Ma Hongjun's Treatment Method

Gu Ye took one look and knew exactly what was going on with Ma Hongjun.

He took out a sedative and jabbed it straight into Ma Hongjun's butt. Once the medicine entered his body, Ma Hongjun, who had been howling and randomly kissing and groping Flender, immediately calmed down.

Seeing Gu Ye so effortlessly stabilize Ma Hongjun's erupting evil fire, Flender, who was holding him, curiously looked at the item in Gu Ye's hand. "Physician Gu, what is that? How is it so effective?"

After all, whenever Ma Hongjun's evil fire erupted in the past, one or two women were needed to resolve it. Yet Gu Ye had cured him with just one injection!!

"Good stuff." Gu Ye smiled and put the sedative away.

"Is that so?" Flender withdrew his gaze and checked Ma Hongjun's condition. Once he found that Ma Hongjun's evil fire had subsided, he recalled Gu Ye's identity and the item from earlier, and his eyes lit up. "Physician Gu, as a treatment physician at the Great Soul Arena, now that Hongjun has been so seriously injured in the arena, shouldn't you help treat him?"

With that, Flender looked at Gu Ye with a smiling squint.

Seeing Flender's sly smile, Gu Ye looked at Ma Hongjun, considered his mission for a moment, and said, "Come with me."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Physician Gu." Flender carried Ma Hongjun and followed Gu Ye.

He did not know whether Gu Ye would truly treat him, nor did he expect Gu Ye to be able to cure Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul defect.

But after seeing Gu Ye suppress Ma Hongjun's evil fire with a single injection earlier—

If he could get that item from Gu Ye, then he would not have to worry whenever Ma Hongjun's evil fire suddenly erupted in the future.

Soon, Gu Ye arrived at the Treatment Room inside the Great Soul Arena.

Flender followed closely behind. After placing the unconscious Ma Hongjun on the bed, he looked at Gu Ye and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you, Physician Gu."

Gu Ye did not mind. He walked to Ma Hongjun's side and examined the condition inside his body.

He had originally wanted to extract Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul Blood, but unfortunately, he would only have a chance to do so if Ma Hongjun actively released his Martial Soul. With Ma Hongjun unconscious now, extraction was impossible.

After putting on a convincing examination, Gu Ye looked at Flender and said, "I more or less understand his condition. A Martial Soul defect is causing uncontrollable eruptions of evil fire."

"Then does Physician Gu have a way to treat it?" Flender asked anxiously.

He had sought out many healing Soul Masters over Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul defect, but in this world, who could cure a defect in a Martial Soul?

Yet Gu Ye had seen through Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul defect at a glance and had even suppressed it so quickly, giving Flender a flicker of hope.

If Gu Ye could cure Ma Hongjun, then... in the future, he would not have to worry about Ma Hongjun's condition as he had just now. Nor would he have to endure Ma Hongjun kissing and groping him at random, only to finally take Ma Hongjun to a brothel to find women.

Hearing this, Gu Ye merely smiled without speaking.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the unconscious Ma Hongjun and held up one finger. "There is one way to resolve his evil fire!"

"What way?" Flender looked at Gu Ye with slight excitement.

Gu Ye shook his head. "This method is very unusual. You will find it hard to accept, and Ma Hongjun will not accept it either. Whether I say it or not makes no difference."

"Physician Gu, no matter what method it is, as long as it can treat Hongjun's evil fire, anything is fine. Please tell me. This is extremely important to both Hongjun and me."

Gu Ye looked at the unconscious Ma Hongjun, then at the anxious Flender, and sighed. "Fine. Since that is the case, I'll tell you."

Flender watched Gu Ye with an expectant expression. He desperately wanted to know what method could treat the evil fire in Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul.

"The method is to castrate Ma Hongjun," Gu Ye said flatly.

"Uh!"

Flender's face darkened. He stared fixedly at Gu Ye, his expression utterly bizarre.

"Gu Ye, are you joking with me?" Flender had lost his earlier politeness, and there was even some anger in his eyes.

Castrate Ma Hongjun? That would mean ending his bloodline! How could Gu Ye even say such a thing?

Gu Ye secretly laughed, but said, "Dean Flender, you were the one who asked me to tell you. Besides, this really can treat Ma Hongjun's evil fire."

"You should understand that Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is defective. Once it erupts, evil fire invades his body. Am I right?"

"That's right, but what does that have to do with castrating... Hongjun?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." Gu Ye smiled confidently and continued, "Tell me, whenever Ma Hongjun's evil fire erupts, don't you usually take him to find women so he can vent it?"

"That's right." Flender nodded.

"That is the most crucial point. When Ma Hongjun's evil fire erupts, he needs women. After the two engage in physical intimacy and he vents it, Ma Hongjun's evil fire is vented as well. But one day, if there are no women around him, or if under special circumstances his evil fire erupts and cannot be suppressed, he may very well explode and die."

"But castration would allow Ma Hongjun to vent his evil fire without needing women."

"Because the evil fire can leak out on its own, or he can vent it himself."

Though Gu Ye was secretly laughing, he was not joking. What he said was also true.

Ma Hongjun's current condition was like practicing the Evil-Warding Sword Manual without castrating himself. As long as he castrated himself, his evil fire would automatically drain away, or he could expel it himself. After that, Ma Hongjun would become the greatest man on Douluo Continent.

After hearing Gu Ye's explanation, Flender's face was still dark, but after considering it, he found that Gu Ye's words seemed to make some sense.

Ma Hongjun needed women to vent his evil fire whenever it erupted. If Ma Hongjun were castrated, then perhaps the fire really could vent itself, or Ma Hongjun himself could... Wait. Flender realized that he had actually begun following Gu Ye's line of thought, and it made his head burn with irritation.

Ma Hongjun was his personal disciple, and he was also a man. What would it even mean if he were castrated?

Not only would Flender refuse, Ma Hongjun himself would never agree either.

"Dean Flender, I told you earlier that saying this method or not saying it would make no difference. Now that I've told you, whether you do it is a matter for you and Ma Hongjun."

"Alright, he will be fine for the time being. I still need to go outside and help. Think it over carefully yourself, or discuss it with him once he wakes up. What matters more—his life, or... that?"

After saying this, Gu Ye turned to leave.

But Flender called out to him again, his expression grave. "Physician Gu, is there no other way?"

"Not for now."

And even if there were, Gu Ye would not be kind enough to treat Ma Hongjun. They were neither related nor acquainted; if not for wanting to collect Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul Blood, he would not have been so polite as to tell Flender that castration alone could cure Ma Hongjun's evil fire.

Watching Gu Ye leave the Treatment Room, Flender looked at Ma Hongjun, his face full of conflict.

As long as Ma Hongjun was castrated, his evil fire could be completely cured.

If he was not, Ma Hongjun could only seek women to vent his urges, and one day he might suffer the fate of exploding to death.

"Sigh! Forget it. We'll discuss this matter another day. Hongjun's body isn't in any serious condition right now anyway."

Flender had made up his mind. He would not tell Ma Hongjun about this method for now. If they truly reached a point with no way out, perhaps he could still let Ma Hongjun make the choice himself.

After leaving the Treatment Room, Gu Ye arrived at the Soul Arena in the Soul Grandmaster section.

Just as he stepped out, a staff member hurried over.

"Physician Gu, there's a seriously injured patient here. We need your help treating them."

"Lead the way."

"Yes."

Before long, Gu Ye learned who the staff member had meant by a troublesome patient.

It was a male Soul Master injured by Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing stood off to the side with her arms folded. When she saw Gu Ye arrive, a hint of warmth appeared on her otherwise lifeless face.
