"This is..." Yan Shaozhe and Xiao Kuangdao both froze in place, their eyes filled with indescribable shock.
A dragon brimming with Auspicious Aura!
Just as the two were stunned by the sight, the dragon phantom opened its mouth. A massive energy gradually gathered within it, carrying an immensely terrifying suction force.
Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe reacted. With a flash, he moved to seize Ma Xiaotao, but before he could achieve his goal, a vortex-like azure whirlwind condensed at the dragon phantom's mouth.
The terrifying suction force directly locked Ma Xiaotao's body in place. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and some clarity returned to her blood-red eyes.
"So painful... This is!" Ma Xiaotao only felt as though her head were splitting apart, but when she clearly saw the dragon phantom before her, she was utterly stunned.
Ma Xiaotao panicked somewhat. The reason she had come to Sea God Island was because, while cultivating earlier, she had wanted to break through to rank forty-eight in one go. Unexpectedly, the Evil Fire suppressed within her by the Ancient Ice Crystal erupted once again, and it was especially severe. In her desperation, she could only come to Sea God Island to seek her teacher's help.
"No, the airflow in that dragon phantom's mouth is absorbing my Evil Fire!" Ma Xiaotao had just wanted to flee when she discovered in astonishment that the Evil Fire erupting from within her was rapidly being stripped from her body.
Yan Shaozhe, who had rushed over, saw this as well. He stopped himself from intervening and quietly watched from the side.
The azure airflow from the Azure Dragon's mouth continuously tore the blood-red flames from Ma Xiaotao's body before swallowing them. In less than ten seconds, all the Evil Fire enveloping Ma Xiaotao had been devoured completely.
When the final trace of Evil Fire was swallowed, the Azure Dragon's body gradually began to dissipate, ultimately returning to Qin Ze's body as he lay there with his eyes tightly shut.
Without the Azure Dragon's support, Qin Ze plunged straight down.
"A Ze!" Xiao Kuangdao hurriedly flashed over and caught Qin Ze.
Nearby, Ma Xiaotao raised her hands and stared at them. She could not believe that her Evil Fire had actually been devoured. Moreover, for the first time, she felt refreshed, free of any burden.
"The aura of Extreme Wood." Yan Shaozhe turned his head to look at the unconscious Qin Ze and muttered inwardly. He had lived for nearly a hundred years, yet this was his first time seeing someone with Extreme Wood.
It was far rarer than Extreme Fire or Extreme Ice.
Wood represented Life!
Unlike the Life represented by light, the Life of wood was purer.
But that was not the key point. What truly astonished Yan Shaozhe was the Auspicious Aura emitted by that dragon phantom.
Several figures flew over from afar, their eyes also carrying traces of shock.
"Xiaotao, how do you feel?" Yan Shaozhe walked over to Ma Xiaotao's side.
Ma Xiaotao looked up at her teacher and said, "Very relaxed. There isn't the slightest burden left."
"Although your Evil Fire has not been completely eradicated, its point of eruption has been greatly restrained. You can safely cultivate all the way to the Soul King realm now," Yan Shaozhe said.
"Really?" Delight appeared on Ma Xiaotao's face. However, Yan Shaozhe's expression hardened, becoming extremely stern.
Ma Xiaotao froze for a moment, then remembered something and lowered her head apologetically.
"Your teacher told you that the Ancient Ice Crystal's energy had already been exhausted. You were not to cultivate for the time being, but you just wouldn't listen. This time, you nearly caused a great disaster." Yan Shaozhe earnestly lectured Ma Xiaotao.
"I'm sorry, Teacher!" Ma Xiaotao replied softly.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head, then looked toward Xiao Kuangdao and said, "Senior, how is he?"
At this, Xiao Kuangdao's face darkened. "My disciple nearly died at your Shrek Academy. How do you think he is?"
Knowing he was at fault, Yan Shaozhe could only smile awkwardly.
Whoosh!
Several figures descended from the sky and landed beside Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe happened to spot one of the pavilion elders. His eyes lit up as he said, "Elder Zhuang, you came at just the right time. Senior Xiao's disciple has fallen unconscious. Please take a look at him."
The several pavilion elders looked at Qin Ze with varying expressions, while the elder called Elder Zhuang stepped forward.
Xiao Kuangdao recognized him: Life Douluo, whose Martial Soul was the Life Tree, a Support Type healing Douluo with extraordinary restorative abilities.
Elder Zhuang walked up to Qin Ze. A dazzling green radiance spread from his right hand, and a tree brimming with vigorous vitality grew forth.
As a Yellow Soul Ring lit up, faint green fluorescence flowed from the Life Tree, and countless specks of light entered Qin Ze's body.
Qin Ze's abdomen was illuminated by the fluorescence, while dense life energy continuously circulated within him.
A few seconds later, Elder Zhuang withdrew his Martial Soul and said, "This child is fine. He will awaken within an hour at most. However, even I cannot tell why he fell unconscious."
Hearing this, Xiao Kuangdao relaxed somewhat.
The other pavilion elders and Yan Shaozhe, however, were startled. Even Elder Zhuang could not determine the exact cause.
"Shao Zhe, bring Mad Saber Douluo and his disciple to the Sea God Pavilion!" Just as Yan Shaozhe was surprised, a gentle voice came from nowhere.
"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe had not expected this matter to alarm his teacher as well.
But since his teacher had spoken, he immediately said to Xiao Kuangdao, "Senior Xiao, could you come with us to the Sea God Pavilion? My teacher wishes to see you."
"Your teacher?" Xiao Kuangdao paused, then recalled something. His expression changed as he muttered inwardly, He's still alive?
"Fine!" Xiao Kuangdao agreed.
Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe led the way toward the Sea God Pavilion.
The pavilion elders followed as well. What they wanted to know most now was where that Auspicious Aura had come from.
Of course, Ma Xiaotao was also carried along by one of the pavilion elders. Her face was filled with guilt at that moment; she knew she had harmed this little boy.
The group's flight toward the Sea God Pavilion also drew the attention of many Inner Court disciples. They had heard that dragon's roar clearly just now, and they had also sensed an especially gentle aura, though they could not identify it.
Other than Qin Ze and Ma Xiaotao, everyone in the group was a Titled Douluo, so their speed was naturally extremely fast. Before long, they arrived before the Sea God Pavilion.
It was also Xiao Kuangdao's first time seeing the Sea God Pavilion.
It was a three-story building. The structure itself was brown and entirely wooden, its ancient simplicity carrying a trace of age. Looking closely, one could also discover that the wood of the building had a luster resembling oil.
The three-story building was only about ten meters tall. It possessed no grand or majestic feeling and even looked utterly ordinary, like a common town residence. Yet directly above its first-floor entrance hung a black plaque, and three large gilded characters marked its identity: Sea God Pavilion.
Just as Xiao Kuangdao was still marveling at how the Sea God Pavilion could look like this, the three-story building suddenly erupted with Golden Light. Soon, the Sea God Pavilion's original brown color vanished, and what reappeared before Xiao Kuangdao was a building seemingly forged from pure gold.
Dense Light Aura formed countless halos floating outside the Sea God Pavilion, and the gentle aura made one feel relaxed from the depths of the heart.
"Come in!" The gentle voice came from within the Sea God Pavilion. Xiao Kuangdao took a deep breath and silently thought, As expected, it's him—the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En!
