The moment they heard he attended the same school as Dai Mubai,
the spectators erupted into cheers.
Ma Hongjun, who had just stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform, immediately felt his heart tighten. Still, he forced himself to remain confident and walked forward.
As a soul master who had come from a rundown little village, Ma Hongjun had never imagined that he would receive such expectant gazes.
At the same time, upon learning that Ma Hongjun was a two-ring Great Soul Master, the spectators burst into another round of cheers.
Although...
the shock was somewhat less than that caused by Dai Mubai being a level-thirty-six Soul Elder, it was not far behind.
It was simple!
Ma Hongjun was already a two-ring Great Soul Master!
Ma Hongjun was a full four years younger than Dai Mubai!
Four years were enough for Ma Hongjun, whose talent was no worse, to catch up.
Seeing this, Flender felt both emotional and proud.
After all...
compared with Dai Mubai and the others, Ma Hongjun had an even deeper connection with Flender.
Ma Hongjun was Flender's personal disciple.
Both possessed flying-type martial souls, and Flender thought particularly highly of Ma Hongjun, whose martial soul had already mutated.
Otherwise?
With Ma Hongjun's level, he was not truly qualified to join Shrek Academy.
After all...
the admission requirement for Shrek Academy was to be a two-ring Great Soul Master.
Ma Hongjun had only been a one-ring soul master, and his level had been ordinary. He truly had not qualified.
If he wanted to enter Shrek Academy, he could only do so through other means.
For example, by becoming a teacher's personal disciple. This was one of the privileges Shrek Academy granted its teachers.
It allowed the teachers to personally take in and guide young soul masters they favored.
