Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 92 The Evil Phoenix Transforms into an Agility-Based Attack Type

Seeing that Ma Hongjun was unable to unleash the flames, Yu Xiaogang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his last bit of hope vanished instantly.

It can't even use flames, so it obviously hasn't transformed into a true fire phoenix, and may even have degenerated, with its own flames disappearing as well.

If Ma Hongjun becomes useless from now on, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

Flander and the others were also stunned. They thought that Ma Hongjun had survived the ordeal by chance and would at least become stronger, but they did not expect it to bring such a big side effect.

Seeing how miserable Ma Hongjun was, Oscar felt much better.

Although his third soul skill was also somewhat abnormal, at least it did not cause any defects in his martial soul, making him much luckier than Ma Hongjun.

A hint of regret flashed in Flander's eyes. After a moment of silence, he advised, "No matter what, at least you've saved your life. We can figure out a solution for the martial soul issue when we get back."

However, Ma Hongjun simply couldn't accept it. He had trusted his teacher's abilities, which was why he risked absorbing the ice-attribute soul ring. He never imagined that he would lose the Phoenix Flame as a result.

Without the Phoenix Flame, his martial spirit would be completely useless!
He stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, a hint of anger in his eyes, and demanded, "Teacher Yu, didn't you say that absorbing this spirit ring would help me get rid of the evil fire?"

"I'm not wrong, of course. Can you still feel the evil fire now?" Yu Xiaogang asked seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun was slightly taken aback. What he said seemed to make sense; he indeed could not sense the presence of the evil fire.

But soon he realized something was wrong. Although the evil fire was indeed gone, his phoenix flames had also disappeared!
If he had to choose, he would prefer to do things the way they were before.

"Teacher, you clearly said before that you would help me transform into a true Fire Phoenix Soul Master, but I don't even have the Phoenix Flame anymore, so what kind of Fire Phoenix Soul Master am I?"

"Sigh, Hongjun, it's all because you weren't resolute enough!"

Yu Xiaogang sighed with feigned disappointment and said seriously, "If you could maintain the balance between the two energies, you could naturally remove the impurities and retain the true phoenix flame, but you didn't hold on, which is why they disappeared together."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback, not expecting Yu Xiaogang to be so persuasive.

In the past, they might have believed it to some extent, but after what happened before, their image of the master was completely shattered.

Because he had been in a coma, Ma Hongjun was unaware of these things, so he was skeptical of Yu Xiaogang's words.

"Teacher, what should I do now?"

"Don't panic, your master will never give up on you. Although you have lost the Phoenix Flame, your martial soul is clearly evolving into a true phoenix."

Yu Xiaogang patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Upon hearing this explanation, Ma Hongjun grasped at his martial spirit as if it were a lifeline and began to examine it carefully.

There have indeed been some subtle changes; the tail feathers have become much longer and have turned into two colors, red and blue, making it look more noble at first glance.

Realizing he hadn't been fooled, Ma Hongjun finally felt relieved and regained some trust in Yu Xiaogang.

Then, he looked up at Yu Xiaogang again, his tone noticeably more respectful, and said, "Teacher, but now that I no longer have the Phoenix Flame, I can't use the first two soul skills."

"It's alright. You still have your third soul skill, right? Before you get your fourth soul ring, you can temporarily switch to the agility-based attack type."

As he spoke, a resolute glint flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. To prove his theory of martial spirit, he would probably need to go to the Papal Palace and meet Bibi Dong.

The Spirit Hall has stood on the continent for ten thousand years; surely they must have a solution.

For this reason, he was willing to temporarily abandon his reputation as a theoretical master.

"I will listen to the teacher."

Now that things have come to this, Ma Hongjun has no choice but to trust Yu Xiaogang, since there is no better option.

Actually, absorbing this spirit ring wasn't without its benefits; at least it boosted his spirit power to level thirty-two, offering some consolation. Meanwhile, the Royal Fighting Team's training had ended.

"Teacher Lin Mu, thanks to your gravity field, my brother and I were able to complete the Martial Soul Fusion Technique much more smoothly."

Graphite and stone mill were beaming with excitement.

If things continue like this, they will be able to get used to Lin Mu's gravity field in less than two months, thus successfully completing the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"The fusion skill of your two brothers' martial souls is crucial to whether you can win the championship, so the more proficient you are, the better."

After a pause, Lin Mu shifted his gaze to the stone mill and continued, "Stone Mill, you need to hurry up and cultivate to level forty. Only when you all reach Soul Master level or above can you unleash part of the Xuanwu's divine power."

The Spirit Hall team not only consists entirely of members at the Soul Master level or above, but also has three Soul Kings, and even Xie Yue and Hu Liena possess Spirit Fusion Skills.

Unless the soul power of Graphite and Stone Mill also reaches the Soul King level, or their martial souls undergo a transformation that enhances the power of their martial soul fusion skill, they are definitely no match for the Demoness.

However, Lin Mu did not intend to place all his hopes on the two of them. In his opinion, the key to victory still lay with Tang San.

The reason he cultivated other core members was simply because he was worried that they would hold Tang San back.

Of course, if he were to personally take the field, even without any teammates, he could easily wipe out the Spirit Hall team.

However, for Tang San, taking on the Spirit Hall team one-on-one was still too difficult.

"Teacher Lin Mu, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation."

Shi Mo patted his chest heavily, his eyes filled with gratitude and respect.

Without Teacher Lin Mu's guidance, the two brothers would not have been valued so much, nor would they have mastered such a top-tier skill as the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

With their Martial Soul Fusion Skill alone, they will be able to make a name for themselves in the future.

Besides the graphite and the stone mill, the others also benefited greatly; this pressure environment did indeed allow them to cultivate much faster.

As it was getting late, everyone gradually left the training ground.

Ye Lingling walked to Lin Mu's side, quickly hugged his arm, and said softly, "Brother Lin Mu, how about we go to the night market?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Just then, Qian Renxue walked over and leaned against Lin Mu's other side, smiling slightly, "I also want to go to the night market, why don't we go together?"

Having already made up her mind to win over Lin Mu, and even going so far as to change back into women's clothing, how could she possibly miss this opportunity?

Lin Mu, sandwiched between the two women, frowned slightly, glanced at Qian Renxue, and said, "Do you have that much free time?"

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, a hint of annoyance rising in her heart. This guy must be mentally unstable.

Even if others wanted to curry favor with her, she might not even give them a second glance, but now that she has taken the initiative to ask to go shopping together, this guy is so heartless.

Who knows, the next thing they'll say is that they'll make her clean the room.

Thinking about it carefully, I've cleaned Lin Mu's room several times this month, and done other odd jobs as well. Even after doing all that, I still haven't won him over.

This made her feel like she had really become a maid and should serve this guy, which was a double blow to her both physically and mentally!
But the more this is the case, the less she can give up. Otherwise, wouldn't all this loss be for nothing? Once she completely wins this guy over, she can get back the principal and interest, and make him serve her for the rest of his life.

Immediately, Qian Renxue suppressed her dissatisfaction and said gently, "As a teaching assistant, accompanying you shopping is also my job."
