The Evil Fire Phoenix Dared to Be Arrogant? Snow Empress Taught Her a Lesson

Ma Xiaotao was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then she perked up completely, her previous languid demeanor vanishing.

"Really? Three?"

"Yes, a level 65 Soul Emperor, a level 45 Soul Elder, and a level 41 Soul Master. All three of them possess the Ultimate Ice attribute in their Martial Soul."

Ma Xiaotao grabbed Yan Shaozhe's sleeve with such force that she almost made him stumble.

"Teacher, where are they? Where are they now?"

" In the Outer Academy."

Yan Shaozhe quickly pulled his sleeve back.

"Don't worry, they've only just entered their second year. Once the Sea God Pavilion has completed the procedures, I'll arrange for you to meet with them."

"When will that be?"

Ma Xiaotao's tone was filled with undisguised anxiety.

The Evil Fire within her body had been troubling her for several years. Whenever she reached a bottleneck in her cultivation, that evil energy would backfire, burning her body with discomfort.

If Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice could help her suppress the Evil Fire, even if only temporarily, it would be a million times better than her enduring it on her own.

"Teacher, what's the name of that student from class 65?"

"Xue Qingyao, but Xiaotao, listen to me!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Ma Xiaotao nodded obediently, a smile on her face.

Yan Shaozhe felt something was off, but the Sea God Pavilion was pressing him hard, so he didn't have time to think about it further.

After giving a couple of instructions to "not act impulsively," he left in a hurry.

Ma Xiaotao stood at the door, watching Yan Shaozhe's figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

She went back inside and changed her shoes.

Then he pushed open the window and climbed out.

The Soul Guidance Department's teaching building.

Xian Lin'er led Dai Huabin and his group around for more than half an hour, from the advanced laboratory to the Soul Tool hall, and then to the theoretical teaching area, basically showing them all the places that needed to be introduced.

Snow Empress listened attentively throughout.

Her interest in Soul Tool was genuine. Back in the Far North, she had been trapped by the God Sealing Platform, and the feeling of having her origins bound by human methods left a deep impression on her.

She wanted to understand what principles humans used to achieve this.

Cui Yajie wasn't particularly interested in the intricate parts and blueprints, but when Xian Lin'er mentioned that "mental auxiliary Soul Tool can amplify the Charm effect," her interest was immediately piqued.

Ice Empress was so bored that they yawned three times throughout the entire event.

Just as Xian Lin'er was about to take everyone to see the last special laboratory, Qian Duoduo jogged over from behind and whispered a few words in Xian Lin'er's ear.

Xian Lin'er's expression changed slightly.

"The Sea God Pavilion Meeting? Now?"

Qian Duoduo nodded.

Xian Lin'er frowned and turned to look at Dai Huabin and the others.

"I'm sorry, something urgent has come up at the academy, I have to go there first. You two go back and rest today, I'll arrange the lessons for Qingyao and Yajie in detail another day."

"Please take care, Dean Xian Lin'er," Dai Huabin said politely.

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo left quickly, their steps hurried.

Zhu Lu watched the two figures disappear into the distance and muttered to herself, "Was the Sea God Pavilion Meeting because of us?"

"Most likely," Dai Huabin said as he walked outside, "That the simultaneous appearance of three Ultimate Ice has made Mu En uneasy."

"Who is Mu En?" Xiao Xiao tilted her head.

"The Sea God Pavilion Master is the one who truly calls the shots at the Shrek Academy."

Xiao Xiao opened her mouth slightly, but didn't ask any more questions.

The group left the Soul Guidance Department's teaching building and walked along the stone-paved path on campus towards their dormitory.

There weren't many people on campus in the evening, and the sounds of people cleaning up the Beast Arena could be faintly heard in the distance.

Dai Huabin walked in front, Zhu Lu followed closely behind, and Ice Empress and Snow Empress walked side by side behind.

At the very end, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Cui Yajie were chatting quietly about today's assessment.

When he reached the bend in the line connecting the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department, Dai Huabin stopped.

About twenty meters ahead, a woman in red was striding towards them.

She was tall and had a stunning figure, with long, fiery red hair that swayed behind her as she walked. Her face was covered by a red veil, revealing only her eyebrows and eyes.

The temperature around him noticeably rose a few degrees as she approached.

Dai Huabin recognized her at a glance.

Ma Xiaotao.

Evil Fire Phoenix. Inner Academy student, level 67 Soul Emperor, six Soul Rings.

Didn't Yan Shaozhe control her?

Dai Huabin sighed inwardly.

In the original novel, Ma Xiaotao had this kind of personality; when she got angry, she wouldn't listen to anyone.

"Xue Qingyao, is that right!"

Ma Xiaotao called out from afar, her voice clear but urgent.

Snow Empress continued walking, and slightly raised her head.

"Who are you?"

Ma Xiaotao walked up to her in a few steps, looked Snow Empress over, then glanced at Ice Empress, and finally her gaze returned to Snow Empress.

"My name is Ma Xiaotao, from the Inner Academy."

"Oh."

Snow Empress's reaction was as indifferent as if she were dismissing a passerby.

Ma Xiaotao didn't mind and spoke directly:

"I heard you're the Soul Emperor of Ultimate Ice?"

"Yes."

"That's great!"

Ma Xiaotao took a step forward.

"I'm suffering from a backlash of Evil Fire within me, and I need the power of Ultimate Ice to suppress it. Can you help me now?"

Snow Empress was completely stunned.

She felt quite uncomfortable with this rude woman.

"Sorry, I don't know you, I can't help you."

Ma Xiaotao's anxiety intensified.

"I know this request is sudden, but I really can't wait any longer. The backlash from the Evil Fire flares up every now and then, and if I don't suppress it as soon as possible, it will greatly affect my cultivation."

"That has nothing to do with me."

Snow Empress's answer was concise and to the point.

She wasn't being cold on purpose. Having lived in the Far North for so many years, she had seen far too many Soul Beast come to her for help.

Even if she begs, why should she help?

She helped Dai Huabin because Dai Huabin had saved her life.

She helped Ice Empress because Ice Empress and she were each other's only family.

The human girl in front of her had no relation to her.

Ma Xiaotao bit her lip.

She glanced back at Dai Huabin.

"Are you Dai Huabin? Could you ask your companion for a favor?"

Dai Huabin shrugged. "Xue'er her own wishes, I can't make that decision for her, and besides, you were indeed very rude."

That wasn't entirely an excuse.

The Snow Empress's personality is indeed not something he can easily command.

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath.

She had spent several years in the Inner Academy, and as Soul Emperor of level sixty-seven, she was already a top-tier figure among her peers.

She is not used to being rejected, especially when she feels her request is reasonable.

"What if I wanted to fight you?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at Snow Empress, her tone changing.

"You win, I won't bother you anymore. I win, you help me suppress this Evil Fire. Is that fair?"

Snow Empress remained silent.

Ice Empress chuckled beside them.

Ma Xiaotao frowned. "What are you laughing at?"

Ice Empress crossed her arms over her chest, her emerald green twin tails swaying slightly.

"Nothing, I just think you're pretty brave."

Zhu Lu gently tugged at Dai Huabin's sleeve and whispered:

Should we stop them?

Dai Huabin thought for a moment.

Ma Xiaotao is level 67, Evil Fire Phoenix, and has six Soul Rings.

Under normal circumstances, this is someone who could sweep aside all the students in the Outer Academy.

But her opponent is Snow Empress.

Although Snow Empress, who used the alias Xue Qingyao, only released her level 65 cultivation, her true form was the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North. In terms of combat experience and ice-type mastery, there were only a handful of people on the Douluo Continent who could rival her.

Furthermore, the Ultimate Ice has a natural attribute advantage against the Evil Fire Phoenix.

"No need to stop her." Dai Huabin took a step back. "Let Xue'er teach her a lesson."

Zhu Lu blinked and stepped back as well.

Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Cui Yajie looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Who's this? From the Inner Academy?" Xiao Xiao asked Cui Yajie in a low voice.

"I don't know... but it feels incredibly powerful."

Cui Yajie subconsciously activated her Purple Demon Eye for a moment, and then she gasped.

"The Soul Power fluctuations emanating from her are at least level sixty, and that heat..."

Wang Dong'er stared at Ma Xiaotao's retreating figure, her heart skipping a beat.

Soul Emperor above level 60 are considered experts even in the Inner Academy.

Although Xue Qingyao was also level 65, her opponent came from the Inner Academy and definitely had more practical combat experience.

She instinctively wanted to warn Snow Empress to be careful, but swallowed the words back.

Because Snow Empress's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

Seeing that Snow Empress remained silent, Ma Xiaotao assumed it was a pre-arranged assumption.

She took three steps back, spread her feet apart, and suddenly released her Soul Power.

Six Soul Ring rose from beneath her feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black.

A scorching wave of heat emanated from her, spreading outwards and instantly causing the roadside grass to curl and wither. A pair of illusory phoenix wings appeared behind her, with dark red flames flickering at their tips.

"I made the first move!"

Ma Xiaotao spread her arms and unleashed her First Soul Skill, "Phoenix Fire Line," a crimson beam of fire piercing the air and heading straight for Snow Empress's face.

Extremely fast speed, and at a tricky angle.

She didn't use her full strength in this attack, but it was more than enough to deal with a level 65 Outer Academy student.

Snow Empress stood still, without moving.

When the fire was three meters away from Snow Empress, she raised her right hand and gently pushed forward.

"Snow Dance Shining Sun."
