Chapter 12: Cliffhanger

After examining for a while, Gu Yi pondered for a moment and did not immediately give an answer.

"I still need to think it over, but I can help him suppress the evil fire in his body for now." Flender was overjoyed. Ma Hongjun was his intended disciple. If he spent all his time in the red-light district, wouldn't it be too wasteful?

"Let's get started quickly," Flender urged. Gu Yi nodded and placed his hand on Ma Hongjun's shoulder. Ma Hongjun, as the person involved, suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, with an extremely cold force entering his body. Gu Yi's hand remained on Ma Hongjun's body for a few minutes, until he temporarily suppressed the evil fire in his body before withdrawing his hand.

"It's done. There won't be any problems before absorbing the spirit ring. I need to think about his situation," Gu Yi said to the dean.

"You have to put in more effort to help him, as he is your junior brother," Flender said happily. He was surprised that Gu Yi had grown to this extent. Just now, it was definitely a cold spirit power he had sensed. Flender couldn't understand one thing: Gu Yi's meridians and martial spirit didn't carry any cold attributes, so why did the spirit power behave so strangely? After Flender left, Gu Yi began to contemplate Ma Hongjun's situation.

Although the evil fire was a side effect of his martial spirit, this power had been present in his body since the day his martial spirit awakened. Even if the evil fire in his body was temporarily removed... If his martial spirit didn't change, Ma Hongjun would still fall into the disturbance of the evil fire again and become a Evil Fire Phoenix. Unless he was given a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to completely eliminate the evil fire and complete the mutation of his martial spirit. But he couldn't get the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower herb now, and besides, Gu Yi didn't think it was the best solution.

Over the years, in addition to studying meridians, he had also delved deeply into the martial spirts of this world. Martial spirits were just as magical as human meridians. If Ma Hongjun's martial spirit completed its mutation, he would become a Phoenix soaring in the sky, the king of birds. Although the Evil Phoenix was an incomplete mutation, it still produced extra flames like the evil fire. These flames were not simple. Not only could they make Ma Hongjun use fire, but also keeps him body healthly. This was not just a simple side effect.

In fact, he had long considered Ma Hongjun's situation and even created a martial arts technique. When Flender brought Ma Hongjun, he didn't mention it, not because he didn't want to pass it on to Ma Hongjun. He wanted to test his perseverance and willpower. This martial arts technique required extremely strong willpower to operate. If one couldn't hold on, they might burn to death. Moreover, this martial arts technique was created with great effort by him, and naturally he didn't want to let it fall into the hands of someone unworthy.

In the original work, it was because he wasn't diligent enough, wasting his own talent, that he couldn't obtain the position of Fire God, leading to a lonely life.

Living a life of regrets.

.....

"Dean, who was that person just now? Just by placing his hand on my shoulder, the burning sensation all over my body disappeared," Ma Hongjun asked curiously. This was the most relaxed moment since his martial spirit awakened. Hearing Ma Hongjun's question, Flender looked up at the sky, then said the words that he would remember for the rest of his life.

"He is the strongest genius ever in history, a monster I have never seen before. He will definitely take Shrek to places it has never been before."

.....

The next day.

Gu Yi found Ma Hongjun who was practicing diligently. He wasn't born with full spirit power, but with a spirit power level of Rank 9.

"To solve the problem with your martial spirit, come with me," Gu Yi said, leaving behind these words before turning and leaving. Ma Hongjun quickly got up and followed. The dean's words echoed in his mind.

Before long, Gu Yi led Ma Hongjun up a mountain.

"It seems you've already started practicing Pure Yuan Gong?" Gu Yi asked. Ma Hongjun nodded hurriedly. His martial spirit was awakened by Flender, with no background or influence behind him. Flender hadn't taught him meditation but rather a training method he had never heard of before.

"Considering the situation of your martial spirit, I've come up with a solution, starting from two points. First, the absorption of spirit rings. From now on, you must absorb spirit rings spirit beasts containing the bloodline of the phoenix, and they must be of the fire attribute, to purify your martial spirit. Second, changing the method of cultivation. Pure Yuan Gong is just a moderate and peaceful method, and although the spirit power cultivated from it is rich and gentle, it doesn't have much effect on the evil fire inside you. Changing the method of cultivation is imperative, and luckily, I have a method suitable for you to cultivate. Are you interested in learning?" Ma Hongjun nodded frantically.

Flender had already told him that the Pure Yuan Gong he was currently practicing was created by the person in front of him, so listening to him was definitely right.

Gu Yi smiled at him and said, "But learning my technique is not that simple. Even if you are the dean's disciple, I won't easily teach it to you." Hearing Gu Yi's words, Ma Hongjun was stunned, remembering the trade transactions in the village, he lowered his head and said, "I don't have money. Can you wait until I become a spirit master and receive the spirit master subsidy before discussing the tuition fee?"

Gu Yi couldn't help but laugh. He was a proud man and wouldn't waste his efforts because of some money. "There are things that money cannot compare with. Like your courage, willpower, or determination to become stronger."

"Oh." Ma Hongjun was a bit puzzled, but then he heard Gu Yi's voice again.

"Are you ready? The first test begins."

As Gu Yi spoke, he pushed him off the cliff with force.

"Ah..."

A long scream echoed from below the cliff.

After doing all this, Gu Yi turned around and looked at a certain place behind him, grinning, "Dean, aren't you coming out yet?" As soon as he finished speaking, a figure emerged from a tree.

"How did you find me?" Flender thought he had hidden himself well enough, but how did Gu Yi, a Spirit Grandmaster, discover him? It was becoming more and more mysterious.

"Of course, I saw you," Gu Yi said with a faint smile.

"What are you planning to do?"

Flender looked at the rope in Gu Yi's hand, then at the cliff. "You heard it yourself, to learn my technique, you must pass the test. If he doesn't have the courage to face death, he won't be able to learn this technique."

"Be careful, don't let anything happen to my hard-to-find disciple," Flender warned anxiously.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Besides, don't we have you, the dean?" Gu Yi shrugged nonchalantly.
