Background / History

Ma Xiaotao is Yan Shaozhe’s disciple and the sole remaining member of Ma Hongjun’s lineage. She inherited the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power, and the bloodline’s Evil Fire defect, which repeatedly destabilized her mind and could drive her into violent loss of control. Before its cure, prolonged martial-soul use—particularly beyond half an hour in battle—could trigger a runaway state. 98 140 347

She first met Zhu Ziyang at Sea God Lake when she offered him a ride across the water using her phoenix wings. His presence unexpectedly calmed her restless martial soul, drawing her to him despite her embarrassment and insistence on overcoming the defect alone. 77 99

During an Evil Fire outbreak, she chased another Inner Court disciple across Sea God Lake before Zhu Ziyang subdued and cooled her with Ultimate Ice. Thereafter, she reluctantly accepted his help in suppressing the Evil Fire, while Yan Shaozhe attempted to encourage a relationship between them as a solution to her condition. 97 98 99

Her recovery began with the Fire Spirit Tiger’s Soul Ring, which reduced Evil Fire’s influence. It was completed when she absorbed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the same immortal herb that had cured her ancestor Ma Hongjun; this purified her martial soul into a true Fire Phoenix and awakened Ultimate Fire. 104 149 150

After later leaving Shrek with Fifth Huan’er, Ma Xiaotao discovered the Fire God Temple in Red Minister Mountain and was selected for the God of Fire’s Divine Position inheritance. Over three years, she and Huan’er completed six of the Nine Trials, accelerating Ma Xiaotao from level 74 to level 88. 320 321

Appearance

Ma Xiaotao is a striking red-haired woman associated with scarlet phoenix flames and wings. Her appearance is frequently accompanied by a flushed complexion during Evil Fire episodes or intense emotion. 77 97 246

• Crimson Fire Phoenix wings manifest when she uses her martial soul. 77 211
• Her Divine Position Assessment appears as a golden-red flame mark between her brows. 319 321
• Following her fusion with the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower, she can manifest as a crimson phoenix shimmering with gold. 246
• Upon becoming the God of Fire, she wears blazing golden armor and wields black-and-white twin swords. 412

Personality

Ma Xiaotao is confident, direct, proud, and intensely competitive. In battle she is arrogant toward weaker opponents and unhesitating in using overwhelming force, but she is also protective of allies and willing to confront powerful political figures when she believes they have acted unjustly. 211 373

Her struggle with Evil Fire exposed a more vulnerable side: she deeply valued independence and initially resisted relying on Zhu Ziyang, even when his presence offered the most reliable relief. 99 She is emotionally open and physically affectionate with people she trusts, particularly Zhu Ziyang and Fifth Huan’er. 104 319 347
