Actions of Each Person (Part 2)

There were three prince's palaces in the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace. One belonged to the eldest prince, Dai Weisi, and one to the youngest prince, Dai Mubai. As for the second prince, Dai Weisi had long since secretly eliminated him.

The two princes were ten and four years old respectively, six full years apart.

The Star Luo Empire Royal Family had a tradition of raising its princes as if they were enemies. The victor would become emperor, while the loser would have his Soul Power crippled and be exiled to the frontier.

The imperial Dai Family and the Zhu Family had always been linked through marriage, a relationship connected to the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between the two families—the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat could perform the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger.

The Zhu Family's tradition was the same as the Dai Family's. Every generation of the Dai Family and Zhu Family would have several pairs of heirs, each pair betrothed to one another. Whichever pair was stronger would survive.

Dai Weisi was betrothed to the eight-year-old Zhu Zhuyun.

Inside one of the prince's palaces, Da Bao, who had reincarnated as Dai Weisi, sat quietly.

No one knew that he, too, was someone who wholeheartedly wanted to become a great villain. Unlike Lin Bo, however, he hid it extremely well.

As for what Chen Long had said about getting along with Dai Mubai, he could not be bothered with such things. What he wanted was to defeat Dai Mubai, seize the entire Star Luo Empire, and then unify all of Douluo Continent.

Five years later.

Blazing Fire Academy was one of the top Advanced Soul Master Academies in the Heaven Dou Empire, one of the Five Element Academies, and it was renowned throughout the empire.

After all, the Five Element Academies were truly the foremost Advanced Soul Master Academies in the Heaven Dou Empire. Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy had powerful instructors and an excellent learning environment, it faced all sorts of problems, resulting in few geniuses being successfully nurtured there.

The Five Element Academies were different. First, they had powerful backers. Second, they accepted students based not on status, but solely on strength. As a result, they produced even more talent than Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Blazing Fire Academy accepted only Fire attribute soul masters, and it had a Mimicry training ground specially prepared for Fire attribute soul masters.

Somewhere within Blazing Fire Academy, Fan Yihuang, who had reincarnated as Huo Wushuang, was chatting with Qi Xiaomin, who had reincarnated as Huo Wu.

"We've been in this world for five years already, haven't we? Time really flies," Fan Yihuang said.

"Yeah. I can barely tell whether this place is an illusion or reality anymore," Qi Xiaomin said.

"But our cultivation has been fairly fast," Fan Yihuang said. "We're already at Level 19 Spirit Power. Once we become Soul Grand Masters in a while, we can contact the others and see whether we should make some moves."

"What can Soul Grand Masters even do?" Qi Xiaomin said. "We should focus on becoming stronger as soon as possible. Once we become Soul Ancestors, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will be where we show our strength."

Godwind Academy was likewise one of the Five Element Academies. It accepted only Wind attribute soul masters and had a Mimicry training ground for Wind attribute soul masters.

Godwind Academy was quite close to Blazing Fire Academy, and the two often held exchanges.

At that moment, Li Hong, who had reincarnated as Feng Xiaotian, was cultivating in the Mimicry training ground.

His Soul Power had now reached Level 32, a result closely tied to his diligent cultivation.

He had once fought Fan Yihuang and Qi Xiaomin at the same time, ultimately winning the battle. It could be said that this was closely related to his hard work.

Though he had usually been carefree and unruly, after coming to this world, perhaps influenced by Feng Xiaotian's memories, he seemed to have become a different person and began cultivating diligently.

Another three years passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already eight years since everyone had come to Douluo Continent.

That day, Little Fatty, who had reincarnated as Ma Hongjun, was waiting for someone in the village.

That person was naturally Shrek Academy's dean, the Four-Eyed Cat Eagle, Flender. According to the timeline, it was exactly this day.

His Soul Power was only Level 10 now, but that was merely because he had never absorbed a Spirit Ring to break through.

According to Grandmaster's Ten Core Competencies of the Spirit Master World, a Spirit Ring bottleneck could not stop a soul master's Soul Power from increasing. It merely prevented them from entering the next level without the guidance of a Spirit Ring. Cultivating at their original level could not raise their rank, but the Soul Power they cultivated would still remain. Once they obtained a Spirit Ring, it would naturally reveal itself.

Once he absorbed his First Soul Ring, he would likely rise directly to around Level 20. That was already an extremely high level.

Just then, a man who appeared to be in his fifties walked over.

With a slightly protruding chin, a flat face, and a pair of Black-rimmed crystal glasses on his face, he was none other than Flender.

"Huh?" The instant Flender saw Little Fatty, he cried out in surprise. Then he appeared before Little Fatty and examined him carefully.

At that moment, the other villagers also gathered around.

"You are?" one villager asked tentatively.

"My name is Flender, and I am the dean of Shrek Academy." As he spoke, Flender released his Martial Soul, and Seven Spirit Rings circled around him.

"Your Excellency Soul Saint!" the villagers cried out.

"What is this boy's name?" Flender asked, pointing at Little Fatty.

"His name is Ma Hongjun. He is Eleven years old this year," a village woman said as she stepped forward.

"Ma Hongjun..." Flender pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems his Martial Soul has mutated. Though it has given him a powerful Flame ability, it also comes with a huge flaw. His body has already been affected by his Martial Soul, making him exceptionally strong in matters between men and women, with desires and impulses ten times those of ordinary people. If it is merely suppressed rather than properly guided, this evil fire could overwhelm him at any time and cause him to explode and die."

"Please, you must save Hong Jun, Your Excellency Soul Saint," the village woman hurriedly pleaded.

"Forgive my presumption, but you should be Ma Hongjun's mother, correct? Would you be willing to let me take him to my academy to cultivate? I will find a way to solve this problem of his," Flender said.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Soul Saint," the village woman said hurriedly. "Hong Jun, hurry and thank the Esteemed Dean."

"No need. Then I'll take him and leave now." As he spoke, Flender hoisted Ma Hongjun onto his shoulder, activated his Martial Soul, and flew away.

My good days are finally here, Little Fatty thought in delight.
