"Yu Xiaolong! You have no respect for your elders! Looks like our Shrek Academy will have no choice but to teach you a lesson today!"
Yu Xiaogang pointed at Yu Xiaolong and berated him.
He had never imagined—
that he would run into his good-for-nothing younger brother here!
"Hmm?"
Ma Hongjun recognized Shui Bing'er at a glance.
He immediately started drooling.
His eyes were full of hearts.
Rubbing his hands together, he said, "Grandmaster, the motto of our Shrek Academy is 'Those who don't dare cause trouble are good-for-nothings!' How about I take on this senior and see how much he's got?"
With that,
he puffed out his chest
and swaggered forward.
"Hmm?"
Huo Wu, standing behind him, heard that
and immediately took offense.
So there was another chubby guy who was asking for a beating.
With that,
she clapped her hands. "Hey, old man, let me handle this. I've been wanting to warm up."
"Be careful. Don't hurt him too badly."
Yu Xiaolong replied calmly.
Huo Wu was Level 43.
As for Ma Hongjun,
Yu Xiaolong estimated
he had only just reached Level 40 at most.
And here,
there wasn't a single person
whose level was higher than Yu Xiaolong's.
So he made up his mind.
Since the members of the Shrek Team were practically begging to get themselves killed,
he couldn't be blamed for what happened next.
"Don't hurt him too badly?"
Hearing Yu Xiaolong's rather arrogant remark,
Yu Xiaogang laughed in anger. "Ma Hongjun, don't hold back!"
This battle
was a battle for Yu Xiaogang's dignity.
Back then, he had invited Yu Xiaolong to leave the mountain with him,
but Yu Xiaolong had refused.
Years had passed.
Now that they had met again,
Yu Xiaogang hadn't expected his brother to have taken on disciples, too.
So,
this battle meant a great deal to him.
Ma Hongjun was dumbstruck.
He'd thought Shui Bing'er was already beautiful enough.
But when Huo Wu appeared,
she stole his very soul.
The hearts in his eyes practically leaped out.
"Hey, beautiful, how about we get to know each other..."
Seeing the lecherous look on Ma Hongjun's face,
Huo Wu's brows furrowed slightly.
Then she put her hands on her hips. "Sure. Leave one eye behind."
"Hmph!"
At that, Ma Hongjun's expression changed at once.
She continued, "Feisty little beauty, aren't you? But that's fine. I'll beat you in a bit, then take you home to be my wife."
With that,
he clapped his hands
and released his Martial Soul Rings.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!
Four rings appeared before their eyes.
"Level 40 Soul Ancestor!"
Huo Wu recognized his level.
Seeing Huo Wu's momentary surprise,
Ma Hongjun's sense of superiority surged. "Heh, what do you think? Let your big brother teach you a thing or two."
With that,
he immediately used his first Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!
Outside the spirit-fighting arena,
Yu Xiaogang was watching the match.
Beside him, Dai Mubai asked, "Grandmaster, can Fatty win?"
"Of course. Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is the Mutated Martial Soul, Evil Fire Phoenix. It's naturally superior to Huo Wu's Fire Shadow Martial Soul. Challenging Fatty to a fire-attribute attack is practically asking to die."
Yu Xiaogang wore a confident expression.
Oscar said from nearby, "In that case, we're in for a good show. Heh."
The members of Shrek Academy
all looked ready to enjoy the spectacle.
After all,
ever since they'd made their debut,
they had never met a worthy opponent.
What's more,
back in Suotuo City,
they had once swept aside the Imperial Fighting Team, who had come all the way from Heaven Dou Imperial City!
That had filled every one of them with absolute confidence.
"Release your Martial Soul!"
On the other side,
facing Ma Hongjun's fierce charge—
especially the way his lecherous gaze
was fixed on her chest—
Huo Wu's killing intent flared.
She bared her canines.
"First Soul Skill: Fire Dragon Break!"
Fire Dragon Break was a single-target flame attack that inflicted burning and slightly slowed its target!
"Second Soul Skill: Fire Thorn!"
"Third Soul Skill: Resistance Fire Ring!"
Huo Wu's fiery temper
made her release three Soul Skills in an instant.
Ma Hongjun was caught completely off guard.
"Huh!? So fast?"
"Damn it!"
Ma Hongjun was caught at a disadvantage,
but he refused to accept it.
He patted the flames on his body, his face livid.
"Such a beauty with such a bad temper. Keep it up and no one will want you. But don't worry—your future husband wants you!"
The fat guy kept running his mouth,
but his hands never stopped moving.
He was about to release his third Soul Skill!
"Third Soul Skill: Phoenix Wings Soaring!"
Phoenix Wings Soaring—
Ma Hongjun transformed into a pair of fiery red wings.
Then, in midair,
he attacked Huo Wu.
"It's one of Ma Hongjun's strongest attacks."
"Go, Fatty!"
"This is a foregone conclusion. Fatty's in the air, so he has an absolute advantage."
The members of the Shrek Team
started celebrating ahead of time.
However,
Huo Wu watched Ma Hongjun swagger around in the air.
She rose to her feet and brushed off her hands.
"Heh, little beauty, giving up already? I really can't bear to lay a hand on a pretty flower..."
Yu Xiaolong could only shake his head inwardly.
This damned fatty—
he probably had no idea
what kind of opponent he was facing.
"Teacher, Huo Wu, she..."
Shui Bing'er watched from the sidelines.
She couldn't help speaking up.
But
before she could finish,
Huo Wu said in a sweet voice, "Since you're so determined to fly up there, I'll bring you back down!"
With that,
she released her Second Martial Soul.
The Lion Star Dragon Martial Soul!
Boom!
As her voice fell, a phantom lion appeared on the spot.
Its roar shook the heavens.
On the other side,
Yu Xiaogang looked shocked. "This is..."
"Her Martial Soul changed!"
Dai Mubai and the others' expressions shifted.
"Gangzi, aren't you supposed to be an expert in Soul Master theory? How come you can't even recognize Twin Martial Souls?"
Yu Xiaolong's mocking voice rang out.
Yu Xiaolong's words
sent a stone crashing into a calm lake.
Everyone was stunned. "Impossible! How could there be a third person with Twin Martial Souls!?"
Yu Xiaogang blurted out.
Yu Xiaolong's gaze sharpened. "So your Shrek Academy has someone with Twin Martial Souls, too?"
Whoosh!
Their biggest secret had been exposed.
Yu Xiaogang panicked. "Y-you're talking nonsense!"
He pointed at Yu Xiaolong.
Yu Xiaolong, who knew the story inside out,
looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he were an idiot.
"Let me guess. Was it Tang San? But that Tang San was such a good-for-nothing. Last time, I shot him full of holes with one arrow."
Yu Xiaolong shook his head.
That tone
sounded
deeply sarcastic to Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai said, "Grandmaster, was it him who injured Little San last time!?"
"Hmph! So what if he has Twin Martial Souls? Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix is a top-grade mutated Beast Martial Soul!"
"Ordinary fire-attribute Martial Souls are no match for him!"
As soon as Yu Xiaogang said that,
Yu Xiaolong could barely hold it together.
"If ordinary fire-attribute Martial Souls can't beat his Evil Fire Phoenix, then just send someone extraordinary, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
Yu Xiaolong had spoken too quickly.
His mind was sluggish.
For a moment, he couldn't quite follow.
In the middle of the battlefield,
Huo Wu watched Ma Hongjun flying through the air.
