Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 8 Evil Fire

For the next period of time, Xiaofei continued his cultivation as planned. That evening, during meditation, Xiaofei suddenly felt something unusual. He felt an impulse, and at the same time, he felt that this thing was slightly influencing his desires.

Xiao Fei hurried to the backyard, channeling his martial spirit. Sure enough, he sensed an unusual flame on the Fire Phoenix. Upon closer inspection, this flame seemed incongruous with the phoenix's natural flames, and it seemed to affect the phoenix itself, somewhat like the demonic seed described in novels from his previous life, unconsciously influencing one's behavior. It even created an urge to vent, which could include killing or indulging in sexual activity. Xiao Fei carefully reviewed the original text, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: this was the evil fire from the Evil Fire Phoenix. Ma Hongjun had been affected by this very thing, causing him to gain weight and requiring regular visits to brothels. This was troublesome.

Over the next few days, Xiaofei meditated while searching for various materials, going through all the books in Notting Junior College, but found nothing relevant.

Two days later, Xiao Fei successfully leveled up to level 15. At the same time, he felt the evil fire within him seemed to have grown stronger. Could it be that the evil fire grew according to his soul power? Xiao Fei felt a bitter taste in his mouth. "What should I do? Should I try to seduce someone like Ma Hongjun did?"

In his past life, Xiao Fei deeply despised Ma Hongjun. Ma Hongjun was second only to Tang San in talent among the Shrek Seven Devils, especially in attack. However, his achievements were the lowest among them, and he was also one of the least hardworking members of the Shrek Seven Devils. Xiao Fei didn't want to become like Ma Hongjun.

For the next few days, Xiao Fei was filled with worry, sometimes even losing focus in class. In his memory, the only thing that could solve the problem of the evil fire seemed to be the Phoenix Sunflower, but now the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well belonged to Dugu Bo. If he rashly went there now, he feared he would be slapped to death by Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo was one of the most ruthless people in the Heavenly Dou Empire, a man who killed without blinking an eye, and was said to have even massacred entire cities. Xiao Fei couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

One day, Xiao Fei suddenly saw Tang San and a brilliant idea flashed through his mind. The cultivation method for twin martial souls requires first elevating one martial soul to its peak, while simultaneously training one's physical attributes to the extreme. Only in this way can the phenomenon of twin martial souls exploding be avoided.

In other words, as long as he raises his physical abilities to the limit, he can avoid the backlash and effects of the evil fire. At the same time, Xiao Fei couldn't help but think of another person, Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo's entire body is covered in Azure Scale Serpent venom. The venom gives him great strength, but it also backfires on him. He uses the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to suppress the venom in his body, and the solution Tang San came up with for him was to transfer the venom using his soul bone.

Could I transfer the evil fire to my external soul bone at the same time? External soul bones have extremely high potential and can become stronger as soul power increases. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? It would solve the evil fire problem and also temper the external soul bone, increasing its lifespan.

Without hesitation, Xiao Fei summoned his Fire Phoenix Martial Soul that very night. Sensing the flames on his Martial Soul, he discovered that it possessed two distinct types: one was the Phoenix Flame, and the other was an impure, malevolent flame. Carefully sensing the flames and manipulating his soul power, he guided them to the external soul bone on his palm. Over the course of the night, the malevolent flame on the Fire Phoenix diminished. "This works! Now I can continue cultivating, and I'll become stronger much faster!"

At the same time, Xiao Fei thought of another problem: he had two different flames within him. If these two incompatible flames were to operate like Xiao Yan's, wouldn't that be a Douluo Continent version of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus? After careful consideration, he decided against it. He didn't have the Burning Technique, nor could he fuse the two flames; otherwise, he might explode first. It seemed his main task recently would be to train his body, improve his physical fitness, and transfer the evil fire.

"Sigh," Xiao Fei sighed softly.

"Other transmigrators are all incredibly powerful, but I don't have any cheat codes at all. Instead, I have a body full of evil fire that could explode at any moment. Moreover, my innate soul power level is one level lower than Ma Hongjun's, which means that my evil fire may be even more abundant than Ma Hongjun's, making it more difficult to deal with."

After a sigh, Xiaofei began his daily work plan again.

After a month of effort, Xiao Fei had temporarily transferred the evil fire within his body to his external soul bone. However, every time Xiao Fei meditated, he felt that some of the evil fire would regenerate, which greatly annoyed him. Why? Because this evil fire was inherent to his martial soul itself. Unless he could upgrade his martial soul...

At the same time, Xiao Fei gradually understood the reason why his cultivation speed had increased. It was because after absorbing the Flaming Lion King beyond his level, the excess soul ring power was constantly circulating and being absorbed within Xiao Fei's body. At the same time, there was also flame beyond his limit. After Xiao Fei enhanced the flame itself through his first soul skill, he was able to gradually feel the changes in the fire element on his body. In other words, Xiao Fei's ability to withstand and understand the fire element had become stronger.

Especially in the blacksmith shop, the fire element in the air was significantly higher than in other places, which deepened Xiaofei's understanding.

"I see. The first stage of the Fire Phoenix should be the comprehension of the fire element. By coming into contact with excessive soul power and soul skills, I was able to come into contact with a higher level of flames ahead of time. And the flames, through the impact and baptism on my body's meridians last time, have made my meridians wider. This allows me to increase my meditation speed by 10% to 20% when I meditate."

"This is a good thing. It means that my innate soul power level has improved. I estimate that my current innate soul power level is around level nine and a half, which is a huge improvement."

Xiao Fei was talking to himself. Luckily, no one was around and no one heard him, otherwise, his words might have caused a major upheaval in the world of Soul Masters.

Before they knew it, the year was drawing to a close. Since they were from the same village, Xiao Fei and Tang San made a pact to go back to the village together.

On the day school ended, Xiao Fei, Xiao Wu, and Tang San walked down the road. Xiao Fei carried various packages on his back, containing clothes, farm tools, seeds, food, and other items that Old Jack had bought for him.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had nothing on them; it was clearly stored in their soul tools. Tang San didn't offer to help Xiao Fei retrieve it, probably fearing the soul tools would be leaked. Xiao Fei didn't seem inclined to say anything. Everyone has their own path to walk, and no matter what, one can only rely on oneself, and one must never reveal their secrets to others.

And so, the three children, two boys and one girl, with one of the boys carrying several packages, slowly walked toward Holy Soul Village.
