Chapter 53: What Can't Be Said Face to Face?
A small stall was surrounded by a group of young Soul Masters, while the stall owner had long fled far away.
Back at the scene, Dai Mubai knelt there, his knees likely swollen, but no one paid him any attention.
He didn't dare get up, but staying down also hurt his pride.
Just as Dai Mubai was battling his inner turmoil, Kong seemed to finally remember him.
"Brother Tianheng, aren't you here for some training? This guy's Soul Power level is thirty-seven, a strong attack-type Battle Soul Master. He should meet your training requirements, right?" Kong pointed at the kneeling Dai Mubai, who didn't even dare to lift his head.
"He has thirty-seven Soul Power?" Before Yu Tianheng could respond, Yufeng spoke in disbelief.
A dignified Soul Elder, with not a scratch on him, kneeling here? Not just any Soul Elder, but one with a Soul Power level of thirty-seven! Dai Mubai thought, If our roles were reversed, you'd understand why!
Not only Yufeng, but other members of the Huangdou Battle Team didn't believe it either.
Some of their Soul Powers weren't even as high as Dai Mubai's.
Kong, seeing this, didn't get angry. He walked over to Dai Mubai and kicked him. "Aren't you going to release your martial soul to prove it?"
Hearing this and seeing Kong's actions, Dai Mubai's anger exploded. This was sheer humiliation!
A man can be killed, but not humiliated!
After a moment of thought, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and ultimately gave in.
He stood up shakily, his legs numb from kneeling too long.
"Why are you standing up? Do you need to stand to release your martial soul?" Kong asked puzzledly.
To everyone, his words sounded like the devil's whisper.
Even the members of the Huangdou Battle Team looked shocked, glancing at Yu Tianheng, then at Kong, as if saying, Is your young sect master a demon?
Under their shocked gazes, Dai Mubai knelt down again, his face expressionless. The weak had no room for resistance.
He wanted to live; only by living could he have hope, only by living could he possibly retaliate against this demon!
"White Tiger Possession!"
As Dai Mubai's martial soul possessed him, his body instantly swelled, his golden hair turning white, and three horizontal lines and one vertical line appeared on his forehead...
Two yellow and one purple soul rings appeared on him, unleashing the aura of a Soul Elder, proving to everyone that he indeed was a Soul Elder-level expert.
Yufeng and the others fell silent, as did Yu Tianheng.
Why would such a promising young man end up like this? They couldn't imagine it!
"Dai Mubai, even if you tried to sneak attack me now, even if you failed, I'd respect you as a real man." Kong shook his head and said disdainfully.
Dai Mubai clenched his fists, almost grinding his molars to powder, his eyes bloodshot. "I can't beat you, I just want to live!"
"Have you ever thought that she just wants to live too?"
"What does that have to do with me!" Dai Mubai said, head down, avoiding looking at Zhu Zhuqing whom Kong pointed at.
"You don't understand my despair at all. You're a peerless genius, a monster. For people like you, cultivating might be easier than eating or drinking."
"I'm different. I have some talent, but that person's talent is similar to mine. The crucial thing is, he's six years older than me!"
"A six-year gap can't be bridged by effort."
Kong fell silent. He wasn't Dai Mubai's life mentor, and had no obligation to teach Dai Mubai how to live his life.
He was just planning to beat this guy up.
"Anyway, it's death either way, so why not give it a try?"
Dai Mubai: "..."
He didn't want to die, so why try?
"Get lost. Hitting someone without a warrior's heart would only dirty my hands," Kong said indifferently.
Initially, he wanted Yu Tianheng and the others to teach Dai Mubai a lesson, but on second thought, he decided against it. Dai Mubai was nearly a broken man. Hurting him wouldn't be as effective as attacking his spirit.
Hearing these words, Dai Mubai's face lit up with joy. He hurriedly rolled away on the ground. He had experience with this!
Everyone fell silent again.
After Dai Mubai rolled away, Ma Hongjun looked at Kong with hopeful eyes, saying, "Brother, I, I..."
He was afraid Kong would forget about him! He needed to find a solution for his evil fire problem. Right now, he could still manage it in a certain way, but what about in the future? As his Soul Power level increased, his fate would be bleak!
Hearing Ma Hongjun's voice, everyone realized there was another chubby guy kneeling there. From his look of joy, he didn't seem to be in the same situation as Dai Mubai.
"You?" Kong nodded. He had previously mentioned that after dealing with Dai Mubai, he would see if he needed to tell Ma Hongjun the solution for his evil fire problem.
"The solution to the evil fire is simple..." Kong glanced at Dugu Yan and the others present, then walked over to Ma Hongjun and whispered, "..."
Ma Hongjun's expression went from joy to confusion to horror in just a few seconds. His face turned deathly pale, but he couldn't refute Kong's words.
"B-Brother..." Ma Hongjun was almost in tears. The Ma family had only one heir for three generations! If he used this method, the Ma family would end with him!
"If you don't use this method, you could also cripple your martial soul, and your evil fire problem would be resolved."
Cripple his martial soul? That was worse than killing him! The martial soul was the lifeblood of a Soul Master!
"What's more important, your life or that other thing? Think it over yourself. Of course, you should inform your teacher Flander, so you don't end up cursing me in the future."
Kong shrugged, looking indifferent.
Both methods could solve Ma Hongjun's problem.
The first method, crippling the martial soul, would effectively ruin Ma Hongjun. A Soul Master's power largely depended on their martial soul. Crippling it was equivalent to ruining the person.
The second method involved removing the offending tool. Without it, Ma Hongjun's yang energy would dissipate, and he wouldn't be affected by the evil fire. His cultivation speed might even improve.
"B-Brother, is there any other way?" Ma Hongjun asked, face full of despair.
"Yes, of course there is! But I won't tell you!" Kong thought to himself. Shaking his head, he said, "No, there isn't. Think it over. If you don't resolve this, after you reach level forty, you'll either be burned to death by the evil fire or..."
He didn't finish his sentence. Even if he did, Ma Hongjun wouldn't understand at this point.
If Ma Hongjun didn't resolve his evil fire issue, he would definitely become a fallen soul master, the kind that existed in the thousands of years ahead.
This wasn't a time when fallen soul masters were everywhere. If Ma Hongjun became one, he'd be hunted down by the Spirit Hall, suppressed, and the best outcome would be being sent to the City of Slaughter.
In most cases, he'd be killed on the spot.
Ma Hongjun knew Kong's words weren't alarmist. He was well aware of his own situation, which was why he was desperately seeking a solution.
Flander had predicted that Ma Hongjun's evil fire would only erupt when he reached level seventy as a Soul Sage. But Flander wasn't specialized in this!
According to Flander, Ma Hongjun could reach Soul Sage using that method, but other issues were beyond his foresight.
"What are you two talking about? Is there something you can't say in front of everyone?"
Kong and Ma Hongjun: "..."
