Chapter 28 Reunion!
The wood in the cross-section was completely carbonized.
It appears as a burnt black color.
It crumbles into powder at the slightest touch.
This is the ultimate effect of burning with light.
It doesn't burn the surface.
Instead, it completely destroys the wooden structure from the inside.
"Not bad." Flander rarely gave a positive evaluation.
"This soul skill has great potential."
As your soul power increases.
The range, speed, and penetrating power of the light spear will continue to increase.
It has reached a higher level.
It's not impossible for a spear to pierce through the city wall.
Ma Hongjun kept Flander's words firmly in mind.
"Teacher, there's one more thing," he said.
"After absorbing this spirit ring."
I feel that—the Wings of Light have become stronger too.
"Give it a try."
Ma Hongjun activated his first spirit ring.
Pale golden wings of light unfurled behind him.
really.
The size of the light wings has changed.
The wingspan is almost half again as wide as before.
The light became even more intense.
The wings were no longer just a simple pale gold.
Instead, it is a pale golden-red.
It matches the color of his flames.
He exerted force with both legs.
The wings of light flapped.
He shot into the sky like an arrow.
The speed was so fast that even Flander narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ma Hongjun circled once in the air.
Feeling the changes in the wings of light.
Flights can now last longer.
Previously, I could only maintain full-speed flight for less than two minutes.
I feel like I can last at least three minutes now.
The flight altitude is now higher.
Previously, it could only fly up to about thirty meters high.
Now I can easily break the 50-meter mark.
It's faster now.
Previously, the speed in the air was about 50% faster than running.
It feels almost twice as fast now.
He swooped down.
It suddenly hovered less than a meter above the ground.
The airflow generated by the light wings scattered the fallen leaves on the ground.
"My first soul skill has also been enhanced." Ma Hongjun landed on the ground.
He couldn't hide his excitement.
"The Holy Light Falcon's soul ring has an amplifying effect on Wings of Light."
Flanders nodded.
"As expected."
Holy Light Falcon is the superior form of Holy Light Sparrow.
Soul rings of the same origin naturally have a mutually beneficial effect.
Your first soul skill originates from the Holy Light Sparrow.
The second soul skill originates from the Holy Light Collection.
They share the same origin.
Mutual reinforcement is normal.
He paused.
He added, "This is good news for you."
If you can find a higher-level light-type bird-type soul beast in the future...
The preceding soul skills will all be enhanced to varying degrees.
Ma Hongjun was overjoyed.
This means that his growth curve is not linear.
Instead, it is exponential.
Each time you obtain a Soul Ring of the same origin.
All the previous soul skills will benefit from this.
This is the true advantage of the Bright Phoenix Route.
"Alright, it's time to go back." Flander turned and walked out of the forest.
"Zhao Wuji and the others are still waiting for news."
You've got your second spirit ring sorted out.
We can have a nice meal tonight.
Ma Hongjun followed behind him.
Their steps were as light as if they were walking on clouds.
Golden-red flames danced in the palm of his hand.
The mark of light piercing through is engraved in the soul ring.
It can be released at any time.
First Soul Ring Enhancement.
The second spirit ring has been obtained.
Level 22.
Dual Soul Rings.
Great Soul Master.
Distance from his goal.
One step closer.
Ma Hongjun followed behind Flander, his steps light as if he were walking on clouds.
With the second spirit ring in hand, the mark of Light Piercing is engraved on the spirit ring, ready to be released at any time.
The first spirit ring was also strengthened, with the light wings becoming larger, faster, and longer-lasting.
More importantly, the martial spirit has changed.
It is no longer a round turkey, but has a hint of a phoenix.
They retraced their steps along the stream and walked for about half an hour before arriving at the meeting point they had agreed upon with Zhao Wuji.
A relatively open clearing in the woods.
Zhao Wuji and the others were already waiting there.
"Why did it take so long?"
Zhao Wuji stepped forward, his gaze falling on Ma Hongjun, then suddenly stopped. "Huh?"
He looked Ma Hongjun up and down, his gaze shifting from casual to serious.
"The color of this flame—"
Golden-red flames danced on Ma Hongjun's body, with a dark red base and gold making up more than 60% of the flames.
The flames were a dark red with only a few scattered gold patterns before we set off; the change was enormous.
"All done?" Zhao Wuji asked.
Flander nodded: "Eight hundred years for the Holy Light Falcon, a bit longer than expected, but Hongjun held on."
"Eight hundred years?" Zhao Wuji raised an eyebrow. "Eight hundred years for his second spirit ring? This kid's got a death wish?"
"He knows what he's doing," Flander said calmly.
Zhao Wuji glanced at Ma Hongjun but didn't say anything more.
From the very first day he arrived at Shrek, this kid displayed a composure far beyond his years. If Flander said he could do it, then he could.
Oscar peeked out from behind Zao Wou-Ki, his eyes sparkling.
"Hongjun! Let me see your second soul skill!"
Ma Hongjun did not refuse.
He walked to the center of the open space, raised his right hand, and his deep yellow second spirit ring lit up.
The golden-red flames suddenly surged higher, and the phoenix phantom behind them became clearer.
A long neck, outstretched wings, and forked tail feathers.
Although it was only for a moment, it was indeed the outline of a phoenix.
A golden light shot out from the palm.
The light spear traced a straight path in the air, moving at a speed that was almost impossible for the naked eye to perceive.
"boom!"
A tree as thick as a water bucket at the edge of the open space was pierced by a beam of light.
A hole the size of a fist appeared on the tree trunk, with charred edges and the wood completely carbonized.
Oscar's mouth dropped open.
Shao Xin's hand, holding the water glass, froze in mid-air.
Although Li Yusong and Lu Qibin had met before, a hint of amazement still flashed in their eyes when they saw him again.
Zhao Wuji walked to the tree that had been shot through, reached out and touched the edge of the charred hole, his fingertips covered in a layer of black charcoal ash.
"It has a burning effect," he judged. "And it's not just a surface burn; it destroys from the inside. If you're hit by this thing, the wound will never heal."
He turned around, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Ma Hongjun changed.
It wasn't the way I was looking at a junior, but the way I was looking at a true warrior.
"Kid, your attack has already injured a Soul Master."
Ma Hongjun was slightly taken aback.
Injured the Soul Master?
He is only level 22 now, while his opponent is a Soul Master of level 30 or above, a whole major realm apart.
Ordinary Great Soul Masters are basically powerless against Soul Venerables.
Zhao Wuji's words were the greatest affirmation of his second soul skill.
"However..." Zhao Wuji changed the subject, "You may be injured, but you're still far from winning. The Soul Master's total soul power is several times that of you, and his defense, speed, and reaction are all superior. Although your light spear has strong penetrating power, it's useless if it can't hit."
Ma Hongjun nodded, keeping Zhao Wuji's words firmly in mind.
"Alright, stop standing here." Flander said, "Hongjun's spirit ring is done. We'll camp on the outskirts of the forest tonight and head back first thing tomorrow morning."
