Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"Which bastard dared to drag your grandpa?"

Ma Hongjun paused, angrily turned his head, and the impatience on his face instantly turned into astonishment after seeing who it was.

"Wang Teng? It's you?"

"Fatty, how have you been?"

Wang Teng smiled and let go of her hand, as if to say hello.

"Oh, it really is you! Oh, wait a minute, I have something urgent to tell you here! I'm in a real emergency!"

Ma Hongjun hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to crawl inside again.

"Wait, I have something urgent to tell you."

Without saying a word, Wang Teng grabbed Ma Hongjun's arm again, this time using some force, and pulled him out.

"What urgent matter could you possibly have that's more urgent than mine?"

Ma Hongjun shouted as he tried to break free.

But when he pulled, he realized that Wang Teng's strength was astonishing, and he, a proper beast spirit master, couldn't budge him at all.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Hongjun not only failed to break free, but was instead staggered out of Yihonglou by Wang Teng, causing several girls at the door to cover their mouths and giggle.

"you……"

Ma Hongjun stopped, no longer caring about saving face, and stared wide-eyed as he looked Wang Teng up and down.

"It's been years! What did you eat to grow up like this? Your strength is even more intimidating than mine with my beast spirit!"

Wang Teng's heart also stirred slightly.

It seems that his efforts in consuming whale gelatin and training over the past two years have paid off. Today's real competition with Ma Hongjun has yielded immediate results.

However, Wang Teng did not show any joy on the surface. Instead, he just laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I'm growing and developing faster."

"Unlike you, you're always running around, all your energy and spirit are spent outside, how could you not be strong?"

"Screw you!"

Ma Hongjun spat in annoyance, but his eyes couldn't help but drift towards the doorway where the sweet voices of birds were coming from.

"Alright, alright, what is it you want? Tell me!"

"Otherwise, I really can't wait any longer!"

Wang Teng couldn't help but smile when he saw Ma Hongjun's expression.

Then, he leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said, "I might have a way to deal with that evil fire on your body."

"If there's a way, there's a way. I... wait a minute!"

Ma Hongjun was speaking when he suddenly jolted awake, turned his head sharply, and stared intently at Wang Teng, his tongue almost tied in knots.

"You...you just said...evil fire? You have a solution?"

Ma Hongjun looked at Wang Teng and asked incredulously.

"I just have an idea, and I'll have to try it out next."

Wang Teng spoke cautiously, continuing, "Furthermore, I need your help to verify it."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Hongjun's impatience subsided considerably, and a flame ignited in his eyes.

Ma Hongjun had been tormented by the problem of "evil fire" for too long, and he was unwilling to give up any hope.

Therefore, Ma Hongjun licked his slightly dry lips, his voice becoming more steady, and asked, "How do you want me to help?"

"This is not the place to talk."

Wang Teng put his arm around Ma Hongjun's shoulder and led him toward the street across the street, which was mostly lined with inns.

As Wang Teng walked, he said, "Let's find a quiet place to stay first, and then we can talk in detail."

As Ma Hongjun was led away, he asked in confusion, "Why bother finding an inn? Can't we just go straight back to the academy?"

"Go back to the academy?"

Wang Teng shook his head casually and said, "My method isn't even certain yet. What if it doesn't work? Wouldn't that just leave the dean and everyone else disappointed?"

"I think we should try it out privately first, and then we can tell the dean and the others if it works out."

That makes sense.

Recalling his past experiences of being filled with hope only to be disappointed, Ma Hongjun nodded and said, "That's true... then I'll listen to you."

The two entered a hotel that looked fairly clean.

The receptionist was a young woman, who was looking down at her notebook.

Wang Teng took out a gold soul coin from his storage soul tool and gently placed it on the table: "Get a room, something spacious."

"One room?"

The girl looked up, her gaze sweeping over the two men's faces with some surprise.

"Yes, one room."

Wang Teng confirmed.

A strange look appeared on the girl's face. She hesitated and asked again, "You...two grown men, are you sharing a room?"

"What are you thinking about!"

Ma Hongjun's face darkened, and he was both amused and exasperated. He cursed, "Just find us a bigger double room!"

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I made a mistake."

The girl blushed, quickly put away the gold coins, lowered her head to write in the book, and then took out a key with a wooden tag attached from the drawer and handed it over.

Chapter 125 Absorbing the Evil Fire, Eliminating the Aura of the Blue Silver Emperor

"Third floor, room 306, go up the stairs and turn right."

The receptionist handed over the key and said softly.

Wang Teng took the key and went up the stairs one after the other with Ma Hongjun.

The wooden steps creaked softly with each step, the sound particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

I found room 306, pushed open the door and entered. The room was more spacious than I had expected.

Two beds were placed side by side, with a table and chairs, and the window was half open, letting in a gentle breeze and circulating air, making it quite comfortable.

Ma Hongjun slammed the door shut, instantly shutting out the faint noise of the street.

Then, he strode to the table, picked up the teapot, poured a glass of cold water, and gulped it down.

After a few breaths, Ma Hongjun finally let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had finally recovered.

Turning around, his eyes were fixed eagerly on Wang Teng as he asked, "Now you can tell me, right? What exactly is the method?"

Wang Teng did not answer immediately, but simply extended his right palm.

The next moment, a deep yellow spirit ring appeared beneath his feet, and a fiery red spinning top condensed in his palm.

Above the spinning top, a phantom image of a Flaming Bird, the size of two hands, floated slowly, surrounded by a faint aura of intense heat.

"Is this the spinning top you summoned with your second soul skill?"

"What do you mean by taking this out?"

Ma Hongjun stared at the spinning red top, his face full of confusion.

"Keep watching."

Wang Teng didn't explain; with a flick of his wrist, he threw the Crimson Flame Divine Bird Top to the ground.

whoosh-

The top started spinning rapidly the moment it touched the ground.

"Wow!"

The Flaming Bird sacred beast above flapped its wings and let out a clear, melodious cry.

Immediately afterwards, a flame suddenly burst into flames on the surface of the top, the flickering light casting a faint red glow on the room.

"Evil fire?"

As soon as the flames rose, Ma Hongjun keenly noticed a peculiar fluctuation mixed in with the flames burning on the surface of the spinning top.

That was clearly of the same origin as the evil fire within my body.

"That's right, it's evil fire."

Wang Teng nodded and explained, "After I absorbed the second soul ring, I discovered that your evil fire aura had appeared in this spinning top."

"So I speculate that it might be able to absorb the evil fire in your body."

"If my Crimson Flame Divine Bird Spinning Top can periodically help you expel the evil fire, then it might be able to alleviate the backlash of your martial soul."

Wang Teng finished speaking in one breath, his gaze falling on Ma Hongjun's face.

Ma Hongjun stared blankly at the burning top on the ground, then looked up at Wang Teng, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"How about it, want to give it a try?"

Wang Teng continued to ask.

"...Okay, let's give it a try!"

Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth, sat down cross-legged, circulated his soul power, and released the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

Soon, wisps of flame began to rise from his body.

The flames were not the usual bright red, but rather a red tinged with purple, appearing eerie and scorching.

Clearly, this is a sign that the evil fire within Ma Hongjun is manifesting externally.

"The temperature of the evil fire is indeed higher than that of ordinary flames."

Feeling the rapidly rising heat in the room, Wang Teng quickly moved the tables, chairs, and other flammable items around Ma Hongjun away.

Then, he focused his mind on controlling the Crimson Flame Divine Bird Spinning Top and slowly moved it toward Ma Hongjun.
