Chapter 27: Piercing Light!
The moment the spirit ring enters the body.
A tremendous force surged into Ma Hongjun's body.
Unlike the first time I absorbed the Holy Light Sparrow.
This time, the power is even more violent and domineering.
Although the Holy Light Falcon is also a Light-type Soul Beast.
But it carries the blood of the ancient phoenix.
That bloodline power resonated strongly with Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.
heat.
But it's not the kind of burning heat like evil fire.
It was a scorching, burning sensation, like being thrown into a furnace.
Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth.
Veins bulged on his forehead.
He could sense it.
That force is transforming his body.
The meridians are expanding.
The bones are strengthening.
The muscles are being rewoven.
Simultaneously.
The Holy Light Falcon's power of light and the evil fire began a new round of clashes.
But unlike the first time.
This time.
The power of light prevailed.
The trace of ancient phoenix bloodline within the Holy Light Falcon.
It has a natural suppressive effect on evil fire.
That was a crushing defeat at the level of bloodline.
It is the absolute rule of the superior over the inferior.
The evil fire is struggling.
It's roaring.
But to no avail.
That trace of phoenix bloodline was like a sharp scalpel.
Precisely targeting the core of the evil fire.
It strips away, purifies, and removes its most evil and filthy parts bit by bit.
Ma Hongjun's consciousness remained slivered amidst the pain.
He could sense it.
The internal fire is being suppressed.
It is being washed.
It is being purified.
That malevolent force that had been haunting him.
It is weakening at a rate visible to the naked eye.
It's like a river that's been polluted for too long.
Finally, the clear water from upstream arrived.
The filth was washed away.
The river water gradually became clear.
I don't know how much time passed.
The pain subsided.
Instead, it brought an unprecedented sense of comfort.
Ma Hongjun opened his eyes.
I found myself standing on the ground.
He didn't know when he landed.
He doesn't even remember the landing process.
Two spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
The first one.
yellow.
Wings of Light.
The second one.
Dark yellow.
bright...
He hadn't had time to check the name and effect of the soul skill.
First, I sensed the change in my martial spirit.
Martial spirit possession.
Flames erupted from within his body.
It's no longer dark red.
Instead, it is golden red.
The main color of the flames remains dark red.
However, the proportion of gold patterns has decreased from 30% to 40%.
It surged to over 60%.
The texture of the flames also changed.
Previously, it was fiery and irritable.
It is still scorching hot.
But he's less irritable now.
It has gained a sense of quiet strength.
A phantom image appeared behind me.
changed.
It's no longer that round, plump turkey.
My neck has gotten longer.
The body has contracted.
The tail feathers differentiate into two slightly longer central tail feathers.
Although the outline is not clear enough.
Although it is far from being a phoenix.
But it already has the shadow of a "phoenix".
Flanders stood still.
Looking at the illusory figure behind Ma Hongjun.
Silent for a long time.
Li Yusong gripped the dragon-patterned staff tightly.
The knuckles are slightly white.
Lu Qibin pushed up his glasses.
The golden-red flame was reflected in the lens.
"This martial spirit—it's alive." Flander finally spoke.
His voice was a little hoarse.
He's alive.
His voice was deep: "This kind of evolution that fundamentally changes the attributes of a martial soul is the first time I've seen it."
Lu Qibin pushed up his glasses, and the golden-red flame was reflected in the lenses.
"It's not about changing the attributes, it's about purifying them," he corrected. "The Evil Fire Phoenix originally had the potential for the attributes of light, but it was suppressed by its evil nature. What Hongjun did was to use external force to gradually remove the evil nature, allowing the martial soul to return to its original form."
"The Phoenix of Light," Flander uttered those four words.
These four words are like a key, unlocking a door to a certain possibility.
Ma Hongjun descended from mid-air, his light wings retracting and his flames subsiding.
His breathing was slightly rapid, but his eyes were so bright they seemed to hold two stars.
"Teacher, I see the second soul skill!"
"What effect?"
Ma Hongjun raised his right hand and activated his soul power.
The deep yellow second spirit ring lit up.
He closed his eyes, feeling the power contained within the spirit ring.
A sharp, penetrating will, like an arrow released from a bow.
He opened his eyes and suddenly pushed forward with his right hand.
A golden light shot out from his palm.
The beam of light was about three feet long, shaped like a spear, with an extremely sharp tip, and was formed entirely from pure light energy.
It shot out at a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye, leaving a golden afterimage in the air.
"puff!"
A fist-sized hole appeared in the trunk of a large tree a hundred meters away.
Sunlight streamed through the hole, casting a round patch of light on the ground on the other side.
Flander's pupils suddenly contracted.
"So fast," Li Yusong said in a low voice.
"Such strong penetrating power," Lu Qibin added.
Ma Hongjun looked down at his right hand, somewhat shocked.
He had only tentatively activated his soul skill; he hadn't used his full strength.
Even so, the speed and penetrating power of that spear of light far exceeded his expectations.
"Second Soul Skill, Light Piercing," he murmured, uttering the name of the Soul Skill.
Flander stepped forward and carefully examined the large tree that had been pierced.
The edges of the tree hole were smooth and neat, as if they had been scalded by a red-hot iron rod, without a single burr.
"It also has a burning effect from light," Flander judged. "It's not just simple physical penetration; the moment the light spear hits, the power of light will burn the tissue around the wound, preventing healing."
He turned around and looked at Ma Hongjun.
"This soul skill's destructive power will be doubled against dark attribute and evil spirit martial souls."
Ma Hongjun nodded, a surge of barely suppressed excitement welling up inside him.
Light Piercing, a ranged attack, is fast and has strong penetrating power, and inflicts light burning.
This perfectly compensates for the fact that his first soul skill only has flight and amplification, and lacks direct attack methods.
"Try again," Flander commanded. "Give it your all."
Ma Hongjun took a deep breath, and his second spirit ring lit up again.
This time, he held nothing back.
The golden-red flames suddenly surged higher, and the phoenix phantom behind them became even clearer.
The change in the afterimage was most obvious, especially when he activated his second soul skill.
A long neck, outstretched wings, and forked tail feathers.
At that moment, what stood there was not a six-year-old child, but a real phoenix.
Although it was only for a moment.
The golden light shot out from his palm, thicker, longer, and faster than before.
The light spear traced a straight path through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
boom!
Another large tree a hundred meters away was cleaved in half by the light spear.
The upper half of the tree trunk collapsed with a crash, hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust and fallen leaves.
Ma Hongjun was panting heavily, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Activating Light Pierce at full power consumes a lot of soul power. With his current total soul power, he can probably only use it three to four times in a row.
But that's enough.
Three or four times, at crucial moments, is enough to change the course of the battle.
Flander walked up to the large tree that had been shot down and examined the broken ends.
