Evil Fire Phoenix or Evil Fire Hen

Flender soon learned what kind of Martial Soul the carefree chubby boy in front of him had awakened. He saw that Ma Hongjun had originally had a calm expression, turned completely black and red when the martial soul awakening Soul Power Martial Soul Awakening Soul Tool began to guide the Martial Soul Awakening.

"Ouch! It's so hot! It's so hot! I'm on fire! Grandpa Village Chief, help me!"

After Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul was fully awakened, his body was engulfed in blackish-red flames resembling viscous liquid. His originally short black hair turned wine-red. The Martial Soul Awakening Soul Tool, which should have been very sturdy, was now glowing red after being tainted by the blackish-red flames, demonstrating how terrifying these flames were.

Flender was speechless when he saw Ma Hongjun, who had changed so much. It was the first time he had ever seen Soul Master who could be injured by his own Martial Soul Flame. He could only use his own Soul Power to help suppress it. However, Flender's Martial Soul was of the Wind attribute. If it weren't for his powerful strength as Titled Douluo, Ma Hongjun would have been dead.

Flender pulled Ma Hongjun over for a closer look, even checking his bone strength. He frowned when he realized he couldn't feel Ma Hongjun's bones. Looking up again, he saw that Ma Hongjun, who had just been a little chubby, seemed to have gained weight, turning from a chubby boy into a chubby little fatso.

Flender stroked his chin, puzzled, and said, "That shouldn't be! How could such a powerful fire attribute Martial Soul have such a big impact on the body? Hey? Fatty, why are you sticking your butt out like that?"

Ma Hongjun blushed and stammered:

"Lord Soul Master, I... I'm in a bit of pain. I feel hot all over, it's so uncomfortable!"

Flender used his Mental Power to investigate, but the kid in front of him was quite strange. His Soul Power was surging and flowing rapidly within his body. Was this what made him just a little brat? Flender felt his eyes had been opened. He had seen all sorts of strange Martial Soul, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a shady Martial Soul. Fortunately Yu Xiaogang had given Flender an Ice Attribute Soul Tool Pendant when he left, saying that it would come in handy later. My brother Xiaogang was truly prescient.

Seeing Ma Hongjun's face turn bright red, Flender took out the ice-attribute Soul Tool pendant from his Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Ma Hongjun was struggling to hold back, saying, "Little fatty, you're really lucky. Fortunately, you met me, the dean of the academy. I have enough resources, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help you with your Martial Soul Mutation. Quickly put on this pendant to suppress the strange Fire Attribute Soul Power in your body."

Ma Hongjun was immediately relieved and bent over to accept the strange ice-blue Soul Tool handed to him by Flender. Ma Hongjun's posture made the remaining children stifle their laughter. If it weren't for Ma Hongjun's authority as the king of the kids, they would have burst into laughter long ago.

However, the villagers didn't care about Ma Hongjun's feelings. After all, they were all uncles and elders who had watched Ma Hongjun grow up. The villagers' laughter made his face even redder. Ma Hongjun quickly put on the ice-blue pendant that Flender had given him.

He immediately felt his intensely hot Soul Power return to calm, but his body, which had been Soul Power, could not return to its original state.

Ma Hongjun touched the fat that had completely transformed into a round face, then looked down at his toes, which were now invisible. Before, even though he was fat, he could still see his feet! Ma Hongjun looked at Flender with a mournful expression and said, "Lord Soul Master, what should I do? How did I suddenly become like this? I wasn't this fat before!"

Flender reached out to stop Ma Hongjun's wailing, then looked up at the evaluation given by the Martial Soul Awakening Soul Tool. Ma Hongjun, seeing Flender's gaze, turned to look as well, only to see that the once brand-new machine was now a mess after being burned by his Martial Soul Awakening Device. He cautiously glanced at Flender, wondering if he would have to pay for it. Flender didn't take Ma Hongjun's thoughts to heart. He looked at the evaluation given by the Martial Soul Awakening Soul Tool. However, it was probably burned by the Evil Fire; the Soul Tool Rune inside were slightly damaged, and the void projection screen flickered, showing how troublesome Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire had been.

The following information was displayed on the flickering projection screen.

Name: Ma Hongjun (already recorded in the database)

Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix? (An incompletely awakened Mutated Martial Soul evolved from a mutated Grass Chicken Martial Soul Mutation)

Innate Soul Power: Level 9 (Innate talent damaged due to Martial Soul influence) Physical Strength: Average (The Five Elements within the body are disordered due to Martial Soul Awakening; it is recommended to balance them as soon as possible)

Flender's eyes lit up as he looked at Ma Hongjun, which sent a shiver down the spine of the chubby boy, making him feel like he was being watched by the strange old man.

Flender smiled and asked the slightly frightened Ma Hongjun, "Little fatty, your name is Ma Hongjun, right? Have you become my disciple? I am the dean of the top Shrek Academy on the Douluo Continent! Moreover, my Martial Soul is also a flying bird, which is perfect for me to be your guide and teacher. Don't worry about your Martial Soul problem, Ma Hongjun, your teacher will find a way to solve it."

As an orphan, Ma Hongjun was very perceptive. When he saw that Flender, Lord Soul Master dressed in gorgeous clothes, wanted to take him as a disciple, he immediately bowed down, even though he was unaware of the Shrek Academy's current reputation on the Douluo Continent.

Oscar smiled and approached Ma Hongjun, extending his hand and saying kindly, "Hello, junior brother. I'm the eldest disciple of our teacher, and I'm seven years old this year. You can call me Oscar or Xiao Ao. My Martial Soul Sausage, and I Innate Full Soul Power. From now on, we'll be brothers! By the way, Ma Hongjun, what's your Martial Soul? Why don't you show it to your senior brother?"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head shyly and said:

"Hello, Senior Brother Xiao Ao! You can just call me Fatty from now on. Calling me by my name is too formal. I'll show you and our teacher my Martial Soul. When my Martial Soul Awakening, I felt something was about to burst out, and in the end, I got burned by that black flame."

After speaking, Ma Hongjun made a constipated expression, trying to recall the feeling he had when his Martial Soul Awakening. As Flender's eye twitched, a loud phoenix cry rang out from Ma Hongjun, making Flender's eyes light up with anticipation—after all, it was the legendary phoenix! A level-one Beast Martial Soul! A pair of tiny black and red wings appeared behind Ma Hongjun, but a red phoenix phantom also appeared behind him. Why was this phoenix so fat? A large body and small wings; if it weren't for the phoenix head and magnificent phoenix tail feathers, it would look like an old hen! Ma Hongjun felt something behind him, turned around, and saw that he had actually grown wings. He immediately began to curiously control and flap them, intending to see if he could fly.

Then everyone present saw a chubby little boy, almost as round as a ball, flapping his little wings and struggling to fly. After Ma Hongjun used all his strength and Soul Power, he could only lift his feet a little bit off the other side before he couldn't bear his own weight and fell to the ground panting. After all, the Phoenix Martial Soul is the most top-level Beast Martial Soul, and without the attached Spirit Ring, even summoning it is difficult. Moreover, Ma Hongjun felt that after he summoned the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, he found that the heat in his body was rapidly dissipating.

All the villagers and children in Golden Chicken Village were amused by Ma Hongjun's actions and burst into laughter. Ma Hongjun responded with a shy smile, saying that as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed.

Flender sighed and facepalmed at Ma Hongjun's display of Martial Soul. He had already agreed to take the chubby boy in front of him as his disciple, and now that Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul Mutation and evolved to the halfway point, he could only rely on Yu Xiaogang to help him. Flender really didn't know how to handle such a complicated situation. Asking him to fight was no problem, but asking Flender to do research was like asking him to lie down and do nothing.
