----------------------------------------------------------------

Despite the closed door, heat escaped through the crack. Oscar touched his scorched cheeks, clutching the jade box tightly as he hurriedly left the dormitory.

There was no time for hesitation or useless talk here. It was best to follow the fatty's suggestion and go straight to the dean. The sooner he found the dean, the less danger the fatty would be in.

Glancing at the jade box in his hand, Oscar quickened his pace. Any complaints he had about Ma Hongjun's trickery and his own worship of the boss had vanished completely. Although he didn't know what the jade box contained, it had the same style as the one held by the fatty, indicating that its contents must be extremely valuable.

Would it be alright if he give this to him? Oscar knew that Ma Hongjun and Lu Yuan had a much closer relationship than Lu Yuan did with himself. However, even so, the boss he had just worshipped hadn't forgotten about him after obtaining a treasure.

Suppressing the emotions welling up within him, Oscar understood that now was not the time to be moved by his own feelings. He hurried towards the attic where Flender and Zao Wuji were located.

If he arrived a moment too late, the fatty would truly become a roasted chicken. Oscar had every reason to be grateful.

Shrek Academy's grounds weren't that extensive at present. Flender also expressed his gratitude. When he reached the scene, the situation was still under control. A wave of heat enveloped the area.

With a wave of Flender's hand, his formidable soul power dissipated the surging heat, revealing Ma Hongjun sitting in the center of the room. Ma Hongjun was cross-legged, his breath held, and a pained expression occasionally flashed across his face. And this was only the beginning!

Flender knew that the further one progressed in absorbing something, the more difficult it became. Similarly, when something went wrong, it often happened when success was just a step away.

Shortly after, Zhao Wuji rushed over, his brow furrowed as he asked, "What's going on? Is it an eruption of evil fire? But from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it! Moreover, an eruption of evil fire occurs within the body, not outside. It should be similar to anger and heartfire, invisible and intangible negative emotions."

Now it was clear. Aside from a few metal objects in the room, everything else was ablaze, engulfed in a sea of flames. The wooden doors had all been consumed by fire. Could it be that the evil fire had evolved?

Retracting his gaze, Flender adjusted his rigid black-rimmed glasses, his eyes revealing a hint of concern as he calmly said, "It's nothing. This kid is going through a transformation period. If he succeeds, perhaps he can truly resolve the issue of the evil fire plaguing him."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Zhao Wuji blurted out, then seemed to recall something and asked tentatively, "Is there any danger?"

Oscar, despite being in a hurry, didn't lose his sense of proportion. He had already explained the details of the situation to Flender on the way back. Although Flender was uncertain, he couldn't help but feel anxious. Suppressing the turbulent anxiety within him,

Flender pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "There must be some danger, but at this moment, we, as teachers, have to trust him. After all, he is my direct disciple.."

Just as Yu Xiaogang cared for Tang San, the only disciple he had personally mentored, Flender had devoted countless efforts to Ma Hongjun.

It was no exaggeration to say that Ma Hongjun was his successor. No matter how many beatings or scoldings he received, Flender would never stand idly by if anything happened to Ma Hongjun. But for now, the situation hadn't reached that point. Judging by Ma Hongjun's appearance, he could hold on for a while. At least during this period, they could relax a little.

Dragging Oscar aside, Zhao Wuji and Oscar whispered to each other for a while and finally understood what had happened. It originated from Flender's anxious mood.

As a fellow soul master who couldn't fly straight to the scene, Zao Wuji was left behind. Hence, besides the two sentences Oscar had uttered upon entering, Zao Wuji remained completely in the dark. It was normal for him to be unclear about what had happened.

The high-pitched cry of a phoenix mixed with indescribable pain echoed through the room, accompanied by a touch of sorrow. Suddenly, red flames ignited on the body of the evil fire phoenix. Ma Hongjun also bore burn marks on his body, with large blisters forming on his chest.

The fiery apricot plant hovered in the air, emitting strands of red light that continuously absorbed into Ma Hongjun's body. The wielder of the fire attribute martial soul was being burned. It wasn't that such a thing couldn't happen; it was simply outrageous. Especially when the item burning him wasn't a powerful soul beast, but a medicinal herb. This level of absurdity was magnified countless times.

However, to Flender and the others, Since most soul masters, including them, had never encountered such fairy grass before,

the intensity of the red light continued to grow.

A strong aroma of meat filled the air.

Ma Hongjun could no longer control his facial expression because...

his facial fat had been burnt!

Oscar, standing outside the door, gagged briefly before rushing out of the boys' dormitory with his hand covering his mouth.

Unaware of how far he had run, Oscar subconsciously leaned against a tree trunk and vomited out the breakfast he had eaten that morning with a loud "wow."

He couldn't gauge the amount he had vomited, he just felt dizzy.

Feeling exhausted, he found a clean spot to sit on the side and struggled to regain control, trying to forget what he had just witnessed.

It was horrifying!

It tested his psychological defenses to the extreme!

The "gamble with your life" mentioned in the co-authored letter was no laughing matter!

If they lost this bet, would there be no chance for regret?

Would they be turned into roast chicken in an instant?

As if remembering something terrible again, Oscar gagged, raised his expressionless face, and looked towards the sky.

He couldn't think anymore!

He truly couldn't think anymore!

However, Oscar, lost in his thoughts in the sky, didn't notice a beautiful figure extending a small hand and slapping him in disgust before quietly leaving.

"It's getting more and more interesting," she murmured.

The petite and adorable princess shoes made a rhythmic knocking sound on the road, creating an intriguing atmosphere. The eccentric Ning Rongrong wore a pensive expression.

Early in the morning, Xiao Wu was caught acting suspiciously.

As Xiao Wu began to walk back, the two jade boxes in her hands vanished.

Then, nothing happened.

But soon, Flender and Zao Wou-ki arrived.

Finally, the scruffy-faced Oscar rushed out and vomited.

Even after vomiting like that, he still tightly held the jade boxes in his hand.

It seemed quite suspicious!

By normal standards, she should have focused on the jade boxes first because everything was connected to them.

It was a shame that Ning Rongrong never followed the normal routine.

"Little girl, I want to see what else you're hiding from me!"

This faint whisper quickly dissipated in the wind.

However, in the boys' dormitory, a high-pitched and loud phoenix cry sounded, and Flender actively suppressed it to prevent the sound from spreading.

There was no more pain, no more tragedy.

With formidable power and extreme flames, the evil fire phoenix completed its final stage, transforming into a crimson light curtain that enveloped the charred and blackened Ma Hongjun.

Layers of red light curtains overlapped repeatedly, slowly forming a substantial, giant eggshell!

Unfortunately, the eggshell was incomplete.

It had no bottom and perfectly melded with the ground.

Strands of flames were absorbed, converted into energy, and continuously filled the blackened body.

It had slept in darkness for a long time.

When it opened its eyes again, the scorched black body fell away, and Ma Hongjun instinctively sat up.

With a subtle cracking sound, the original body turned to ashes, along with the red eggshell that shattered into fragments, carried away by the wind.

Staring blankly at Master and Teacher Zhao outside the door, Ma Hongjun seemed to have realized something and tremblingly summoned his martial soul.

Although he had repeated the action thousands of times before, at that moment it felt somewhat awkward.

When a loud and clear phoenix cry resounded, Ma Hongjun felt as if he had been struck by lightning, unable to recover for a long time.

After a while, Ma Hongjun, who had managed to regain his composure, slowly turned his head and looked behind him.

A colossal phantom of a nine-headed fire phoenix loomed behind him!

This was not a mere fire phoenix.

It was the nine-headed fire phoenix, even more powerful than the fire phoenix!

An existence born with the Ultimate Fire's immense power!

Unable to find words to express his excitement, Ma Hongjun could only sit there blankly and giggle, completely oblivious to anything amiss with his body.

"How shameless!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Flender pulled a suit of clothes out of a soul guide with a stern face and threw it over; he scolded sternly and dragged Zhao Wuji, who was enjoying the spectacle, out of the dormitory.

It was fine if his disciple Ma Hongjun didn't notice anything, but you, Zhao Wuji, a grown man, have you never seen anything like it?

And to laugh so maliciously?

Dazedly looking at the clothes in his hand, Ma Hongjun realized...

In short, after dressing as quickly as possible, he discovered another surprising fact: he had lost weight!

Every fat man is a hidden gem.

He looked at his sharper face and then at his fit and muscular body.

Amidst the dilapidated room, stifled laughter filled the air.

Ah Choo! Ah Choo! Ah Choo!

Xiao Wu sneezed three times in a row, rubbing her little nose in a daze, silently cursing a certain demon.
