Chapter 166 Evil Fire Phoenix
Since Huo Yuhao hadn't revealed many of his abilities, Fan Yu and the others didn't want to increase the difficulty of the actual combat, since neither of them were proper combat Soul Masters.
The first practical match ended so hastily, after all, the two of them still have obvious problems. Based on their performance in this practical match, Fan Yu specially formulated a relevant training plan for the two of them.
This was Huo Yuhao's first serious training in basic combat skills. His powerful mental strength allowed him to quickly master the basics and gradually integrate the ancient Chinese martial arts techniques he had learned in his previous life into actual combat.
Especially with the aid of mental detection, the precise strikes against the body's weaknesses left Fan Yu speechless.
Imagine, when your soul power flows to the critical path, Huo Yuhao strikes that meridian.
That taste... tsk!
With so much to learn, assessments are inevitable. Every week, Huo Yuhao not only learns new material but also has to be assessed on what he has learned in the past.
In other words, a Soul Master's various qualities far exceed those of a normal person; otherwise, Huo Yuhao, as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in his previous life, would have been completely unable to withstand this heavy pressure.
Time passed quickly in this busy and fulfilling life, but before I knew it, a year had gone by.
During this year, Huo Yuhao's abilities in all aspects also improved by leaps and bounds.
Over the course of a year, Huo Yuhao focused on self-improvement and gradually reduced his social interactions. Even with Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao only saw her once during that year, on the day Bei Bei woke up.
After three months of recuperation, Beibei finally emerged from the Sea God Pavilion, but the once spirited Beibei had become much more composed.
The pressure from the peerless powerhouse and Tang Ya's downfall ultimately dulled Bei Bei's sharpness.
According to Wang Dong, Bei Bei's diligence in cultivation is comparable to that of Huo Yuhao, and the simulated training ground and gym are places where Bei Bei frequently appears.
After a year, Huo Yuhao gradually absorbed the essence of the Silver Beast's soul ring, officially raising his cultivation level to level thirty-eight.
Even without the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao was still slightly faster than Huo Gua in terms of Soul Power cultivation speed...
At the same time, on the same day that Huo Yuhao broke through, Ma Xiaotao's soul power also officially broke through to level seventy.
This should have been a cause for celebration, but Tang Ya still occupies the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Bed. Without its assistance, Ma Xiaotao might encounter some unexpected problems when absorbing her seventh soul ring.
As for why, even after a year, the power that Mu Enlian had absorbed through the methods of an evil soul master had not been completely cleansed from Tang Ya's body?
It was definitely not the reason why Moon focused his attention on eradicating the ferocity in the soul.
Just as Yan Shaozhe and his group were worrying about Ma Xiaotao's situation, Huo Yuhao suggested:
"Isn't a martial soul supposed to change to some extent after absorbing a spirit ring? Why not consider letting Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao absorb a spirit ring that might purify her flames?"
Everyone stared at Huo Yuhao as if he were an idiot. It was Yan Shaozhe who spoke up, asking, "How do you think the flames can be purified?"
Yan Shaozhe's words completely stunned Huo Yuhao.
From the perspective of past lives, flames are simply a violent reaction produced by matter.
In this world, soul power exists, but Huo Yuhao still hasn't been able to understand what the so-called Martial Soul Fire or Soul Power Fire is.
"Ma Xiaotao's second soul skill—Phoenix Rebirth—is capable of purifying flames, but the evil fire is also purified along with the phoenix flames..."
"The evil fire of the Evil Phoenix ultimately comes from its bloodline. Ma Hongjun, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, also relied on a magical herb called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to achieve..."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao meant well, Yan Shaozhe still spoke up and explained to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was also recalling in his mind the process of the two Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Souls removing the evil fire.
Ma Hongjun consumed the Phoenix Sunflower to purify his evil fire and simultaneously refine his phoenix bloodline.
Ma Xiaotao consumed the essence of the Fiery Apricot Delicate Essence—the Blazing Glue—to elevate herself to the ultimate level of fire, ultimately freeing herself from the troubles of the evil fire.
There is no detailed description of the specific process by which Ma Hongjun removed the evil fire; Huo Yuhao can only speculate based on the original work regarding how Ma Xiaotao removed the evil fire.
The ultimate fire should be a threshold for completely evaporating evil fire. Although the first part of Douluo Continent did not have the concept of ultimate attributes, Ma Hongjun did not have extraordinary combat power in the Soul Master Competition, so he should not have touched the threshold of the ultimate fire.
How come Ma Hongjun later consumed the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, which caused his martial soul to evolve again, transforming it into a Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix? If he had already mastered the ultimate fire before, there would have been no need for this, right?
In other words, eliminating pathogenic heat does not necessarily require reaching an extreme level of heat; other reasons can also be effective.
Is Ma Hongjun's solution the correct one?
The Phoenix Sunflower not only enhances flames, but also purifies the phoenix bloodline.
By the way, the original novel describes Ma Xiaotao's martial soul mutation as the dark side of the Fire Phoenix—the Black Phoenix.
In other words, the Black Phoenix is another form of the Fire Phoenix, and the Evil Fire Phoenix is very likely a Fire Phoenix with the Black Phoenix's bloodline mixed in.
This is the truth about the Evil Phoenix Martial Soul!
This is why the purifying power from Electrolux could only temporarily restore Ma Xiaotao's consciousness after she turned evil, but could not directly remove the evil fire.
Because the Black Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix are two sides of the same coin.
Having considered this, Huo Yuhao cautiously probed, "Is it possible that Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao's problem isn't with the flames, but with her bloodline?"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still not giving up, Yan Shaozhe sighed and explained:
"We have basically considered your guesses, but there are very few things related to the phoenix, let alone limited to the fire phoenix. Even we have searched extensively for Ma Xiaotao, but we have not found any relevant clues despite the power network of the number one academy on the mainland."
Huo Yuhao looked resentful, seemingly annoyed that he hadn't been able to offer any useful advice.
Huo Yuhao didn't suddenly become concerned about Ma Xiaotao; it's just that he cares so much about a teammate he's only spent a short time with. Doesn't that make him seem even more loyal and devoted?
If Tang San saw this, he would be even more convinced that he could be bound to Wang Dong, which would give him more room to maneuver.
After a long pause, Huo Yuhao spoke again, "Are all of Ma Xiaotao's spirit rings from avian spirit beasts?"
