but before he starts, Ray was surprised by Xiao Tao hugging him "REALLY! THANK YOU !!" all the people froze at her action as they were used to her cool and distend character, this was the first time she react like that, but the more surprising was Ray, the moment she huge him he flinches and despair to repair in the other side of the table.
noticing what he did he look away in embarrassment "I won't teach you, I will show you the Rops, as honestly how I create things are impossible for other people"
all of them were confused but he scratch his head "let's leave this talk to later, and let him drink his drink while I make the other ones."
noticing he didn't want to talk they nodded and look at Shaozhe to observe him, he nodded at his wife and drink it but after some moments he feel something and sat down in meditation. ray looks at him for a moment then, only for second his eyes change to fox eyes with only the elders and Ma XioTao noticing.
he sighed and put up what he was doing, and pick the tablet clicked a couple of things on it, then return to his work, after seconds the door opened and a little robot with something on top of it come inside.
he look at elder song who sighed then nodded and look Ceir that also nodded and look at the student "all of you please follow elder song to the other room, as you will be at risk if you stay here."
al the student was confused but did as they were told, on the other hand, ray took dozen of books from his inventory and put them on top of the robot "thous books are copies of what all you need to do in work at my shop, read it carefully while waiting." elder song nodded before leading the student to the other room of Shrek.
but Ma xiao Tao was still standing in her place and looking at Ray for some reason, ray look and somehow understand what she want he sighed and point at an empty chair in the corner.
after they left ray look at the man meditating and his eyes change again for a moment before sighing and looking at Elder Cai Mei'er "your husband really knows how to work someone to the bone." she scratches her cheek in apology as ray shake his head and took the items he brought before.
Ray looks at her then pick up the sticks the throw them around Shaozhe as they start to float forming a visible barrier around him. at the unique sight, both ladies were surprised "look cool, but what is that?"
he look at them again and said with a pissed voice "thous are some soul guides devise that rebound any soul power and stop it from going outside, your 'smart' husband here trying to ride the evolution of his martial soul to force a breakthrough IN THIS PLACE"
XioTao looked confused "that wasn't supposed to happen?" Ray looked at her and sighed "normally yes, but his element just evolved, and he needs some time to reinforce it, but he uses the access energy to break through. that will need a whole another level of energy and....." as he was about to continue light attitude soul power blown from Shaozhe but thankfully its rebound by the barrier.
seeing this, Ray looked at her and pointed at her master "he is a title Douluo going super, what you think will happen to this place if I didn't erect this barrier and that without counting his jump in quality of soul power" understanding where he comes from, she looked away and sighed.
Cai Mei'er look at her husband and sighed 'no matter how old we are you still act without thinking' and that was actually a truth as he didn't bother to ask about anything and only took the chance to break through, after the soul energy calmed down, and the breakthrough succeeds, he didn't stop meditating but start to absorb the energy around again.
noticing this, Ray observe him for while and he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. instead of ending his mediating, he decides to use the remaining energy to strengthen his body, but since he doesn't have enough, he starts to intensely absorb it from the outside, meaning from Ray.
ray looks at Ceir and Ma xio Tao who also notice, but they awkwardly look away, sighing "he is quite greedy" both of them chuckle and keep observing but then his absorption rate raised more than the room can keep up, and started to have a hard time. he looks at Ma Xio Tao that has a nervous face for a moment, he intended to let him absorb what he can and let the integration to him. but thanks to his high level in both cultivation and attitude. and with the new purity of the element he won't have any visual improvement.
he sighed and look at Cai Mei'er and muttering "you guys in Shrek will owe me a big favor for this" saying this he come closer to Shaozhe and activate his lung martial soul intending to use the full power of his purification ability.
-----------Ma Xio Tao Pov----------------
'IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!!!' that was the only thing I could think of at this moment. while concentrating on the master condition, I hear Ray muttering something as he got closer to the master and activate his martial soul, I did know his a soul Ancestor, but this was the first time I see someone with ALL HIS RING BLACK! he completely to of anything even was known, even the sea god (Tang san) didn't have this configuration in his age.
and if this was not enough of a surprise, the moment he activated his martial soul, I feel the evil flame inside me freeze and hid away, for the first time ever I didn't feel those bad feelings and for some reason I feel safe.
my eyes start to water for no reason and start to feel sleepy then everything turns black.
