Ma Xiaotao's Kiss

"Ah! Okay." Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. She released her arms from around Bei Bei, and upon sensing that the Evil Fire within her body had vanished without a trace, she couldn't help but feel incredibly excited.

Almost completely drained, Bei Bei was unsteady on his feet and nearly collapsed to the ground.

Ma Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward to support him, helping him to sit down.

"The Evil Fire within your martial soul origin still requires a few more purifications before the evil energy can be completely eradicated," Bei Bei said.

"But you don't need to worry. You can cultivate as you please from now on; with me here, nothing will go wrong."

With the Eye of Life, his internal soul power was recovering rapidly under the influence of the dense life energy.

"Thank you for your hard work. Thanks to you, I can finally be completely free from the torment of the Evil Fire," Ma Xiaotao said excitedly, her beautiful eyes shimmering like autumn water.

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao leaned in, and her bright red lips landed on Bei Bei's cheek.

"I don't have anything good to thank you with, so this is my first kiss—I'll give it to you," Ma Xiaotao whispered in Bei Bei's ear.

"Heh, I thought you were going to offer yourself to me," Bei Bei teased.

"Even if I were willing, would you dare to accept? Sister Zhang Lexuan wouldn't let you off!" Ma Xiaotao pouted coquettishly.

The secret chamber soon fell into silence.

Bei Bei sat cross-legged to the side, slowly recovering his expended soul power.

Ma Xiaotao, meanwhile, felt the changes in her martial soul; she could sense that the Evil Fire within her was indeed much less than before.

For the next few months, she could cultivate and battle with all her might without having to worry about the risk of losing control.

Moreover, her dark red Phoenix Fire had become a bit brighter, and its power had increased significantly.

The power of her flames was already close to Ultimate Fire; presumably, after the evil energy was completely purified, her martial soul would also be able to become an Ultimate martial soul!

Having recovered somewhat, Bei Bei slowly stood up. It was very hot here, and he was quite uncomfortable, so he prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Bei Bei said to Ma Xiaotao, "I will come to purify your martial soul origin every month from now on. In about a year, you will never have to worry about the torment of the Evil Fire again."

"Okay." Ma Xiaotao nodded and said, "I'm usually cultivating here, so just come find me when the time comes."

She planned to cultivate with all her might for the next period, striving to make up for the progress she had delayed while suppressing the Evil Fire.

After responding, Bei Bei left the place.

For the next period, Bei Bei remained in a state of cultivation. After his martial soul acquired the Ultimate attribute, Bei Bei did indeed feel that his cultivation speed was much slower.

He sensed that every time he absorbed the heaven and earth energy from the outside world through his martial soul, the converted soul power became more refined, and the time required was significantly longer than before.

Thanks to this, the power of his soul power was significantly enhanced and contained the attribute of Ultimate Light.

Perhaps this was the reason why soul masters with Ultimate attributes had slow cultivation in the early stages.

Furthermore, he fused the three powers of light, divinity, and thunder contained within his martial soul into one, forming a stronger power that Bei Bei called the Judgment Power!

Having succeeded in this attempt, Bei Bei was even more excited and began trying to combine different attributes to form a unique power exclusive to himself.

Early morning.

As Bei Bei prepared to head to the Gravity Chamber for his daily cultivation, he noticed that Tang Ya, who lived next door, was somewhat dejected.

Ever since her parents died, Tang Ya had been cultivating diligently, and usually, he wouldn't see her figure all day long.

Since they had known each other for a while, Bei Bei walked up and asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

"What is your soul power level now?" Tang Ya looked up at the approaching Bei Bei and suddenly asked.

"A four-ring Soul Ancestor, why?" Bei Bei was a bit puzzled, but answered anyway.

"What! You're only twelve! And your strength is already this high!" Tang Ya felt a bit discouraged. "I'm only a year younger than you, yet I'm only a two-ring Soul Grand Master."

"You wouldn't happen to be doubting your own talent, would you? Is that why you're so unhappy?" Bei Bei asked tentatively.

"Mm." Tang Ya nodded, her eyes turning slightly red. She looked pitiful, her petite frame appearing exceptionally fragile.

Geniuses were everywhere in the Inner Court; not to mention Bei Bei, even Zhang Lexuan was only in her twenties, and in less than two years, her cultivation would reach the Soul Douluo level.

Then there was Ma Xiaotao, who came to find Bei Bei from time to time. She was young, reaching the strength of a Soul King at fifteen, and had even passed the Inner Court assessment to become an Inner Court student.

Surrounded by these geniuses and monsters, Tang Ya had felt immense pressure in just over half a month.

Tang Ya's Innate Soul Power wasn't very good, and her martial soul was only Blue Silver Grass. Her potential could be seen at a glance; the further she cultivated, the slower her progress would be, until she reached the limit of her martial soul and could no longer improve by even a fraction.

"The students of Shrek Academy are all geniuses, and being able to enter the Inner Court makes them geniuses among geniuses. You don't need to compare yourself to us," Bei Bei tried to comfort her.

"Perhaps you should set your sights on those ordinary students in the Outer Court. Many of them were only at level ten or so when they were twelve. Besides, the fact that you can cultivate already puts you ahead of ninety percent of the people in the world. Do you feel better now that I've said that?"

"If you don't know how to comfort people, you can shut up," Tang Ya said, quite dissatisfied. She had never met someone with such a biting tongue; although it was the truth, it was still very hurtful.

"Uh." Bei Bei pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to increase your cultivation speed or unearth your own potential, I might have a way."

"Re... really!" Tang Ya said, somewhat agitated, as if a dying person had seen a glimmer of hope.

"This matter has both pros and cons. Are you sure you won't regret it?" Bei Bei's lips curled up in a meaningful smile.

"I will never regret it." Tang Ya stood up quickly, her eyes resolute, her tone firm and solemn.

"Follow me." Bei Bei led Tang Ya in a certain direction, speaking slowly as they walked.

"As everyone knows, Blue Silver Grass is a trash martial soul. The chances of it having Innate Soul Power are slim to none, and the vast majority only have half a level or one level."

Tang Ya followed behind Bei Bei, listening to his words, and couldn't help but retort, "My Innate Soul Power was level six, and when my father awakened his, he also had level five."

Bei Bei smiled. "Your Tang Sect is an exception. For ten thousand years, the sect masters have all had the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Through the accumulation of various resources, although your martial soul is still Blue Silver Grass, its quality has improved significantly without you realizing it. Even so, its essence remains weak."

"Is there really no way for Blue Silver Grass to become strong?" Tang Ya asked, feeling somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"There is, but it's very difficult," Bei Bei continued. "The first way is to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, and the second is to cause the martial soul to mutate."
