Chapter 262 You Are Awake, You Are Already a Girl
Late at night, Ma Hongjun opened his eyes. What came into view was the flawless white ceiling, and the soul guide lamp emitted a soft white light, which was not dazzling even for Ma Hongjun who had just woken up.
"You woke up, you are already a girl, it hurts!"
"Brother, what are you talking about."
Ma Hongjun turned his head and saw two men and two women standing by his bed. The tallest one covered his head and looked innocently at the woman holding the snake staff. The other green-haired girl had a slightly red cheek and looked a little embarrassed.
And a man with blue-black hair covered his face helplessly, silently moving sideways, as if he didn't know them.
"Tang San." The voice was hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from the broken vocal cords. Ma Hongjun didn't care about the protest of the vocal cords, his eyes stayed on Tang San, and he slowly said: "You won"
Hearing this, Gu You turned his head to give Meng Yiran, who was holding the snake staff, a look, Meng Yiran understood, nodded and turned away.
"Congratulations, Ma Hongjun." Gu You took a chair and sat beside Ma Hongjun's bed. "You survived and don't need to be dealt with."
Take the cup of water handed over by Lanta, thank Lanta and drink it up. Feeling the thirst in his throat being moistened by the water, Ma Hongjun took a long breath and looked at Gu You beside him and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Gu You spread his hands with an indifferent expression on his face.
"Hongjun, are you okay?!" Just as Ma Hongjun was about to ask, the door was opened with a bang. Along with Flanders' voice, a black shadow instantly appeared beside Ma Hongjun, looking at Ma Hongjun sitting on the bed with concern.
Looking at Flanders, Ma Hongjun first smiled and bulged his biceps to show that he was fine. Then his eyes darkened, recalling that he was defeated by Tang San, and lowered his head to Flanders and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I disappoint you."
Flanders hugged Ma Hongjun and burst into tears. He kept repeating, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."
A minute later, looking at Flanders who hadn't let go, Gu You said unhappily, "Okay, how long are you going to hold on? Do you want to listen to our plan?"
Looking at the scene of the master and apprentice hugging each other, Gu You was quite moved. But being moved is moving, but being moved can't keep people awake. It's late at night, and you master and apprentice don't sleep. I'm a thirteen-year-old child who still hopes to go to bed early and get up early to grow taller.
Flanders let go of Ma Hongjun, with tears on his face, and bowed deeply to Gu You in Ma Hongjun's puzzled eyes.
"I'll trouble you."
"Yes." Gu You accepted this great gift without avoiding or dodging, nodded slightly, looked at Ma Hongjun and asked: "Do you still remember what happened before you fell?"
Although he didn't know what happened between his teacher and the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, Ma Hongjun still thought about it seriously. Under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, he looked at Tang San beside him and answered seriously: "I was fighting with him and was defeated in the end."
Ranta took out a notebook and wrote down Gu You's words and Ma Hongjun's answer. Noticing this, Gu You nodded slightly, slowed down his speech and asked: "Then do you still remember the last stage of the battle with Tang San?"
Ma Hongjun closed his eyes and searched his memory carefully. Finally, he rubbed his forehead with a painful look, shook his head helplessly, and answered: "No impression."
The mind seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. Ma Hongjun stood in front of the memory, but he couldn't see it clearly no matter what. There was only light and shadow flickering in the blur.
"Did you use the third soul skill in the battle?"
"Yes."
Without thinking, Ma Hongjun answered quickly. He still remembered the voice of Yu Xiaogang who shouted that he agreed to use his third soul skill when he was suppressed by the numerous blue silver grass.
"How do you feel after using the third soul skill? Do you feel very good?"
Ma Hongjun was stunned when he heard this question. Very good? What is very good? Can you feel very good when using soul skills?
Thinking carefully, Ma Hongjun felt that what Gu You said seemed to be correct. The posture of releasing his own power with all his strength and the extremely powerful black and red flames can indeed be described as very good.
But...After a moment of silence, Ma Hongjun shook his head, "It is indeed very good, but it should not be described as very good."
Under the gaze of everyone, Ma Hongjun said lightly: "After using the third soul skill, I feel... It should be relaxed."
"I see." Gu You nodded in understanding, as if he understood what Ma Hongjun was saying. Tang San and Ranta also quickly understood what Ma Hongjun meant, only Flanders looked at the others in confusion.
Gu You asked a few more questions, and after Ma Hongjun answered them one by one, he took the notebook from Lanta's hand and looked at the questions and answers on it and thought seriously.
After waiting for about five minutes, Flanders could not hold back his anxiety and asked in a low voice: "Gu You, can Hongjun's problem be solved?"
Although Gu You said that he was a genius and would find a way to solve Ma Hongjun's problem. But he was just a student after all, how could he have any good solution.
If Gu You and Tang San had not really been able to turn Ma Hongjun back into black flames, he would have asked Qin Ming again, and Qin Ming said that Gu You was a genius scholar and had a lot of ideas. Flanders would not have entrusted Ma Hongjun to these two people.
Under Flanders's gaze, Gu You closed Lanta's notebook with force, raised his head and said: "It's not a big problem, it can be solved."
Turning his eyes, Gu You showed a troubled expression on his face, and said to Flanders: "Lanta, please go out for a moment. Flanders, go hold your apprentice down, and Xiaosan and I will castrate him ourselves."
Seeing that the expressions of Flanders and Ma Hongjun slowly turned to horror, Gu You was about to laugh, but received another heavy blow on his forehead, which happened to be where Meng Yiran hit him with the snake staff just now. The pain increased, causing Gu Yu to scream while covering his head.
"Xiaoyou, be serious." Tang San rubbed his fingers, silently shocked by the hardness of Gu You's head. Although Gu You's words didn't contain any malicious intent, they were clearly malicious. Tang San found it really hard not to knock the skull at the right spot in his field of vision.
"Okay, okay, serious." Gu You nodded hurriedly, his expression instantly returned to serious, he stopped talking and took out a blackboard from the soul guide.
Putting on his beloved white coat, Gu You showed his scholarly side at this time, and said seriously to Flanders and Ma Hongjun: "First of all, let's start with your martial spirit, Evil Fire Phoenix."
Feeling that the knowledge level of these two people was not enough, and it was impossible for them to trust him unconditionally like Tang San, Gu You decided to start from the very beginning, and analyzed the martial arts soul in detail: "According to your teacher Flanders, your The martial spirit is a phoenix that mutates from a chicken, right?"
Ma Hongjun nodded. The martial soul's mutations were so bizarre that it was almost impossible to deduce them with common sense.
Some have become stronger, some have become weaker, some have changed half way through, and some have changed gradually. The white tiger can mutate into eyes and a brain, and the thunder dragon can mutate into a fire dragon. Basically, there are no rules.
The most ridiculous thing is that the rabbit mutates into a butterfly, and it is said that the goddess of light, Butterfly, is a martial spirit that can only appear in the most beautiful people. Firstly, his parents did not have the butterfly gene. Secondly, Wang Donger was not bitten by a butterfly when he was a child. Thirdly, Wang Donger should not be free to eat butterflies. It is impossible for this martial spirit to really awaken based on beauty.
Everything has a mechanism, and the so-called randomness is just because we don't understand the principle. In comparison, Ma Hongjun's chicken that turns into a phoenix is a bird after all, and it has something to do with it, so Gu You accepted it.
"Your martial spirit has transformed from a chicken into a phoenix because it awakened the fire attribute power. This is a positive mutation in itself. But the problem is that another attribute has also awakened in you."
"That's evil."
Evil fire is a product of dual attributes, and its roots are the two attributes awakened by Ma Hongjun. The combination of fire attribute and evil attribute will turn into that purple-red corrosive fire.
Gu You briefly explained what evil attributes are, and analyzed the evil attributes in Ma Hongjun's body in the simplest language.
After listening to it, Ma Hongjun thought it was nothing but an ordinary attribute. But Flanders, who was well-informed, frowned and realized that the problem with his apprentice was so difficult.
With evil attributes, no wonder Gu You said that Ma Hongjun might become a degenerate. This is completely different from the dark attributes that Yu Xiaogang originally mentioned.
"Judging from the performance, your evil attribute is essentially lust. Compared with other evil attributes, the way to vent lust can be said to be the simplest. Just find a girlfriend."
Just like in the original work, Ma Hongjun, at Flanders' request, kept using his identity as a soul master to talk to his girlfriend, and if he couldn't talk to her, he would go to the chicken pen.
If you ask if he has any feelings, he definitely doesn't, but from his own point of view, his behavior regularly vents his lust and keeps his evil attributes at a low level as much as possible. It can be used to enhance the power of flames and ensure that the brain is not burned out. It is a good method.
But Yu Xiaogang forbids Ma Hongjun to vent, which is a bit of a trap. When controlling water, the ancients knew that blocking was better than sparing, and Ma Hongjun was prohibited from venting. This is no different from building a dam without making a water outlet when controlling water.
When the water fills and breaks the dam, others will realize the extent of the problems that have accumulated previously. Until then, Ma Hongjun will really know that there is no cure.
However, the problem now is not small.
"Unfortunately, this was a method that could be used before the day before yesterday. Starting from yesterday, this method is no longer useful to you."
"Oh, we didn't seem to mention it." Noticing the confusion in Ma Hongjun's eyes, Gu You punched his palm and said with a sudden realization: "Yesterday was the day you fought Xiaosan. You have been in a coma for a day and a night."
Ma Hongjun was shocked. He didn't expect that a whole day would pass after just one fight. Gu You continued: "The fire attribute and the evil attribute combine in your body to become evil fire. This combination is not complete, and it can even be said that it has not really begun."
Ma Hongjun was surprised that such a powerful flame was evaluated as having not yet begun. But when his eyes glanced at Tang San next to him, Ma Hongjun could only smile helplessly.
Indeed, the flames that cannot even burn out the Blue Silver Grass can only be evaluated as having not yet begun to fuse. If the fusion is successful but the Bluesilver Grass still cannot be burned, then Ma Hongjun can only retreat from the world and no longer interfere with the affairs of the soul master world.
Noticing the depression in Ma Hongjun's eyes, Gu You slapped him on the forehead angrily, "What are you thinking about? Do you think integration is a good thing? You can live safely until now, thanks to these two Without fusion, otherwise I would have to look at the tombstones one by one to find you."
"Degenerate?!" Seeing the surprise and fear on Ma Hongjun's face after listening to his explanation, Gu You finally felt relieved. Having said all this, isn't it just to let Ma Hongjun know the seriousness of the problem?
As a young soul master who was safely protected by Flanders, Ma Hongjun, like most ordinary soul masters, did not know the existence of the Fallen. So he did not know how harmful this thing was.
But it did not matter. Gu You's personal experience, the tragic situation caused by the Fallen, and the possible consequences of not being organized were enough to let him know what kind of creatures the Fallen were.
Ma Hongjun, who was born in a commoner family and lived in a small village, could empathize with ordinary people more than other soul masters who were born in noble families and lived in big cities.
Seeing Gu You talking about his eight hundred rounds of fighting with the Fallen, Ma Hongjun was stunned. Flanders was amused, but he could not help but feel distressed when facing Gu You who looked weak (?). He thought: "This child must be in great pain."
Facing the tragic situation of hell, not everyone can keep their heart steady. The first time he was only six years old, he saw the tragedy of the village massacre. Then the second time was a cave full of flesh and blood.
Flanders asked himself, even if he had just come out to travel and had a higher level of soul power, it would be difficult to stay calm when seeing such things, and he might even give up traveling and stay in the city to choose to become a noble soul master.
"I... I... Will I become such a person in the future?"
Ma Hongjun's voice trembled a little. Gu You smiled and asked: "Why, are you scared?"
Ma Hongjun nodded and replied: "Yeah."
"Then the problem is easy. You have two paths to choose now." Gu You stretched out two fingers and told Ma Hongjun the same words he had said to Flanders, wanting to see what choice he would make.
After listening to the two futures mentioned by Gu You, Ma Hongjun lowered his head. But he soon raised his head again, with a firm light in his eyes, and said: "I choose the first one."
"Oh?" Gu You raised his eyebrows slightly and said provocatively: "You are a soul master. Choosing the first path not only gives up soul power, but also gives up martial soul. People without martial soul are not even as good as civilians."
"I know, but I still choose the first path, giving up soul power and martial soul."
The voice was still a little trembling, but it was very firm. Everyone knows that Ma Hongjun is serious. He is really willing to give up his martial soul and his capital as a superior person.
In the face of major issues, Ma Hongjun is quite sober. He grew up eating food from hundreds of families after his parents died. Although the village is not high in Ma Hongjun's heart, lower than Flanders and Shrek Academy, he feels uncomfortable when he thinks that he may become a degenerate who kills innocent people and slaughters the village for food.
Determined not to become such a person, Ma Hongjun looked directly into Gu You's eyes and asked, "So, when will you do something to my martial soul?"
Seeing Ma Hongjun's look, Gu You felt quite satisfied.
Silently laughing at himself for acting like a superior and testing others when he had nothing to do, Gu You calmly said, "Those two paths are just the paths you can choose under normal circumstances."
"But you met me, a genius like me."
"You have a third path."
It seems that everyone really doesn't like Yu Xiaogang in my writing. Although there are still some plots that have not been explained, it is also possible to tell them in the future with a sequel, so let's go back to the protagonist. I should have finished this chapter last night, but I got so engrossed in the novel that I woke up at three in the morning... I'm starting my seventh month of writing the book.
