Chapter 25: The Evil Fire Was Suppressed?
Not long after, several figures appeared in the distance.
The leader was an old man dressed in white.
He stepped onto the void and landed in front of Ling Shuang and the others.
"Huh?" Yan Shaozhe was visibly stunned when he saw the scene before him.
He had expected Ma Xiaotao, who was known to cause trouble, to be lying unconscious on the ground, while the two freshmen wearing their freshman badges stood by, unscathed.
Unbelievable.
Yan Shaozhe knew Ma Xiaotao's strength well. Although she was unconscious due to the out-of-control evil fire, a Soul Emperor's strength shouldn't be something that two freshmen could stop.
Wait!
As he looked at Ling Shuang's face, Yan Shaozhe felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.
After a moment of recollection, memories suddenly rushed back to him.
He remembered!
Isn't this the twelve-year-old Soul Sect demon freshman Ling Shuang, the one from the information he received?
Yan Shaozhe had planned to contact him in advance when he got the information, but old Mu had stopped him.
He hadn't expected to meet him in this situation today.
Tsk tsk, with the cultivation of a Soul Sect, he subdued Xiao Tao, who is at the Soul Emperor level. This freshman is truly terrifying!
If it weren't for Mu En's prior explanation, Yan Shaozhe might have wanted to take Ling Shuang on as his disciple.
"My two student's, I apologize for scaring you. These two Soul Boosting Pills are my apology. I hope you can keep today's events a secret."
Suppressing his thoughts, Yan Shaozhe took out two green pills and handed them over.
Soul Boosting Pills?
Wang Dong's eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised by the generosity of the middle-aged man in white before them.
Ling Shuang, however, remained much calmer.
Soul Boosting Pills may be a rare treasure for ordinary soul masters, but for him, they were nothing special.
The function of Soul Boosting Pills was quite simple: they increased soul power by about 30 to 31 levels, and each soul master could only take one in their lifetime.
For Wang Dong, a Soul Boosting Pill would at least allow her to level up once, but for Ling Shuang, it had no such effect.
Ling Shuang's cultivation was already at level 49, and because his martial soul had two extreme attributes—ultimate life and ultimate destruction—his soul power was much more condensed than that of ordinary soul masters.
A Soul Boosting Pill had little effect on him.
However, Ling Shuang didn't mind and calmly placed the Soul Boosting Pill into the soul guide.
Though he didn't need it, he could always give it to someone else.
"Senior, if it's alright, we will take our leave," Ling Shuang said lightly.
Yan Shaozhe was taken aback. He hadn't expected Ling Shuang to react like this.
Most people would be at least somewhat curious when something like this happened. After all, it was no ordinary event for inner courtyard disciples to lose control.
But Ling Shuang seemed completely uninterested.
Yan Shaozhe had no idea that Ling Shuang was a reincarnated person, knowing exactly why things had happened, and thus, he wasn't curious.
"Yeah," Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Ling Shuang turned to leave with Wang Dong.
However, his footsteps suddenly paused, and he turned back, leaving a word before continuing on toward the dormitory area.
"Senior, the evil fire in the senior sister's body is quite tricky. It's better to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise, it may accumulate and endanger her life."
Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly. Before he could respond, Ma Xiaotao, who had been unconscious, suddenly stirred.
Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her beautiful eyes, propped herself up, and sat up, supporting her head with one hand. Her scarlet eyes were filled with confusion.
"Teacher, what happened? Why am I here?"
Yan Shaozhe sighed softly, "Xiao tao, the evil fire went out of control again, two freshmen saw it."
Hearing that her evil fire two freshmen saw it, Ma Xiaotao's face paled, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
She had completely lost control when the evil fire flared up, and it seemed impossible that two freshmen could stop her.
Ma Xiaotao asked nervously, "Teacher, what about the two freshmen…?"
"Don't worry, they're fine." Yan Shaozhe's reassurance made Ma Xiaotao feel a little relieved.
Thankfully, no major incident had occurred.
If innocent freshmen had lost their lives because of her uncontrolled evil fire, Ma Xiaotao would have carried that guilt forever.
"You're lucky this time. You met a demon freshman who subdued you."
"If it had been any ordinary freshman, I'm afraid they would've been buried in your phoenix flames."
"Why didn't you tell me that the evil fire couldn't be suppressed?" Yan Shaozhe scolded.
This time, it was Ling Shuang who had been there, so no one had been harmed.
What about next time?
Apart from Ling Shuang, which freshman could have matched Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Emperor?
Ma Xiaotao was stunned. "I… I didn't know it would turn out like this…"
"I thought I could control it…"
Ma Xiaotao bit her red lips, knowing that it was her own fault this time.
Yan Shaozhe sighed as he looked at his disciple. He didn't continue to blame her.
But Ma Xiaotao suddenly realized something, and her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
"Teacher, are you saying that a freshman subdued me when the evil fire went out of control?"
Ma Xiaotao, who had just processed the information from Yan Shaozhe's words, couldn't believe it.
Although she had been unconscious during the evil fire's rampage, and her combat power had been diminished, she still couldn't believe that a freshman could handle her at the Soul Emperor level!
She was a Soul Emperor!
What kind of cultivation could a freshman have? A Soul Venerable at most, right?
"Yes, a freshman," Yan Shaozhe affirmed again.
Ma Xiaotao became immediately interested. "Teacher, who is this freshman? Tell me more."
Yan Shaozhe looked at Ma Xiaotao, who seemed a little too excited, surprised by her reaction.
Noticing his gaze, Ma Xiaotao's face flushed with a light blush, and she quickly explained, "I just feel that the evil fire inside me seems to have been dissolved, so…"
The evil fire was dissolved?
Yan Shaozhe was taken aback. "But the information shows that this child doesn't have an ice attribute martial spirit."
Ma Xiaotao shook her head. "No, I can feel that it's not the suppression of ice or water attributes, but rather, there's some power that seems to have dissolved the manic factors in the evil fire."
Not ice or water attributes?
Yan Shaozhe was stunned. This was something that didn't fit his usual understanding.
He suddenly remembered the words Ling Shuang had left before leaving.
That freshman seemed to know something about Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.
After a moment, Yan Shaozhe took out a piece of information from his storage soul guide and handed it to Ma Xiaotao.
"This is the information on the freshman who subdued you."
Though Yan Shaozhe didn't understand what powers, other than ice and water attributes, could dissolve the evil fire, he couldn't ignore the possibility.
Ma Xiaotao took the information and opened it. As she read, her expression slowly shifted to one of surprise and disbelief.
"Twelve years old, level forty-nine…"
For the first time, she felt that her own talent seemed mediocre.
