Douluo Talents Ranking, Sixth Place: Ma Hongjun!

Heaven Dou Empire, Sunset Forest, outside the wooden hut by the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

A plain, unremarkable wooden hut stood with a reclining chair placed in front of it.

An old man with long green hair lay on the chair.

A faint fishy stench lingered around him.

The old man's name was Dugu Bo.

He was a Titled Douluo whose soul power had reached Level 92.

His title was Poison.

Dugu Bo knew Tang San. Not only did he know him, but Tang San had also cured the physical ailment that had plagued him for years.

Watching the contents of the golden light screen in the sky and seeing Tang San give Immortal Herbs to both Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, Dugu Bo could not help but grow curious. With a puzzled expression, he muttered to himself.

"Immortal Herbs are incomparably rare. Any normal person who got one would absorb and use it themselves. Yet that brat Tang San gave them away, and not just to one person, but two. One Immortal Herb each. So where did he get so many Immortal Herbs?"

The moment Dugu Bo finished speaking to himself, he froze as though struck by lightning.

Dugu Bo suddenly remembered something.

Near the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo had a medicinal garden.

And Tang San had previously ransacked Dugu Bo's medicinal garden.

He had dug it up three feet deep, leaving nothing behind!

Could the Immortal Herbs Tang San gave Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai have come from Dugu Bo's medicinal garden?

Gulp...

Dugu Bo swallowed hard.

He no longer dared to keep thinking about it.

Dugu Bo did not know much about Immortal Herbs.

And if things were really as he suspected, then how many Immortal Herbs had he lost? Even if it was not ten, it had to be five, six, seven, or eight, right? After all, Tang San had handed out two Immortal Herbs at once!

Dugu Bo rose from the reclining chair.

He no longer felt like lying down.

He was going to find that brat Tang San and get some answers.

If the Immortal Herbs Tang San had given away truly came from him, Dugu Bo would definitely take revenge on Tang San, even if Tang San's father was Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo renowned throughout the world.

There was no helping it. Tang San had gone too far. In that enormous medicinal garden, he had not even left Dugu Bo a single ordinary blade of grass.

No sooner had Dugu Bo risen from his chair than the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking revealed the fifth Soul Master on the list.

[Sixth place on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking: Ma Hongjun of Shrek Academy!]

Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy, on the grass outside the girls' dormitory.

"Fat Master is ranked sixth?"

"That result is pretty good."

"Though it's a little lower than Little Ao's, it's higher than Big Brother Dai's!"

Ma Hongjun smiled as he spoke, his face full of satisfaction with his ranking.

The Golden Ranking soon began introducing Ma Hongjun.

[Ma Hongjun, male, is from the Heaven Dou Empire on Douluo Continent. Like Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who previously appeared on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking, he is a student of Shrek Academy.]

[Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is somewhat similar to that of Shui Bing'er, who ranks eighth on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking.]

[Both of their Martial Souls are Phoenixes.]

[Only their attributes differ.]

[Shui Bing'er's Phoenix Martial Soul possesses the ice attribute.]

[Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Martial Soul, however, possesses the fire attribute!]

[The fire controlled by Ma Hongjun's fire-attribute Phoenix Martial Soul is no ordinary fire.]

[It is Evil Fire!]

[Deadly Evil Fire!]

[Because of the Evil Fire, Ma Hongjun has to vent his fire at regular intervals. If he does not, he will explode and die!]

[In other words, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Martial Soul is inferior to Shui Bing'er's Phoenix Martial Soul.]

[So why is Ma Hongjun ranked above Shui Bing'er on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking?]

[That's right, it is because of Tang San again!]

[Tang San also gave Ma Hongjun an Immortal Herb!]

[That Immortal Herb is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, a fire-attribute Immortal Herb.]

After the imposing voice entered Tang Hao's ears, Tang Hao, who had remained silent, strode straight out of the pitch-black cave.

Tang Hao was going to Shrek Academy.

If he did not beat that spendthrift brat Tang San, Tang Hao would not be able to sleep tonight!

That spendthrift Tang San had already given away three Immortal Herbs!

Tang San, prepare yourself to learn just how powerful the Clear Sky Hammer was.

How had he, Tang Hao, beaten the Vigorous Vajra Zhao Wuji back then?

That was how he would beat Tang San in a moment!

Spirit City, Papal Palace.

As her beautiful eyes fixed upon the golden light screen in the sky, Bibi Dong gripped her scepter, her face taking on a serious and solemn expression.

After thinking for a moment, Bibi Dong spoke.

"Yue Guan, Ghostly, the two of you are to head to Shrek Academy at once and bring Tang San to me."

"If he gave away three Immortal Herbs in one go, there is a high chance that he still has more on him."

"Even if he does not, we can ask him where he got those Immortal Herbs."

"He was willing to give away three Immortal Herbs? That Tang San is truly both kind and foolish."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong sincerely admired Tang San of Shrek Academy.

If she, Bibi Dong, had Immortal Herbs?

She would never give them to any classmates.

She would use them all herself!

At most, she would give one to her disciple Nana.

Facing Bibi Dong's order, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Ghostly, who stood behind her, exchanged glances before answering in unison, "As you command, Your Holiness!"

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, rear mountain.

Someone stood atop the mountain peak.

The man was tall and wore a long robe embroidered with arcs of thunder and a True Dragon.

His name was Yu Yuanzhen.

He was the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The Thunder Douluo.

He had not descended the mountain for a long time.

He had continuously cultivated on the mountain by drawing down heavenly lightning, seeking to break through and become a Level-96 Titled Douluo. Yet he had not sensed even the slightest sign of a breakthrough.

"Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy, Tang San?"

Gazing at the golden light screen in the sky and reading its contents, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen spoke those words before deciding to descend the mountain.

Why descend the mountain?

To find Tang San!

To ask whether Tang San still had any Immortal Herbs.

Since bitter cultivation could not help him break through to become a Level-96 Titled Douluo, he could only rely on external aids.

Heaven Dou Empire, the Clear Sky Sect, which had long secluded itself in the mountains and stopped involving itself in worldly affairs.

Six people stood atop the mountain peak.

Of the six, three were Titled Douluo and two were Soul Douluo.

All six held extraordinary status.

One was the Clear Sky Sect's sect master.

The other five were elders of the Clear Sky Sect.

Watching the golden light screen in the sky, Tang Lieyang, the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, laughed.

"That Tang San really is an idiot. He has Immortal Herbs but does not give them to his own family, instead giving them to classmates! And he gave away no fewer than three Immortal Herbs! If used properly, three Immortal Herbs could create three Peak First Realm Titled Douluo. I really want to know whose child that idiot Tang San is. Whoever's family he belongs to is truly cursed. If he were from my family, I definitely would not have indulged in a moment of pleasure back then."

The Golden Ranking in the sky continued introducing Ma Hongjun.

[With the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower Immortal Herb given by Tang San, Ma Hongjun's soul power not only soared to a level beyond the reach of many Soul Masters his age, making him a fourteen-year-old Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, but his Evil Fire also transformed into pure fire.]

[Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul?]

[From this point onward, it evolved into a Fire Phoenix!]

[Though Fire Phoenix and Evil Fire Phoenix differ by only one word, there is a world of difference between them, as far apart as clouds and mud!]
