With the last bit of clarity in his mind, Ma Hongjun recalled the day when everyone set out from Soto City.
At this time, Flanders had already accepted the fact that Shrek had become history from today on. He looked at the tattered plaque at the entrance of the village and the words "Shrek Academy" on it, and gently took it off as if he had touched some priceless treasure. His rough fingers pondered over the five big words, brushed off the dust on them, and reluctantly put them into the soul guide.
Along with this action, Flanders' reluctance to the past turned into anticipation for a new life in the future. This change was fully seen by Ma Hongjun.
After living in poverty for most of his life, Flanders finally found the Tiandou Royal Academy that suited his status. He didn't have to teach students much, and the academy provided food and accommodation. With the care of senior Qin Ming, he could enjoy his life with a huge salary of 3,000 gold soul coins per month.
Ma Hongjun would never allow Flanders' retirement plan to be affected by anyone.
Even if that person is himself.
"No, I can't lose. I am the teacher's direct disciple. I must not become a burden to the teacher!"
The resentment at failure and his own inability to keep Flanders became the best fuel for the evil fire. Ma Hongjun's consciousness quickly slid towards the abyss and was gradually shrouded in darkness.
"Well, the winner and loser in this battle are obvious."
Meng Shenji, who originally wanted to give Ma Hongjun some time because he saw that he was still trying to stand up, is now a little annoyed by Yu Xiaogang who keeps chattering like a nagging woman, so he stands up and prepares to announce the final result.
"And the winner is..."
boom!
Just as Meng Shenji was about to announce Tang San's victory, fierce black flames gushed out from Ma Hongjun's body, forming a flame pattern in mid-air. At this time, the red in the flame was barely visible, and the black had already gained an absolute upper hand, like a black rose blooming under the scorching sun.
With the help of the flames, Ma Hongjun slowly stood up, with half of his shoulders folded up, his wings drooping limply at his side, and the other arm raised high, as if ready to stir up another wave of flames at any time.
The color of the feathers has almost completely turned black, except for the dark red in the middle. The rest of the feathers are so black that they can turn clear water into ink.
Looking up, not only the pupils, but also the whites of Ma Hongjun's eyes were dyed in black. The brutality and coldness became deeper as he started again.
"Hahaha, Ma Hongjun, I know you can do it!"
Yu Xiaogang, who hoped to join Tiandou Royal Academy again, looked crazy and his shrill laughter echoed in the training ground.
"This is the true power of the Evil Fire Phoenix. This is the strongest flame that can reach the top. What a bullshit Flanders, bringing Ma Hongjun to release the evil fire. Only by constantly suppressing it can this God-given power finally bloom with the most beautiful light!"
"What did you say?!"
After hearing what Yu Xiaogang said, Gu You finally understood everything. The reason why Ma Hongjun changed from a fat man in the original novel to a thin man now was because he did not release the evil fire at Yu Xiaogang's request.
"You guy!"
Gu You just hates Ma Hongjun in the original novel because his values are different from his own, but he doesn't want him to die.
Continuing to practice when there is a problem with the martial soul is to slide into the abyss, and Yu Xiaogang's behavior seems to be afraid that Ma Hongjun will not slide fast enough, so he helps him step on the accelerator.
Gu You clenched his right hand into a fist and looked at Yu Xiaogang not far away with a bad look, wishing he could knock him to the ground with one punch.
Not allowing Ma Hongjun to release his evil fire and forcing him to eat ice to suppress it, isn't this a weakened version of what the brainless Shrek teachers did to Ma Xiaotao ten thousand years later?
Ten thousand years later, Shrek is the number one academy on the continent, with a status above the Three Douluo Kingdoms and a super power on par with the enemy Sun Moon Empire. With the help of countless natural treasures second only to immortal herbs and the assistance of a large number of Titled Douluo, it can only help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire to the Soul Emperor realm. A little inducement can break this fragile balance that has been worked so hard to maintain.
Moreover, it was only a temporary solution, not a permanent one, and Ma Xiaotao would still go berserk. Seeing how skillfully the teacher cleaned up the mess, this must not be the first time this happened, and it almost caused the Chosen Son Huo Yuhao to die before he could accomplish his mission, and the God King's plan was in vain.
What's more, Shrek doesn't even have a Soul Douluo now, let alone the gold soul coins needed to buy the treasures to suppress the evil fire. He can only use ordinary ice cubes to suppress the evil fire that becomes stronger as his cultivation increases.
In addition, this must be the third soul skill chosen by Yu Xiaogang to purify the evil fire, and he does not allow Ma Hongjun to release it regularly. Does Yu Xiaogang want to watch him be burned to death by his own martial soul?
Wow, they are indeed a master and disciple of the same lineage. In the original novel, Tang San did not leave the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to the Tang Sect. Yu Xiaogang did not record in Shrek Academy that Ma Hongjun ate the magic grass to wash away the impurities. The methods are exactly the same, no one would believe if they were not master and disciple.
"Teacher, I can't lose..."
Looking at Ma Hongjun, who was mumbling to himself with his head down and his body controlled by the evil fire, Yu Xiaogang shouted to Meng Shenji: "Ma Hongjun is still standing, we haven't lost yet, I haven't lost yet!"
Looking at Yu Xiaogang yelling at him, Meng Shenji also wanted to slap him to death. But he had to be restrained. Since Ma Hongjun stood up and continued to fight, he couldn't force the final result to be announced.
Then he turned to the nearly unconscious Ma Hongjun and shouted, "Quick, use all your strength to knock Tang San down."
“With all my strength…”
Ma Hongjun raised his head, his cloudy eyes reflected Tang San's figure, with a sharp phoenix cry, the black flame ignited again, and a phoenix fire line was aimed at Tang San.
"Yes, that's right, that's it, keep fighting. Keep fighting for me!"
Yu Xiaogang made no secret of his desire to win even if he had to give up everything. Even if Ma Hongjun's limbs were all broken, as long as his mouth could still spit fire, he would fight for him, Yu Xiaogang.
"Enough!" x2
"Yu Xiaogang, what do you think your students are?!"
"You are misleading students and have no moral principles. You are unworthy of being a teacher!"
Yu Xiaogang's ugly behavior made Gu You and Tang San roar in anger at the same time. Especially Tang San, he never thought that as a teacher, he could do such a disrespectful behavior to his students.
Compared with Yu Xiaogang, not to mention Qin Ming, Mo Hen, Su Yuntao who are teachers or people who are better than teachers, even the slacking monster Nightingale does much better than him.
Having tolerated this guy for a whole morning, Tang San decided not to tolerate it anymore. With a wave of his hand, the blue silver grass under Yu Xiaogang's feet grew rapidly, weaving into a fist as big as a basin, aiming at Yu Xiaogang's chin with an extremely fierce uppercut. Gu You happened to rush in front of Yu Xiaogang and punched Yu Xiaogang in the face.
Zhao Wuji, who was also extremely angry, didn't expect that he had just taken a step forward and had not had time to make a move before another student from another academy took down Yu Xiaogang's first blood. Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground with a collapsed nose and stars in his eyes, flying five meters away, he didn't know whether to punch him or kick him.
Facing Ma Hongjun, whose eyes were lifeless and who was only mechanically spitting fire, Tang San knew that he had lost consciousness, and the one controlling this body to fight was his martial spirit, the Evil Fire Phoenix.
"Sorry, I have to take action."
Looking at Ma Hongjun who was still fighting, a hint of admiration flashed in Tang San's eyes.
He respected Ma Hongjun's competitive spirit, but felt that if he continued like this, Ma Hongjun would most likely become like Chang Wei, who was controlled by his martial spirit. So he decided not to hold back and beat him as quickly as possible until he lost his fighting power.
The blue silver grass that Tang San had put away after using the sunlight blade just now emerged from the ground again, and cleverly wrapped around Tang San's right arm, like wearing a pure white arm guard. The soft white light became extremely dazzling at this time, extending forward along the arm, and turned into a conical lance about two meters long. The other blue silver grass followed closely behind, clinging to Tang San's body and weaving into a set of blue-green heavy armor.
The purple light from his eyes shone through the helmet, and his mental power locked onto Ma Hongjun. Tang San raised his lance high above his head, with the tip of the lance pointed at Ma Hongjun.
"The proof of the king who unifies everything and gathers everything is in my hand right now."
"This is the breath of life, this is the green of all things, [Blue Silver Overlord Spear]!"
White, blue and green, three colors of light bloomed at the same time, Tang San pulled his shoulders back and threw the Blue Silver Overlord Spear with force.
As the lance flew out of his hand, the blue silver heavy armor on Tang San's body was instantly shattered by the powerful recoil energy. The Blue Silver Overlord Spear drew a three-color rainbow in the air, and the stream of light hit Ma Hongjun who did not make any defensive moves. The sunlight energy collected by the Blue Silver Grass was released instantly.
The black flames on Ma Hongjun's body seemed to have encountered an invincible nemesis and were forced to dissipate into black mist in an attempt to escape from Ma Hongjun.
If negative emotions are the best fuel for black flames, then positive will makes the sacred attribute invincible. With just this one strike, Tang San defeated Ma Hongjun's evil fire phoenix, which could completely fall at any time.
After the bright light, Ma Hongjun stood on the ground covered in blood. The spirit's possession characteristics gradually disappeared, his hair had returned to its original bright red color, and the feathers on his arms also turned back to purple.
Ma Hongjun raised his tired eyes, looked deeply at Tang San, and a trace of bright red flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"【Blue Silver Overlord Spear】... Well done, I lost."
After saying that, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Some people say that the Yu Xiaogang I created is really disgusting, and they want him to leave the stage as soon as possible, and they don't even give him a lunch box... Is this the highest praise for a Douluo fanfiction author? Please recommend and vote for me~~~~
Chapter 257 Staring into the Darkness
"Hongjun!"
Flanders screamed, flapped his wings, and left a shadow in the air before appearing beside Ma Hongjun, holding him in his arms before he fell to the ground.
"Hongjun, wake up, the teacher is here."
"We won't go to Tiandou Royal Academy. Let's go home, back to Soto City. Don't scare the teacher."
Looking at the seriously injured and unconscious Ma Hongjun, Flanders had tears streaming down his face and he hugged him tightly in his arms.
Flanders, who was standing far away, had been paying attention to Ma Hongjun's situation, and with his keen hearing, he also heard what Ma Hongjun said.
What retirement plan, what idle job with a salary of 3,000 gold soul coins, what Master Fu, the gatekeeper of Tiandou, all go to hell. He just wanted to return to that ordinary little village and spend the rest of his life teaching Ma Hongjun how to be an excellent soul master.
"Don't just stand there, get out of the way."
When Ma Hongjun fell, Gu You actually rushed into the training ground at the same time as Flanders, but Gu You was not fast enough, so he could not outrun Flanders.
Running fast is useless. What Ma Hongjun needs now is professionals. With a sideways push, Gu You knocked the restless Flanders to a stagger. He snatched Ma Hongjun from Flanders' arms and said without raising his head, "Now let the professionals take over. Get out of here."
Then he beckoned Tang San to come over with one hand, and placed the other hand on Ma Hongjun.
'really! ’
The hand that touched Ma Hongjun's forehead was withdrawn immediately. Ma Hongjun was as hot as a stove at this time, just as Gu You expected.
This body temperature is no longer a question of whether he has a fever or not, it is simply like boiling water, which makes people wonder whether the brain matter in his brain has begun to boil and is about to be cooked.
"Damn Yu Xiaogang." Gu You cursed the scum on the sidelines in a low voice, wishing he could rush over and kick him a few more times.
In the original novel, every time Ma Xiaotao went berserk, she had to suppress the evil fire in her body in various ways, and this suppression even affected her normal cultivation. Yu Xiaogang was even more powerful. He was afraid that Ma Hongjun's evil fire was not powerful enough, so in addition to not letting him vent, he even found a third soul skill to increase the power of the evil fire.
It is undeniable that the third soul skill chosen by Yu Xiaogang this time is very powerful, much stronger than the "Phoenix Wings Flying" in the original book. Not only does it also allow Ma Hongjun to have the ability to fly, but it also greatly increases the power of the evil fire.
Gu You didn't know how powerful Ma Xiaotao, who would be at the Soul Master level in the future, would be in combat, but he estimated that the current Ma Hongjun could at worst draw with him.
But when choosing a soul skill, you can't just look at how powerful it is, you also have to look at whether it has a negative impact on the soul master himself. It's originally a martial soul dancing on a tightrope, how can someone deliberately break the wire rope?
No wonder Gu You's attitude towards Flanders was so bad. Instead of teaching his own disciple personally, he handed it over to a great soul master who couldn't even fight in a high-end battlefield to configure the soul ring combination. Isn't this just like asking Howard to teach Yao Ming how to move under the basket? It's pure nonsense.
Can this be taught? No, it cannot be taught. I don’t have the ability to do so, you know. If I continue to teach, I will be beaten.
"It's so hot!" Tang San, who had rushed over, was also frightened by Ma Hongjun's extremely high temperature. Before he had time to make a careful diagnosis, he said to Gu You: "No matter what, we need to lower the temperature first."
'Would you like some ice?'
The method Huo Yuhao used to suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire during the Second Battle of Douluo Dalu flashed through Gu You's mind, and the first thing he thought of was the soul bone in his right arm.
But after only half a second, he rejected this idea.
Although the Glacier Dinosaur Soul Bone also has ice attribute, in order to save people, he does not mind exposing his soul bone. But firstly, his ice attribute is not as high as that of the Chosen Son Huo Yuhao. Even if Ma Hongjun's cultivation is not as high as Ma Xiaotao's at that time, it is really hard to say which one is stronger in terms of the quality of the evil fire.
Secondly, Huo Yuhao’s actions also confirmed that this move was a delaying tactic that only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. Blindly suppressing it would only make the next outbreak more violent.
Gu You also saw the feathers on Ma Hongjun's body returning to their original state. Although he didn't know why the fake Blue Silver Overlord Spear that the two had figured out would have this strange effect, no one stipulated that a fake must be inferior to the original.
The psychological suggestion effect of the soul curse allowed Tang San to mobilize the energy of many blue silver grasses without fully awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Coupled with the power from the sun brought by the third soul skill, even if Tang San was not a soul king in the original work, he would not be inferior in terms of the power of this move.
The fake Blue Silver Overlord Spear exploded and killed the genuine Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and Tang San and Gu Youying were stunned.
Ice and fire are mutually restraining attributes. Directly using ice may leave incurable hidden injuries in Ma Hongjun's body. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Gu You does not want to deal with this matter so roughly.
"If you can't use the fierce ice, use water, which can restrain fire and is relatively mild!" Gu You shouted to the Royal Fighting Team who were hesitating whether to come over to watch: "Transform shield, shatter shield storm, bed, quick!"
The Shi brothers understood Gu You's meaning instantly. Shi Mo, who reacted faster, released his martial spirit without hesitation. Shi Mo, who was a little slower, followed closely. The first and third spirit rings of the two glowed at the same time. Two shields were thrown out at the same time, shattered in the air and then merged beside Gu You to form the shape of a bed.
Gu You reached out and touched it, feeling the gentle water-attributed soul power on it, and without hesitation, he laid Ma Hongjun flat on it.
The moment he touched the shield bed, Ma Hongjun's expression relaxed. The relatively peaceful water attribute did moisturize Ma Hongjun's body, which was severely damaged by the evil fire, and made him feel much better.
