only barely surpass most of the Shrek Academy freshmen in terms of Soul Masters. It was difficult for her to keep up with Ye Nanxiao's pace in terms of cultivation.

Although Ye Nanxiao didn't say anything, he secretly studied Jiang Nannan's cultivation path every day.

Shrek Academy's assessment area is located in the north-central part of the Martial Soul Department, adjacent to the Battle Soul Area. Compared to the Battle Soul Area, the assessment area is much larger.

For the students of Shrek Academy's outer academy, this is a paradise for outstanding students to showcase themselves, but it is also a nightmare for students with lower cultivation levels. Every year, a large number of students are eliminated because they cannot pass the assessments, and almost all assessments are conducted here.

The assessment area is generally oval-shaped, unlike the Soul Fighting Area which is like an enclosed stadium. Instead, it is an open space with a low wall around the outside and partitions inside that divide the area into sections. These partitions can be disassembled at any time to change the size of the sections.

Every year, the freshman assessment is the time when the assessment area is divided into the most regions. This is not only because there are many freshmen, but also because the freshmen's soul power is not high, and their destructive power and attack range are limited. A large area is not needed for them to display their abilities.

The entire assessment area covers approximately 20,000 square meters and has now been divided into fifty zones, each about 400 square meters in size, which are squares with a length of 20 meters. This is sufficient for the freshmen who generally only have one or two ring cultivation levels and are not very destructive.

In the upper part of the audience seats in the assessment area, there was a woman in red, who was Ma Xiaotao.

Inherited from Ma Hongjun, the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is a top-tier bird Martial Soul from birth, which makes Ma Xiaotao's strength rank among the top ten in the Inner Academy. However, the inherited Martial Soul also has the flaw of evil fire.

Every time Ma Xiaotao cultivated, the evil fire would scorch her mind, and that domineering evil fire was constantly backfiring on her.

When Ma Xiaotao's cultivation level reached the sixth ring, she could no longer suppress the evil fire on her own and needed external force to suppress it in order to cultivate.

This troubled Ma Xiaotao. As a strong-willed girl, Ma Xiaotao naturally hoped that her own shortcomings could be overcome. Yan Shaozhe said that perhaps the ice attribute could help Ma Xiaotao cultivate, provided that the ice attribute could suppress the evil fire that was close to the extreme fire.

"Luo Luo said that Ye Nanxiao's martial soul is also ice-attribute, and it can also attract Luo Luo's martial soul. Maybe it can help me," Ma Xiaotao muttered to herself.

The next moment, a figure full of light appeared beside him, dressed in a white robe, with gray hair combed down to the side to cover his right eye, one hand behind his back and the other stroking his newly grown goatee.

"Master," Ma Xiaotao called out respectfully.

As the dean of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe was very focused on competing with Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, for students—cough cough, let's just say he was training new students!

"Xiao Tao, what brings you here to watch the freshmen's martial arts demonstration today? Which freshman have you taken a fancy to? Your master will get him for you!" Yan Shaozhe said domineeringly.

"Master, I just came to see if there was any ice-attribute martial soul like the one you mentioned that could suppress my evil fire. You're overthinking it," Ma Xiaotao said helplessly.

"Oh? I remember I said I needed a martial soul with ice attribute that could suppress your evil fire, at the very least close to the ultimate attribute. You found it?" Yan Shaozhe leaned forward slightly and said excitedly.

"Hard to say, isn't that what you're looking for?" Ma Xiaotao replied casually. Extreme attributes aren't like dandelions by the roadside, something you can just find whenever you want.

"I remember there was a young master from the Xuanming Sect who was also a freshman this year. You can give it a try. The Xuanming Sect is known for its ultimate water, so it can be of some help."

"No, he's not handsome enough." Ma Xiaotao waved her hand with her eyes closed.

"You're just like me!" Yan Shaozhe said with a smile.

While the two were talking, the test had already begun. The first test was against a soul beast. The test was to hold out against the soul beast for a certain period of time and, ideally, defeat it.

Ye Nanxiao glanced into the depths of the opposite cage, but before he could make his own judgment, Xue Di's voice rang in his mind, "At most, it's just a two-thousand-year-old soul beast. There's nothing special about it."

Ye Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Two thousand years is no problem for Nannan." He then consciously stood at the very back of the line.

Seeing this, Lin Susu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother Nanxiao, why aren't you going first?"

"You don't understand. The main characters always appear last. That's called the 'main character law'," Ye Nanxiao said, striking a pose.

Lin Susu nodded, seemingly understanding, and asked with wide eyes, "What's the main character? Can you eat it?"

"No, but he's handsome." Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and said.

As Yan Shaozhe expected, there were some outstanding students, but none of them were as exceptionally outstanding as he had anticipated.

After Jiang Nannan kicked a 1200-year-old soul beast away and landed quietly, the whole class applauded. Judging from the current situation, Jiang Nannan is already the student with the best grades in the class.

Ye Nanxiao slowly walked onto the stage and chose to fight against the two-thousand-year-old soul beast with the highest age.

Ye Nanxiao has become the undisputed leader of the group because he beats Xu Sanshi every day. There are many people with powerful family backgrounds like Xu Sanshi, but there are not many people who beat Xu Sanshi up every day.

The heavy cage slowly rose, and a leopard-like spirit beast with a jet-black body slowly walked out.

The Shadow Leopard stared intently at Ye Nanxiao with its pair of red beastly eyes, let out a low growl from its blood-red mouth, and slashed through the air with its sharp claws, its front body slightly crouching.

Ye Nanxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his martial spirit quietly possessed him, nine tails swayed slowly behind him, his fox eyes stared at the shadow leopard, and his aura exploded out.

Shadow Leopard will never forget that day when it saw a human with nine tails—no, not a human, but a ferocious beast from the ancient wilderness!

"Ughhhhhh!" The shadow leopard let out a terrified roar, then its beastly eyes turned white, and it collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth. At the same time, faint mournful cries came from deep within the cage, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"Whoa!" Yan Shaozhe exclaimed excitedly, "It's him! The future of the Martial Soul system, it's him!"

The room fell silent. Yu Chusu covered her mouth with her hand, while Lin Susu stared wide-eyed, unaware that the lollipop in her mouth had fallen to the ground. Apart from Jiang Nannan, everyone else in Class One was stunned and petrified.

"There are quite a few people who can watch the freshman assessment. With such a striking appearance, could the one in red in the audience be Ma Xiaotao? And could the one with the goatee next to him be Yan Shaozhe?" Based on his familiarity with the original text, Ye Nanxiao tried to determine the identities of the two people in the audience.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Ye Nanxiao suddenly asked Xue Di anxiously, "Can the two of us work together to conceal the aura of the spirit rings? See that non-mainstream guy in the white robe with the side-swept bangs in the audience? We're going to be targeted by him!"

"What's the rush? You have plenty of good stuff inside you," Xue Di said slowly, holding her book.

Ye Nanxiao then realized that Xue Di was controlling her body's aura through the golden paper inside her body, and that the ring behind her was not a blood-red 100,000-year soul ring, but an ordinary yellow and purple one.

"This one can change color?" Ye Nanxiao turned his head and asked, looking at the spirit ring behind him.
