"Hehehe! All eyes on me!"
Ma Hongjun called everyone over, shouting with swagger.
Oscar said, "What are you showing off now, Fatty?"
Tang San smiled and said, "Hongjun, you want to show us your third Soul Skill, right?"
"Third Brother knows me best."

"Of course not! That's just a change in my Martial Soul."
"My third Soul Skill is Phoenix Radiance Skyward. It increases my speed and strengthens my flames, and it even comes with special effects."

"Phoenix Radiance Skyward!"
Ma Hongjun instantly shot into the air, carrying a great mass of evil fire like a pillar of flame ascending to the heavens.

"Mm, that secures our control of the skies. His takeoff just makes a bit too much of a commotion."
Tang San offered his assessment.
"Exactly. It's like Teacher Zhao Wuji letting one rip."
Oscar's remark left everyone struggling to keep a straight face.
The most displeased were, naturally, Ma Hongjun and Zhao
