"What did you say?"
Ma Hongjun froze for a moment, seemingly unable to process it.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was icy. The other guy's gaze disgusted her, reminding her of Dai Mubai.
They were both filthy people!
Anyone who went to brothels was no good.
"You disgusting creep. Get lost!"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate for a second. She bluntly cursed him out.
Even Lin Ye was shocked.
Was Zhu Zhuqing really the type to act like this?
And she'd only just met Ma Hongjun. Why was she so hostile toward him?
Aside from Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong didn't have a good impression of Ma Hongjun either.
He'd only just broken up with someone, and now he was coming over to hit on them?
With that disgusting look on his face, it was obvious what he was after.
Now that Zhu Zhuqing had looked down on him again, Ma Hongjun flew into a rage.
Sure, she was a pretty girl, but how dare she insult him?
She was asking for it!
"Do you dare insult me? Believe it or not, I'll make you—"
Before he could finish, Lin Ye stepped forward and rested a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey. Can't we all get along, Little Fatty?"
Ma Hongjun's expression shifted.
The moment the other guy reached for him, he'd already tried to dodge.
But that hand was strangely uncanny, as if it had locked onto him completely. It still landed on his shoulder with ease.
What kind of monster was this guy?
"You... mind your own business, or I'll—"
"Ah!!! Ow, ow, ow! Let go! Let go!"
Ma Hongjun suddenly screamed.
Lin Ye squeezed the hand resting on his shoulder, making him feel as if his arm didn't even belong to him anymore.
"Does it hurt? Then something must be blocked. You should understand the principle: pain means blockage; when it flows freely, there's no pain."
"Want me to help loosen up those muscles and bones?"
Lin Ye spoke with complete seriousness.
Little Fatty, watch your filthy mouth!
They're beauties I brought along, after all. If you bully them, where does that leave my face?
That was what he really thought.
He liked watching the show, but now it was happening right in front of him.
He couldn't ignore it.
He was the one who'd told Zhao Wuji he'd bring them around to get familiar with the academy.
If they got bullied at the academy while he stood by and did nothing, how could he ever show his face again?
The three girls were a little surprised.
Didn't Lin Ye like to play the pig to eat the tiger?
Why was he making the first move now?
"Loosen up my ass! Let go already!!!"
Ma Hongjun glared, his body twisted in pain.
His shoulder was about to be crushed!
"You've got a foul mouth. You deserve a beating!"
A cold glint flashed through Xiao Wu's eyes. Without hesitation, she kicked him.
Bang!!!
Her foot struck Ma Hongjun in the stomach.
The tremendous force sent him flying more than ten meters. When he crashed to the ground, dust billowed everywhere.
Ma Hongjun felt as if his internal organs had knotted together. His face went pale with pain.
He lay face-down, clutching his stomach. But when he looked up, flames surged around him.
"How dare you hit me? You're dead!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he summoned the Evil Fire Phoenix.
Once he'd used his Martial Soul, his confidence seemed to come rushing back.
Especially when his two Hundred-Year Soul Rings appeared—he even stood up straighter.
The people in front of him were probably Soul Masters.
But his talent was terrifying. There probably wasn't anyone his age who could compare to him.
With the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, he could kill them in no time.
"Don't say I'm picking on you. I'll give you a chance to show your Martial Souls!"
Ma Hongjun puffed out his chest. "Kneel and apologize right now, then keep me company for a few days, and maybe I'll let you off. Otherwise, get ready to be crippled by me!"
A top-tier Beast Martial Soul, top-tier talent, and a twenty-eighth-level Soul Grandmaster.
He really did seem capable of it.
But a hint of amusement flashed through Xiao Wu's eyes as she slowly stepped forward.
"Show our Martial Souls? Settle this the way Soul Masters do?"
"Fine. Don't come crying and begging for mercy later."
As soon as she finished speaking, four Soul Rings appeared at once.
Two purple, two black!
When those four Soul Rings appeared, Ma Hongjun was dumbfounded.
In an instant, he turned obedient, standing there like a child caught misbehaving by a teacher.
Inside, he was completely falling apart.
Heaven knows, how could a monster like this exist?
A Four-Ring Soul Ancestor?
That had to be a joke!
And was that Soul Ring Configuration for real?
Although Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had seen Xiao Wu's Soul Rings before, they were still stunned.
That Soul Ring Configuration was practically invincible!
Seeing them, Lin Ye sighed inwardly.
Look at those gorgeous Soul Rings. Jealous? Come on, tell me you're jealous!
Every last one of them was raised by using my precious treasures!
That Hooligan Rabbit was ruthless. She nearly cleaned me out of all my good stuff. Luckily, I secretly stashed some away.
Xiao Wu's ears twitched. He still had good stuff hidden away?
Good. She'd find a chance to get her hands on it!
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were dumbfounded.
Was Xiao Wu's Soul Ring Configuration really all thanks to Lin Ye?
Could he increase the age of someone else's Soul Rings?
This guy really was mysterious!
"Don't worry, Little Fatty. At most, I'll break your legs."
Xiao Wu cracked her knuckles.
Ma Hongjun was only twenty-eight. She could crush him with ease!
"Y-you'd better not do anything reckless. This is Shrek Academy. I'm a student of Shrek. Don't you—"
He couldn't help taking several steps backward.
But Xiao Wu decisively used Teleportation. In an instant, she appeared beside him and drove an elbow into his chest, sending Ma Hongjun flying.
He couldn't even see how fast she was!
While he was still flying through the air, before he could react, Xiao Wu teleported beside him again.
She spun in midair, then slammed her right leg into Ma Hongjun's back with all her strength.
Bang!!!
Everyone heard the muffled impact loud and clear.
Ma Hongjun plummeted from the air like a shooting star and crashed heavily into the ground. He was dizzy all over, every bone in his body felt as if it had come apart, and he couldn't muster even the slightest strength.
Xiao Wu landed and gave a heavy snort.
"How dare you act up in front of Sister Xiao Wu? Do it again, and I'll kill you!"
Unfortunately, Ma Hongjun couldn't even muster the strength to answer. He lay there like a heap of rotten meat.
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted about as she picked up a stone from the ground.
She took aim and fired!
Smack!
The stone hit its target perfectly. Ma Hongjun, who'd been completely powerless, suddenly jolted upright as if he'd been injected with a dose of stimulants.
"Ooooh~"
He clamped both hands over his little brother, his eyes bulging as if they were about to fall out.
"It's... it's broken! It's broken~"
Ma Hongjun's lips turned completely white, and his eyes went vacant.
"Well, would you look at that. The chicken flew and the eggs shattered?" Lin Ye said with a grin, then gave Ning Rongrong a thumbs-up.
Brilliant!
The Little Demoness pulled off a slick move!
Ning Rongrong was pleased by his praise at first.
But what was that Little Demoness business?
She wasn't a little demoness!
That hateful bastard—why did he always misunderstand her so badly?
Ma Hongjun was truly desperate now.
It seemed his little brother had lost all its drive. How was he supposed to live the rest of his life?
In the midst of his grief and rage, he saw someone approaching. His eyes immediately lit up.
"Teacher Zhao! Teacher Zhao, help me! They—they're bullying me!"
