Petrified Tang San and Xiao Wu

Ma Hongjun has always adhered to the methods of his Teacher Yu Xiaogang to exercise. Starting with practicing body-strengthening exercises, every step he takes on the track at the edge of the Training Field is a testament to his sweat and hard work.

Ma Hongjun also clearly felt himself changing little by little. At the beginning, he was out of breath after running 100 meters, feeling like his soul was about to float out of his mouth, his heavy body was weak and his legs were sore.

Now he can easily warm up by running 1,800 meters. He has also lost weight due to the side effects of Martial Soul Awakening. The swelling in his body has gradually disappeared during exercise. In the past, Ma Hongjun would sweat and have oily face all the time.

Even when he accidentally fell in love with Bai Chenxiang, he didn't dare to approach her. He was very self-conscious about his Martial Soul and body. Everyone could see this, so Tang San and the others never talked about Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul and physique when they were in class together.

Oscar, this good brother, didn't need to train so intensely, but he insisted on training with Ma Hongjun to cultivate his body-refining Body Tempering Technique. Even when Tang San led the team to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well in the Dragon Gate Sect's secret realm for arduous training in the Icefire Undying Golden Body, he still did so.

Aside from Tang San and Yu Linglong, Ma Hongjun has been most dedicated to his work, and now all of this is gradually rewarding Ma Hongjun hard work. The once chubby Ma Hongjun has disappeared.

Now he just looks a bit more robust and chubby. His former round belly has disappeared, and his skin, which used to sweat and get oily easily, has become firmer due to exercise and body-strengthening techniques. His dark hair has become even more vibrant red.

The biggest change was in Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul. His originally variegated feathers began to become bright and beautiful, and his short phoenix tail feathers became longer and more beautiful. He gradually transformed from an old hen that looked a bit like a phoenix into a divine beast phoenix.

Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire was also slowly disappearing. Before, every night after finishing his cultivation, Ma Hongjun would use meditation to cultivate his Mental Power in order to resist the negative emotions and various distracting thoughts brought about by the Evil Fire.

Ma Hongjun was very clever and used the negative emotions and distracting thoughts brought about by the Evil Fire to hone his Mental Power. Every day, Oscar would worry about Ma Hongjun because he was pale and sweating profusely. Since the day he and Ma Hongjun became Flender of Flander and entered the Dragon Gate Sect, Oscar and Ma Hongjun had become good brothers and good friends.

After Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul underwent its first transformation, he rushed out of the simulated cultivation chamber and knelt down in front of Yu Xiaogang, which startled Yu Xiaogang, who was focused on observing Ning Rongrong's cultivation progress!

"Teacher! Thank you for all your hard work with Hongjun these past few days! My Ma Hongjun Martial Soul's ability to evolve and transform once again is all thanks to you! Waaah... My Martial Soul can finally be rightfully called Fire Phoenix..."

After saying that, Ma Hongjun kowtowed several times to Yu Xiaogang. Oscar saw this and wanted to help Ma Hongjun up, but Tang San stopped him and shook Oscar head slightly.

"Everyone has seen how hard Fatty has been cultivating lately. Now his Martial Soul has finally undergone its first evolution and transformation, and all of this was thanks to the teacher. If it weren't for Xiao Ao teacher's help, what kind of person do you think Fatty would have become? Let Fatty thank the teacher properly! This is also Fatty's sincere heart."

Oscar stopped and looked at Yu Xiaogang with a smile. He helped Ma Hongjun up, patted the dust off his knees, and then vigorously rubbed the fat man's spiky hair. He laughed and scolded, "Alright, stop acting like a little girl. Hongjun, your hard work and dedication have all been seen by your teacher. Today, your Martial Soul is undergoing its first evolution and transformation. It is all inseparable from the sweat and effort you have put in in the past."

"However, Hongjun, you must not let your guard down now. Your Martial Soul Evil Fire comes from the depths of your Martial Soul Origin and is not so easy to purify. So you must continue to cultivate diligently and hone your Mental Power. Your teacher will also prepare various cultivation pills and body-nourishing pills for you."

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, then smiled at Tang San's disciples, who were all present. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a warm smile, "You are all my students and disciples. I am proud of your perfect achievements! Like Hongjun, I will provide you with pills for cultivation and health maintenance. I hope you can all become successful!"

"Yes, teacher! We will definitely not let you down!"

Tang San and the others had witnessed the scene just now. They felt that they had met such a good teacher who was so responsible for sharing his cultivation insights with them without reservation and who also cared for and encouraged them.

How could this not get Tang San and his friends' blood pumping?! Especially Ma Hongjun, whose eyes were filled with tears of excitement! "Hey? Fatty, why are you crying?"

"Who... who said that! It's just that the wind was so strong today and dust got into my eyes, making them uncomfortable and causing tears!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing Ma Hongjun's tearful face, Ning Rongrong teased him, and Ma Hongjun's face turned red instantly. He stubbornly resisted, but it made everyone laugh. In the end, Ma Hongjun was embarrassed and started laughing along with everyone.

After the cheerful laughter subsided, Tang San wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked curiously, looking at Teacher Yu Xiaogang, who had been watching their antics with a smile:

"However, I've noticed that you've been refining pills a lot lately, and as you know, I also know a little about herbal alchemy. I see that the main ingredients and supplementary ingredients in the pills you refine are all for replenishing qi and blood, and the medicinal materials are not very old."

Given our current physical condition and cultivation progress, it seems unnecessary. Even if it were refined into a pill and its maximum medicinal properties were activated, it would only provide some assistance. Why is that, Teacher? Besides, those medicinal herbs are quite precious; even for sect disciples, the cost would be too high."

"San-ge told you that the pills your teacher has been refining recently are for you? Your teacher hasn't even started making the pills for your cultivation yet! These are for your junior brother or your son-in-law, San-ge."

"What? The San-ge is only six years old, not even seven yet! Teacher, are you mistaken? Where did the San-ge get a son-in-law from?!"

Yu Xiaogang's shocking words stunned everyone present. Tang San froze for a moment. He was only six years old in this life, still a child. Where did he get a daughter? He wondered if his teacher was joking with him.

Then Xiao Wu was the most excited, blurting out that it was impossible and starting to ask Teacher Yu Xiaogang questions. Ning Rongrong and the others all pricked up their ears, ready to hear this shocking scoop.

"Xiao Wu, San-ge, don't get so excited."

"Teacher! How can I not be excited? San-ge is still a child, how did she suddenly appear with a daughter and a son-in-law to be our junior brothers? Teacher, you're not kidding, are you?"

Xiao Wu gripped Tang San's hand tightly and anxiously asked Teacher Yu Xiaogang. After all, as Tang Hao Ah Yin's chosen daughter-in-law, how could Xiao Wu not be anxious when she heard that Tang San actually had a daughter now? She was not an obedient girl who knew nothing. She had to thank Ning Rongrong for teaching Xiao Wu a lot of human knowledge.

"Hehe, Teacher didn't say it was this world, but the Douluo Continent world ten thousand years later. The reasons are very complicated, which is why Teacher rushed off to go into seclusion before. Teacher has also found a place for you to train later. It's best if you don't have any opponents."

"Douluo Continent ten thousand years from now?"

This is Tang San Xiao Wu's Yu Linglong reaction.

"A self from another world?"

This is Ning Rongrong's Oscar reaction.

"Teacher, what you're saying is too profound, I don't understand..."

This is Ma Hongjun's reaction, a guy whose mind is always on building muscle.

"This is not the place to talk. I'm taking you to a secret base, which is also my real headquarters."
