Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

(This chapter will delve into the analysis of the controversial character Ma Xiaotao. Whether you're a critic or a neutral party, listen to my detailed explanation.)

Ma Xiaotao is a little panicked. She tries to put herself in Huo Yuhao's shoes to find the key to repairing their relationship.

I am Huo Yuhao. Today, I was strolling around Poseidon Lake with my friend Wang Dong when I encountered a crazy woman emitting red light. I almost died at her hands.

Fortunately, I survived. Three months later, I saw the crazy woman who almost killed me again. She took Wang Dong and me to a secluded place, and I don't know what she wanted to do.

She attacked me and Wang Dong. We can't defeat her. Are we going to die here?

It turns out she didn't really want to kill us; she just wanted to recreate the scene from last time.

Wang Dong was very angry, and so was I. What right did she have to do this?

"I know you're not convinced, but there's nothing you can do about it."

"If you want revenge, then cultivate diligently. Once you enter the inner courtyard, I will give you the chance to challenge me."

Ma Xiaotao! I'll remember you! You wait, when I become strong enough, I will definitely get my revenge!

After Ma Xiaotao successfully empathized with Huo Yuhao's perspective and portrayed his psychological state at the time, she realized that she might never be able to get rid of her inner demons.

Give up? The answer is definitely no.

Even the seemingly impossible hope of Extreme Ice has appeared; giving up without even trying is not her style.

After seeing her own actions from Huo Yuhao's perspective, Ma Xiaotao could more clearly understand how difficult it was to improve their relationship.

But no matter how difficult it is, she will strive to achieve it; she will never give up on cultivation!

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was prepared for a protracted battle with Huo Yuhao. She planned to use time to remove the thorns in Huo Yuhao's heart one by one.

Seeing her like this, Yan Shaozhe knew that Ma Xiaotao had already understood her problem, and there was nothing else he could do to help her. He immediately dispersed his soul power barrier and disappeared from the spot.

After standing still for a moment, Ma Xiaotao also transformed into a streak of red light and dashed out of the dormitory building, heading towards the outer courtyard.

Thump, thump, thump~

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were cultivating with the power of Haodong, opened their eyes, withdrew their palms from each other, and got up from the bed.

"Strange, who would come looking for us at this time?" Wang Dong asked, stepping forward to open the door. She was sitting on the outside, closest to the door.

then……

"It's you! What are you doing here!" Wang Dong's tone was surprised, with a hint of displeasure, and his face showed obvious resistance.

Huo Yuhao, who had just reached the door, naturally saw the person that Wang Dong found repulsive.

Dressed in red, with long, beautiful red hair falling to her waist, a full and rounded upper body, and long, straight legs, she was none other than Ma Xiaotao, who was also a "sworn brother" to Wang Dong.

However, at this moment, Ma Xiaotao's eyes no longer held the same captivating and fierce light as before, and her face was no longer cold and beautiful. Instead, it revealed a hint of unease and anxiety.

Besides, Huo Yuhao could also see a hint of expectation in the other person's eyes.

"Isn't it said that boys aren't allowed in girls' dorms? Why are girls allowed in boys' dorms?! Is Shrek Academy creating gender inequality?"

Hearing Wang Dong's extremely hostile words, Ma Xiaotao felt a little embarrassed, but this unwelcome situation was within her expectations.

"Um, I'm here to apologize to you all. About what I did before..."

"What a joke! Apologize again? Last time you said you were apologizing to us, and you ended up beating up Yuhao and me. Now you want to apologize again?"

Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're an inner court student and strong, you can do whatever you want. Everyone has some kind of background!

Before Ma Xiaotao could finish speaking, Wang Dong interrupted her with an indignant expression.

No wonder she reacted so strongly. She almost died at Ma Xiaotao's hands the first time they met, and the second time they met, Ma Xiaotao beat her up under the guise of apologizing.

Now that an apology has been mentioned again, it's no wonder Wang Dong's reaction is anything but normal.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's face became even more embarrassed. In the past, no one would have dared to speak to her like this, but now...

What Wang Dong said was indeed true, and she couldn't refute it.

Apologize? Huo Yuhao looked at his "older sister" who was originally destined for him, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

When he was a freshman, all he knew was that Ma Xiaotao was a powerful inner court student, someone he needed to catch up with.

But now, he knows far too much about Ma Xiaotao.

As a controversial character in the original work, Ma Xiaotao has three major sins:

Knowing full well that he had evil fire within him and was at risk of going out of control, he arrogantly believed that he had the ability to control it, which almost led to the deaths of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. This is the sin of arrogance.

Having had her evil fire suppressed by Tianmeng's power for three months, she experienced firsthand the absence of the evil fire's interference. Upon discovering that this power had disappeared, she immediately sought out Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

He attacked Huo Yuhao and his companion again for his own selfish desires, which is the sin of greed.

After Ma Xiaotao successfully killed the assassins who ambushed Huo Yuhao and his companion, she promised to give Huo Yuhao an explanation and uphold justice for him.

However, after Huo Yuhao cleared away the evil fire for her several times, Ma Xiaotao never mentioned the assassination attempt again, which was a sin of laziness.

Each and every one of these things is powerful evidence that Ma Xiaotao is evil.

However, from another perspective, Ma Xiaotao's cultivation path was more difficult than that of ordinary people because she suffered from evil fire since childhood. Even so, she was still able to cultivate to level 67 and become the chief of the younger generation in the inner courtyard.

This is enough to demonstrate Ma Xiaotao's strong will and firm belief. Originally, she knew that she still had to continue cultivating despite the evil fire, but she still did not give up cultivating even though she was suffering from the evil fire.

It transformed directly from the sin of pride into strength and courage.

To put it bluntly, martial spirits are the foundation of the Douluo Continent. Asking a soul master to give up cultivation is tantamount to asking someone to give up making money.

Ma Xiaotao's ability to cultivate all the way to level 67 demonstrates that her talent is undeniably top-tier.

Ma Xiaotao's situation is similar to that of people who work in fields with transparent and open promotion channels.

Ma Xiaotao knew how much she could improve through cultivation, while those people knew that they could get promoted and receive a raise if they worked hard enough.

We can see the results and the future, so it's impossible to stop moving forward.

The second thing was that in order to find the source of the power, he approached Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. Although he said he would take action, he actually just used a vortex of flames to envelop the two of them, creating the illusion that he was about to kill them.

In fact, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were only frightened and not injured. Imagine yourself in the shoes of a girl who has been troubled by evil fire for twenty years and has finally seen a glimmer of hope.

This method can at most be described as excessive; on the contrary, being constantly plagued by evil fire could even threaten one's life.

In this situation, Ma Xiaotao was just trying her hand at acting, which really shows her composure.

Huo Yuhao always felt that if he gave the Evil Fire Phoenix to Xuanzi, it wouldn't be acting anymore, but a real killing.

That's a stereotype.

As for the third and final matter, Ma Xiaotao actually had no say in it either.

The decision not to punish Dai Huabin was made by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. What could Ma Xiaotao, with her status, possibly do?

Even her teacher, Yan Shaozhe, a level 95 Super Douluo, was only at the very bottom of the Sea God Pavilion's upper echelons, and he needed Xuanzi's support to do anything.

Even if Ma Xiaotao wanted to help, there was nothing she could do. She was just a minor Soul Emperor, a direct descendant with excellent talent but a flawed martial soul.

Trying to influence the Sea God Pavilion's decisions? No way.

Therefore, the sin of sloth is not established. In conclusion, all three sins are invalid, and Ma Xiaotao is a good girl!

This is the viewpoint of those who believe Ma Xiaotao is kind.
