Chapter 138: Chapter 137: Qianran Has a Twin Martial Soul?
"Sister Xiaotao, can we maybe ease up on the violence?" Qianran dodged to the side.
"Hmph, you deserve it. You're always goofing off," Ma Xiaotao huffed, rolling her eyes.
After a thrilling battle, Ma Xiaotao felt great, stretching with a contented sigh that highlighted her curvy figure.
"So, what do you think I should do about the evil energy in my martial soul?" Ma Xiaotao asked seriously. Yan Shaozhe had already given her two options: either embrace a power similar to that of an Evil Soul Master like Tang Ya, or completely purge the evil energy from her body.
"If I want to remove all the evil energy from my Evil Fire Phoenix, can you do it?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Qianran, her expression grave.
"It should be doable," Qianran thought for a moment and nodded.
The issue with Ma Xiaotao's martial soul wasn't a big deal. Whether it was him, Qian Renxue, or the Ice Empress, any one of them could easily suppress her evil fire.
The real question was which path she wanted to take.
"I trust you." Ma Xiaotao gave Qianran a deep look. His martial soul had proven to be a strong counter to her evil energy. Whatever path she chose, she knew she had a fallback.
"However… if I completely remove the evil fire, it might affect my strength."
Ma Xiaotao was intrigued by the prospect of gaining power like Tang Ya's, yet she feared it. If she could barely control her current evil fire, fully embracing an Evil Soul Master's power would likely make her even more unstable. She would then have to rely on Qianran entirely.
Even though she trusted Qianran, she didn't want her future to be in anyone else's hands.
"Your martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, and that evil fire has become part of it. Removing it entirely would indeed weaken you," Qianran nodded. That evil fire contained aspects of an Evil Soul Master's power, which contributed significantly to Ma Xiaotao's combat abilities.
Qianran could help suppress or even remove the evil in her phoenix flames, but he couldn't make her martial soul evolve.
Only with Ultimate Ice could that potentially change.
"Are you looking for a soul master with an Ultimate Ice martial soul?" she asked.
"If you could find a strong Ultimate Ice user to suppress the evil fire, the effect would be even better. Balancing fire with ice might boost your power more than simply purifying it," Qianran said with a smile.
The Ice Empress was conveniently staying with him.
As for Ultimate Ice, no one besides the Snow Empress could rival the Ice Empress's mastery of it.
If the Ice Empress helped, there was a chance Ma Xiaotao's flames could evolve into Ultimate Fire.
"Hmm. You know your stuff," Ma Xiaotao remarked.
"This was the plan my teacher arranged. But Ultimate martial souls are incredibly rare, comparable to twin martial souls in rarity. Especially with Ultimate Ice, the chances of meeting someone like that on this continent are slim. I might never encounter one in my lifetime." A hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes.
"Actually, Ultimate Ice isn't entirely impossible to find," Qianran said with a faint smile.
No matter which path Ma Xiaotao chose, she couldn't avoid needing his help.
Qianran glanced at her with a slight grin.
"You know an Ultimate Ice soul master?" Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up in surprise. Despite his flirty nature, she found Qianran reliable enough not to lie to her about something this serious.
"I'm somewhat of an ice-type soul master myself. While I don't quite reach the level of Ultimate Ice yet, I'm close. Besides, I know someone truly strong with Ultimate Ice. I could ask her to help you."
"You… have a second martial soul?"
"You have two martial souls?" Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened in shock.
Qianran had an ice-type martial soul?
"Yes," Qianran replied, channeling his ice-type soul power. He placed his hand on her shoulder, and an intense chill surged into her body, colder than anything she'd ever felt.
The so-called Ultimate Ice meant ice taken to its utmost extreme.
Qianran wasn't quite there yet.
Once he fully synchronized with the Ice Empress, his second martial soul could likely attain the Ultimate Ice attribute.
"Wow, you actually have a twin martial soul. Incredible," Ma Xiaotao was filled with envy. His primary martial soul was already top-tier, yet now he had a second martial soul. Judging by the intense chill he had released, his second martial soul was equally powerful.
"My second martial soul is an Ice Dragon, not yet Ultimate Ice. But I do have a way to elevate it to that level," Qianran explained.
"So, you have two choices: you can wait for me to achieve Ultimate Ice and then help you, or I could ask my friend to assist you now."
"You can evolve your martial soul? Could I do the same?" Ma Xiaotao was shocked. She didn't know that Qianran had a system to support him, which could provide anything he needed.
"I'll wait for you. Evolving my martial soul won't happen overnight," she replied. She wanted to turn her martial soul into Ultimate Fire. Neither Ultimate Ice nor his Angelic Martial Soul could achieve that, but there was a substance that could — the fiery resin from the Blazing Apricot Fruit.
Ma Xiaotao never expected that Qianran would hold all the answers to her martial soul dilemma.
Could it be that fate had tied them together?
Qianran's twin martial souls were amazing!
She and her teacher had been searching for answers for years, only for Qianran to appear and resolve all her uncertainties.
She was curious about how he would elevate his martial soul to Ultimate Ice, but every soul master had their secrets, and she wasn't so careless as to pry.
An Angelic Martial Soul, Ultimate Ice — Ma Xiaotao could hardly fathom how formidable Qianran could become. He was truly a prodigy! Who else had twin martial souls, and two of the highest caliber at that? This guy was a monster!
