The Shrek team's morale was low.
Tang San's Eight Spider Lances were shattered by Lin Xiao's punch. Although high-quality External Soul Bone had the ability to self-repair, this process was undoubtedly extremely slow and would delay cultivation.
Yu Xiaogang sighed heavily.
"Tang San, why did you expose your External Soul Bone? A man is not guilty, but he is made so by possessing a treasure!"
If he didn't know that Tang Hao was accompanying them,
Yu Xiaogang's mentality would have already collapsed.
Tang San was extremely dejected, his eyes vacant.
"Teacher, you once said that I am a genius, one in ten thousand, but that Lin Xiao is the same age as me, so why can he beat me to the ground? Why is the gap between him and me so big!"
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself that things were going badly.
Lin Xiao was likely to become Tang San's inner demon! He angrily said, "Fool! Only those with short-sighted vision would care so much about immediate gains and losses! Lin Xiao's two teachers are both wealthy and generous, how could they not give him the best cultivation resources?"
"Remember what I said!"
"There are no useless Martial Souls in the world, only useless people!"
"Tang San, don't forget what is most special about you! Lin Xiao is indeed far ahead of you right now, but haven't you heard of those who surpass later?
"Sharpening your axe won't delay your work! That Lin Xiao is eager for quick success and pulls up the seedlings to help them grow. In the future, he won't even be qualified to carry your shoes!"
Yu Xiaogang's impassioned speech rekindled the light in Tang San's eyes. He nodded heavily, and a heroic spirit suddenly arose in his heart! "A dragon swimming in shallow water is mocked by shrimp, and a tiger fallen on the plain is bullied by dogs!"
"Teacher, I understand!"
"The reason I am inferior to Lin Xiao is because my early development was slow, while Lin Xiao grew rapidly under the forced growth of numerous resources. It was when I was at my weakest that I encountered Lin Xiao at his strongest!"
The Burning Maple Battle Team members who had just walked out: "..."
Lin Xiao hesitated several times.
But still didn't explain to Shrek what Ultimate Martial Soul was.
"Hongjun!"
Lin Xiao called out. Ma Hongjun's shoulders trembled, but he didn't turn around. Instead, he quickened his pace and disappeared from Lin Xiao's sight with the rest of the Shrek team.
Lin Xiao stood there, silent for two seconds.
Shui Binger gently tugged at Lin Xiao's sleeve.
Like a loyal and never-betraying little follower.
Lin Xiao sighed softly.
"Do you know? Ma Hongjun and I are childhood friends. He liked to follow behind me since he was a child. Until the awakening of his Martial Soul, he was complacent and delighted that his Martial Soul was so similar to mine."
"Until the problem of Evil Fire broke out."
"Hongjun and I made completely different choices. From then on, his attitude towards me changed, as if we were incompatible like fire and water."
"But deep down, I still cherish old friendships."
Dugu Yan crossed her arms, saying aloofly, "Lin Xiao, do you remember what you once said?"
"Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups."
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
"You and he were never meant to be in the same world. You just briefly met at a fork in the road of life, and soon went your separate ways. There's no need to dwell on it!"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
"That's true. I wish him good luck."
"My path may not be suitable for him."
However, if Ma Hongjun had desperately begged him out of their old friendship, Lin Xiao might have actually helped him solve the flaw of the Evil Fire, at most erasing the possibility of the Phoenix evolving.
"Goo goo!"
The Little Red Bird glanced at the direction Ma Hongjun left with disdain. The other party also had a trace of evolutionary potential, but it was not as great as Lin Xiao's potential.
It was just that the fatty's aura was mixed, and the origin in his body was almost exhausted.
Evil Fire Phoenix? The Maple Leaf doesn't acknowledge it! At best, it's just an Evil Fire chicken...
Shui Binger suddenly stepped forward, gently holding Lin Xiao's arm, and said with a sweet smile, "Yes, yes!"
"Lin Xiao Gege, don't reminisce. Binger will always be by your side!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged glances.
Both had solemn expressions!
Damn it, what a high level of skill. It's impossible to tell whether she's truly beautiful and kind, or a high-level scheming woman, but this Shui Binger is definitely not someone to be trifled with! ...
Back at the hotel.
Ma Hongjun rarely couldn't eat. He walked back to his room without saying a word and locked the door.
He didn't come out for a long time.
Flender knocked on the door worriedly.
"Hongjun, Hongjun?"
The door didn't open.
Flender's voice carried a hint of anger.
"Open the door! Otherwise, I'll force my way in!"
There was no response for a long time.
With a bang.
The door was violently destroyed by Flender.
Flender looked up and saw that Ma Hongjun's room was messy, and the mirror on the table was shattered all over the floor. Blood was still flowing from Ma Hongjun's fist.
Tears hung in his eyes as he stared at Flender, his eyes bloodshot.
"Teacher, tell me why? Why is Lin Xiao always better than me!"
"Am I really that much worse than him?"
"That damn heavens are always biased towards him! He's better looking than me, smarter than me, even the Martial Soul he awakened is more powerful, and his Soul Power is higher!"
"Why!!!"
Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth desperately, roaring out.
"Why doesn't he just die? After he refused to vent his Evil Fire and overestimated himself by leaving Soto City, why didn't he just die?"
"If he died! Even if others laugh at me for being a chicken for the rest of my life, I can tell myself that I am the Evil Fire Phoenix!"
"I am the Phoenix! The one and only Phoenix!!!"
Flender was silent, looking at Ma Hongjun with complicated eyes, a deep disappointment hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Hongjun... is really more than a star and a half behind Lin Xiao.
He still hasn't realized his mistakes, only knowing how to complain and blame others, even wanting to push all the blame onto Lin Xiao.
Ma Hongjun sensitively noticed the disappointment in Flender's eyes, his heart ached, and the Evil Fire in his body uncontrollably became chaotic. The originally bewitching red fire turned into mottled Black Fire, and his eyes turned blood red.
The Soul Power fluctuations became extremely violent!
Flender was shocked.
Before he could react, Ma Hongjun suddenly broke through the window and left!
He stood there stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly shuddered and chased out at top speed.
"Stop!"
"Flying is forbidden within Heaven Dou City!"
The Heaven Dou City enforcement team appeared, blocking Flender. Seeing the tense posture of the other party, as if facing a great enemy, and the arrows on their bows, Flender helplessly stopped and tried to explain:
"My disciple is having a bit of a problem..."
A shout came from afar.
"The Fallen One flew towards the Crown Prince Residence! Catch him!"
Flender's hair stood on end.
Fallen One! He had already guessed that Ma Hongjun was going crazy, faintly showing signs of falling, and the way he was emotionally out of control clearly showed that he was not in his right mind! But he still explained, "No, my disciple is just a little emotionally agitated..."
"Your disciple? Are you an accomplice of that Fallen One?"
"Take him down!"
Flender could no longer bear it, and seven Soul Rings rose behind him.
The aura of a Soul Saint powerhouse emanated...
"Not good, the accomplice is powerful!"
"The Spirit Hall, in conjunction with the two great empires, launched a campaign to exterminate them, yet there are still remnants of the Fallen One? And here in Heaven Dou City!"
The leading squad captain released a signal flare.
Heaven Dou City was placed under full martial law, and the Royal Knights were also rushing over.
Flender felt a chill in his heart.
It's over, it's all over!
He didn't dare to act rashly, fearing that he would confirm the title of Fallen One, and by then he could flee to the ends of the earth, but the Shrek members would be implicated innocently!
Flender could only surrender.
The Shrek members came out of the hotel, seeing this scene before them, their expressions panicked.
"Yu Xiaogang, find someone to bail me out!"
In desperation, Flender only left one sentence before being escorted away by the guard
