Background

Ma Hongjun is Shrek Academy's final student to be introduced and a direct disciple of its dean, Flender. He identifies his Phoenix martial soul as the Evil Fire Phoenix, whose lustful “Evil Fire” compels him to seek relief at brothels. 20 28

When Yu Xiaogang attempts to recruit him as a disciple, Ma Hongjun refuses to answer independently without Flender's approval. He also insists on being addressed by his full name rather than “Little Fatty.” 39

Appearance

Ma Hongjun is repeatedly referred to as a “Fatty” or “Little Fatty” and is noted to have small eyes. 20

• Manifests red Soul Power during Martial Soul Possession. 30
• Had two yellow Spirit Rings when he first confronted Ye Lin. 20

Personality

Ma Hongjun is blunt, lecherous, and readily confrontational. On first meeting the female students at Shrek, he openly evaluates them by appearance and makes crude demands toward Dai Mubai, prompting Ye Lin to beat him down. 20

He is quick to anger when he believes a teammate has abandoned the group. After Tang San flees during the Titan Giant Ape attack and Xiao Wu is taken, Ma Hongjun immediately moves to attack Tang San and blames him for failing to use Blue Silver Entanglement to save her. 29 30

Despite his crudeness, he is protective of his academy companions and willing to challenge authority. He investigates suspicious figures in the dean's office alone, and he openly dismisses Yu Xiaogang's claim to be a Shrek teacher. 40 96
