A Pheasant Cannot Match a Phoenix

A Pheasant Cannot Match a Phoenix

Feng Xiaotian had never met the Shrek Seven Devils, yet he recognized them at a glance.

Among all the teams, Shrek Academy's uniforms were the most distinctive—and the ugliest.

They wore matching shit-green uniforms.

Besides the shit-green color, each of them had a monster Shrek emblem on their chest, with an equally bizarre color scheme.

And on everyone's back were six glaring words: "Sponsorship Ads Wanted."

Though he had never seen them before, Feng Xiaotian could still match each person to their identity based on appearance.

The tall one with shoulder-length blond hair was Dai Mubai.

The fattest one, who looked somewhat lecherous, was Ma Hongjun.

The one with short hair and no discernible presence was Oscar.

The one who walked lightly, bouncing along, was Xiao Wu.

The one who exuded the air of a proud young lady was Ning Rongrong.

The one with a great figure and an unsmiling face was Zhu Zhuqing.

Though there were several substitutes on that team, it was not hard to tell which one was Tang San.

That calm, composed bearing was something none of the others could compare to.

Shui Yue'er suddenly asked:

"Brother Tian, what are you looking at?"

"Look. That's the Shrek Academy I told you about."

Following Feng Xiaotian's gaze, everyone looked over together and was instantly dumbfounded.

"Their uniforms are way too ugly, aren't they?"

"Brother Tian, those people are the formidable opponents you mentioned?"

"They don't look like much at all. Are they really that strong?"

"Other than that big blond guy, everyone else looks pretty ordinary."

Feng Xiaotian cut off their discussion.

"You can't judge people by appearances. Their strength is no weaker than yours, especially Tang San. You'll see for yourselves soon enough."

"Brother Tian, which one is Tang San?"

"The one walking at the front, beside the blond-haired guy."

"He looks pretty ordinary!"

"What are they trying to hide?"

"If you had to wear uniforms that ugly, you wouldn't have the face to show yourselves either, would you?"

"I suppose that's true. Hahaha~~"

Tang San and the others also noticed Feng Xiaotian's group.

Ever since entering the Soul Fighting Arena, Ma Hongjun's eyes had never stopped roaming as he looked around at beautiful women.

When he saw Huo Wu and the girls from Skywater Academy, his eyes went wide.

"Look, there are four beauties over there. They seem to be looking at us. I wonder which academy they're from."

Oscar tugged at Ma Hongjun.

"Stop looking and hurry up! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

Tang San glanced that way and said coldly:

"They aren't from the same academy. They should be from three different academies."

"Third Brother, how do you know?"

"Three different uniform colors represent three academies."

"Right, that makes sense."

"Stop looking. Let's go."

The group headed straight ahead, wanting to get away from the crowded area as quickly as possible.

Ma Hongjun alone lagged behind, wanting to take a few more looks.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, only Ma Hongjun was single.

Whenever he went out and saw beautiful women, he could not move another step.

In his eyes, those four beauties were no less stunning than the Shrek Three Beauties. In terms of figure, only Zhu Zhuqing could compete with them.

Ma Hongjun looked especially lecherous, and Huo Wu shot him a glare.

"You fat bastard, what are you staring at?!"

Ma Hongjun had not expected that the hot-bodied girl would have such a fiery temper as well.

"I wasn't even looking at you. Why are you butting in?!"

"You can't look at anyone! How can a pheasant match a phoenix? Take a look at yourself first!"

Ma Hongjun's temper flared too.

"What are you yelling for? I'm a phoenix to begin with!"

"You?"

"What, don't believe me? Want to try?"

Seeing that things were going badly, Feng Xiaotian immediately stopped them.

"Enough, both of you!"

Just then, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and several others walked over as well.

"Fatty, I told you to leave, and you went and caused trouble again!"

Oscar pulled Ma Hongjun aside.

Making enemies before the competition even began was no good thing.

Dai Mubai nodded at Feng Xiaotian's group and said with a smile:

"Sorry for the disturbance. Fatty doesn't mean any harm. He just can't control his eyes."

"It's fine."

Tang San exchanged a glance with Feng Xiaotian without saying anything, then left together with Dai Mubai and the others.

Huo Wushuang asked:

"Brother Tian, was the person who just spoke to you their captain?"

"Yes. His name is Dai Mubai. He's seventeen years old, a level 44 Assault System Battle Soul Sect. The others are all younger than Dai Mubai, but several of them are already at the Soul Sect level."

They were somewhat surprised.

Huo Wushuang was already twenty-one this year, despite also being level 44.

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and Huo Wu were all older than Dai Mubai, yet their Spirit Levels were about the same.

Shui Yue'er was a year younger than Dai Mubai, but her Spirit Level was five levels lower.

For those people to have reached the Soul Sect level at such young ages was unbelievable.

Shrek Academy was likely the team with the youngest average age.

Huo Wushuang and the others now believed Feng Xiaotian when he said that the Shrek Seven Devils were all geniuses.

Huo Wu asked somewhat unwillingly:

"Who exactly is that fat bastard? How dare he compare himself to a phoenix!"

Feng Xiaotian smiled faintly.

"Don't underestimate him. He wasn't bragging. His martial soul is the mutated Evil Fire Phoenix. Once the impurities in the evil fire are removed, it can continuously evolve into the top-tier Fire Phoenix martial soul."

Upon hearing this, they were shocked once again.

"Who would have thought that lecherous fat guy possessed such a powerful Beast Soul!"

"His Soul Power has reached level 41, and he's extremely capable. During the early stages of the Soul Master Tournament, he'll definitely hide his strength and rarely appear. Just keep that in mind."

"Mm, we understand."

After entering the Grand Finals, they would need to form a new battle team. Since they were often together at this time, it was inevitable that people would grow suspicious.

Feng Xiaotian reminded them:

"After all, we come from three different academies. Unless there's something important, it's best if we meet less often from now on, lest people gossip. If anything comes up, I'll come find you."

"Alright."

"The opening ceremony is about to begin. Let's return to our respective teams."

"Mm."

Elsewhere.

After being humiliated by Huo Wu, Ma Hongjun was still fuming.

"Hmph! Who does she think she is? I wonder which academy she's from. If I run into her in the competition, just watch how I teach her a lesson."

Oscar joked:

"Fatty, she's a beauty, after all. Why aren't you showing any tenderness toward her this time?"

"What beauty! She's nothing but a crude tomboy. The other three are the real beauties!"

Tang San reminded him:

"Fatty, don't ruin our plan. During the early stages of the competition, you're supposed to hide your strength."

"Hehe~ I know. I was just saying."
