Shrek City Outside the east gate, the originally wide official road was now filled to the brim with panicked crowds and city defense troops maintaining order.
At the front of the crowd, several Soul Masters wearing Shrek Inner Court teacher uniforms were releasing Soul Power with all their strength, forming a translucent Soul Power barrier, isolating an area from the outside world.
Within the barrier, blazing red light shot up into the sky, turning half of the sky crimson. Even across the barrier, the terrifying high temperature still made the people outside sweat profusely and retreat.
In the center of the barrier, a fiery red figure was suspended in the air. It was none other than Inner Court, the genius disciple Ma Xiaotao!
Her originally beautiful face was now distorted by pain, and her eyes were as red as blood, full of violence and chaos.
The dark red flames were like an out-of-control angry dragon, spurting out of her body uncontrollably, forming a violent fire storm around her, constantly impacting the surrounding Soul Power barriers.
Wherever the flames passed, the ground was charred and cracked, and the air was scorched and crackled.
Several Inner Court teachers (two Soul Douluo, three Soul Saint) were sweating on their foreheads, trying their best to maintain the barrier to prevent the flames from leaking out and injuring civilians.
But the flames of Ma Xiaotao were too violent, and carried an evil fluctuation that corroded the mind. Their Soul Power consumed a lot, and the barrier began to tremble slightly.
"Xiaotao! Calm down!" an older Soul Douluo teacher shouted sternly, trying to wake her up with her voice.
"Ho... ho..." Ma Xiaotao roared like a beast from his throat. There was only the desire for destruction in his red eyes, and it was obvious that he could no longer hear any words.
The Evil Fire in her body seemed to have completely exploded due to some kind of stimulation, burning not only her body, but also her sanity.
"This can't go on like this!" another teacher said anxiously.
"The temperature of her flames is still rising, and our barrier won't last long!"
"We must find a way to make her faint, or..."
Or something, he didn't say it.
But everyone present understood that if it was really beyond control, in order not to cause greater casualties.
Perhaps it can only be... beaten down and subdued.
Just as several teachers were hesitant and the barrier's light became increasingly dim, two figures pushed aside the crowd and quickly arrived at the edge of the barrier.
It is Lin Ciyan and Zhang Lexuan who just rushed back.
"It's Sister Zhang Lexuan Grandmaster! She's back!"
"Who is that next to her? It seems to be Outer Court, the famous Lin Ciyan?"
"Can they do it? Even a few teachers..."
There were low murmurs of discussion all around.
Zhang Lexuan, as the chief disciple of Inner Court, has a high prestige. Her appearance made everyone feel at ease, but when they saw next to her a young, even lazy Outer Court student, they couldn't help but feel doubtful.
When Zhang Lexuan saw the situation of Ma Xiaotao inside the barrier, she frowned and a look of worry flashed in her eyes.
Although she and Ma Xiaotao are not close friends, they are both top geniuses of Inner Court, and they are quite familiar with each other.
Ma Xiaotao This Evil Fire problem has been bothering me for a long time, but it has never been so serious and out of control.
And what about Mu En and Dean Yan?
Lin Ciyan's gaze directly penetrated the violent flames and fell on Ma Xiaotao.
In his perception, the situation inside Ma Xiaotao's body is worse than it appears.
Ultimate Fire... No, it is Ultimate Fire that has undergone a malignant mutation and is biased toward chaos and destruction.
The flame itself is of extremely high quality, but it cannot be perfectly integrated with her own Martial Soul (Evil Fire Phoenix) origin. Instead, it has formed some kind of opposition and conflict.
What's even more troublesome is that this Heavenly Flames flame seems to be mixed with some kind of negative spiritual energy, which is constantly burning and polluting her soul, amplifying her pain and mania...
No wonder those teachers are helpless and rely solely on Soul Power suppression, which treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and may instead provoke a more violent counterattack.
He quickly analyzed in his mind, and at the same time, the system in Sea of Consciousness also provided auxiliary judgment.
[Beep! A special energy behemoth 'Mutated Ultimate Evil Fire' has been detected. Energy rating: A+ (extremely dangerous, continuing to deteriorate).]
[Analysis: The target body's memory has mixed energy with the three attributes of 'Fire', 'Evil' and 'Crazy', causing a dual mental and energy disorder. Conventional suppression methods are ineffective.]
[Recommended solution (based on the host's existing capabilities):
1. Penetrate with the properties of 'Five Elements Rotation·Hydration' to perform preliminary energy cooling and neutralization (requires a deep understanding of the 'fire' attribute).
2. Use the sacred spirit of 'Grace of Bathing Light' to soothe and purify the negative energy that corrodes the spiritual body.
3. Use the pure extreme cold breath of 'Ice and Fire Leaf Sheath (ice)' as a guide to establish a temporary channel to guide some of the violent fire attribute overflow (risk: it may aggravate energy conflicts and requires fine control).]
[Special reminder: This is an excellent stage to showcase the host's 'Relaxation Cultivation' concept and 'Five Elements reconciliation' ability. Pretending, ah no, it's an opportunity to 'build a reliable character'!]
Lin Ciyan: "..."
The system exposed your last sentence.
However, you are right, this operation is stable, and you can earn enough favors and attention.
He turned to Zhang Lexuan and whispered, "Sister Grandmaster, you just broke through and Soul Power is unstable. Don't rush in yet. I'll try."
Zhang Lexuan originally wanted to enter together, but after hearing the words, he hesitated for a moment. Thinking of Lin Ciyan's endless weird methods and his demonic understanding and control of energy, he finally nodded. "Be careful, her flames are very dangerous."
"Don't do it for sex." Lin Ciyan gave her a reassuring look, and then walked towards the crumbling Soul Power barrier in a leisurely manner amid the astonished and puzzled eyes of everyone around her.
"That classmate! It's dangerous! Get away quickly!" A Soul Saint teacher who was maintaining the barrier shouted hurriedly.
Lin Ciyan seemed not to hear and walked straight to the barrier.
He did not forcefully break the barrier, but raised his right hand and gently pressed it against the light wall of the barrier.
In the palm of the hand, the brilliance of Five Elements flows, especially the blue light representing "water", which brings with it a trace of the pure cold air of Ice and Fire Leaf Sheath (ice).
"Five Elements Rotation·Hydrating, penetrating."
The soft water attribute Soul Power did not fight against the barrier, but like the most delicate water flow, quietly penetrated in along the gaps in the barrier energy.
This requires a meticulous control of Soul Power and a deep understanding of the principle of mutual generation and restraint of Five Elements to achieve this.
The moist air that penetrated did not directly attack the flames, but dispersed in the space inside the barrier like spring rain, quietly lowering the temperature of the air, and tried to contact the flames escaping from Ma Xiaotao's body surface to perform extremely gentle cooling and energy soothing.
Immediately afterwards, a faint light flashed faintly on Lin Ciyan's forehead.
A wisp of spiritual fluctuations containing the meaning of tranquility, healing and purification, mixed with the Soul Skill effect of Grace of Bathing Light, spans the space and gently flows towards the Ma Xiaotao chaotic Sea of Consciousness.
"Grace of Bathing Light·Spiritual comfort."
Finally, he quietly crushed one ten thousandth of the Ice and Fire Leaf Sheath (ice) in the storage space, drawing out a ray of extremely cold breath that was extremely pure, but was deliberately weakened by him, leaving only a cool and soothing aura.
Along with the moist air, it floats towards Ma Xiaotao.
Three steps together!
Outside the barrier, everyone only saw Lin Ciyan putting his hand on the barrier, and then the violent dark red flames inside the barrier suddenly stagnated like a bonfire with a basin of ice water poured on it!
The height, temperature, and ferocity of the flames began to decrease and converge at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"What?!"
"What did he do?!"
Several Inner Court teachers were inexplicably shocked. Evil Fire, which they could not suppress despite all their efforts, was actually... contained by this Outer Court student so lightly?
Within the barrier, Ma Xiaotao's red eyes fluctuated violently, and there was a moment of confusion and struggle in the violent and chaotic eyes.
The severe pain that burned the soul and the urge to destroy everything seemed to be slightly soothed by a cool and soft force.
The violent and conflicting energy in her body also seemed to be gently sorted out by an invisible hand. Although it was still violent, it was no longer chaotic and disorderly.
She reluctantly turned her stiff neck, and her blood-red eyes, through the gradually thinning flames, stared at the young man outside the barrier with a handsome face, a calm expression, and even a "it's not a big deal" expression.
A hoarse, dry, almost untuned voice came out of his throat, but it carried a kind of despair and hope like a drowning man grabbing onto driftwood:
"Can you... help me?"
The flames flickered around her body, reflecting her painful and expectant face.
