Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun

The next morning, Jiang Huai walked out of the boys' dormitory. He looked at the sun at this hour and remarked, "This sun is the most suitable for sword practice."

After saying this, Jiang Huai vaulted directly over the railing. He took "Jiang Ling" out from his waist-worn storage Soul Guidance Device, gripped the hilt, and began practicing the most basic sword stances.

This scene happened to be seen by Ning Rongrong, who had just woken up to find water. Jiang Huai's sword-swinging movements reminded her of her childhood, when Sword Grandpa would practice his swordsmanship at the estate in exactly the same way.

Every swing Jiang Huai made sent droplets of sweat flying. The aura he exuded was as if he were destined to become the next Sword Douluo.

Ning Rongrong decided that she must find a way to recruit him into her sect. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the second of the Upper Three Sects and possessed the number one support-type tool spirit on the Wuhun Continent.

Soon, an hour of sword practice passed for Jiang Huai. He placed his sword back into his Soul Guidance Device and then went to the waterfall behind the academy to take a shower.

When Jiang Huai returned to the dormitory, he saw that Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Tang San had already woken up. Jiang Huai greeted them one by one, "Good morning."

Dai Mubai and Oscar both nodded in response, "Good morning, Jiang Huai."

Tang San walked over to Jiang Huai's side, looked left and right, and asked, "Brother Huai, where are Gu Yue and Xiao Wu?"

Jiang Huai shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know either. I don't even know which dormitory they are in."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai said, "Oh? You're asking where the girls' dormitory is, right? Just go out, turn left, and it's the first wooden house."

Jiang Huai nodded and turned to head there, with Tang San following behind. On the way, Tang San asked Jiang Huai about the methods for crafting Soul Guidance Devices, but Jiang Huai refused to give him any blueprints.

Just as they reached the girls' dormitory, the door opened. Xiao Wu was the first to walk out, taking a breath of fresh air. Gu Yue walked out looking somewhat haggard, as if she hadn't slept well.

Jiang Huai stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Gu Yue's shoulders, asking, "Didn't you sleep well?"

Gu Yue nodded in Jiang Huai's embrace and replied, "Mm."

Jiang Huai asked, "How about I take you to wash your face?"

After Gu Yue nodded, Jiang Huai helped her walk toward the small stream behind the mountain. He took a towel from his Soul Guidance Device, dampened it, and handed it to her.

Gu Yue twisted her body and said, "You help me wash it."

Hearing this, Jiang Huai gently helped Gu Yue wipe her face. Her eye corners, nose, and ears were all wiped clean. After this, Gu Yue seemed to become more spirited, and her face gained a bit of a rosy glow.

Jiang Huai couldn't help but pinch her cheek. Gu Yue suddenly grabbed his hand and pressed her lips directly onto his.

Jiang Huai's eyes widened. Xiao Wu, who had just come up saying she also wanted to wash her face, saw this scene the moment she arrived. Tang San, seeing this, immediately turned his back and began reciting the Heart-Calming Mantra.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Yue let go of his lips. Then, like a little kitten, she licked Jiang Huai's face and walked away.

Jiang Huai was still a bit dazed, touching the face that had been licked, and laughed, "This girl."

Soon, the four of them were walking through the small village. While strolling, they heard an argument ahead. The four of them immediately went to investigate and found a fat boy harassing a girl.

Xiao Wu, acting out of a sense of justice, shouted, "What are you doing? Let that girl go right now!"

Hearing this, the fat boy, who was wearing a red jacket and had red, cockscomb-styled hair, turned around. Seeing that the person speaking was a little girl, he immediately let go of the girl he was holding.

The fat boy spoke rudely, "Yo! Where did this little beauty come from? Do you want to take her place as my girlfriend? Fine! I agree."

Xiao Wu retorted angrily, "Pah, pah, pah! You fat pig, I don't want to be with you! If I were to be with anyone, it would be Brother Huai or Little San. Who would like someone as fat and ugly as you?"

The fat boy was enraged and cursed, "Hey! You little brat—" He turned his head and saw Gu Yue, who was holding your arm, and then he boasted shamelessly, "Oh ho! There's another top-tier beauty here! Why don't you come be with me? Look at your little boyfriend, he looks like a pretty boy; he definitely can't give you the pleasure you want."

At these words, Jiang Huai's hand had already moved to the side of his storage Soul Guidance Device. Tang San saw this and pressed down on his hand, saying, "Brother Huai, it's not worth it for this hillbilly."

The fat boy wasn't intimidated and said, "Kid, I'm talking here, get lost."

Tang San's expression changed in a second to a cold, icy look as he said, "Who did you say you were the father of?"

The fat boy continued to act arrogantly, "Whoever is standing here, I am their father."

Jiang Huai pressed down on Tang San's shoulder. He was very angry now and needed something to vent his frustration on. Jiang Huai slowly stepped forward, looking coldly at the cockscomb-haired boy.

Jiang Huai threw a punch. The fat boy, seeing him attack, immediately activated his Phoenix spirit to block the blow, but he didn't expect to be sent flying anyway.

The fat boy's hand was still numb. The moment he stood up, the temperature around his body rose and exploded. Gu Yue reached out to block the incoming heat.

Jiang Huai had eaten a few burgers before leaving, so he wasn't affected by the heat. A pair of fiery red wings appeared behind the fat boy.

The fat boy sneered, "Let me show you what a Phoenix is."

After saying this, the fat boy snapped his fingers, and several chickens appeared around them. Jiang Huai felt something was wrong and kept a wary eye on these chickens.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, laughed out loud, "This is called a Phoenix? Hahaha! Isn't this just a chicken?"

The fat boy was furious and spat a mouthful of flames toward Xiao Wu. Gu Yue appeared in front of Xiao Wu, her right palm facing the incoming fire.

After the flames hit Gu Yue's palm, ice shards fell from her hand. The fat boy also felt the flames on his body weakening, and he stopped spitting fire.

But just as he withdrew the flames, a heavy punch landed on his face. He tried to fight back, but Jiang Huai slapped him back and then struck his fat face with a palm.

Jiang Huai used his full strength for this slap, causing the boy's face to swell visibly, and he even spat out a tooth that had been knocked loose.

Following that, just as he tried to raise his hand, Jiang Huai slapped it back down, causing him to be on the receiving end of a beating. Every time he tried to raise his hand, it was slapped back down with great force.

Jiang Huai asked while hitting him, "Who is whose father?"

The fat boy's face was already swollen. He wanted to say that Jiang Huai was his father, but the sounds coming from his mouth were just muffled whimpers.

After a while, a voice came from behind, "Little Huai, what are you all doing?"

Jiang Huai turned his head and saw Dai Mubai looking at them in confusion. The fat boy broke free from his control and hid behind Dai Mubai.

The fat boy gestured to Dai Mubai, wanting him to help teach Jiang Huai a lesson, but he couldn't speak clearly and just kept making muffled whimpering sounds.

Jiang Huai saw Dai Mubai approaching and rubbed his wrist, which had grown sore from slapping the other man. He walked over to Gu Yue and said, "This kid was harassing a decent woman in broad daylight."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai looked over and saw Cuihua standing not far away. Seeing her state, Dai Mubai immediately understood what had happened.

Consequently, Dai Mubai laughed and said, "It's fine, they are boyfriend and girlfriend. Fatty is just trying to win back his love."

Upon hearing this, Fatty flicked his arm and crouched on the ground, drawing circles in the dirt. Not only did he not help, but he even exposed his own humiliating history.

Jiang Huai realized he was in the wrong, so he used his first soul skill to create a hamburger and handed it to Ma Hongjun.

"A layer of cheese on the burger, soul power flows like a weaver!"

Seeing the fragrant hamburger, Ma Hongjun grabbed it and took a bite. The injuries on Ma Hongjun's body recovered rapidly, and his soul power returned to its peak state.

Jiang Huai smiled and said, "Although my soul skill cannot heal injuries directly, my martial soul possesses inherent healing properties."
