Chapter 93 Moon's Guidance

The next morning.

Ma Xiaotao wore a fiery red outfit that accentuated her tall and slender figure, and her long, dark hair was simply tied back with a red ribbon.

His usually sharp features were softened today by a hint of anticipation.

All these changes were naturally due to Lin Yao, who was following him.

However, Ma Xiaotao, who was involved in the situation, seemed unaware of this.

I just felt much happier spending time with this junior from junior school.

"Xiao Yao, I've already made arrangements with the inner courtyard. I'll take you to Seagod Island today to complete the formalities."

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao smiled and replied, "Thank you for your trouble, senior."

"It's nothing."

Seeing the gentle smile on Lin Yao's face, Ma Xiaotao smiled and nodded in response.

Then, the two walked side by side on the path to the inner courtyard, the bluestone path under their feet glistening with the morning dew.

Ma Xiaotao glanced at Lin Yao beside her and saw that he was tall and steady, without the awkwardness of a freshman facing an inner court senior.

Instead, he exuded a composure beyond his years, which made me even more satisfied.

With such a temperament, coupled with outstanding appearance and exceptional talent, she possesses the ultimate ice martial soul.

Not to mention the students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department throughout history, even among the students from the Inner Court, they are the best of the best.

Thinking of how Lin Yao's ultimate ice would help her, Ma Xiaotao knew that if they could complement each other in their cultivation, they would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Xiaotao cleared her throat, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her tone tinged with a hint of probing: "Xiao Yao, as you know, although my Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is strong, it has the hidden danger of backlash from the evil fire. In recent years, in order to suppress the evil fire, my cultivation progress has slowed down considerably."

At this point, she secretly glanced at Lin Yao, and seeing that he was listening attentively, she continued.

"It was thanks to your powerful Extreme Ice Martial Soul that things have been much easier lately, but I feel that as I continue to cultivate, the suppressed evil fire seems to be returning."

"I wonder if you can help me suppress the evil fire next."

As soon as she finished speaking, thinking of the ambiguous scenes during their cultivation, Ma Xiaotao's heart beat faster for no reason. At the same time, she felt that she had gone too far and added something else.

"Of course, doing this won't waste your time; on the contrary, it will help you hone your soul power. And whatever reward you want, I can provide it to you. What do you think, Xiao Yao?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao stopped and looked at Ma Xiaotao.

In the morning light, her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, her chin, which she usually held high, was slightly lowered, and her eyes held a mixture of anticipation and unease.

This was just a small favor for me.

Moreover, it can also make one's soul power purer and more effective, and it can also help one build good relationships.

Why not do it.

"it is good."

Lin Yao's voice was gentle.

"This is something that benefits both of us, so I naturally have no intention of refusing. As for any compensation, there's no need to mention it, Senior Xiaotao; it's too formal."

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, Ma Xiaotao smiled, but a strange emotion flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yao's face.

"Xiao Yao, thank you. Also, you don't need to call me Senior Xiao Tao. Just call me Sister Xiao Tao."

"Okay, Sister Tao."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the front of an island.

A pale blue light curtain enveloped the area ahead, shrouded in mist, through which one could vaguely see well-arranged pavilions and ancient trees.

This is the core of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, Seagod Island.

"Xiao Yao, this is Poseidon Island."

Ma Xiaotao said softly, then reached out and took Lin Yao's arm, leading him inside.

"Go in, I'll take you to see the senior sister. She's already prepared the necessary procedures for you; you only need to see her once."

Lin Yao was pulled by Ma Xiaotao as they stepped onto Poseidon Island.

The moment I stepped in, I felt a strong surge of soul power rushing towards me.

As expected of the core of Shrek Academy.

When Lin Yao truly entered the Sea God Island, he sensed that this island, surrounded by water, had been nurtured for many years, and its soul power was terrifyingly strong.

-

The two walked along the winding stone path and soon arrived at an elegant pavilion.

Immediately, a woman in a light purple dress came into their view.

This woman had gentle features and a quiet demeanor; she was none other than Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of the Inner Court.

"Xiao Tao, you've arrived. This must be junior Lin Yao. Welcome to the inner academy."

When Zhang Lexuan saw Ma Xiaotao, a gentle smile appeared in her eyes. After confirming Lin Yao's identity, she greeted him.

Then, she took two steps forward and handed a black storage soul tool to Lin Yao.

"Junior Brother Lin, this is what we've prepared for you. It includes your inner academy uniform and the corresponding cultivation pills, which are standard equipment for new inner academy students."

As for where you'll be staying, what are your thoughts? Since there are relatively few inner court disciples, and a correspondingly large number of villa dormitories, you can choose freely.

Just as Lin Yao was about to take the soul tool, he heard Zhang Lexuan's words and was about to say something.

Ma Xiaotao stepped forward and spoke first.

"Senior Sister, I've already arranged accommodation for Lin Yao. It's right next to my villa, close by, and it'll be convenient for me to take care of Xiao Yao later."

"You take care of others—"

Zhang Lexuan was taken aback by what she heard, then looked at Ma Xiaotao and Lin Yao, her gaze sweeping over them, making them both feel a little uncomfortable.

I sensed something was very wrong.

Afterwards, the quick-witted Zhang Lexuan quickly realized what was happening, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

On that gentle and virtuous face, an expression that said "I understand" appeared.

"Oh? I see—"

Understanding dawned on Zhang Lexuan, who drawled out her words and patted Ma Xiaotao's shoulder with a smile, "You little rascal, you sure know how to make arrangements."

She turned to look at Lin Yao, her tone slightly teasing.

"Junior Lin, it's indeed quiet around Xiao Tao's villa, but I'd like to confirm with you again, are you sure?"

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's expectant eyes, Lin Yao nodded gently: "I don't mind. After all, considering the time I've been at Shrek Academy, my contact with the academy is still too short. With Sister Xiaotao's help, there will be a lot less trouble. It's great."

"That's good, that's good!"

Zhang Lexuan laughed even harder, but inwardly she was sighing with emotion.

She used to worry that with Ma Xiaotao's volatile temper, no one would dare to marry her in the future.

I never expected this girl to be so proactive; she actually managed to "lure" such an outstanding junior to her side.

At the same time, because of her affection for Lin Yao, and because she had some understanding of Lin Yao's talent and achievements from Yan Shaozhe, she became more and more satisfied with Lin Yao.

I think this child is not only highly talented, but also has a calm temperament, which complements Ma Xiaotao perfectly.

As she smiled, a barely perceptible dimness flashed in Zhang Lexuan's bright eyes. She remembered that she still had problems getting along with the people around her.

Therefore, he had no choice but to devote himself to cultivation and management of the inner courtyard in recent years.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, a girl I've watched grow up, who seems to have grown up even earlier than me, I can't help but feel envious yet also a little bitter.

Of course, this emotion was fleeting.

Zhang Lexuan quickly composed herself and said to the two of them, "Now that you've settled in, go and get ready. If you need anything, feel free to come to me."

Now that Le Xuan was no longer in the mood and didn't want to disturb Ma Xiaotao and Lin Yao's affairs, she said goodbye.

After thanking Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao pulled Lin Yao along and led him towards her villa.

The two lived in villas very close to each other.

This is Lin Yao's second time here. He only took a quick look around yesterday, and now he is taking a proper look.

These are two villas side by side, separated only by a small garden.

Ma Xiaotao's villa is fiery red, which matches her martial spirit, while the villa next door is silver-white, which perfectly suits Lin Yao's taste.

"Xiao Yao, what are your thoughts right now?"

Ma Xiaotao stood at the entrance of Lin Yao's villa, her face slightly flushed, and asked.

"Well?!"

Lin Yao was somewhat puzzled, wondering what Ma Xiaotao meant by asking the question.

Seeing Lin Yao's state, Ma Xiaotao thought of her own cultivation and future happiness, and knew that she could not back down.

She immediately stepped forward, lowered her voice slightly, and said with a hint of shyness, "How about we try complementary cultivation right now? I have a dedicated cultivation room in my bedroom, the environment is even better."

As she spoke, her fingertips touched Lin Yao's shoulder, her eyes filled with anticipation, like a mischievous older sister trying to lure a young boy.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao like this, Lin Yao was speechless. He had thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be like this.

"OK."

Ma Xiaotao's bedroom was decorated simply and elegantly, with a soft bed on one side and a closed cultivation room on the other.

In the center of the cultivation room were two futons, and the walls were engraved with soul-guiding array patterns that could gather soul power.

This makes the concentration of soul energy here much higher than in other places.

Then, Lin Yao and Ma Xiaotao wasted no time and sat on their respective cushions to adjust their state.

When it was almost time, Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and released her martial soul. A fiery red phoenix phantom appeared behind her, and the heat of the flames instantly spread out.

However, the flames contained a trace of black, malevolent energy, which was the source of the evil fire.

"I'm about to ignite your evil fire; get ready."

Ma Xiaotao's voice was somewhat solemn. With a flick of her finger, a wisp of fiery red flame drifted towards Lin Yao.

Lin Yao's eyes sharpened, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion within his body, along with the Ice and Fire Origin that had evolved into Tyrannosaurus Beast, instantly activated.

A wisp of pale blue ice mist condensed in his left hand, while a cluster of pure, deep red flames ignited in his right.

Lin Yao's ice energy can suppress evil fire, and his fire energy can guide the Phoenix True Fire. The combination of the two can help Ma Xiaotao temper her martial soul.

Now, Lin Yao merged the ice mist and flames, forming a combined power to meet Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.

The two forces met in mid-air, but surprisingly, there was no violent collision. Instead, it was like water flowing into the sea.

Lin Yao's power of ice and fire gently enveloped Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.

Specifically, down to the details.

The pale blue icy mist slowly devoured the black evil energy, seemingly as if the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was suppressing the Evil Fire Phoenix.

The deep red flames intertwined with the fiery red Phoenix True Fire, seemingly making Tyrannomon roar at the sky.

Then, it flowed slowly into Ma Xiaotao's body along her arm.

"Um----"

Ma Xiaotao let out a soft moan, feeling a gentle force coursing through her meridians.

The evil fire that had been restless due to his frantic cultivation was gradually suppressed, while the Phoenix True Fire became increasingly scorching.

Soul power circulated rapidly within his body, even more than three times faster than usual during cultivation.

Finding herself experiencing no pain, only benefits, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but open her eyes and look at Lin Yao opposite her.

Lin Yao had his eyes closed, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression focused. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, indicating that he was also fully utilizing his soul power.

Seeing Lin Yao like this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes revealed a touch of emotion, and she used her mental and soul power to cooperate even more earnestly.

As for Lin Yao, he was indeed no ordinary person; his feelings were even stronger than Ma Xiaotao's.

Because Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix True Fire was extremely domineering, after surging into his body through the connection point, it began to frantically temper his meridians and soul power.

Stimulated by the Phoenix True Fire, his source of ice and fire began to fluctuate violently.

The bottleneck of soul power that was originally stuck at level 47 is now showing signs of loosening.

Lin Yao remained calm, focusing his mind and proceeding step by step.

It guides the fusion of the ice and fire essence with the Phoenix True Fire, and injects the tempered soul power into the dantian.

Even more so, a thought couldn't help but surface in Lin Yao's mind: the primal power of the Tyrannosaurus Beast fused with the Phoenix Fire.

When the Star Palace feedback is activated later, will Lin Yao in the Digital World undergo unexpected changes?

A thought flashed through my mind, and perhaps it really is possible.

In the Digital World, Lin Yao, the Greymon, breaks through to the Ultimate level MetalGreymon and then to the Mega level WarGreymon, undergoing two transformation stages.

If there's a surprise, there's even a chance to get a Battle PhoenixGreymon.

happy.

As time passed, the fluctuations of soul power within the cultivation room grew stronger and stronger.

The phoenix phantom behind Ma Xiaotao became clearer and clearer, the black evil aura gradually dissipated, and the color of the flames changed from fiery red to dazzling golden red.

Lin Yao was surrounded by a stream of light blue and deep red energy, within which the shadows of guns could be faintly seen.

That was his Soul-Destroying Spear Martial Soul beginning to reveal its original power under the nourishment of soul power.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, two waves of soul power erupted simultaneously. Ma Xiaotao abruptly opened her eyes, a golden-red light flashing within them.

She felt her soul power surge instantly, easily breaking through the level 63 soul power barrier and soaring all the way to level 65 before stopping.

The essence of her Martial Soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, became incredibly pure, and even her temperament became more vibrant.

Lin Yao's body trembled, and the ice and fire essence within his body suddenly merged, forming a two-colored vortex.

The soul power of level 47 surged like a flood, instantly breaking through level 48, and then rushing towards level 49.

When his soul power stabilizes at level 49, it means that he is only one step away from becoming a five-ring Soul King.

At the same time, Lin Yao clearly felt that his body, after being tempered by the Phoenix True Fire and the Origin of Ice and Fire, was now able to withstand a 50,000-year soul ring.

This time, Lin Yao and Ma Xiaotao's unreserved cooperation allowed them to realize their accumulated experience and achieve a significant improvement.

This improvement is more than double the first one, which is terrifying.

After a while, Lin Yao and Ma Xiaotao finished their cooperation, and the fluctuations of soul power in the cultivation room gradually subsided.

Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes and looked at her hands, feeling an unprecedented comfort within her body. This time, she was in a better state than before, and her eyes were filled with ecstasy.

She suddenly rushed to Lin Yao's side and hugged his neck tightly: "Xiao Yao, I've broken through! Also, I've reached level 65, and the evil fire has been suppressed again."

I feel that if I come a few more times, I might be able to completely get rid of the evil fire in my body. Thank you so much.

Lin Yao was taken aback by her sudden embrace. The fragrance of her hair and the heat of the flames lingered around his nose, and he could clearly feel Ma Xiaotao's body trembling.

That was an excited tremor.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's excited expression despite her mature appearance, Lin Yao gently patted her back and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaotao, I've also broken through. Although I helped with that, it's mostly thanks to your hard work and talent."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao raised her head, her heart softening further, and her eyes filled with light as she looked at Lin Yao.

The two locked eyes, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

Looking at Lin Yao's handsome face, Ma Xiaotao's heart beat faster and faster. She slowly leaned closer and gently placed a kiss on Lin Yao's lips.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, yet carrying a scalding temperature.

Lin Yao was somewhat surprised, but then took the initiative and deepened the kiss.

The two were whispering sweet nothings in the cultivation room, completely unaware that at that moment, three old men were observing them from the top floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

It was Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, and Lin Huiqun, three members of the Sea God Pavilion.

However, compared to the Third Hokage, that old man Deng, the three of them still had some self-respect.

Seeing that the two young people were getting closer, I immediately removed the image, without any intention of disrupting or disturbing them.

After a moment of silence, Elder Xuan, the single old man, spoke first, breaking the silence. He took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect that kid Lin is so powerful. I only knew that he could suppress Xiao Tao's evil fire before, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. However, the two of them have indeed accumulated a lot of experience, and they have also broken through."

Lin Huiqun nodded, her tone tinged with approval: "Lin Yao's talent is truly undeniable. With his ultimate martial soul and the foundation he's built step by step, he'll definitely be a pillar of Shrek Academy in the future. However—"

She changed the subject, looking at Yan Shaozhe, "I thought Xiao Tao was forcing herself on him, after all, Lin Yao looks quite a bit younger than her, but I didn't expect it to be mutual."

Yan Shaozhe originally thought he had come to terms with it, but seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt like his own cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

She could only silently comfort herself, thinking that Lin Yao, that brat, had an ultimate martial soul and twin martial souls, so he definitely wouldn't mistreat Xiao Tao.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Old Lin, what's so strange about that? Although Xiao Tao has a fiery temper, she is simple-minded, while Lin Yao is calm and reserved. The two complement each other perfectly."

"Oh, right————"

He changed the subject, his expression becoming serious.

"The teacher has decided to meet Lin Yao at the Sea God Pavilion today. If nothing unexpected happens, the leader of our academy's new generation and the future master of the Sea God Pavilion should be confirmed."

Both Elder Xuan and Lin Huiqun were taken aback upon hearing this, and then a look of understanding appeared in their eyes.

As a level 99 Limit Douluo and the master of the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu didn't think much of the new students when he disguised himself as an old man in the dormitory.

However, meeting Lin Yao in such a solemn and important place as the Sea God Pavilion clearly shows that she has already given Lin Yao a high degree of recognition.

The formality was to confirm Lin Yao's impeccable character, and then he would personally mentor him, guiding him on the path to the top and making his journey smoother.

"Okay, then let's wait and see."

Elder Xuan nodded with a smile.

"I missed quite a few things before. Based on my understanding of this kid, I feel he has other trump cards up his sleeve. Perhaps Elder Mu can uncover all of this kid's secrets, hehe—"

Meanwhile, inside the cultivation room, Lin Yao was gently embracing Ma Xiaotao.

His mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. Just now, while he was cultivating, he vaguely sensed a faint feeling of being spied on.

However, the feeling of spying vanished the moment the two kissed.

It was clearly one of those old men from above, and they were very tactful, so Lin Yao didn't take it to heart.

A thought flashed through his mind. Lin Yao looked down at Ma Xiaotao in his arms and saw that she was still immersed in sweetness, her eyes full of smiles.

"ah----"

After a while of tender moments, Ma Xiaotao received a soul guide message from Yan Shaozhe and snapped out of her reverie, feeling somewhat shy.

Immediately, realizing the importance of this matter, Ma Xiaotao, though somewhat reluctant to part with Lin Yao, still spoke up: "Xiao Yao, my teacher said that Grandmaster wants to see you, and he's waiting for you outside—"

While feeling reluctant to part, Ma Xiaotao also felt a sense of pride.

After all, Lin Yao gained Elder Mu's approval at such a young age, which means he has high standards, right?

"Okay, Sister Tao, see you later————"

Lin Yao kissed Ma Xiaotao again, straightened his clothes, and just as he stepped out of the villa, he saw Yan Shaozhe standing on the stone road not far away.

When Yan Shaozhe saw him come out, he had already figured it out. His eyes were filled with a gentle smile: "Xiao Yao, come with me. Your teacher is waiting for you at the Sea God Pavilion."

"Yes, Dean."

Lin Yao followed Yan Shaozhe toward the Sea God Pavilion, which was located at the highest point of Sea God Island and was an ancient wooden pavilion.

It has nine floors in total.

Each floor exudes a rich historical atmosphere and radiates an aura of majesty.

-

The two walked up the spiral staircase, and the higher they went, the higher the concentration of soul power became.

When he reached the ninth floor, Lin Yao could even feel an invisible pressure.

That was the aura of a Limit Douluo.

In the center of the ninth floor, there is an ancient stone table, and next to the table lies an old man with white hair.

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, with a thin face but a pair of deep eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts.

It was none other than Mu En, the pillar of Shrek Academy and a level 99 Limit Douluo.

"Teacher, Lin Yao is here."

Yan Shaozhe bowed respectfully to the old man, and then introduced Elder Mu to Lin Yao.

"Xiao Yao, this is my teacher, Elder Mu, the head of the Sea God Pavilion, the highest authority in Shrek Academy, a level 99 Limit Douluo, and one of the top experts on the continent."

Mu En slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Lin Yao. His eyes were expressionless, yet Lin Yao felt a strong sense of oppression.

Lin Yao showed no fear. He bowed slightly to Mu En and said calmly, "Student Lin Yao greets Elder Mu."

Seeing Lin Yao's composed demeanor, Mu En's eyes flashed with surprise, then he smiled faintly: "Young Lin, for some reason, I have a vague feeling that the first time you saw me at the dormitory entrance, you sensed that I wasn't just an ordinary dormitory old man?"

"Perhaps it's because of my talent that my soul perception is far more acute than that of ordinary people."

Lin Yao responded softly.

"Is that so? The younger generation is truly formidable."

Moon smiled and shook his head, his tone tinged with admiration.

"As expected, the future belongs to you young people. I'm just an old man waiting to die now. The only thing I can do to contribute is to guide you."

As he spoke, Moon slowly extended his right hand, a wisp of pale golden soul power condensing at his fingertips. The soul power carried an aura of majesty, as if it could command all things: "You've grasped the essence of the spear, which shows your talent. So I'll use the simplest and most direct method: this wisp of 'ruling the world' will to clash with your spear intent. The specifics will depend on your own gains."

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Mu."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao was somewhat surprised, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

To receive guidance from a top-tier expert in the Douluo Continent, even if it's just a clash of wills, is a rare opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yao instantly activated his soul power, and the Soul-Destroying Spear martial soul appeared behind him.

The silver-white gun barrel was engraved with intricate patterns, exuding a chilling killing intent.

He loosely clenched his right hand, and a wisp of silver-white spear intent condensed from his fingertips, carrying an aura of destruction, as it met Moon's "Reign Over the World".

"boom!"

The two forces collided in mid-air, producing no earth-shattering roar, but forming an invisible shockwave that seemed to freeze the air on the entire ninth floor.

Mu En's "Reign Over the World" was like an emperor descending, carrying an irresistible majesty, attempting to suppress Lin Yao's spear intent.

Lin Yao's spear intent, like a drawn sword, carried an indomitable destructive power, forcefully withstanding that imposing aura.

A hint of approval flashed in Mu En's eyes. With a slight movement of his soul power at his fingertips, the will of "Ruling the World" gained even more strength. Countless invisible shackles seemed to appear in the air, wrapping around Lin Yao's spear intent.

Lin Yao felt a tightness in his chest, as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart.

He gritted his teeth, and the essence of ice and fire within his body instantly merged into the intent of the spear.

The pale blue icy aura added a touch of fierceness to the spear's intent, while the deep red flames added a touch of domineering power.

The two forces intertwined and broke through the invisible shackles. The spear intent became more and more condensed, piercing towards Moon's will as if it were a tangible substance.

"Oh? You can actually integrate the essence of your martial soul into your will?"

Moon's surprise deepened.

Immediately, he suppressed his "ruling the world" mentality and nodded with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad."

While smiling, Mu En continued to extend his finger and gently tapped Lin Yao's brow, slowly injecting a wisp of pale golden soul power.

"Your fusion just now was innovative, but it still lacked refinement. The fusion of martial spirit origin and will requires that the will follow the origin, and the origin follow the will. Try again."

As soon as that wisp of soul power entered his brow, Lin Yao felt a surge of clarity in his mind, and the sluggishness he felt during the fusion instantly disappeared.

Following Moon's instructions, he reactivated the source of ice and fire.

This time, he no longer deliberately controlled the gun's intent, but let the essence of ice and fire flow naturally.

The intent of the spear follows the origin like a shadow, and the two gradually merge into one.

Within the silvery-white spear intent, pale blue ice patterns and fiery red flame patterns intertwined, exuding an aura that was both fierce and domineering.
