Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 55 Suppressing the Evil Fire

Feeling the heat emanating from Ma Xiaotao, Ji Lin couldn't control himself and quickly released his Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul. Instantly, a strong chill emanated from his body, and Ma Xiaotao's body, which was burning with evil fire, stiffened. She let out a comfortable groan and collapsed into Ji Lin's arms.

Since the outbreak of the evil fire, Ma Xiaotao has been tormented by it. She hasn't felt this comfortable and relaxed feeling for many years.

Ma Xiaotao didn't expect the Extreme Ice to be so effective. Just releasing the cold air attached to her martial soul made her feel so comfortable that she was completely weak and almost fainted.

Ji Lin was also jolted a little more awake by the chill. Looking at Ma Xiaotao, who was limp and had dazed eyes in his arms, he swallowed hard and quickly channeled his soul power into Ma Xiaotao's body.

Soon, the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body was suppressed, and Ma Xiaotao, who had regained some clarity, also injected her soul power into Ji Lin's body.

Ji Lin quickly felt a scorching soul power enter his body. His own ice-attribute soul power spontaneously rushed up and enveloped Ma Xiaotao's soul power, further dissolving and suppressing the evil fire in the soul power. Under this alternation of hot and cold, Ji Lin's body was slowly strengthened.

Although he was the ultimate ice, his soul power level was much lower than Ma Xiaotao's. In the clash between the two soul powers, Ji Lin's cultivation and physical strength slowly improved.

Time passed second by second. Ji Lin's soul power was greatly depleted. Ma Xiaotao's soul power entered Ji Lin's body, but it was quickly suppressed and expelled by Ji Lin's soul power. In this process of entering and exiting, the evil and hot energy in Ma Xiaotao's soul power was immediately suppressed.

This naturally made her feel extremely comfortable, thus creating a situation where she was constantly being crushed and then constantly being ejected.

Ma Xiaotao felt comfortable, and Ji Lin also benefited from the enhancement and training provided by Ma Xiaotao's evil fire soul power. In addition, holding Ma Xiaotao's soft body and feeling its warmth and elasticity, he also felt comfortable.

This is a win-win situation! Ji Lin won twice.

The only drawback is that it consumes too much soul power, and with his cultivation level, he can't sustain it for long.

Time gradually passed amidst the alternation of cold and heat.

"Ugh—" Ma Xiaotao let out a long breath, her starry eyes slightly open. Since becoming a Soul Master of the Evil Fire Phoenix, she had never felt so comfortable. From the very first day of her cultivation, she had suffered greatly from the torment of the evil fire. Many times she wanted to give up, or, as Yan Shaozhe had suggested, find another way to release the pent-up emotions.

But over the years, she ultimately endured it. In terms of mental fortitude, she was no less than Ji Lin, who had experienced the extreme pain of fusing with the Snow Emperor's soul bone.

Having held Ji Lin for so long today, the soul power within her body had been completely filtered through Ji Lin's body, suppressing all the evil fire deep within her bloodline. This meant that it wouldn't affect her for at least a long time. This also meant that she could go all out in both cultivation and combat.

This would be a normal situation for other Soul Masters, but for Ma Xiaotao, it could only be described as a luxury.

As she climbed out of Ji Lin's arms, Ma Xiaotao looked at him with tenderness. Without Ji Lin, she might never have been able to experience such a relaxed and comfortable feeling.

Although Ji Lin gave her a treat, Ma Xiaotao didn't care and took it as payment for Ji Lin's help in suppressing her evil fire.

Although she was indeed a little shy.

Ji Lin also stood up at this moment, but his soul power was too exhausted and his steps were a little unsteady. He went outside the door and looked at the sky.

Ji Lin looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was soaking wet and had red hair stuck to her forehead, and said, "Sister Xiaotao, it's getting late, I should go back to my dorm."

Seeing Ji Lin's weak appearance, Ma Xiaotao said, "Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes and then I'll take you home."

Without waiting for Ji Lin's reply, she turned and went into the bathroom, rinsed off, changed her clothes, and came out in just a few minutes.

After changing and washing up, Ma Xiaotao brought Ji Lin back to the dormitory. Huo Yuhao was cultivating inside when suddenly the door opened, and Ma Xiaotao helped Ji Lin in.

Huo Yuhao quickly jumped off the bed and asked, "Senior, what's wrong with Ji Lin?"

Ma Xiaotao helped Ji Lin to sit down on his own bed before replying, "It's nothing, he just used up too much soul power and is a little weak. He'll be fine after a night's rest."

Ji Lin nodded, indicating to Huo Yuhao that he didn't need to worry and that he was fine.

Seeing that Ji Lin was really alright, Huo Yuhao was relieved.

Ma Xiaotao didn't stay long, after all, it was a boys' dormitory, and Huo Yuhao was also there, so it wasn't convenient for her to talk to Ji Lin too much.

After Ma Xiaotao left, Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Lin with admiration, somewhat envious of Ji Lin's popularity with women. He could accept Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er in his class, as well as the other female classmates. He had met one of the senior students from the inner academy before, and she seemed very close to Ji Lin. Now, there was another senior student, Ma Xiaotao.

However, Huo Yuhao was not jealous. His goal was not to fall in love. His goal was to seek justice for his mother. Focusing on cultivation and learning how to make soul tools was what he should do. Women would only affect his revenge.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Wang Qiu'er and I met up, had breakfast together, and then went to the teaching building. As soon as we entered the classroom, we felt a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere.

After Zhou Yi's grouping yesterday, today the trainees are all sitting in groups of three, whispering to each other.

Xiao Xiao arrived earlier than them and was already waiting there. When she saw Ji Lin and Huo Yuhao come in, she quickly waved to them.

Ji Lin and Huo Yuhao walked over, and Xiao Xiao said, "The assessment will officially begin this afternoon, let's discuss some tactics."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "There's no need to study tactics. I heard that the academy will select core disciples from among them for this assessment. I'll be there to oversee things. Xiao Xiao, you and Yu Hao should do your best to perform and try to be selected as core disciples."

Xiao Xiao said with some worry, "But I heard that each class has some exceptionally talented students who have formed elite teams, all aiming for the championship. They are not easy to deal with."

Ji Lin smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Xiao. I am a Soul Master, you have twin martial souls, and Yu Hao is a rare mental type. His soul skill, Mental Interference, is also very useful. We won't lose."

Xiao Xiao relaxed a bit and said, "Alright then, let's get to know each other's martial souls and soul skills first, so we can cooperate better later."

Although they had been classmates for three months, they studied together but cultivated separately, and they didn't even know what other people's martial souls were.

Sorry, readers, Chapter 54 is still under review. The author is currently dealing with the reviewers, so I can only release Chapter 55 for now.
