Douluo Continent: The Spirit Puzzle - I pieced together a god.

"Is the senior student Ma Xiaotao?" Chen Fan asked.

Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment.

Then, considering Chen Fan's background, and realizing it was normal for the other party to know him, he nodded and said, "Yes."

"You want me to transform Senior Ling Luochen's martial soul to help you suppress the evil fire?"

Ma Xiaotao nodded, with an expression that seemed perfectly natural.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and said, "If you're so capable, go find Senior Ling Luochen and ask her to help you suppress your evil fire. Instead of persuading her, you come to me and use my future potential to clear your evil fire. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Ma Xiaotao was stunned.

She hadn't expected Chen Fan to say something like that.

Realizing what Chen Fan had said, she was immediately furious and about to explode.

"I've already said that I have a target for converting my spirit fragments. Are you deaf?"

Chen Fan's voice also carried a hint of anger.

Qian Duoduo tried to persuade him many times, and he was always able to calm down and explain.

Because Qian Duoduo genuinely cares about him.

What is Ma Xiaotao anyway?

Especially Ma Xiaotao's arrogant attitude, as if her transformation of the fragments into ice elements and her control over them was a great blessing, something that was taken for granted.

Chen Fan was very unhappy.

At first, I didn't think it was necessary to go against Ma Xiaotao.

It's always better to avoid getting beaten up.

But Ma Xiaotao is indeed annoying.

Chen Fan couldn't stand it.

"I already have my own plans for the future. Your interference in my spiritual practice, solely for your own needs, is an obstruction to my path!"

Chen Fan spoke sternly, staring at Ma Xiaotao, enunciating each word clearly.

Ma Xiaotao was also stunned by Chen Fan's words.

However, her anger quickly flared up.

"How dare you talk to me like that?"

She furrowed her brow, and her fiery red hair slowly rose up, scattering faintly in the air.

It was as if a ball of flame was rising, enveloping Ma Xiaotao.

Chen Fan frowned.

He ignored Ma Xiaotao and turned to leave.

A fire ignited in Ma Xiaotao's eyes.

"I'm really angry!"

Chen Fan anticipated her attack and shouted in advance, "Ma Xiaotao, you're just a piece of trash controlled by the evil fire! If you dare to attack me, my uncle will definitely impeach you to the Sea God Pavilion. You're already controlled by the evil fire; you can't even control your own temper. If you continue cultivating, you'll become a disaster sooner or later!"

Chen Fan turned his head again and shouted at Ma Xiaotao, who was about to rush in front of him.

Ma Xiaotao instantly regained her senses.

Her face turned pale.

Chen Fan had finally woken her up.

In fact, her problem with evil fire was quite serious. The Sea God Pavilion had discussed whether to let her continue her cultivation.

Ultimately, it was Yan Shaozhe's strong support that allowed her to continue her cultivation.

This happened three years ago. At that time, she had been stuck at level 49 for a long time and was depressed, which caused her to have a sudden outburst of anger.

That outburst also prevented her from participating in the Soul Master Competition, making her a substitute for the Shrek Seven Devils.

That time, she almost lost her chance to cultivate.

Many of the Grand Secretaries held her in high regard, but even so, they worried that her evil fire was growing stronger and might cause a major upheaval.

Once out of control, it could be just as dangerous as becoming an evil spirit master.

Chen Fan's words undoubtedly touched on the thing she cared about most.

If it were anyone else who said Chen Fan those words, she wouldn't care much.

But it was Chen Fan who said those words.

He has a lot of money behind him.

Qian Duoduo is the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, and his wife is Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department and Mu En's apprentice.

Their words still carry weight.

Once the Sea God Pavilion meeting is convened again...

Ma Xiaotao stared coldly at Chen Fan.

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao had stopped, Chen Fan had no intention of continuing to talk to this crazy woman and turned to leave.

......

When Qian Duoduo learned that Chen Fan had been taken away by Ma Xiaotao and had a conflict with her, she went to Chen Fan's dormitory.

"What happened?"

Chen Fan recounted what had happened during the day.

After hearing this, Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you know how to talk."

Although she spoke lightly, Qian Duoduo actually knew that things weren't that simple.

"Ma Xiaotao's problem with her 'evil fire' is getting more and more serious. She's close to breaking through to the sixth ring recently, and her 'evil fire' is erupting much more frequently than before. Be careful."

"Although you stopped her this time, she already knows that you might be able to help her get rid of her evil fire. When her evil fire really erupts and she becomes delirious, she may come looking for you."

Hearing Qian Duoduo say this, Chen Fan cursed inwardly.

"It's like a persistent ghost."

Qian Duoduo was also helpless, saying, "If your second fragment can truly transform into ultimate ice, it should be able to help with this matter, but..."

He had witnessed Chen Fan's stubbornness yesterday; he certainly wouldn't give up the ultimate ice to convert Ling Luochen's control over ice elements.

"Uncle, if I remember correctly, I've seen the list of carving knives, and there's one called the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife."

Qian Duoduo didn't know why Chen Fan suddenly brought up the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, but she still nodded.

"Indeed, the Soul Devouring Carving Blade was originally ranked high among the carving blades, but because of its ferocity, it killed countless Soul Masters, making it an ominous blade."

"The Soul-Devouring Carving Blade contains a curse that will kill the Soul Master who wields it and absorb his resentment."

Qian Duoduo explained the information she knew to Chen Fan.

After listening, Chen Fan asked, "Since the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade can absorb resentment, can it also absorb evil fire?"

"Um?"

Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment.

He thought about it seriously, then hesitated and shook his head.

"It probably won't work, right?"

"Uncle, let's look for it first, regardless of whether it works or not. By the way, don't tell Dean Yan. We'll find the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife ourselves. I'll keep it. If Ma Xiaotao comes to me again and forcibly threatens me to get rid of her evil fire, I'll have no choice but to die with the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife."

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's lips twitched slightly.

"You better be joking, kid." He said helplessly, "If you really use the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, Ma Xiaotao will probably lose control of her evil fire on the spot. Even if the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade can absorb evil fire, it will only absorb it after inducing the evil fire to lose control, rather than helping Ma Xiaotao absorb the excess evil fire."

That was an evil blade.

Chen Fan had found an excuse to get the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, and of course he wouldn't give up so easily.

"Let's get it first. Even if it's a one-for-one trade, it's not a loss. I've already said such harsh things today. If Ma Xiaotao can still find me, she'll probably be in a frenzy of evil. I might not even survive then. Trading her for me is at least a win-win situation." Chen Fan said, "Besides, maybe the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife will ignite her evil fire and create a glimmer of hope for me."

Qian Duoduo was speechless at Chen Fan's logic.

However, Chen Fan is right.

If Ma Xiaotao seeks out Chen Fan again, she'll most likely lose her temper and become irrational.

"The Soul-Devouring Carving Blade is still too dangerous. You take this Invincible Shield."

Qian Duoduo took out a small golden ball.

"This is a level 5 invincible shield. Even if Contra goes all out, it cannot break through it. The shield triggers automatically and can last for at least three seconds."
