Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 170: Martial Spirit and Soul Beast

"Teacher! I feel much more relaxed!"

Before anyone had time to ask, Ma Xiaotao's excited voice rang out first.

There was no way. After the fierce competition in the Soul Master Contest, Ma Xiaotao didn't have time to use the Wanzai Hanyu Bed for long before it was occupied by Tang Ya. Ma Xiaotao had been suppressing her for a long time.

In a sense, the evil fire is like a toon, which has been irritating Ma Xiaotao's nerves, but Ma Xiaotao has been suppressing it tightly and is unwilling to vent it. If it were someone else, he would have been driven crazy by the evil fire long ago.

No, Ma Xiaotao had also been driven crazy several times, otherwise where would Huo Yuhao have gotten the Soul-Upgrading Pills...

Returning to the topic, Ma Xiaotao excitedly released her martial spirit as soon as she finished speaking, looking at the fiery red flames around her body with great joy.

It was the first time that Ma Xiaotao saw her flame so pure.

However, before Ma Xiaotao could be happy for long, wisps of black and gray light emerged among the fiery red, which was surprisingly annoying.

This wisp of black and gray light directly poured cold water on the excited Ma Xiaotao. Looking at this wisp of black and gray flame, Ma Xiaotao's expression froze.

Ma Xiaotao turned her head to look at her teacher and said a little aggrievedly:

"Teacher, the evil fire still cannot be removed?"

The stimulation that the evil fire had brought to Ma Xiaotao suddenly subsided. Ma Xiaotao thought that she had completely gotten rid of the evil fire, but she didn't expect that the evil fire did not subside, but was only temporarily suppressed.

Even Ma Xiaotao couldn't remember what it felt like to be normal. She just realized that she didn't need to distract herself to suppress the evil fire, so she thought the evil fire had subsided.

Seeing his disciple's tearful face, Yan Shaozhe comforted him repeatedly: "Xiao Tao, don't be sad. At least you can relax in your cultivation in the future. You don't have to suppress the evil fire all the time. Moreover, we have found the correct way to suppress the evil fire. One day you will be able to get rid of it completely."

"It shouldn't be."

Looking at the flames on Ma Xiaotao's body, Huo Yuhao was a little confused.

Having just carefully reviewed the introduction of Fire Lotus from Elder Yu, Huo Yuhao had gained some confidence in Ma Xiaotao's ability to suppress the evil fire, but he did not expect that the effect would be worse than he had imagined.

According to the information, the growth of Fire Lotus has certain temperature requirements. According to Huo Yuhao’s understanding, Fire Lotus has certain requirements on the activity level of the surrounding fire elements.

Since this thousand-year-old fire lotus can grow next to magma, it should have the ability, or even a soul skill, to turn the violent fire element into a gentle one.

However, this did not manifest itself on Ma Xiaotao. After absorbing the soul ring, the flame on Ma Xiaotao's body did not become restrained, but became even more vigorous.

"What shouldn't be done?"

Elder Yu, who was standing by, noticed Huo Yuhao muttering quietly, and all the elders focused their attention on Huo Yuhao because of Elder Yu's voice.

Huo Yuhao whispered, “I’m just wondering why some of the characteristics that the Fire Lotus should have are not present in Senior Sister’s martial spirit.”

"Ok?"

Now all the elders are no longer calm.

"You mean that the absorbed spirit rings will have some of the characteristics of the corresponding spirit beasts appearing on the martial spirit?"

Huo Yuhao nodded as a matter of course: "Yes." Yu Lao beside him asked: "Where did you read this? How come we have never heard of it?"

"what?"

Huo Yuhao was also stunned. Isn’t this common sense in Douluo Continent?
Huo Yuhao didn’t know how to explain it for a moment. Thinking of the scene he had just seen when he traveled through time, he sent the scene of Tang Ya absorbing the soul ring to all the elders through mental sharing.

The elders were originally wondering why Huo Yuhao suddenly established a mental connection with them, until they saw the shared image clearly.

Because the scene was observed through spiritual detection, the elders clearly saw the scale patterns emerging from the blue silver grass when Tang Ya absorbed the third soul ring.

From the perspective of spiritual detection, the scale pattern is indeed tougher than the blue silver grass inside, just like a protective shell formed by the plant...

This……

The elders were silent.

It seems that it is just as Huo Yuhao said, some of the characteristics of the soul beast corresponding to the absorbed soul ring will indeed appear on the absorber's martial soul.

Why didn't they notice this before?

The elders looked at each other, and Elder Song suddenly said, "After I absorbed the ninth soul ring, even without using soul skills, the size of my martial soul shrank slightly, the color became darker than before absorption, and the defense became stronger. At that time, I thought it was just that my martial soul was more condensed..."

Old Song, whose martial soul is the Green Shadow Eagle, a top-level speed-type martial soul, also has a pair of sharp claws that give him excellent attack capabilities.

Its ninth soul ring comes from a rare soul beast that is on the verge of extinction, the Emerald Hummingbird, which is known to be the bird with the strongest defense. Its petite body also gives it top-level speed.

In a word, it is hard and difficult to catch.

The reason why the Jade Hummingbird became extinct is that its body cannot store too much energy and needs to replenish energy frequently. Even relying on soul power alone is not enough. It needs to obtain energy from the surrounding plant-type soul beasts, and requires a high number of plant-type soul beasts in its growth environment.

Old Song was also lucky enough to encounter such a hummingbird in the Star Dou Great Forest, a 90,000-year-old one. Old Song chased it for ten days and ten nights, but eventually the emerald hummingbird died due to exhaustion and was hunted to death by Old Song.

Qian Duoduo also said: "After I absorbed an earth dragon once, some dragon patterns appeared on the Black Dragon Shield. At that time, I thought that my martial soul had partially evolved because of the earth dragon's bloodline. Now that I think about it, the dragon patterns are actually a bit like the scales of that earth dragon..."

But Mr. Zhuang remained silent.

As the owner of the Tree of Life martial soul, he could not remember any changes in his martial soul.

Elder Lin... let’s not talk about it. Huo Yuhao didn’t even know what the other party’s martial soul was. But looking at her expression, it should be a top-level martial soul that would not change easily.

Huo Yuhao came to his senses at this point. “That is to say, because the martial spirits of the elders present are too powerful, they have rarely or even never experienced the martial spirits taking on the characteristics of corresponding soul beasts after absorbing soul rings. Some even thought that their bloodlines were replenished, so their martial spirits evolved on their own?”

This……

It seems that there is such a possibility. For example, the scales of the mandragora snake are very hard, but it depends on who you compare it with. If the Green Spirit Snake King absorbs the martial spirit of the mandragora snake, does it mean that the scales of the Green Phosphorus Snake King will also turn into the style of the mandragora snake?
What a joke, is a little mandrake snake worthy of this?

Meanwhile, Yu Lao didn't want to say anything anymore. He took out a notebook and quickly recorded several instances that had just occurred. He planned to find a few people with mediocre martial spirits to verify them after he was done with this.
