As long as he could raise Honkai Points, Xu Yuan would do anything.

The next second, March 7th leaped forward with a longbow in hand, planted one hand on her hip, and said:

"Stop."

"What kind of skill is it to bully a young girl?"

The moment she said that, Ma Hongjun and Cuihua both froze, then turned their gazes toward March 7th.

Ma Hongjun blinked his tiny eyes, the whiskers above his lips twitching. Rainbow light burst from his small eyes.

"What a pretty girl. What, you want to replace her as my girlfriend? Sure, no problem. I agree."

"Pah, pah, pah! This lady will give you two good punches."

March 7th flew into a rage at his words, slipping straight into her Express accent.

Before she could finish speaking, Ma Hongjun flung Cuihua's hand aside and hurried eagerly toward March 7th.

But before Ma Hongjun could do anything, he crashed head-on into a tall figure.

Xu Yuan stepped forward and swept two fingers like a sword.

Whoosh!

A pale golden sword aura shot out, grazing past Ma Hongjun's ear and shaving off all his hair in an instant.

The sharp sword aura spread, and Ma Hongjun was wounded on the spot.

Having his hair cut off in one move and bleeding immediately afterward, Ma Hongjun was instantly enraged. He gave a low shout:

"Phoenix Possession."

Hearing the word "phoenix," March 7th's heart tightened slightly. She had already learned about the situation on Douluo Continent.

A Phoenix Martial Soul belonged to the assault type. It had a fire attribute and could fly. Soul Masters with this type of Martial Soul were generally not weak.

The next second.

Purple-red light surged from Ma Hongjun's body, and his shorn hair grew back into a mohawk.

He had no wings, but two yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet at the same time. Long plumes extended from his thick arms, and his hands became chicken claws.

Before March 7th could say anything, Sparkle, who had been watching the show from the side, immediately jumped out.

"No fat phoenix in sight, but there's a big country chicken that looks pretty decent. With that red face, he looks even more like a lapdog."

March 7th's pink eyes widened as she said in shock:

"Whoa, that was so aggressive! Sparkle, your tongue is so sharp!"

"..."

"..."

Sparkle blinked and gave March 7th a strange look.

The stiff atmosphere at the scene suddenly seemed to turn cheerful. This was the sign that some fun was about to erupt.

As expected of you, March 7th.

Xu Yuan sighed inwardly. So she was naturally immune to sharp tongues.

Sparkle was a sharp-tongued Elation brat?

How should he put it? He was even more excited now (joy)!

"Ahahaha~~"

Sparkle held her stomach and laughed so hard her body trembled like a flower in the wind, her voice tinkling like silver bells. "You flatter me~!"

March 7th shook her head in confusion. "I wasn't complimenting you?"

"..."

Seeing the group chatting and laughing, while the pink-haired girl held a longbow, Ma Hongjun could tell she was a Soul Master.

They were playing him like a monkey. A personal attack!

Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire surged, and he flew into a rage as though someone had stepped on his tail.

"Who are you calling a country chicken?"

Ma Hongjun raised both hands. The first Soul Ring on his body lit up as he abruptly opened his mouth.

A thin stream of purple-red flame shot from his mouth toward Sparkle.

Xu Yuan was about to intervene, and March 7th's expression turned serious, but Sparkle gave them both a look.

Don't interfere. She wanted to have some fun.

The next second, the purple-red flames exploded with a boom, kicking up smoke and dust.

Ma Hongjun smugly curled his lips. Serves her right for daring to call him a country chicken.

Unfortunately, there was a rule: where there was smoke, there was no damage.

The smoke was instantly blown away by a violent gust of wind. Once Ma Hongjun saw what was happening in the clearing, his tiny eyes immediately widened.

Sparkle was nowhere to be seen. Only a miniature doll remained, and it was modeled after Ma Hongjun.

A Soul Skill?

Before Ma Hongjun could figure out what was happening, a flash of red light appeared, and Sparkle emerged from the void once more.

"Ta-da! Little country chicken, Lady Sparkle wants to play a game."

"This doll shares your pain. If you hold your head and imitate a chicken crowing ten times right now, Lady Sparkle will let you go."

"You have five seconds to think it over. Otherwise, Lady Sparkle will turn you into a real country chicken."

After hearing Sparkle's words, Ma Hongjun was naturally the first to disbelieve them.

After all, he had never heard of a Soul Skill that could turn someone into a beast. Besides, Sparkle did not look like an expert.

"One, two, three, four, five. Five seconds are up. Look, nothing happened—"

Before Ma Hongjun could finish, he discovered that his voice had suddenly become shrill, while the buildings before his eyes became as towering as mountains.

A beak grew from his face, a layer of feathers appeared over his body, and even his feet turned into a pair of black chicken claws.

The little black chick had shown his chicken claws!

Where the red-haired fat man had stood, there were only some clothes and a dumbfounded country chicken.

Ma Hongjun, "!!!"

"Cluck cluck~~?"

"Cluck cluck cluck~~!"

Ma Hongjun had turned into a fat country chicken on the spot. Panicking, he hopped and flapped about as he kept clucking in place.

This bizarre sight scared away quite a few passersby.

The bystanders looked terrified and no longer dared to watch the show, afraid that Sparkle would use the same Soul Skill on them.

Sparkle giggled. "Little country chicken, are you convinced now? If you are, say something in human language."

"Cluck cluck cluck~~"

The real country chicken Ma Hongjun was so frantic that tears streamed from his eyes. He kept kowtowing in place, begging for mercy like a country chicken.

But the sight of a fat country chicken kowtowing to someone was hilarious no matter how one looked at it.

Sparkle cupped a hand to her ear like a receiver.

"Why aren't you speaking human language? Don't you like talking?"

Ma Hongjun, "..."

Seeing that begging was useless, Ma Hongjun immediately gave up all pretense and raised his beak, preparing to peck Sparkle.

Sparkle nimbly stepped back, avoiding the country chicken, then cheerfully added another blow:

"I originally only planned to make you a country chicken for one day. But now... make it a week."

Before she finished speaking, Sparkle flashed away and hid behind Xu Yuan and the others, who were watching the show.

"Little Gray Hair, March, Sister Jingliu, let's go. Lady Sparkle is tired and wants to rest."

"We'll come back tomorrow and enjoy this fat country chicken's misery."

Sparkle yawned and skipped ahead.

The real country chicken Ma Hongjun had already cried his eyes out. He tried to follow them, but Xu Yuan and the other three easily left him behind.

Seeing that the real country chicken Ma Hongjun still wanted to follow, Xu Yuan used the skill [Mirror Flower, Water Moon] to set up an illusion.

Then Xu Yuan mocked, "I told you that you were weak. Don't fly into a rage just because someone exposed you."

"What kind of Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms is Ma Hongjun?"

March 7th scratched her pink hair. "It sounds so romantic, but why does this lady always feel like something's off?"

Xu Yuan smiled and picked up the thread. "Because there aren't ten miles of strength."

March 7th: "..."

March 7th: "What a cold joke."

Their conversation was completely undisguised—a ruthless attack on both body and soul!

After hearing it, the fat country chicken Ma Hongjun nearly fainted.

Then Cuihua, softhearted for a moment, took away the Ma Hongjun who had become a fat country chicken.

Ma Hongjun was a Soul Master, after all. If something happened to him, Shrek Academy would definitely come looking for her.

Once the several Soul Masters had finished fighting, the surrounding bystanders dispersed and began discussing the matter in hushed voices.

At that moment, Xu Yuan also heard the notification from his golden finger.
