As his consciousness returned, Huo Yuhao looked up at the window, startled. He saw a smiling old man standing outside the corridor, looking at him.
"Teacher," Huo Yuhao called out instinctively.
The old man was Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe smiled. "Come out. I have something to give you."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao quickly walked out of the dormitory.
Without saying anything further, Yan Shaozhe walked out of the dormitory building. Finally, the two arrived at the edge of the Sea God Lake.
As soon as they stopped, Yan Shaozhe produced two boxes. The boxes were exquisitely crafted, and the material was clearly unusual.
"As a teacher, I naturally have to give my disciple some good gifts," Yan Shaozhe said, handing the boxes to Huo Yuhao. "The brown box on the left contains an Enlightenment Pill. The red box on the right contains a Soul Gathering Pill. Keep them and take them at an opportune moment."
Huo Yuhao accepted the two boxes, surprised that Yan Shaozhe would come to offer support so late.
"The Enlightenment Pill can enhance the strength of your mental attributes, and the Soul Gathering Pill will directly boost your cultivation. At the same time, your cultivation speed will be accelerated for the next half month,"
Yan Shaozhe explained.
"Teacher, will taking too many pills affect me? After all, medicine is always somewhat toxic," Huo Yuhao asked.
Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Pills also have grades. The ones I gave you are top-grade, without any side effects. Very few people on the entire Douluo Continent can make this type of pill. Take them without worry."
"I understand," Huo Yuhao put the boxes into his Storage Ring.
"As always, if you can win the championship in this freshmen assessment, I'll give you a gift. I gave your senior sister a gift when she won the championship. It depends on whether you can seize this opportunity," Yan Shaozhe stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards Sea God Island.
"I will strive for it," Huo Yuhao replied resolutely.
"Very good." Yan Shaozhe nodded in satisfaction. "Go and rest. It's getting late."
Huo Yuhao didn't move.
Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe asked, "Yuhao, is there anything else you want to say?"
Huo Yuhao said in a low voice, "Teacher, I remember that senior sister's martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix. According to my studies in books, although this martial soul is powerful, it also possesses a power that backfires on itself, which is the Evil Fire. Does senior sister also have Evil Fire with her?"
Mentioning this, Yan Shaozhe immediately had a headache. "That's right, Xiaotao does indeed have this thing. Over the years, I've thought of many ways but haven't been able to remove this Evil Fire. Now your senior sister's cultivation is getting higher and higher, and it will be even more difficult to suppress the Evil Fire in the future. I've even considered sealing her cultivation for a period of time."
"Originally, the most stable decision was to find a suitable martial soul for your senior sister, a top-level ice attribute match, but this girl just wouldn't agree. There's nothing I can do, so we can only keep dragging it out."
"If it weren't for the constraints of this Evil Fire, I'm afraid Xiaotao could have already been striving for the Soul Saint realm now."
Ma Xiaotao's talent was absolutely among the best in Shrek Academy, and on top of that, she was a direct descendant, so her status in Shrek was self-evident.
Huo Yuhao's expression shifted. Just as Yan Shaozhe was starting to get a headache, he spoke in a low voice, "Teacher, what if I could absorb the Evil Fire?"
Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow and looked sharply at Huo Yuhao.
The Heavenly Eye couldn't be hidden forever. He would always have to use it, so after being reminded by Yilai Ke Si, Huo Yuhao decided to slowly reveal the Heavenly Eye. However, he also thought of a reason to explain it.
"Teacher, look." Huo Yuhao pointed to his forehead. The next moment, a fissure split open on his forehead, and a faint golden light shone out from it.
"This is?" Yan Shaozhe's expression changed.
"Teacher, my martial soul should be an eye, but the reason I call it the Soul Eye Martial Soul is because of this thing on my forehead. I can use it to store all types of energy." Huo Yuhao said seriously, "Could you let me try absorbing Senior Sister's Evil Fire? Even if it can't cure it, it could at least give Senior Sister one less restriction."
Yan Shaozhe's face became solemn. He already knew that Huo Yuhao's martial soul was a mutated martial soul, a combination of an eye and a brain. Mutated martial souls were the most difficult to explain among all martial souls. Until now, no one had been able to fully understand them, because any special change could appear in a mutated martial soul.
This mutation, which involved absorbing energy, had indeed existed before.
It was just that the Evil Fire was too special.
"Are you sure you intend to use it to absorb Xiaotao's Evil Fire?" Yan Shaozhe asked seriously.
"I'm sure," Huo Yuhao replied affirmatively.
Yan Shaozhe didn't waste any more words. It was better to try than to talk. With him guarding, there was no need to fear an accident.
Immediately, Yan Shaozhe grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulder and with a "whoosh", they vanished from the spot.
When Huo Yuhao realized what was happening, he found himself on Poseidon Island.
Yan Shaozhe continued to fly without stopping, bringing Huo Yuhao directly in front of a building that wasn't obscured by any plants.
"Damn it, that girl Xiaotao is cultivating on her own again."
As soon as they landed, Yan Shaozhe's expression turned grim.
"Yuhao, come with me."
With that, Yan Shaozhe walked directly towards the building's main gate. Huo Yuhao quickly followed. He glanced around, noticing that the vegetation in this area seemed to have been intentionally planted further apart.
Opening the gate, what appeared before Huo Yuhao wasn't a refined living room, but a passage leading directly underground, illuminated by soul guide lamps.
Even before entering, Huo Yuhao felt a cold and a scorching aura emanating from the passage.
Yan Shaozhe waved his right hand, and a vast soul power enveloped Huo Yuhao's entire body. Then, he led him down the passage.
After walking less than ten meters, they reached the end. The two auras here became even more concentrated, and a heavy ice crystal gate stood before them.
Yan Shaozhe, expressionless, pushed open the ice crystal gate. Huo Yuhao followed closely behind and immediately widened his eyes. He saw a figure sitting cross-legged on a lotus-shaped crystal, emitting an astonishing crimson flame. The space around the figure seemed to be distorted.
"Xiaotao," Yan Shaozhe said in a low voice, and a terrifying aura swept outwards.
Ma Xiaotao, who was in a state of cultivation, trembled. She quickly opened her eyes to see Yan Shaozhe glaring at her angrily.
"Teacher… teacher, why are you here?" Ma Xiaotao forced the crimson flames back and stood up respectfully.
Yan Shaozhe rebuked, "How many times has your teacher told you? You've just absorbed the Ancient Ice Crystal to moderate the Evil Fire in your body. Don't cultivate for three months. Why… why won't you listen to your teacher?"
"If the Evil Fire erupts, and there's no one around to help suppress it, what if you lose consciousness and cause destruction?"
"I…" Ma Xiaotao wanted to say something, but seeing Yan Shaozhe's angry expression, she immediately dared not speak. "I was wrong, teacher. I just wanted to cultivate. You know, I have no other hobbies besides cultivation."
"Hmph." Yan Shaozhe had thought of a lot of angry words, but seeing Ma Xiaotao's pitiful, pleading appearance, he softened. In the end, he could only snort coldly.
"Eh, why is Yuhao here too?" Ma Xiaotao noticed a figure behind Yan Shaozhe out of the corner of her eye. She glanced over subconsciously and found it was Huo Yuhao.
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Yan Shaozhe explained first.
