Chapter 169 Removal Failure
Stopping his steps, Huo Yuhao turned to look at the white-haired old man.
It is said that Elder Yu is over a hundred years old. With his cultivation as a Soul Saint, he is nearing the end of his lifespan. Perhaps this is why Elder Yu was not described in much detail in the original work.
Even in Huo Yuhao's opinion, Elder Yu and Mu En looked older.
At that moment, Elder Yu was looking at him with a very kind gaze.
Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised that Elder Yu knew about Tang Ya's martial soul mutating into an evil martial soul. After all, even Mu En had to consult the elder's opinion on martial souls.
Huo Yuhao was puzzled as to why Elder Yu wanted to ask him about this topic. Facing this old man, whose character was unknown and whose story wasn't well-known in the original work, Huo Yuhao carefully considered his words:
"As living beings, we naturally have the instinct to draw nourishment from all things in the world. However, it seems that Teacher Xiaoya's mutated martial soul, Dark Blue Silver Grass, has amplified and strengthened this instinct. It's just unknown whether this effect is only on the martial soul or has already affected Teacher Xiaoya's mind..."
"According to Beibei, the out-of-control Tang Ya absorbed all the life force of a Soul Emperor in an instant to launch an attack in an attempt to save Beibei. This shows that Teacher Xiaoya's sanity has not been completely eroded. Hopefully, Teacher Xiaoya can maintain her normal sanity after she wakes up."
Old Yu chuckled helplessly and scolded, "You little rascal!"
He asked Huo Yuhao how he viewed evil martial souls, and he believed that Huo Yuhao could understand, hoping that Huo Yuhao could give a different perspective than the world.
As a result, Huo Yuhao only answered the question about the little girl, completely avoiding a direct answer regarding the evil martial soul.
It seems they're afraid of causing trouble by saying something?
However, Huo Yuhao's attitude was enough to pique Elder Yu's interest.
As living beings, we have an innate ability to draw nourishment from all things in the world...
In your opinion, whether someone qualifies as an evil soul master depends not on what their martial soul is, but on whether they have engaged in evil soul master activities.
That's a novel perspective.
"At Elder Song's speed, he should be back in about three days. How about we observe Xiao Tao absorbing her spirit ring together then?"
Elder Yu didn't ask Huo Yuhao any more questions. Instead, he invited Huo Yuhao to watch Ma Xiaotao absorb the soul ring.
Old Master Yu had noticed that Huo Yuhao repeatedly mentioned Ma Xiaotao's bloodline, and seemed to have unique insights into martial souls. On a whim, he wanted to see if Huo Yuhao had any unique insights into the formation of evil martial souls.
"Since I brought this up, I should naturally witness it with my own eyes."
Seeing Huo Yuhao nod in agreement, Elder Yu smiled helplessly.
If Huo Yuhao's guess is true, Shrek Academy's information on the Fire Phoenix will need to be updated, and he'll be very busy then.
When Huo Yuhao received the notification to go to the Sea God Pavilion again, he had just completed the inscription of the fifth-level soul guide core formation and officially became a quasi-fifth-level soul master.
Huo Yuhao was supposed to go and complete the rating, but Ma Xiaotao's matter was more important, so he put the rating on hold.
At this moment, all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion had actually gathered again.
Because of Ma Xiaotao's matter, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion gathered several times in just a few days.
Even Moon, who was in seclusion, was already sitting here, ready to intervene at any time to prevent any unexpected events from happening.
"Xiao Tao, start absorbing the spirit ring."
As Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, Elder Song's soul power that had imprisoned the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Lotus gradually loosened, releasing the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Lotus.
Even plant-type spirit beasts, known for their vitality, become somewhat listless when they lose their suitable living environment.
Without further hesitation, Ma Xiaotao picked up her knife and made several cuts on the defenseless fire lotus. A jet-black ten-thousand-year soul ring gradually condensed on the fire lotus.
As Ma Xiaotao began absorbing her seventh spirit ring, a dark red figure slowly coalesced behind her; it was Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit—the Evil Fire Phoenix.
With a loud phoenix cry, the dark red flames suddenly spread out, and the scorching heat wave began to spread from Ma Xiaotao as the center. The elders were all on edge and kept a close eye on Ma Xiaotao's condition to prevent the evil fire from erupting. Elder Lin even urged his soul power to protect Huo Yuhao, who had the lowest cultivation level.
As the soul ring was absorbed, the evil fire phoenix on the phoenix phantom also began to change. The flames burning on the phoenix phantom became more intense, and the dark red flames gradually became clearer as they grew.
No, to be precise, the originally dark red flames became even redder.
Looks like there's a chance?!
Everyone also noticed the change in Ma Xiaotao's martial soul; it seemed that the normal flames were suppressing the evil flames.
Only Mu En and Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly. Both of them were of the light attribute, making them more sensitive to attributes such as evil energy.
They could all clearly sense that the evil energy within Ma Xiaotao's body, though seemingly suppressed by pure flames, was actually growing, only at a rate not as rapid as that of pure phoenix flames.
It's true that the evil fire is at a disadvantage, but it's like a leech; once Ma Xiaotao's condition declines, the evil fire will regain the upper hand.
After all, the Black Phoenix is also a Fire Phoenix, and the Evil Fire is also Phoenix Fire. The Evil Fire is just a supplement that is not as good as the pure Phoenix Fire, and it cannot be worn down by Ma Xiaotao's impure Phoenix Fire.
Of course, if Ma Xiaotao's flames approach or even reach their peak, the evil fire will be completely extinguished under the suppression of the true phoenix fire.
Mu En shook his head with some regret. Huo Yuhao's guess was correct; the evil fire did indeed grow stronger with the power of the phoenix bloodline. But it was too late to realize this now. Ma Xiaotao had already absorbed five soul rings from soul beasts with phoenix bloodlines.
If it had been discovered earlier, perhaps even if Ma Xiaotao's Fire Phoenix couldn't completely eliminate the evil fire, it could have suppressed it to a level where it had no power to rebound, allowing Ma Xiaotao to fully display the Fire Phoenix's talent.
However, with this discovery, they no longer need to worry about Ma Xiaotao's subsequent cultivation.
With his ability to detect things, Huo Yuhao was naturally able to clearly perceive the state of the evil fire, but he felt somewhat frustrated.
The shared power of the Black Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix is truly troublesome. Even without the Phoenix bloodline, the Black Phoenix can still steal meat from the Fire Phoenix.
In the original work, Ma Hongjun probably didn't use pure flames to dispel the evil fire, but rather the pure fire phoenix bloodline from the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower directly overwhelmed the still weak black phoenix bloodline.
It's really strange, didn't Tang San save any seeds for the Phoenix Sunflower? Or are there other conditions for the Phoenix Sunflower to grow?
An hour later, Ma Xiaotao had finished absorbing the spirit ring and woke up.
