How could there possibly be evil soul masters in Shrek Academy?
"You'd better stop spouting nonsense."
An Inner Court teacher shouted angrily.
Shrek Academy was known as the brightest place on the continent.
Countless evil soul masters had died at the hands of Shrek's Inner Court disciples.
If anyone dared claim Shrek Academy harbored evil soul masters, he would be the first to oppose it.
"Then how do you explain that madwoman?"
"She was clearly trying to kill us."
Tang Feng stared coldly at the crowd.
If Shrek Academy truly refused to reason things out, then there was only one option left—
truth by force.
If reason didn't work, then truth would teach them how to behave.
"How did your elementary academy teachers even educate you?"
"You don't even recognize the Evil Fire Phoenix of Ma Hongjun, the ancestor of Ma Xiaotao?"
That Inner Court teacher sneered.
One of Shrek Academy's greatest prides was the seven god statues displayed at the academy entrance.
Among them stood Ma Hongjun, ancestor of Ma Xiaotao, wielder of the Fire Phoenix martial soul.
"All I know is this—"
"Ma Hongjun never became an evil soul master."
"If this lunatic is falling into corruption, then even a light-aligned martial soul won't save her."
Tang Feng was very clear on this point.
Ma Hongjun's evil fire never erupted because he constantly frequented brothels.
As for Ma Xiaotao?
If she couldn't suppress her evil fire, then she shouldn't cultivate recklessly—
harming both herself and others.
"She is my disciple, Yan Shaozhe's disciple!"
"She is not an evil soul master!"
"Everything you saw today—forget it all, or you'll be expelled from the academy!"
Yan Shaozhe threatened coldly.
Shrek Academy didn't solve problems—
They solved the people who raised them.
"So you're the famous Dean Yan, are you?"
"First, Nether Douluo escaped from your hands."
"Then your disciple commits attempted murder under your watch."
"I really want to ask—"
"Is your title as a Super Douluo fake?"
Tang Feng's expression was icy.
His greatest doubt had always been the incident in Heaven Dou City.
What level was Nether Douluo—Rank 91? Rank 92?
And yet he managed to escape after committing atrocities, right under Yan Shaozhe's pursuit?
Was a god interfering from behind the scenes?
Or did Yan Shaozhe deliberately hesitate for some reason?
Tang Feng had questioned Tang Ya in detail afterward.
Nether Douluo's target had always been her.
The two Soul Saints dispatched by the Star Luo Imperial Family were brutally killed while protecting Tang Ya.
Nether Douluo only abandoned the pursuit after encountering Yan Shaozhe.
Then, offense and defense reversed—
Yan Shaozhe began chasing him.
The most absurd part was this:
While being hunted by Yan Shaozhe, Nether Douluo still found time to return to the Tang Sect—
and vent his rage by slaughtering Tang Feng's parents.
If Yan Shaozhe and Nether Douluo were evenly matched, that would at least make sense.
But the gap between them was enormous.
Yan Shaozhe's Light Phoenix martial soul even countered Nether Douluo's abilities.
"So you're Tang Ya's younger brother."
Dressed in white, Yan Shaozhe finally understood Tang Feng's identity.
This was the genius healer his teacher often mentioned—
The successor of Immortal Healer Douluo is Wang Xian'er.
The Star Luo Emperor had even publicly announced that once Tang Feng reached the Soul Sage rank, he would become an imperial consecrator.
"That's right. I am Tang Feng."
Tang Feng neither hid nor denied it.
All he wanted was to understand the unreasonable parts of this incident.
"Kid, Shaozhe saved your sister's life."
"That's a life-saving恩情 for your family."
"And aren't you fine right now?"
"Yet you keep pressing the issue with Xiao Tao—aren't you going too far?"
The speaker was an elderly man with greasy skin, disheveled hair, and tattered clothing.
His appearance was terrible.
What should have been a white robe was now gray-brown and torn in several places.
Even among the Sea God Pavilion elders, he stood at the front—
clearly someone of high status and strength.
"With respect, senior, that's not correct."
"The reason I'm fine is that I'm strong enough."
"My roommate, however, was seriously injured."
Tang Feng grabbed Wang Dong's hand.
He had been continuously circulating life essence to relieve the pain in Wang Dong's back.
He deliberately hadn't fully healed him—
Otherwise, these old men might refuse to acknowledge responsibility.
Tang Feng pulled Wang Dong forward.
Wang Dong's back clothing had been burned away entirely, revealing a large area of severe burns.
If he hadn't pressed close to Tang Feng's back in time,
no one knew how badly he would have been burned.
"Here—two Soul Ascension Pills."
"Let's end this matter here."
Yan Shaozhe glanced briefly.
The injuries weren't particularly severe.
Tang Feng could easily heal them.
With an Extreme Life martial soul, his healing surpassed even Elder Zhuang's—this was trivial.
"Two Soul Ascension Pills, think that's enough?"
Tang Feng finally understood just how stingy Yan Shaozhe was.
Such a massive incident—
And he wanted to settle it with just two pills?
"Kid, don't push your luck."
"Just heal him casually, and he'll be fine."
Xuanzi was visibly irritated.
In his view, this minor issue had been blown far out of proportion.
Besides—
Ma Xiaotao was far more seriously injured.
Even with Elder Zhuang's treatment, she would need months to recover.
"Then take it up with the Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Feng said coldly.
"Wang Dong, send a message to the Clear Sky Sect Master."
"Tell him you were seriously injured by an evil soul master while at Shrek Academy."
Tang Feng immediately began treatment.
A Blue Silver Grass swayed gently in the air.
Pure, dense life essence enveloped Wang Dong's body.
It felt as though everything had returned to the origin of creation—
life-giving light reshaping all things.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Dong was fully restored.
Tang Feng took out a large coat from his soul tool and draped it over Wang Dong.
"You saw that?"
Wang Dong felt awkward.
He had thought Tang Feng was too focused on Ma Xiaotao to notice him.
"That huge Clear Sky Hammer—I'm not blind."
"But honestly, you're lazy."
"Dual martial souls, and you're only Rank 21."
Tang Feng looked disgusted.
Still, seeing Wang Dong pull out the Clear Sky Hammer and prepare to fight Ma Xiaotao to the death—
That did reassure him.
At least Wang Dong had a conscience.
"You're… the young master of the Clear Sky Sect?"
Xuanzi looked like he'd just swallowed something foul.
This mess had just grown far more troublesome.
One backed by the Star Luo Emperor.
One backed by the Clear Sky Sect.
Neither was easy to deal with.
"I'll report everything truthfully to my First Father and Second Father."
Wang Dong bared his teeth.
The pain from the phoenix's evil fire earlier had been excruciating.
If not for Tang Feng holding his hand and channeling life essence into him,
he might not have endured it.
There was no way he'd suffer this for nothing.
Shrek Academy would have to bleed heavily in compensation.
"Elder Zhuang, how is Xiao Tao?"
Yan Shaozhe asked anxiously.
During the standoff, teachers had already pulled Ma Xiaotao from the lake bottom.
Her abdomen had been pierced.
Her body was riddled with cuts from sword qi, wounds frozen by ice crystals.
Her evil phoenix fire had also been completely suppressed—
a blessing amid disaster.
"She'll need to stay in bed for several months."
Elder Zhuang stared at Tang Feng in shock.
He had never expected this young man to possess dual Extreme martial souls.
What was more frightening—
The injuries inflicted by Extreme Life couldn't be healed by his Life Tree martial soul.
The moment his life energy seeped in, it was devoured by Tang Feng's Extreme Life energy—
actually worsening Ma Xiaotao's condition.
