Chapter 51

The warmth that enveloped her made her drowsy, and gradually she lost consciousness and fell asleep.

In about twenty minutes, the Evil Fire in Ma Xiaotao's body had been completely transformed.

The process of going from barely suppressing the problem to complete transformation naturally takes longer.

"Hoo." Jiang Yi took a deep breath, retracting his Blue Silver Grass into his body, his face slightly pale.

The shift from suppressing the Evil Fire to transforming Evil Fire made things much easier for Jiang Yi, but the consumption of Soul Power was still significant.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao fast asleep, Jiang Yi stood up and opened the door to the cultivation room.

Chapter 80 Elder Zhuang's Surprise (Please continue reading!)

Elder Zhuang looked at Jiang Yi, who had opened the door, and asked, "Is it over?"

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "It's over."

Upon entering the cultivation room, Elder Zhuang checked on Ma Xiaotao's condition and was surprised to find that Ma Xiaotao Evil Fire had indeed been completely suppressed.

"There's no sign of injury, so how did this happen?"

The reason he came to Ma Xiaotao's place was because Yan Shaozhe asked him to help Ma Xiaotao heal her injuries.

Yan Shaozhe was referring to was a Soul Master with Holy Attribute who helped Ma Xiaotao suppress her Evil Fire, leaving her with injuries each time the fire was suppressed.

But now, the situation doesn't seem to be as Yan Shaozhe described.

Elder Zhuang asked with a smile, "Child, you possess the Holy Attribute. I wonder what your Martial Soul is?"

"My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass," Jiang Yi said.

"Blue Silver Grass?" Elder Zhuang was somewhat surprised.

Blue Silver Grass and Holy Attribute, this is a very unusual combination.

"So the Life Force just now was emitted by your Blue Silver Grass?" Elder Zhuang then asked.

"That's right."

Elder Zhuang immediately fell into deep thought, wondering what was going on. Finally, he looked up at Jiang Yi.

"I was asked to come and heal Xiaotao for the damage caused by the Holy Attribute, but now that the Evil Fire has been suppressed, Xiaotao doesn't have the expected injuries on her body."

"Why is this so? Would you be willing to tell me the answer?" Elder Zhuang asked with a smile.

Jiang Yi smiled inwardly; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Because when I helped Sister Xiaotao suppress her Evil Fire last time, I also realized that if I forcibly suppressed it, it would harm her."

"So I want to try to use Life Force to resolve the Evil Fire more gently while suppressing Evil Fire."

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhuang nodded slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

He had already used this method when he suppressed Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire.

However, the effect was minimal. With his powerful cultivation, once the Evil Fire was suppressed, an even more ferocious counterattack would occur.

"I just tried it and it worked," Jiang Yi said matter-of-factly.

"It succeeded just like that?" Elder Zhuang's mind went blank for a moment.

What do you mean by "successful"? That's completely different from his situation back then.

Shouldn't Life Force be immune to Evil Fire?

Jiang Yi spoke so easily, and judging from Ma Xiaotao's condition, he truly succeeded.

Why was that? This made him, a man who had used up his entire Life Force, extremely curious.

"Could I take a look at your Blue Silver Grass?" Elder Zhuang couldn't help but ask.

"May I ask what you do, Elder Zhuang?" Jiang Yi asked instead of answering immediately.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was unwilling to immediately reveal his Martial Soul, unable to contain his curiosity, he slightly puffed out his chest and said:

"I am a healing Soul Master, my Martial Soul is the Tree of Life, and I am a level 95 Super Douluo."

Jiang Yi immediately showed a surprised expression, then said, "So it's Super Douluo Majesty. I've been rude."

Elder Zhuang waved his hand and said, "That's not important. Now, can I see your Martial Soul?"

This time, Jiang Yi naturally released his Martial Soul.

Looking at the thick Blue Silver Vines in Jiang Yi's hand, Elder Zhuang couldn't help but pick it up and examine it closely.

"At only level 20, the Blue Silver Grass already possesses such powerful Life Force. The patterns on it even have golden lines; it must have mutated."

"Let the Life Force within the Blue Silver Grass be released," Elder Zhuang said, looking up.

In fact, even without Jiang Yi releasing his Life Force, he could use his spiritual power to check, but directly prying into someone else's Martial Soul was too presumptuous, and he wouldn't do such a thing.

Jiang Yi, who was following the plan, readily released his Life Force.

The Blue Silver Grass radiated light, and the golden threads seemed to come alive.

Elder Zhuang sensed this Life Force and discerned what was different about it.

He has been using and sensing the Life Force for decades, and he quickly found something different.

"His Life Force actually contained a trace of Fire Attribute, but this Fire Attribute did not damage his Life Force; on the contrary, it coexisted harmoniously with the Fire Attribute."

"Even helping each other grow?"

If he hadn't experienced it himself, Elder Zhuang would never have believed such a thing.

Jiang Yi's Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, which is completely opposed to Fire Attribute. How could the Life Force of Blue Silver Grass possibly possess Fire Attribute?

"Is this caused by Martial Soul Mutation? Allowing two completely contradictory attributes to coexist?"

"It must be this Life Force that can gently dispel the Evil Fire within Xiaotao's body."

Aside from the Martial Soul Mutation, Elder Zhuang couldn't find any other explanation for it.

Elder Zhuang took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Yi again, his eyes filled with surprise, curiosity, and admiration.

"Your Life Force is remarkable. I've studied Life Force for many years and believe I have quite a few insights."

"Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul follows the path of cultivating Life Force. Would you be willing to learn from me and become my student?"

He thought Jiang Yi would agree immediately, since he had already revealed his cultivation level.

However, Jiang Yi looked troubled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Zhuang, but I already have a teacher."

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhuang nonchalantly replied, "Who says a person can only have one teacher in their lifetime?"

"You have many teachers at the Shrek Academy, so just treat me like one of them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi knew that his goal had been achieved. Whether or not there was a master-disciple relationship was not important; as long as he could learn from him, that was enough.

"Greetings, teacher." Having said that, Jiang Yi wisely bowed respectfully to Elder Zhuang.

Elder Zhuang nodded in satisfaction, though he also had his own ulterior motives.

Even though Jiang Yi already has a teacher, his teacher's status and position are nowhere near as high as his.

When the time comes, most people will immediately think of Jiang Yi's teacher when the topic of his teacher comes up.

"Little Yi, after you go back, try to feel your own Life Force Duoduo."

"Your Outer Court has a day off every week. I'll have your senior brother bring you to the Inner Court on that day," Elder Zhuang instructed.

"Okay, teacher." Jiang Yi nodded and then left the training room.

Now that the Evil Fire had been dealt with, he naturally needed to hurry back to cultivate.

As for Elder Zhuang, he sat in the cultivation room, pondering Jiang Yi's incredible life energy.

Soon, Ma Xiaotao, who had fallen into a deep sleep, woke up.

Her eyes were filled with confusion. She had just fallen into a deep sleep and couldn't quite remember what had happened before she fell asleep.

"Xiaotao," Elder Zhuang called out from the side.

Upon hearing Elder Zhuang's voice, Ma Xiaotao hurriedly got out of bed.

"Elder Zhuang."

She called out and looked around for another figure, but he wasn't there. Ma Xiaotao was a little disappointed.

Chapter 81: Acquaintances Everywhere, Lesson One (Please continue reading!)

"You're looking for Jiang Yi, aren't you?" Elder Zhuang asked with a mocking smile.

Ma Xiaotao's face flushed instantly, but she stubbornly retorted, "I didn't."

For some reason, after each of her two meetings with Jiang Yi, she felt an emptiness in her heart.

Even her temper has become worse.

This time, suppressing the Evil Fire was a completely different experience from the last, which made her curious about what had happened, so she naturally wanted to ask Jiang Yi.

But Jiang Yi had already left before she woke up.

"Yan Shaozhe originally asked me to help you heal, but since you have no injuries, there's nothing I can do for you."

"When I see Yan Shaozhe, I will tell him about your situation. I have other matters to attend to, so I will leave now," said Elder Zhuang.

After Elder Zhuang finished speaking, he turned and left, and Ma Xiaotao quickly bowed respectfully.

Back at the Outer Court, Jiang Yi continued his classes.

He originally only wanted to experiment and earn the achievement reward by going to the Inner Court to help Ma Xiaotao suppress the Evil Fire.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of Elder Zhuang brought him a pleasant surprise.

Being able to receive guidance from a Super Douluo with the Tree of Life Martial Soul is a huge help in his understanding and application of Life Force.

Possessing the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and having fused with a Millennium Ancient Hemlock Soul Ring, his current life energy surpasses that of most Soul Master.

Otherwise, the Soft Bone Rabbit wouldn't have healed after eating his Blue Silver Grass.

However, his use of Life Force was far too crude; he could only use it to enhance the Blue Silver Grass or heal himself, without any other applications.

If one can learn from Elder Zhuang how to utilize Life Force, whether in healing or combat, it will enhance one's strength.

In the Inner Court, in Yan Shaozhe's office.

Elder Zhuang knocked on the office door, Yan Shaozhe said directly, "Come in."

As soon as he pushed open the door and walked in, Yan Shaozhe looked up and saw that it was Elder Zhuang. He immediately stood up from his chair, hurriedly walked over, and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Elder Zhuang, what brings you here so suddenly? And you don't need to knock if you're looking for me."

Although Yan Shaozhe and Elder Zhuang were of similar rank, their social standing differed greatly.

As the only healing-type Super Douluo in the Shrek Academy, he was naturally of paramount importance. In terms of age, Elder Zhuang Yan Shaozhe and was his senior.

In the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Zhuang sat in one of the front seats, while Yan Shaozhe sat in the last seat.

Elder Zhuang waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind, and sat down on the sofa. Yan Shaozhe hurriedly followed him.

Yan Shaozhe asked, "Elder Zhuang, is there something you need from me?"

Elder Zhuang nodded slowly. "There are indeed matters, one concerning Xiaotao Tao, and the other concerning Jiang Yi."

"You said." Yan Shaozhe became serious upon hearing these two names.

One of these two was his apprentice, and the other was Shrek's rising genius; naturally, they received his close attention.

"There's no need for me to help Xiaotao heal her wounds anymore."

Yan Shaozhe was immediately taken aback. What did this mean?

"This matter is related to Jiang Yi. He has already found a way to help Xiaotao suppress the Evil Fire without causing her any harm, so naturally she doesn't need to be healed," Elder Zhuang explained.

"Really?" Yan Shaozhe's face lit up with surprise.

"Would I lie to you?" Elder Zhuang retorted.

Elder Zhuang continued, "Yan Shaozhe, the main reason I'm here today is to ask about Jiang Yi. You should have already investigated his background, right? Tell me about it."

Yan Shaozhe asked curiously, "Um, Elder Zhuang, why are you so interested in Jiang Yi?"
