Phoenix Elixir Pearl, Ma Hongjun Gets Beaten Up!

Around four or five in the morning, the roosters began to crow.

"Over the course of one night, the efficiency of absorbing Soul Bone energy increased two or threefold compared to before."

"And I'm not even sleepy now! This Evil Fire buff is ridiculously overpowered!"

The heat in Qin Qi's body faded, and the Golden Saint Dragon quieted down as well.

The two landed atop a hillside and gazed into the distance.

"Roar."

The Golden Saint Dragon circled Qin Qi, looking exhausted.

After carrying Qin Qi through the air all night, he had nearly drained his energy. He was sleepy.

"Sleep. There's no one here, so get some good rest."

Qin Qi gently patted the Golden Divine Dragon's head. He felt as though he had raised a husky.

When it was full of energy, it started tearing up the house. Once it was tired after the destruction, it lay down to rest.

"Ma Hongjun is truly wasting his talent, wasting his Martial Soul."

Qin Qi shook his head. In some respects, Dai Mubai's Evil-Eyed White Tiger Wuhun was not as strong as the Evil Fire Phoenix.

But Ma Hongjun, as a Soul Master, was simply too useless!

"A Martial Soul flaw... This can't really be considered a Martial Soul flaw. On the contrary, it's an advantage."

"The problem is that the immense fire energy and vitality brought by the Martial Soul are more than the human body can withstand."

"If a weak body receives too much nourishment, it can easily explode and die instead."

Qin Qi sorted out the situation in an extremely short time. At the same time, he thought of someone in a similar predicament.

"Dugu Bo's Jade Scale Snake Emperor poison was too powerful, and he also cultivated poison arts."

"In the end, although he obtained formidable poison, his own body could not bear it."

"But his Jade Scale Snake Emperor evolved an Elixir Pearl."

Qin Qi began to ponder whether the Evil Fire Phoenix could also evolve an Elixir Pearl.

The Elixir Pearl could absorb all the Evil Fire energy and turn it into a great tonic for the body.

It could then be absorbed gradually over twenty-four hours. That would not only increase cultivation speed.

It could also solve the problem of excessive vitality and the risk of exploding to death.

As he pondered, the sun gradually rose in the distance, its morning light spilling across the earth.

"There is no shortage of beauty in this world. What is lacking are eyes that can appreciate it."

Qin Qi sat on the ordinary hillside, watching the dawn rise.

The beautiful scenery immediately made him feel relaxed and delighted.

"Alright, the Elixir Pearl can wait. For now, I'll head to the Soul Arena to earn money and steal Soul Power!"

Qin Qi stood up, reached out to recall the Golden Saint Dragon, then set off toward the Soul Arena after confirming his direction.

Several hours later, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun woke up.

"Boss Dai, yesterday was really fun. Where are we going to have fun today?"

Ma Hongjun stood up. He did not feel that anything was wrong and spoke with a lecherous grin.

"We're not going out today. One of my girlfriends asked me on a date, so I'm going to accompany her."

"Bye, Fatty."

Dai Mubai combed his hair. He did not notice anything wrong either and set off for his date.

"Ah, forget it. I'll go fight at the Soul Arena."

Ma Hongjun sighed. With nothing else to do, he could only go fight. He set off for Suotuo City.

He registered and entered a match. His opponent was a level fourteen Soul Master.

"Little fatty, you're still entering Soul Arena matches? You should lose some weight first."

Seeing Ma Hongjun's appearance, the person opposite him could not help mocking him.

"Hmph, this isn't fat, young master. This is muscle!"

"When my fists land on you later, you'll understand the difference between fat and muscle."

Ma Hongjun snorted coldly.

"Ma Hongjun, level eleven Soul Master, Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul."

Ma Hongjun immediately used Martial Soul Possession and shouted.

"Evil Fire Phoenix? You? You call that a phoenix? You look more like a roasted suckling pig to me."

"Hahaha."

His opponent was instantly amused by Ma Hongjun. What kind of phoenix was this? Why did it look like a roasted suckling pig?

"You dare mock me? Take this, Phoenix Fire Line!"

Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and spat out the Phoenix Fire Line. Usually, backed by his top-tier Martial Soul, this move had tremendous explosive power.

Even if his opponent had higher Soul Power than him, he was not afraid.

But now that the Evil Fire Phoenix had turned into an Evil Fire Grass Chicken, the power of his Phoenix Fire Line had become extremely weak.

"So slow. How dare you act so arrogant?"

His opponent used Martial Soul Possession. His Martial Soul was feline, and his first soul skill was acceleration.

He directly dodged the Phoenix Fire Line, rushed before Ma Hongjun, and kicked out.

"I'll show you what a phoenix really is!"

Ma Hongjun charged forward and confronted his opponent head-on. With the Evil Fire Phoenix empowering him.

His physical abilities were far stronger than those of Soul Masters at the same level!

But this time, the moment he rushed forward, he was kicked flying!

"Cough, cough, that hurts!"

"What's going on? Why do I feel like I have no strength anywhere in my body?"

"Did I not eat enough this morning?"

After Ma Hongjun landed on the ground, he clutched his chest, confusion in his eyes.

Normally, his strength was not this weak after using Martial Soul Possession.

What was wrong today? Had he eaten too little?

There were no surprises in the battle that followed. With his strength greatly reduced, Ma Hongjun was no match for the Soul Master opposite him.

After being beaten up, he was thrown off the arena.

"Little fatty, seriously, lose some weight. You're so fat that if you encounter danger later, you won't even be able to outrun anyone."

The man looked at Ma Hongjun, who had been knocked off the arena, and spoke sincerely.

"Damn it, I didn't eat my fill today, so I wasn't in good condition. Otherwise, I would've pinned you down and beaten you."

Ma Hongjun was carried away by medical staff, yet he was still shouting threats from the stretcher.

After being examined in the medical room and confirmed to be fine, Ma Hongjun rested for a while before leaving the Soul Arena.

"It's all because the dean gives us so little food money. I can't even eat enough."

On the way back to the academy, Ma Hongjun could not help complaining inwardly.

The dean of their academy was far too stingy. He gave them so little for food.

They were still growing! It was fine if they did not have meat for every meal, but at least they should have enough rice to fill them up!

Meanwhile, inside a restaurant.

"Boss, do you have Soul Beast meat?"

Qin Qi asked.

"We do, but it's expensive. Do you want some?"

the owner asked.

"Yes. Give me two portions."

Qin Qi took out Gold Soul Coins and bought two cooked portions of Soul Beast meat, then had them packed to go.

He found a secluded place and shared them with the Golden Saint Dragon.

"Roar."

The Golden Saint Dragon ate while nudging Qin Qi with his large head, his eyes brimming with delight.

"You're happy, right? Don't worry. Follow me, and you'll have meat every meal from now on."

Qin Qi smiled and patted the Golden Saint Dragon's head. Dragons were supposed to eat meat. What kind of dragon ate radishes?

It would be embarrassing if word got out, wouldn't it?

"Roar."

The Golden Saint Dragon was not very smart. He did not quite understand what Qin Qi meant, but he was still happy.

It was like the dog you kept at home. It did not understand what you meant.

But as long as it could stay by your side, it felt happy.

Elsewhere, when Ma Hongjun returned, he ran into Dai Mubai and told him what had happened.
