Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!

He took out a pair of shoes from his Soul Tool and handed them to Xiao Wu. He had prepared them for Ning Rongrong.

Xiao Wu put on the new shoes. Her pretty face was filled with anger as she glared at Ma Hongjun.

"How can you be like this?"

"Hmph, who told you to call me a country chicken?"

"You!"

Seeing Ma Hongjun's flippant, unrepentant expression, Xiao Wu's face darkened.

"You rogue, I'm going to make you suffer today!"

"Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, possess me!"

With a light shout, pale pink Soul Power suddenly burst forth, and the phantom of a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit appeared behind her.

Ma Hongjun snorted at the sight, planting his hands on his hips.

"A little rabbit? Perfect. I happen to need a pet rabbit to play with! First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fireline!"

Before he finished speaking, he took a sharp breath, his cheeks puffing out slightly.

Then he opened his mouth and spat out a blazing purplish-red flame. Carrying scorching waves of heat, it shot toward Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu reacted swiftly. With a light tap of her toes against the ground, she drifted sideways like a willow catkin, narrowly evading the flames.

The purplish-red fire grazed the hem of her skirt and landed on the nearby grass, immediately igniting a small flame.

"You still dare dodge?"

Ma Hongjun raised a brow and controlled the Phoenix Fireline to change direction, chasing after the constantly evading Xiao Wu like a shadow.

The purplish-red flames traced strange arcs through the air, steadily compressing Xiao Wu's room to evade.

Xiao Wu's gaze sharpened. She stopped merely dodging and used her nimble movements to weave through the gaps in the flames.

Every shift precisely avoided the purplish-red fireline as she closed in on Ma Hongjun step by step.

Spotting an opening while Ma Hongjun controlled the flames, she suddenly lowered herself and slid close to the ground like a Spirit Cat, barely avoiding the tongue of fire rushing toward her.

Before Ma Hongjun could retract his attack, Xiao Wu suddenly pushed off with her feet, springing up like a startled wild rabbit.

Using that momentum, she unleashed Rabbit Kick Eagle, her right foot carrying a fierce gust of wind as it viciously struck Ma Hongjun beneath the chin!

"Aow!"

Ma Hongjun felt a sharp pain explode through his jaw, and his entire body flew backward out of control, flipping once in midair.

Before he could steady himself, Xiao Wu had already followed close behind like a shadow.

Her scorpion braid moved like a nimble spirit snake, whipping around his neck with a swish before yanking hard backward!

Ma Hongjun's body was instantly dragged downward, landing directly in front of Xiao Wu.

"First Soul Skill: Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu shouted softly and kicked Ma Hongjun in the stomach with both feet, sending him directly into the air.

Xiao Wu leaped up, lifting herself off the ground, and kicked Ma Hongjun straight in the waist.

Ma Hongjun felt pain everywhere—his jaw, neck, stomach, and waist!

Before he could beg for mercy, Xiao Wu folded and flung him, sending his entire body soaring through the air as if riding the clouds.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, landed perfectly, showing off her long legs.

As Ma Hongjun was about to fall from the sky, Xiao Wu took a running step and jumped up to meet his descending body.

Her feet accurately clamped around his waist. With a twist of her slim waist, she spun once in midair and hurled Ma Hongjun straight at the ground.

"Bang—!"

With a dull thud, Ma Hongjun crashed solidly onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He clutched the back of his head, his vision darkening as he failed to recover for a long while.

Xiao Wu stood beside him, dusted off her hands, and put her hands on her hips.

"Well? Do you know you were wrong now?"

Ma Hongjun struggled into a sitting position, grimacing as he rubbed the back of his head. There was now a hint of wariness in his gaze toward Xiao Wu.

"You rabbit... you hit way too hard!"

"Hmph, you were the one who attacked first. Sister Xiao Wu isn't someone to be trifled with! Well? Are you convinced now?"

Xiao Wu raised her chin, her eyes carrying a touch of pride.

"Not convinced! You little rabbit, I just wasn't prepared. If I got serious, you might not be a match for me!"

Ma Hongjun climbed to his feet, rubbing his aching jaw and lower back as he stubbornly retorted. Yet the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily—the blow just now had really hurt.

"Not convinced? Then Sister Xiao Wu will specialize in curing the unconvinced today!"

As Xiao Wu spoke, she raised her foot to kick him again, her toes already glowing with faint Soul Power.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun also flared up. His cheeks puffed out as purplish-red flames gathered in his mouth once more.

The scorching aura made the surrounding air faintly hot. He was clearly about to get serious.

Just as the two were at each other's throats, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Stop it, both of you! This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

Dai Mubai ran between them and stopped the two from fighting.

"Hey, Dai Mubai, what do you mean? Why are you stopping me?"

"That's right, Dai Laoda! Today, I'm definitely going to teach this little rabbit a lesson!"

"Xiao Wu, Fatty, listen to me. This is all a misunderstanding!"

"Hmph, Dai Laoda, what misunderstanding could there be? This little bitch actually called my Martial Soul a country chicken!"

"That's enough, Fatty. Say no more. Xiao Wu is a new student at our academy!"

"Xiao Wu, he's Ma Hongjun. He's also a student of our academy."

"You're all from the same academy. You'll be seeing each other every day from now on, so just talk things out. Why fight?"

Xiao Wu snorted coldly at Dai Mubai. "If he hadn't been bullying a girl here just now, I wouldn't have fought him!"

"Uh, well..."

Dai Mubai did not know how to explain it either and stammered without managing to say anything.

"Uh, Xiao Wu, you misunderstood. That girl from earlier is actually Ma Hongjun's girlfriend!"

"Girlfriend?"

"Yeah. That girl named Cuihua really is Fatty's girlfriend."

"Fatty's Martial Soul mutated. After his country chicken Martial Soul mutated, it gained Evil Fire, and his desires became stronger than those of ordinary people!"

"Hey, Dai Laoda, what country chicken? I'm a Phoenix! Even if everyone in my family has country chicken Martial Souls, mine is still a Phoenix Martial Soul—the Evil Fire Phoenix!"

Hearing Dai Mubai call his Martial Soul a country chicken, Ma Hongjun spoke up in protest.

Dai Mubai shot Ma Hongjun a look.

"Yes, his Martial Soul did indeed become a Phoenix after mutating."

However, after mutating, his Martial Soul gained a flaw: his desires became too strong, and he needed to vent them regularly."

"So Fatty is rather frequent when it comes to men and women. That situation was probably because the girl couldn't take it anymore!"

After hearing Dai Mubai's explanation, Xiao Wu and the others finally understood what they had seen earlier.

"So, Xiao Wu, this was a misunderstanding. Fatty and I have some matters to deal with, so we'll be leaving first!"

Dai Mubai dragged Ma Hongjun off to one side.

After that little incident ended, Su Yu and the others headed toward the plaza of Shrek Academy.

They had arrived early. The others had not come yet, and Flender was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that there was still time, Su Yu took several chairs out of his Soul Tool.
