Ma Hongjun's Self-Created Soul Skill

Flender and the others in the pavilion watched Oscar and Ma Hongjun with pleased expressions. Although Shrek Academy only accepted geniuses, over the years, Oscar was the one who had satisfied them the most.

Because one was influenced by those around him, Oscar had also influenced Ma Hongjun. Thus, although one was only eight and the other six, the feeling they gave off made the teachers unable to help but feel that these two children were already in their teens.

Seeing that both had already released their martial spirits, Zhao Wuji spoke again. "The match... begin!"

As Zhao Wuji's words fell, Ma Hongjun moved even before Oscar. Soul power surged across his body surface, then flames erupted, directly propelling his whole body five meters forward.

There had only been ten meters between them to begin with. Now that Ma Hongjun had advanced another five meters, only five meters remained.

The instant Ma Hongjun was propelled forward, the yellow First Spirit Ring on his body surface lit up.

Having just closed to within five meters of Oscar, Ma Hongjun spat out a ten-meter-long fire serpent. It was his First Spirit Ability: Phoenix Fire Line.

Ma Hongjun's burst was swift, but Oscar knew him too well. After all, Oscar had been the one to teach him this method of using the explosive force of flames for instantaneous bursts.

The moment Ma Hongjun charged at him, Oscar knew it was too late to retreat and immediately chose to run sideways. Only that way could he avoid being struck directly by Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line.

Although Oscar was Level 22, he could not possibly take Ma Hongjun's flames head-on. A Spirit Power Gap was one thing, but Oscar himself was not resistant to fire.

What was more, Ma Hongjun's flames were adhesive Evil Fire. Once they latched on, they were difficult to extinguish.

Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line erupted in an instant. By the time it struck Oscar's original position, Oscar had already moved two meters sideways. Yet Ma Hongjun did not give up, and the Phoenix Fire Line followed Oscar's movement.

With another two meters' worth of time to react, Oscar pushed off with both legs and swiftly retreated three meters, narrowly avoiding the sweeping Phoenix Fire Line.

Though Ma Hongjun's attacks had strong burst power, their range was an unsolvable problem. His First Spirit Ability currently only had an attack range of ten meters.

But Ma Hongjun was no longer as flustered as he had been before. Seeing Oscar dodge his attack, he instantly dismissed his First Spirit Ability, and flames erupted from his body surface again as he prepared to catch up and continue attacking.

However, the instant Ma Hongjun charged forward, light flashed from the Soul Tool on Oscar's right hand. A brow-high Iron Club appeared instantly and swung toward Ma Hongjun.

At the sight, the corners of Ma Hongjun's lips rose slightly. A large amount of soul power had already gathered in his right hand, wrapped in countless wisps of Evil Fire and formed into a claw as it reached directly for the Iron Club Oscar had swung out.

"Flame Claw!"

Ma Hongjun shouted, his face filled with confidence.

This was what Flender had taught Ma Hongjun over the past month, based on the method Oscar had previously described to him.

It was a claw-shaped attack formed from compressed Evil Fire, attached to both hands to create an explosive single-point strike.

It could be considered a Self-Created Soul Skill.

Ma Hongjun's claw collided with the Iron Club and instantly crushed it to pieces. Without losing any momentum, it continued toward Oscar's face.

Oscar was rather surprised by the sight. Although the Iron Club was not a martial spirit, it was still made of iron. Yet Ma Hongjun, who was only Level 14, could already unleash such an attack. He truly deserved to be called a genius.

More importantly, Ma Hongjun must have only learned this move recently. He had not yet mastered it when Oscar left, yet even so, being able to unleash such an attack was already impressive.

Just as smugness appeared on Ma Hongjun's face, he froze the next moment.

Oscar directly threw away the Ice Iron Club. Azure light flickered in his left hand, and an Azure Jade Sword measuring 1.2 meters appeared instantly, slashing toward his Flame Claw.

Although Ma Hongjun was surprised, he did not give up. Instead, his attack became even fiercer.

Even more intense Evil Fire erupted from his Flame Claw as it clawed toward Oscar.

Clang!

The Jade Sword slashed directly against the Flame Claw, producing a resounding ring. The Attack Power of the Azure Spirit Jade Sword, which was already comparable to the martial spirit of a Weapon Spirit Master of the same level, went without saying. With its cutting property added on top, it nearly severed Ma Hongjun's right hand outright.

The soul power and Evil Fire on Ma Hongjun's Flame Claw dispersed at a terrifying speed. Fortunately, the force Ma Hongjun unleashed blocked the Jade Sword's slash, sparing his right hand from being cut off.

"Ah!" Ma Hongjun cried out in pain. "Brother Ao, what kind of soul skill is that? It actually broke my Flame Claw!"

Panting heavily, Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar standing before him with an Azure Jade Sword in hand and could not help asking.

With his current strength, using Flame Claw once was already his limit. Now that Flame Claw had been broken, Ma Hongjun no longer had the strength to fight and decisively conceded defeat.

Hearing Ma Hongjun's question, Oscar smiled faintly. "That move is decent, but it's still a bit inferior to mine."

Hearing Oscar's words, Ma Hongjun looked a little speechless, but his admiration for him grew a bit stronger.

It was not merely because Oscar's words sounded impressive, but because Oscar had broken his Flame Claw with a single sword strike!

Flender and the others in the pavilion were all delighted and incredulous at the sight.

Flender was delighted, while Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and the others were incredulous.

Zhao Wuji had merely told them to come watch a show. He had not told them about Oscar's External Soul Bone.

Now that they had seen it, how could they not be astonished? After all, the teachers had all witnessed Ma Hongjun's improvement over the past month. Now, Oscar had broken Ma Hongjun's attack with one strike, more than enough to shock them.

Lu Qibin, the most knowledgeable among them, could not help praising him. "Xiao Ao really is lucky. The power of this External Soul Bone has likely already reached the standard of an Assault System Weapon Spirit Master of the same level."

Hearing Lu Qibin's words, Li Yusong and Shao Xin both looked astonished, while Flender expressed his approval of Lu Qibin's knowledge.

Meanwhile, Oscar calmly withdrew the Azure Spirit Jade Sword and softly said to Ma Hongjun, who had slumped onto the ground, "Hongjun, your progress this month has been good, but you still cannot slack off. You need to keep working hard."

Zhao Wuji smiled at this and stopped paying attention to the two little fellows. After all, the winner had already been decided.

Ma Hongjun nodded and said earnestly, "Brother Ao, I'll work hard."

Then Ma Hongjun continued, "But Brother Ao, can you tell me what that sword of yours was? I didn't see you use any soul skill either."
