Fatty Ma Hongjun Claims He Was Wronged, and Gangzi Refuses to Back Down!

Seeing Ma Hongjun on the list, Huo Yuhao froze.

"The Phoenix God?"

Wang Dong's eyes, meanwhile, lit up.

After the Sky Curtain appeared, many of her memories had awakened again.

Uncle Ma Hongjun had watched her grow up.

She was curious how he had made the list, too.

Sunset Forest.

Tang Hao and the others had found the mountain surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But the poison formation had trapped them outside.

Yu Xiaogang asked anxiously,

"Xiao San, how much longer will it take to break this poison formation?"

Tang San frowned.

He was anxious too!

Poison Douluo's poison had absorbed the essence of Douluo Continent, and the Poison Scripture in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record had strengthened it further. Breaking it was difficult for Tang San to begin with.

Put simply, Tang San's power fell short of Poison Douluo's. He could only spend more time working out how to break the formation.

The Sky Curtain shifted again.

Ning Rongrong stared at it in disbelief.

"Ma Hongjun, you damned fatty made the list too?"

She could hardly imagine Ma Hongjun looking melancholy. The thought gave her goosebumps.

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up.

He patted his chest and said,

"I become the Phoenix God in the future? Rongrong, you'd better show me some respect."

"Oscar, keep an eye on Rongrong. What if she falls in love with me?"

Oscar scoffed. "With you, you damned fatty?"

The world of Douluo II.

After Huo Yuhao left, Ma Xiaotao remained sunk in grief.

When she saw her ancestor Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix God, appear on the Sky Curtain, she murmured,

"So even an ancestor who became a god had times when he felt sad."

"Isn't that just like me now?"

[Ma Hongjun was born in a village where people had ordinary chicken Martial Souls, but he awakened the one-in-ten-thousand Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.]

[Fortunately, Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy, discovered Ma Hongjun and brought him to the academy.]

[The nickname people used for him most often was Fatty.]

[He had not been born fat.]

[To suppress the Evil Fire, Ma Hongjun had to keep eating, and his figure changed as a result.]

[When he was twelve, Tang San went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to stock up. Ma Hongjun took the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and his Evil Fire Phoenix underwent a complete transformation.]

[Later, he also took the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core, which Tang San brought him. He successfully absorbed it as his Seventh Soul Ring, and his Martial Soul evolved into the Seven-Headed Fire Phoenix.]

[His cultivation went smoothly all the way.]

[In the end, he slimmed down and became more handsome.]

[He found love too, winning the heart of Bai Chenxiang of the Speed Clan.]

The world of Douluo I.

The Speed Clan.

Bai He looked at the Sky Curtain, then turned to Bai Chenxiang in surprise.

"Xiangxiang, so that's your future husband."

Bai Chenxiang stared blankly, then protested,

"Since when is that fatty my husband?"

But when she saw Ma Hongjun slim down after his transformation, she thought, Well, maybe that wouldn't be so bad?

Sunset Forest.

Ma Hongjun had lost all interest in helping Tang San break the poison formation.

He was lost in the wonderful future shown on the Sky Curtain.

My future is that good?

Third Brother really comes through for me!

My wife's name is Bai Chenxiang?

But then a question occurred to him.

Did I get fat from eating to suppress the Evil Fire?

Didn't I go to the brothels to suppress it?

Oscar and Dai Mubai stared at Ma Hongjun in astonishment.

"Is this kid really as good as the Sky Curtain says?"

The world of Douluo II.

After seeing her ancestor, Ma Xiaotao made a silent resolution.

I have to learn from him.

But the records say he was an outrageous womanizer. That's nothing like what the Sky Curtain shows. Did he turn over a new leaf later on?

In a parallel timeline, in the Divine Realm.

Watching the Sky Curtain, Ma Hongjun, now the Phoenix God, found himself longing for the days when he had been full of spirit and ambition.

But sorrow and melancholy soon crossed his face.

He knew what it meant to appear on the Sky Curtain.

The happier the beginning, the sooner sorrow would come.

[Ma Hongjun had always believed he and Bai Chenxiang would be happy together.]

[After Tang San became a god, Ma Hongjun qualified to take the Fire God Trial.]

[Unfortunately, Ma Hongjun failed the final trial.]

[In the end, he had no choice but to inherit the Phoenix God Divine Position.]

[A Second-Level God could not bring loved ones along when ascending, and after becoming a god, he could not return to the human world.]

[Bai Chenxiang also lacked the aptitude to become a god.]

[Both of them were still alive.]

[Yet one was in the Divine Realm, and the other was on Douluo Star.]

[For the rest of his life, Ma Hongjun could only watch his wife grow old in the human world.]

[He would live forever, never aging or dying.]

[In the end, the phoenix became a god, but lost his swallow and, with her, his soul.]

[The gods of the Divine Realm called Ma Hongjun the most melancholy god in the Divine Realm.]

[His melancholy came from blaming himself for not working hard enough and losing the woman he loved.]

[He kept blaming his old playfulness and idleness for leaving him unable to inherit the Fire God Divine Position.]

[What Ma Hongjun did not know was that the divine artifact required to inherit the Fire God Divine Position was not on Douluo Continent, but on the Five Elements Continent.]

[No matter how hard he worked, he could never have inherited the Fire God Divine Position.]

[He had been headed in the wrong direction. Tragedy was inevitable.]

[In the future, God King God of Destruction launched a revolution and went to war against God King Tang San's faction.]

[Ma Hongjun faced the powerful First-Level God of Lust. Though the God of Lust vastly outmatched him, Ma Hongjun's love for his beloved kept him from falling under the god's spell.]

[In the end, he was defeated when two First-Level Gods attacked him together.]

[Although Tang San's side ultimately won, for Ma Hongjun, everything had died on the day Bai Chenxiang passed away.]

The worlds of Douluo I and Douluo II.

That was love!

People were moved by the story of the most melancholy god in the Divine Realm.

Now they truly understood what it meant for heaven and earth to separate two people forever.

And yet...

Some who had met Ma Hongjun, or knew what he was like, could not help grumbling.

"Could the Sky Curtain have gotten this wrong?"

"Was the Ma Hongjun I met at the brothel a fake?"

"He doesn't look like some innocent young man to me. How could he be as good as the Sky Curtain says?"

In Sunset Forest.

Even Ma Hongjun felt ashamed.

He muttered, "Holy shit. Am I really that devoted?"

Ning Rongrong could not help retorting,

"I'm telling you, the guy on the Sky Curtain can't be you. Stop dreaming."

Yu Xiaogang, however, frowned and said,

"I think the details all match. That has to be Hongjun. You're just judging him by a stereotype."

A Second-Level God stood his ground against a First-Level God!

Someone that incredible had to be my disciple Ma Hongjun!

What?

Flender was the one who brought Ma Hongjun to Shrek?

Flender and I are good friends. His disciple is my disciple too.

So Yu Xiaogang thought.

Elsewhere, at the Speed Clan.

Bai Chenxiang stared at the Sky Curtain in shock.

"Grandpa, can a man like that really exist?"

"Is this Ma Hongjun truly as good as the Sky Curtain says? Have the people you sent to investigate come back?"

Bai He frowned too.

As soon as Ma Hongjun appeared on the Sky Curtain, he had sent clan members out to investigate.

Reconnaissance was the Speed Clan's specialty.

Though they had found little, the scattered details were enough to piece together Ma Hongjun's life.

He sighed.

"Ma Hongjun relies on brothels to suppress his Evil Fire!"

"He's a regular there!"

"I think the Sky Curtain might have made a mistake!"
