Chapter 77 'The Eye that Reflects the Soul'! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

Chen Hong and Oscar stared silently at Ma Hongjun, who seemed to have gained profound insight, unsure of what to say. Oscar, in particular, looked at Ma Hongjun with astonishment and exclaimed:

"Fatty! Are you alright?! Are you possessed??"

In his sage-like state, Ma Hongjun pushed away Oscar, who was hugging and shaking him violently, and said to Oscar with a Buddha-like light in his eyes, "No, it's just that I suddenly saw the true meaning of my life. I no longer need to be a slave to desires or a puppet controlled by evil fire."

"Xiao Ao, this is the real me now. I feel lighter in body and clearer in soul, as if the world has completely changed in my eyes."

"Clouds are clouds, mountains are mountains, flowers and trees are flowers and trees. All the illusions and delusions of the world vanish like floating clouds in my eyes. The true nature of things is revealed to me."

"Xiao Ao, as your good friend, I sincerely hope you can experience this state of inner peace and tranquility. I believe you will definitely like it."

"I feel I have laid down my sword; my thousands of descendants will no longer kill me, Little Ao."

Ma Hongjun kept verbally harassing Oscar, but Oscar didn't find it funny at all; on the contrary, he found it terrifying!

Is Chen Hong's skill effect too terrifying?

It's an indescribable and terrifying form of mental pollution!

How could Oscar possibly accept that he, a perfectly healthy, chubby little boy, had suddenly become enlightened and transformed into a wise man?

We agreed to be carefree and not study together, so how did you suddenly become the chosen one, saying you'd just lay down your "butcher's knife" like that? You need to give me some time to react!

"Brother Chen... what's wrong with Fatty?"

Oscar felt his scalp tingling as he listened to Ma Hongjun's constant verbal attacks and saw the other man's peaceful expression. He wanted to hide behind Chen Hong, but when he saw the yellow halo in Chen Hong's eyes that had not completely dissipated, he couldn't help but tremble, fearing that Chen Hong might suddenly decide to do the same to him.

"Well, Ma Hongjun's current state is the result of his previous accumulation being sufficient, which finally led to this state of 'sudden enlightenment'."

Chen Hong gave Oscar a reassuring look, then stared at the sage-like Ma Hongjun with a curious gaze, and asked with some curiosity, "My soul skill has different effects on different people. Some people will become silent, some will become enlightened, some will become indifferent, and some will even develop a state of detachment from worldly affairs."

"Ma Hongjun's current situation clearly falls into the latter category. He has been trapped by his martial soul evil fire for a long time, but he has finally gained a moment of clarity. Therefore, all the suffering he has endured before will eventually become beautiful clouds in the brilliance of his life at this moment, piecing together a stunning sunset that belongs to him."

"Huh???" Oscar stared in disbelief at Chen Hong, who spoke in a cultured manner.

The wise man Ma Hongjun, standing to the side, nodded gratefully to Chen Hong and said, "Brother Chen is absolutely right. It is precisely because I have experienced too many worldly affairs, the criticism of others, and the disdain of passersby that, although I have not said these things, I have always understood very well in my heart that I did not want to be consumed by evil spirits, and although I have fallen into the mortal world, my heart is not darkened. In a moment of enlightenment, I suddenly realized the truth."

Oscar was shocked to see Ma Hongjun about to spout off again and quickly rushed over to cover Ma Hongjun's mouth.

Why is it that we went to the same kindergarten, got into the same fights, but suddenly you can speak eloquently and have such a wealth of literary talent? If you suddenly become so outstanding, how are we supposed to have fun together in the future?

"Hey, Oscar, stop messing around." Ma Hongjun said with a gentle smile as he playfully bickered with Oscar.

Chen Hong watched with interest from the sidelines, making no move to stop him. Ma Hongjun, that guy, has a lot of stories to tell; he's certainly interesting.

His first soul skill, "Writing Mind Focus" and "Reading as a Sage's Time," is actually a kind of "eye of the soul," which can reflect the rational and peaceful state that a person should achieve in a conscious state.

Because Chen Hong has many distracting thoughts, he embodies absolute rationality to the fullest extent. Ning Lu, protective of her child, displays a rational anger. Ye Lingling, on the other hand, doesn't have as many distracting thoughts; her youthful naiveté makes her less courageous, ultimately resulting in a clear-headed calmness where she understands what she should and can do.

As for Ma Hongjun, don't underestimate this young guy. He has experienced a lot in the world. He has been a pure lover, a simp, and even a nymph. At least in terms of lust, he has more experience and more insights because he has the cheat device of evil fire.

However, those insights remained hidden in his restless heart during his daily life, unable to be properly explored or developed, ultimately leaving him in a state of mental chaos, blindly following the evil fire instead of awakening on his own.

The girls have all awakened, how can the boys be absent?

Ma Hongjun is someone who has "seen this world of desire with his eyes open," so he was able to awaken instantly after receiving "guidance" from Chen Hong.

"The study of soul power in this world is also a beautiful process of analyzing and reconstructing the rules of the world."

Chen Hong watched as Ma Hongjun, who was more inclined towards "Buddhism," was able to laugh and joke with Oscar, and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.

Chen Hong himself had pondered why his soul skill was so powerful. It was terrifyingly powerful, both to himself and to others.

Based on a certain law of conservation, Chen Hong roughly deduced that the main reason his skill was so powerful was that it lacked offensive capabilities. In fact, if Chen Hong hadn't mastered the Soul Ring, it might not even have any support effects. In other words, Chen Hong's Soul Skill had neither damage nor support; as compensation, it possessed powerful effects in certain aspects.

Just like the Seven Star Sword Formation, a unique soul skill that only the Seven Star Sword Martial Soul of the Ning Clan can cultivate, it is powerful but also has strong limitations.

Chen Hong's [Sage Time] is powerful, but it also has strong limitations. However, Chen Hong successfully comprehended the Soul Ring and removed the limitations from himself.

"If we follow the bloodline talent of my mother's family, then my second soul skill should also be self-amplification."

Just as Chen Hong began to ponder how to develop his second soul skill, a furious roar suddenly came from inside the courtyard wall beside him:

"Xiao Wu!!!"

I feel like the next two chapters are going to get banned again.
