Ji Lin followed Ma Xiaotao to the shore of Sea God Lake. Along the lakeside shrouded in a mysterious aura, they walked side by side over bluestone paving, surrounded by quiet forests and a shimmering lake in the distance. Their steps were light, as though they had become one with the beautiful scenery.
A faint smile rested on Ji Lin's face, though no one knew what he was thinking. Ma Xiaotao, meanwhile, was somewhat excited, uneasy, and expectant.
After receiving Yan Shaozhe's message, Ma Xiaotao had been pleasantly surprised. She was thrilled that they had finally found someone with Ultimate Ice, meaning she could finally be free. She would no longer have to worry about being invaded by evil fire and going berserk during cultivation. What delighted her even more was that this person was Ji Lin—the little brother she knew.
That was why she had immediately come looking for Ji Lin.
Ma Xiaotao turned to look at Ji Lin walking beside her, her eyes filled with anticipation as she asked, "Xiao Lin, Teacher told me today that you have Twin Martial Souls, and that your second Martial Soul has the Ultimate Ice attribute. Is that true?"
Seeing the anticipation and unease in Ma Xiaotao's eyes, Ji Lin nodded. "Yes, Sister Xiaotao. I do have Twin Martial Souls, and my second Martial Soul really is Ultimate Ice."
Receiving Ji Lin's confirmation, Ma Xiaotao was overjoyed.
She hurriedly said to him, "Xiao Lin, there's something I want to ask you to help me with. You saw it last time—because of my Martial Soul, I went berserk and even accidentally hurt you and your classmate. My Martial Soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix. You should have heard of it. My ancestor was Phoenix Douluo Ma Hongjun, one of the first-generation Shrek Seven
