Shrek Academy

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed. They had already been in this world for ten years.

Over those ten years, they cultivated while reviewing the events of the novel, preparing for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Shrek Academy was located in the Balak Kingdom and claimed to be "an academy that only accepted monsters."

Shrek Academy's admission requirements were harsh: applicants had to be under thirteen and above Level 21, and they still had to pass four trials. Likewise, Shrek Academy's teaching staff was exceptionally strong. Three Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors—although Shrek Academy was not registered with any empire or kingdom, its faculty was far stronger than that of most Advanced Soul Master Academies.

Shrek Academy might have been the only academy with more teachers than students. Aside from Little Fatty, there were only Dai Mubai and Oscar.

However, the day before had been Shrek Academy's student recruitment day. As expected, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had all passed the assessment and entered Shrek Academy.

Early that morning, Little Fatty was cultivating within Shrek Academy, waiting for Tang San and Xiao Wu to pass by.

Just as expected, Tang San and Xiao Wu soon passed through the area where he was.

Little Fatty stepped in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu, blocking their path.

"What do you want?" Tang San asked.

"You're Tang San, the one who even made Teacher Zhao suffer a huge loss?" Little Fatty said. "My name is Ma Hongjun. I'm a student of this academy, and I want to spar with you."

As he spoke, Little Fatty released two yellow Soul Rings, activating his Phoenix Martial Soul.

On the other side, after having Xiao Wu move back a little, Tang San also released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Two yellow Soul Rings flashed around him as well.

Little Fatty looked utterly ridiculous at the moment. His body was round and plump, long purplish-red feathers grew from his arms, and his hair stood straight up. Compared to a phoenix, he looked more like a country chicken.

However, years of habit kept Tang San from letting down his guard in the slightest. His Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul activated swiftly, and his First Soul Ring lit up—it was the Blue Silver Grass's First Spirit Ability, Entangling.

Little Fatty's First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring lit up almost simultaneously. Thin purplish-red flames shot from his mouth, while purple flames ignited around his body, instantly reducing the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him to ashes.

They were the Evil Fire Phoenix's First Spirit Ability, Phoenix Fire Line, and Second Spirit Ability, Phoenix Nirvana.

Flames were the natural bane of plants—at least, that was still true for now.

Just then, Dai Mubai's voice came from the distance. "Tang San, Fatty, what are you two doing?"

Upon hearing him, Tang San and Little Fatty withdrew their Martial Souls at the same time.

"Tang San, let me introduce you. This is the academy's former final student I told you about—the Evil Fire Grass Chicken, Ma Hongjun," Dai Mubai said.

"Bullshit! You're the grass chicken. I'm a genuine phoenix," Little Fatty snapped furiously.

"This guy had been acting all crazy since yesterday morning, saying that the academy's luck would turn around this year. I didn't expect him to actually guess right," Dai Mubai said with a hearty laugh.

"What do you mean, guess? It was intuition, intuition. My intuition has always been accurate," Little Fatty said.

"His Martial Soul really is quite powerful, but it has one fatal flaw." Dai Mubai then explained Little Fatty's situation.

"What?" Tang San stared in astonishment. "There's actually such a bizarre Martial Soul? Shrek Academy really is a Monster Academy."

"And because this guy's desires are too strong, he's already gone through three or four girlfriends in the past year." Dai Mubai chuckled. "Who knows what got into him today, coming to challenge you first thing in the morning."

Just then, Little Fatty's stomach growled.

"We fought for a bit, and now I'm kind of hungry." Little Fatty said, "Come on, let's go to the cafeteria."

Just like that, the Shrek Seven Devils officially gathered together, and Little Fatty's cultivation at Shrek Academy entered a new stage.

Time passed. After their trip to the Soto Great Soul Arena and the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as three months of Grandmaster's hellish special training, Little Fatty once again came to a brothel.

At that moment, Little Fatty was arguing with a lecherous middle-aged man.

"Hey, I saw this little girl first!" Little Fatty roared. "One of your hands is injured already, so what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, Little Fatty released two yellow Soul Rings.

But in that instant, he remembered something and immediately wanted to withdraw his Martial Soul.

"I'm not using my hands," the lecherous man said with a smile, releasing four Soul Rings. He was clearly a Soul Ancestor.

Before Little Fatty could withdraw his Martial Soul, the lecherous man beat him into a pig-headed mess in just a few moves.

Then, the lecherous man flicked a certain part of Little Fatty and laughed loudly. "So small?"

Unable to endure it any longer, Little Fatty climbed to his feet and charged at the lecherous man again.

Soon, Little Fatty's clothes were in tatters, his round face had swollen by a full circle, dark purple bruises ringed his eyes, and dried blood hung from the corner of his mouth.

"Bule, don't fight here. You'll ruin business," a madam said.

"Consider yourself lucky. Get the hell out," Bule said, waving his hand as he threw Little Fatty out the door and shut it.

Little Fatty returned to Shrek Academy in a rage and called Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu over to help.

"Fatty, this is the golden phoenix in a grass nest you were talking about?" Oscar stared in disbelief.

"I know you'll eat anything, but a grass nest is still a grass nest. That golden phoenix is old enough to be your aunt!" Dai Mubai said with a face full of disdain.

Just then, Bule walked out of a single-story house.

Xiao Wu volunteered herself and walked over, enchanting Uncle Bule.

Then, Xiao Wu followed Uncle Bule to a dark, deserted place and used Eight Section Fall, crippling him.

Little Fatty was dumbfounded. Although he had long known the outcome, how could that compare with witnessing it firsthand?

After the others had gone far away, Little Fatty turned back and burned Uncle Bule's entire body to ashes.

Afterward, Little Fatty hurried back.

"Fatty, didn't I tell you? This guy didn't deserve to die," Dai Mubai said with a frown.

"No, Fatty did the right thing. If you don't pull out the weeds by their roots, they'll grow again when the spring breeze blows," Tang San said.

"Don't worry. I already cleaned up the scene," Little Fatty said with a grin.

He had not forgotten the third rule in the general principles of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: once you determine that an opponent is an enemy, if they deserve death, do not show mercy. Otherwise, you will only bring trouble upon yourself.
