Martial Soul Simulator Issued

"Isn't it a little too early to say that?"

Whoosh—!

A flash of blue light vanished, and the Thunderclap Sword appeared in Huo Feng's right hand once more.

The next instant, he charged straight ahead with his sword raised, moving at incredible speed.

"What?!"

Dai Mubai froze. This kid had taken his full-force blow under White Tiger Vajra Transformation head-on.

Yet he was still jumping around as if nothing had happened?

Not only was he uninjured, he could even counterattack? By the time Dai Mubai came to his senses, Huo Feng had already charged to within ten feet of him.

Dai Mubai had no time to attack and hastily raised both arms in front of himself to block.

All ten claws extended, he was fully on guard.

Clang!

Dai Mubai's sacrifice was successful!

Main quest, Phase Three reward: Soul Ring Simulator has been issued to the System Warehouse!

Sacrifice Points increased by 500!

At that moment, the system's voice rang out again.

Hearing it, Huo Feng quietly pulled back some of the force behind his sword.

Otherwise, even Dai Mubai at level thirty-seven would have suffered severe injuries.

Whoosh—!

The Thunderclap Sword came slashing down.

Dai Mubai, who had been braced for impact, suddenly felt every muscle in his body convulse violently.

His carefully prepared stance collapsed in an instant.

Almost at the same second, the enhancement from White Tiger Vajra Transformation vanished as well.

Dai Mubai's body abruptly shrank by half, returning to a normal human form.

At the same time, Huo Feng's sword descended.

Under the horrified gazes of the twin sisters, Dai Mubai was sent flying after a brief attempt at blocking.

Bang—!

Just like Tang San before him, he slammed heavily into the wall.

"Young Master Dai, are you all right, Young Master Dai?!"

"Young Master Dai, don't scare us like this!"

The twin sisters rushed to Dai Mubai's side like madwomen and gathered him into their arms.

They pressed his philtrum, pressed on his chest, and even gave him mouth-to-mouth.

They were terrified that he would just kick the bucket.

Dai Mubai, who had only been lightly unconscious, suddenly felt an intense scent of perfume flood his nostrils.

The next instant, he abruptly opened his eyes.

What met his gaze were the anxious faces of the twin sisters.

Dai Mubai hurriedly got to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and wanted to continue fighting.

However, his body was now extremely weak.

The muscle spasms throughout his body made even lifting an arm painfully excruciating.

"You lost."

At that moment, an indifferent voice reached his ears.

Dai Mubai looked unwillingly at the black-clad youth thirty feet away. His lips moved, but in the end, he had no strength to argue.

He had indeed lost.

And he had lost completely.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and finally let out a silent sigh.

"Let's go!"

The twin sisters no longer carried themselves with the same arrogance as before. They followed behind Dai Mubai dejectedly, preparing to leave.

"Wait."

Just then, Huo Feng suddenly called out to Dai Mubai, who was about to leave.

He pointed at Tang San, who had only just recovered somewhat, then revealed a friendly smile.

"You can't just beat this guy up for free."

"How much? Name your price!"

Though Dai Mubai was furious beyond measure, he still said those words.

"One hundred Gold Soul Coins. That's not much, right?"

Huo Feng raised his hand and made a gesture for ten.

"What? You..."

Dai Mubai's mouth twitched. This brat really had the nerve to ask for an outrageous price!

He actually dared to demand a hundred Gold Soul Coins in compensation? But given the situation, it seemed he would not be able to leave without bleeding a little.

Whoosh—!

After deliberating for a long while, Dai Mubai threw a money pouch at Huo Feng with extreme reluctance.

"Fifty Gold Soul Coins. Take it or leave it!"

After throwing out those words, he headed straight out of the hotel.

Huo Feng did not pursue the matter further.

Fifty Gold Soul Coins was already plenty. Sometimes, one should not push people too hard.

Pull, then tug. Take, then give.

That would produce better results instead.

The hotel lobby was a complete mess after the battle.

Manager Wang cautiously poked his head out. His throat bobbed for a long while, yet he could not force out a single word.

Young Master Dai alone was enough to terrify him.

Who would have thought that this black-clad youth who had arrived later would actually defeat Young Master Dai?

For a moment, he had no idea how to speak.

"Tang San, your injuries aren't too serious, are they?"

Huo Feng looked at Tang San and asked casually.

Tang San staggered forward and gave Huo Feng a slight bow, thinking, Do I look like I'm not seriously injured?

But he placed immense importance on saving face, so he would never voice what he was truly thinking.

"Huo Feng, thank you for helping me. I only suffered some superficial injuries. I should be fine after resting for a night."

He truly was badly injured, but if he showed weakness before Huo Feng—

Would that not be admitting that he was far weaker than Huo Feng?

Seeing Tang San limp with every step, Huo Feng's mouth twitched.

The hell kind of superficial injury was this? "Why did you two come to Suotuo City as well?"

Tang San looked at Huo Feng and Xiao Wu with a face full of confusion.

At the same time, to hide his embarrassment, he immediately chose to change the subject.

"We came to take Shrek Academy's entrance examination."

Huo Feng did not conceal it. They would definitely meet again during the examination anyway.

"What?!"

Tang San was startled. Because he moved too suddenly and his entire body ached, he nearly fell over.

After steadying himself, he continued in a deliberately calm manner.

"You two are also taking Shrek Academy's entrance examination?"

Tang San truly was surprised.

Unlike several intermediate Soul Master Academies he had long heard of, he had never even heard the name Shrek Academy before.

It was only because his teacher had insisted that he come here that he had chosen to travel alone to Shrek Academy.

And now Huo Feng and Xiao Wu were also going to Shrek Academy for its entrance examination?

Tang San, who had once been full of anticipation for this academy, suddenly lost much of his interest.

He had been suppressed by these two for six whole years at Notting Academy. He knew all too well how painful that was.

If they were going to attend the same academy in the future as well, the days ahead would be unimaginable.

"You mean you're here for Shrek Academy's entrance examination too?"

Huo Feng looked at Tang San with feigned surprise.

Tang San nodded, then limped toward the entrance of the lobby.

"Then we'll meet again at Shrek Academy."

Though he felt a trace of resistance in his heart.

This academy had been recommended by his teacher, so Tang San would choose it without hesitation.

Even if his future life might still intersect with Huo Feng's.

After saying that, he endured the pain and quickly left the street.

Tang San looked truly miserable right now.

He only wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today was the day of Shrek Academy's entrance examination.

Early in the morning, Huo Feng and Xiao Wu asked around while searching for the way to Shrek Academy.

"This place is way too shabby."

Though he had already mentally prepared himself.

When Huo Feng saw Shrek Academy, he still could not help but complain. They had just arrived at the entrance to the village where Shrek Academy was located.

On a battered, dilapidated signboard at the village entrance were five striking words: "Shrek Academy."
