Chapter 315 Oscar: I'm not going to be human anymore! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

"A martial spirit has evolved? Really?" Inside the hotel, Oscar's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Chen Hong excitedly.

Ma Hongjun, standing nearby, excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Chen! Brother Chen! What about me! What about me!"

Seeing the excited Ma Hongjun, Oscar joked, "Fatty! Didn't your martial soul already evolve after eating that immortal herb? At least you're no longer troubled by the evil fire."

Ma Hongjun scratched his head and laughed, "But I still feel it has caused a little bit of trouble in my life."

Oscar rolled his eyes and said, "So, it's making you unable to go in and out of brothels with a clear conscience, isn't it?"

Chen Hong, who was quietly observing from the sidelines, remained silent.

Ma Hongjun's mutated martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, was originally an unstable, unfinished martial soul. It wasn't until Ma Hongjun consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower prepared for him by Tang San that the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower influenced Ma Hongjun's physique through his bloodline. This influence then manifested in Ma Hongjun's Phoenix martial soul, completing the incomplete origin of the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul. This allowed Ma Hongjun to successfully develop an immune system against the 'evil fire,' thus freeing his mind from the influence of his own evil fire and essentially returning him to normal.

Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is now a true top-tier beast martial soul.

"Fatty, the flaw in your Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is actually similar to that of a Title Douluo I know. You should have met that Title Douluo once before. He's the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, whom you met at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy last year. He's the one who took Tang San away." After silently eating some gossip for a while, Chen Hong finally spoke up.

In a sense, Ma Hongjun and Dugu Bo are similar in spirit. This world is just that wonderful, isn't it?

Ma Hongjun's evil fire and Dugu Bo's snake venom were both generated by their own martial souls during the cultivation process, but the soul masters themselves lacked the corresponding countermeasure system, which resulted in serious negative effects on the soul masters.

However, in Chen Hong's deduction, Ma Hongjun's evil fire was a defect in his martial soul caused by a mutation.

Dugu Bo's snake venom was a result of the Azure Scale Serpent family losing the 'venom gland' inheritance during the martial soul inheritance process, leading to a deficiency in the lineage. In essence, the Azure Scale Serpent martial soul is without flaws, and Chen Hong always held the world's 'transformation' rules in the highest esteem.

When the Azure Serpent King chose to transform into that form at the source of its martial soul, it must have had its own considerations. Otherwise, it wouldn't have left itself and its descendants with such a severe hereditary martial soul disease.

If the total amount of transformation energy a 100,000-year-old soul beast has when choosing to transform is fixed—after all, the law of conservation of mass applies—it's impossible for a soul beast to transform however it wants. At the very least, a 100,000-year-old soul beast's attribute points are definitely limited. Given that a 100,000-year-old soul beast has limited allocable attribute points, the Azure Scale Serpent King's decision to forgo directly using its precious attribute points to create venom glands for itself boils down to two possibilities.

Firstly, the 'venom glands' require a large number of 'attribute points,' which the Azure Serpent King found uneconomical. Secondly, the Azure Serpent King found a substitute for the 'venom glands,' thus eliminating the need to expend additional 'attribute points' to create them.

Whether it's the former or the latter, both possibilities indirectly prove one thing: the primal snake venom produced by the Azure Serpent Emperor's martial soul is extremely important, so much so that the Azure Serpent Emperor was unwilling to relinquish it during its transformation. It could even be said that the snake venom used by Dugu Bo, whose martial soul evolved into the Azure Serpent Emperor after advancing to Title Douluo, might simply be a diluted version of the primal snake venom.

Perhaps only when Dugu Bo fully masters his own original snake venom will the venom of the Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, which can be called the ultimate poison, have a chance to reappear.

"It's him?! The Poison Douluo, a retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire!" Ma Hongjun and Oscar were both surprised.

"Yes." Chen Hong nodded, but he was currently skeptical about Dugu Bo's identity as a "Heavenly Dou Empire retainer".

Judging from what Chen Hong saw each time he went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley to "plant vegetables," Dugu Bo seemed to be getting along quite well with the elders of the Spirit Hall. He was clearly already part of the group and enjoying himself so much that he didn't want to leave.

"You two have similar issues with your martial souls. You have evil fire, and he has snake venom. But the good thing is that you've each found the solution that best suits you." Chen Hong nodded to Ma Hongjun, then took another bite of Oscar's soul power meat-flavored cake.

It must be said that soul-powered food has an exceptionally high potential, ranging from small-scale fasting to large-scale upgrades that directly propel all soul masters into energy-based life forms. Its future is promising.

Although currently all soul-powered foods are created by soul masters using soul rings and soul skills, under the influence of the laws of heaven and earth, transforming the soul master's 'inedible soul power' into 'edible soul power', what if? What if Oscar, the first innate genius food soul master with exceptional comprehension and the first person in history to possess full soul power, could go even further?

Moreover, the current soul power food has a great advantage, which is that it does not produce waste. To put it simply, it does not require diners to excrete waste.

"Food-based Soul Masters have an extremely promising future. Both business and cultivation have boundless potential. Keep it up!" Chen Hong finished the Soul Power cake Oscar had given him and then ordered a juice. However, this time it wasn't Oscar who made it for him, but another Food-based Soul Master at Oscar's restaurant. This Master's Martial Soul was an orange, and while his Soul Master talent wasn't high and he was quite old, he worked for Oscar because of the good pay. In the now extremely prosperous industrial and commercial city of Soto, it was common to see Soul Masters with specialized skills starting their own businesses or working for others.

"Brother Chen, could you explain this a little more clearly? I'm actually quite confused about my future right now." The orange-themed food spirit master squeezed a glass of orange juice on the spot, and then Oscar handed it to Chen Hong. Oscar took the opportunity to ask his question.

Chen Hong took the orange juice with soul power and looked up to see that Oscar's once bright peach blossom eyes had become somewhat deep due to the trials of life.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Hong finally offered some advice: "I understand what you're thinking. Your starting point is nothing more than wanting to escape the reality of being a 'fish on the chopping block' for food-type Soul Masters, and wanting to become a truly powerful Soul Master who can stand tall and stand tall."

"Given your situation, you have two options: one is to follow the existing Soul Master system and solve all problems through Soul Skills."
