Envy

"Yuhao, two Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit auras came from that place. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit you obtained from the Starry Sky Auction House being added to Ma Xiaotao."

"She was quite fortunate. With this new Martial Soul, she actually resolved the evil fire within her completely, allowing her original Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit to evolve into a true Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit."

With his powerful Mental Power, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm naturally sensed what had happened over at Sea God Island.

He could not help sighing with emotion. Ma Xiaotao's luck was indeed excellent.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew that throughout his long years of existence, he had never seen a human with such astonishing talent as possessing twin Ultimate Fire Martial Spirits.

Ma Xiaotao's future was limitless!

She would surely leave behind a legend of her own on the Douluo Continent.

Huo Yuhao looked into the distance, a trace of envy appearing in his eyes.

Twin Martial Souls, and both of them Ultimate Martial Spirits—such innate talent was truly enviable.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm naturally sensed Huo Yuhao's thoughts and immediately spoke to comfort him.

"Yuhao, don't worry. Although your Spirit Eye Martial Soul is not an Ultimate Martial Spirit, with me as your Million-Year Soul Ring, the power your Martial Soul can ultimately unleash definitely won't be inferior to an Ultimate Martial Spirit."

"I wasn't thinking too much about it. I'm just happy for Sister Xiaotao."

Huo Yuhao spoke to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with a sincere smile on his face.

Now that the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao had been resolved, she would no longer need to worry about it in the future and could make better use of her strength.

Moreover, with Ma Xiaotao around, the Shrek Seven Devils would become even stronger in the future.

"Yuhao, do you know what happened over there?"

Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao beside her. Seeing him staring into the distance as though lost in thought, she waved a hand before his face and continued questioning him.

"I roughly know what happened. Those two auras were both released by Ultimate Fire Martial Spirits..."

Just like that, Huo Yuhao recounted everything concerning the Starry Sky Auction House and the Ultimate Martial Spirit exactly as it had happened.

His voice was calm and powerful, bringing every detail vividly to life.

After a short while, once Wang Dong understood the entire sequence of events, unprecedented shock appeared in her eyes.

An Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit was being auctioned off?

Even with her extraordinary background, this was the first time she had heard of something so fantastical.

This was ridiculous!

Wang Dong suddenly thought of something and glared at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, you actually hid such major news from me! That was really not cool of you."

After saying that, Wang Dong crossed her arms over her chest and stood off to one side sulkily, ignoring Huo Yuhao.

From Huo Yuhao's description, she could easily imagine how grand the auction held by the Starry Sky Auction House had been. Yet Huo Yuhao had secretly gone by himself without telling her.

That was so disloyal.

"I only found out about it suddenly as well. I met Elder Mu on the way, and he directly took us to the Starry Sky Auction House. I didn't have time to notify you."

"Things were too urgent. There was no time for me to think about anything else."

Huo Yuhao explained with a bitter smile, his face full of helplessness.

Everything that happened at the time had been far too rushed. He had only learned what was truly going on after arriving at the Starry Sky Auction House.

"Fine, then. When will they hold their next auction? I want to go see it for myself."

Wang Dong had developed a strong interest in the Starry Sky Auction House. Her eyes gleamed with curiosity as she hurriedly asked about the next auction's date.

"According to the news released by the Starry Sky Auction House, they hold an auction once every month."

Huo Yuhao truthfully gave her the exact schedule.

"Alright. When the time gets close, remind me. Let's go to the inner courtyard and take a look at Sister Xiaotao's Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit."

After saying that, Wang Dong directly pulled Huo Yuhao toward Sea God Island, her steps hurried.

At the center of Sea God Island's inner courtyard, Ma Xiaotao had now completely fused her two Martial Souls.

Her former Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit and Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul transformed into a streak of red light and suddenly entered Ma Xiaotao's body like a meteor.

In an instant, a powerful aura erupted from within her. It was an aura at the Soul Sage level, spreading like surging tides and enveloping the entire inner courtyard.

After a moment, Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her eyes. Blazing light flickered within them, as though two flames were burning.

She discovered that the evil fire within her had completely vanished. Furthermore, because of this new Martial Soul, her Soul Power Level had successfully broken through to level seventy.

Ma Xiaotao was incomparably excited, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

"Xiaotao, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Mu En asked with concern, his eyes filled with care.

"Elder Mu, there's no problem at all. I've never felt better."

A confident smile bloomed across Ma Xiaotao's face.

She clenched her fists, feeling the powerful strength within her, and simultaneously released her Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul.

A massive crimson dragon carrying boundless Dragon Might circled the area. Its scales shone with dazzling light, while its whiskers fluttered in the wind.

That powerful Ultimate Attribute energy was like invisible pressure, filling everyone present with envy.

This was an Ultimate Martial Spirit!

It possessed power so immense that others could only gaze upon it from afar.

"Xiaotao, congratulations on successfully resolving the evil fire in your body and breaking through to level seventy in Soul Power Level."

Yan Shaozhe came to Ma Xiaotao's side and offered his congratulations.

Seeing his student grow to such a level, Yan Shaozhe was immensely gratified as well.

"I also have to thank Sea God Pavilion for giving me this opportunity."

Ma Xiaotao thanked Elder Mu and the others for their help, her eyes full of gratitude.

She knew that in order to obtain this Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit, the academy had paid a tremendous price. It had not only expended vast resources but also taken enormous risks.

"This was all the result of your own hard work!"

Mu En and the others replied with broad smiles.

At that moment, a young man slowly approached from the distance. When he saw the Soul Sage aura radiating from Ma Xiaotao, a trace of loneliness appeared in his eyes.

He was none other than the vice-captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Yueheng.

He had just emerged from seclusion when the academy's powerful aura startled him awake.

Upon arriving, he happened to see that Ma Xiaotao's Soul Power Level had somehow directly broken through to the Soul Sage realm.

Thinking of Ma Xiaotao's talent, he felt a sense of helplessness rise within him.

For all these years, he had been trying to catch up and competing with Ma Xiaotao. He had never expected her to reach the Soul Sage realm before him.

This gave him pressure unlike anything he had ever felt before.
