Three days later, Xiaotuo had been training at Shrek Academy for three days.
As in the City Lord's mansion, they hadn't made things too difficult for him, except for not allowing him to leave.
It was just a little strange. If they really wanted to cultivate him, in principle, they should have taken him to hunt soul rings.
Now that he was at level twenty, it was enough to hunt two soul rings in one go.
This always made him feel a little uneasy.
Sure enough, that night, the unease in his heart came true.
In front of Xiaotuo's door, Yan Shaozhe stopped at the door with a beautiful girl. The girl's expression was a little off. She was clutching her chest, her face flushed, obviously enduring something.
"Teacher, I can't take it anymore. Can the person inside really save me?"
"Yes, Xiaotao. From now on, he will be the most important person to you. We Shrek are sorry to him. Only you can take care of him," Yan Shaozhe said with a hint of guilt on his face.
But in order to have someone who could truly help the world, sacrificing an ordinary person with no future was, in his opinion, worthwhile.
"Okay, then I'll go in. I really can't hold on anymore." Ma Xiaotao was about to lose her mind and couldn't care what her teacher was saying. She immediately pushed open the door and walked in.
Xiaotuo was practicing his internal energy at the moment, but because he was in someone else's territory, he didn't enter deep cultivation. With this shallow practice, he could detect any disturbance outside.
Opening his eyes, he saw a beauty with red hair staring at him intently.
"This elder sister, are you?"
"Help me... Help me quickly... I can't take it anymore." The woman didn't answer Xiaotuo, but rushed up and hugged him tightly. A rich and strange firelight emanated from her body, seeming to burn both herself and Xiaotuo to ashes.
"This flame? It's evil fire! You are..." Xiaotuo immediately guessed who the person in front of him was: Ma Xiaotao, the crazy woman from Shrek Academy's inner court.
Having inherited Ma Hongjun's evil fire, she didn't recognize relatives once it flared up, often injuring or even killing people.
In the original story, Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice only temporarily suppressed the evil fire, but couldn't cure it. Later, the evil fire was completely triggered by the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool, the Sword of Judgment, and she was taken away by the Holy Spirit Sect, becoming an evil soul master.
Now, she hadn't even come into contact with Ultimate Ice, which was the most serious time for the evil fire to flare up.
"Not good. If this continues, her flames will burn me to ashes. Damn it..." Xiaotuo immediately circulated his Divine Fire internal energy, and the power of the Fire Aspect surged.
When his Fire Aspect power met Ma Xiaotao's evil fire,
the evil fire was integrated into the Fire Aspect power and then refined and purified little by little.
Ma Xiaotao felt the feeling of being burned by the raging fire gradually disappear from her body. Her whole body was warm and comfortable. Holding the child in front of her, she felt an unspeakable peace and comfort in her heart, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
The burning firelight of this night lasted until dawn.
The next day, as the rising sun rose, the two woke up. They had been hugging like this all night, and their clothes had all been burned by the raging fire.
Ma Xiaotao didn't care, after all, Xiaotuo was just a six-year-old child now.
But Xiaotuo's soul was, after all, an adult. Looking at such a beautiful girl, he was a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, you're still blushing, little brother. Tell me, what's your name?" Ma Xiaotao took out a fiery red one-piece mini-skirt from her soul tool and asked while putting it on.
"Yuwen Tuo," Xiaotuo replied.
"Yuwen Tuo, still a compound surname, not bad. Well then, Yuwen Tuo, from now on, you are my person. I will take good care of you. You must work hard to cultivate soul power and completely eliminate my evil fire. When that day comes, I will compensate you as much as possible..." Ma Xiaotao looked at Yuwen Tuo meaningfully.
When her evil fire broke out yesterday, this child's purest fire not only suppressed her evil fire but also eliminated a little bit of the evil fire in her body.
This was something that even her teacher, a Title Douluo, couldn't do.
(Note: Title Douluo is another power that is referenced in the anime a lot).
Don't look at it as just a little bit, but it gave her hope, the hope of completely eliminating the evil fire.
The only thing that made her hesitate was that her evil fire would affect this child's purest fire. If the purest fire lost its purity, it would become weaker than ordinary flames. Not only that, she also felt yesterday that when her evil fire merged with this child's flame, Yuwen Tuo's power was constantly weakening.
This undoubtedly ruined this child's future, but she had no choice. According to what her teacher said, the purest fire had no future in the first place. So, sacrificing him to save herself was, at least for this continent, worthwhile.
After all, if a true Ultimate Fire Phoenix soul master appeared, it would be extremely helpful in striking against the continent's evil soul masters.
Yuwen Tuo's sacrifice could save more people in the future.
"Compensate?" Yuwen Tuo was stunned. Suddenly thinking of something, he immediately circulated the power in his body, only to discover that his soul power was actually only level ten now.
Although this woman's evil fire was purified by his Fire Aspect power yesterday, because her power was much stronger than his, when the two merged, their soul power connected, like a river flowing backwards. A large amount of soul power in his body flowed into this woman's body.
The years of hard work had instantly become useless, and even served as a wedding dress for this woman.
"Bastard!" No matter how calm Xiaotuo was, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at this moment. "You Shrek, said you wanted to cultivate me, but now you actually treat me like this, destroying my power. Is this the style of the number one academy in the world?"
"I'm sorry," Ma Xiaotao said. "Don't worry, when my evil fire is completely eliminated, I will find heavenly materials and earthly treasures to help you recover the soul power you lost, even if it costs me everything. If I can't find it, I'll give myself to you and take care of you for the rest of my life. As long as you're here, I will definitely become a Title Douluo, and it's not impossible to even surpass my ancestor Ma Hongjun. Your martial soul is special and has no future in the first place. Exchanging it for my protection is not a loss for you!"
"Hehe, you're saying it with such righteousness, but I don't care at all. If you're really guilty, then let me leave now. I don't want to stay in your Shrek at all. To allow disciples to absorb the soul power of others, how is that different from an evil soul master?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's expression changed. She waved her hand and sent out a ray of soul power, bouncing Xiaotuo back onto the bed. However, this ray of soul power was very gentle. She just wanted to teach Xiaotuo a lesson and didn't want to hurt him.
"How dare you compare my school to evil soul masters? Do you know how many evil soul masters our school's supervisors have eliminated? And how many people have bravely sacrificed themselves in the battle against evil soul masters?"
"I naturally admire those people, but what does that have to do with you? Because of the problem with that evil fire, you haven't had many actual battles, have you? And how many evil soul masters have you eliminated?" Xiaotuo taunted.
"Not now, but when you help # Nоvеlight # me eliminate the evil fire, I will be the greatest nemesis of all evil soul masters," Ma Xiaotao said confidently. "From now on, you will live here. With me here, no one in the academy will dare to bully you. As long as you don't think about leaving, you won't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. You can tell me anything you want."
