The Overbearing Divine King Fell in Love With Me?

Once a person has an epiphany, it is truly remarkable.

A new perspective is a powerful tool; Ma Hongjun didn't usually scheme, but once he started, his thoughts truly snowballed.

In a flash of inspiration, he even figured out a way to secure a second opportunity.

He and the Dean certainly didn't have money, but that didn't mean others didn't!

Ning Rongrong and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Admittedly, aside from Martial Soul Hall, they could be called the wealthiest sect on the continent.

However, given their current lack of strength, cooperating rashly with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be dangerous. With Ning Fengzhi's personality, it would be a miracle if they weren't swallowed whole, bones and all; how could they be so easily exploited?

Others might not know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but Ma Hongjun had seen the methods of Gu Rong and Chen Xin.

Those two were nothing but gangsters!

Fortunately, even without cooperating with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there were others!

"Blue Tyrant Academy!"

Thinking of Liu Erlong, Ma Hongjun, who had been in a "sage mode" just moments ago, couldn't help but feel a stir of excitement at the thought of such a mature older sister.

Unfortunately, she was a bit too violent; not really his type.

The Dean liked her, but unfortunately, Liu Erlong didn't like him back.

"Dean, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the pleasure those two seek is too intense; you simply can't handle it!"

Regardless of the private lives of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, for Ma Hongjun, the fact that they had money was all that mattered.

After all, Liu Erlong owned a high-level Soul Master Academy.

In this day and age, very few people who could afford to run an academy were short on cash.

First, use a letter to lure Yu Xiaogang over, and once the Grandmaster arrived, wouldn't Liu Erlong be within his grasp?

"This is what you call using a hen to lay eggs!"

After finishing his deliberations, just as Ma Hongjun pulled up his pants and prepared to find Flender to discuss the plan, his arm was blocked by the madam.

"Twice, and you're a regular, so let's call it two Gold Soul Coins!"

"Damn, is there a diamond embedded down there? You're a regular and you're pulling this on me? Do you think I don't know the going rate around here? Sixty Copper Soul Coins, not a penny more. I, your Master Ma, deal in hundreds of Gold Soul Coins by the minute; do you think you can scam me?"

"..."

These days, there really is no tax on bragging.

He couldn't even cough up two Gold Soul Coins, yet he was bragging about dealing in hundreds of Gold Soul Coins by the minute?

"Fine, my bad luck, sixty it is... why is there only fifty?!"

"Oh, come on, we're regulars, you know how rounding works, right? If you keep talking, I'm going to round this fifty down to nothing!"

Meanwhile, in the kitchen of Shrek Academy.

Unlike the resentful and calculating Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, after Oscar recovered his memories as a god, his heart wasn't filled with bitterness or deep-seated hatred, but rather an overflowing sense of urgency and tenderness.

After all, among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Oscar was the true winner in life!

Born humble, he had relied on his own efforts to win the heart of the apple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's eye, Ning Rongrong, and had even ascended to the godhood of the God of Food, living eternally with the Nine-Colored Goddess—a life of perfection with no regrets.

To put it bluntly, as the only food-type soul master with Innate Full Soul Power in thousands of years, even without anyone else, Oscar's achievements would not have been mediocre.

A Title Douluo was the baseline; if he were lucky, the moment he achieved Title Douluo, he could trigger the God of Food's divine trials!

Of course, if he were even luckier and had a richer life experience, he might even trigger the trials of the God of Emotions, Rong Nianbing.

After all, that man was also a cook—a cook from another world!

Therefore, unlike the calculating Ma Hongjun, what Oscar thought of at this moment was never opportunities, power, or godhood.

There was only one person—Ning Rongrong!

"According to my memories, I don't even need to do anything; I just need to wait six years at Shrek Academy to see Rongrong, but..."

Rather than waiting idly at Shrek Academy, it was better to take the initiative!

The desire to see his wife was already impossible to suppress.

Oscar didn't hesitate much; he packed his few belongings, went straight to Flender to ask for leave, using the excuse of hunting for a soul ring and taking the opportunity to travel.

Although Flender was a bit suspicious, seeing the determination in Oscar's eyes, he couldn't refuse and nodded helplessly, urging him to be careful.

However, after leaving Shrek Academy, Oscar did not head toward the Soul Hunting Forest; instead, he turned and rushed in the direction of Tiandou City.

His goal was clear—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

It wasn't exactly a betrayal of Shrek Academy.

According to the rules of the continent, academy students are free to join other sects after graduation.

In his past life, Oscar had actually joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a short period after participating in the Soul Fighting Tournament.

However, in this life, he intended to find Ning Rongrong early and stay by her side to protect her.

He wanted to win her heart sooner, settle their future earlier, and never again endure the long wait and numerous setbacks of his previous life.

As for the sect rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...

For an auxiliary-system soul master, they were indeed difficult to overcome, but for someone who had once been a god, bypassing them was not difficult at all!

Covered in the dust of his journey, Oscar was filled with joy as he headed straight toward his beloved.

The one thing Oscar overlooked, however, was that without the assistance of Tang San, a soul master like him might not necessarily catch the eye of Ning Fengzhi!

Meanwhile, at Nuoding Academy.

Qin Yun had arrived quietly from Holy Soul Village. Upon learning that Tang San and the others were in class, he had intended to just catch a glimpse of them and leave.

Unexpectedly, the moment he returned to the academy, he ran head-on into Yu Xiaogang, who was waiting at the entrance with an anxious expression.

Yu Xiaogang looked up, saw Qin Yun, froze for a moment, and then blurted out.

"Qin Yun? You aren't dead!"

After the previous commotion, Gangzi had been certain that Qin Yun, having offended Tang Hao, would surely meet a miserable end.

This was the very reason Gangzi had been guarding the academy entrance for the past few days.

He was waiting for Tang Hao!

Once news of Qin Yun's death arrived, he could take control of Tang San and use the boy's talent to prove his own theories.

Yet, what Gangzi never expected was that Qin Yun would return completely unscathed!

What was going on? Did the Clear Sky Douluo miss his mark? That couldn't be right, could it?

As for Qin Yun killing Tang Hao in return...

That was the one possibility Gangzi had never even considered.

As the continent's universally recognized master of theory, no one knew better than Gangzi just how powerful a Title Douluo was. (Self-proclaimed)

Even among the Title Douluo, where experts gathered, Tang Hao was far from weak, having once been one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars.

A mere six-year-old child—even if Qin Yun possessed some natural talent—how could he possibly be a match for Tang Hao?

"Perhaps he was delayed by something; the Clear Sky Douluo must have gone elsewhere, right?"

After staring at the system for a long time and discovering that this "Dragon God Douluo" had not triggered any quests, Qin Yun couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind.

To the current him, Yu Xiaogang was nothing more than an insignificant clown, not worth mentioning.

He entered the academy, went straight to find Tang San, and called him out to the back garden.

It was an unexpected delight; after this period of interaction, Tang God King's favorability had quietly climbed to 76 points without him even realizing it.

It seemed that the Tang God King of the Douluo I era was still an honest person; if anything, he had been the one treating the boy a bit too harshly.
