Chapter 30: Fatty, Half a Month After the Soul Awakens.
Within the Xingluo Empire, a carriage pulled by four strong horses slowly moved through the city's outskirts. The carriage was remarkably stable, and even over bumpy roads, it only jolted slightly.
It was a crisp autumn day, and the air outside was cool. The curtains of the carriage had been drawn, and a cool breeze blew into the carriage.
A voice rang out from the carriage.
"Dean, we've been traveling for half a month. Why haven't we reached the Bird Village yet?"
Looking inside, the voice was Oscar.
The others in the carriage were Xuan Mo and Flanders.
Accompanying them was a driver hired by Flanders in Soto City.
"Hey, Little Ao, you've been repeating this all the way here. Can't you just stop?"
Xuan Mo paused in his practice, slowly opening his tightly closed eyes, and glanced at Oscar with a hint of resignation.
He continued, "If you're truly bored, you could choose to practice. While you have great talent, you're a Food-type Spirit Master, so your cultivation speed is inherently slow."
Oscar looked at Xuan Mo with some resignation. "Old Mo, it's precisely because I'm an Instrument Spirit Master, and a Food-type one at that. That's why I'm different from you. You're a Battle Spirit Master. Naturally, I don't need the same arduous practice as you."
"But I'm just meditating, not... well, forget it."
Xuan Mo was about to speak, but upon seeing Oscar's languid expression, he felt speechless and didn't want to say anything more.
Xuan Mo then turned his gaze to Flanders, who sat beside him, appearing relaxed and at ease.
Flanders slowly opened his eyes and said, "Little Ao, I wonder who taught you that just now. I remember suggesting you go for a run, didn't I?"
Oscar's face instantly fell. Flanders hadn't actually said that, but even if he had known, he couldn't object, or he'd definitely be harassed.
But then, the carriage, which had been moving forward, ground to a halt.
Flanders' brows furrowed slightly. "Coachman, what's going on out there? Why did we stop so suddenly?"
Then, "Three respected soul masters, the Bird Village is just ahead. And according to your instructions, the carriage has stopped three hundred meters from the village entrance."
This voice, to Oscar, sounded like heavenly music.
Flanders looked up and locked eyes with Xuan Mo.
Then, turning to Oscar and glaring, he said, "Wait until we get back, and I'll deal with you." He then opened the door and stepped out.
The warm sunlight bathed him, causing Flanders to instinctively stretch his arms and stretch his body.
Xuan Mo patted Oscar's shoulder, then, noticing his distressed expression, gave a look of despair.
The carriage had been driven by the driver and stopped by the roadside in the suburbs.
Flanders glanced at Xuan Mo and Oscar as they disembarked. "Let's go and meet that fat boy, Ma Hongjun."
...
The village chief's house.
A knock on the door rang out, and Ma Hongjun, who had been staying inside, hurried over to open it.
"You are, Brother Mo, Dean Flanders!"
...
"Master Soul Master, thank you so much, thank you so much!"
Old Henry looked at Flanders excitedly, practically kneeling before him.
"Old Village Chief, don't worry. I'll awaken Hongjun's martial spirit in a moment. If his awakened martial spirit is decent and his innate spirit power is high, I will definitely accept him as my disciple."
It turned out that Xuan Mo had already discussed with Flanders whether to accept Ma Hongjun as a disciple before their arrival. After all, in the original novel, the Four-Eyed Cat-Owl's disciple was the Evil Fire Phoenix; it was destined.
Xuan Mo's reasoning for Flanders was that in the Bird Village, most awakened martial spirits were birds, so Ma Hongjun's martial spirit should be the same.
Flanders' martial spirit was the Four-Eyed Cat-Owl, making it a perfect match.
However, Flanders didn't agree outright.
After all, if the innate soul power is not enough, he will not accept it. As for why he said that, it was also for comfort, and he really liked Ma Hongjun, the little fat boy.
Just at this moment.
Flanders smiled faintly, and then took out a package from somewhere, and took out a crystal ball and six black stones from it. Then he simply arranged them into a hexagram in an empty place in the room.
Prepare to awaken Ma Hongjun's martial soul on the spot.
At the same time.
Xuan Mo was watching Ma Hongjun and Oscar quarreling with great interest. The two were like a pair of natural enemies. They started quarreling when they met for the first time.
One said the other was fat, and the other said the other was a woman.
"Just watch, I must awaken a powerful martial soul today to crush you, this big sausage."
Staring at Ma Hongjun, Oscar scoffed, "You're bragging! I think the most you can do is awaken a chicken, and a fat one at that."
"You..."
Seeing the two about to argue further, Xuan Mo quickly tried to smooth things over. "You two should stop for a moment. Uncle Merchant has already prepared the spirit awakening ceremony."
Just then, Old Henry's voice rang out.
"Hongjun, come quickly and awaken your spirit. Don't keep the spirit master waiting."
Ma Hongjun glared at Oscar, then said something to Xuan Mo before hurrying off towards Flanders.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo glanced at Oscar, who looked a little indignant, and patted him on the shoulder. "Little Ao, let's go and see what spirit the fat man can awaken."
With that, he pulled Oscar towards Flanders.
As they approached,
Ma Hongjun had already followed Flanders' instructions and entered the awakening formation. A faint golden light enveloped him, and golden particles of light trickled into his body.
As the golden light entered Ma Hongjun's body, the golden light emanating from the awakening formation beneath his feet began to grow increasingly intense.
Flanders, who was presiding over the martial soul awakening ceremony, saw this scene and his eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
Judging from the situation, unless something unexpected happened, the chubby Ma Hongjun would definitely possess a very powerful martial soul.
Xuan Mo and Oscar, who were watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but become excited after seeing this scene.
If Xuan Mo was lamenting the birth of the Evil Fire Phoenix among the Shrek Seven Devils, then Oscar was simply happy for it.
