. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Only
Ma Hongjun and Tang San remained.
After Dugu Bo left, Ma Hongjun could no longer control the power of his martial soul.
Not only the Dragon Soul Spear, but even the Fire Phoenix martial soul surged uncontrollably within him.
Ma Hongjun was instantly enveloped in purple flames, his seven-colored wings unfurled, and even his red hair turned seven-colored.
Golden dragon souls coiled around the Dragon Soul Spear.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun's entire body shimmered with various colors of light.
Tang San had gone from surprise to astonishment; Ma Hongjun's transformation left him completely bewildered.
Just moments ago, he was perfectly fine, and suddenly he was glowing.
The next change stunned Tang San even more. Ma Hongjun's seven-colored wings flapped, and he flew directly into the spring.
"Hongjun!"
Tang San shouted. The Ice and Fire Spring, half hot and half cold.
Extremely cold Yin Spring and extremely hot Yang Spring.
Ultimate ice and ultimate fire—things even Title Douluo dared not touch.
But at this moment,
Ma Hongjun fell right at the confluence of the two springs.
The spring water turned into mist and rose, a golden dragon shadow on the left and a seven-colored phoenix on the right.
The roars of the dragon and the cries of the phoenix
echoed through the valley.
At this moment, Tang San could see the golden dragon shadow, because it was becoming increasingly solidified within the energy of the spring water.
The dragon shadow, which had become illusory after awakening the Grandmaster's Martial Soul, was now recovering.
Besides the roars of the dragon and the cries of the phoenix, there was only Ma Hongjun's scream.
Ma Hongjun's body was out of control; his Martial Soul, before the dual nature of ice and fire, had become extremely thirsty, and he had no control over his body.
Intense heat and freezing cold collided alternately within his body.
For the first time, Ma Hongjun felt that the dual nature of ice and fire was not as comfortable as he had imagined.
If the dual nature of ice and fire before was like being in ecstasy, then the dual nature of ice and fire now was worse than death.
Fortunately, the light of the dragon and phoenix enveloped Ma Hongjun, preventing him from dying instantly.
However, these two forces were far too extreme and domineering. Ma Hongjun felt he wouldn't be able to withstand it and would explode.
From Tang San's perspective, the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was truly auspicious, as the name suggests.
However, Ma Hongjun, enveloped by the dragon and phoenix, didn't seem to be doing well. His
face was contorted with pain.
Tang San roughly understood what was happening: the ice and fire forces were fused into his martial soul, but his body seemed unable to withstand it.
Tang San scanned the surrounding herbs, focusing his attention on the immortal herbs.
To save Ma Hongjun, only immortal-grade herbs were needed; other herbs simply couldn't withstand the energy surge from the Ice and Fire Spring.
Being in the spring, he needed to consume immortal herbs with both ice and fire attributes together to neutralize and refine this energy.
"Eight-Cornered Ice Grass!"
"Blazing Apricot Blossom!"
Tang San's gaze immediately locked onto these two immortal herbs. These two immortal herbs grew in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and were supreme immortal treasures.
Simultaneously refining these two immortal herbs could qualitatively improve his body, granting him immunity to ice and fire, and resistance to poison. This was because, besides their extreme ice and fire attributes, they also possessed strong toxicity.
However, Tang San shook his head; these two immortal herbs were not suitable for Ma Hongjun. Putting aside everything else, their inherent toxicity alone might be beyond Ma Hongjun's control.
He searched again.
There were many immortal herbs here, but time was of the essence, so Tang San quickly scanned them.
"Found them!"
Tang San exclaimed with delight, looking at a crystal-white lotus on his right, with a miniature dragon forming a lotus platform in its center.
"Dragon Soul Ice Heart Lotus."
On the other side, there was a sunflower shaped like a rooster's comb.
"Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower."
One dragon, one phoenix; one ice, one fire.
There were no immortal herbs more suitable for Ma Hongjun than these two.
Without hesitation, Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass, picking up the two immortal herbs from either side.
"Hongjun, here, eat and refine them."
Ma Hongjun, seeing the two herbs flying towards him, quickly used his soul power to guide them.
Without time to judge or think, Ma Hongjun swallowed the two immortal herbs whole.
After consuming them, Ma Hongjun experienced even greater pain, as the energy transformed from the herbs clashed wildly within his body.
He quickly tried to control these two energies by circulating the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sutra.
The two immortal herbs were indeed very suitable for Ma Hongjun, perfectly compatible with his two martial souls, under the influence of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sutra.
The power of the martial soul, the power of the Ice and Fire Spring, and the power of the two immortal herbs were completely fused together.
In fact, once herbs reach the immortal level, it's difficult to categorize them further. Although there might be differences in medicinal power and attributes, the most important thing is the compatibility between the immortal herb and the person.
Like the two immortal herbs Ma Hongjun is currently fusing with, if given to Tang San, even if Tang San could absorb them, their effects would be greatly weakened .
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom are more suitable for Tang San because they inherently possess poisonous attributes, while ice and fire attributes can be mutually absorbed.
With the two immortal herbs acting as a harmonizer, Ma Hongjun's pain was significantly reduced.
As his condition gradually stabilized, the two martial souls also gradually sublimated.
The dragon soul within the Dragon Soul Spear became increasingly solid, looking just like Grandmaster's Five-Clawed Golden Dragon martial soul. Ma Hongjun could feel the changes in the Dragon Soul Spear.
It could be said that the previous Dragon Soul Spear was formless and lacked spirit, while the current Dragon Soul Spear possessed both form and spirit.
Ma Hongjun had always speculated about the Dragon Soul Spear martial soul; there was no doubt that it was a powerful martial soul, but its previously displayed power had not been as strong as imagined.
In terms of sheer power, the Dragon Soul Spear might not even be as strong as Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer. After all, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, even without any spirit rings, could still cause Zhao Wuji to suffer, while Ma Hongjun's Dragon Soul Spear, even with three spirit rings, couldn't harm Zhao Wuji.
Ma Hongjun surmised that the Dragon Soul Spear's previous time travel with him must have consumed some of its essence, causing it to weaken.
Therefore, the Dragon Soul Spear needed to absorb energy to recover, essentially undergoing a growth process.
And now, this should be the Dragon Soul Spear's true form. Even if it hasn't reached its final form yet, after being tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, its quality must have reached a new level.
Now, the Clear Sky Hammer's position can change hands.
Although they haven't sparred yet, Ma Hongjun felt that the Dragon Soul Spear's power now definitely surpassed the Clear Sky Hammer, and by a significant margin.
Besides the changes in the Dragon Soul Spear, another spirit, the Fire Phoenix spirit, also completely mutated. The flames became purer.
Most importantly, the power of these flames not only became stronger but could also be controlled autonomously, no longer erupting uncontrollably.
It's like the rhythm used to be chaotic, the fire erupting at will. Now the flames are tamed; Ma Hongjun can make them erupt whenever he wants.
Finally, he no longer has to act irrationally and confusedly because of the fire.
Now he has control, and the rhythm is completely his own.
It's a bit fast; finally, he can experience it in detail.
When he has absorbed enough energy and his body is in a saturated state, Ma Hongjun flaps his wings and flies out.
However, because the power in his body was too domineering, even with the power of his martial soul protecting him, his fragile clothes simply couldn't withstand the extreme temperature. Even a slight touch would turn his clothes to ashes.
So now, Ma Hongjun is completely naked except for a belt, the silent sleeve arrows on his arms, and the tightly wrapped crossbow on his back.
Tang San was about to greet Ma Hongjun, but seeing Ma Hongjun like this, he couldn't help but blush.
Suppressing his shame, Tang San asked...
"Hongjun, are you alright?"
Ma Hongjun walked over casually, confident in his abilities.
Two grown men, both having shared a bathhouse—it was no big deal. Ma Hongjun was never one to be bothered by trivialities.
"I'm fine.
What's wrong, Xiao San? Why are you blushing? Just consider it repaying the two glances I gave you back in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but laugh. Tang San was truly pure and innocent, so shy.
Now, only the two brothers were in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and Ma Hongjun suddenly felt like teasing him. He moved
closer to Tang San and said,
"We brothers have now shared hardships and faced life and death together.
Isn't it perfect to be honest with each other?"
