Chapter 27: Candidate for Absorbing the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul
"This is indeed a problem. How about letting Ma Xiaotao absorb the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul?"
"Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul has been unable to successfully evolve into the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul due to the evil fire inside her."
"If Ma Xiaotao absorbs this Ultimate Fire, it is highly likely to help her eliminate the evil fire within her, allowing her Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul to evolve into the true Ultimate Fire Martial Soul."
Yan Shaozhe spoke his thoughts aloud at this moment.
As Ma Xiaotao's teacher, he understood her situation best and had always hoped to find a way to help her resolve the evil fire inside her.
Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Excluding the risks associated with Huo Yuhao's martial soul fusion, Ma Xiaotao's current predicament indeed made her the best candidate to absorb the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul.
"Do you have any other candidates?"
Seeing no objections, Elder Mu asked again.
He hoped to hear more diverse opinions, as this was a major decision concerning the future of the academy.
After a moment, the entire Sea God Pavilion fell silent, with no one offering new candidates.
Seeing this, Elder Mu sighed softly.
He knew that within Shrek Academy, the people who had top-tier talent and were suitable for absorbing this Ultimate Fire Martial Soul were likely limited to Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Ma Xiaotao, and a few others.
Among these candidates, after careful consideration, Ma Xiaotao was indeed the most suitable.
"Since the candidate has been decided, let's proceed with a vote. Those in favor of letting Ma Xiaotao absorb this Ultimate Fire Martial Soul, please raise your hand."
Elder Mu's voice broke the silence in the Sea God Pavilion.
After a brief discussion, everyone raised both their hands to show their approval for Ma Xiaotao absorbing the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul.
"Since that is the case, the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul will be given to Ma Xiaotao to absorb."
"Shao Zhe, tell Ma Xiaotao about this and prepare her. Once she is ready, I will personally attach this Ultimate Fire Martial Soul to her."
After thinking for a moment, Elder Mu made the arrangement.
He knew that the process of absorbing a martial soul was fraught with danger, and only by doing it himself could he ensure the greatest safety for Ma Xiaotao.
"Alright, Teacher."
Yan Shaozhe nodded quickly after hearing the news.
He was both happy for Ma Xiaotao and somewhat worried.
He was happy because Ma Xiaotao finally had the chance to solve the long-standing problem of the evil fire and enhance her strength.
However, he was concerned because the process of absorbing the martial soul was full of unknowns, and if anything went wrong, the consequences could be unimaginable.
After the Sea God Pavilion meeting concluded, Yan Shaozhe hurriedly left the academy and went to the inner courtyard of Sea God Island to find Ma Xiaotao.
...
Sea God Island, Inner Courtyard.
In a quiet room, two figures stood: Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao.
Yan Shaozhe wore a mysterious smile, slowly speaking and explaining everything about the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul to Ma Xiaotao.
When Ma Xiaotao heard this unbelievable news, her eyes widened, and her face was full of shock.
"Teacher, is this true? Someone on the continent actually auctioned the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul, and the Sea God Pavilion has decided to let me absorb it?"
Her voice trembled slightly, and the end of her words carried a hint of uncertainty, her eyes filled with shock and doubt.
This sudden news struck her like a thunderbolt in her heart.
Ma Xiaotao could hardly believe that such luck had fallen upon her.
Although she knew little about the Star Auction Pavilion, the Sea God Pavilion was always rigorous, and a martial soul that had been approved through a Sea God Pavilion meeting was undoubtedly extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao's heart surged with uncontrollable joy.
For years, the evil fire within her had been like a bone-deep pestilence, tormenting her. She had spent countless days and nights struggling to suppress the evil fire while desperately wishing for her Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul to evolve into the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul.
Now, the opportunity was right before her.
Yan Shaozhe's expression grew serious, and his gaze fixed firmly on Ma Xiaotao as he slowly said,
"Are you willing to absorb this Ultimate Fire Martial Soul? It may very well help you expel the evil fire in your body and achieve martial soul evolution."
"If successful, you will possess twin martial souls, both of which will be Ultimate Fire Martial Souls."
His voice was deep and powerful, each word seeming to strike in Ma Xiaotao's heart.
"Teacher, I am willing to absorb it!"
Without hesitation, Ma Xiaotao answered decisively.
This opportunity to solve the long-standing problem and greatly enhance her strength—how could she miss it?
Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly and his tone softened, "Alright, when will you be ready? Elder Mu will personally attach the martial soul to you."
Ma Xiaotao thought for a moment before responding seriously, "Tomorrow, I just went through a battle and need to rest and restore my soul power tonight."
"Alright, prepare well tonight. With Elder Mu personally taking action, you can rest assured."
Yan Shaozhe reassured her before turning around and leaving the room to report back to Elder Mu.
...
Soon, a night passed, and the next day arrived.
The morning sunlight gently bathed the plaza of the Sea God Island Inner Courtyard, casting a golden glow over this already mysterious place.
On the plaza, a group of people had already gathered.
Today was a critical moment for Shrek Academy, as it concerned Ma Xiaotao's fusion with the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul.
This not only impacted Ma Xiaotao's personal fate but could also have a far-reaching effect on the future of the entire academy.
As the person involved, Ma Xiaotao quietly stood in the center of the plaza, wearing a red dress that fluttered gently in the breeze, like a rose blooming in raging fire.
Around her, her soul power surged like a hidden current, and the air itself seemed to carry a powerful and dangerous aura.
"Xiaotao, are you ready?"
Standing in front of Ma Xiaotao, Elder Mu En's eyes revealed a hint of concern and seriousness.
At the same time, many members of the Sea God Pavilion tightly surrounded them. Their eyes were sharp as hawks, constantly on alert for any potential emergencies.
Everyone knew that what was about to happen could not afford even the slightest mistake.
"Elder Mu, I'm ready."
Ma Xiaotao nodded solemnly, her eyes shining with unwavering determination.
She slowly closed her eyes, as if to isolate herself from any external distractions, fully concentrating on the upcoming martial soul fusion.
"Good!"
Upon hearing her answer, Elder Mu En nodded slightly, a subtle hint of reassurance on his face.
He raised his right hand, and with a gentle wave, a crystal ball enveloped in red light appeared in his palm.
The crystal ball emitted a soft and mysterious glow, as if containing endless energy.
