"Eh, now that you mention it, it really does seem that way. My Evil Fire is gone." Ma Hongjun checked his body and said in surprise.

"I have a bold guess."

Li Chen looked around and said slowly, "Fatty's Evil Fire doesn't actually have to be vented through doing that kind of thing. Getting beaten up works too!"

Ma Hongjun looked at Li Chen strangely. He felt that something was off, but seeing the sincerity in Li Chen's eyes, he could not think of any reason Li Chen would want to harm him.

Xiao Wu laughed and called out, "That's good, that's good! You're an Assault System Soul Master, so improving your ability to take hits would be good too. You'd be killing two birds with one stone."

"If it really works, Fatty, I'd advise you to give it a try too. Look at you—you have to visit a brothel every few days. Not only does it cost a lot, but your body is already terribly weak. This can't go on forever."

Dai Mubai was sincerely trying to persuade him this time, but the method Tang San brought up clearly tempted Ma Hongjun even more.

"Actually, that isn't the only solution. Although this method seems easy—you just need to get beaten up regularly—it has major flaws."

"On one hand, it can't completely cure this flaw. On the other, as Ma Hongjun's level gets higher and higher, are you supposed to find a high-level Soul Master to follow him around every day, ready to beat him up at any time?"

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Ma Hongjun, who had been somewhat happy, immediately drooped his head.

"Then do you have a good solution?"

"Immortal Herb!" Tang San said decisively.

"As long as you can find an Immortal Herb suited to you, I can be absolutely certain of curing your Martial Soul's flaw."

"Then what kind of Immortal Herb do I need?" Ma Hongjun asked curiously. Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu also crowded over with great curiosity.

Only Zhu Zhuqing was shaken to the core, because she had long heard the words "Immortal Herb" through Li Chen's inner voice and knew just how heaven-defying their effects were. She knew Li Chen knew where Immortal Herbs could be found. Did this Tang San know as well?

Looking at Ma Hongjun's curious expression, Tang San slowly revealed the name of the Immortal Herb: "Cock's Comb Phoenix Sunflower!"

"According to my analysis, although the Evil Fire in your body increases the power of your flames, it will gradually erode your body. You may not see the effects in a short time, but after long enough, even Gods won't be able to save you."

Tang San let out a sigh.

Ma Hongjun stepped forward and grabbed Tang San's arm. "You have to save me! We're classmates!"

Because Tang San was standing so close to Ma Hongjun, he seemed able to smell the lingering stench of an unwashed latrine on him.

"Let go first."

Tang San pulled his arm free from Ma Hongjun's smelly grip.

"The Immortal Herb most suitable for you is called the Cock's Comb Phoenix Sunflower. It can filter the impurities in your body and purify the flames within you."

"With this Immortal Herb, not only can your flames become stronger, but the Evil Fire in your body can also be completely removed."

Ma Hongjun lunged forward and hugged Tang San tightly.

"Tang San, if you can get me an Immortal Herb, then from now on, you'll be my Adoptive Father—my second father who gave me new life."

"Give me a break. I don't have a son as lecherous as you."

Tang San shoved Ma Hongjun away again in disgust, while his burning gaze fixed on Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

At that moment, Li Chen's inner voice sounded in Zhu Zhuqing's mind again.

Tang San is trying to make empty promises again to reap benefits. This kid has no idea where Immortal Herbs are. He's just using his mouth to paint a grand picture and fool these people into becoming utterly devoted to him.

Zhu Zhuqing pondered inwardly. According to Li Chen, Li Chen should know exactly where the Immortal Herbs were, while Tang San merely knew that they existed in this world.

"Zhu Zhuqing, the Immortal Herb most suited to you is the Water Lily Jade Muscle Bone. This Immortal Herb can enhance your beauty, nourish your muscles and bones, and has gentle medicinal properties."

Beg me, Zhu Zhuqing. Could this Immortal Herb really not tempt you? As long as you beg me, when I find the Immortal Herbs, I'll give you one. Once I become a God, perhaps I can take you along and grant you the divine position of a Third-level God.

Yet to Tang San's surprise, Zhu Zhuqing showed only the slightest bit of astonishment at first, then practically no reaction at all.

"Zhu Qing, did you understand what I said? That's an Immortal Herb. As long as you have one, you can make up for your lack of talent. Becoming a Titled Douluo would no longer be a dream."

Ma Hongjun was even more anxious than Zhu Zhuqing. After all, if everyone asked Tang San for one, he would not stand out so much, and the favor he owed Tang San would be easier to repay.

"Zhu Qing, that's an Immortal Herb—something that can only be encountered, never sought. Why aren't you hurrying to thank Tang San?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing still had no reaction, Tang San immediately decided to turn his attention to Ning Rongrong first.

"Rongrong, your Martial Soul is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. If I'm not mistaken, your ancestral Martial Soul should have been the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. But as time passed, your Martial Soul gradually degenerated and eventually became the current Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"As long as you obtain an Immortal Herb, it may be possible for your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to undergo Martial Soul Evolution into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Furthermore, there is a high chance that your descendants will inherit your Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Your family will no longer be limited to cultivating only to Level 79. Instead, you will be able to cultivate directly to the rank of Titled Douluo."

Although Ning Rongrong knew that her family's Martial Soul flaw was no secret in the Soul Master World, Tang San actually knew a way to resolve it, which astonished her greatly.

"Tang San, how do you know the solution to my Martial Soul's problem? Our family has researched it for so long and tried every possible method, yet we still don't know how to make the Martial Soul evolve."

Tang San smiled calmly. Yu Xiaogang's usefulness had arrived. And Teacher, I'm not harming you—I'm making you famous. Once Ning Rongrong knows, that means the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the second-ranked sect on the entire continent, will know too.

Besides, I'm establishing your authority for you. Otherwise, when you arrive with your Level 29 Soul Power, how will you convince everyone?

"All my knowledge was taught to me by my teacher!"

"Your teacher?"

The uninformed Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

Tang San raised his head. "My teacher is the Soul Master World's famous theory master, Yu Xiaogang. My teacher is renowned alongside several Limit Douluo."

"What are Limit Douluo? I've only heard of Titled Douluo." Ma Hongjun interrupted Tang San.

"A Titled Douluo is a Level Ninety Soul Master. Once you reach Level 95, you can be called a Super Douluo. If you can cultivate to Level 99, then congratulations—you will be among the strongest beings in the world, a Limit Douluo."
