Dai Mubai raised his hand and patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder. "Fatty, tell me what happened? Xiao Yan isn't the type to start a fight for no reason."
Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai with a strange expression. "Boss Dai, did you take the wrong medicine today? The Dean always teaches us that 'those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.' You're a Soul Elder, and I'm a Soul Grand Master. Why would we be afraid of those two? Are you even my brother anymore?"
"Fatty, don't be ridiculous. They're new students at our academy," Dai Mubai said, not wanting to court death.
Ma Hongjun glanced at Xiao Yan and the others with some surprise. "Oh? I didn't expect our academy to recruit new students again?"
Knowing who the three were, Ma Hongjun lost any desire to fight.
He found a place to wash his face and then told Dai Mubai what had happened.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect even Cuihua couldn't stand you," Dai Mubai said with a slight nod, trying not to laugh.
Xiao Yan asked in confusion, "What exactly is going on? Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul seems to be a mutated one, but it hasn't developed in a negative way. Is there something more to it?"
"I didn't expect you, Xiao Yan, to be able to tell that Fatty's Martial Soul is a mutated one," Dai Mubai said, glancing at Xiao Yan with some surprise.
Looking down at the short and stocky Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai said, "Are you going to tell him yourself, or should I?"
Ma Hongjun glared at Dai Mubai and lowered his head, saying, "You tell him."
Dai Mubai explained to Xiao Yan, "Actually, you can't blame Fatty for what just happened. You can only blame his... well, his chicken Martial Soul."
His weakness touched upon once again, Ma Hongjun retorted, "Bullshit! Your Martial Soul is the chicken! My Martial Soul is the Phoenix! Even if my elders' Martial Souls are all chickens, mine is still a Phoenix. Haven't you heard? Even a golden phoenix can come from a nest of chickens!"
Xiao Yan raised his hand and touched his nose. His elders' Martial Souls are chickens, but Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is a Phoenix-like chicken... According to some novels, this is clearly a case of reversion.
Dai Mubai was overly concerned with whether it was a Phoenix or a chicken: "Even if it's a Phoenix, Xiao Yan, you've also noticed that Fatty's Martial Soul is a mutated one. Even the Dean says his Martial Soul is very strange."
"Because of the mutation in his Martial Soul, the fat guy possesses very strong flame abilities. This flame is very strange; not only is the temperature extremely high, but it also has a strong adhesive quality, making it very difficult to extinguish."
Listening to Dai Mubai's introduction of Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul, Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
Indeed, this little fatty's flames were extremely bizarre.
When they left the place where the battle had occurred, the Blue Silver Emperor grass ball he'd initially launched was completely burned away by the adhering flames.
This seemed normal, but wasn't quite right.
His Blue Silver Emperor's first soul ring was at the 100,000-year level, the second soul ring was a resilient, around 50,000-year-old, golden silk vine, and the third soul ring was also at the 100,000-year level. In terms of durability, it was close to a metal like iron ore.
Unexpectedly, it was still burned away by the little fatty's flames, which showed how intense the flame's temperature was.
Dai Mubai continued, "The Dean said that after the mutation of the fat guy's Martial Soul, it is really possible for him to become a Phoenix. But this Martial Soul also has a huge flaw. Although the mutation brought powerful innate soul power, it also has a certain impact on his body."
"It makes his abilities in that area extremely strong, and his urges are ten times those of ordinary people. If he just suppresses it without proper guidance, then he could explode from the impact of this Evil Fire at any moment."
Ma Hongjun added, his face a little red, "The Evil Fire is hard to suppress!"
Dai Mubai nodded. "Because of this, Fatty often suffers from the Evil Fire. If he doesn't vent it, he would have died long ago. Although his Martial Soul is very powerful, this Evil Fire isn't easy to cultivate."
This is strange? Xiao Yan was a little skeptical.
Although explaining the Martial Souls of this fantasy world with science was a bit odd, the inheritance of Martial Souls came from parents, and Martial Soul mutations were similar to inbreeding. If he were to speculate based on inheritance, there would still be some basis.
After hearing Dai Mubai's explanation of Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul, Xiao Yan felt that the little fatty's Martial Soul was indeed a mutated Martial Soul, but this mutation was not complete. Some genes were missing, or some genes had problems and didn't mutate properly, thus causing the body to develop symptoms.
Xiao Yan released his mental power and quietly checked Ma Hongjun's pulse.
Under the influence of his powerful mental power, even without touching Ma Hongjun's body, Xiao Yan could accurately grasp Ma Hongjun's pulse.
The pulse was taut, straight, and slender, with a relatively strong pulse force and a hard pulse channel. It felt stiff under the fingers, rising and falling straight. To put it more vividly, it felt like pressing on a string. The pulse rate was rapid, with the pulse beats faster than normal.
Xiao Yan now understood Ma Hongjun's condition. He was suffering from yin deficiency and excessive fire. Furthermore, this fire was more intense than that of most people. If he weren't a Soul Master, with his special constitution, he might have died long ago.
He addressed himself as "Laozi" the moment he spoke, perhaps out of habit, or maybe it was a sign of inner turmoil.
Judging from their conversations over the past few days, the little fatty was indeed very easily agitated.
From a doctor's perspective, in summary, this little fatty was simply sick, and could be cured with some medicine.
Unfortunately, the medical knowledge of the Douluo Continent was limited, and his teacher could only take him to the brothel.
Although Xiao Yan had diagnosed Ma Hongjun's condition, he didn't intend to treat him.
Seeing what was wrong with this guy was one thing, but curing him was another entirely.
Without putting in some effort, it would be difficult to completely cure him.
This Ma Hongjun was unrelated to him, and his long-term prostitution had caused problems with his mentality. Even if he was cured, it would likely be difficult to change his long-standing bad habits.
Xiao Xue frowned and said, "But this little fatty can't go around harming girls, and what's more, he doesn't even plan to spare the girl's family."
Ma Hongjun said without the slightest blush, "What's wrong with that? Sharing a husband among sisters is very common on the Douluo Continent."
Dai Mubai also explained, "That's right. Although the fatty's Martial Soul isn't great, he's still a Soul Master with strong talent.
If ordinary commoners can marry him, it's considered a step up. After all, when they have children, because of the fatty, their children are also very likely to be Soul Masters."
Xiao Xue looked up at Xiao Yan. She was confused. Could things really be like this?
"Indeed." Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
Although it didn't sound good, that was the reality.
If a Soul Master appeared in an ordinary family, it would be like their ancestors' graves were smoking, a blessing earned over generations.
A Soul Master at rank eleven received a monthly subsidy of one Gold Soul Coin, enough to support an ordinary family for a year.
This was a much simpler and more direct path to success than struggling to get into a good university in the modern world.
As long as your bloodline was excellent, your children would likely become Soul Masters, achieving financial freedom instantly.
