First Volume

Ma Hongjun of the Evil Fire Phoenix. Seeing this scene, Su Xing suddenly remembered something. The next second, he guessed who this person was. Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul setting was practically the dream of countless men. If he had been in Su Xing's previous life, once this kid grew up, he would definitely have become a king among male escorts, the favorite of rich women... Hearing this, Cuihua suddenly blushed furiously and stammered, "You've been good to me, but you want it so many times every day. I really can't take it anymore. We really aren't suitable. Go find someone else." The little fat boy in red said irritably, "Cuihua, why do you want to break up with me? Haven't I treated you well?" Su Xing got up very early. Cultivating the Yijin Jing every morning had become something he had to do, rain or shine, without fail. "T-Titled Douluo?" Immediately, purple light surged from Ma Hongjun's body. The short hair on his head suddenly grew longer and began gathering toward the middle, forming a crown-like tuft of red hair. Behind him, an illusory phoenix condensed into shape. Two yellow soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet, releasing waves of terrifying heat. "Ahhh!" As he spoke, Ma Hongjun dragged Cuihua toward the thatched cottage. Thus, Zhao Wuji thought over every fight he had ever had and every person he had beaten since birth, yet he still could not figure out where the problem lay. "Oh? I didn't expect you to be a Soul Master too. Today, I'll let you see what real strength is." The youth arguing with the girl was not very tall. He was chubby all over, foolish-looking, with short hair, tiny eyes, a round belly, and an extremely tacky red outfit. "You may be spared from death, but you cannot escape punishment." Tang Hao glanced at Zhao Wuji and said indifferently, "I'll give you a chance. I won't use my Martial Soul. If you can last the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I'll leave without another word. Otherwise, you must do one thing for me." As the two walked, they saw a young man and woman arguing not far ahead. At the same time, nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—slowly rose beneath the black-robed man's feet, releasing dazzling brilliance. Su Xing did not go inside directly. Instead, he stood at the door and called out softly. Ma Hongjun's hand was kicked away, and rage immediately flared in his heart. He snorted disdainfully. "You stinking bitch, who the hell are you to meddle in my business? Looking for trouble? Believe it or not, I'll have my way with you first, then kill you!" "..." Tang Hao. "Oh?" the black-robed man said blandly. "Didn't you enjoy bullying those children during the day? I want to enjoy myself too now and experience what it feels like to bully the weak with strength." Although Zhao Wuji thought that, he did not dare say it aloud. Seeing that things were going badly, Zhao Wuji hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency, you've wronged me. Surely you saw what happened during the day. Though I fought with those little ones, I didn't hit them hard. But when they attacked, they were trying to beat me to death. I've already been beaten twice in a row. I'm miserable enough..." After leaving Shrek Academy, the two unknowingly arrived at the nearby village where the villagers lived. The villagers were already busy early in the morning, beginning their farm work. After saying that, Ma Hongjun shouted, "Phoenix Avatar!" Seeing Ma Hongjun like this, Xiao Wu simply could not hold it in and burst out laughing... "Cut the nonsense. Stand aside, or I'll beat you up too." "Isn't this scam academy exactly like I told you before? I just want to know what you're thinking now. If it really doesn't work out, we can go elsewhere. After all, there are plenty of academies on this continent better than this scam academy." Su Xing hesitated for a moment before asking. "Greetings, Your Excellency Haotian. I do not know how Zhao Wuji offended you, but I, Flender, am willing to apologize on his behalf. Could you give me some face?" Flender had no intention of fighting. He respectfully bowed to the man in black. The moment Zhao Wuji saw those nine soul rings, he was dumbfounded. He swallowed hard, and his formerly arrogant tone vanished completely as he said in a trembling voice, Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing froze for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said softly, "Mm. This academy really is as you said. There are serious problems, but they haven't crossed my bottom line yet. Let's wait and see. If it truly doesn't work out, we can leave." "What is it so early in the morning? Is something wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing looked as though she had not fully woken up and mumbled sleepily. When the sun rose, Su Xing finished his cultivation for the day. He exhaled a breath of turbid air, then left the dormitory, intending to speak with Zhu Zhuqing. Before long, he arrived outside Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory. Since Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong lived together, Zhu Zhuqing had a dormitory room to herself. Hearing this, Zhao Wuji was briefly stunned and cursed inwardly. The hell? When was I enjoying myself? Those two little bastards beat me into that state. My face was bruised and swollen, and it hurt all afternoon. As soon as the black-robed man finished speaking, black light condensed in his hand. Moments later, a huge black iron hammer appeared in his grasp. With a dull thud, Tang San withdrew his leg and retreated, while Ma Hongjun staggered back several steps from the kick. Su Xing nodded and said nothing more. He directly took Zhu Zhuqing's soft hand and smiled. "Since that's the case, I'll take you out for a walk." After speaking, Tang Hao's nine soul rings disappeared at once. His figure flashed, and he arrived before Zhao Wuji. The night gradually deepened. Zhao Wuji returned to his residence supported by Flender, but no one knew how many sausages he would have to eat for his pig-headed face to recover. "Pfft, why is there such a fat little chicken?" The young man and woman did not look very old, only around thirteen or fourteen. From the girl's appearance and clothing alone, it was clear that she was the child of a villager. "..." Flender. Having learned his lesson from yesterday, Tang San did not want Xiao Wu to make a move again. He stepped directly in front of her, his expression darkening as he shouted sternly, "Are you looking to die?" Upon hearing the words "Your Excellency Haotian," Zhao Wuji immediately sucked in a cold breath. Ma Hongjun flew into a rage. He truly could not understand why a Titled Douluo, one of the continent's top experts, had come to Shrek Academy to beat him up. Could it be that I, Zhao, offended him before? After hearing Zhu Zhuqing say this, Su Xing knew she had not yet made up her mind to leave Shrek Academy, so he could not say much more. Then he did something unexpected. The moment those words were spoken, Flender and Zhao Wuji instantly understood. Not long after, the door opened, and Zhu Zhuqing walked out. Seeing this, Zhao Wuji hurriedly bent at the waist and saluted respectfully. "Your Excellency, I truly cannot figure out how I offended you. Could you explain it clearly before beating me up?" "Zhuqing, Zhuqing, are you awake?" "Hmph." Tang Hao snorted coldly. "Do I need to explain that? If you beat the young ones, the elders naturally have to step forward and seek justice. Enough nonsense. Let's fight!" The next second, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face reddened slightly. She wanted to pull free from Su Xing's hand, but after spending all these years in the Star Luo Empire with almost no friends, like an autistic child, being held by a boy like this made her feel a little warmth. So she did not resist. Dragging the massive iron hammer behind him, the black figure walked step by step toward Zhao Wuji. Looking closely, the hammer had already plowed a shallow groove into the ground. Cuihua struggled desperately and pleaded, "No, don't! Are you even human? I can't take it anymore." Morning came, and sunlight spread across the earth. Its warm aura brought vigorous life to the land. All things revived under the bright sunlight, and a new day began. "Bang! Bang!" Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing some distance away, could not help covering her mouth and smiling when she saw Ma Hongjun's chubby appearance after his Martial Soul Possession. "Hmph, what do you mean you can't take me? Other women would kill for this chance, yet you don't want it? I really don't know what you're thinking. Breaking up is fine, but you have to do it with me one more time. Then we can break up peacefully. Otherwise, no way." Tang San moved. With Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track beneath his feet, he kicked toward Ma Hongjun. Seeing Tang San's kick coming, Ma Hongjun crossed both arms before him and blocked it. "Beast!" "Bang!" "You fat bastard, stop right there! In broad daylight, are you trying to forcibly take a woman?" Xiao Wu could not stand it any longer. She kicked at the hand Ma Hongjun was using to hold Cuihua and shouted angrily. But honestly, with his round body and upright hair, no one would believe he was a phoenix. Tang Hao said coldly. The next day. A moment later, Su Xing could not help shaking his head. Zhao Wuji's desire to survive was extremely strong, and he made himself sound utterly miserable. Even Flender was somewhat moved by what he heard. After several seconds of silence, Tang Hao thought, I was cursed at so badly by Old Jack during those years in Holy Soul Village. No, I have to find someone to vent my anger on today. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing let out a cold shout. A frosty light flashed in her eyes as Soul Power slowly gathered within her body. Just as she was about to act, Su Xing pulled her back. Just then, just as the black-robed man came within less than ten meters of Zhao Wuji, an eagle's cry rang out abruptly, and a figure flew over from the distant forest. The sounds of fists striking flesh, muffled groans, and screams rose one after another from the forest. "Damn it, I thought Tang Hao would let you go after you took one shot from me. Who would have thought that fate cannot be changed? You really can't avoid a single beating you were destined to take." A moment later. "Ma Hongjun, don't come looking for me again. I won't be with you anymore." The girl looked fearfully at the fat boy and pleaded. Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Su Xing wandered around Shrek Academy with nothing better to do. Suddenly hearing movement in the distance, he immediately used his spiritual power to investigate. Zhu Zhuqing did not understand and looked at Su Xing in confusion. The next second, however, she saw Xiao Wu and Tang San suddenly appear. "May I ask which senior has arrived? Please stop joking with me. How could I possibly be worthy of sparring with you?"
