Background / History

Ma Hongjun is a Shrek Academy student from Douluo Continent. Before his descent, he is shown in Shrek Academy's dining hall eating a roasted chicken drumstick when the heavenly screen selects him alongside Bo Saixi and the Titan Giant Ape 52.

Instead of fearing the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, Ma Hongjun reacts with excitement, believing the cultivation world is an opportunity to cultivate in an “Immortal Realm” 52. He enters the cultivation world wearing Shrek Academy's green uniform and immediately notices the dense spiritual energy, though he has no cultivation technique and can only feel it entering his body as a cool current 52.

In the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, Ma Hongjun encounters Han Yunzhi, a Spirit Beast Mountain disciple. His first reaction is openly lecherous: he approaches her, proposes that they travel together, and attempts to grab her arm despite her fear and refusal 52. When three Giant Sword Sect disciples arrive and threaten Han Yunzhi, Ma Hongjun steps forward to shield her, partly out of vanity and partly to play the protector 52.

Ma Hongjun reveals his Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul and five soul rings, briefly intimidating both Han Yunzhi and the Giant Sword Sect cultivators 52. His Phoenix Fire Wire forces the scar-faced leader back and weakens his defensive barrier, but the cultivation world's laws rapidly drain Ma Hongjun's Soul Power once it leaves his body 52. He is injured and outmatched, and Han Yunzhi uses a powerful fire talisman to save him from immediate danger 53.

A Covering Moon Sect female cultivator, later addressed as Senior Sister Liu, appears and scares off the attackers with charm art 53. Ma Hongjun becomes completely captivated by her beauty and agrees to serve as her guard, ignoring Han Yunzhi after she had saved him 53. Senior Sister Liu then uses him as bait against an Azure Rock Python guarding an Ice Spirit Flower and abandons him once the beast attacks 54.

After exhausting his Soul Power and suffering a broken breastbone, Ma Hongjun is left unable to summon his Evil Fire Phoenix. Tang San assesses him as effectively an ordinary person with no ability to resist in that world 54. He survives the Azure Rock Python only because an Iron-Feathered Giant Eagle attacks, giving him a chance to hide in mud, cover his scent, and crawl away 55.

Ma Hongjun later hides inside a dead tree hollow, enraged by Senior Sister Liu's betrayal and swearing revenge 55. However, the lingering effects of her charm technique and the flaws of his Evil Fire Phoenix trigger an uncontrolled eruption of evil fire, reducing him to a mindless, desire-driven state 55 56. A low-tier Frost Centipede is drawn by the heat and freezes him while he is unable to resist 56.

Appearance

Ma Hongjun is described as a round, plump, red-haired young man in Shrek Academy's green uniform 52.

• Round, barrel-like body 52
• Red hair 52
• Small eyes noted during his encounter with Han Yunzhi 52
• Wears Shrek Academy's green uniform during his descent 52
• Manifests broad flaming wings when using the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul 52
• His body turns purplish red when his evil fire goes out of control 55

Personality

Ma Hongjun is impulsive, lustful, and easily overconfident. Upon being selected by the heavenly screen, he celebrates without considering the danger of the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land 52. His first interaction with Han Yunzhi is predatory rather than heroic, and she immediately sees through his intentions 52.

He also possesses moments of courage and survival instinct. When the Giant Sword Sect disciples threaten Han Yunzhi, he steps in front of her and fights despite being unfamiliar with the cultivation world's rules 52. Later, when trapped between deadly beasts, he uses mud to hide his scent and crawls away without hesitation, earning some praise from experienced mercenaries watching from Douluo Continent 55.

His greatest weakness is lack of self-control. Senior Sister Liu manipulates him through beauty and seduction, and he ignores obvious danger for the chance to stay near her 53 54. Ning Rongrong harshly condemns his inability to suppress his instincts, while Ice Empress and Snow Empress judge his flame as impure and dominated by base desire 55 56.

Abilities & Skills

Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul

Ma Hongjun's martial soul is a top-tier beast martial soul called the Evil Fire Phoenix 54. When activated, it produces purplish-red flames, flaming wings, and five soul rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black 52.

• Grants flight through flaming wings 52
• Produces high-temperature purplish-red flames 52
• Carries a clinging fire effect that is difficult for enemies to shake off 52
• In the cultivation world, Soul Power leaving his body is consumed more than ten times faster due to rejection by the world's laws 52
• Its flaw causes evil fire to overwhelm his reason under stimulation, especially after exposure to charm techniques 55 56

Phoenix Fire Wire

Ma Hongjun's first soul skill releases a wrist-thick pillar of flame from his mouth 52.

• Forces back the scar-faced Giant Sword Sect disciple 52
• Rapidly dims an earth-element defensive barrier 52
• Heats the opponent's greatsword until it turns red 52
• Drains his Soul Power dangerously fast in the cultivation world 52

Survival Instinct

After being abandoned by Senior Sister Liu and nearly killed by the Azure Rock Python, Ma Hongjun survives through quick, undignified action rather than strength 55.

• Hides in a mud ditch to mask his scent 55
• Crawls several hundred meters while injured 55
• Escapes into a hidden hollow in a dead tree 55
• Prioritizes survival over pride when facing demonic beasts 55

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Shrek Academy uniform — green clothing worn when he descends into the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land 52.
• No cultivation-world tools — unlike local cultivators, he is not shown carrying talismans, storage pouches, or magic artifacts.

Relationships

• Han Yunzhi — Spirit Beast Mountain disciple whom Ma Hongjun first approaches with lecherous intent; he later shields her from Giant Sword Sect disciples, but abandons her after Senior Sister Liu appears 52 53.
• Senior Sister Liu — Covering Moon Sect female cultivator who charms and manipulates Ma Hongjun, using him as a scout and bait before abandoning him to the Azure Rock Python 53 54.
• Dai Mubai — Shrek companion who worries for him and recognizes that Senior Sister Liu has been using him from the beginning 53 54.
• Oscar — Shrek companion who cheers for Ma Hongjun at first, then becomes anxious when Ma Hongjun is trapped and injured 52 54.
• Tang San — Shrek companion who analyzes Ma Hongjun's survival chances and concludes he is almost helpless after losing Soul Power and suffering injury 54.
• Ning Rongrong — Shrek companion who condemns Ma Hongjun's lack of self-control and rejects excuses for his degeneration 55.
• Ice Empress — soul beast observer who dismisses his Evil Fire Phoenix as a “mongrel bird” with filthy, impure fire 55.
• Snow Empress — agrees that Ma Hongjun's flame is impure and contrasts him unfavorably with Qian Renxue's pure yang fire 56.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Selection by the Heavenly Screen

Ma Hongjun is selected as one of the new descenders to the cultivation world, together with Bo Saixi and the Titan Giant Ape 52. His reaction establishes his overconfidence: he treats the descent as a chance for glory rather than a survival crisis 52.

Han Yunzhi and the Giant Sword Sect

In the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, Ma Hongjun encounters Han Yunzhi and then confronts three Giant Sword Sect disciples who threaten her 52. His Evil Fire Phoenix initially shocks the cultivators, but the cultivation world's rejection of Soul Power quickly turns the fight against him 52. Han Yunzhi saves him with a fire talisman 53.

Manipulated by Senior Sister Liu

Senior Sister Liu uses charm and flattery to recruit Ma Hongjun as a “guard,” while actually needing him to scout dangerous formation traps 53. She later leads him to an Azure Rock Python guarding an Ice Spirit Flower, using him to test the beast before abandoning him 54.

Escape and Collapse

Ma Hongjun survives the Azure Rock Python because an Iron-Feathered Giant Eagle intervenes, then hides his scent in mud and escapes into a tree hollow 55. His humiliation turns into rage, but the lingering charm effect triggers his flawed evil fire. Unable to control himself, he becomes defenseless and is frozen by a low-tier Frost Centipede 55 56.
