Chapter 49: Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan Join! Mutated Phoenix!

Ma Hongjun said, "I am an upright gentleman; do not let your thoughts go astray."

A layer of soul power barrier spread out from his body.

"Next, what I am about to tell you is extremely important, and it is also the most crucial process for you to join Phoenix Academy."

Ma Hongjun explained the situation to the two women.

After hearing this, the two women revealed looks of shock: "You mean to say that our martial souls can also undergo mutation and become a Phoenix? Are Nine-Colored and Nether the descendants of your Bloodline Binding mutation?"

Dugu Yan was somewhat troubled; her martial soul was the Green Scale Snake, inherited from her grandfather. If it mutated into a Phoenix, would it still be an inheritance? "You actually don't need to struggle with the issue of the martial soul itself. After all, not only will the original attributes be fully inherited, they will also be amplified several times over. Furthermore, your Green Scale Snake is not your grandfather's imperial bloodline, just an ordinary type. It would be difficult enough to become a Spirit Douluo in the future, let alone a Title Douluo. Perhaps Spirit Saint is your limit."

"Dugu Yan, are you resigned to this?"

Ma Hongjun naturally understood the two women's concerns and was the first to say this to Dugu Yan.

After hearing this, Dugu Yan shook her head: "I am not resigned, but after my martial soul mutates, how am I to explain it to my grandfather? If I tell him directly, he might cause trouble for you."

Her grandfather was a Title Douluo, while the guy in front of her was only a Soul King. At such an age, no matter how gifted one is, if one has not grown up, even the most talented person can die.

Ma Hongjun said: "Your grandfather will not only not blame me, he will thank me. After evolving into a Phoenix, the phenomenon of you being poisoned will be resolved, and you will completely master the power of poison! As for him asking about this issue, you tell him directly that this is the blessing of the Phoenix God, and I am the Phoenix God's spokesperson in the mortal world!"

"I am poisoned? How is that possible? I was born playing with poison!" Dugu Yan felt that Ma Hongjun was mocking her, and she was somewhat angry.

A person born playing with poison, yet you say they are poisoned?

This was indeed somewhat absurd.

Ma Hongjun said: "Your poison is the result of your martial soul's backlash, and your grandfather is also poisoned himself. The reason your family members died inexplicably is also due to the backlash of the poison carried by your martial soul. Don't you experience abnormal and very uncomfortable situations every night before sleeping, such as soreness in your waist and knees, discomfort in your internal organs, alternating cold and hot sweats, and frequent nightmares? Even weakness? Fatigue?"

Dugu Yan was shocked: "How do you know!?"

Ma Hongjun said: "These are the signs of you being poisoned!"

"Then why have I lived perfectly fine until now?"

Dugu Yan was puzzled; now she believed him a little.

Ma Hongjun said: "That is because your grandfather has been channeling his Title Douluo soul power into you every so often to suppress the toxins in your body. However, the more toxins accumulate, the more of a disadvantage it becomes. Once the toxins accumulate to a certain degree and erupt, even if your grandfather takes action, it will be beyond saving."

Dugu Yan believed him completely: "No wonder. Grandfather said he was using soul power to clear my meridians. After clearing them, this situation would disappear, but it would appear again after a period of time, and Grandfather would clear them for me regularly."

Her eyes turned red. So she was a person destined to die? So her parents also died from this martial soul's poison backlash? She understood everything.

She hated this martial soul!

But she was helpless against it.

Ye Lingling, who was on the side, was also incomparably shocked after hearing this.

She did not expect to hear such rumors tonight.

"You just said... my grandfather is also poisoned?"

"But he is a Title Douluo!"

Dugu Yan found it hard to believe.

"Whether it is true or not, you will know when you see him and ask," Ma Hongjun said.

"Fine, go ahead! I want to get rid of the pain this martial soul has given me!" Dugu Yan said, sitting cross-legged.

Ma Hongjun nodded, summoned the Phoenix, and channeled the Bloodline Binding into Dugu Yan's body.

Afterward, he looked at Ye Lingling and said: "How have you considered it?"

"Your Nine Heart Begonia is passed down through a single line. If it weren't for this drawback, you would be the number one support on the continent."

"Perhaps mutating into a Phoenix can resolve the drawback of your martial soul and make your family prosperous!"

"At the same time, it can allow you to escape the fate of having no means of attack as a support, and allow you to become an existence with powerful combat capabilities."

After hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Ye Lingling nodded solemnly: "I am willing! Come!"

For the sake of becoming stronger! For the sake of power! And for the sake of the family's inheritance! She was willing! Ma Hongjun performed the Bloodline Binding again.

Next was waiting.

After the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, two powerful forces appeared on Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling one after another.

What appeared on Dugu Yan was no longer a creepy snake, but a very beautiful Phoenix.

The whole body was dominated by emerald green, distributed very evenly; it was truly beautiful.

Noble, Divine Saint, and holy!

Green Scale Phoenix!

It inherited everything from the Green Scale Snake and amplified its abilities several times over. Not only that, it also awakened various innate divine abilities, and even inherited techniques, and so on.

Green Scale Phoenix True Scripture!

That was one of them!

At the same time, the toxins in her body were also completely released, and were thoroughly absorbed and transformed into a part of her power.

Now she had completely mastered poison and gotten rid of the backlash pain brought by the poison.

"I succeeded!" Dugu Yan was overjoyed.

"It is good that you succeeded." Ma Hongjun and Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling.

An identical miraculous change also appeared on Ye Lingling.

With the appearance of nine different colors, the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul disappeared, and in its place was a nine-colored Phoenix different from the Nine-Colored Phoenix.

The beauty of this Phoenix was not the least bit inferior to the Nine-Colored Phoenix.

This was Ye Lingling's brand-new martial soul, Nine Heart Phoenix!

Both of their martial souls had reached the God-level quality! At the same time, four Spirit Rings also appeared on their bodies.

Both of them successfully broke through to level forty and became Soul Ancestors.

Ye Lingling's Spirit Rings were also a combination of nine colors, while Dugu Yan's were a vibrant emerald green, as beautiful as jade.

If the two of them were to face Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing again, the probability of winning would be very high given the difference in levels.

As for what the actual situation would be, it would still need to be verified.

Ma Hongjun brought the two women to the location of the Phoenix Academy, and after taking a look, it already had a simple framework in place.

The speed of the Spirit Master construction team was much faster than he had anticipated.

After all, they were working day and night to rush the construction.

At this rate, it might not even take three months to complete.

Afterwards, he took them to meet Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Welcome to the Phoenix Academy; from now on, we are comrades-in-arms! And sisters!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing gave them a very warm welcome.

Now the Phoenix Academy had five people.

They were still two people short of the number required to participate in the All-Continent Spirit Master Tournament.

Their academy already possessed the qualification to compete, but it was currently hindered by a lack of members.

Ning Fengzhi had also recommended people from his own sect, but they simply hadn't caught Ma Hongjun's eye.

"Still two short, who would be best to find?"

"Bai Chenxiang of the Min Clan!"

Ma Hongjun thought of a candidate; in the original work, this person was his wife.

It was just a pity that because of him, she missed the chance to ascend to the God Realm, ultimately ending up in a cruel long-distance relationship.

"I like cultivating the weak into the strong the most; her speed is not the least bit inferior to Zhu Zhuqing's, and once she evolves into a Phoenix, that speed will surely be even more terrifying!"

Thinking of this, he decided to go find Ning Fengzhi to see if he knew the location of the Min Clan.
