Chapter 29: Phoenix Heavenly Secret Technique, the Soul Fighting Arena Steward Comes Calling

After listening to the two women, Ma Hongjun finally realized it.

That's right, he hadn't even thought of this problem.

Behind Ning Rongrong is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; since she was taken away by him, the spies would definitely report it back to the sect, and Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong would certainly come in person to demand her back.

When they saw that his women had experienced a martial soul mutation, if they asked and others found out he possessed this ability, even if these three—Ning Fengzhi and the others—seemed like good-natured people, they would still have ulterior motives toward him.

Regardless, Ning Fengzhi appears on the surface to stand with the Heaven Dou Empire, but in reality, he is a businessman, and businessmen are profit-driven.

Is there any way to explain it?

Ma Hongjun pondered, and suddenly remembered the matter of the Immortal Herbs from the original work.

During this period, very few people knew about Immortal Herbs, and the only ones who had seen them were Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, but even they did not know these were Immortal Herbs.

His eyes darted, and he smiled slightly, saying: "Rongrong, if your family or others ask about your martial soul mutation, just say that it was a miraculous golden flower I discovered at the bottom of a cliff in the Star Dou Great Forest, which happened to fit your attributes perfectly; your martial soul was also calling for you to consume it, so you took it, and as a result, your martial soul mutated. After that, if they ask again, just stick to the story that you don't know."

"Zhuqing, it is the same for you; it was a miraculous flower we found in a cliff cave in the Star Dou Great Forest, its nether attribute matched yours very well, and under the call of your martial soul, you tried consuming it, resulting in your martial soul mutating into what it is now. This counts as your stroke of luck."

"In any case, only we know about this matter."

Ma Hongjun said.

If others were to use soul-searching techniques on them, the Phoenix origin could seal their memories, making it impossible for them to be read.

He wasn't worried about this point.

Moreover, martial souls and skills capable of soul-searching basically do not exist on the Douluo Continent.

Anyway, they only needed an explanation.

"I think this explanation is very good."

"It's just that we encountered it by chance in the Star Dou Great Forest; we were lucky, and our fortunes turned."

"If they want it, let them go into the Star Dou Great Forest and find it themselves. The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest Spirit Beast forest and its resources are the most abundant; it is normal and reasonable to encounter some strange things there."

"As long as our testimonies are consistent, it will be fine."

"Anyway, if others want to capture us, we will just use the Phoenix Transformation to run away."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at each other and both accepted Ma Hongjun's explanation.

The two women admired Ma Hongjun's intelligence even more in their hearts; he could even think of this. This explanation was the most reasonable, and it had a very high probability of being believed; even if the other party wanted to nitpick, it would be hard to find fault.

Being unreasonable is part of being reasonable.

If it were too reasonable, it would actually be the most dangerous.

"It's so late, do you want to sleep here at my place?" Ma Hongjun invited.

"In your dreams."

"We are going back to sleep."

The two women stuck out their tongues and hurried away.

Ma Hongjun secretly thought it was a pity.

He couldn't get a taste of the tofu cooked by the two women.

"Tang Hao can't find an opportunity to kill me, he must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, right?"

"Hmph, daring to bully the small with the big? You just wait for me; when I reach the level of a Spirit Saint, I will hammer you to death! You dog!"

Ma Hongjun looked at the forest outside the window, his eyes gradually turning cold.

He is a person who holds a grudge; if others are good to him, he will repay them.

Just like Yehuo Village, under his financial assistance, not only was the village built well, but it also had its own complete road, and every villager lived a prosperous life.

He is not like that trash Tang San; Old Jack the village chief did so much for him, yet even after having money, he didn't go back to visit, nor did he help build up the village.

Holy Soul Village remained so poor in the end.

Sure enough, there were people in his past life who commented that they would rather be brothers with Xiao Yan from the neighboring story than ever be brothers with Tang San.

However, Tang San did eventually help his few partners obtain some God Positions and ascend to the God Realm, which is justifiable, but the rest is not.

People are double-standard, and he, Ma Hongjun, is actually one too.

Suddenly, Ma Hongjun had a premonition; he hurriedly pinched his fingers to calculate. Within the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, there is a technique for calculating heavenly secrets, named the Phoenix Heavenly Secret Technique.

Very quickly, he calculated that tomorrow, Ning Fengzhi and the other two would arrive at Suotuo City to cause him trouble.

So he calculated the position of that fellow Tang Hao.

He didn't want to be sleeping in the middle of the night and suddenly have a hammer smashed into his face. Because of his interference, Zhao Wuji did not bully Tang San, so Tang Hao did not settle scores with Zhao Wuji tonight.

This can also be considered one of the butterfly effects brought about by his appearance.

In the future, such butterfly effects will only become more numerous.

After he appeared in this real world, everything was changing because of his actions; how future events would develop, he himself could not calculate, as there was a layer of chaotic mist obscuring it.

This also had to do with his cultivation not being high enough.

Although calculating heavenly secrets can allow one to see a glimpse of the future, it also has the power of karma silently adding to oneself, so he usually does not use it.

The power of karma is very terrifying.

Even the Phoenix Ancestor fell under this power.

As a mere Soul King, he naturally dared not act recklessly.

No matter how trashy this world is, it is still a complete world.

He sat cross-legged and continued his meditation practice.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning.

Ma Hongjun woke up early, and after finishing a rich breakfast with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, he entered the Soul Fighting Arena.

At this time, the steward of the Soul Fighting Arena came looking for him.

"Nine Colors, Nether, we have something we would like to cooperate with you on."

"We can provide you with sufficiently abundant money as a reward!"

The deacon got straight to the point as soon as he started.

"What is the matter?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"Let's go inside to talk." The group followed the deacon into the VIP room.

The deacon began to speak: "It is like this: a team consisting entirely of Soul Elders has arrived in Heaven Dou City and wants to challenge us here, but we do not have a powerful Soul Elder team here that can contend with them, so I would like to invite you to join; I will gather the other five team members for you."

"Then who will be the commander and captain? Are we just going to fight our own way?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"You can decide that based on your strength when the time comes," the deacon said.

"This young master, do you want to join?" The deacon felt that someone who could hang around with the two of them, Nine-Colored and Nether, should not be a simple person either.

"I have no interest in Soul Elder matches; it would just be bullying children."

"Can you tell me what that team is called?"

Ma Hongjun shook his head; he could completely crush the opponents if they were Soul Elders, as he could beat a whole group of them by himself.

If he went up, there would be no challenge left for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"What a pity."

The deacon realized that the other party's cultivation was very powerful, otherwise it would be impossible to be so arrogant.

If his strength exceeded that of a Soul Elder, going up would also cause the battle to lose its balance, which was also undesirable.

"Heaven Dou Royal Team."

"This is the main force of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and the strength of their students is extremely powerful!" the deacon said.

The four words "Heaven Dou Royal" were enough to make him wary.

Because this was an elite academy affiliated with the imperial family that only nobles could enter, and ordinary people could not get in at all.

'It really is them!'

'Great, Ye Lingling, here I come.'

Ma Hongjun thought to himself.

He had long wanted to recruit her into the Phoenix Academy.

In the future, he wanted her to participate in the Spirit Master tournament to showcase the strength of this newly founded academy and shock the people on the continent.

"They can agree to your request, but we require that this team be named the Phoenix Team."
