Chapter 178 Condensing the Soul Core
A soft humming sound rang out, and frost and flames gradually intertwined, slowly transforming into pale purple soul power.
A series of pale purple soul energies were generated and gradually enveloped the two of them.
With a loud phoenix cry, a golden-red phoenix phantom appeared, circled the two of them a few times, then spread its wings to protect them, and the dense soul power gradually formed a pale purple giant egg.
An astonishing surge of soul power emanated from the giant egg, transforming into a colossal phoenix phantom that soared above the secret chamber.
What happened inside the secret room could not be kept secret from the strong members of Shrek Academy.
Elder Xuan, who was drinking, narrowed his eyes, put down his wine pot, and looked in the direction of Ma Xiaotao's cultivation chamber. His gaze was fixed on the huge phoenix phantom, and he muttered to himself, "Is that Xiaotao in that direction?"
Having said that, Elder Xuan transformed into a streak of yellow lightning and rushed towards the secret chamber.
At the same time, Yan Shaozhe and a group of powerful figures from the Sea God Pavilion also arrived.
In the blink of an eye, Elder Xuan had arrived outside the secret chamber, followed by Yan Shaozhe and a group of elders from the Sea God Pavilion.
When they arrived, they saw Old Master Mu lying in a rocking chair, his body radiating a faint golden light.
Golden glints emanated from the sky above Shrek Academy, coating it with a faint film of light.
After bowing to Elder Mu in a hurry, Yan Shaozhe planned to barge directly into Ma Xiaotao's secret room.
Ma Xiaotao is Yan Shaozhe's most beloved disciple. He took care of her from a young age and even treated her like a daughter.
"Don't rush." A gentle soul force stopped Yan Shaozhe. Elder Mu remained seated in his recliner, smiling at Yan Shaozhe.
Stopped by Elder Mu, Yan Shaozhe took a few deep breaths to calm his agitated mood and asked, "Elder Mu, what about Xiao Tao...?"
"Xiao Tao is fine. Shao Zhe and Xuan Zi, stay here. The rest of you, go back to your work," Elder Mu said gently.
Apart from Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan, all the other Shrek Academy experts bowed to Elder Mu and then vanished from their spots.
When Elder Xuan learned that Ye Nanxiao was also in the secret room, he laughed twice, picked up a wine pot, and sat down to drink.
"Shao Zhe, your cultivation level is not high enough. You need to hurry up." After pointing out Shao Zhe's mental state, Elder Mu continued, "It's actually a good thing that Xiao Tao is alright. Just wait, Shrek Academy is about to produce another real fire phoenix."
Yan Shaozhe, who was able to become the dean of the Martial Soul Academy, was extremely intelligent. After a moment's thought, he instantly understood. His expression was complicated, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That kid got off easy."
"Hahaha, Shao Zhe, you can't say that. If you had had that kid's courage back then, you wouldn't have been targeted by that girl Lin'er every day." Old Xuan pulled out a chicken leg and laughed.
Yan Shaozhe was speechless for a moment, then snorted and turned his head away.
He really wants to beat up that fox Ye Nanxiao.
Lost in a world of pleasure, unaware of the passage of time.
Ye Nanxiao didn't know how much time had passed; he only tenderly expressed his passionate love to the beauty in his arms.
Neither of them realized that their soul power and mental power were increasing exponentially.
"The ancients were right. Comic books aren't just for passing the time; they do have some use. This is an unexpected delight." Xue Di's lips curled up slightly as she drew upon the large amount of soul power within Ye Nanxiao's body, compressing and forging it.
Xue Di discovered that after she compressed the soul power in Ye Nanxiao's body, the subsequent soul power was circulating and compressing on its own.
Within Ye Nanxiao's dantian, a hexagonal snowflake-shaped crystal composed of soul power quietly took shape, continuously absorbing the ever-increasing soul power within Ye Nanxiao's body.
Through the effect of the soul power bond, Ma Xiaotao's own soul power was also compressed, and a crystal condensed in her dantian, allowing her to step into the realm of Soul Saint in one fell swoop.
As the soul core took shape, golden-red flames quietly appeared, roaming over the two people's bodies, constantly burning away the impurities within them and expanding their meridians.
"This is a good opportunity!" Xue Di was overjoyed. She formed a hand seal with her hands and broke the primordial seal.
Streams of pure soul power were continuously being injected into the hexagonal soul core in Ye Nanxiao's dantian, while the original power that the Snow Emperor had sealed within Ye Nanxiao's body was constantly diminishing.
"I told you it wasn't a bad thing, Xiao'er!" Xue Di laughed.
After her own essence was completely merged with Ye Nanxiao, Xue Di felt that the connection between herself and Ye Nanxiao became even closer.
With her eyes closed, Xue Di could sense Ye Nanxiao's physical condition and perception, and naturally, she could also sense Ye Nanxiao's current vision.
"This needs to be recorded! Finally, my vision is no longer controlled by Xiao'er!" Xue Di's face flushed slightly, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes shone with intense brilliance.
"Woo!" Inside the sealed ice mountain, the giant fox's size was slowly shrinking, and orbs of light separated from its body and merged into Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea.
Like the Snow Empress, the Great Fox's power is also merging with Ye Nanxiao's.
"I almost forgot about you, little one." The Snow Empress controlled the opening of the sealed ice mountain, and the speed at which the giant fox shrank increased.
Ye Nanxiao, who was in Wushan seeking rain, had a nine-tailed fox pattern flashing on his forehead.
Shrek Academy, Inner Court.
Cai Meier waved her hand, dispersing a crescent-shaped shockwave. She looked at the girl opposite her with some surprise and asked, "What's wrong, Nannan? You seem a little out of sorts?"
Jiang Nannan shook her head slightly, touched her forehead, and said, "I'm fine, just a little tired."
Cai Meier nodded. "That's true. After cultivating for so long, let's relax for a bit. I'll come back later."
After saying that, Cai Meier disappeared from the spot.
Cai Meier, a titled Douluo, did not notice that a nine-tailed fox pattern was slowly glowing under Jiang Nannan's bangs.
"You lecherous fox! Come back and see how I deal with you!" Jiang Nannan muttered, then sighed, "I thought there was only one little angel."
Inside the giant egg formed by soul power, the pale purple soul power was gradually absorbed back into their bodies by the two of them.
"Mmm~" Ma Xiaotao stretched her body forcefully and let out a groan, which aroused the person beneath her again.
Outside the secret room, Yan Shaozhe said somewhat dejectedly, "This process is going to take a while."
Elder Xuan laughed heartily, "Shao Zhe, calm down, come and have a drink. These two children are truly a perfect match!"
Old Master Mu gently rocked his recliner and smiled, "After this matter, it will greatly help Xiao Tao's future cultivation. Moreover, I estimate that the evil fire that has accumulated in Xiao Tao's body for many years will be almost resolved."
Elder Xuan tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, laughing, "Yes, Shao Zhe, it's about time you prepared to retire!"
Time passed quickly as the three talked, and when Ye Nanxiao was finally satisfied, he gently embraced the beauty.
"I'm exhausted," Ma Xiaotao complained, then found a comfortable spot in Ye Nanxiao's arms and yawned. "Let me sleep for a while."
"Mmm, go to sleep." Ye Nanxiao kissed Ma Xiaotao's delicate red lips.
Ma Xiaotao hugged Ye Nanxiao tightly. It was her first time experiencing this, and even though her cultivation had broken through to the Soul Saint level, Ma Xiaotao couldn't resist the sleepiness that came over her. She quickly fell into a deep sleep with a satisfied smile.
"Xue'er," Ye Nanxiao called out to the Snow Emperor in his spiritual sea.
"Is the little hunky guy done?" Xue Di teased.
"Putting aside the changes in my body, you could have stopped it, couldn't you?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"You will regret it." Xue Di's answer was simple, but it made Ye Nanxiao face his own heart.
"Yes, you'll definitely regret it." Ye Nanxiao sighed, and couldn't help but hug the person in his arms a little tighter.
Carefully sensing the changes within his body, Ye Nanxiao discovered that his physical strength had greatly increased, estimating that he could now hold his own against a Soul Douluo.
At his dantian, a hexagonal snowflake-shaped soul core was slowly floating, its pale golden core at the center constantly absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth and feeding it back to Ye Nanxiao.
"Did I just skip all the most difficult steps?" Ye Nanxiao asked blankly.
"Not only that, but there was absolutely no pressure; it was all pure enjoyment." Xue Di said with an ambiguous smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao focused his mind on his own spiritual sea, sealing the iceberg, and the giant fox's size shrank by half.
"Alright, I'll go take a rest too." Ye Nanxiao decided to take a nap first, as the birth and fusion of the soul core had consumed almost all of Ye Nanxiao's soul power.
However, Ye Nanxiao seemed to have forgotten that with such a commotion between the two of them, there must be someone watching them from outside.
Outside the secret chamber, Yan Shaozhe's expression was not good. He looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, and then looked in the direction of Ma Xiaotao's cultivation chamber.
Feeling the calming fluctuations of his soul power and the ever-gathering elemental energy of heaven and earth, Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, unleashed his soul power, and flew away.
"I must give this fox a good beating later. No, I must pass on all my combat experience to Ye Nanxiao when I get the chance!" Yan Shaozhe made up his mind to pass on his combat experience to Ye Nanxiao in the form of a sparring match, and silently made a note of it in his mind.
"Why aren't these two little guys coming out yet? The previous soul power fluctuations have all disappeared, it should be over by now, right?" Elder Xuan silently took out another chicken leg from his pocket and started gnawing on it.
"So when I told you to find a woman, you didn't go. How could you possibly understand, Xuanzi?" Old Master Mu said gently.
"I'm a little curious about what Nanxiao will do next. Although there are powerful people on the continent who practice polygamy, judging from Nanxiao's appearance, he seems to be..." Old Mu seemed to be recalling what those three words were.
"Henpecked!" Old Xuan threw the chicken bone into his mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it.
Ye Nanxiao didn't know how long he had slept. When he woke up from the blurry darkness, he felt an itch on his face.
Opening his eyes, he saw Ma Xiaotao smiling and stroking his face.
Ye Nanxiao laughed and said, "Isn't your man handsome?"
"Hmph, so vain." Ma Xiaotao rested her head against Ye Nanxiao's chest, feeling his heartbeat, and said with some worry, "What are you going to do about Nannan? If Nannan gets angry, I'll leave on my own."
Ye Nanxiao did not answer, but raised his hand and slapped her to enforce the Ye family law.
"You're already my woman. If you say such things again, you'll be punished according to family rules!" Ye Nanxiao said, and slapped her again.
Normally acting like a bossy older sister, Ma Xiaotao blushed slightly and replied like a little woman, "I know, my little man!"
Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and asked with displeasure, "Little man?"
"Ah, you're asking for trouble! Hurry up and tidy up, Elder Mu and the others must know!" Ma Xiaotao punched Ye Nanxiao twice, and was about to get up to tidy up when the discomfort in her body made her frown.
"Sit still!" Ye Nanxiao gently pressed Ma Xiaotao down and helped her change her clothes.
After the two finished getting ready, Ye Nanxiao led Ma Xiaotao to appear in front of Elder Mu and Elder Xuan. Elder Xuan paused in his drinking and stared at Ye Nanxiao and Ma Xiaotao.
A few seconds later, Elder Xuan nodded in satisfaction and joked, "Not bad, your cultivation method is quite good. You can try it more often in the future."
Ma Xiaotao blushed instantly and buried her head in Ye Nanxiao's back.
Elder Mu smiled gently and said, "You can cultivate on your own to stabilize yourselves. Xuanzi and I will be leaving now."
In the blink of an eye, Elder Mu and Elder Xuan had disappeared from the spot.
Ye Nanxiao squeezed Ma Xiaotao's hand tightly, "Let's go, let's go find Nannan."
Ye Nanxiao clearly felt Ma Xiaotao tighten her grip on his hand for a moment, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, little sister has met her big sister."
Neither of them chose to use their soul power to travel. Instead, they held hands and walked slowly through the academy. Ye Nanxiao deliberately chose to walk so that he could tell Ma Xiaotao along the way that he still had an angel in his heart.
Happy Lunar New Year's Eve to all my dear readers!
