Martial Soul Awakening—Grass Chicken Phoenix

Martial Soul Awakening—Grass Chicken Phoenix

Flender happened to notice Ma Hongjun's expression.

Kid, regretting it now, aren't you? Flender thought.

In his eyes, the boy was definitely regretting it, and that was exactly what he wanted from the little fatty.

Even Flender himself did not know why he was competing with this little fatty.

Because they had wasted time, Ma Hongjun and the others hurried along.

Fortunately, they had not been very far from the place where Spirit Hall was conducting the village's awakening ceremony.

In less than five minutes, they arrived.

Although they had been delayed, the awakening ceremony had not yet begun.

Several people were already here.

Most of them were children from the village.

Ma Hongjun knew nearly all of them.

They had basically been brought here by adults.

But since the adults had work to do, they had all left.

Still, they knew the village chief would make the arrangements.

Besides, this place was close to the village, so there was naturally nothing to worry about.

The person from Spirit Hall responsible for the awakening was a young man. Although Ma Hongjun and the others had not arrived especially late, the Soul Master was clearly quite displeased.

When he saw the village chief, impatience showed on his face.

"Why are you only arriving now? Does your village not want to awaken your Martial Souls? What a hassle. I still have several more villages to visit! I really don't know what the higher-ups were thinking. How could a tiny place like yours possibly produce a Soul Master? This is simply a waste of time," said the Spirit Hall Soul Master.

Ma Hongjun frowned slightly at that.

Was this really the quality of Spirit Hall's Soul Masters?

He was quite a bit worse than the one from Holy Soul Village.

Although Sith felt uncomfortable upon hearing those words, he immediately apologized. "Honored Lord Soul Master, we ran into some trouble on the road and were delayed for a while. We have caused you inconvenience."

Ma Hongjun felt a little upset, but he knew these were the rules of this world.

The Soul Master conducting the awakening said, "Enough, enough. Don't explain yourself to me. I can't be bothered to listen. Get them lined up quickly. I still need to go to the next village, and time is tight. If I'd known, I wouldn't have accepted this task. If that guy hadn't had something to do, why would I have come?"

Ma Hongjun formed a guess upon hearing that.

The Soul Master before them probably came from some small family.

He had only come here to pad his credentials; someone else had originally been meant to awaken them.

No wonder he was so arrogant.

Generally speaking, those who awakened Martial Souls for commoners like them were commoner Soul Masters.

Under such circumstances, their attitudes were naturally much better.

Sith hurriedly thanked him.

Then, under the impatient gaze of the awakening Soul Master, he signaled for Ma Hongjun and the others to enter the awakening room.

Once everyone had taken their places,

the man took out the tools needed for the awakening ceremony.

There were several Soul Power crystals and a Soul Power testing orb, which he began arranging.

After everything had been prepared,

he pointed at the child standing at the front of the line. "You, come over and stand inside."

The child who had been called looked a little nervous.

Perhaps it was because this Soul Master's attitude was truly terrible.

He was very frightened.

"What are you afraid of? Hurry up. Don't waste my time," said the awakening Soul Master.

The child became even more frightened upon hearing that, but he still walked over.

The awakening Soul Master did not waste any words. "Martial Soul Possession."

As his voice fell,

Ma Hongjun saw a leopard-like Martial Soul appear behind him, while his entire body became more leopard-like as well.

Two yellow Soul Rings rose around him.

Two hundred-year Soul Rings. No wonder he's so arrogant, Ma Hongjun thought.

In this world, there really were not many Soul Masters with perfect Soul Ring configurations.

Under his manipulation, the child became dazed.

"Hold out your right hand," the man ordered.

The little boy immediately held out his right hand.

Ma Hongjun could see the shape of a chicken gradually appearing in the little boy's palm.

Seeing the Martial Soul's appearance, the man calmly said, "Your Martial Soul is an ordinary domestic chicken. It's a very common Martial Soul."

He then handed over the crystal orb.

"Place your hand on it," the man ordered again.

The little boy did as he was told.

But after he placed his hand on it, there was no reaction at all.

"Alright. Just as I expected, you have no talent. You can leave. Next," the man said directly.

The little boy's face was filled with deep disappointment.

The next several children all had ordinary poultry as their Martial Souls.

As for Soul Power, almost none of them had any.

That only worsened the awakening Soul Master's mood.

Then it was Ma Hongjun's turn.

The man's attitude was just as terrible as it had been toward the previous little boy.

But Ma Hongjun ignored him.

After Ma Hongjun had taken his place,

Soul Power surged from the man's hands.

Ma Hongjun instantly felt a warm energy enter his body. Then, before the other man could speak, he directly extended his right hand.

An intense aura of flame emerged.

The Soul Master, who had been extremely impatient just moments ago, instantly widened his eyes.

Such might during awakening meant that the person before him possessed a powerful Martial Soul.

Had he encountered a genius?

Outside the room, Flender also sensed the fluctuation and froze.

Compared to the awakening Soul Master, he could feel the strength of Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul more clearly.

He just did not know whether it was an illusion.

He had also sensed another aura, one that made even him tremble.

But it vanished in a flash.

He immediately entered the room.

At once, he saw Ma Hongjun in the middle of his awakening.

Then he froze.

This little fatty actually had such a powerful Martial Soul?

Was he going to lose?

Then both of them focused on Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul, only to be dumbfounded.

Because Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul was a chicken, but it was completely featherless.

It was hideous beyond belief.

Ma Hongjun also felt a little awkward, because his Martial Soul was truly ugly.

The others' Martial Souls might not have been impressive, but at least they had been normal chickens. His was simply unbearable to look at.

The instant Flender saw it, a phrase flashed through his mind.

"Martial Soul mutation."

The little fatty's Martial Soul had truly mutated.

What they did not notice, however, was that there was also a tiny dragon in Ma Hongjun's left hand.

"I thought it was some powerful Martial Soul. It's only a grass chicken, and such an ugly one at that," said the Soul Master responsible for the awakening, his face full of disdain.

Ma Hongjun immediately became angry.

He finally understood why Ma Hongjun would get angry whenever someone called his Martial Soul a grass chicken.

Because it truly sounded awful.

"This isn't a grass chicken. It's a Phoenix," Ma Hongjun said directly.

"This? A Phoenix? Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

The man burst into laughter.

Perhaps seeing Ma Hongjun's unconvinced gaze,

the man said disdainfully, "Trash is trash. A tiny place like this will never produce any kind of genius."

Even a clay figure had some temper, let alone Ma Hongjun.

"Who are you calling trash?"

"Obviously you. What, not convinced?" the man said directly.
