Ma Hongjun's Transformation

After a long while, Flender finally calmed down. And when he thought of Oscar now being a student of his academy, he could not help but feel delighted.

After all, the best way to make an academy famous was to nurture a genius student.

Oscar said at this moment, "How about this, Dean? I'm afraid you won't be able to feel the strength of my External Soul Bone just from words alone. I'll go find Hongjun and spar with him."

Hearing Oscar's words, Flender immediately nodded in agreement. He truly wanted to see just how powerful Oscar's External Soul Bone was.

Seeing Flender nod, Oscar went to find Ma Hongjun.

As for exposing the External Soul Bone, Oscar was no longer worried. The teachers at this academy might lack many things, but their overall unity was not a problem. If they learned about Oscar's External Soul Bone, they would not harbor any ulterior thoughts. Instead, they would be as gratified as Flender.

So, just after Oscar left, Flender said to Zhao Wuji, "Old Zhao, call Shao Xin and the others over. Let them all get a good look at the talent of this generation of Shrek students."

Flender could not help but chuckle as he began imagining the future. "A Support System Spirit Master with the combat power of an Assault System Spirit Master! Hehehe! Shrek Academy might become famous across the continent in the future!"

Zhao Wuji helplessly rolled his eyes at Flender. I just got back, and you're already ordering me around! You really are something!!

Still, Zhao Wuji did not argue. He nodded and headed out.

What could he do? Flender was the dean, while he was merely the Vice Dean! After leaving Flender's office, Oscar headed straight for the dormitory. When he and Zhao Wuji had returned earlier, they had passed by the classroom and had not seen Ma Hongjun.

With that kid's personality, he was most likely sleeping in late in the dormitory right now!

Ma Hongjun had no habit of locking his door. Oscar pushed open the door to his room and saw Ma Hongjun writing furiously at his desk.

Hearing the movement, Ma Hongjun turned and saw Oscar entering through the door. He immediately said happily, "Brother Ao, you're finally back. I missed you so much during the month you were gone."

Oscar smiled at that. He walked over to Ma Hongjun's side and glanced at what he was writing, only to discover that it was all sorts of theoretical knowledge about spirit beasts. Oscar could not help but feel a bit more pleased.

After all, he had trained this kid for so long. Now that he had finally developed good habits, of course Oscar was happy.

"You brat, looks like you didn't slack off during the month I was gone. Not bad!!" Oscar praised him directly.

Hearing Oscar's praise, Ma Hongjun felt incredibly sweet inside, even happier than when Flender praised him.

Ma Hongjun chuckled. "Hehe, Brother Ao, you have no idea. I worked really hard this month. I even broke through to Level 14 yesterday."

"Really? Perfect. I just obtained my Second Spirit Ring. Want to train with me?" Oscar asked smoothly.

Ma Hongjun hesitated upon hearing that. The scenes of Oscar training him over the past few months seemed as vivid as yesterday, but he quickly nodded firmly.

"Sure. I had Teacher give me extra meals for training this month. I'm not the same as before now. I'll definitely make you see me in a new light, Brother Ao."

Oscar did not doubt Ma Hongjun's words. But even if Ma Hongjun had grown stronger, so what? Oscar was no longer the same either. With the Azure Spirit Jade Sword, his strength was already enough to clash head-on with Assault System Spirit Masters of the same level.

His Physical Fitness even far surpassed that of Assault System Spirit Masters at the same level. With Level 22 strength, dealing with a Level 14 Ma Hongjun would be effortless, wouldn't it?

However, Oscar also wanted to inspect Ma Hongjun's progress over the past month. Otherwise, he would not have said that to Flender.

Thus, Oscar smiled faintly and replied, "Perfect. Let me see your progress."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun then arrived at the training ground. Though it was called a training ground, it was actually just a larger plaza. Since Shrek Academy no longer lacked money, it had been built much better.

At the center of the plaza stood a Spirit Dueling Platform fifty meters in diameter, something that had not existed in the original story.

Because of Oscar, Flender had already built this Spirit Dueling Platform a year ago, and it was quite practical.

At this moment, Flender, Zhao Wuji, Lu Qibin, Li Yusong, and Shao Xin had all arrived and were seated in a pavilion below the Spirit Dueling Platform.

Seeing the two arrive, Flender asked Ma Hongjun, "Hongjun, Xiao Ao is already a Soul Grandmaster. Do you have confidence?"

Flender did not tell Ma Hongjun that Oscar already possessed strength comparable to an Assault System Spirit Master, because this was also a lesson Shrek students needed to learn.

That was, even when they did not know the details of their opponent, they had to give it their all if they faced them!

Ma Hongjun grinned at Flender. "Don't worry, Teacher. Although I'm only Level 14, I'm an Assault System Spirit Master. That move you taught me this month is perfect for testing in actual combat."

Flender nodded in satisfaction. Setting everything else aside, Ma Hongjun's mentality alone was quite good.

At this point, Zhao Wuji stepped forward and came to the raised platform at the edge of the Spirit Dueling Platform. The Spirit Dueling Platform rose directly from the ground and stood a full three meters high, because only such thickness could barely withstand sparring matches between Zhao Wuji, Flender, and the others.

That was right. Oscar was not the only one who used it. Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others occasionally came over to stretch their muscles as well.

Moreover, the Spirit Dueling Platform had been built from marble and granite. With a diameter of fifty meters and a height of three meters throughout, it had cost a considerable sum.

Fortunately, Shrek Academy no longer lacked money. This Spirit Dueling Platform was merely pocket change.

"You two, get on the Spirit Dueling Platform." Standing on the five-meter-high platform, Zhao Wuji spoke to Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

The two walked onto the Spirit Dueling Platform and stood facing each other ten meters apart.

Clearly, Zhao Wuji was acting as the referee for this spar. Once the two were in position, Zhao Wuji continued, "Both Spirit Masters, release your martial spirits."

This was a required procedure in formal matches. Besides giving the competing Spirit Masters sufficient time to prepare, it also allowed the audience to clearly see both sides' martial spirits.

After all, a match was not a life-or-death battle. Entertainment value came first.

As Zhao Wuji's voice fell, Oscar's silver eyes flashed. Two yellow Spirit Rings rose beneath his feet, while an orange sausage appeared clenched in his right hand.

"Oscar, martial spirit: Supreme Sausage, Level 22 Support System Weapon Spirit Master."

Hearing Oscar's Soul Power Level, Ma Hongjun could not help but feel secretly astonished. He knew about Oscar as well. When Oscar obtained his First Spirit Ring, he had directly broken through two levels in a row. And now he had done it again?

Is this the genius of Innate Full Soul Power? Ma Hongjun could not help but think.

Fortunately, once he stepped onto the Spirit Dueling Platform, Ma Hongjun's entire aura changed. Although he was shocked inside, none of it showed on his face.

Ma Hongjun stared seriously at Oscar. Now that he had successfully slimmed down, he no longer looked sleazy. When serious, the young boy even carried a bit of presence.

"Ma Hongjun, martial spirit: Evil Fire Phoenix, Level 14 Assault System Battle Spirit Master."

As Ma Hongjun spoke, blazing flames erupted over his body. His red mohawk now looked even more like a Phoenix Crown!

Although the Evil Fire prevented him from flying directly, the flames radiating from his body seemed to form a pair of fiery wings.

A yellow Spirit Ring rose from his body. Even at only Level 14, Ma Hongjun already displayed the majesty of the Phoenix, king of all birds.

Looking at Ma Hongjun's imposing aura, Oscar was also deeply satisfied.

If things continued like this, the lecherous Little Fatty from the original story would cease to exist. There would only be Ma Hongjun, the Evil Fire Phoenix!
