Fierce Beast Soul Bone, Taixu Sound-Suppressing Hou!

Yan Shaozhe's voice was somewhat hoarse. This Super Douluo, who could summon wind and rain across the continent, found his hands trembling uncontrollably at this moment.

"In the end, it turned into this state."

"Do you still have a way to save Xiaotao? As long as she can be preserved, I am willing to pay any price!"

Looking at Ma Xiaotao in the center of the hall, who was almost completely swallowed by black-red flames, Xiao Yan let out a long sigh.

This sigh, falling into Yan Shaozhe's ears, was no different from a death sentence.

Yan Shaozhe's eye sockets turned red instantly, and his vision became blurred.

His entire body seemed to have been drained of all strength; his shoulders slumped dejectedly. He stumbled half a step forward, looking at his disciple struggling in agony, his voice choked with sobs.

"Xiaotao, it is Teacher who has harmed you!"

Just as Yan Shaozhe's spirit was on the verge of collapse, Mu En, who had been hunched over, suddenly exerted his strength.

The dazzling soul power of the Radiant Sacred Dragon poured out from the Sea God Pavilion Master without reservation.

Blinding golden light instantly filled the entire hall. The pure power of light transformed into tangible chains, winding layer upon layer around Ma Xiaotao's body.

Accompanied by a series of dense, explosive sounds, those black-red evil flames that had originally invaded her internal organs and even attempted to taint her Sea of Consciousness were forcibly stripped away, compressed, and finally sealed tightly deep within her dantian by this vast power.

Ma Xiaotao's twisted features finally relaxed a little, and her originally rapid, agonizing breathing gradually stabilized. Although she remained unconscious, she had at least escaped the fate of being eroded by the evil flames and becoming an Evil Soul Master, and her life had been preserved.

After finishing all this, Mu En coughed violently several times, his originally bright eyes revealing deep exhaustion.

He turned around slowly to look at Xiao Yan, who was standing not far away, and squeezed a gentle smile onto his furrowed, aged face.

"Xiao Yan, we meet again." Mu En's voice carried the calmness of one who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"I just didn't expect that before you could come to the Sea God Pavilion for your own affairs, it is we who need your help now."

Mu En pointed to Ma Xiaotao on the ground, his tone sincere.

"From here on, you only need to do your best. Regardless of the final outcome, we will never hold you responsible. Even if you fail, the conditions previously promised to you still stand; you may still take a 100,000-year soul bone from the Sea God Pavilion's treasury as your reward."

Hearing this Ultimate Douluo lower his posture so much, Xiao Yan naturally understood the other party's sincerity.

No liability and a free 100,000-year soul bone—this deal was an irresistible temptation for any soul master.

However, he knew very well in his heart that in the face of these fully erupted evil flames, this stake was not enough.

"Elder Mu." Xiao Yan stepped forward, looking directly into Mu En's eyes, and laid out the stakes without reservation.

"If this were three months ago, even if her evil flames had gone berserk, I would have had a hundred percent certainty of evolving her martial soul into the Ultimate Fire without suffering any damage myself. But the current situation is somewhat difficult."

He pointed to the black-red seal that was still pulsing incessantly at Ma Xiaotao's dantian.

"The energy of those fire-attribute heavenly treasures has been completely devoured by the evil flames. This mass of evil flames has not only grown several times stronger but has also undergone mutations, carrying extremely strong erosive properties and a counter-attack instinct. If I were to forcibly use my zither music to comb through and suppress it now, these mutated evil flames might take advantage of the sound waves and energy flow to backlash and enter my body. Once contaminated by such filthy and violent things, it will inevitably hinder my cultivation in the future."

Hearing this statement from Xiao Yan, not only did Mu En and Yan Shaozhe not show a hint of frustration, but their eyes actually lit up at the same time.

They didn't fear difficulty; they only feared having no solution.

Since Xiao Yan could analyze the risks and the paths of backlash so thoroughly, it meant he already had a plan for solving the problem in his mind!

This kid wasn't unable to cure her; he just disliked the high risks involved and felt the reward offered by the Sea God Pavilion wasn't heavy enough!

Yan Shaozhe immediately turned his head, casting an eager gaze toward his teacher.

Without wasting a single word, Mu En raised his withered right hand and gently sliced through the void in front of him.

Space cracked open, revealing a black fissure.

Accompanied by a low dragon roar and strange sonic booms, a right arm bone exuding a powerful aura drifted slowly from the crack.

The moment this soul bone appeared, the air in the hall became incomparably heavy.

It did not possess the luster of jade or metal like ordinary soul bones; instead, its entire body presented a deep, dark purple, and the surface of the bone was covered with silver patterns rotating like nebulae.

Most strangely, the area around this soul bone was constantly accompanied by subtle spatial distortions and silent ripples of sound waves.

Xiao Yan's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

With his immense spiritual power, he instantly sensed that the pressure emitted by this soul bone far exceeded that of ordinary 100,000-year soul bones, and it even carried a vast, ferocious nature belonging to an ancient soul beast.

He knew it—with Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year heritage, the depths of the Sea God Pavilion must surely hide truly good things.

Watching Xiao Yan's shining eyes, Mu En held it in his palm and slowly recounted its origin.

"This is a 300,000-year fierce beast-level Taixu Sound-Suppressing Hou right arm bone."

Mu En's voice echoed in the hall, carrying a reminiscence of past years.

"The Taixu Sound-Suppressing Hou was a rare, fierce beast that existed in ancient times, naturally mastering the dual laws of space and sound waves. This soul bone was encountered by my grandmaster by chance. That fierce beast was very likely the last one on the Douluo Continent."

"The Taixu Sound-Suppressing Hou was extremely ferocious and possessed a strong sense of territory. Upon discovering humans stepping into its domain, it immediately launched a sonic strangulation. My grandmaster was already an Ultimate Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent at the time and did not wish to fight such a heaven-and-earth anomaly to the death, but the beast was relentless. In the end, my grandmaster exhausted all his strength to kill it and obtained this right arm bone."

Speaking of this, Mu En sighed long and hard.

"But the price of that battle was too tragic. The source sound waves of the beast before it died shattered my grandmaster's physical foundation. As an Ultimate Douluo, he should have had a lifespan of several hundred years, but because of the severe injuries, he passed away early before reaching one hundred. This soul bone thus became a forbidden item sealed by the Sea God Pavilion, and successive pavilion masters could never find a suitable candidate to inherit it."

Mu En pushed the dark purple soul bone in his hand forward, stopping it in front of Xiao Yan.

"Your martial soul is an ancient zither; this soul bone is practically tailor-made for you. Its two soul bone skills are both of the domain type, and their power is the greatest I have ever seen in my life."

"The first soul skill is called 'Void: Immeasurable'. This is a rare spatial control domain. Once deployed, you can influence and even dominate the surrounding space. It will significantly deepen your perception and understanding of spatial power, allowing you to master the arts of spatial folding, tearing, and shifting without any obstruction."

"The second soul skill is called 'Suppression of Sound - Ten Thousand Laws'. This is a domain that purely dominates sound and vibration. Within the coverage of the domain, you forcibly control the frequency of all sounds and vibrations. It can multiply and amplify the effects of your zither music while suppressing all of the enemy's soul power and attacks transmitted through vibrations."

Mu En looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes filled with sincerity.

"Is this reward enough to match the risks you have to take?"
