Xue Beng Recruits Ma Hongjun
Heaven Dou City Prison
In a prison specifically for supervising Soul Master.
Ma Hongjun was in a cell alone.
Outside the cell, Flender looked at Ma Hongjun, who had a calm expression, and felt a little relieved.
"Hongjun, don't worry, just focus on your training here. I'll go and try to get your sentence reduced."
Flender's concerned expression touched Ma Hongjun.
In this world, only Flender was truly sincere towards him.
"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely cultivate diligently here. Tell Boss Dai and the others not to worry."
Ma Hongjun immediately smiled, making him appear genuinely remorseful.
However, in reality, Ma Hongjun certainly did not think that killing people was wrong.
Soul Master are already superior to ordinary people; the one who died was just an ordinary person.
What truly landed him in jail was the fact that the fire spread to other areas, damaging other people's property and affecting the security of Heaven Dou City.
During his few days in prison, Ma Hongjun not only didn't receive any punishment, but was actually happy to be away from Yu Xiaogang and not have to train.
"Yes, Hongjun, don't worry. With my Soul Power Level and your genius, I estimate you'll be able to release it soon."
"And you will definitely become a nobleman in the future. Nobles don't have to compensate those commoners."
After offering a few words of comfort to Ma Hongjun, Flender reluctantly left the prison.
Next, he needs to try to find connections to see if anyone can release Ma Hongjun ahead of time.
However, it was on the day Flender left.
Ma Hongjun's hard times were about to begin.
Under normal circumstances, he, as a genius Soul Master, would not be punished much.
Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe wouldn't care about something like Ma Hongjun's situation.
However, this may not be the case for others.
For example, Xue Beng and Xue Xing.
Prince Xue Xing had always suspected Xue Qinghe, but he had no evidence.
Therefore, facing the increasingly powerful Xue Qinghe, he could only secretly accumulate strength.
Xue Beng are one of them.
Similarly, Xue Beng require accumulating strength and disrupting Xue Qinghe to recruit talent.
Ever since Xiao Lin and his friends joined the Imperial Fighting Team, Xue Beng has regretted it.
He regretted not stopping Xiao Lin and the others from becoming Xue Qinghe's people (in Xue Beng's view, the people of the Imperial Fighting Team had a good relationship with Ning Rongrong, a good relationship with Ning Fengzhi, and then a good relationship with Xue Qinghe).
And now, he knows there are geniuses who are no less talented than Xiao Lin and his ilk.
Those were the Shrek members who came to challenge the Imperial Fighting Team before.
These members are young; in the past, they would have been considered monsters.
Even now that they know Xiao Lin and the others' Soul Power Level, Xue Beng still considers the Shrek students to be super geniuses.
So after learning that Ma Hongjun had been arrested and imprisoned, Xue Xing had a plan.
Xue Xing wanted Xue Beng to recruit Ma Hongjun and others, and then take the opportunity to recruit Shrek's teachers.
But Xue Beng are not mindless beings.
He and Xue Xing were just using each other, so this time, he came to the prison where Ma Hongjun was being held in person.
He wants to recruit Ma Hongjun and Ma Hongjun classmates, teachers, and so on.
Moreover, he did not intend to hand over this power to Xue Xing.
The only option is to have Ma Hongjun act as a double agent, hiding around Xue Xing.
Therefore, Xue Beng decided to make a significant offer to recruit Ma Hongjun and others.
Upon entering the prison, Xue Beng saw the youngest prisoner, Ma Hongjun.
Seeing Ma Hongjun still training in prison, Xue Beng's lips curled up slightly.
Before long, the Xue Beng, led by the jailer, arrived in front of Ma Hongjun's prison.
"Ma Hongjun, a genius of the Shrek Academy, and Dean Flender's personal disciple..."
As Xue Beng revealed a series of Ma Hongjun's identities, Ma Hongjun frowned and looked at Xue Beng.
Before him stood an Xue Beng resembling a spoiled young master. Ma Hongjun had no idea who this person was or what he wanted to do.
However, for Ma Hongjun, only Flender was the person he cared about most, so he looked at the Xue Beng with annoyance.
Ma Hongjun asked directly, "What do you want?"
"It's nothing, I just want to make a huge deal with you, and you'll benefit a lot from it."
Xue Beng grinned wickedly; he didn't believe that a country bumpkin like Ma Hongjun would refuse his deal.
"Cut."
Ma Hongjun looked disdainful; he had no respect for guys who didn't introduce themselves.
"My name is Xue Beng."
However, the Xue Beng quickly introduced itself.
Then, after ordering the jailers to open the prison, he dismissed the jailers who were with him.
Xue Beng walked up to Ma Hongjun and began to explain his situation.
"So, you want me to help you deal with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?"
Ma Hongjun wasn't stupid, and since Dai Mubai beside him was also vying for the throne, he quickly figured it out.
"Yes, but a more accurate way to put it is to have you infiltrate my Uncle Xue Xing's inner circle and help me deal with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Uncle Xue Xing."
"As a double agent, you can get benefits not only from Uncle Xue Xing's side, but also from me."
Xue Beng whispered to Ma Hongjun, smiling slightly, as if he wasn't worried at all that Ma Hongjun would betray him.
What's in it for me?
Ma Hongjun asked directly.
"The benefit is that you and your good brothers can all be allocated a large territory in the Heaven Dou Empire, establish Duchy, and become the king of the Duchy."
"Your teachers will also receive good treatment."
That's it?
Ma Hongjun frowned slightly, showing great disdain.
He didn't care about such things at all, because Dai Mubai had said that after becoming the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, he would also give them territory.
He definitely trusted Boss Dai he had spent every day with.
"I know what you're thinking. Is it Dai Mubai, the prince of the Star Luo Empire?"
Xue Beng chuckled, not paying any attention to Ma Hongjun's attitude.
"Do you think he can win? Can he become the emperor of the Star Luo Empire?"
"We will win!"
When faced with questions about the Xue Beng, Ma Hongjun appeared very confident.
"You're overthinking it. Dai Mubai will never become emperor."
"Xue Beng," Xue Beng said decisively, his face full of confidence.
"Do you think the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire would make Dai Mubai, who cannot use Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Crown Prince and the future Emperor?"
"If you think the Dai Family has never produced Titled Douluo powerhouse, how did they become emperors and possess a territory as vast as the Star Luo Empire?"
"Think about it carefully, how can Martial Soul Fusion Skill used by two Soul Douluo powerhouses not defeat an ordinary Titled Douluo?"
Upon hearing Xue Beng's words, Ma Hongjun also began to waver.
Yes, even if Dai Mubai becomes Titled Douluo, he still cannot inherit the throne.
Unless Dai Mubai alone possesses the strength of Super Douluo.
The Dai Family and Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire are closely allied, which is why they were able to become emperors. Even if Dai Mubai has their help, it's useless if the emperor of the Star Luo Empire doesn't trust them.
Otherwise, why have we never heard of Dai Mubai's second brother?
Those who cannot perform Martial Soul Fusion Skill are ineligible for the throne.
"What should I do? My contributions are too few. You need to help me find an Ultimate Ice treasure..."
Soon, Ma Hongjun stated his demands.
A short while later.
Then, Ma Hongjun's screams echoed through the prison.
What exactly happened is unknown to anyone except for the Xue Beng and Ma Hongjun.
