Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 85 Pondering Unleashed Methods, Ma Xiaotao's Joy

As Lin Yao stepped out of Ma Xiaotao's room, a cool evening breeze blew by, and some thoughts involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Just now, being honest with Ma Xiaotao, I not only felt her smooth and firm skin, but also her curvaceous and alluring figure.

Furthermore, by using the ultimate ice soul power to suppress her evil fire, he clearly detected the hidden danger deep within her evil fire phoenix martial soul.

That evil energy was like a malignant tumor, rooted in the very essence of the martial spirit, and could not be eradicated by suppressing it in a short time.

In particular, Ma Xiaotao did not indulge her lustful desires like her ancestor Ma Hongjun.

Therefore, the blood fire within his body was more terrifying and pure, but the accompanying soul power was not as weak as Ma Hongjun's, and his foundation became more solid.

No wonder Ma Xiaotao was able to reach the Soul Emperor realm at such a young age while restraining her desire to cultivate.

In terms of talent, he is second only to Zhang Lexuan.

Thinking this, Lin Yao raised his hand and stroked the hidden Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Soul Seal on his wrist. A faint icy blue halo appeared on his fingertips as he secretly made plans.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion power that he now controls, although it is the ultimate ice that can temporarily freeze the spread of evil fire, is ultimately an external suppression of "ice over fire," which is only a temporary solution.

The pure fire essence of Agumon's brother in the Digital World can resonate with the Phoenix Flame.

However, it is still in its growth stage and its power is still shallow. At most, it can only help Ma Xiaotao to release the accumulated evil fire.

Allowing them temporary release and relaxation doesn't address the root cause at all.

Lin Yao already had two clear paths in mind to completely eradicate the evil energy from the Evil Phoenix Martial Soul.

One is to wait for the brother of Groudon in the Pokémon world to awaken his original form.

At that time, the pure fire power, capable of reshaping the landscape, will be able to purify the evil fire from the "source of fire".

Secondly, we hope that the Agumon brothers from the Digital World will undergo ultimate evolution into WarGreymon.

Its contained dragon flame power and iron will not only match the domineering nature of the Phoenix Martial Soul, but also eliminate evil impurities.

"Only these two levels of power can truly propel Ma Xiaotao's martial soul to complete its transformation, from an evil fire phoenix to a fire phoenix."

Lin Yao gazed at the lights of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard in the distance, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"At that time, not only will it solve her immediate problem, but it will also make her master Yan Shaozhe owe her a great favor, which will be of great benefit to my establishment in Douluo Continent."

Unfortunately, neither of these paths is viable now. The Groudon brothers in the Pokémon world are still in their baby form, and the awakening of their original forms is a long way off.

It seems that for Digimon to evolve, all they need to do is encounter danger and unleash their potential.

But in reality, that only applies to the Digimon that were chosen.

Although the Agumon brothers can evolve into Greymon, they are still at least two evolutionary barriers away from achieving their ultimate evolution, WarGreymon.

Overcoming this hurdle will not be easy.

Even with the support of other world powers, it would be difficult.

Lin Yao shook his head, suppressing his anticipation.

He has never been one to aim too high, and he understands the principle of "living within one's means."

Since the current conditions are not ideal, we should not make any promises to Ma Xiaotao to avoid being embarrassed.

Besides these two cross-world methods, Lin Yao naturally also thought of a solution based on the Douluo Continent itself.

That fire-attribute rare and precious Rooster Crest Phoenix Sunflower was the key for Ma Hongjun to purify the evil fire.

Therefore, it can be inferred that it would also have a remarkable effect on Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

However, in another world during the Douluo Continent I era, the brothers established connections with Dugu Bo and easily obtained the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

But that doesn't mean I can easily obtain it now, because some inhuman guy up there treats that place as his backyard.

With so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts inside, and these immortal herbs imprisoned within, the principle is definitely to help whoever wins.

Without some power, it would be difficult to subdue them.

"At present, I am only at the Soul Sect level. Before reaching the Soul Saint level, rashly entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is no different from being prey delivered to one's door."

Lin Yao shook his head and continued walking towards the dormitory.

As for informing the higher-ups at Shrek Academy and asking them to resolve Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem, Lin Yao didn't even consider it.

Not only will it create more trouble, but it will also likely not bring much benefit in the end.

Without power, one's safety is not guaranteed.

Having figured all this out, Lin Yao understood that he needed to help Ma Xiaotao fundamentally resolve the hidden dangers of the evil fire.

Either wait until you are strong enough to subdue the 100,000-year-old soul beasts at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and to deal with Tang San's backup plans.

Alternatively, you can wait until your Pokémon or Digimon counterparts successfully break through and gain the bonus.

Anyway, there's no rush, it's fine to wait a bit.

Lin Yao is currently confident that he can leave Ma Xiaotao with a good impression of being "reliable and sensible".

Occasionally helping her suppress her lustful desires and maintaining this delicate connection is enough.

When Lin Yao returned to dormitory 191, the room was still empty. It was clear that he had forgotten all about playing in Shrek City and hadn't come back yet.

Lin Yao didn't seem to care about this and went straight to his bed, where he sat down cross-legged.

I began to summarize the results of my joint cultivation with Ma Xiaotao.

He closed his eyes and looked inward at his own soul power meridians. In his dantian, besides the icy blue soul power belonging to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, there was also a dancing orange-red flame.

It is the source of fire for Agumon.

The flame was now several times thicker than before, with a faint golden glow around its edges.

It carries an aura that is purer and more domineering than ever before.

"I never expected that Momo's Evil Phoenix Power could make Agumon's Fire Essence grow so much."

Lin Yao was overjoyed. He slightly moved his soul power at his fingertips, causing the source of the fire to pulsate gently.

"Previously, this source of fire could only barely ignite a small flame, but now, even when used to assist soul skills, it can significantly enhance their power, which is an unexpected bonus."

In addition, when the two cultivated together, Ma Xiaotao's phoenix soul power, though mixed with evil energy, also contained a rich yin energy.

Coincidentally, this perfectly matched the Nine Yin Manual that Lin Yao was practicing, which had been completely modified to suit his own needs.

It was through this yin energy that his power became more cyclical, seemingly more gentle, and coordinated his own power.

Lin Yao circulated his soul power, slowly fusing the icy blue soul power with the orange-red flames.

Feeling the two extreme powers coexisting peacefully within his body, while each growing independently, a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and focused his attention on improving his combat power.

Now he is a Soul Master, possessing a powerful spear-type martial soul and an ultimate martial soul.

It also controls the earth-based power and the source of fire that spans across worlds.

However, these are mostly forces that have not yet matured, and their application is often flawed.

If some geniuses possess power equal to mine, they could easily defeat me.

Lin Yao was certain that, given his current level of mastery over his own power...

Only being able to unleash 80% of their full potential is a real disservice to their talent.

"Most Soul Masters in Douluo Continent rely on their Martial Soul Skills and Soul Power Levels. Some even completely abandon their own Martial Souls and become puppets of other people's Martial Souls."

Lin Yao opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

"But there are also some exceptionally talented people, such as the Dragon God Mu En, who was his contemporary."

Combining his own strengths and willpower, he created his own soul skills such as "Reign Supreme," easily defeating weaklings in combat.

Not to mention the later Sky-Supporting Douluo, who almost transformed his martial soul into a god, following the same path as the Sea God and the Angel God.

Given these examples, Lin Yao felt that he possessed the ultimate ice of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, as well as mental strength far exceeding that of his peers.

There's also the spear intent that one gradually comprehends while using the Soul-Destroying Spear.

Perhaps, one can combine all their strengths and fuse them into a unique skill of their own, thus breaking free from the constraints of the Douluo Continent world.

Without hesitation, Lin Yao summoned his Soul-Destroying Spear.

He gripped the spear, slowly stood up, and pointed the spear diagonally at the ground. He first channeled a wisp of soul power into the spear, feeling the cool touch emanating from it.

Then, Lin Yao focused his mind and calmed his spirit, his mental energy slowly wrapping around the gun barrel and tip like invisible threads.

Finally, he silently recited the spear incantation in his mind, and the spear intent he had comprehended during his cross-world training flowed into the spear through his arm.

In an instant, a faint white light appeared around the gun barrel, and the air seemed to tremble slightly as if it were being cut by the gun's intent.

"melt!"

Lin Yao let out a low shout, attempting to gather his soul power, mental power, spear intent, and primal power together at the tip of the spear.

But as soon as I tried it, I felt a strong repulsive force.

The soul power was too active, the spear intent too domineering, the mental power too vast, and the primal power too difficult to balance, making it impossible to mobilize them simultaneously.

It had only gathered halfway when it collapsed like a broken set of building blocks.

"It's not that easy after all."

Lin Yao shook his slightly numb arm, his brows furrowing slightly, but he showed no sign of discouragement.

He knew that creating one's own soul skill was going against the heavens, and that Mu En's "Reign Over the World" had taken decades to perfect.

I'm just starting out, so failure is to be expected.

He sat down cross-legged again, recalling the details of the failed fusion.

"I was too hasty just now, and when I mobilized all four forces at the same time, they repelled each other."

It would be better to start by fusing soul power and spear intent, and then add spiritual power and primal power once you've mastered it.

Adjusting his strategy, Lin Yao gripped the spear again, this time focusing only on his soul power and spear intent.

He first allowed his soul power to flow slowly through the gun barrel, nourishing it like warm water.

Then, he allowed the intent of the spear to gradually merge into his soul power, no longer rushing for quick results, but slowly blending the two together like kneading dough.

Failure, learn from the experience, try again; fail again, adjust again, integrate again —

Time passed slowly, and the light in the dormitory gradually dimmed, but Lin Yao was completely immersed in his cultivation.

Even after so much time, his figure remained unchanged, and his hands still gripped the gun firmly.

With each attempt, the fusion of soul power and spear intent became more and more harmonious, and the white light around the spear became increasingly intense.

It even faintly carried a bluish-white halo, a sign of the fusion of soul power and spear intent.

Later, Lin Yao was even able to carefully integrate his mental energy into it, using his mental energy to precisely control the flow of soul power and spear intent, preventing the two from repelling each other again.

Gradually, a powerful aura emanated from Lin Yao. This aura contained the chilling coldness of extreme ice, the domineering power of spear intent, and the condensation of spiritual energy, like an invisible storm raging through the dormitory.

Fortunately, Lin Yao was prepared and used his mental power to set up an isolation barrier around the dormitory, preventing the aura from spreading into the corridor.

Even more fortunately, his roommate Zhao Tao was still "wandering" in Shrek City and didn't come back to join the fun.

Otherwise, the sheer pressure of that aura alone would have been enough to make Zhao Tao lose his composure.

However, Lin Yao ultimately underestimated the power of this fusion force.

Even with the mental barrier in place, a faint trace of energy still managed to spread outside the dormitory building.

At this moment, under the shade of a tree at the entrance of the dormitory building, lay an old man dressed in gray cloth. He was none other than Mu En, the strongest student of Shrek Academy and the Limit Douluo.

He had his eyes closed, seemingly dozing, with a faint smile on his lips, as if enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon.

But when he sensed this faint aura, Mu En suddenly opened his eyes, a golden glint flashing in them.

His previously relaxed body instantly became upright.

"This is?!"

Moon narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of walls, landing in the direction of dormitory 191.

"So it was this kid. He actually figured out this path so early. He's a promising young man."

He possesses exceptional talent, reaching the Soul Master realm at a young age. His martial soul is outstanding, seemingly a pair of twin martial souls, one of which is an ultimate martial soul.

Now, he's even ahead of some of the outstanding students in the inner courtyard, already on the right path. It's truly surprising; what an interesting little fellow.

Mu En did not get up, nor did he disturb Lin Yao's cultivation.

She simply closed her eyes again, but spread out a wisp of her spiritual energy to help Lin Yao conceal his aura.

Meanwhile, in dormitory 191, Lin Yao was still focused on his cultivation.

He has already begun to integrate his soul power, mental power, and spear intent into the tip of the spear.

A small ball of ice-blue light condensed at the tip of the spear.

A faint gun-like aura lingered around the ball of light, as if it could erupt at any moment and shatter everything in its path.

"Just a little more, and I'll be able to integrate the primal power into it as well."

Lin Yao felt a little regretful; he was still one step away from success, but it wasn't an easy step to take.

Then, he took a deep breath and mobilized the powerful system forged through the strength of his brothers across multiple worlds.

Let this power flow slowly along the meridians to the arm, and then gradually merge into the spear.

This time, the repulsive force still existed, but it was much weaker than before.

Lin Yao carefully guided his primal power with his mental strength, slowly channeling it into his soul power and spear intent.

Finally, after yet another attempt, the primal power successfully merged into it.

In an instant, the icy blue light at the tip of the spear suddenly surged.

The surrounding air instantly condensed into tiny ice particles, and the spear intent became even more domineering, as if it could tear the sky apart.

"It's done!"

Lin Yao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze bursting with brilliant light.

Holding the spear, he felt the powerful and terrifying force emanating from it, so sharp and fierce that even the owner of this force felt an extreme sense of terror.

Lin Yao was certain that this was far beyond his own 100% power output, which was 1.0, reaching over 1.2.

"Although it is not perfect yet, we have taken the most difficult step and just need to continue on the right path."

One day, when I can perfectly fuse the four powers, I will definitely have a trump card that will terrify my enemies and allow me to crush all of them.

Thinking this, a surge of emotion flashed through Lin Yao's heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

Immediately, he put away the Soul-Destroying Spear, slowly sat down, and began to circulate his soul power to recover the mental and soul power he had just consumed.

"Xiao Yao, I didn't want to disturb you earlier, but now that you've finished your cultivation, I have to tell you that there seems to be a terrifying entity's spiritual power shrouding the area outside."

The voice of Tianmeng Bingcan echoed in my mind, its tone somewhat solemn, filled with doubt and worry.

"However, that powerful figure didn't seem to be interested in spying on you much. Instead, he used his power to isolate you and prevent your aura from being leaked out."

"If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even be able to sense it, but who am I? The only million-year-old soul beast on the continent can easily detect the power fluctuations."

As she spoke, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became proud again.

"Uh—, thank you for reminding me, Brother Tianmeng. I understand. But don't worry, it should be a strong person from the academy. It's alright."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a thought flashed through his mind.

In the dormitory, there is someone with strong mental power who can easily sense your presence; that must be the one.

Dragon God Douluo, Mu En.

"That's true."

After replying, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt that Lin Yao was right and that nothing seemed wrong, so it continued to sleep.

As for Lin Yao, he was secretly glad that he was cultivating in Shrek Academy. If he were outside, it would be troublesome if someone were watching him.

Of course, it was also fortunate that Shrek Academy at this time had Moon, the most trustworthy leader of the era, in charge.

Otherwise, Shrek Academy, with its Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, might not necessarily be safer than the outside world.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Poseidon Island, in Ma Xiaotao's residence, she had just entered the bathroom and turned on the soul-guided showerhead.

Warm water poured down and landed on her skin, but it still couldn't suppress the heat and shyness in her heart.

Just now, when Lin Yao helped her put on his men's clothes before leaving, the feeling of his fingertips touching her skin seemed to still linger on her body.

As the two embraced, suppressing their evil fire, the faint icy fragrance emanating from Lin Yao intertwined with the scorching heat of his own phoenix fire—

It's clearly etched in my mind.

Ma Xiaotao raised her hand to cover her cheeks, feeling her cheeks burning hot, and even her ears turned red.

Water streamed down her hair, soaking her men's clothes and outlining her graceful curves, which only made her more shy.

She quickly took off her clothes and let the water wash over her body.

"Seriously, what are you thinking about?!"

Ma Xiaotao looked at her flushed cheeks in the mirror, gently patted them, and tried to calm herself down.

"Lin Yao only helped me suppress the evil fire; we're just ordinary cultivation partners."

Even though she said that, Lin Yao's image kept involuntarily appearing in her mind, showing how he could maintain his composure in the face of temptation.

What an adorable junior!

Thinking about all this, Ma Xiaotao's heart raced, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

After quickly washing her body, she took out a red dress from her storage soul tool and put it on.

As she stepped out of the bathroom, she immediately saw the men's clothes draped over the bed; those were the clothes Lin Yao had just put on her.

When Ma Xiaotao saw the clothes, she recalled the scene with Yi Shi from before, and her calm heart was stirred.

She immediately went over and picked up the clothes. Her fingertips touched the cold fabric, and when she remembered how Lin Yao looked wearing these clothes, her cheeks flushed again.

"I need to wash and dry the clothes, and then return them to Lin Yao next time I see him."

Ma Xiaotao bit her lower lip, picked up the clothes, and walked into the laundry room next to the kitchen.

She turned on the tap and carefully washed the stains off her clothes, her movements gentle.

After washing herself clean, she returned to her bedroom and summoned a wisp of phoenix flame.

After being suppressed by Lin Yao's extreme ice power, the flame became much gentler and was no longer as violent as before.

Ma Xiaotao carefully wrapped her clothes in phoenix flames, controlling the temperature of the flames.

It prevents the flames from burning the clothes while drying them quickly.

As the flames flickered, the water droplets on the clothes gradually evaporated, and the fabric slowly dried.

About fifteen minutes later, the clothes were completely dried and still carried a faint warmth from the phoenix fire.

Ma Xiaotao folded the clothes neatly, without a single wrinkle.

Then, with a gentle press of the ruby, a flash of light appeared, and the folded clothes were stored in the soul tool.

After doing all this, Ma Xiaotao slowly walked to the bedside and sat down cross-legged.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that the burning pain from the evil fire in her body was gone.

The phoenix soul power in the dantian flowed smoothly and steadily, even more condensed than before.

"The evil fire—has truly been suppressed!"

Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes in surprise and circulated her soul power to sense it.

He discovered that the evil fire accumulated in his body had disappeared, and his soul power even showed a faint sign of improvement.

He could only sigh inwardly, "As expected of the ultimate ice, it can suppress the evil fire power within me so easily."

Although it couldn't be completely cured, she was extremely satisfied with the results, and her gratitude towards Lin Yao grew even stronger.

Ma Xiaotao naturally didn't know that pure ice alone couldn't achieve such an effect; it also required the help of Agumon's pure fire essence.

"Thank you so much, Lin Yao. This is the first time I've felt so relaxed since awakening the Evil Fire Phoenix—"

Ma Xiaotao silently recited the mantra, then closed her eyes and began to cultivate using her Phoenix Soul Power.

In the past, when I cultivated, I was always disturbed by evil fire, which made me restless and unable to concentrate.

Wasting her cultivation talent for this reason, and not being able to keep up with her senior sister's pace earlier, made her very unhappy.

But today, without the torment of the evil fire, Ma Xiaotao can clearly feel the flow of the phoenix's soul power.

It can even guide soul power to temper the meridians, making cultivation speed more than twice as fast as before.

Sensing all of this, Ma Xiaotao smiled from the bottom of her heart.
