Body Like an Ant, Heart Holding the Universe
The morning sunlight was soft and not glaring.
The room was filled with a hazy light.
Waking up in the Ye Family guest room, Lin Xiao washed up and began to write a letter.
Binger:
Greetings.
I told you before that I stayed in Heaven Dou City and met two very good friends, Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, and Ye Lingling, the successor of the Nine Hearted Begonia.
With the help of Aunt Ye (Ye Lingling's mother), I have been able to suppress and even utilize the Evil Fire in my body. Binger, you don't have to worry about my safety.
Next, I will be going out with Poison Douluo for a period of time for cultivation purposes, and also to do very important things. There will be no danger. I may not be able to reply to letters in time during this period, but I will reply to them one by one when I return. At that time, I will bring you a very precious gift, so you can look forward to it.
Also, how are you doing in Heaven Water City? How is life at school? How is Granny Shui Yuehua doing recently? Feel free to tell me.
I hope you can always be happy.
After leaving his signature, Lin Xiao put the letter into an envelope, sealed it carefully, and prepared to mail it to Shui Binger later.
Lin Xiao stretched and came outside to the courtyard, staring absentmindedly at the artificial mountain in the center.
The date to go to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well has been set.
They will set off in three days.
Recently, Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian studied together and realized that the Evil Fire in his body is likely not to disappear, not only because the Evil Fire is getting stronger and has evolved.
Ye Qingxian proposed an idea: the Evil Fire may not be a defect, but rather an evolutionary seed left behind because of too strong a talent, a necessary path for Phoenix Nirvana, which promotes the evolution of the phoenix, but it must be reborn from destruction, making it very dangerous.
Lin Xiao felt that this idea was very valuable.
He and Ma Hongjun have embarked on two completely opposite paths.
The phoenix is a bird of hope, yet it is reborn from destruction.
In the original story, Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire would be vented every once in a while, always in a weak state. Although it would not put his life in danger, it also made him lose the opportunity to evolve.
Even after Ma Hongjun later swallowed the Immortal Herb and purified the weak Evil Fire, his Martial Soul became a pure Fire Phoenix, but he also lost other possibilities and restricted himself. Moreover, after these days of understanding the phoenix, Lin Xiao always felt that Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul was still not the Ultimate Fire Phoenix after evolution.
"For the phoenix, there is no ultimate, because each Nirvana will break through its own limitations, until there is no more improvement, and then the next Nirvana will be carried out."
"Setting an ultimate seems a bit vulgar, as if there is no room for improvement, which is tantamount to being complacent."
"So the Ultimate Fire Phoenix should be able to be named as such when the ultimate attribute breaks through a certain critical point, but it still has unlimited room for growth."
As Lin Xiao recently discovered, the ultimate attribute and the ultimate Martial Soul are two different things. Approaching the ultimate Martial Soul is called possessing the ultimate attribute, and to become the ultimate Martial Soul, it is necessary to break through that critical point.
"Ma Hongjun and I both have the ultimate attribute, but we can't be considered the Ultimate Fire Phoenix yet. However, my ultimate attribute is infinitely close, while his still has a long way to go."
"After the Darkness and Destruction Phoenix, what will the next Martial Soul form be?"
Lin Xiao is looking forward to it! He is now convinced that his Evil Fire cannot be eliminated by the Immortal Herb, because he is already on the road to phoenix evolution, and it is irreversible! This is the path that belongs only to Lin Xiao! "The True Dragon can be big or small, can ascend or hide; the phoenix can wash away sins with the power of destruction, and can also burn the sky and boil the sea with the Ultimate Fire. One day, I will become a True Phoenix on par with the True Dragon!"
The young man's ambition is surging.
Though the body is like an ant, the heart holds the universe!
...
Heaven Water City. Shui Family.
"Miss, a letter has arrived."
Granny Shui Yuehua's eyes narrowed, and wrinkles rippled into a kind smile, holding a letter in her hand, and waving it at Shui Binger.
"Who's it from?"
Shui Binger asked subconsciously, then saw a maple leaf specimen pasted on the envelope, red and fiery, this was Lin Xiao's unique mark.
Every time she saw this maple leaf, she could think of the handsome and clean young man, who had a head of red maple-colored long hair.
Shui Binger happily took the letter and opened it to read.
She read it very slowly, as if she could see a gentle young man with a smile on his lips, writing at the table, from the ink and between the lines.
After reading it patiently, Shui Binger ran to the study and immediately wrote a reply.
Lin Xiao, my dear brother:
I know you probably won't see my reply, but that's okay, you can read it when you come back. I'm having a great time in Heaven Water City; I'm attending Heaven Water Noble Girls' Elementary Academy, and all the girls at school are very pretty and kind; Grandma Shui Yuehua is also doing very well.
I'm so happy to hear that your Martial Soul defect is gone, Lin Xiao, my dear brother. Focus on your important matters. During this time, I'll write letters whenever I miss you. I hope you won't mind me being too talkative when you see so many letters.
If it's too much trouble... you don't have to read them, Lin Xiao, my dear brother!
Oh, right. I really want to hear you tell stories again, Lin Xiao, my dear brother. Grandma Shui Yuehua misses your grilled fish a little. Can we meet during the holidays? I wish you all the best, Lin Xiao, my dear brother!
She added her name.
Shui Binger trotted off to mail the letter.
Logically, she could have asked a servant to do it, but Shui Binger always went to mail them herself, feeling it was a sacred task. Entrusting it to someone else would taint the emotions and be disrespectful to Lin Xiao, my dear brother.
Grandma Shui Yuehua followed behind her, a smile on her face.
"Binger, slow down..."
...
Early morning.
The grass and trees were covered in frost, it was already late autumn.
Ye Qingxian wore a snow-white mink coat and a white veil; Dugu Bo, as always, wore only a thin outer garment.
Having reached the Titled Douluo realm, the Soul Power consumed to resist the cold was negligible to him.
At the entrance of the Ye Residence.
Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan waved goodbye to Ye Lingling.
"We're leaving!"
Both Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan showed reluctance in their eyes.
Ye Lingling's only family was Ye Qingxian, Dugu Yan's only family was Dugu Bo, and Lin Xiao was a mutual friend of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Now, all three of them were leaving.
"You're already so reluctant after just a short departure, what will you do in the future?"
Ye Qingxian glanced at her daughter, scoffing.
"Acting like a little girl, so coy!"
Ye Lingling puffed up her cheeks.
"Mom, I am a little girl!"
Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo had already made arrangements. Whether it was the powerful network of the Nine Hearted Begonia or the formidable reputation of the Poison Douluo, they wouldn't allow the two young girls to encounter any trouble.
So, the only trouble was the reluctance they felt.
Lin Xiao was already walking towards Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian.
He suddenly turned back and smiled.
"We'll take care of the dirty work and heavy lifting."
"Ladies, await good news!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stood there, stunned.
When they came back to their senses, the others were already far away.
