Chapter 69: Phoenix Rising from the Ashes, Punishment and Training.

At this time, in the center of the field.

Xuan Mo controlled the giant object that was like a meteorite and slowly pressed it down towards Ma Hongjun below.

Looking at Ma Hongjun under the giant object, Xuan Mo knew in his heart that his attack seemed to be very powerful on the surface.

In fact, as Flender said, Xuan Mo did not use his full strength in this attack. He just wanted to use it to force Ma Hongjun.

"Fatty, take it!"

The giant object rose in the sky and slowly crushed towards Ma Hongjun under the pressure of Xuan Mo's third soul skill, Heavy Rock.

For a moment, within the range of gravity's squeezing and locking, Ma Hongjun could not dodge at all and could only choose to resist.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun stared intently at the giant in the sky and grinned, "Brother Mo, don't underestimate me! Come on!"

Suddenly, a powerful aura rose from Ma Hongjun's body. A purple-red evil fire emanated an unbearable scorching heat, causing the surrounding air to visibly distort.

Then, Ma Hongjun's second spirit ring lit up, activating his spirit skill, "Nirvana Phoenix." Immediately following, his first spirit ring lit up, activating his spirit skill, "Phoenix Fireline." Both of these spirit skills were under Ma Hongjun's control, swirling around him and further intensifying his aura.

In the next moment,

"Bath of Fire! Phoenix!"

Ma Hongjun roared, and a captivating phantom of a fire phoenix slowly emerged behind him. Enormous flaming wings stretched across Ma Hongjun's body, their flaming wings spreading slightly, as if poised to soar into the heavens at any moment!

Xuan Mo's lips curled up at the sight. Then, the third spirit ring's light shone even brighter, and even the first spirit ring lit up, coating the giant's purple light with a thick, earthy-yellow barrier.

"Self-created spirit skill, Phoenix Rising from the Ashes!"

"Clang clang clang!"

With a low cry from Ma Hongjun, the phantom of the fire phoenix behind him moved. After a burst of phoenix-like melodies, its wings spread out, and like a meteor sword on the ground, it pierced through Xuan Mo's incoming attack!

"Holy crap! Boss Dai, this attack of Fatty's is already as good as yours, isn't it!?" Oscar, who was watching the fight from the sidelines, swallowed hard at the sight, turned to look at Dai Mubai, and asked with difficulty.

Dai Mubai was staring in horror at Ma Hongjun, who had transformed into a fire phoenix, with a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

Upon hearing Oscar's words, a hint of embarrassment filled his eyes. "Ahem! Haha, that's probably about right." Unexpectedly, as soon as he uttered these words, Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing next to Dai Mubai, suddenly looked at him with disdain. "You, even with all your might, you still can't unleash it."

With that, he turned and walked aside.

"Zhuqing, I..."

Before Dai Mubai could finish, the master fixed his gaze on Ma Hongjun and said, "Zhu Zhuqing is right. The little fat man's explosive power surpasses all of you. With the exception of Xuan Mo, I'm afraid no one among you could unleash the power of this attack."

No one objected to the master's words. Even Flanders agreed.

"It seems that after three months of hard work, the little fat man will be able to break through to level 30. That's good, just in time."

Meanwhile, "Haha! Fatty, come on!"

Xuan Mo laughed heartily, and the mid-air giant swooped down, colliding with Ma Hongjun's Phoenix of Fire!

Amidst a deafening roar, flames erupted, rubble, wood chips, and other objects flew everywhere, but Xuan Mo's figure remained erect amid the dust.

As for Ma Hongjun, the phoenix behind him had dissipated, leaving only a trace of purple-red flames swirling around him. Ma Hongjun's face was pale, and even his lips were a little pale.

"Brother Mo, it looks like we're going to lose again," Ma Hongjun said hoarsely, looking at Xuan Mo.

"How can we know who will win or lose until the last moment?"

Xuan Mo looked at Ma Hongjun quietly, wanting to know what decision he would make next.

"Okay! Come on!"

With that, Ma Hongjun's body once again ignited with purple-red flames, charging directly at Xuan Mo. Although he knew the effect of Xuan Mo's third soul skill, he had no choice. To defeat Xuan Mo, he could only rely on the explosive power of the phoenix flames when he got close.

Xuan Mo saw this and grinned. He knew that, aside from his spirit flaws and personality, the current Ma Hongjun was a completely different person from the original Ma Hongjun.

Xuan Mo then didn't make any further moves. He simply activated his second spirit ring, activated his Taotie battle form, and charged forward, his right fist clenched, smashing down fiercely at Ma Hongjun.

  ...

"Although you two performed well in this competition, you still lost this one."

The master looked at Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun standing before him. As expected, his expression was not pleasant at all.

Just now, after the two had decided the winner, Ma Hongjun had also temporarily fainted due to exhaustion of spirit power.

Unfortunately, this pressure had caused him to break through a bottleneck, promising a breakthrough within three months.

However, even so, he would still be punished. Of course, it wasn't just Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun.

Because long before, the master had criticized everyone except Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

The master's frozen face turned grim, and then he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Is this what you call a freak genius? Your performance today has disappointed me! Each of you has made unforgivable mistakes. Given your actions, you must face severe punishment!"

Naturally, no one, including Xuan Mo, challenged the master's admonition.

The others had to admit that the master's words made sense. As for Xuan Mo, he ignored them. He knew that this punishment would still come, no matter how well they performed.

"Everyone, gather at the village entrance now!" the master shouted sharply, then turned and headed towards the village entrance.

Everyone exchanged glances and followed at the village entrance.

When Xuan Mo and the others arrived, they saw eight baskets clearly placed there.

Each basket contained a number of large stones, though the amount in each basket varied.

However, the basket labeled with Xuan Mo's name weighed incomparably more than the others.

Seeing everyone had arrived, the Grandmaster calmly pointed to the eight baskets at the village entrance and declared without question, "Everyone has their own basket; these count as weight. You cannot use spirit power while running. Start from here and make ten round trips to Soto City! If anyone doesn't make it back, no one will eat!"

Then, the Grandmaster turned his gaze to Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun. "Xuan Mo, Ma Hongjun, you two are going too far, so you will run twelve round trips. Everyone, start immediately."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Xiao Wu objected. But before Xiao Wu could finish, Tang San grabbed her and pointed at Zhu Zhuqing, who was carrying a basket.

The meaning was self-evident...

After Xuan Mo loaded his basket, he waited for everyone else to finish theirs before setting off together.

Honestly, running ten rounds with a weight, without the use of spirit power allowed, left even those as formidable as Xuan Mo half-dead after helping Ning Rongrong and Oscar shoulder some of the load.

Oscar, after handing the weight to Tang San, managed to hold on through sheer willpower.

As for Ning Rongrong, she fainted at the start of the tenth round.

Seeing this, Xuan Mo didn't hesitate and carried her on his back, slinging his own weight across his chest while handing Ning Rongrong's to Ma Hongjun.

Everyone collapsed at the finish line.

Xuan Mo, the strongest, didn't faint, but he was shaky, barely able to lift a hand.

Then, everyone was stripped naked by the teachers or village women who had been waiting for them and thrown into a bathtub for a medicinal bath.

Even Xuan Mo had no chance of resisting.

For the next three months, training like this continued almost daily...
