Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 156 The Golden Eyes That Never Die (Mist)

Having become slimmer, Ma Hongjun was clearly very excited and showed off his shapely buttocks in front of everyone.

Fortunately, he simply lost weight, rather than undergoing a complete transformation like in the comics, so his clothes and other belongings remained unchanged.

Then people won't have to see him wearing tight pants and acting provocatively anymore; just thinking about that scene is enough to make one's eyes water.

Even so, the drastic change in Ma Hongjun was still hard for everyone to accept.

Oscar was utterly devastated. "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this happen?"

Ma Hongjun shook his finger smugly and said:
"Nothing is impossible. I now have the same, no, even more handsome, bitch face as you guys. You lot better not be jealous of me."

"Moreover, my soul power has reached the bottleneck of level 30, and I will soon become a Soul Master like you. Someone as handsome and talented as me should be called Handsome Jun-ge from now on."

"Xiao San, why did this fatso turn out like this?" Xiao Wu nudged the person next to her a couple of times.

Tang San thought for a moment and said:

"Perhaps the Phoenix Sunflower purified Ma Hongjun's flames and burned off the excess fat on his body."

"I see. So, do you regret choosing the Phoenix Sunflower for this fatso?" Xiao Wu asked, arms crossed.

"To be honest, I do have some regrets," Tang San sighed, looking at Ma Hongjun, who was shamelessly flirting.

Xiao Wu also sighed, "Sigh, I wonder how many girls will be ruined by this slut."

As Ma Hongjun continued to harass and provoke him, Oscar gradually lost his patience.

He felt he had to punish this bastard, otherwise who could stand seeing such a thing flaunting in front of them every day?
Oscar's eyes lit up and an idea immediately came to him.

He looked at Ma Hongjun with a curious expression and said:
"Brother Jun, since you've reached the level 30 bottleneck and are still so handsome, your phoenix must be able to fly now, right? If someone this handsome is just a chicken, I couldn't stand it."

Ma Hongjun paused in his flirtatious movements, slapped his palm, and suddenly realized:
"Yes, I've become so slim now, maybe I can fly. Xiao Ao, you really reminded me."

"Haha, we're good brothers, it's only right, it's only right. Hurry up and fly up so we can see something amazing!" Oscar said with a smile.

"Just you wait and see," Ma Hongjun said confidently as he activated his Martial Soul.

This scene made Chen Feng raise an eyebrow. He realized something: in the comics, Ma Hongjun only became thin after his martial spirit was possessed.

Once he retracts his martial spirit, he will return to normal.

In the original work, he was slightly thinner, but was still generally a fat man.

Ma Hongjun's current situation seems to be a combination of the advantages of both.

He was already quite slender without any martial spirit possession, meaning he wouldn't have the time limit for transformation as depicted in the comics; his physique was completely altered by the Rooster Crest Phoenix Sunflower.

After analyzing the situation, Chen Feng believes that it may be related to the fact that Ma Hongjun's "evil fire" is no longer severe.

After using the Foundation Building Technique for so many years, Ma Hongjun's flames had actually become much purer.

His obesity was mainly caused by his gluttony, which meant that the Phoenix Sunflower didn't have to expend much effort to clear away the remaining impurities in Ma Hongjun's flames, and the remaining power also burned off the fat in Ma Hongjun's body.

If Chen Feng's guess is correct, Ma Hongjun's soul power increase is probably more than the fifth level shown in the original novel and comics. However, due to the level 30 bottleneck, this guess is unlikely to be confirmed.

Because absorbing a spirit ring will also change a spirit master's spirit power, this variable will affect the results of the observation.

While Chen Feng was pondering Ma Hongjun's situation, Ma Hongjun began to perform flying in front of everyone.

He flapped his fiery red wings and leaped up with all his might.

One landing... two landings... three landings...

"Why can't I fly?!" Ma Hongjun said, on the verge of tears.

He couldn't be smug anymore, but Oscar was quite pleased. He said with a surprised look:

"Oh my, isn't this our handsome Jun-ge? Why can't he fly? Is it because he doesn't like flying?"
"I just saw Xiangxiang fly up, and she hasn't even reached the level 30 bottleneck yet. What's going on? Could it be that the legendary phoenix is ​​actually a ground chicken?"

“You’re talking nonsense! How could a phoenix be a free-range chicken? The only reason I can’t fly right now is because… because…” Ma Hongjun stammered for a long time, unable to give a reason why he couldn’t fly.

Especially when compared to Bai Chenxiang, his inability to fly made him look even more pathetic.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun had been punished, the others immediately burst into laughter, and the forest was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Watching Bai Chenxiang flying around in the forest at Oscar's urging, Ma Hongjun was on the verge of tears.

But there's nothing we can do; if it can't fly, it just can't fly.

Xiao Wu seized the opportunity to deliver another blow, feigning a look of reminiscence, "I remember someone made a bet with Xiao Qing before, what was the bet about?"

"We'll bet on who reaches level 30 first. The loser won't get to eat for a day," Dai Mubai said with a chuckle.

"Who was the person who made the bet with Xiaoqing?" Xiaowu asked, feigning confusion.

"Of course it's our handsome Jun-ge!" Oscar laughed and patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder. "Right, Jun-ge?"

“I’ve already reached level 30, so it doesn’t count as a loss,” Ma Hongjun said.

“But Xiaoqing woke up before you.” Xiaowu shrugged.

“Even if she woke up before me, it doesn’t mean anything. We were betting on who would reach level 30 first. Maybe my soul power reached it first, and she just woke up later,” Ma Hongjun argued.

When it came to the issue of food, his mind was racing.

Xiao Wu thought about it for a while, but couldn't find any flaw in Ma Hongjun's words.

After their combined efforts to quell Ma Hongjun's arrogance, he was no longer as overbearing as he had been when he first woke up, so Xiao Wu gave up.

"In that case, let's call this bet a draw," Chen Feng said.

Zhu Zhuqing had no objection to this, and Ma Hongjun also came to his senses from his smugness and dared not provoke public anger again.

At that moment, a beastly roar resounded in everyone's ears.

The sound was somewhat like the roar of a lion, but it also seemed to contain a faint dragon's roar, giving people a sense of majesty.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the place where Gu Yueling was cultivating was now shrouded in golden light, and there seemed to be a dragon shadow emerging in the golden light, which looked quite strange.

After a while, the golden light gradually dimmed, revealing Gu Yueling with her eyes closed.

At this moment, Gu Yueling seemed to have not changed much from before, except that her skin had become more radiant and her aura was much heavier than before.

However, the next second, when Gu Yueling opened her eyes, everyone was secretly taken aback.

Because Gu Yueling's eyes were no longer the light purple they used to be, but had turned into a pair of golden dragon eyes that seemed to be burning.

Looking into those dragon eyes, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, and one word simultaneously surfaced in their minds: Dragon's Might.

But the dragon's might quickly vanished, because Gu Yueling closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she had completely returned to normal.

Gu Yueling stood up and came to the front of everyone, saying to Chen Feng:

"Thank you."

Then she nodded to Tang San, expressing her gratitude for his help in selecting the immortal herbs.

"How much has your soul power increased?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

“Level six. I’m already level thirty-nine now,” Gu Yueling said.

“Our Hydra members have really been significantly strengthened this time,” Dai Mubai said.

"Shouldn't we tell the teachers and ask them to help us find the soul beasts?" Ma Hongjun asked.

“Of course, those of you who have reached a bottleneck can also try out Brother Feng’s theory,” Oscar nodded and said.

"What theory?" Meng Yiran asked curiously.

"The theory of human self-formed soul rings," Oscar said seriously.

"What? Really?" Meng Yiran asked in surprise.

Gu Yueling's pupils contracted, and she glanced at Chen Feng almost imperceptibly.

Meng Yiran looked at everyone and saw that they didn't seem surprised at all, but rather took it for granted. She felt a little strange.

"Why are you all so calm? This is a self-formed soul ring."

Oscar shrugged. "Because we've already met once, and it was Brother Feng who came up with this theory, so there's nothing to be surprised about."

"It was Brother Feng who proposed the theory... so what?" Meng Yiran was a little confused. She still didn't know Chen Feng's identity.

Oscar glanced at Chen Feng, and seeing that he didn't intend to stop him, explained:

"Brother Feng is actually the legendary biological pioneer Chen Feng. Now you understand why we're not surprised?"

Meng Yiran stared wide-eyed at Chen Feng and said:

"But he seems to be only twelve years old."

“For geniuses, age is never a problem,” Ma Hongjun said, shaking his finger.

Meng Yiran was stunned for a long time before she finally understood what was going on.

"So, this is the biological pioneer who released the Foundation Establishment Method six years ago, and he has already completed the theory of self-condensing soul rings?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "It's not completely finished yet, so I need you guys to help me test it. Also, I have another idea that I need to try, and I'll let you know after I've tried it."

“Oh…” Meng Yiran responded blankly.

"By the way, Yiran, you'd better not spread this around. For now, it's fine as long as only a few of us know about it. Oh, and the dean and the others know too," Oscar reminded her.

"Okay, I understand. I won't tell anyone, and I won't mention it to my grandparents either." Meng Yiran nodded seriously.

After everyone successfully consumed the suitable medicinal herbs, they dispersed to begin their cultivation.

Dai Mubai went to find Dean Flander, intending to tell him about everyone's improved soul power levels. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before Flander would arrange for people to search for soul beasts.

After everyone else left, Chen Feng, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing stayed behind.

"Xiao Feng, what are you going to try?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

“Let’s go to Aunt Erlong’s little cabin to talk,” Chen Feng said.

The group quickly arrived at the cabin. Flander and Liu Erlong were no longer there; only the leisurely Dugu Bo remained.

Seeing Chen Feng and the others approach, Dugu Bo pointed around and said:

"This place is quite nice. Your female dean has a good eye for choosing locations."

“This is where Aunt Erlong used to live in seclusion, but it’s no longer needed,” Chen Feng said.

Since Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were not very familiar with Dugu Bo, they respectfully bowed.

Dugu Bo waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities, and then said:
"I see. By the way, what brings you here?"

"I want to conduct an experiment. Old Poison Master, can you help us protect the Dharma?" Chen Feng said.

"Oh? What kind of experiment is it now?" Dugu Bo became interested.

Chen Feng looked around, and Dugu Bo immediately understood, "Come in and talk."

After the group entered the cabin, Dugu Bo used his soul power to seal it off to prevent any sound from leaking out.

Only then did Chen Feng speak:
"I had previously speculated that spirit rings and spirit bones might be the same thing, so I wanted to try replacing spirit rings with spirit bones to verify the correctness of this theory."

"Let soul bones replace soul rings?" Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat indescribable. "Are you sure you didn't get it backwards? The value of these two things is worlds apart."

“I didn’t say it backwards.” Chen Feng shook his head. “If my theory is correct, then a soul bone is more complete than a soul ring, and only the former can replace the latter. The reverse is not true.”

“That’s certainly the logic, but don’t you think it’s a complete waste of resources?” Dugu Bo sighed.

"To uncover the true nature of spirit rings and spirit bones, this kind of waste is unavoidable," Chen Feng said.

"Alright, then you give it a try. I'll watch from the side." Dugu Bo found a chair and sat down.

Chen Feng then took out a dark purple item from the Blood Sky and said to Zhu Zhuqing:

“Zhu Qing, you have now reached a bottleneck stage, and I have a soul bone here. I want you to absorb it and see what happens.”

"A soul bone!?" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened, and Ning Rongrong also showed a look of astonishment.

Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, this is a soul bone produced by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, but its actual effect may be weakened to some extent because the materials used to make it had some flaws."

It's not quite right to say there are flaws; rather, it's more accurate to say that the materials used weren't perfect.

Because the same small ball that the Silver Lightning Flying Serpent used was used to make this soul bone.

However, this soul bone does not have the attribute of lightning, so Chen Feng believes that the effect of this soul bone may be weakened.
