Chapter 6 Heading to Heaven Dou City
"How did it get like this?"
Flander frowned, looking at the groaning Oscar, completely bewildered. They had only just left; how could Oscar be so badly injured?
"It was Oscar laughing at the way our martial spirits were. Hong Jun's evil fire erupted and spewed fire onto the ground. Oscar was busy laughing and accidentally stepped on it."
"If it weren't for me, Oscar probably wouldn't have even kept his legs."
Xie Mo shrugged slightly. Ultimately, it was Oscar who took the initiative. Although Ma Hongjun was unable to fully control his power, how could he possibly take the blame on the two of them?
Flander was having a bit of a headache. Two years ago, he found a food-type character with innate full soul power, and this year he found two top geniuses, one of whom could inherit his mantle.
These are two happy things, but why don't they make the other happy when they're put together?
"Little Ao!"
Shao Xin's scream rang out, and Flander's face showed a slight wry smile. He knew how much the other party treasured Oscar.
Shao Xin's small body unleashed tremendous energy, and in an instant, he was in front of Oscar.
At this moment, Oscar's lower body was completely black, and cold mist swirled around his legs. After extinguishing the flames, Xie Mo melted the ice to prevent further damage.
Shao Xin poured a bunch of candies into Oscar's mouth, and Oscar obediently swallowed them in large gulps.
The charred black paint quickly peeled off, and thanks to the powerful effect of Shao Xin's soul skill, Oscar's burned areas healed rapidly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it wasn't intentional to ruin Oscar's appearance. If he could be restored, there was hope for a resolution.
"Xiao Ao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine now."
Oscar struggled to his feet and jumped twice to show that he was alright.
Flander recounted what had happened to the teachers who had rushed over. Seeing that Oscar nodded in agreement, the atmosphere among them eased up; it was just children playing around.
"Just to be on the safe side, I'll take Xiao Ao to Tian Dou City to have him checked by Grandpa Ye."
As a food-type Soul Master who has squeezed into the top tier on the continent, Shao Xin knows quite a few support-type Soul Masters.
"That person... it's been so long since we've heard any news about them."
Flander adjusted his glasses, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Old Shao, I'll go with you this time. I want to bring Hongjun along so that person can examine him."
Flander's face showed a pleading expression.
"Consider it a favor I owe you."
"Boss Fu, there's no need for favors between brothers like us. It's just that it's not certain whether that person will actually help. I heard..."
Shao Xin flipped his hands over, a troubled look on his face. He couldn't actually guarantee that the other party would intervene. Besides that person, he had other friends in Tiandou City, but that person's investigation was more authoritative.
"It's alright, just do your best and leave the rest to fate."
Even so, Flander's face still showed a pained expression; that would cost a lot of money.
"I want to go too. As Hongjun's older brother, I can't just stand by and do nothing."
Xie Mo raised his hand to participate as well. Ma Hongjun's problem was actually quite clear in the original work: the immortal herb was the safest solution.
He had a rough idea of who they were looking for; it was probably Ye Lingling's grandfather, one of only two other owners of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul in the world.
According to his guess, the other party should have some connection with Dugu Bo. After all, Dugu Bo must have sought out this top-notch healing-type Soul Master after being poisoned. The interaction between Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan in the original work shows that their relationship was not bad.
Before they grow into top-tier healing-type Soul Masters, major powers will definitely not let them go. They might even be supporting each other with Dugu Bo, relying on Dugu Bo's intimidation to live peacefully.
Flander glanced at Ma Hongjun, who was staring at him expectantly, then at Oscar, who seemed unharmed, and sighed softly.
"Sure, this is a good opportunity for you two to develop your relationship."
Despite the mess they made on their very first day together, Flander still hoped the three of them could get along well. He thought that if they could find or recruit a few more geniuses, they might be able to form a team and grow together in the future.
Xie Mo smiled slightly. Staying here meant nothing. If he went to Tiandou City, he might be able to get Blue Tyrant Academy and Shrek Academy to merge ahead of schedule. He didn't become a Soul Master to live a hard life.
Shao Xin was very concerned about Oscar's health. After quickly packing his luggage, he hired a carriage and headed towards Tiandou City.
Flander had originally intended to let Xie Mo and Ma Hongjun "train" their bodies, but after Xie Mo firmly refused, he had no choice but to back down and rent a carriage to drive himself, following behind Shao Xin's carriage.
Flanders, who hadn't yet "robbed the rich to help the poor," wasn't exactly wealthy, but Xie Mo suspected that even if he did become rich, he would still take a bite out of the rich first. In the original story, this guy actually did that.
After several days of swaying and bumping along the road, they finally arrived at Tiandou City, almost the largest city on the continent and the heart of the Tiandou Empire.
Before entering Tiandou City, Flander stopped his carriage in an open area outside the city and reluctantly handed over the money to Qibao Carriage Company. The money was calculated by the day. He felt it was necessary to train his disciple next.
Xie Mo and Ma Hongjun got off the carriage. Flander glanced at Xie Mo and his disciple with surprise. After teaching them meditation techniques, the two had spent most of their time cultivating these past few days.
Keep in mind that the two were only six years old, an age when they should be active and energetic. Some geniuses make slow progress at this age because they don't practice properly. Who would have thought that they could meditate peacefully in the carriage?
My disciple Hongjun is qualified to be granted a title.
This was the first thought that popped into Flander's mind, but when he thought of the scene of Ma Hongjun's lustful fire, he had a headache and could only pray that the person could have a good way to get rid of the lustful fire.
The two adults and three children successfully entered Tiandou City.
The streets were bustling with traffic and crowds. Vendors shouted their wares, and the sounds of their hawking filled the air. The aroma of food wafted through the air, making one's mouth water.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun stared wide-eyed at the lively scene before them. It was the first time they had ever seen anything like it. They felt uneasy, yet also very curious as they observed everything.
Although Xie Mo had seen skyscrapers that reached into the clouds and clean, modern streets before, this was the first time he had seen the ancient style of Tiandou City, and he found it quite novel.
The group flagged down another carriage and rode towards the Ye residence.
Upon hearing the name, the coachman looked as if he had just realized something, and patted his chest to assure them that he would definitely not delay them.
Sure enough, the coachman drove the carriage through the streets with practiced ease and soon stopped in front of a mansion.
The group of people got out of the car and were stunned by the scene in front of the door. What was going on?
