Chapter 43
Unfortunately, the red figure was already upon them, and a terrifying heatwave erupted instantly. Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao felt as if they were engulfed in a sea of fire. The wings that had spread out behind Wang Dong instantly curled up, and they could no longer fly. The two of them fell to the ground at the same time.
The terrifying heat scorched all vegetation within a radius of tens of meters, turning it a golden-brown color, as if the earth itself was about to be set ablaze.
Wang Dong, still unwilling to accept his fall, tried to unleash his second soul skill, but as soon as he activated his soul power, he was immediately struck by the terrifying heat. He groaned and fell into a coma.
Stimulated by the intense heat from the outside, Huo Yuhao's ice-attribute martial soul automatically protected itself, emitting a chill. However, Huo Yuhao's level thirteen soul power was completely consumed by the scorching heat in just one second.
Seemingly noticing Huo Yuhao's movements, the red figure's large hand slammed towards him.
Ma Xiaotao has been acting crazy for a while now, hasn't Mu En noticed yet?
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and poured all the mental energy he could muster into the unnamed defensive soul tool Fan Yu had given him the night before. (What should I call it? I feel like I could make an advanced version later.)
A barrier made of mental energy was thus formed, covering a one-meter radius around Huo Yuhao, even keeping out the terrifying high temperature.
A level six defensive soul tool, theoretically capable of withstanding a full-force attack without breaking.
Unfortunately, this soul tool ultimately relied on Huo Yuhao's mental power to maintain itself. No matter how powerful the soul tool was, you can't cook without rice. With Huo Yuhao's weak mental power output, it collided with the palm that came slapping at it, producing a piercing roar.
Immediately following was a shattering sound.
The barrier, which had consumed all of Huo Yuhao's mental energy, only paused the hand for a moment before shattering and dissipating into energy fragments in the air.
He was about to be reduced to ashes under that scorching giant hand.
dying!
"Sister Tianmeng! Help me...!"
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he abruptly changed his mind: "Wait a little longer!"
Suddenly, a golden light screen appeared in front of Huo Yuhao. The scorching giant palm struck the light screen and disappeared without making a sound.
Seeing that Mu En had finally made a move, Huo Yuhao swayed slightly, then fell to the ground and closed his eyes.
At this moment, beams of light appeared in the air and gathered around Ma Xiaotao. When the light merged with the red figure, the flames on Ma Xiaotao's body suddenly spread, as if she was struggling desperately.
However, her struggles were powerless against the fireflies. Soon, streams of black energy gushed out from Ma Xiaotao's body, and her struggles gradually weakened.
When the black energy stopped surging out, the beams of light gradually emerged from Ma Xiaotao's body and dissipated into the air. As the last beam of light disappeared, Ma Xiaotao's body went limp and she fell to the ground.
Looking at the unconscious Wang Dong and the "unconscious" Huo Yuhao, Mu En's expression was quite interesting.
Previously, when Huo Yuhao sought his protection, he had guaranteed Huo Yuhao's safety in the name of Shrek Academy. However, he never expected that Huo Yuhao would "fall unconscious" right under his nose. He was quite embarrassed.
Helpless, Mu En saw that Huo Yuhao was carrying a secret and assumed that the crisis Huo Yuhao mentioned came from outside the academy, from those guys who came for Huo Yuhao's secret. So he spent some of his energy on the area outside the academy.
Little did Huo Yuhao know that the crisis he spoke of came from Shrek Academy's inner court, from Ma Xiaotao!
Just moments ago, Mu En vouched for Huo Yuhao's safety in the name of Shrek Academy, and then Shrek Academy students nearly killed Huo Yuhao. It's really... a bit embarrassing.
In the distance, deep within Poseidon Lake, a dozen figures arrived at astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, they reached the shore.
The leader was an elderly man dressed in white. He suddenly took a step out in mid-air, as if he had traversed space. The others followed closely behind and arrived one after another within two seconds.
They immediately saw Moon's figure, which was formed from light elements.
"Elder Mu!" In an instant, everyone turned to Mu En's luggage.
"Oh no, the outer academy students have been injured." The leader, an elderly man dressed in white, thought to himself that something was wrong.
The matter of Ma Xiaotao losing control is minor. On the few previous occasions when she lost control and caused widespread destruction in the inner courtyard, the inner courtyard had enough power to suppress her.
However, this time Ma Xiaotao lost control and rushed towards the Sea God Lake like a madwoman. Most of them were cultivating early in the morning, and when they discovered that Ma Xiaotao had lost control, they could not immediately stop circulating their soul power. They had to stop their cultivation first, otherwise the trouble caused by the chaotic soul power would be considerable.
These slight time differences meant that even a group of Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, and Title Douluos couldn't stop Ma Xiaotao.
Fortunately, Elder Mu intervened; otherwise, these two students would likely be in grave danger.
The first to arrive, the elderly man in white, cautiously inquired, "Elder Mu... how should this matter be handled?"
"What do you think?" Mu En's calm voice rang out, but it made the white-robed old man's heart tremble slightly.
"Everything will be handled according to the rules and regulations," the old man in white said tentatively.
As soon as the old man in white finished speaking, Mu En's figure turned into a ball of light and dissipated into the air.
call……
Seeing Mu En leave, the white-robed elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that Mu En was still watching them.
"What are you all standing there for?"
As they spoke, the group of people came to their senses and split into two groups. One group surrounded Ma Xiaotao and checked her current condition.
Another group of skilled healers arrived at the side of the unconscious Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.
The old man in white came to Ma Xiaotao's side and placed his right hand on his shoulder. It could be seen that dense white soul power was surging into the woman in red's body at an astonishing speed.
At this moment, the soul power within Ma Xiaotao's martial soul was extremely pure, without a trace of evil. When the soul power was activated, her martial soul status was checked again and found to be much better than before.
It seems that Elder Mu has stepped in to help purify the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body.
But the old man in white knew that this was only temporary. The evil energy in Ma Xiaotao's martial soul came from the martial soul itself. As long as Ma Xiaotao continued to cultivate, this evil energy would once again permeate Ma Xiaotao's body.
"Sigh..." The old man in white sighed, turning to look at the teacher treating Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. "Teacher Li, how are those two outer court students?"
"The one with the colorful hair is fine; he'll wake up soon," said the middle-aged man in white, who was Teacher Li.
"but……"
"But what?" The old man in white frowned, somewhat displeased.
Teacher Li organized his thoughts, "The other one has slightly depleted soul power and mental energy, but that's nothing to worry about; he just needs a short rest. However, his life force is somewhat depleted, which is a bit strange..."
