Dai Mubai looked over and saw that eager expression. "Kid, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you?"
Su Yunlin shook his head. "It's not arrogance, but confidence. It's only because you became gods. To put it bluntly, if you hadn't become gods, you wouldn't even be able to take one move from me."
Ma Hongjun also got a little angry. "Yo, that arrogant? You really don't put us in your eyes?"
Su Yunlin glanced at Ma Hongjun. "I really don't put you in my eyes. At 20 years old, you were only at the Spirit King level. Among the entire Shrek Seven Monsters, your cultivation was the weakest, and you had even taken an immortal herb, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
"That's it? Only a Spirit King at 20? Your descendant, Ma Xiaotao, had no immortal herb and relied on her own willpower to endure the corrosion of evil fire, yet she cultivated to level 67 at 19 years old. That is far stronger than you, Brothel Phoenix."
Su Yunlin crossed his arms, while Ma Hongjun instantly turned red with anger. If it had been in the past, he might have exploded on the spot. However, the current him was much more mature.
"You're right. I truly wasn't hardworking enough back then. During the Fire God's divine trial, I was careless and ultimately failed, almost being separated from Xiangxiang forever. If Third Brother hadn't made arrangements in advance, Xiangxiang and I would have been completely separated."
The moment the words "Brothel Phoenix" came out, all the experts present looked over. They all knew about Ma Hongjun's old behavior, and it was even recorded in Phoenix Douluo's biography. In his youth, Phoenix Douluo had needed special methods to release his evil fire.
Su Yunlin turned his head and happened to see Ma Xiaotao at another table. Su Yunlin waved, signaling for Ma Xiaotao to come over.
Ma Xiaotao was sitting at the same table as Huo Yuhao. In truth, she had been staring at Ma Hongjun the entire time, because the feeling from their bloodline could not be wrong. Her Martial Soul originated from Ma Hongjun's lineage.
Ma Hongjun's descendants had originally possessed pure Fire Phoenixes, but after only a few generations, evil fire appeared again, resulting in the Martial Soul inherited by Ma Xiaotao's generation still being the Evil Fire Phoenix.
Ma Xiaotao had been thinking about how to start a conversation with her ancestor. After all, the purpose of her diligent cultivation was to prevent Phoenix Douluo's lineage from being covered in dust. In the end, Su Yunlin and Ma Hongjun ended up arguing.
Ma Xiaotao heard everything Su Yunlin said. Su Yunlin's meaning was that Phoenix Douluo Ma Hongjun was inferior to her, Ma Xiaotao. These words made Ma Xiaotao feel somewhat frightened.
However, she had also studied history. At the same age, her ancestor Phoenix Douluo was indeed inferior to her. Perhaps she far surpassed Ma Hongjun in terms of resources, but Ma Hongjun had obtained an immortal herb while still a Spirit Elder, so his cultivation path had been incomparably smooth.
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao relied on herself to forcefully withstand the corrosion of evil fire and cultivated to level 67 at 19 years old. The higher her cultivation became, the more severe the evil fire's corrosion became. Ma Xiaotao often went berserk because the evil fire surged to her head.
She had not chosen to learn Ma Hongjun's way of releasing evil fire. Even now, she was still an untouched maiden. In terms of cultivation diligence, Ma Xiaotao far surpassed Ma Hongjun.
Ma Xiaotao walked beside Su Yunlin, somewhat at a loss.
Su Yunlin introduced her to Ma Hongjun. "This is your descendant, Ma Xiaotao. Take a look at her current cultivation. She is not yet 30 years old, and her cultivation is already at Spirit Douluo.
"Until now, aside from experiencing one phoenix nirvana, she has had no other opportunities. She has never taken the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, nor did she have a black-level trial from Sea God's Island."
At this moment, Ma Hongjun looked at Ma Xiaotao solemnly. The fire element within this girl's body was even more powerful than his had been before he became a god. According to the current terminology, it should be ultimate fire.
Bai Chenxiang walked over, took Ma Xiaotao's hand, and smiled. "Xiaotao, right? Mm~ A descendant of mine and Hongjun's, though the generations are rather far apart. You are very outstanding, even more outstanding than Hongjun."
Ma Hongjun nodded. "Good child, you are more outstanding than me. As Su Yunlin said, I really wasn't very proper when I was young. Don't learn from me~ Oh right, you also have a Phoenix Martial Soul, don't you? Summon your Martial Soul and let me see."
Ma Xiaotao was somewhat nervous, but she still summoned her Martial Soul. Her Ultimate Fire Phoenix Martial Soul possessed her body. Two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red, eight Spirit Rings appeared.
Dugu Bo, who was drinking, sprayed out a mouthful of wine, directly spraying it onto Gu Rong's face.
"Cough, cough. Have 100,000-year Spirit Rings become this worthless? Fatty's descendant even has a 100,000-year eighth Spirit Ring?
"Back then, it was difficult for us to even encounter a 100,000-year Spirit Beast. This era truly is…"
Gu Rong wiped the wine off his face, then threw a napkin onto Dugu Bo's face. "Old Poison, are you looking for a beating?"
Chen Xin took a light sip of wine. "The current Star Dou Great Forest is far beyond what it was in our time. In our era, the Star Dou Great Forest was incomparably mysterious, and we only knew that the peak of Spirit Beasts was 100,000-year Spirit Beasts.
"We did not know that above 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, there were Savage Beasts that had crossed heavenly tribulations. Over 10,000 years of change, the overall quality of Spirit Masters has improved, especially with this Spirit Core. Back then, in order to cultivate, because our internal Spirit Power was deep, something similar to a Spirit Core vortex naturally formed. This could assist our cultivation.
"Old Poison did not have a Spirit Core back then, so he kept wandering around level 91 or 92. I was lucky and fortunately broke through during Spirit Hall's attack. But in this era, Titled Douluo all have Spirit Cores on average. In terms of Spirit Power reserves, they far surpass the us of back then.
"It can only be said that the person who researched Spirit Cores was a great talent. I heard Tang San say that this great talent appeared several hundred years after Tang San left the Douluo Continent, and cultivated to peerless Douluo at extreme speed.
"His talent should have allowed him to obtain a god's inheritance. However, he believed that the human body had three dantians and wanted to open a third Spirit Core. He failed while opening the third Spirit Core and died from the collision between Spirit Cores. Truly a pity."
Ma Hongjun was still chatting with Ma Xiaotao about family matters. Ma Hongjun infused all his understanding of the Phoenix Martial Soul, his understanding of the Phoenix God position, and his control over the fire attribute into Ma Xiaotao's spiritual sea.
Ma Hongjun hoped that this descendant of his could obtain the Fire God's inheritance and make up for his regret from back then.
On Dai Mubai's side, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly poked Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai turned to look and saw Zhu Zhuqing pointing toward Huo Yuhao's position.
"Aiyo!"
Dai Mubai was also a god, and he was even the God of War, whose strength ranked among the top of second-level gods. With only one glance, he discovered what was different about Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao carried his bloodline and also possessed a special kind of fate.
Dai Mubai directly walked over and sat down in front of Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao also saw that golden-haired figure walk over. From this figure, he saw the shadow of the person in his heart whom he both hated and held a faint trace of expectation toward.
Huo Yuhao had seen Dai Mubai from the very beginning. With one glance, he recognized this ancestor of the White Tiger Duke's lineage.
Dai Mubai smiled. "Yo, little fellow, you should be a descendant of my line, right? What should I call you?"
Huo Yuhao remained silent. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath. "Sorry, Your Majesty White Tiger. My surname is Huo."
Dai Mubai looked puzzled. He looked Huo Yuhao up and down, then placed one hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. After a long while, he said,
"You are this old man's seed, aren't you? Why is your surname Huo? My White Tiger line shouldn't have been destroyed, right? I can still sense that there are other descendants. The strongest aura among them seems to be in the Star Luo Empire, near the border, and his cultivation seems to have just entered Titled Douluo."
Zhu Zhuqing also looked puzzled. She could also tell that this young man was her and Dai Mubai's descendant. Back when they were still on the Douluo Continent, they had many children, so there had been no problem with their lineage spreading. Could this child have an outside surname?
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. "I did indeed come from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but I am only an illegitimate son. I am not worthy of being considered a White Tiger descendant. Besides, I don't have the White Tiger Martial Soul either, so I'm not qualified to call myself your descendant."
"Huh?"
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing both looked utterly confused. What was going on?
