No.
"Two ten-thousand-year soul bones, and we consider everything settled."
Yan Shaozhe made another concession.
If this matter could be resolved directly with Tang Feng and Wang Dong, it would be far easier.
Compared to Emperor Xu Jiawei and the Clear Sky Sect's sect master, these two youths were clearly much easier to deal with.
"I already said it."
"Dean Yan, Wang Dong's matter is for you to settle with the Clear Sky Sect yourself."
"What we're discussing now is my compensation, and the price for me taking action."
Tang Feng remained unmoved.
He would not make decisions on Wang Dong's behalf.
After all, Wang Dong's Great Uncle and Second Uncle would never come after him.
On the contrary, by helping Wang Dong, Da Ming and Er Ming would likely owe him a favor.
He might even be able to use them to determine whether God King Tang was already aware of his existence.
"Don't push things too far!"
Yan Shaozhe was starting to lose his composure.
This kid was asking for the moon—he was bleeding him dry.
By Tang Feng's calculation, it would take at least three ten-thousand-year soul bones to suppress this matter.
If the Clear Sky Sect's sect master personally came knocking, anything less than a fifty-thousand-year soul bone wouldn't even begin to solve the problem.
"Then let your disciple lie in bed for a year or two."
"With Shrek Academy's foundation, she won't die."
Tang Feng replied calmly.
The injuries he inflicted on Ma Xiaotao were caused by Extreme Life energy.
Although Elder Zhuang couldn't heal them, Shrek still had food-type soul masters and other methods.
At worst, the Golden Ancient Tree's life energy could be used.
Even without extracting its essence, placing Ma Xiaotao within the tree's domain would slowly heal her.
"At the very least, I once saved your sister's life."
"Can't you take action just once?"
Yan Shaozhe could only bring up Tang Ya.
After all, Tang Ya was Tang Feng's elder sister—surely that carried some weight.
"Fine."
"Then Dean Yan's life-saving恩 toward my sister is now considered fully repaid."
Tang Feng gave Yan Shaozhe no time to respond.
He lightly flicked his right hand.
A Life Blue Silver Grass seed, empowered by Absolute First Strike, instantly entered Ma Xiaotao's body.
Even the Titled Douluo present couldn't react in time—
Interception was impossible.
A brilliant green light immediately enveloped Ma Xiaotao.
The plants frozen and damaged by Extreme Ice around them revived once more, transforming the area into lush greenery.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao seemed as if she were inside her mother's womb—
Except that the process was accelerating infinitely.
The wound in her abdomen that had been pierced clean through healed instantly.
The areas cut by the Imperial Sword's sword qi regenerated fresh skin.
Aside from her tattered clothes, her overall condition had improved remarkably.
"???"
Yan Shaozhe's eyes went wide.
Just like that—
He casually used up the life-saving debt he owed Tang Ya?
He had originally planned to bargain further, exchanging Tang Ya's恩 for multiple treatments.
Yet in the blink of an eye, Ma Xiaotao was already fully healed.
"Wh—where am I…?"
Ma Xiaotao slowly woke up.
The red veil that usually covered her face was long gone.
Her figure was tall and well-proportioned, and her light pink eyes exuded a soul-stealing allure.
Fortunately, the coldness in her gaze slightly suppressed that intoxicating charm.
"Xiao Tao."
"You couldn't suppress your evil fire—why didn't you tell your teacher?"
Yan Shaozhe stared at her sternly.
He even suspected that if they had arrived any later, Tang Feng might have killed her.
This boy was filled with abnormalities at every turn.
He had already heard that Zhang Lexuan herself had suffered a significant loss at Tang Feng's hands last night.
"I'm sorry, Teacher."
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Ma Xiaotao felt lingering fear.
It was as if she had died once—
and then been dragged back.
This eruption of evil fire had made her experience an unprecedented sense of danger.
"You injured outer court students."
"Hurry up and apologize."
Yan Shaozhe reprimanded her.
Since the fault lay with Ma Xiaotao, an apology was unavoidable.
Otherwise, Emperor Xu Jiawei and the Clear Sky Sect's sect master would surely extort them mercilessly.
"I'm… sorry."
Ma Xiaotao looked toward the distance.
Aside from Inner Court instructors, there were also elders from the Sea God Pavilion present.
And behind the Inner Court's senior sister stood two figures—
Both are wearing new student uniforms.
"I hope there won't be a next time."
"Otherwise, the next thing you see will only be her corpse."
Tang Feng swept his gaze coldly across the crowd.
With the Star Luo Empire backing him openly, Shrek Academy didn't dare touch him.
Even if these elders tried to forcibly kill him, he could activate the Divine Path Domain and flee straight into the Star Dou Great Forest.
At worst, he could strike a deal with Di Tian—
Survive first, then wipe out Shrek Academy later.
After all, he possessed a method to heal the Silver Dragon King.
And once life and destruction fully fused, he could become a Supreme God, capable of changing the fate of soul beasts.
"What did you say?!"
Ma Xiaotao instantly flared up.
Since when did a mere freshman dare threaten her?
At most, he was relying on powerful backing—
What real strength could a new student possibly have?
"Xiao Tao, shut up."
Yan Shaozhe immediately barked.
Everything about this disciple was good—
Except for her temper, which was as explosive as her phoenix's evil fire.
"Tang Feng."
"You and your sister are acquainted."
"Your Extreme Ice can suppress Xiao Tao's evil fire."
"In the future, we'll still need your help."
Yan Shaozhe's算盘 beads were practically flying into Tang Feng's face.
First, Xuan Zi wanted to use him as free labor.
Now Yan Shaozhe wanted to rope him into permanently solving Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem.
"Absolutely impossible."
"Even if you offered a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, I wouldn't agree."
Tang Feng rejected him outright.
This old fox wanted to trap him with empty promises again?
He couldn't even bear to part with two ten-thousand-year soul bones—
Yet expected him to believe Shrek's generosity?
Compare that to Emperor Xu Jiawei—
who directly gave him a hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo,
Plus a seventy-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone with Ice Explosion.
Xu Jiawei even had Xu Jiujui look after him for over five years—
clearly trying to matchmake them.
And yet, Xu Jiawei never once brought it up explicitly.
At family banquets, he simply always asked Xu Jiujui to bring Tang Feng along.
"Tang Feng, helping Xiao Tao suppress the evil fire would also aid your cultivation."
Yan Shaozhe continued persuading him.
After searching for so many years, he had finally found someone with Extreme Ice—
and one valued by Mu En himself.
The evil fire that had tormented Ma Xiaotao for years finally had a solution.
How could he not seize this chance?
Moreover, Tang Feng was also a perfect match for Ma Xiaotao.
Yan Shaozhe wanted to bind Tang Feng completely to Shrek's warship.
"No need to say more."
"I'm a healing-type soul master."
"I don't need this kind of cultivation."
Tang Feng shut him down coldly.
This Extreme Ice attribute existed to balance Life and Destruction, acting as a buffer.
Because in Tang Feng's hands, Extreme Life was far more than a healing martial soul.
In the future, he could manipulate life itself—
even create soul skills that directly strip away vitality, an instant death countdown.
Most importantly—
Within his Extreme Life existed a trace of Extreme Destruction.
If the two forces complemented each other, they would form Creation Power.
That was the supreme divine force of Genesis itself.
