Chapter 101 The Phoenix of Evil Fire (Part 4)

As expected, Xiao Wu gave Ma Hongjun no chance to react. She spun around and was already behind him, her hands on the ground, her legs instantly swinging up and clamping around Ma Hongjun's neck. Her first spirit ring skill, Waist Bow, was activated. [For error-free chapter reading, search on Google.]

Xiao Wu's entire body was like a large, curved bow. The light of her first spirit ring instantly covered her entire body. Then, her body, like a fully drawn bow suddenly exerting force, flung Ma Hongjun's body away.

The Waist Bow's Soul Skill effect: Instantly increases the user's waist strength by 100% and body resilience by 50%. After reaching Soul Power Level 10, the amplification effect of the Waist Bow increases by 1% for each additional level.

In other words, now that Xiao Wu has activated her waist bow, she can amplify her waist strength by 119%. The instantaneous burst of elasticity is enough to throw any non-strength-type opponent below level 50 in soul power. Of course, while the waist bow is powerful, it only works when you are close to the enemy. Otherwise, having waist strength is useless. It's hard to imagine that Xiao Wu's slender waist, which is not even as thick as Ma Hongjun's thigh, can generate such tremendous elasticity.

Since Ma Hongjun had restrained his flames, Xiao Wu showed mercy and did not slam Ma Hongjun's body directly to the ground. Instead, she threw him into the air, giving him time to regain control of his body.

However, she clearly overestimated Ma Hongjun's control over his body. The fat man tumbled and rolled around in the air a few times before finally crashing to the ground, completely disoriented.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Cuihua, the girl beside him, suddenly spoke up and ran quickly towards Ma Hongjun. The flames on Ma Hongjun's body seemed to have been extinguished by the fall, and he struggled to get up from the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Cuihua patted the dirt off Ma Hongjun's clothes. "How are you?"

Ma Hongjun snorted and said, "Not dead yet. Little rabbit, come again."

Xiao Wu suddenly jumped up, and with two whooshing sounds, her shoes were thrown off. Although her soul power resisted most of the effects of Ma Hongjun's second soul skill, Phoenix Rebirth, the shoes on her feet, which were clamped around Ma Hongjun's neck, were still stained with the purple flames.

To Xiao Wu's surprise, the purple flames had a viscous feel and didn't extinguish after touching them. Left with no other choice, she threw off her shoes, standing barefoot on the spot.

"Miss Cuihua, what's wrong?" Xiaowu was puzzled by Cuihua's concerned expression towards Ma Hongjun. Wasn't this fat man bullying her before? Why is he doing this now...?

Cuihua pleaded, "Please stop fighting. Actually, Hongjun is a good person, it's just that we're not compatible. So I have to break up with him. You can go now, I'll talk to him and make things clear."

Ma Hongjun angrily said, "Mind your own business and get out of my way." With that, he pushed Cuihua aside and was about to rush towards Xiaowu again, but he did not use his second soul skill again for fear of hurting Cuihua.

Just then, a surprised voice rang out, "Tang San, Fatty, what are you doing?"

Tang San and Ma Hongjun looked in the direction the sound came from at the same time, and saw Dai Mubai, dressed in white with his hair neatly combed, walking towards them.

Xiao Wu snorted. "What happened? Ask him. This fat guy was bullying a girl in broad daylight, and we couldn't stand it, so we had to teach him a lesson."

Dai Mubai's usually cold and aloof face suddenly broke into a smile. "Xiao Wu, I think you've misunderstood. Cuihua, you can't stand him either?"

Cuihua blushed, nodded, and turned to run away. This time, Ma Hongjun didn't try to stop her; he just looked dejected.

Tang San walked to Dai Mubai's side and asked in confusion, "What exactly is going on?"

Dai Mubai looked at the fat man and said, "Should you say it yourself, or should I say it for you?"

Ma Hongjun glanced at Dai Mubai, then lowered his head and said, "Go ahead and speak."

Dai Mubai laughed, "What? You fatso, you can be shy now? Okay, I'll say it for you."

Then, he turned to Tang San and Xiao Wu and said, "Do you remember when I told you that the academy only had three students, including myself?"

Tang San immediately understood. "You mean, he is..."

Dai Mubai nodded and said, "Yes, Fatty is the third one. He's also the last one to enter the academy before you. Although I didn't see what happened just now, I can guess what it was. Actually, you can't blame Fatty; you can only blame his pathetic martial spirit."

"Bullshit! Your martial soul is a chicken, while mine is a phoenix. Even if my elders' martial souls were chickens, mine is still a phoenix. Haven't you heard that there can be a golden phoenix in a grass nest?" Ma Hongjun said irritably.

Dai Mubai's smile remained unchanged. "Phoenix, alright, let's call it a phoenix then. Tang San, Fatty's martial soul is very strange. The dean said that his martial soul is a mutated martial soul."

"A mutated martial soul? What kind of martial soul mutated with what kind of martial soul?" Tang San pressed. He had heard a lot about mutated martial souls from Grandmaster. Once a martial soul mutates, there are only two possibilities: either it becomes extremely powerful, or it is weakened. Grandmaster himself had suffered from the pain of a mutated martial soul. And the martial soul of Ma Hongjun in front of him was clearly a benign mutation.

Dai Mubai said, "Don't even mention me, even Ma Hongjun himself probably doesn't know. In their village, everyone's martial soul is basically a kind of domestic fowl with no offensive power. I don't know how, but when it came to him, his martial soul mutated, and he was born with the ability of fire. Fatty didn't enroll on his own, but was found in their village by the dean three years ago and brought back. He should be about the same age as you."

"Due to the mutation of his martial soul, Fatty possessed a very strong fire ability. This fire was extremely strange; not only was the temperature extremely high, but it also had a strong adhesive quality, making it very difficult to extinguish. The dean said that after his martial soul mutated, he might actually become a phoenix. However, his martial soul also had a huge flaw: while the mutation brought powerful soul power, it also had a certain impact on his body."

Ma Hongjun quickly added, "The anger is rising and can't be suppressed!"
