Huo Wu woke up not long after.
She rubbed her chest and found the bleeding had stopped.
Looking down, she saw the wound had completely healed, leaving no trace.
However, the golden flames had torn a hole, revealing the protruding skin.
"What are you looking at!"
Huo Wu scolded ,
quickly covering
herself with her hands. Ma Hongjun glanced at her, then looked away indifferently .
"Just a glance, why the fuss?"
He muttered to himself,
"I've already touched her, what's a couple more glances?"
Ma Hongjun thought back to himself; Huo Wu truly lived up to her name. No wonder she seemed so agitated when angry, and always looked tired when walking. She
was definitely not a woman Ma Hongjun could easily control. She
was comparable to Zhu Zhuqing!
Huo Wu seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Are you alright? Where's that golden crow?"
"Heh, only now you think of caring about me? Well, let me see it a couple more times!"
"Ma Hongjun, can you please stop being so shameless?"
Huo Wu spat.
Then she took out a fiery red robe from her spatial soul tool and draped it over her shoulders.
"Why are you dressed entirely in red!"
Ma Hongjun casually remarked.
"Mind your own business!" Huo
Wu retorted, suddenly stopping her hand as she adjusted her clothes.
"Entirely!"
she repeated to herself.
Because she was indeed dressed entirely in red, but some parts were not visible on the surface.
"Ma Hongjun, did you take advantage of me while I was unconscious..."
Huo Wu pointed at Ma Hongjun in shame and indignation, her chest heaving again.
Ma Hongjun immediately retorted; he couldn't make things up. If he really had, that would be one thing.
"Hey, don't accuse me of something. How long were you unconscious? In such a short time, even if I wanted to do something, it wouldn't be that fast."
"Who knows if you're that kind of person?"
Huo Wu said disdainfully!
"Fire Dance, you need to have evidence for your words. If you doubt me, I can prove it to you!"
"How do you want to prove it?"
"Prove I'm not that kind of person!"
"You scoundrel!"
"If you keep saying that, I really will be a scoundrel for you.
There are only the two of us in the Fire Domain right now. If I subdue you, you won't be able to resist."
Fire Dance glanced at Ma Hongjun fearfully. She was genuinely worried that Ma Hongjun would try to force himself on her.
She pulled her clothes tighter.
Although Fire Dance usually dressed generously and sexily, she was actually still afraid.
Of course, she also had expectations, otherwise she wouldn't have dressed so provocatively.
"Ma Hongjun, you can't do anything reckless."
"Alright, come with me now. I need you to protect me."
He led Fire Dance back to the Wutong Fire Spirit Tree. The corpse of the three-legged golden crow was under the tree, with a red soul ring floating above it.
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
Fire Dance was astonished. She looked at the three-legged golden crow on the ground, then at Ma Hongjun.
"You killed it?"
"Nonsense, otherwise you would have killed it."
Ma Hongjun sat down cross-legged.
"I'm going to absorb this spirit ring now. You protect me,"
Ma Hongjun instructed. However, remembering the misunderstanding earlier, he explained again, lest Huo Wu, being oblivious, actually think he had taken advantage of her in such a short time.
"When you were unconscious, you were lying on the ground. Your skirt was too short, so I accidentally saw it.
Also, look, this spirit ring is still there, proving you weren't unconscious for long. It will take me some time to heal you. So, like I said, even if I really wanted to do something to you, there simply isn't enough
time !" Huo Wu blushed. "Okay, I understand!" Ma Hongjun summoned his Fire Phoenix Martial Soul and began drawing the power of the Three-Legged Golden Crow's spirit ring into his body. Ma Hongjun already had a 100,000-year spirit ring, so Huo Wu wasn't surprised that he was absorbing this one.
Instead, she pondered how he had killed this 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Huo Wu took out the book introducing the Fire Domain.
After flipping through it for a while, she finally found information about the soul beast before her.
Three-Legged Golden Crow: An ultimate fire-attribute soul beast, born alongside the Wutong Fire Spirit Tree, possessing a special flame, golden flame.
...
This was Ma Hongjun's first real absorption of a 100,000-year soul ring.
Sure enough, this was much more difficult than when he absorbed the Wind Dragon.
Moreover, the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul was different from the Martial God Spear. The Martial God Spear could help absorb the power of the soul ring, while the Fire Phoenix's soul ring power needed to be withstood by itself. Fortunately,
after possessing so many soul bones, Ma Hongjun's physical strength had reached a very high level.
He could completely withstand the 100,000-year soul ring.
This was the power of twin martial souls; the power of both martial souls acted on one body.
Three hours later, the Three-Legged Golden Crow's soul ring was completely absorbed by Ma Hongjun.
His second martial soul, the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, finally had its first soul ring.
Starting with a 100,000-year spirit ring, not only was Huo Wu surprised, but Ma Hongjun also thought it was awesome.
If all the spirit rings in the future were red,
then revealing the second spirit ring would probably scare the enemy to death!
Suddenly, Ma Hongjun felt a heat in his lower abdomen.
The bones there seemed to be moving.
"A 100,000-year spirit beast will definitely produce a spirit bone."
Ma Hongjun suddenly realized this.
However,
"This seems to be another external spirit bone!"
The spirit bones absorbed along with the spirit ring were almost all external spirit bones.
Normally, the six spirit bones were all dropped by the corpses of spirit beasts.
"This..."
Ma Hongjun sensed the location of this external spirit bone and suddenly his face turned awkward.
This time he really became a true invincible golden spear!
He looked at the three-legged golden crow again.
Generally speaking, external spirit bones come from the most prominent and important part of a dead spirit beast.
And the three-legged golden crow was undoubtedly one.
"Three legs!"
Huo Wu looked at Ma Hongjun curiously. Ma Hongjun's face was flushed, and his expression was very unnatural. The soul ring had been absorbed, but Ma Hongjun hadn't gotten up yet and was still in a meditative state. She then
looked at the corpse of the three-legged golden crow.
Huo Wu examined the corpse, but still couldn't find a soul bone.
"Aren't 100,000-year-old soul beasts guaranteed to produce soul bones? How come this three-legged golden crow doesn't have one?"
Huo Wu wondered, then suddenly remembered the wind dragon wing bone Ma Hongjun had shown.
"Could it be an external soul bone?"
Huo Wu focused her gaze on Ma Hongjun, trying to find something different.
She carefully circled Ma Hongjun, but found nothing unusual.
Puzzled, Huo Wu squatted down in front of Ma Hongjun.
As soon as she squatted down, she noticed something unusual.
At the center of the triangle formed by Ma Hongjun's cross-legged posture, a faint golden light was appearing.
A tent was being erected.
Huo Wu's face flushed, and her ears burned. She suddenly understood.
"This is insane, you can actually absorb soul bones in a place like this,"
Huo Wu muttered under her breath.
At that moment, Ma Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes.
He said calmly,
"Cartilage is still bone!"
