Having someone who can fly next to him makes it convenient to go anywhere. This makes Ma Hongjun more determined to popularize transportation in this world.
But he can't give this to Flanders now, he can only wait until later.
Departing from Shrek Academy on the same day, they arrived at Notting City that evening, but Flanders did not immediately take Ma Hongjun to report to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
Instead, he rested for one night in Notting City, and the next day he took Ma Hongjun straight to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest.
After another day of flying, the master and apprentice rested for a night in a small town outside the Soul Hunting Forest. In the early morning of the next day, as Ma Hongjun finished practicing, Flanders took him into the Soul Hunting Forest.
Fortunately, he had a strong physique, and his soul power became fire attribute after awakening his martial soul. Otherwise, he would have caught a cold if he was carried continuously flying at high altitudes.
Ma Hongjun was born with full soul power and could obtain the soul ring a long time ago. For Flanders, this had been delayed for more than a month, so he could not wait to take Ma Hongjun to obtain the first soul ring first.
Only with a spirit ring attached can Ma Hongjun's evil fire phoenix spirit have powerful attack power and be able to fly.
Otherwise, with Ma Hongjun's current situation, he would only be able to fight head-on with others head-on with his fists wrapped in flames. Although there is nothing wrong with this, the frontal strength is the combat power obtained by Ma Hongjun's crazy training, not the ability brought to him by his martial spirit.
Therefore, only by obtaining the soul ring can the power of his martial soul be developed.
However, the master and the disciple had the same views and different views as to what kind of soul beast soul ring should be attached to Ma Hongjun's martial soul. The same point is that with the additional attributes of thunder, fire, light, wood, and wind, the thunder and fire light can bring powerful attack power to the evil fire phoenix. Moreover, thunder and light have the effect of restraining and purifying evil spirits, which may be able to improve Ma Hongjun's martial soul defects.
Wind can give the Evil Fire Phoenix the ability to fly or speed, and even develop the attack power of the Phoenix's fire wings.
According to the principle of attribute mutual generation, wood can fuel the evil fire phoenix's flame offensive and bring all-round attribute increases to Ma Hongjun's troublesome purple fire. Moreover, wind and thunder are also mutations of the wood attribute in the end. This is what the master and apprentice have in common. View.
The different point of view is that Flanders believes that as long as these attributes are suitable and the year is right, any soul beast can be used as his soul ring.
Ma Hongjun's point of view is that the phoenix is the lord of hundreds of spirits and the king of birds. It cannot live on anything but a parasol tree and cannot eat anything but a bamboo tree. Therefore, the soul beast chosen for his soul ring must be a soul beast with Phoenix bloodline. If you really can't find one, the worst you can do is to have an avian soul beast or a soul beast with dragon bloodline, or some special soul beasts.
Phoenix can be reborn from nirvana, so among the wood attribute soul beasts he knows so far, the only one he can like is Blue Silver Grass. Because the vitality of Bluesilver Grass is the most tenacious, it will definitely help develop the ability of the Phoenix to rise from the ashes.
He chose the dragon-attributed soul beast because dragon and phoenix were the best match. Apart from the types of soul beasts he mentioned, he was willing to choose the dragon-attributed soul beast. In addition to these, some soul beasts with special abilities are also okay. He doesn't want other soul beasts even if they don't have soul rings attached to them.
Flanders was so angry that he really wanted to beat Ma Hongjun to death with his solemn face. Was he choosing a soul ring or a wife? He was so picky.
Ma Hongjun said that he could only choose a maximum of nine soul rings. Flanders was right when he said he would choose a wife.
Flanders thought about how hard it was for him to meet such an outstanding heir to the mantle, and felt a little distressed, but decided not to smoke anymore. And Ma Hongjun was right, he couldn't use force, and he couldn't compete with Ma Hongjun's stubborn temper, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
The sunny, quiet soul beast forest with tall trees has a primitive appearance, and the roars of unknown soul beasts can be heard from time to time.
Most of the soul beasts kept in captivity in the Soul Hunting Forest are ten to one hundred years old. Those that are more than five thousand years old are rare, and those that are ten thousand years old are even rarer.
This naturally poses no threat to Flanders, who has the strength of a level 75 agility attack soul saint.
So as soon as he entered the soul beast forest, Flanders was instantly possessed by his martial soul and led Ma Hongjun through the tall dense forest, heading straight to the area where the century-old soul beast was.
With Ma Hongjun's physical quality, there is no problem at all in absorbing the limit age of the first soul ring, and it will be exceeded, so the soul beast they are looking for this time is around 600 years old. It's not much beyond that. With the powerful vitality characteristics of Ma Hongjun's evil fire, you can give it a try. This is what their master and apprentice have thought about carefully. This time they are also betting. If the bet wins, Ma Hongjun will have a bright future. If he loses, Flanders will have no choice but to leave sadly and find another successor.
However, judging from the test results of Flanders and Ma Hongjun on the Evil Fire Phoenix spirit, the higher the age of the spirit ring absorbed, the safer and more beneficial it is for Ma Hongjun.
A soul ring that exceeds the limit is powerful, but it also causes powerful damage to the body. Ordinary soul masters just can't withstand this, so absorbing a soul ring that exceeds the limit will bring the danger of body explosion and death.
But Ma Hongjun is different. He cannot be established without breaking. After breaking. In the process of standing, a very powerful life energy is needed to repair the broken body, and the powerful vitality of the evil fire is reflected at this time.
It's not that his vitality and energy are too strong, and his small body like Ma Hongjun can't fit it. Okay, I'll give you a big vat. As for whether this vat can be kept, it depends on whether Xie Huo's powerful life energy can repair his body by then.
That’s why Master and Disciple Ma Hongjun said they were gambling this time, but they didn’t dare to choose a date that was too high, so they set the target at around six hundred years. Even if the evil fire breaks down this year and does not help Ma Hongjun repair his body that was damaged by the power of the soul ring, with Ma Hongjun's physical fitness and firm will, he might still be able to persevere. This is why Flender will agree with Ma Hongjun's move. The reason why I chose a spirit ring around six hundred years ago for the first time.
Otherwise, even if he advocates gambling, he cannot make fun of the lives of his successors. It was this kind of gamble with hope, so in the end the master and apprentice chose this action. As long as it conforms to the categories unified by their master and disciple, and the year is right, any spirit beast will do.
Flying through the dense forest, Ma Hongjun seemed to be in good luck. He had just arrived in the century-old spirit beast area for about an hour when Flanders suddenly said in surprise, "Hongjun, you are in good luck. There is a Purple Lightning Swallower on the cliff over there." Skylark. This kind of soul beast is extremely ferocious. It can spit lightning from its mouth and is very destructive. It can also cause explosive damage to soul masters and other soul beasts. The attributes are suitable and it has extremely thin phoenix blood. Now it depends on whether the year is suitable. Come on. Let’s go over and take a look.”
Aren't you lucky? Soul masters usually obtain soul rings. No matter who they are, they have always prepared the plan to linger in the soul beast forest for several days or dozens of days. It can only be said that Ma Hongjun is very lucky to meet someone suitable for a soul beast.
As it flew closer, Ma Hongjun could clearly see what kind of soul beast it was. It was covered with a thick layer of purple smoke, and electric sparks flickered across its body. It was shaped like a fairy flycatcher, with a length of three meters and a wingspan of Six meters tall, it looks majestic. It's just that the fairy flycatcher in Ma Hongjun's image has blue feathers, but this purple skylark is blue-purple.
"Hongjun, look. This Purple Lightning Skylark is three meters long and has a wingspan of six meters. There is a faint yellow light on its body under the thick smoke of thunder clouds, so this happens to be a spirit beast that is close to six hundred years old. Your body is very powerful in all aspects, and it should be able to bring you various attribute increases. The explosive ability of spitting lightning from the mouth should give you a similar soul skill of spitting flames, and maybe it can also give you the flame blast. ability. Moreover, the Purple Lightning Skylark is not slow in terms of speed, and it is a flying soul beast. It may also give your Phoenix Fire Wings the ability to fly. It also has extremely thin Phoenix bloodline, so no matter what, They are all very suitable for you." Flanders saw the appearance and characteristics of this soul beast clearly, identified it, and explained to Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun listened carefully to Flanders' explanation, rubbed his hands, and said slightly excitedly, "Teacher, then I will choose this soul beast for my first soul ring. Please pay attention to your safety!"
"You brat, are you looking down on your teacher?" Flanders scolded with a smile, but he also knew that this was Ma Hongjun's concern for him. He looked around, chose a relatively safe place, put him down, and then stood behind him. Spreading his wings, he rushed towards the Purple Lightning Skylark.
Even though the Purple Lightning Skylark looked very powerful in Flanders' explanation, that was for soul beasts and soul masters of the same level. For Flanders, who is at the soul saint level and is good at speed, it is simply not enough.
Ma Hongjun was still preparing to watch a fierce fighting scene, but in the end, the ferocious Purple Lightning Skylark only launched a wave of attacks. It opened its beak and sprayed out a lightning bolt, but it did not hit Flanders at all.
I didn't see the fierce fighting scene I imagined, it was just a one-sided killing. Three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes, Flanders quickly brought the beaten and dying spirit beast to Ma Hongjun's side.
Looking at the dumbfounded Ma Hongjun, Flanders dropped the Purple Lightning Swallowing Skylark and threw him a dagger.
"Go and kill this soul beast. Only the soul master can kill the soul beast himself before it can absorb the soul ring. This soul beast is dying. Its weak point is its eyes. With your current strength, you can't penetrate it anywhere else." .”
Ma Hongjun straightened his head, took the dagger and quickly ran to the Purple Lightning Swallowing Skylark lying on the ground, pointed it in the eye, and stabbed it in without hesitation.
"puff!"
The juice splashed, and Ma Hongjun felt very happy listening to it. He remembered the time when he killed chickens and rabbits. He couldn't help but licked his lips. He was a little greedy, and he didn't know if the meat of this Purple Lightning Skylark could be eaten, or how it tasted.
At this time, a bright yellow soul ring with traces of purple electric sparks floated up from the body of the Purple Skylark.
Flanders watched the soul ring float up, with an unprecedented serious expression on his face, and asked, "Hongjun, it's not too late to give up now. Are you really going to try?"
Ma Hongjun nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Teacher, I'm serious!"
It must be done, either succeed or fail. His little brother Ma would rather die than become a hook-and-loop phoenix.
"Okay. Come on, teacher, I believe in you. No matter how the power of the soul ring impacts, you must persevere and remember not to give up!" Flanders was startled and warned seriously.
From Ma Hongjun's expression and attitude since they met, he had already understood that his disciple had the pride of being a phoenix and would rather die than live a mediocre life.
Flanders was right, the woman he, Ma Hongjun, wanted to choose must be the one he wanted to choose in his heart, and not be dominated by the evil fire. It’s even less likely that it’s a bus that anyone with money can take.
