Chapter 31: Evil Fire Phoenix, Martial Soul Resonance.
A purplish-red light surged from Ma Hongjun's body, and his short hair suddenly grew longer and gathered in the center, transforming into a Mohawk.
His entire body suddenly seemed to be on fire, a blanket of purplish-red flames covering him, though his clothes remained intact.
Long feathers sprouted from his exposed, sturdy arms, and even his hands transformed into claws.
"Ying!"
A high-pitched, melodious phoenix cry echoed throughout the small room.
As his Martial Soul awakened, a phoenix, blazing with purplish-red flames, slowly emerged from behind Ma Hongjun.
The intense heat of the blazing flames distorted the surrounding air.
Flanders stared at the chubby man before him. Although his expression remained calm, his heart was filled with excitement. This was the top-tier beast spirit, the Fire Phoenix. Now, his successor was a sure bet.
But at this moment,
Xuan Mo, standing nearby, sensed something unusual.
After Ma Hongjun's spirit awakened, along with the sound of a phoenix, Xuan Mo couldn't help but sense a familiar aura. Furthermore, the Taotie Divine Bull spirit within him seemed to undergo a unique transformation at that moment.
This caused his expression to change slightly.
However, because everyone's attention was primarily focused on Ma Hongjun, they didn't notice Xuan Mo's change.
"Could this be..."
Glancing at the Fire Phoenix spirit behind Ma Hongjun, Xuan Mo's mind suddenly formed a startling hypothesis...
"Hongjun, use your mind to retract your spirit within you."
Upon hearing Flender's words, Ma Hongjun subconsciously retracted his spirit, exiting the spirit-possessed state.
Soon, his long, fiery red Mohawk hair, which had cascaded down his back, returned to its previous short, but unlike the previous black, it now reflected a burgundy hue.
But what shocked everyone was...
Not only had Ma Hongjun gained weight, making him, already a chubby little boy, look more like a bloated ball. His eyes had also turned a fiery red.
"What's going on?"
Flanders was startled, but he quickly recovered and placed his hands on Ma Hongjun's body.
Suddenly, a surge of soul power was channeled into Ma Hongjun's body. However, a burning sensation quickly emanated from within.
"Not good!"
Flanders immediately sensed something was amiss. This burning sensation even made him, a Soul Sage, feel a little uneasy.
However, Flanders immediately increased his soul power output.
After a while, the burning sensation was suppressed. Ma Hongjun regained consciousness, and the evil fire rising within him receded like a tide.
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately after recovering, Flanders offered Ma Hongjun the crystal ball without further ado.
"Hongjun, let's test your innate soul power first!"
Upon hearing Flanders' voice, Ma Hongjun placed his right hand on the crystal ball without hesitation.
Instantly, Ma Hongjun's soul power surged into the crystal ball, and at that moment, it erupted with a powerful blue light. However, to Xuan Mo, it was slightly inferior to his own.
"Great, great, innate soul power level nine!"
Flanders was overjoyed upon seeing this, even the previous atmosphere was forgotten.
"Hey, Fatty, congratulations! I didn't expect you to awaken the Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit, and even to have innate soul power level nine, although it's a bit lower than mine with full innate soul power."
Oscar approached Ma Hongjun with a serious expression, but the next moment, a sly expression crossed his face, and he burst into laughter.
"But then again, Fatty, you really don't look like a phoenix. How could there be a phoenix this fat? No matter how I look at you, you look like a chicken after your spirit has possessed you."
Hearing Oscar say this, everyone present remembered Ma Hongjun's appearance after his spirit had possessed him, something they hadn't noticed earlier. It was indeed a rather amusing sight.
With his chubby body, arms covered in long purple-red feathers, and bristling hair, if he were to be called a phoenix, few would have believed him. He looked more like a fat hen.
For a moment, even Xuan Mo, Flanders, and the others couldn't help but laugh.
As for Oscar, he practically split his lips.
Ma Hongjun, as if his reverse scale had been touched, flew into a rage. However, he didn't dare to confront Xuan Mo, Flanders, and the others. He could only vent his anger on Oscar. "Bitch, Oscar, who are you calling a chicken?! I'm a phoenix! A fire phoenix!"
Watching the two men's quarrel, Xuan Mo, remembering Ma Hongjun's spirit's flaws, quickly stopped them.
"Xiao Ao, Fatty, stop arguing and talk about business."
When Oscar and Ma Hongjun saw Xuan Mo's serious expression, they knew that this matter was absolutely important, so they stopped immediately.
"Fatty, let me ask you this. After your spirit awakened, did you experience any discomfort or discomfort? Otherwise, how could you be like this?"
Flanders, standing beside Xuan Mo, suddenly changed expression upon hearing Xuan Mo's words, becoming extremely serious. Before Ma Hongjun could even begin to speak, he spoke first.
"In my opinion, Hongjun's spirit is a mutant. The flame within him is truly bizarre and strange. Not only is its temperature extremely high, but it also has a strong adhesion. If attacked with this kind of flame, it would be difficult to extinguish. However, the mutation of his spirit doesn't seem to be complete, so there are flaws. As for flaws…"
Flanders stopped abruptly at this point.
This made Old Henry, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, who were standing nearby, extremely anxious. Although Xuan Mo knew this, he had no intention of speaking on Flanders' behalf.
"Alas! From what I've discovered, the spirit has had a certain impact on his body. The agitation within him is ten times greater than that of an ordinary person. If it's simply suppressed without channeling, he could be blasted to death by this evil fire at any moment."
"What!" Old Henry nearly fainted with excitement. Regardless of the difference in status, he hurriedly asked, "Master Spirit Master, do you have a solution?"
Seeing Flender slowly shaking his head, Old Henry's heart sank.
