Two Refinements, Ma Xiaotao

Before Wang Dong could rush over to teach Huo Yuhao a lesson.

A dense blue mist began to spread from Huo Yuhao's body.

Wang Dong sat back down on her bed, fuming.

"Damn Huo Yuhao, I hope the Profound Water Pills make you burst to death!"

Huo Yuhao's soul power level began to break through.

Nineteenth level!

Twentieth level!

Then it began to drop rapidly.

Twentieth level!

Nineteenth level!

Eighteenth level!

Eleventh level!

After dropping to its lowest point, it began breaking through again.

Eleventh level!

Twelfth level!

Thirteenth level!

Until it reached twentieth level.

Then it dropped back to eleventh level.

Then it broke through again to sixteenth level.

"Huff..." Huo Yuhao exhaled a breath of stale air. "Not bad. Nine Profound Water Pills, refined twice."

"After six more refinements, this realm will be complete."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had finished absorbing them, Wang Dong hurriedly took out a yellow orb.

"This is a Soul Power Detector. Let me see your soul power level, or else..."

"Fine." Huo Yuhao did not refuse and picked up the Soul Power Detector.

Before long, two golden digits appeared on the Soul Power Detector.

16

"Sixteenth level?"

"How could you possibly be sixteenth level?!"

Wang Dong asked in disbelief.

She had thought Huo Yuhao was at least a level-thirty Soul Elder.

Yet she had never expected him to be only level sixteen.

Wang Dong asked doubtfully:

"You didn't use a Self-Created Soul Skill to conceal your level, did you?"

Huo Yuhao spread his hands and smiled. "Really, sixteenth level. I didn't lie to you."

"Yeah, right."

Wang Dong rolled her eyes.

She simply did not believe that Huo Yuhao, who could fight Xu Sanshi to a standstill.

Could be only level sixteen.

Night fell.

Inside the dormitory.

Huo Yuhao slept soundly.

Wang Dong crouched beside the bed, waving her little hands. "Hehehe."

"Huo Yuhao, you took advantage of me and made me call you that seven times for nothing."

"In a moment, I'll throw you into the toilet!"

As she spoke, her small hand reached for Huo Yuhao, but stopped forty centimeters away from him.

"How is this guy using a Self-Created Soul Skill even while sleeping?!"

Her scheme had failed, and Wang Dong glared at Huo Yuhao in frustration.

"Just you wait. One day, I'll show you how formidable I am!"

Early morning.

By Sea God Lake.

Wang Dong gazed at Sea God Lake in delight. "Wow! It's so beautiful!"

Huo Yuhao had a lollipop in his mouth. "It is."

Sea God Lake was breathtakingly beautiful. Looking into the distance, they could vaguely make out the outline of a giant tree.

Wang Dong stretched lazily. "Mmm! It feels so comfortable here! We really came to the right place!"

Huo Yuhao looked at the lake expectantly.

"Ma Xiaotao... I was rather looking forward to this."

"Huo Yuhao, do you see that?"

Wang Dong spotted someone on the lake and said with a smile, "Could that be a senior from the Inner Court?"

"So amazing. They can race across the lake without even releasing their Martial Soul."

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly. "Maybe they're here to cause us trouble?"

Wang Dong snapped, "Can you say something nice for once?!"

"Ah! So hot!!"

"That senior from the Inner Court is really charging at us."

"Huo Yuhao, you jinxed it!"

Before Wang Dong could finish speaking, a scorching heat rushed toward them.

"The temperature is rising way too fast! It's getting more and more terrifying!!"

"That person isn't normal! We need to get out of here!"

As Wang Dong spoke, she activated Martial Soul Possession, grabbed Huo Yuhao, and prepared to leave.

But she was still too slow. Before she could fly very far, blazing flames swept toward her back.

With one hand, Huo Yuhao flung Wang Dong aside. He slightly raised the other.

"Take a break. Leave this to me."

The flames froze in front of Huo Yuhao's palm.

Wang Dong froze for a moment, then said, "Huo Yuhao, hold on first. I'll go get someone."

With that, Wang Dong shot away in a flash.

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. "You're really not very principled. You just leave the moment you say you're leaving."

As he spoke, Ma Xiaotao, wearing a white mask and wrapped in blazing flames, lunged at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao stroked his chin and pondered:

"Should I use that move?"

"Call Brother Sky Dream? Forget it. I don't like being possessed by someone else."

"Then I'll use that move."

Huo Yuhao slightly raised his right hand, and a small red sphere appeared in his palm.

"Cursed Technique Reversal: Attribute Reversal!"

Huo Yuhao vanished. In the next instant, he appeared before Ma Xiaohong.

Without giving Ma Xiaotao time to react, Huo Yuhao struck her chest with his palm.

Bang!

Ma Xiaotao was sent flying backward.

The red sphere erupted inside Ma Xiaotao's body.

The scorching flames transformed into bone-piercing ice in an instant.

Ma Xiaotao, frozen into an ice sculpture, hung in midair, surrounded by flame-shaped ice.

"Easy enough."

Huo Yuhao smiled casually.

Not long after, Wang Dong returned with Zhou Yi.

After seeing that Huo Yuhao was unharmed, Zhou Yi reported the matter to the academy.

Soon, the academy sent someone to handle the matter.

"Forget everything you saw just now, or you will be expelled from the academy!"

"These two items are compensation for you. I trust you are both smart people."

"Remember! Forget everything you saw!"

After the teacher handling the matter left.

Wang Dong asked in confusion, "Huo Yuhao... what exactly was that?! We almost died!!"

Huo Yuhao held up one finger. "Correction: you almost died, not me."

"I suppressed her with one hand."

Wang Dong curled her lips speechlessly. "All you know is how to brag. She was frozen, and your Martial Soul is your eyes. Can your eyes shoot ice or something?"

Huo Yuhao could not be bothered to explain.

His Cursed Art: Attribute Reversal had directly reversed Ma Xiaotao's attributes.

So he had not actually frozen her.

It was more like Ma Xiaotao had frozen herself.

Wang Dong opened the box and froze for a moment. "Huh?"

"Wow! Soul-Raising Pills?! They're actually Soul-Raising Pills!!"

"Such valuable hush money!! Fine! I'll pretend nothing happened just now!!"

Wang Dong said excitedly.

Huo Yuhao extended his right hand, and Wang Dong asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "I saved you just now. Shouldn't you show some gratitude?"

Wang Dong shielded the Soul-Raising Pill and snapped, "I'm telling you, Huo Yuhao, don't even think about my Soul-Raising Pill, or I won't go easy on you."

She bared her teeth, looking like a little puppy guarding its food.

Huo Yuhao spread his hands helplessly.

Sea God Lake.

Heartlake Island.

"Xiaotao! This time, you nearly committed a grave mistake and almost killed two Outer Academy students."

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to Ma Xiaotao, Yan Shaozhe spoke.

Ma Xiaotao lightly held her forehead. "Ugh... I'm sorry. I thought I could control the Evil Fire inside my body..."

Yan Shaozhe said, "The more you suppress your Evil Fire, the more violently it will erupt. From now on, put your cultivation on hold..."

"Although you are the academy's greatest genius in centuries, the academy cannot let you be ruined because of it!"

Ma Xiaotao said firmly, "No! Teacher, I want to cultivate! The Evil Fire in my body seems to have been completely suppressed for the time being!"

"I don't know what kind of ability it was, but it could actually suppress my Evil Fire Phoenix."

Yan Shaozhe explained, "It was an extremely ultimate ice-attribute ability, so pure that it rivaled your Phoenix Evil Fire."

"It was somewhat similar to the Ancient Ice Dragon's Absolute Ice Breath."

"It suppresses your Evil Fire better than every method we have tried!"
