Ma Xiaotao's red eyes locked on Lin Ciyan, and the pain in his pupils almost overflowed.
Outside the barrier, the air is stagnant.
Several Shrek Academy teachers Soul Power were on the verge of drying up, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.
Zhang Lexuan pursed his lips and tightened his fingers unconsciously.
Lin Ciyan retracted his hand from the barrier and took a step forward.
"Teacher Chen, remove the barrier." His tone was as normal as if he was saying that the weather is good today, "Everyone, just stay alert."
The teachers of the college frowned, their eyes swept over the faces of Lin Ciyan and Zhang Lexuan, their Adam's apple rolled twice, and finally they nodded. "Withdraw!"
The translucent barrier began to shrink and fade, the dark red heat wave hit the face again, and the scorched earth on the ground evaporated and twisted ripples.
Lin Ciyan walked in.
He stood five steps away from Ma Xiaotao. The flames around Ma Xiaotao were of varying brightness, a suppressed roar rolled in his throat, and vigilance and madness were tugging in his red eyes.
"Look at me." Lin Ciyan spoke, his voice clear and clear through the scorching air waves, "You are fighting with yourself."
He raised his right hand with his index finger erect.
Golden, green, blue, red and yellow brilliance flows from the fingertips, and the red is slightly bright. A wisp of fire element is extracted from the hot air, and condenses into a small cluster of steadily jumping flames at the fingertips.
"Fire is a natural ability, it is not here to torture you." Lin Ciyan looked at the cluster of flames.
"You're afraid of it, you suppress it, and you can't live without it - it's so twisted, and it has its own problems, so the fever makes you in pain and crazy."
Ma Xiaotao's pupils shrank a bit.
"So it's not the fire that needs to be cured, it's you." Lin Ciyan put down his hand, "You have to learn... to relax."
"Loose..." Ma Xiaotao's voice was hoarse and broken, "As soon as you loosen it..."
"That's because you don't know how." Lin Ciyan shook his head.
He spread his feet shoulder-width apart, his knees slightly bent, and his hands naturally dropped in front of his lower abdomen - an ordinary standing posture without Soul Power fluctuations.
"First, take care of your breathing." His voice slowed down, with a certain steady rhythm, "Don't worry about the fire, just inhale... the cool air comes in; exhale... the hot air goes out a little. Circle."
Ma Xiaotao closed his red eyes and tried. At first, his breathing was rough and chaotic, but after a few cycles, he gradually became rhythmic.
"Yes." Lin Ciyan nodded, "Now, think of your Soul Power as a river. Evil Fire is the whirlpool reef in the river - don't build a dam or block it, or it will collapse. Following the rhythm of your breathing, let out a wisp of the gentlest Soul Power, like opening a small channel, and gently bypass the whirlpool, or... touch the edge of the whirlpool to make it turn slower."
As he spoke, the harmonious breath of Holy Radiance Qilin Martial Soul quietly spread out, mixed with the "moisture" and spiritual comfort that had penetrated before, weaving an invisible guidance field around Ma Xiaotao.
This is not treatment, it is teaching her to find a way to breathe on her own when she is on the verge of losing control.
Ma Xiaotao Start trying.
The first wisp of Soul Power was washed away as soon as it came out. The second wisp, the third wisp... Gradually, with the help of the invisible guidance, she caught a certain feeling.
The dark red flame that disappeared from her body began to rise and fall with her breathing.
The disturbing dark impurities in the flame seemed to have faded by half.
"Hold it." Lin Ciyan's voice held the scene firmly, "Remember this feeling. Next time the fire breaks out, the first reaction is not to hold on, but to relax, find your breath, and try to induce. Your will is still there, but the method must change from 'pressing' to 'leading'."
Time passes.
Ma Xiaotao The Hell Furnace-like burning in his body was still there, but the sharp pain tearing at his sanity created a gap for breathing.
The flames around her began to shrink, gradually retracting from the violent form of fangs and claws, and the color also changed from dark red to a purer red.
The painful and ferocious lines on his face relaxed, and his tense body relaxed slightly.
Finally, all the flames were absorbed into the body. Ma Xiaotao landed on his feet and took a staggering step before he stood firm.
She opened her eyes, and most of the redness had faded away, leaving some bloodshot eyes, but her eyes were clear.
She looked at Lin Ciyan, opened her mouth without making a sound, just took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
It's done.
There was dead silence outside the barrier.
Several teachers Soul Power were so relieved that they almost collapsed on the ground, with expressions on their faces that they had seen a ghost.
Evil Fire, who had troubled Inner Court for many years and gave even the elders a headache, went berserk... was he just pushed back by a Outer Court student using a set of "Breathing Method" that looked like health exercises?
Zhang Lexuan The eyelashes trembled slightly, the hand that was originally clenched loosened, and the fingertips were still a little numb.
She knew that Lin Ciyan had many methods, but the impact of seeing such a difficult problem solved with such ease was still too strong.
After a moment of silence, the crowd of onlookers burst into buzzing discussions, and their eyes of surprise, curiosity, and disbelief were all fixed on Lin Ciyan's back.
At this moment, a majestic and urgent voice came through the air. "What's the situation?!"
A golden stream of light swept from the direction of the city, revealing a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with gold patterns, an elegant face but sharp eyes.
He has a tall and straight figure, with long hair tied neatly behind his head, and a few strands of silver looming on his temples.
After landing, he quickly looked around the scene - the charred ground, Soul Power teachers who were overdrawn, Ma Xiaotao who was obviously weak but conscious.
Finally, his eyes fell on the calm-looking young man in the field.
Martial Soul Department, dean, Yan Shaozhe, level ninety-five Super Douluo, Bright Phoenix Douluo.
"Dean!" Chen Hong quickly stepped forward and quickly reported the incident, focusing on Lin Ciyan's incredible "Breathing Guidance Method".
Yan Shaozhe listened, his eyes never leaving Lin Ciyan.
The eyes were so hot that they were almost material, filled with shock, scrutiny, and the ecstasy of discovering a rare treasure.
Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire problem is Martial Soul Department's problem. He has tried many methods over the years, but the results have been limited. Now there is a turnaround, and it is in this way that is almost "child's play" but has amazing results!
Lin Ciyan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at. He raised his hand and touched his nose, then looked away and looked at the old tree next to him that had survived the disaster - the bark was cracked and there were wisps of green smoke coming out.
"Junior brother." Yan Shaozhe spoke, his voice softened, but the burning heat remained, "You always surprise people."
He took two steps forward, his eyes shifted between Lin Ciyan and Ma Xiaotao, and finally settled back on Lin Ciyan's face. "What is the principle of the method just now? Can it cure Xiaotao's Martial Soul problem?"
"Senior brother." Lin Ciyan nodded in response to the title of senior brother, "The principle is what the student just said. As for the root cause..."
He hesitated, "The student's cultivation is still shallow, so I can only provide some relief and guidance ideas."
"The root problem of Senior Sister Ma's Martial Soul is complex, involving the essential variation of energy and spiritual compatibility. I'm afraid it requires more in-depth research and... well, stronger strength."
He didn't finish what he said and left plenty of room.
Yan Shaozhe looked at him deeply, did not ask any more questions, and instead said, "This matter is of great importance. You come with me, Sea God Pavilion, there are a few teachers over there who want to hear the details."
He paused, looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was still weak, and softened his tone. "Xiaotao, you go back to Inner Court to recuperate and stabilize your mind. Practice the techniques taught by Junior Brother Lin today."
Ma Xiaotao nodded and glanced at Lin Ciyan again.
In those beautiful eyes with still bloodshot eyes, complex emotions surged - the joy of surviving the disaster, the surprise of the method, and a trace of indescribable...
Lin Ciyan sighed inwardly, OK, there are many potential troubles.
He gave Zhang Lexuan a "reassuring" look, then followed behind Yan Shaozhe, walking towards the Sea God Pavilion building in Shrek City, which symbolizes the highest power of the college.
The crowd around them gradually dispersed, but today's "fire-fighting instruction" that subverted perceptions outside the east gate is destined to spread quickly throughout Shrek in various versions.
