Beat Ma Hongjun!

After Yun Qi finished all this, he raised his knee again and delivered a critical blow, sending Ma Hongjun flying into the air once more. Yun Qi also turned toward Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing and shouted with a grin:

"Didn't this Fatty insult you just now? Let's play ball! Remember to pass the ball!"

Xiao Wu's mischievous spirit was roused as well. Even Ning Rongrong, who had just arrived at the scene, said she wanted to join in! Yun Qi nodded and paid it no mind.

Soon, under Yun Qi's superb ball control, Ma Hongjun was kicked back and forth without ever touching the ground.

But not everyone was Yun Qi, with his powerful physical strength. After kicking him a few times, they discovered that this fatty was simply too heavy and too tiring to kick! Thus, they gave up. After all, they had not even activated their Martial Souls and were only kicking him with their physical bodies. As Yun Qi had said, that was more satisfying this way!

Yun Qi controlled the ball alone for a while and grew terribly bored. After sending Ma Hongjun into the air with one last kick, he stopped receiving him and walked straight toward the girls.

Ma Hongjun finally came down from the sky with great difficulty. His head spun, and the entire world seemed to be rotating. After desperately slapping himself several times, he stared at Yun Qi's back with venom before directly summoning his Martial Soul. Ma Hongjun let out a loud shout!

"Phoenix Possession!"

Yun Qi turned around when he heard the voice. As for the Three Girls, who did not understand what was happening, they heard the word "phoenix" and secretly completed their own possessions. After all, a phoenix was a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, so its battle power was certainly extraordinary.

Under everyone's gaze, Ma Hongjun's entire body became covered in purple-red light. The short hair on his head suddenly grew longer before gathering toward the center. The sides became completely bald, forming a Mohawk hairstyle. His Wings were nowhere to be seen, but his hands were covered in chicken feathers, and his palms had transformed into Claws.

Looking at Ma Hongjun before them, the Three Girls could not help but burst out laughing.

"I've never seen a phoenix that looks so much like a wild chicken. No matter how I look at it, it's just a fat turkey!"

Ning Rongrong nodded as well. After all, her knowledge was broader than that of ordinary people.

"And you have the nerve to call that a phoenix? I've seen someone with a true Ice Phoenix Martial Soul before. How could that splendid and noble aura possibly resemble this scraggly wild chicken?"

Ma Hongjun's current appearance could hardly be blamed for provoking their laughter. When he activated his Martial Soul, he had shouted so domineeringly that he had intimidated everyone! But now, with his round body, long drooping feathers hanging from both hands, and upright hair, if Yun Qi had to describe him, he would have been the leader of the Funeral Love Clan.

Ma Hongjun grew even angrier, as if they had touched his Reverse Scale, and began cursing loudly.

"You ignorant fools! What wild chicken? This is called a phoenix!"

As he spoke, he raised both hands. The Spirit Rings on his body began to shine, and he opened his mouth. A slender purple-red flame shot out from between his lips toward the four of them.

The intense heat created visible ripples in the air. Although the flame itself did not look particularly impressive, the distorted ripples around it revealed how terrifying its temperature was. However, apart from Ning Rongrong, who might not have been able to dodge, the others were all incredibly fast. Seeing this, Yun Qi flashed forward, picked up Ning Rongrong, and retreated beyond the attack's range in a few great leaps.

But Ma Hongjun was not about to let them off so easily. He chased them while continuously spewing flames, flinging the unextinguished fire everywhere.

Yun Qi grew somewhat annoyed. He directly summoned his Martial Soul, and the Moon Shadow Sword appeared in his hand. Along with the appearance of his Martial Soul, his Spirit Rings suddenly emerged around him.

Ma Hongjun stared at the man before him, who was around the same age as himself, and discovered that he was actually a Four-Ring Soul Sect Master. What frightened him even more was the Spirit Ring Configuration: three purple and one black! Every Spirit Ring radiated an extremely powerful pressure.

Ma Hongjun looked at the two Yellow Spirit Rings on his own body and fell silent. He stared blankly at Yun Qi.

Seeing this, Yun Qi said nothing. Whether Ma Hongjun was dazed or not, since he had provoked Yun Qi, he had to pay the price!

Yun Qi's First Spirit Ring began to shine, and the Moon Shadow Sword immediately released a strange sword aura. Ma Hongjun hurriedly spewed flames toward it, but the moment the sword aura entered the fire, it vanished without a trace. Ma Hongjun smugly assumed that the purple Spirit Ring was merely for show and could not compare to his own flames.

But in the blink of an eye, he could no longer smile. The sword aura appeared directly inside Ma Hongjun's mouth, instantly silencing him while he was still spewing fire. The flame was no longer a straight stream but sprayed in every direction, while the sword aura continuously churned inside Ma Hongjun's mouth.

Just as Yun Qi was about to slice off Ma Hongjun's tongue, Flender arrived in time with Cuihua. It turned out that Cuihua had ultimately taken pity on him and told Flender what had happened here. Flender had not dared to delay and had flown over with Cuihua immediately.

Flender came to Ma Hongjun's side and used his Soul Power to disperse Yun Qi's sword aura. He then told Ma Hongjun to stop the flames that were burning his own body.

When the flames were withdrawn, Ma Hongjun was seen spitting black smoke. His entire head was completely bare, without a single hair left. Fortunately, these were Ma Hongjun's own flames, so they had not caused him much harm. However, every strand of hair and eyebrow on his head was gone!

When Ma Hongjun saw Flender's arrival, it was as though he had found a backer. He hurriedly said:

"Teacher, help me teach them a lesson!"

Looking at Ma Hongjun, Yun Qi felt a vague sense of déjà vu. After thinking for a while, he only remembered it when Zhu Zhuqing reminded him. Wasn't this exactly the same as when Dai Mubai had asked for help?

Seeing that his disciple had been beaten, Flender's expression turned unpleasant. He asked Ma Hongjun:

"How did you get into a conflict with them?"

Ma Hongjun hurriedly said:

"Teacher, you know about the flaw in my Martial Soul, so..."

The moment Flender saw Ma Hongjun's evasive gaze, he knew what had happened! This boy had definitely relied on his status as a Spirit Master, thinking that no one nearby would dare provoke him. He had also assumed that since they were around the same age, they could not possibly be more talented than him. He had never expected to provoke someone he could not afford to offend!

Ma Hongjun had seen the Martial Souls and Spirit Rings of the Three Girls. Not one of them was weaker than his own!

Flender was furious. He still did not know whether Yun Qi and the others would remain at the academy. The previous night, Tang Hao had even come over and specifically instructed him to take care of Yun Qi and Tang San. Clearly, Tang Hao regarded Yun Qi as Tang San's future ally!

Flender did not dare do anything to Yun Qi. After thinking it over, he slapped Ma Hongjun on his completely bald head and shouted sternly:

"Hurry up and apologize to your classmates!"

Looking at Flender's face, which was so gloomy it seemed ready to drip water, Ma Hongjun did not dare argue. He merely bent toward the four of them and mumbled softly:

"I'm sorry..."

Everyone pretended not to hear him. Seeing their wandering gazes, Flender could tell that they clearly did not accept Ma Hongjun's apology. He struck Ma Hongjun's head forcefully once more. He had to admit, the sensation was quite satisfying!

"Louder!"

Flender's tone startled Ma Hongjun. No longer caring about his dignity, he immediately bent at a ninety-degree angle and shouted:

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I shouldn't have said those things. Please forgive me!"

Yun Qi nodded toward the girls, and they indicated that it was fine.

Only then did Yun Qi say indifferently:

"You don't only need to apologize to us. You also need to apologize to Cuihua beside you! She at least satisfied your beastly desires, yet you treated her like this and even told her to get lost!"

When Flender heard this, he struck Ma Hongjun's head with another heavy slap. Hearing the crisp sound, he felt considerably more refreshed, then shouted at Ma Hongjun:

"Apologize!"
