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

Chapter 167 Ma Xiaotao's Reward
Time passes slowly.

Because Ma Xiaotao's Fire Phoenix is ​​already very close to the ultimate fire, its evolution speed is much faster than before.

Just half an hour later, the fire phoenix in the sky seemed to have completely transformed, its feathers turning golden-red, looking radiant and dazzling.

The fire-attribute aura it emitted has also completely transformed into the ultimate fire!

The mere escaping fumes caused the temperature within a kilometer radius to rise by tens of degrees.

However, with many powerful figures watching from the side, the intense heat did not spread far and was easily suppressed.

A moment later, Ma Xiaotao's fire phoenix slowly dissipated and returned to Ma Xiaotao's body.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

At this moment, the elders in the sky could no longer hold back and all landed in the courtyard.

A dense crowd of more than twenty people surrounded Ma Xiaotao's courtyard, making it impossible to move.

Many teachers from the academy were also drawn to watch the show, and some students from the academy also squeezed in, including Zhang Lexuan.

Ma Xiaotao's actions caused quite a stir, which is why so many people were drawn to the scene.

"Xiao Tao, what exactly happened?"

"Xiao Tao, how are you feeling?"

"Xiao Tao, how come your martial soul suddenly evolved?"

"..."

The elders immediately surrounded Ma Xiaotao and began to question her repeatedly.

Of course, they meant no harm; it was just pure curiosity and concern.

After all, the evolution of a martial soul is extremely rare, and at most, it is only due to the improvement of cultivation level or the use of some evil methods that the martial soul changes.

But someone like Ma Xiaotao, who not only completely banished the evil fire but also evolved it into the ultimate fire, is unprecedented in Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year history and is unheard of even on the continent.

They were extremely curious about how Ma Xiaotao had managed to do that.

"I don't know... I just ate a rare and precious herb that Xiao Chen gave me, and then this happened..."

Feeling uncomfortable being watched by so many people, Ma Xiaotao quickly shifted the blame onto Ye Chen.

As Ma Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Ye Chen.

"When I went out, I unexpectedly found a fire-attribute rare herb. I originally intended to give it to Ma Xiaotao to help her improve her cultivation, but I didn't expect that this herb also had the ability to evolve martial souls."

Ye Chen shrugged and gave a perfunctory reply.

"What kind of herb is that? Where did you find it?"

"This is definitely a top-grade herb! How could you just eat it like that? If we could keep it and cultivate it, who knows how much more could be produced in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the group of senior scholars and teachers immediately felt a sense of regret.

Such a precious treasure, which they had never even heard of, was simply eaten.

If we could save these to cultivate seeds or preserve the roots, they might grow into even more in the future. Eating them directly would be such a waste.

"I don't think so... I've already eaten it, and Sister Tao has also reached the ultimate level of fire, so it's worth the price." Ye Chen shrugged.

While the teachers at Shrek Academy generally have a good reputation, a few are not.

Everyone is selfish.

When some teachers' skills are stuck at a bottleneck, unable to make any progress for several years or even more than a decade, they will naturally have some crooked thoughts.

That's how many evil spirit masters come to be.

Ye Chen would definitely not reveal the matter of the immortal herb, lest he bring unnecessary trouble upon himself.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Tao's martial soul evolution is a good thing. In the future, our Shrek Academy will have another super strong person. Why are you all interrogating her like a criminal?" Yan Shaozhe couldn't stand it anymore at this point, and his tone was also a little dissatisfied.

Upon hearing this, the other teachers and senior students chuckled awkwardly and said no more.

"Yes, yes, everyone's gone, everyone's gone."

At this moment, Elder Xuan also came over, took a big bite of the chicken leg in his hand, and said with a smile, "Little Tao, this is your own opportunity. We won't ask too many questions. You should rest for a few days and get used to it. If there are no problems, I will personally take you to obtain the seventh soul ring in a while!"

Because Ma Xiaotao is the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils and also Xuanzi's student.

Xuanzi was naturally very happy to see Ma Xiaotao evolve into the ultimate fire.

Especially with Ma Xiaotao's cultivation level reaching the Soul Saint realm, Shrek Academy will definitely be able to win the championship in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

Of course, even if Ma Xiaotao doesn't reach the Soul Saint level, Shrek Academy is still invincible.

Now, it's even more secure; no team can possibly challenge Shrek's position as number one in the tournament.

"Thank you, Elder Xuan."

Ma Xiaotao stood up and quickly thanked him.

"Holy crap, Xuanzi helped Ma Xiaotao obtain a soul ring... This is insane..." Ye Chen thought to himself with worry.

However, Ma Xiaotao is already very strong. Even if Xuanzi is really careless, it is unlikely that Ma Xiaotao will be in any danger unless the ferocious beast attacks her.

"Elder Xuan, let me do it this time. After all, Xiao Tao is my disciple." At this moment, Yan Shaozhe suddenly spoke up and took over the task.

After all, Ma Xiaotao is his disciple. As her teacher, it's already embarrassing that he can't help her get rid of the flaws in her martial soul. If she still needs to rely on others to obtain a soul ring, then he, as her teacher, is too incompetent.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao's potential has now been fully realized, and as long as she doesn't perish in the future, she will definitely be able to become a Limit Douluo.

He definitely needs to improve the teacher-student relationship.

When he retires in the future, Ma Xiaotao will definitely take better care of him.

"Shao Zhe, you brat..."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan seemed to have discerned Yan Shaozhe's thoughts but didn't take it to heart.

After asking a few more questions and confirming that Ma Xiaotao was alright, the group turned and left.

Soon, only Ye Chen and Ma Xiaotao remained in the courtyard.

"Xiao Chen, I did it!"

Ma Xiaotao lunged and tackled Ye Chen to the ground.

"I'm at the Ultimate Fire level now, hehe... Waaah..." Ma Xiaotao started crying as she spoke.

"Sister Xiaotao, why are you crying? You should be happy!" Ye Chen gently patted Ma Xiaotao's back, somewhat speechless.

"Hmph, I'm just so happy..." Ma Xiaotao tilted her head slightly and wiped all her tears on Ye Chen's clothes.

The gift Ye Chen gave her was so precious that she didn't know how to repay him.

However, she seemed to have thought of something, so she leaned close to Ye Chen's ear and whispered, "Since you behaved well today, I'll agree to what you said last time..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ye Chen was a little confused this time.

He had no recollection of ever asking Ma Xiaotao for anything.

"that is……"

Ma Xiaotao blushed, finding it difficult to speak, but the thought of that incident made her anus tighten slightly...

Ye Chen: ...
