Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Golden Dragon, Tang San's adoptive father

Chapter 65: Was the Phoenix Flame absorbed by Sanpao?

After a while, Luo Sanpao got up from the ground again, and at that moment, Flander, who possessed the Cat-Owl Martial Soul, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Luo Sanpao. He saw that a red ridge had appeared on Luo Sanpao's originally flat forehead. "Master, look, Sanpao seems a little different than before!"

Upon hearing Flander's words, everyone turned their attention to Luo Sanpao on the ground, and they also noticed the horn on Sanpao's head. "This... Master, have you noticed that the color of the horn on Luo Sanpao's head is very similar to the color of Fatty's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul?"

After carefully observing the color of the ridges on Luo Sanpao's forehead, Dai Mubai came to a surprising conclusion. Oscar exclaimed in surprise, "Master, do you think Luo Sanpao might have absorbed some of the Fatty's Phoenix Flame?"

Luo Sanpao's current transformation is clearly an evolution. Both his appearance and aura are significantly stronger than before. Even upon close inspection, one can feel a scorching heat, making it hard not to think of Fatty's Phoenix Flame. Hearing Oscar and Dai Mubai's words, Yu Xiaogang's heart sank. He immediately began checking his connection with Luo Sanpao. Soon after figuring out Luo Sanpao's soul skill, Gangzi's expression changed drastically. "Damn it, Sanpao seems to have actually acquired a soul skill that can breathe fire!"

According to his martial soul theory, the soul skill that Sanpao obtained is similar to his self-created soul skill. If this soul skill really came from his beloved disciple Ma Hongjun, then what kind of teacher is he? A bully who betrays his master?

Flander then realized the seriousness of the situation. He adjusted his glasses and said earnestly, "Master, why don't you have Sanpao spray some flames for us to see?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded and immediately activated Luo Sanpao's fire soul skill. The next second, a flame, purer and hotter than Ma Hongjun's phoenix flame, shot out from Luo Sanpao's mouth, striking a large tree in front of him and instantly turning it to ashes. This...

Seeing the bright flames that Luo Sanpao unleashed, everyone was stunned. It was clearly more powerful than Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame. "Master, something terrible seems to have happened! After Ma Hongjun absorbed the Ice Vine's spirit ring, his evil fire was indeed suppressed!"

"But the problem is that the purified Phoenix Flame seems to have ended up in Sanpao's body—."

After witnessing the destructive effects of the flames, Flander made a conjecture. At this moment, he began to wonder whether Gangzi truly intended to train Ma Hongjun or was plotting to steal his Phoenix Flame. After all, he knew that although Gangzi didn't say it, he always wanted to break through his limits and prove himself to the family. This time, Gangzi had tasted success, and if he tricked a few more disciples in the future, he might actually be able to break through the level 30 bottleneck one day!

After hearing Flander's words, Oscar and Dai Mubai quickly moved away from Yu Xiaogang. Gangzi was too cunning. Whether he did it on purpose or not, he had caused irreparable harm to Fatty. Fortunately, they had stuck to their principles and had not become Yu Xiaogang's disciples. Otherwise, they might be the ones suffering today. But Fatty was in a bad situation. After losing the Phoenix Flame, would his Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul really degenerate into a chicken?

Today, the two of them witnessed a method of training apprentices that was truly outrageous. Other people would take on apprentices and do everything they could to improve their strength, but Gangzi did the exact opposite. He stole his apprentice's innate flame to enhance his own strength, which really opened their eyes!

Just then, Ma Hongjun, still dazed, gradually woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, looking at him with a guilty expression. "Hongjun, I'm so sorry!"

Yu Xiaogang's words immediately caught Ma Hongjun off guard. It was the first time he had ever seen his teacher look so guilty. However, his intuition told him that something serious must have happened. "Teacher, what happened? Didn't you already get rid of my lust?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang remain silent, Ma Hongjun realized something was wrong and hurriedly checked his martial soul. When he discovered that his phoenix flame was gone, he realized that what he had just expelled was not evil fire, but phoenix flame that had been purified and had the evil fire removed!

"Teacher, what exactly happened? Where did my Phoenix Flame go?"

Ma Hongjun was extremely flustered at this moment. The Phoenix Flame was his greatest reliance on the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. If he lost it, how would he fight with others in the future?

Seeing the incredibly excited Ma Hongjun, Yu Xiaogang sighed and helplessly pointed to Luo Sanpao on the ground.

When Ma Hongjun saw Luo Sanpao on the ground, he was completely dumbfounded and could not believe what was happening in front of him. He really couldn't believe it. It was too shocking. The person who had just absorbed his Phoenix Flame was actually Sanpao. How could he accept this?

However, he couldn't care less about that now; his mind was solely focused on his Phoenix Flame. Ma Hongjun then turned his attention to Luo Sanpao. Besides the red horn on his forehead, Luo Sanpao emanated a familiar fiery aura. After carefully sensing the aura emanating from Sanpao, he realized that the flames on his body were the pure Phoenix Flame he had purified after removing the evil fire. "Teacher, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation for why the Phoenix Flame in my martial soul has ended up in yours?"

Ma Hongjun was now truly on the verge of collapse, regretting why he hadn't listened to Dean Flander's advice. He was even beginning to doubt Gangzi's motives for taking him as a disciple, wondering if Gangzi had been eyeing his Phoenix Flame from the very beginning.

What kind of lousy teacher did he have? Are there really such heartless teachers in the world?

Faced with Ma Hongjun's questioning, Yu Xiaogang, though feeling guilty, still earnestly replied, "Hongjun, I'm asking you, has the evil fire of the Phoenix Flame been removed?"

Ma Hongjun was taken aback, but still nodded, "Yes!"

"That's good then. I've fulfilled my promise to you, haven't I? I've removed the evil fire from the phoenix flames for you."

?

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's shameless act, Ma Hongjun was dumbfounded again. "But what use is the Phoenix Flame after the evil fire has been removed if it's not on me?"
