Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 166 Advancing to the Ultimate Flame
"Congratulations, Sister Tao! You'll never be troubled by the evil fire again, and both your cultivation and strength have increased dramatically!"

Ye Chen walked over, squatted down, and gently gave Ma Xiaotao a hug.

"Hmph, even though the evil fire is gone, you still have to come here at least once a week... no, at least three times!" Ma Xiaotao grumbled.

"Sister Xiaotao, can you be serious for once..." Ye Chen's lips twitched.

To everyone's surprise, this was the first thing Ma Xiaotao thought of.

"Ugh...it's all your fault, you've corrupted me!" Ma Xiaotao blushed slightly, gently pinched Ye Chen, and immediately shifted the blame.

"Haha."

Ye Chen laughed and stopped dwelling on the topic. He gently comforted Ma Xiaotao, saying, "Alright, alright, Sister Xiaotao, take a rest and recover your strength. I have another gift for you later."

"Hmm, there's a gift too. What is it this time?" Ma Xiaotao was a little overwhelmed when she heard about the gift, clearly because the shock she had just received from the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was too great.

Could it be another treasure like the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower?
"You'll find out when the time comes, hurry up and get some rest." Ye Chen smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, fine, I won't tell you then..." Ma Xiaotao pouted and muttered under her breath.

However, she obediently closed her eyes and quickly regained her strength.

……

Half an hour later.

Ye Chen fed Ma Xiaotao some water and pastries, which quickly restored her strength to its peak.

After absorbing the Phoenix Sunflower, Ma Xiaotao's physique seemed to have improved significantly, and she became energetic.

Ye Chen thought he would test Ma Xiaotao's strength that night to see if his stamina had improved...

"What gift? You can tell me now, right?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Ye Chen, her tone full of anticipation.

"Yes, this is actually a rare and precious natural treasure."

Ye Chen smiled and then took out another jade box.

Upon opening the jade box, a dark red, gelatinous substance was revealed.

An intense heat emanated from it; compared to the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the Blazing Glue's fire attribute was even stronger and more intense.

In just a moment, the temperature in the entire courtyard suddenly soared by twenty or thirty degrees, and the plants in the courtyard instantly began to wither and dry up.

"Such a powerful fire attribute aura... Could it be... that this is a rare and precious material with the ultimate fire attribute!" Ma Xiaotao covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.

Because she could sense that the fire element emanating from this gelatinous substance was much stronger than her own.

Her phoenix flames are almost the strongest below the ultimate fire. The only fire attribute stronger than hers is the ultimate fire!

"Yes, this is a rare and precious material with the ultimate fire attribute, called 'Blazing Glue'. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower only purifies the evil fire in Sister Tao's martial soul, while this piece of Blazing Glue can allow Sister Tao's Fire Phoenix to evolve into the Ultimate Fire Phoenix, becoming a true ultimate martial soul!"

Ye Chen nodded and said, his eyes also showing expectation.

Ma Xiaotao is already very strong. If she were to evolve into the Ultimate Flame, just how powerful would she become?

The Ultimate Flame can fight opponents of higher levels; a Soul Saint can even fight a Titled Soul Saint!

Ma Xiaotao is already a quasi-Soul Saint. Once she obtains her seventh Soul Ring Martial Soul True Body, she will truly soar to great heights, perhaps even surpassing Zhang Lexuan in strength...

"This……"

When Ma Xiaotao saw that Ye Chen had once again offered such a precious treasure, she hesitated.

Ye Chen gave her way too much; even if she sold herself, she couldn't pay it back...

"Sister Tao, hurry up and take it! Once you become stronger, you'll have to protect me!"

Ye Chen stepped forward and gently placed the hot glue in his hand into Ma Xiaotao's hand.

"Thanks……"

Ma Xiaotao suppressed the urge to cry and took the hot glue from Ye Chen's hand.

Because the blazing glue possesses the ultimate fire attribute, it is impossible for anyone without the ultimate foundation to touch it. Therefore, Ye Chen used his spiritual power to envelop it, slowly releasing its medicinal properties to facilitate Ma Xiaotao's absorption. The moment Ma Xiaotao held the blazing glue in her hands, she felt the endless heat surging from it.

She dared not delay, and quickly pressed her hand to her chest, then rapidly circulated her soul power to absorb the medicinal effects.

She discovered that, compared to the Phoenix Sunflower with its supreme Yang attribute, the medicinal power within this Blazing Glue was even more terrifying and domineering!

The heat from the burning glue rushed into my body, making me feel like I was on fire.

If she hadn't undergone the baptism of the Phoenix Sunflower, absorbing the energy within this scorching glue would have been extremely difficult, and might even have been life-threatening...

Now, her Evil Fire Phoenix has truly become a Fire Phoenix, very close to the ultimate martial soul.

Even so, it still hurt a lot when she absorbed the scorching glue... like hot iron was stuck in her blood vessels.

But Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth and persevered, guiding that surge of hot soul power to cleanse her meridians and martial soul again and again.

As Ma Xiaotao gradually absorbed the power of the incandescent glue.

Her martial spirit also involuntarily took flight, hovering above the courtyard.

"Violent——"

Seemingly overly excited, the fire phoenix let out a joyful cry.

The fiery red feathers on the opponent's body gradually dispersed under the influence of the scorching glue, and then new golden feathers grew out.

The fire-attribute aura it released became increasingly terrifying, gradually spreading outwards.

The commotion was so great that even Ye Chen's mental barrier could not conceal his aura and movements.

Soon, streaks of light flew in from afar.

The first to arrive were naturally the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

Immediately after Yan Shaozhe, and the teachers who were meditating on Poseidon Island, they were all attracted by the commotion caused by Ma Xiaotao.

"This is... Xiao Tao, what's wrong with her phoenix? How can it be so pure..."

An old man looked at Ma Xiaotao's fire phoenix and exclaimed in disbelief.

After all, they had almost all watched Ma Xiaotao grow up and liked her very much, so naturally they cared about her a lot.

"The evil fire within her phoenix has completely vanished. What happened? Such pure flames, and they're even increasing in intensity..."

"This is evolving... Could it be evolving into the ultimate fire phoenix?"

"How is this possible? Ultimate Flames are all innate; they have never been evolved later in life. Moreover... apart from the original martial soul having a second awakening, no martial soul can possibly change. What kind of opportunity did Xiao Tao obtain...?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, all astonished by Ma Xiaotao's sudden transformation, but none dared to disturb her lest they interfere.

When Elder Xuan saw this scene, he forgot to eat his chicken leg, clearly he was also extremely shocked.

"Shao Zhe, you're really lucky. You've taken both the Ultimate Ice and the Ultimate Fire as your disciples..." An elder looked at Yan Shao Zhe and said jokingly, but his tone was full of envy.

Ye Chen, the master of ultimate ice, is enough to make Yan Shaozhe famous for all time.

It seems another ultimate fire martial soul is about to appear. Yan Shaozhe is really lucky.

"Hehe, I was just lucky."

Yan Shaozhe smiled modestly, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

Both of their ultimate martial souls are his disciples; this honor is unique.

However, he saw Ye Chen in Ma Xiaotao's courtyard...

He had a premonition that Ma Xiaotao's evolution might be related to Ye Chen.
