Background / History
Dependence on Li Qiu
Flender recruited Li Qiu to Shrek partly to suppress Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire, promising payment and free tuition, food, and lodging. Li Qiu received no promised wages despite repeatedly treating him; Zhao Wuji later counted more than thirty suppression sessions 1 16.
Ma Hongjun treated Li Qiu as an inferior. When Li Qiu healed Dai Mubai before attending to him, he threatened the healer rather than confronting Dai Mubai, whom he could not defeat. Li Qiu nevertheless suppressed his Evil Fire with the Ice-Blue Bead, exhausting himself in the process 1.
The Armored Ambush
While walking through the mountains behind Shrek, Ma Hongjun was ambushed by Li Qiu wearing Demon Armor. The armor concealed Li Qiu’s identity and resisted Ma Hongjun’s Phoenix flames. Li Qiu beat him severely, broke his arm, and escaped without being recognized 4 5.
Ma Hongjun reported the attack to Shrek, prompting Zhao Wuji to investigate. Li Qiu then pretended to be ill to delay treating him and deliberately left the healing incomplete. During the following morning’s run, Dai Mubai kicked Ma Hongjun, causing his hand to strike a tree and break again 5 6.
Li Qiu and Oscar prolonged his suffering by leading him on a chase until he collapsed, clutching his hand and foaming at the mouth. Zhao Wuji finally ordered Oscar to provide a Recovery Sausage and Li Qiu to heal him; this time, Li Qiu completed the treatment without interference 7 8.
Loss of His Former Standing
Ma Hongjun and Oscar tried to seize the hundred Gold Soul Coins Ning Rongrong had given Li Qiu. Still assuming Li Qiu was Shrek’s weakest student, Ma Hongjun summoned his Martial Soul and attempted to take the money by force. Li Qiu evaded him and blasted him out of the dormitory with a fireball before he could release his own flames 14.
After learning about Li Qiu’s Martial Soul mutation, Ma Hongjun apologized and returned five Gold Soul Coins he had previously taken. His conciliatory behavior did not erase his resentment: witnessing Li Qiu’s two-thousand-year Second Soul Ring convinced him that his former victim had surpassed him 15 17.
Further Defeats and Submission
When Li Qiu and the new students found Ma Hongjun tugging at Cuihua, Ning Rongrong offered to support another attack. With her strength and speed boosts, Li Qiu struck Ma Hongjun and defeated him using a copied Phoenix Fire Line several times stronger than the original. Ma Hongjun ate a Recovery Sausage, apologized, and surrendered his last two Gold Soul Coins 21.
Li Qiu subsequently made him perform a “Tyrant Dragon dance” before allowing him to leave. After a hundred hops, Ma Hongjun began enjoying the punishment. At the next assembly, he claimed his injuries came from accidentally running into a tree rather than admit that Li Qiu had beaten him 22 24.
When Li Qiu defeated Dai Mubai and became Shrek’s captain, Ma Hongjun immediately approached to flatter him as “Boss Qiu” 25.
Appearance
Ma Hongjun has a heavy build and a prominent belly 14.
- Yellow teeth: Visible when he smiles after being scorched in his fight with Li Qiu 21.
- Evil Fire symptoms: Feverish agitation, crimson eyes, and conspicuous bloodshot veins that fade when Li Qiu suppresses the fire 1.
- Repeated injuries: His defeats leave him with facial swelling, bruises, lost teeth, and singed hair. By the training-ground assembly, Flender almost fails to recognize him 4 15 21 24.
Personality
Ma Hongjun is domineering toward people he considers weaker. He demands treatment, threatens Li Qiu, and openly claims that he can bully him whenever he wants. His attempted theft of Ning Rongrong’s gift also exposes his greed: he immediately imagines spending the money on visits to the pleasure quarters 1 7 14.
His bravado gives way quickly when an opponent proves stronger. He apologizes, returns money, offers further payments, and conceals the cause of his injuries to avoid renewed retaliation. Privately, however, he remains angry that Li Qiu has overturned their former power dynamic 15 17 21 24.
He is also lecherous and concerned with appearing formidable before Cuihua. Ning Rongrong resents his staring at the female students, while Ma Hongjun believes acting fiercely in front of his girlfriend will make her love him more 21.
Abilities & Skills
Evil Fire Phoenix
- A fire-based Martial Soul used by Ma Hongjun as a Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster 14.
- Its manifestation raises the surrounding temperature and cries out like a rooster 5.
- His flames fail to harm Li Qiu through Demon Armor 5.
Phoenix Fire Line
- First Soul Skill: Releases a beam of crimson flame from his mouth 5.

Evil Fire Condition
- Requires suppression to calm Ma Hongjun’s feverish agitation 1.
- Li Qiu’s original ice skill could suppress it for three days. After his Martial Soul evolved, he estimated that the improved ice could suppress it for at least two and a half months 4.
- The condition made Ma Hongjun dependent on the healer he habitually mistreated 1 16.
Equipment / Items
- Recovery Sausages — Oscar’s sausages restore stamina and Soul Power while easing pain. Ma Hongjun later stocks up because he expects Li Qiu to retaliate for his past bullying 5 21.
Relationships
- Li Qiu — Former bullying target, healer, and eventual captain. Their relationship reverses as Li Qiu gains strength, repeatedly defeats him, and forces him into outward submission 1 15 21 25.
- Flender — Headmaster and personal teacher. Flender values him as a disciple but welcomes Li Qiu’s growth even after learning that Li Qiu caused his injuries 24.

- Oscar — Classmate and supplier of Recovery Sausages. They cooperate in attempting to rob Li Qiu, although Oscar also helps torment Ma Hongjun during the injured-hand chase 5 8 14.
- Cuihua — Girlfriend. She worries when Li Qiu attacks him, but Ma Hongjun stops her from protesting once he recognizes the danger of further confrontation 21.
- Zhao Wuji — Teacher who investigates his reported ambush and intervenes when the students’ harassment leaves him incapacitated 5 8.
- Ning Rongrong — Classmate who dislikes his leering and supports Li Qiu’s attack with strength and speed enhancements 21.
