Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Erupts

Gu Ye watched Zhu Zhuqing's departing figure and smiled in satisfaction.

Personally instructing Zhu Zhuqing just now would surely leave a lasting impression on her.

Once the opportunity arose, that most precious drop of blood from Zhu Zhuqing would be his for the taking.

Gu Ye then wandered around the Great Spirit Arena. As he strolled, he happened to run into Tang San and Xiao Wu participating in a two-person spirit battle.

After watching for a while, Gu Ye stopped paying attention.

Instead of watching Tang San and Xiao Wu, he might as well go watch Zhu Zhuqing, that little kitten.

"Physician Gu."

Just then, a staff member came up behind Gu Ye.

Hearing himself being called, Gu Ye turned around. Seeing the anxious look on the man's face, he asked, "Is there an injured person?"

"Yes, yes. We'd like to trouble Physician Gu to help treat them." The staff member nodded.

"Lead the way."

"Certainly, Physician Gu. Please follow me."

After speaking respectfully, the staff member walked ahead to guide Gu Ye.

Before long, Gu Ye arrived beside a Soul Arena Stage.

The injured man was a Soul Grandmaster whose chest had been punched through, leaving a hole. Ordinary healing spirit masters would have found it difficult to restore such an injury.

After examining him, Gu Ye took out the items needed for surgery and summoned his Martial Soul Surgical Blade. A flash of white light spread out, forming a Surgical Space that enveloped the unconscious injured spirit master, and he began the operation.

The staff members and spectators nearby were all amazed by Gu Ye's method of treatment.

A short while later, the Soul Grandmaster whose chest had been pierced through woke up, and Gu Ye had healed most of his injuries.

"Alright, release your Martial Soul."

Having finished the treatment, Gu Ye naturally had to collect his fee. Martial Soul Blood was his main reason for coming here.

"Alright!" The treated patient released his Martial Soul without hesitation.

It was a long staff, and it looked fairly powerful.

Gu Ye quickly made a cut with his blade and drew the Martial Soul Blood from the staff. After collecting it, he had the system test it and discovered that it was only low-grade Martial Soul Blood. He inwardly sighed in disappointment.

Gu Ye then continued wandering around Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena. Wherever there were injured people, there was his figure.

"Charge!!"

"Kill him!!"

"Kill him!!!"

As he passed a Soul Arena Stage, Gu Ye heard the passionate cries. He glanced at the stage and discovered that Ma Hongjun, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, was in a spirit battle. He stopped to watch for a while.

On the Soul Arena Stage, Ma Hongjun spat blazing flames, looking imposing and heroic. His opponent was a Soul Grandmaster who had won ten consecutive matches in the arena, with a falcon Martial Soul. Yet he was currently being forced back again and again by Ma Hongjun.

"Mm, with Hongjun's strength, he'll definitely win. Looks like I can make quite a bit from this match again."

Gu Ye had originally intended to leave after watching Ma Hongjun's spirit battle for a while, but upon hearing that familiar voice reeking of a profiteer, he turned around and saw that it was indeed Flender, that unscrupulous merchant.

Using his own disciple as a betting stake to make money—only he could do something like that.

Gu Ye saw Flender, and naturally, Flender saw Gu Ye as well.

"Ah, isn't this Physician Gu? You're watching Hongjun's spirit battle too?" Flender put away his sly grin and cheerfully walked over to greet Gu Ye.

Gu Ye shook his head and smiled. "Dean Flender is certainly in high spirits."

"Sigh! It isn't easy for the headmaster of a small academy like mine to earn a little living expense." After saying that, Flender stood beside Gu Ye and looked toward the stage, his face full of delight.

Seeing that Flender had not left, Gu Ye was in no rush to go elsewhere and also looked toward the Soul Arena Stage.

Gu Ye's gaze was sharp. Looking at Ma Hongjun, who was forcing the falcon Martial Soul spirit master back step by step, he smiled. "Dean Flender, your disciple may be in some trouble."

"Oh? Why do you say that, Physician Gu?" Flender asked curiously.

Since Gu Ye was now a physician at Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena, Flender was quite polite to him.

"Your disciple's blood and qi are surging within him. Though his flames are quite powerful, his opponent is an agile and cunning spirit master who knows very well how to make use of his speed advantage. As for your disciple's Martial Soul, it seems to have some flaw. Because of that flaw, he will undoubtedly lose before long."

Upon hearing this, Flender's smile instantly vanished. He stared at Gu Ye. Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul did indeed have a flaw, and he had not expected Gu Ye to see through it.

He then turned back toward Ma Hongjun on the Soul Arena Stage. When he noticed that Ma Hongjun's complexion was indeed somewhat off, he suddenly thought of something.

"Oh no!"

Thinking of Ma Hongjun's evil fire, Flender cried out in alarm.

At that moment, on the Soul Arena Stage, Ma Hongjun—who had just been forcing the falcon Martial Soul spirit master back step by step—suddenly felt the energy within his body surge. In an instant, his face turned red as if it had been set ablaze.

This change abruptly interrupted Ma Hongjun's attack.

The falcon Martial Soul spirit master facing him sneered. "You've finally exposed an opening."

"Second Soul Skill: Bloodshed Eagle Claw."

Whoosh! Seizing the instant Ma Hongjun paused, the falcon Martial Soul spirit master flew at him like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.

Ma Hongjun was clearly not himself at this moment. The beast-transformed eagle claw of the Falcon Martial Soul master slammed heavily into his chest.

Bang! A powerful force burst forth. Several vivid red gashes appeared across Ma Hongjun's chest, and he was sent flying backward, crashing out of the arena.

"Urgh!!"

"So hot!!"

"So hot!!!"

Ma Hongjun rolled across the ground in unbearable agony after being knocked away, continuously tearing at his clothes.

The referee had wanted to announce the result of the match, but he froze in shock when he saw red heat rising from Ma Hongjun's body.

From the spectator stands outside the arena, Flender recognized that Ma Hongjun's evil fire had erupted. He quickly leaped down and hurried over to help Ma Hongjun up.

But Ma Hongjun had already lost his mind to the evil fire. When he saw Flender helping him up, he directly mistook Flender for a woman.

Then Ma Hongjun did something that made all the spectators around the Soul Arena Stage burst into laughter.

Mistaking Flender for a woman, Ma Hongjun hugged him and tried to kiss him while making several indecent movements.

"Damn it, why did the evil fire have to erupt at a time like this?"

Flender did not care that Ma Hongjun had kissed him. He circulated his Soul Power to help Ma Hongjun suppress the evil fire in his heart.

He had dealt with this many times before. After all, every time Ma Hongjun's evil fire erupted, he had been the one to handle it.

"Looks like I'll have to take this brat to a brothel first."

Just as Flender was about to knock Ma Hongjun unconscious and take him to a brothel to find a woman to resolve the evil fire, he suddenly thought of Physician Gu.

People in Suotuo City spoke of his medical skills as though they were miraculous. He was also the healing physician at the Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena. Since he had seen Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul defect and the eruption of his evil fire just now, perhaps he had a way to treat it.

Flender then called out to Gu Ye, "Physician Gu, you're a physician at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. Ma Hongjun is injured now, so why don't you come and treat him?"

Hearing Flender so unceremoniously tell him to treat Ma Hongjun, Gu Ye walked down speechlessly.
