Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 16 Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire, One Year Later, the Far North Plan
"Do you know where Sister Xiaotao is?" Su Wen asked curiously, rubbing his full stomach.

"You mean Ma Xiaotao? You'll have to ask Dean Yan about that." Lu Xiaoxiao chuckled as she took the plate away, raising an eyebrow at Su Wen's back.

"Dean Yan?"

Su Wen turned around.

Suddenly, Yan Shaozhe appeared, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your help, Xiaoxiao. This child has just woken up. It's my fault as the hospital director for not fulfilling my responsibilities. From now on, I will take care of all his meals and put it on my tab."

"Tch~~ Dean Yan can do me a favor, but don't treat me like a bad guy." Lu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, then smiled at Su Wen: "Little Wen, come find Aunt Lu if you're hungry. Aunt Lu doesn't have other cultivation methods or pills, but there's plenty of food."

"Golden crocodile meat, rain dragon tendons, materials from ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts—these are not unheard of..."

"Mmm." Su Wen nodded.

"Looking for Xiao Tao?" Yan Shaozhe was rebuffed, but he still maintained a calm and amiable attitude, revealing a kind smile.

She was overjoyed. Ever since she learned that it was Xiao Tao who had taken Su Wen in, she thought to herself that everything was settled. Xiao Tao's plan to get close to Su Wen was perfect. Xian Lin'er, you're going to be eating dirt now...

"Yes, do you know where Sister Xiaotao is?"

"follow me."

……

Poseidon Island.

In a secret room.

Su Wen saw Ma Xiaotao lying on the bed, looking weak. Her red hair was scattered messily on the pillow, her pretty face was slightly pale, and a bead of sweat dripped from the tip of her delicate nose.

It felt as if I had just experienced extreme pain.

Su Wen was suddenly startled.

I completely forgot about that!
Ma Xiaotao's evil fire needs to be suppressed by opposing attributes "ice and water". This has been the case since she was a child. In the original work, there are many strong people in Shrek Academy's inner court. Ling Luochen is not the only one with the ice attribute. Even though these geniuses helped her suppress it, Ma Xiaotao still lost control and went berserk, almost killing Huo Gua. Not to mention the current inner court.

At this time, there were very few ice-type experts in the inner courtyard, and none of them could guard Ma Xiaotao indefinitely.

This meant that Ma Xiaotao often had to endure it herself, while Yan Shaozhe and the others could only watch helplessly...

After listening to Yan Shaozhe's explanation.

Su Wen nodded slightly.

It seems the second soul beast will have to go to the far north.

"Xiao Wen..."

Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her eyes, blinked her peach-shaped eyes, clearly surprised and a little shy, as if she didn't want Su Wen to see her in such a weak state, and tried to stand up with great effort.

But Su Wen pressed down on his shoulders and made him lie down again.

"Sister Xiaotao."

Su Wen remained silent for a long time: "Get some rest..."

……

"teacher!"

Ma Xiaotao's pretty face flushed red, but she glared angrily at Yan Shaozhe, who was secretly laughing to the side.

"Using your own disciple as a bait? Have you no shame?!"

"Hey, what do you mean by 'baiting'? It's a matter of mutual consent, don't make it sound so harsh." Yan Shaozhe chuckled. "But Xiao Tao, you've really hit the jackpot. You saved him and you saved yourself at the same time."

"What do you mean?" Ma Xiaotao was taken aback.

"Do you believe that his next soul beast will be ice-type?" Yan Shaozhe grinned.

"You mean..." Ma Xiaotao opened her red lips, her expression complicated. She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what her teacher meant. Knowing the drawbacks of her own evil fire, if Su Wen's next soul skill was ice-based, it would be specifically designed to help her dispel the evil fire...

"Hahahaha, childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree. Although there's a six-year age gap, a woman three years older brings good fortune, and a woman six years older brings even more good fortune, hahahahaha..."

Yan Shaozhe laughed heartily and left.

Ma Xiaotao slowly curled up, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the doorway, in the direction Su Wen had left.

Countless times, her evil fire raged, and she fainted in this room from the pain.

This place, like a demon within her heart, firmly imprisoned her within.

But now, it seems a ray of light is about to shine in...

...one year and two months later.

Su Wen was already quite familiar with the inner courtyard, and his daily routine consisted of cultivation, going to Aunt Lu for a meal, continuing cultivation, and then having dinner...

Lu Xiaoxiao truly lived up to her reputation as Shrek Academy's top nutritionist; the food she prepared was delicious, not greasy, and generously portioned. Even Zhang Yi was envious of this "special treatment," since other inner court disciples had to pay for their meals...

Moreover, it's quite expensive.

Su Wen's daily food intake alone would amount to over a thousand gold soul coins.

Her height increased from 1.3 meters to 1.5 meters, barely reaching Ma Xiaotao's chest, because the girl had grown to 1.79 meters...

At the same time, his strength also increased from level 15 to level 20. Just yesterday, after his soul power broke through the threshold, the second Poké Ball slowly appeared - yellow, which means a hundred years.

Gazing intently at the yellow Poké Ball floating alongside the white Poké Ball of the hurricane in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Su Wen pondered for a moment.

Hurricane's white Poké Ball suddenly changed yesterday after he broke through level 20—it became half white and half yellow, which means his guess was correct.

Once he officially captures his second spirit beast and reaches level 21, Hurricane's Poké Ball will most likely turn completely yellow, marking Hurricane's official entry into the cultivation level of a hundred-year spirit beast.

Although the pet panel displays a level, it is converted into the cultivation level of the soul beast of a certain rank (identified by white, yellow, purple, black, and red).

【Wind Baboon】

[Level: Level 20]

【Strength: 10.4 (2.0)】

Speed: 13.4 (2.4)

Endurance: 10.4 (1.4)

[Defense: 13.1 (5.1)]

[Skill: Wind Blade (Normal)]

【Attribute: Wind (Normal) (To be refreshed)】

[Potential: 8 (Excellent)]

Next evolution stage: Stormbaboon

The hurricane's various stats have been improved in a balanced way. The numbers in front are the current attribute values, while the numbers in the small box behind are the additional values ​​that have been improved in recent days by "replenishing what you eat".

For example, eating the meat of a defensive spirit beast like the Ironclad Rhinoceros will replenish defensive attributes, while eating agile and offensive spirit beasts will increase speed, similar to increasing potential points. The older the spirit beast, the greater the increase in value it can provide.

After Su Wen ate a meal of meat from a 5,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, his defense and strength both increased by 0.1 points after digestion!

These increases have boosted the overall strength of the hurricane by a full 1.5 times.

"Well……"

Inside the wooden house.

A languid female voice rang out.

Su Wen's lips twitched.

His gaze drifted helplessly to the bed, where Ma Xiaotao was occupying it. She stretched, her fair and delicate feet exposed to the air, straightening as she stretched. As the blanket was kicked away, her long and slender legs were revealed.

Ma Xiaotao sat up, her red hair draped over her shoulder, rubbed her eyes, and gave off a silly, beautiful vibe.

"Hmm, sleep with me a little longer."

Upon seeing Su Wen, Ma Xiaotao instinctively hooked her leg, instantly pulling Su Wen, who was sitting cross-legged on the side of the bed, into her arms.

"You've been sleeping all day..."

Su Wen was enveloped in softness and sighed expressionlessly.

"But I lost control of my evil spirits the day before yesterday," Ma Xiaotao said pitifully.

Su Wen: "..."

As time went on, Ma Xiaotao became more and more attached to Su Wen, completely losing the fiery temper she displayed in front of others, and instead acting like a delicate little beauty.

But yes.

The Far North Project should also be put on the agenda.
