Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 220 Loss of Evil Fire, Views on Shrek
A lot of things have happened in recent days, such as the conflict between Mingde Hall and the Holy Spirit Church, or the whereabouts of the so-called blood of the evil god. Although it has not been widely spread on the mainland, there are still some rumors.

The four level nine soul masters were a formidable force even in Mingde Hall, and were the real foundation. The more than ten level eight soul masters were also the foundation of Mingde Hall, but they ended up just escorting a treasure, and in the end no one came back alive.

In response to this, Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen was shaken and almost fainted in the toilet. Such a huge loss was enough to shake the foundation of Mingde Hall. In addition to fear, boundless hatred was quietly growing in Jing Hongchen's heart...

The Holy Spirit Church was also in a bad situation. The leader among the eight elders, Nether Demon Douluo, fell, and Wu Gu, who had been hiding in the dark with the most bizarre and unpredictable methods, was nowhere to be found. Even the powerful Holy Spirit Church could not withstand such losses and was seriously injured for a time.

The cultivation of evil soul masters before reaching the Soul Saint level is much faster than that of ordinary soul masters, but once they enter the Soul Saint realm, the speed of cultivation will gradually become extremely difficult, especially after entering the Titled Douluo realm, it is extremely difficult to upgrade to a higher level. It is unknown how many lives the evil soul masters have to devour and how much price they have to pay to create a Super Douluo evil soul master like Nether Demon Douluo.

Especially since Nether Demon Douluo was the fifth most powerful person in the Holy Spirit Sect besides the Supreme Sect Leader, the Chief Priest, the Sect Leader, and the Deputy Sect Leader. His death shocked the entire Holy Spirit Sect.

In comparison, the death of a Level 91 Wu Gu Douluo was enough for them to feel regretful and sad at most, but there was no need for them to have such a big reaction.

Shu Yan no longer paid attention to these things. The trajectory of this life had changed drastically. Having lost his second martial soul, the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion spirit, and the Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao was still a genius with twin martial souls, but he could no longer reach the ultimate realm. Naturally, he was not as powerful and respected as in the original novel.

However, Ma Xiaotao and the others gradually recovered. With the strong strength of the three members of the starting team, plus top talents from other colleges such as Beibei and Xu Sanshi, their performance in the competition was quite good. They defeated many strong opponents along the way and won a lot of praise.

It is worth mentioning that Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had already shown signs of getting out of control in advance.

Shu Yan happened to be in Xingluo Square that day, and witnessed with his own eyes the strong evil aura in the phoenix flames.

In fact, sometimes Shu Yan was very curious about how Ma Xiaotao could practice so fast under the interference of the evil fire. It was not until he sensed her origin when Ma Xiaotao released her soul skills that he got the answer.

It's actually a bit funny to say, this evil fire is essentially interfering with her practice while also constantly squeezing her potential. If Ma Xiaotao doesn't find a way to completely eliminate the evil fire or upgrade her martial soul to the ultimate fire level in the future, her potential will sooner or later be burned out with the surging evil fire. By then, let alone becoming a Super Douluo, it's hard to say whether she can become a Titled Douluo.

When they returned to the princess's mansion in the evening, Su Tong and Ling Luochen also talked about this topic.

Although Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao were not on good terms, they were not enemies of each other. The induction between opposing attributes was often extremely sharp, and her intuition told her that Ma Xiaotao's evil fire was about to erupt completely.

She wasn't concerned about Ma Xiaotao, she was just worried that another terrifying evil soul master would appear on the continent. After all, the guys in the Holy Spirit Church were always very sensitive to those geniuses who had the tendency to become evil soul masters. As long as they knew about Ma Xiaotao's existence, well... everything would be hard to say...

As she was talking, Su Tong immediately asked another question.

What if Shrek Academy comes to them for help in suppressing the evil fire?
As soon as Su Tong finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment.

This is worth thinking about. After all, although the opponent they are facing now can be solved by just anyone, in the end, everyone's martial spirit strength cannot be kept secret forever. Speaking of which, now the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy are in a state similar to an alliance, so this kind of thing is really very likely to happen. Shu Yan looked at the girls, chuckled helplessly, and then said:
"It's just a small favor, I'll help you, it's no big deal."

"Ultimate Ice can only suppress the evil fire, but cannot completely eliminate it. Don't forget that the evil fire is also an important part of Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix essence, and ice and fire are opposite properties. Using Ultimate Ice to regulate the evil fire is equivalent to using the powerful force of the opposite attribute to suppress her own essence. Over time, her own essence will also be damaged. In more serious cases, the quality of her martial spirit may also drop."

"Remember, extreme ice cannot give rise to extreme fire. Ice extinguishes fire, and fire melts ice. It's easy to balance the power of the two attributes. If one is strong and the other is weak, the weak one will only become weaker and weaker, not stronger."

"Using the Ultimate Ice to suppress the evil fire can only solve the immediate problem. If it happens too many times, I'm afraid she will never be able to touch the Ultimate Fire again in her life."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Ling Luochen was silent for a moment, then he spoke again:
"Forget it. We'll decide based on the circumstances. I know Ma Xiaotao. She's as persistent as I am. She's not a bad person, but she's a bit reckless..."

"She is a disciple of Ming Feng Douluo. Like Sister Le Xuan, she is a designated member of the Sea God Pavilion. Now that Sister Le Xuan has left Shrek Academy, she should be the successor of the Sea God Pavilion."

Seeing that the topic of discussion gradually turned to Shrek Academy, Shu Yan suddenly asked:
"What do you think of Shrek Academy?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally after a long while they spoke:
"If they were just an academy, their status would be too high, so high that it would seem as if the entire continent would be influenced by them and unable to leave them."

"It's not so bad in this era, but once the continent is unified or completely stabilized, their existence will gradually be intolerable to the rulers. They are just an academy, but they put themselves in a wrong position."

Ling Luochen hesitated for a moment, then spoke:
"At first, Shrek Academy gave me the feeling that it was not an academy, but an independent country. They have their own laws, their own rules, a terrifyingly large network of relationships, and are not subject to any checks and balances from any country. I even feel that if Shrek Academy can continue to develop smoothly, they will gradually cease to be a force and become a real country, gradually deviating from the original intention of a soul master academy."

Su Tong thought for a moment and said:
"To me, Shrek Academy is not just a college, but more like a religion."

"I have been watching the games these days. The players from Shrek Academy have all placed the honor of the academy above their own lives. They keep talking about the so-called glory."

There was another silence, and this time it was the usually taciturn Luo Qinghan who spoke:
"We have never had a favorable impression of Shrek Academy, but we cannot deny that Shrek Academy has indeed played a pivotal role in suppressing the evil soul masters on the continent. However, neither the style of Shrek Academy nor the changes caused by them are good for us. Just like Dugu Yan, her ancestors died in pain because of the selfishness of Shrek ancestors. We all dislike Shrek Academy. The so-called hatred may have disappeared, but... this is the reality."

Shu Yan took a sip of juice and tapped the tabletop regularly with his fingers. After a moment, he spoke softly:

"Xingluo will definitely unify the continent. By then, we will have the power and possibility to change everything. Perhaps the imperial system will be gradually abandoned as the times change, but the people with the most status and voice in the continent will always be the strong. But before that, becoming a god is just the beginning. Let me tell you what I know, so that I can be prepared in advance..."
