Zhu Zhuqing's Extraordinary Talent! Ma Hongjun's Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix!

"Can I learn it?"

That question caught First Hong off guard.

First Hong glanced at the Livestream Room.

"God of Speed": Mortals generally need to use divine artifacts to perform Divine Skills, and their power will be greatly diminished.

Huh? But I've already used three Divine Skills?

"God King of Destruction 002": This Livestream Room is simply too miraculous. I have studied it to this day, yet still cannot grasp its fundamental principles.

"Nine Color Goddess": Besides, the Divine Skills you used were so weak they were hardly worth looking at. They were more like Self-Created Soul Skills such as Ring Detonation.

So that was how it was.

Then could other people learn Divine Skills too and release weakened versions of them?

"God of Speed": Without your Livestream Room, they would likely only be able to use divine artifacts as a medium.

"Nine Color Goddess": That's simple. Just tailor-make a divine artifact for them and store the Divine Skill inside it.

"God of Phoenix": Hey, hey! Those are divine artifacts! They're very precious! Do you think they're as common as Golden Needle Mushrooms?

Uh, Iron Nail Bed Board, Fundoshi, Barefoot Shoes? First Hong asked skeptically.

"God of Phoenix":

"God of Phoenix": Buddha God is a First-Level Godhood. His divine blood can be used to create low-level divine artifacts. Second-Level Godhoods like us can't do that. We can only gather the materials ourselves and have someone like the Craftsman God forge them.

"Nine Color Goddess": You're just too lazy. Phoenix fire is perfect for forging. Tang San has been trying to cultivate you, but you refuse.

"God of Phoenix": Is that cultivating me? He clearly wants me to work like a horse!

"Nine Color Goddess": You're an Undercover Agent anyway. Just take the initiative to mention using up his resources, then run off with people afterward.

"God of Phoenix": Huh? Good idea! I'll give it a try.

First Hong: "..."

He had a feeling that guy had been tricked again.

A few seconds later.

"Nine Color Goddess": Fatty isn't on the viewer list anymore. He really went?

"Nine Color Goddess": Then everyone can commission divine artifacts from him in the future.

Just as expected!

There was a trap.

But—

He's only just started learning. Can he really make use of it? First Hong asked.

"God of Speed": Divine artifacts for mortals don't need to be too advanced. A low-level God Official is enough. As long as the materials are decent, any forging god can do it with their hands.

"Nine Color Goddess": If divine artifacts of this level weren't too low-end for the Craftsman God to even bother lighting his forge, Fatty wouldn't have been needed.

Tsk!

What a miserable god.

"God of Emotion": Have you all forgotten that this Livestream Room has replays?

"Nine Color Goddess": It's no big deal. Fatty has a good temper. He won't get angry.

First Hong nodded in agreement.

He wasn't called the group's punching bag for nothing.

"Cawww!!!"

A clear phoenix cry rang out.

The Flame Garment on Ma Hongjun's body surged upward and fused with his Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, forming a handsome phantom nearly six feet tall. It had wings on its back and clearly defined muscles.

Its aura was astonishing.

After several seconds.

The phantom dispersed and merged into the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, filling out the somewhat thin wings and sending wisps of black smoke curling from its body.

Boom!

A wave of heat suddenly erupted, sending the temperature soaring even higher than before. The fiery-red phoenix Martial Soul spread its wings, raised its slender neck, and cried out to the heavens.

It had finally shed the flaw of its evil fire and transformed into a true top-tier Martial Soul!

Ma Hongjun shot to his feet excitedly. His formerly bloated body had slimmed down drastically, and even his fat face looked unexpectedly handsome?

Even Oscar shaving his beard had not been this outrageous a transformation.

"My Martial Soul evolved!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed excitedly.

"The evil fire has been completely removed. Now, all that remains is the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix, Supreme Yang and pure!"

"I finally don't have to hold it in anymore!"

"My level has also broken through to Rank 30!"

"Hong Ge, I really love you!"

He danced with excitement and rushed toward First Hong, intending to hug his thigh.

Flender grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

Though he was happy as well, he had not forgotten what First Hong had said earlier—don't bother him again.

They had accepted the goods, so they had to do the job too.

"Hey! Old man!" Ma Hongjun said unhappily. "Let me get close to Hong Ge! Let me go!"

"Stop fooling around." Flender frowned. "Since we're finished, we'll set off. A hundred-kilometer sprint ahead!"

He carried Ma Hongjun and took off running.

Tang San and the other "normal people" immediately followed.

Dai Mubai and Oscar, meanwhile, trembled with every step as they lagged behind at the very end.

Zhao Wuji glanced at First Hong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were still embracing, and hesitated as if he wanted to say something.

Shao Xin dragged him away.

Li Yusong was the one who called out, "You two, don't fall behind."

Then he ran off too.

Only Zhu Zhuqing remained, her arms around First Hong's neck as she waited for his answer.

"Normally, no."

Zhu Zhuqing did not change much. It was within expectations.

Then First Hong changed his tone—

"But our relationship is obviously not normal."

"I'll find a way, but it'll take some time."

Zhu Zhuqing straightened her upper body in surprise!

There was a chance?

That was wonderful!

Little did she know—

That movement pressed most of her ample softness against First Hong's chest.

Soft and springy, enough to make one want to...

How could he endure that?

First Hong leaned forward and kissed Zhu Zhuqing.

As someone from the Agility Attack System, she clearly had enough time to dodge.

But she did not.

—First Hong had said it himself. Their relationship was not ordinary.

Their lips touched, their heartbeats quickened, and their hormones surged.

The kiss left Zhu Zhuqing dizzy, to the point that she even forgot to breathe.

Only when they separated.

Did she take a deep breath, drawing air into her lungs.

Oh my god!

This feeling of "almost dying" was freaking thrilling!

It was an experience she had never had before.

First Hong set Zhu Zhuqing down, then—

Smack!

He slapped her perky backside, feeling its astonishing elasticity as he watched the rare shyness on Zhu Zhuqing's face.

Only then did he remind her—

"If you don't catch up soon, you'll really fall behind."

"Or do you want to fly with me?"

He spread his Phoenix Wings and invited Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat tempted.

Flying through the nine heavens!

But—

She still shook her head and refused.

"Why?" First Hong raised a brow. "You don't want me to hold you as we fly into the sky?"

"That's not it." Zhu Zhuqing explained, "Running is also part of the training curriculum. It helps temper the body."

What a thing to say.

Couldn't flying train her too?

First Hong touched his Space Ring and took out a palm-sized disc, then slapped it onto Zhu Zhuqing's back.

The disc opened on both sides and clasped onto Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders before extending into a pair of metal wings.

"This is a Flying Soul Tool, a Third-Level Soul Tool," First Hong explained. "You use Soul Power to control it in flight. It can greatly train your Soul Power control. Just like training your body, it's also cultivation."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for several seconds.

Streams of air shot out from beneath the Mechanical Wings, carrying her rapidly into the sky.

So she had not been considering it—she had been studying the Flying Soul Tool.

It was her first flight, so naturally she lacked experience.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly lost her balance and dove toward the ground.

First Hong flashed over and supported Zhu Zhuqing by the waist, keeping her steady.

The two trained her control of the Flying Soul Tool like that, one above and one below.

And then—

The benefits appeared!
