The Suddenly Erupting Evil Fire!
"Dean, do you think I can go out now?" Ma Hongjun asked again.
Flender snapped back to his senses upon hearing him.
He immediately said, "No."
Ma Hongjun was somewhat speechless. He had already shown that he could protect himself, so why was he still not allowed to leave?
Seeing Ma Hongjun's puzzled expression, Flender said directly, "Even if you have your first Soul Ring, and it's an unprecedented Thousand-Year Soul Ring that has shattered my established understanding of Soul Masters, you're still only a six-year-old child. You absolutely cannot go."
Flender's thoughts were simple.
The Ma Hongjun before him had already surpassed his understanding, but he was undoubtedly a peerless genius—a monster among monsters.
How could he possibly let such a little monster go out and take risks?
Ma Hongjun also roughly understood what Flender was thinking.
In the end, Flender was still worried about his safety.
Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun got a headache.
He had thought Flender would not stop him too much.
But it seemed that because he had revealed his strength, Flender was even more determined to stop him.
As for his Martial Soul and Soul Ring, Flender did not ask any further questions.
Because Flender did not know the reason behind it either.
But it was incredibly defiant of heaven.
And precisely because of that,
Flender was even less willing to let him leave.
Was this what they called trapping himself in his own cocoon?
Seeing Ma Hongjun's depressed expression,
a faint smile appeared on Flender's face.
Then Flender put on a stern expression and said directly, "Hongjun, remember this: don't mention your second Martial Soul to anyone. In truth, you shouldn't have let me know either. Waiting until you've grown strong enough that no one can threaten you before revealing it would be the right thing to do."
"Also, from now on, try not to reveal your second Martial Soul. Use your first Martial Soul to conceal it instead. This world isn't as kind as you think."
Ma Hongjun froze when he heard that.
He had not expected Flender to say such things, but at the same time, warmth filled his heart.
Still, he had to go to Notting City.
Because checking in could earn him rewards, allowing him to rapidly grow stronger.
As long as he did not act too recklessly, there should not be any problems.
So, with a troubled expression, he said again, "Dean, I really have something very important to do in Notting City."
"I know," Flender said.
Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up.
"Dean, you agreed?"
"I didn't agree to let you go," Flender said irritably.
Ma Hongjun was speechless.
But then he heard Flender continue, "You can't go alone. I'll go with you!"
Ma Hongjun was stunned.
Flender was going with him?
This was simply too good for him. For a moment, if not for the conviction in his heart,
he would have been so moved that he wanted to take Flender as his master.
Then Ma Hongjun said, "Wouldn't that be too troublesome for you, Dean?"
Although Ma Hongjun said that, delight was written all over his face.
Flender immediately looked at Ma Hongjun with some disdain.
This brat was taking advantage and still acting innocent.
"Oh, right. Under certain circumstances, it's not that you can never use your second Martial Soul, but absolutely do not tell anyone that your second Martial Soul's Soul Ring was produced by itself," Flender reminded him again.
Ma Hongjun nodded.
He was not an idiot. Naturally, he would not casually tell others about this.
The next day.
Flender, who had only just returned, set off again with Ma Hongjun.
Flender's actions left Zhao Wuji and the others somewhat puzzled.
But Flender had already prepared an excuse. His reason was that he was taking Ma Hongjun to find a Soul Ring.
Thus, Zhao Wuji and the others did not grow suspicious.
That evening, Flender found a small inn, and the two of them checked in.
At first, Flender had only rented one room.
But Ma Hongjun refused to share a room with him no matter what.
Leaving Flender rather speechless.
In the end, Ma Hongjun paid for another room himself.
Flender was good in every way, except that matters concerning the academy had made him far too stingy.
Inside his room,
Ma Hongjun was cultivating on the bed.
The next moment, a strange sensation came over his body.
His entire body became unbearably hot.
Moreover, the strange sensation within him grew stronger and stronger.
For some reason, he thought of the girls of the Douluo World.
At that moment, he wanted them badly.
Ma Hongjun's expression instantly changed.
Was the Evil Fire erupting?
The original story had not described in detail what Ma Hongjun looked like when his Evil Fire erupted.
But it was probably something like this. At that moment, Ma Hongjun felt incredibly hot, as though a ball of fire burned within his body.
Although his body was only six years old, he had developed desires of that sort.
This caught Ma Hongjun completely off guard.
The Evil Fire had not erupted for more than half a month. Ma Hongjun had thought his mutation was developing in a positive direction and that there was no Evil Fire at all.
But now it seemed he had been overthinking it.
Ma Hongjun desperately tried to calm himself down.
But the strange sensation only became more intense. He felt his body temperature rising as well.
"Damn it."
This sudden eruption left him at a loss for what to do.
This town was rather remote.
There did not seem to be any suitable women here at all.
Even if he went to find Flender now, it seemed to be too late.
"Why am I so miserable? So this is how unexpectedly the Evil Fire acts up." Ma Hongjun was nearly in tears.
"System, System? Is there any way?" Ma Hongjun could only ask the system for help.
He could only hope that the system had a way to temporarily solve this problem.
Yet despite his calls, the system gave no response whatsoever.
Ma Hongjun instantly felt like crying without tears.
Could he really go out and randomly find a woman to deal with the Evil Fire?
That was not his style at all, okay? He had always preferred mutual consent.
Besides, in such a remote little inn, it was uncertain whether there were even any girls here.
But the Evil Fire within his body did not care about what he thought.
Once Ma Hongjun considered finding a girl, the Evil Fire became even more violent.
Ma Hongjun felt as though his body was about to explode.
His conscious awareness gradually sank away, and he was about to lose his reason as well.
Just then, a cold voice rang out. "What is going on? Who are you? And what happened to this world? Am I alive again? Or have I arrived in the world of the dead?"
After hearing those words, Ma Hongjun completely lost his reason.
After Ma Hongjun lost consciousness, the Evil Fire within his body erupted completely.
Just as he was about to explode and die, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared.
Then Ma Hongjun's entire body was completely frozen in blue light. For a moment, bone-piercing cold spread throughout the room.
A figure also emerged from Ma Hongjun's body, though it was only half-transparent.
