Background

Ma Hongjun was the sole surviving descendant of the Blazing Sect after its destruction by Spirit Hall. The sect's leader, Nine Emperor Douluo, entrusted him to Flender, who raised him while concealing the circumstances of his lineage. Relics collected by Nine Emperor Douluo were intended to be transferred to Ma Hongjun once he was mature enough to stand on his own. 21 22

According to Li Xiaoyao, Ma Hongjun's inherited Nine Heavens Neon Phoenix Martial Soul was mishandled: Flender allegedly mistook its innate flame for Evil Fire and suppressed it, causing its vital blood to stagnate and the Martial Soul to regress into a malignant mutation. 20

Appearance

Ma Hongjun is repeatedly described as short, fat, and chubby, with crimson hair before Li Xiaoyao's attack. 19 36

• His body and face aged by approximately twenty years after Life Deprivation. 19
• His crimson hair withered white following the loss of vitality. 19
• After the attack, he was described as having the appearance of a man in his thirties. 35

Personality

Ma Hongjun is impulsive, lewd, greedy, and confrontational. He repeatedly disregards boundaries with women, first attempting to coerce Cuihua during their breakup and later harassing Ning Rongrong. 18 20

He is openly resentful over the loss of Nine Emperor Douluo's legacy and willing to threaten Ning Rongrong despite knowing her connection to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 34 37 His greed often overrides caution, though he becomes fearful when confronted with genuine consequences or personal danger. 35 37

He also habitually provokes others, claiming that Flender taught him that those unwilling to cause trouble are mediocre. This attitude leads him to instigate a conflict with Blue Sunshine Academy despite Tang San's warning. 47 48

Abilities & Skills

Evil Fire

The Evil Fire is Ma Hongjun's defining limitation and a major cause of his destructive behavior.

• Li Xiaoyao lists several possible remedies, including the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Phoenix Wings, an ancient exotic beast inner core, or a suitable top-tier Meditation Method. 23
• The Mysterious Heaven Skill is identified as potentially capable of suppressing the Evil Fire, but Tang San refuses to teach it to him. 23 24

Story Role / Major Arcs

Conflict with Ning Rongrong

After Cuihua breaks up with him, Ma Hongjun turns his attention to Ning Rongrong and makes lewd advances. Li Xiaoyao intervenes with Life Deprivation, stripping away twenty years of Ma Hongjun's lifespan and Soul Power. 18 19

Flender attempts to protect his disciple and minimize the incident, but the confrontation exposes Ma Hongjun's connection to the Blazing Sect. Flender subsequently surrenders Nine Emperor Douluo's inheritance to Li Xiaoyao in exchange for information that could save Ma Hongjun from Evil Fire. 20 21 23

Pursuit of the Mysterious Heaven Skill

Resentful over the inheritance and desperate to resolve his Evil Fire, Ma Hongjun demands that Tang San teach him the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Tang San deters him by claiming that he must first destroy his own cultivation and risk death; Ma Hongjun withdraws his request out of fear. 34 35

He then openly threatens Li Xiaoyao and Ning Rongrong and attempts to rob Ning Rongrong of the inheritance. Flender physically restrains him to prevent Shrek Academy from offending the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 36 37

Star Dou Great Forest and Death

During the journey to the Star Dou Great Forest, Ma Hongjun is beaten by Dai Mubai, embarrasses the group through his gluttony, and provokes Blue Sunshine Academy after ignoring Tang San's warning not to cause trouble. 43 44 47

When the Titan Giant Ape attacks the group, Li Xiaoyao uses an Angel Head Soul Bone skill to simulate a peak Titled Douluo aura around Ma Hongjun. The enraged Titan Giant Ape identifies him as the source of the provocation and kills him with a single punch. 51 52
