"What level? Around level sixty or seventy." The Flame Emperor's Dharma Image, which was dozens of feet tall, returned to his body. Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of crimson-gold light appearing and disappearing in them.
His aura was several times more solid than before.
Shaking hands and feeling the control over the Dao of Fire within his body, Xiao Yan was beaming with joy.
They also benefited from the version update.
His martial soul was formed by the sublimation of his natal fire and his Dharma body, representing everything he had about the way of fire. After being upgraded to a martial soul, under the blessing of the plane laws of Douluo Continent, the way of fire seemed to become his innate ability.
This is equivalent to starting a progress bar to transform the original Dharma body from acquired to innate.
Xiao Yan had an epiphany; this was his great opportunity to transform the Dao of Fire into a physical form.
Looking inward into the Sea of Bitterness, a crimson-gold flame burns in the center, occasionally transforming into Xiao Yan's Dharma form.
At this point, the flame had taken on a physical form.
The artifact of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm!
From the sea of suffering comes the spring of life; from the divine bridge leads to the other shore.
[Tsk tsk tsk, I am about to reach the other shore; the next step is to reduce and seek emptiness.]
Recalling this incident, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and looked at the bewildered Ma Xiaotao with a cheerful expression.
The essence of soul power is no different from battle qi; it is simply a type of energy. The flames within his body, which are said to be battle qi, can be easily converted into soul power.
"Sister Xiaotao, can you sense roughly what level my soul power is?"
Xiao Yan chuckled and reached out, placing his hand on the crystal ball in front of Ma Xiaotao.
He made it.
Soon, accompanied by a flash of crimson light, a glittering gold 10 appeared.
But neither of them took the number 10 seriously.
Coming to her senses, Ma Xiaotao grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist, channeling her soul power into him and feeling the immense soul power within his body.
When Xiao Yan didn't have a martial soul, the restrictions on soul masters didn't have much of a binding force on him; he was more like a soul beast back then.
But now it's different. They're stuck at a bottleneck, and can only unlock the next level by absorbing a spirit ring.
Of course, Xiao Yan's strength was not restricted.
The Dharma Body is the Martial Soul. When the Martial Soul possesses the body, the Three Treasures unite, and the essence, energy, and spirit are transformed in harmony. Then, naturally, it will not be restricted by any rules.
"The quality of your soul power!!!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened. She now really suspected that Xiao Yan was some kind of 100,000-year-old soul beast that had been born and raised in the world and had taken human form. She had never seen soul power of such a high level before.
She had never seen soul power in the form of flames before; it was actually flames flowing within Xiao Yan's body!
Even Xiao Yan's soul power was the weakest among his three paths of essence, energy, and spirit, and it was not even as strong as his physical body and soul.
The idea that mental power can be converted back and forth between physical strength and soul power is simply outrageous!
Compared to Xiao Yan, Ma Xiaotao felt that she was not a genius at all.
The smugness he felt at his martial soul transforming into the ultimate fire and his soul power reaching level 67 vanished instantly.
Instead, it's all about comparing yourself to others and feeling miserable.
Fortunately, cultivating with Xiao Yan was many times faster than cultivating on her own. Before long, Ma Xiaotao would have to stop eating beef.
"Sister Xiaotao, what are your plans for the future?" After carefully experiencing the benefits brought by his martial soul, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow.
He's planning to start something big.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was taken aback, then shook her head.
"What are your plans?"
She originally wanted to take Xiao Yan to Shrek Academy, but after thinking about it, she decided to see what Xiao Yan thought.
Having finally escaped, she didn't want to go back so soon. Besides, she was no longer troubled by the evil fire... no, to be precise, she was by Xiao Yan's side and no longer troubled by the evil fire.
Let's use this as an excuse to sneak out and have some fun.
"There aren't many arrangements." Rubbing his chin, Xiao Yan held up three fingers.
"First, I need to acquire some soul rings. Sister Xiao Tao, you should also know that I can purify and sublimate the energy of rare and precious materials, and transform them into soul beasts for my own use." As he spoke, Xiao Yan paused for a moment, and a wisp of Myriad Beast Spirit Fire ignited in his palm.
He wanted to study spirit rings carefully. Actually, Xiao Yan was quite curious about how to condense a spirit ring. Could he make one himself?
And could we create some overpowered percentage-based soul skills and make them our own innate divine abilities?
"Hiss—" Ma Xiaotao blinked. He had seen Xiao Yan's abilities before. So Xiao Yan really didn't have any spirit rings?
Wait a minute, I've heard there's actually a way to cut off spirit rings. It seems like someone cut off their spirit rings ten thousand years ago. Could it be that Xiao Yan knows this method too?
Before she could figure it out, Xiao Yan continued to speak.
"I plan to study how to condense a soul ring. If that doesn't work, then killing a few 100,000-year-old soul beasts will do."
Ma Xiaotao: "..."
Looking at herself, then at Xiao Yan, Ma Xiaotao pointed with her slender finger. "Shall we go kill a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
Xiao Yan nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course. Sister Tao, aren't you almost a Soul Saint? Shouldn't you get a seventh ring that takes 100,000 years to form?"
Ma Xiaotao's lips twitched immediately, unable to utter a word of complaint, and she could only nod helplessly.
She was indeed quite confident in her abilities; if the two of them worked together, even if they couldn't kill him, they could still escape.
Just be careful not to wander around in the Starry Sky.
"And what about your second one?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Xiao Yan's other two fingers, somewhat curious.
"I want to try to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult." Xiao Yan's eyes shone brightly.
Since we're going to destroy the Soul Palace anyway, let's start by taking down an evil instructor here to practice.
It's certain that he can't defeat Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, but he might be able to defeat those evil soul masters below.
After learning about the abilities of the Dou Zong from Yao Lao, Xiao Yan had a rough idea of the level of these two Limit Douluo.
Even if a Dou Zong were to unleash their full power, they still wouldn't be able to defeat him.
"..." Ma Xiaotao opened her mouth.
She had actually been trying to tell Xiao Yan to be careful when refining the soul beast.
Although Xiao Yan's actions seemed grand and dignified, the general attitude across the continent at that time was that the correction of evil soul masters must go to extremes.
Although having her, a direct descendant of Shrek Academy, here can at least somewhat guarantee Xiao Yan's innocence.
But Xiao Yan's relentless pursuit of the Holy Spirit Cult...
"I'll go with you!" Ma Xiaotao nodded vigorously.
Recalling the disgusting scene she had witnessed in the mountain village, her pretty face was filled with revulsion.
That is exactly what I wish for!
Shrek isn't in a hurry to go back; he wants to get things done first!
"As for the third thing, I plan to go and take a look at the Sun and Moon Mountains." Xiao Yan said leisurely, gazing at the other side of the Mingdou Mountains.
If I remember correctly, there's a demon forest over there.
After breaking through to the Dou Shi level, in addition to the shorter cooldown and longer stay time, he was also able to bring back one more item.
That evil-eyed tyrant clan that migrated from the Holy Demon Continent has caught the eye of Xiao.
Villain, alien race, mental attributes.
Isn't this a gift from nature to Mr. Xiao?
The old man's recovery can also be greatly accelerated.
"Are you perhaps going to cause trouble in the Soul Beast Forest over there?" Ma Xiaotao's lips twitched as she met Xiao Yan's gaze.
It seems she's connected to Xiao Yan's thought process.
"Hehehe, that's right. Besides that, I also want to have a chat with the Body Sect, and then take you on an adventure to explore a treasure land from ten thousand years ago. If there's a chance, we can also go to the far north and the deep sea for a spin." Xiao Yan smiled brightly.
"How about it, Sister Tao? Want to come with me and do something?"
But there's no rush. You can think about it. I have some insights, and we can sort them out before setting off again.
Anyway, we have plenty of time. We can't finish in one trip, so we can go later.
"Hiss—" Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened, as if stars were twinkling in them.
Her personality is quite unconventional and reckless, but she has had to suppress it for many years because of her evil fire.
And now, I can go have fun with Xiao Yan...
He immediately pulled Xiao Yan up and rushed out.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Xiao Yan was taken aback.
"Time is of the essence, and every moment is precious. Stop dawdling and come with me now."
Ten thousand years is too long; seize the day!
Xiao Yan: ...Have you mixed up all the words?
Why does it feel like Ma Xiaotao's thought process is starting to become more abstract?
Huh? Why do you need to say that?
.........
Starry Sky Forest, by the Lake of Life.
"Achoo!" Di Tian sneezed, a bad feeling creeping over him.
