Seeing Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy at daggers drawn, ready to strike at any moment.
The other diners and the proprietor in the restaurant scrambled to their feet in terror, scrambling and crawling as they fled outside.
"Quick, run!
The Lord Soul Masters are about to fight, don't get caught in the crossfire!"
In the blink of an eye, the once-bustling lobby was completely empty.
Only at a corner table by the window did Huang Yan and Shui Bing'er remain seated, motionless, even continuing to sip their tea leisurely.
This display of nonchalance, falling into the eyes of Ma Hongjun, instantly set him ablaze with fury.
He felt that these two were looking down on them, Shrek.
"Hey!
You two over there!"
Ma Hongjun pointed at Huang Yan's back, shouting arrogantly:
"Are you blind or deaf?
Don't you see that Young Master here has business to attend to?
Get lost already, stop acting like you're something special!"
Huang Yan, with his back to him, didn't even turn his head, continuing to pick food for Shui Bing'er.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun grew even angrier, cursing as he strode forward:
"Damn it, you don't know when you're well off, do you? Today, Young Master will..."
However, as he approached and saw Shui Bing'er sitting opposite Huang Yan, he froze in his tracks.
His lecherous little eyes widened, staring straight at Shui Bing'er's stunningly beautiful face.
After being scared off by Azure Luan Douluo last time, Flender had gone back and specifically investigated Shui Bing'er's background.
Upon learning that Shui Bing'er came from Skywater Academy and possessed the top-tier Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, Flender had privately cautioned Ma Hongjun.
"Hongjun, that girl has a rare Ice Phoenix Martial Soul!
You are the Evil Fire Phoenix; one ice and one fire—if you can win her over, you are highly likely to unlock a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
By then, that problem of your evil fire backlash might be completely resolved!"
Thinking of Flender's words, Ma Hongjun's heart suddenly burned with heat.
Even without that nonsense Martial Soul Fusion Skill, just based on this woman's peerless beauty, if he could get his hands on her, it would be an absolute steal!
Ma Hongjun immediately put on a lecherous smile he thought was dashing.
He ignored Huang Yan, who still had his back to him, and leaned toward the table, rubbing his hands together:
"Hehe, beauty, we really are fated, running into each other here again!"
"I heard you have an Ice Phoenix Martial Soul?
What a coincidence, Brother here is a Fire Phoenix!
With one ice and one fire, this is clearly a match made in heaven, a perfect pair!"
Shui Bing'er's pretty face turned cold, her eyes filled with disgust as she said icily:
"Get lost."
Ma Hongjun didn't retreat; instead, he smiled even more obscenely:
"Oh, quite a spicy temper!
Brother here likes you thorny ones!"
Ma Hongjun glanced at Huang Yan, who remained with his back to him, and curled his lip in disdain:
"Beauty, what future is there in following a coward who doesn't even dare to show his face or let out a peep?"
"Why not follow Brother here instead?
Let's find a room tonight and have a good 'in-depth exchange' about that Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I guarantee you'll be satisfied..."
"You are courting death."
The temperature around Shui Bing'er plummeted, and ice-blue soul power was already condensing in her palm.
Just then, Huang Yan slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Ma Hongjun as if looking at a corpse.
"Fatty, it's been a few days, and your ability to spew manure from that mouth of yours has certainly improved.
Who did you just say you wanted to have an 'in-depth exchange' with?"
Seeing Huang Yan's face, which held a faint, mocking smile, the lecherous grin on Ma Hongjun's face instantly stiffened, and he instinctively took two steps back in fear.
The terrifying pressure from Azure Luan Douluo last time remained a psychological shadow to this day.
"It... it's you?!"
Ma Hongjun swallowed hard, his heart instantly turning cowardly.
However, Ma Hongjun caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others not far away.
At this moment, the Shrek group and the members of Canghui Academy had also ceased their arguing and were all staring straight in this direction.
Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth, feeling that if he were to back down and apologize in front of so many people, how would he ever be able to hold his head high in the academy again?
Boss Dai and the others were all watching!
"You... don't you get cocky!"
Ma Hongjun braced himself, shouting with a fierce expression that barely masked his inner cowardice.
"Last time it was your teacher who was impressive, not you!
Today, my brothers from Shrek are all here, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Huang Yan looked at the feigning Ma Hongjun, his eyes turning completely cold.
"I spared your life last time because I thought you were nothing more than an ant I could crush at will, and I didn't want to dirty my hands.
But since you are determined to seek death today, then I shall grant your wish."
Huang Yan had no interest in dragging things out with such trash.
Huang Yan slowly stood up, and a sacred, scorching aura suddenly erupted from his body.
"Screech--!"
Accompanied by a clear phoenix cry, a brilliant and dazzling Radiant Phoenix phantom emerged behind Huang Yan, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
Immediately following, amidst the horrified gazes of everyone present, five soul rings slowly rose from beneath Huang Yan's feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black!
Those two ten-thousand-year soul rings, deep as ink, radiated a suffocating and terrifying pressure.
Under the suppression of this pure Radiant Phoenix bloodline, the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul within Ma Hongjun's body seemed to have encountered its natural predator.
It began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.
"Thud!"
Ma Hongjun's legs went weak, and he was actually forced to his knees by this bloodline pressure.
Cold sweat poured down his entire body, and he couldn't even mobilize a shred of soul power.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Ma Hongjun screamed in terror, his voice filled with profound despair.
On the other side, the Shrek group, who had been confronting Canghui Academy, were all struck as if by lightning, staring fixedly at the soul rings beneath Huang Yan's feet.
"Five... five soul rings?
A Soul King?!"
Dai Mubai gasped, his prideful evil eyes filled with disbelief.
"He looks like he's only a year or two older than me, how could he be a Soul King?!"
Tang San's pupils constricted, his gaze locked onto those two black soul rings, his voice trembling:
"The fourth soul ring is already at the ten-thousand-year level... how is this possible?
This completely shatters the soul ring absorption limit theory proposed by Teacher!"
Huang Yan looked down at the kneeling Ma Hongjun, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on such trash.
Since this fat pig had nothing but women on his mind to vent his fire, then today he would completely sever those thoughts and ensure he spent the rest of his life as a eunuch!
At the same time, he would cripple that prideful martial soul of his, ensuring he could never be a soul master again!
Feeling the undisguised killing intent radiating from Huang Yan, Ma Hongjun's desperate will to survive overcame his fear.
He bit the tip of his tongue hard and roared:
"Evil Fire Phoenix, possess!"
Accompanied by a burst of purplish-red light, sparse purplish-red feathers sprouted all over Ma Hongjun's body.
His already round body instantly expanded, becoming even more bloated and ridiculous.
At the same time, two yellow hundred-year soul rings barely managed to rise beneath Ma Hongjun's feet.
