Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 88 Breaking the Evil

"Is it right here?" Ma Xiaotao turned around and glanced at her room.

"Let's go to the Sea God Pavilion," Wang Nan said. "The aura of the golden tree there can suppress your evil fire to some extent, and with elders watching over you, your safety will be guaranteed in case of any accidents."

"Okay, is there anything else I need to bring?"

Wang Nan thought about it carefully. He realized that he could only help Ma Xiaotao thanks to Tianye Fushenglong, and there was nothing else he needed to prepare. So he gently shook his head and said, "Just adjust your own state."

"Let's go over there first." Ma Xiaotao closed her door and reached out to grab Wang Nan's wrist.

Wang Nan paused slightly, but still allowed her to grab his wrist.

His martial spirit is the Panlong Staff, and for him, the most important part of the battle is his hands. Therefore, this is the first time he has been "controlled by others" like this.

Ma Xiaotao walked ahead, turning her head slightly to avoid letting Wang Nan see her expression, and the two walked out of the dormitory building like this.

"Elder Mu."

"Grandmaster."

Before long, the two arrived in front of the Sea God Pavilion.

"You two came together? That's a rare sight." Moon's expression was slightly complicated when he saw the two of them.

"Grandmaster, is Master still in seclusion?" Ma Xiaotao glanced into the Sea God Pavilion.

"Yes, if there's anything you need, just tell me."

"Elder Mu, we've come here to completely resolve the matter of Xiao Tao's martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Moon's eyes snapped open as he looked at Wang Nan. "How confident are you?"

"I've done my best."

Moon suddenly laughed. "Good, good 'doing your best'. Just let me know what you need."

Wang Nan shook his head. Although coming empty-handed made him seem very unprofessional, the most important thing actually lay in his spiritual sea.

"Elder Mu, I just need to use the aura of the Golden Tree to suppress Xiao Tao's evil fire a little."

"In that case, I'll take you to the quiet room."

Just like last time, they were in another room in the blink of an eye. However, since obtaining the left leg bone, Wang Nan had become completely accustomed to such sudden changes in his surroundings.

Mu En led Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao to a quiet room in the Sea God Pavilion. The room was simply furnished, with no decorations around it. In the center was a large white bed, and under the surrounding lights, a faint mist seemed to rise from it.

"This is the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Bed." Mu En's recliner wasn't there; instead, he stood hunched over beside the bed. "This is where Xiao Tao used to come most often when she was little. I watched her grow up. When she was young, she couldn't fully control her martial spirit, so she spent most of her time here."

"Shao Zhe and I tried all sorts of methods, but none of them worked. We could only use external force to suppress it. But the more we suppressed it, the stronger the rebound became. At its worst, it even made it impossible for her to cultivate."

"I remember that ten thousand years ago, one of the Shrek Seven Devils also had a Martial Soul of Evil Fire Phoenix. How did he solve it? Is there no record of it in the academy?" Wang Nan asked tentatively.

"There are records, but Shao Zhe and I searched the entire Douluo Continent and couldn't find anything mentioned in them." Mu En shook his head and sighed. "Perhaps this child's fate is sealed."

After a moment of silence in the room, Ma Xiaotao was the first to move, sitting down on the Eternal Ice Bed with practiced ease and beginning to meditate. Flames faintly appeared around her, but were suppressed by the Eternal Ice Bed on her body.

Wang Nan also sat on the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Bed. As soon as he sat down, a chill ran through him from below, penetrating to his very bones. He hurriedly circulated his soul power to dispel the chill within his body before summoning the Coiling Dragon Staff and grasping it in his hand.

Noticing Wang Nan sit down, Ma Xiaotao's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she didn't open her eyes in the end, simply waiting quietly.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy, carrying pale golden soul power, came into contact with Ma Xiaotao, and a violent and scorching sensation followed.

Over the past few years, Wang Nan had fought Ma Xiaotao no less than a hundred times, and he was quite familiar with this aura, which was the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body.

For Ma Xiaotao, the problem wasn't "fire," but "evil." Therefore, relying solely on ice attributes wouldn't completely solve her issues. Even the ultimate form of ice requires external aids to achieve this.

Aside from Wang Nan, perhaps only a martial soul with "purification" abilities, like the Holy Angel, could help her.

Wang Nan quickly banished other distracting thoughts from his mind. In his sea of ​​consciousness, the Heavenly Floating Dragon roared, and golden light began to envelop his entire body from between his brows. Then, the golden light spread along his soul power towards Ma Xiaotao.

"Hmph~"

Ma Xiaotao groaned. The power of the Heavenly Floating Dragon came into contact with her soul power, causing her some discomfort.

Before the Dragon Soul awakened, the ball of light in Wang Nan's spiritual sea was merely instinctively dispelling the evil energy invading his body. But now, the figure of the Heavenly Forged Floating Dragon slowly appeared beside him, constantly swimming around him, its golden light even brighter, enveloping Ma Xiaotao as well.

Time continued to pass, and every now and then, the Tianye Fusheng Dragon would slightly open its mouth, as if it were burping. At the same time, Wang Nan's spiritual sea would surge continuously, and his spiritual power would increase accordingly.

The ocean, symbolizing spiritual power, stretches to the horizon. As the waves surge, a dark shadow gradually appears around an island in the middle of the ocean. Gradually, the shadow becomes clearer, the island slowly rises, and the outline of a mountain begins to emerge. The mountain is covered with lush vegetation, and clouds and mist swirl around its waist, as if the faint sounds of heavenly music can be heard.

The flames on Ma Xiaotao's body became purer, and their color gradually brightened, slowly changing from dark red to golden red. The ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Bed beneath her could no longer suppress them, and a phantom of a phoenix rose from behind her.

Yan Shaozhe, who was meditating in the Sea God Pavilion, was awakened by this aura and rushed over to see Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao sitting on the ice bed, surrounded by a golden light shield filled with a bright aura. Mu En was standing hunched over by the bed.

"Teacher, this..."

Mu En waved his hand to interrupt Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe stopped talking and looked at the two of them together with Mu En.

The phoenix phantom behind Ma Xiaotao gradually solidified, its feathers covering its entire body like flowing flames. Its broad wings stretched out, drawing a magnificent trajectory in the air, and each tail feather shimmered with a golden-red luster.

A monstrous heatwave erupted from her body, and the ancient ice bed beneath her could not withstand the intense heat and began to slowly melt.
