[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: But before you start your missions, allow me to reveal one more new piece of information.]
Everyone was startled and asked what it was.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: This concerns your class schedule at Shrek Academy tomorrow.]
[First Cute Bunny: Tomorrow's classes? Group Owner, big brother, you even know that?]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: I know a little.]
Ye Qiong chuckled to himself. He had only just discovered the triple Emotion Point bonus that came with the group chat's upgrade. Could it be that every time the group chat leveled up, the bonus would increase by another multiple?
That would be fantastic!
[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: Wow! Then hurry up and spill!]
[I Am Not Yanzi: Group Owner, stop dragging your feet and give us the good stuff!]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: All right, the video's coming right up. I've split it into four parts this time. We'll watch them one at a time and discuss them as we go.]
After speaking, Ye Qiong sent the first video to the group.
[Ding! Group Owner "Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero" uploaded a video file: <Shrek's First Lesson: The Troubles of the Evil Fire Phoenix>]
The video lit up, showing the grounds outside Shrek Academy in the early morning.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were hurrying after a fat boy. He was Ma Hongjun, whom they had seen in an earlier video.
[First Cute Bunny: Huh? Is that me and Tang San? Why are we chasing that fat guy?]
In the video, Blue Silver Grass suddenly appeared from nowhere and wrapped around Tang San's legs. A sharp sting and numbness spread through his limbs, bringing him to an abrupt halt.
Ma Hongjun was startled. His second Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and purple flames swept over his body, burning away the Blue Silver Grass.
"I'll handle him."
Xiao Wu called out. Her rabbit ears quivered as she released all her Soul Power and charged straight at him.
Tang San gripped the Hidden Weapon at his waist, his Purple Demon Eye fixed on the fight as he stood ready to provide support.
Seeing Xiao Wu charge, Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and spat out a thick stream of fire, blocking her path.
[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: That fat guy really doesn't know how to treat a lady!]
[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Hmph, men are all the same.]
But Ma Hongjun's thoughts in the video were laid bare for everyone to hear: "That little rabbit is so cute. I'll teach her a lesson, but I'd better not really hurt her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stream of fire he spat out quietly weakened.
Xiao Wu keenly noticed that he was holding back. Her lips curled into a faint smile, and she decided to leave him a little dignity, too.
Just as Ma Hongjun thought Xiao Wu was bound to get hit, she twisted her body sharply and slipped through a gap in the flames. In an instant, she closed in behind him.
[Heavenly King Covers Earth Fox: Wow! Xiao Wu's footwork is incredible!]
Xiao Wu circled behind Ma Hongjun, braced both hands against the ground, and clamped her feet around his neck. Her first Soul Skill, "Waist Bow," activated, flinging him straight into the air.
With a dull thud, Ma Hongjun crashed heavily to the ground, dazed and reeling.
Just then, a plainly dressed young woman hurried over. It was Cuihua. She quickly helped Ma Hongjun up and asked anxiously, "Are you all right?"
Ma Hongjun grunted. "I'm not dead yet. Little rabbit, come again."
Xiao Wu jumped in place, kicking off the shoe spattered with purple flames. She stood barefoot, as the purple flames clung stubbornly to the shoe and proved difficult to extinguish.
Seeing this, Cuihua hurried forward and pleaded, "Please, stop fighting! Hongjun really is a good person. We just weren't right for each other, so I had to break up with him. Please go. I'll explain things to him."
Ma Hongjun snapped, "Stay out of my business! Move!"
He shoved Cuihua aside and started toward Xiao Wu again, though he refrained from using his second Soul Skill with Cuihua there.
Just then, Dai Mubai's voice rang out. "Tang San, Fatty, what are you doing?"
He hurried over in white robes. Seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help laughing. "Xiao Wu, I think you've misunderstood. Miss Cuihua, have you had enough of him, too?"
Cuihua blushed, nodded, and turned to run.
Ma Hongjun immediately lost his temper. His expression fell, and he didn't chase after her.
Tang San went over to Dai Mubai and asked in confusion, "What exactly is going on?"
Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun. "Are you going to explain it yourself, or should I?"
Ma Hongjun glanced at him and lowered his head. "You explain."
Dai Mubai laughed. "Fatty is the third student at our academy. His Martial Soul is a Mutated Evil Fire Phoenix. It's powerful, but it has a fatal flaw."
Ma Hongjun immediately retorted, "Bullshit! Your Martial Soul is the chicken! Mine's a phoenix!"
Dai Mubai ignored him and continued explaining. "The mutation gave him powerful Soul Power, but it also affected his body. It made him extremely potent in that department, and ten times as impulsive as an ordinary person. If he only suppresses it without venting it, that Evil Fire could strike at any time and make him explode."
Ma Hongjun hurriedly added, "Once the Evil Fire flares up, I can't hold it back!"
Xiao Wu frowned. "But that doesn't mean you can take advantage of girls. That's just being a lecher."
Ma Hongjun snapped, "What do you mean, take advantage? It was always mutual! I've never forced anyone. I'm no lecher!"
Dai Mubai nodded in confirmation. "That's true. Fatty never forces anyone, and Miss Cuihua really was his girlfriend."
[I Am Not Yanzi: Pfft! What the heck? A Mutated Martial Soul like that exists?]
[Begonia Blossoms: His ability in that department... is extremely strong? And he's ten times as impulsive as an ordinary person? I'm dying. Isn't he just a walking teddy bear?]
[I Am Not Swallow: What a lousy excuse! Evil Fire Phoenix? I say it's an Evil Fire chicken!]
[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: So he changes girlfriends all the time and does it three or four times a day... Oh my god, what girl could put up with that?]
[No Petting Cats: Disgusting.]
Zhu Zhuqing delivered her verdict in a few terse words.
[Most Beautiful Pope: Martial Soul mutations can indeed have all kinds of effects. But blaming one's own desires and indulgence entirely on a flaw in one's Martial Soul is nothing more than an excuse made by someone with weak willpower.]
Bibi Dong's assessment struck the heart of the matter.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: His Holiness the Pope is right. It's time for a scathing review!]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Ma Hongjun is nothing but a hopeless loser held back by his "Evil Fire." It's the perfect fig leaf for him. Every lecherous act, every time he can't keep it in his pants, he blames on a flaw in his Martial Soul.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: He's the one with rotten morals and weak willpower, yet he makes it sound as tragic as a terminal illness, leaving the whole academy to clean up after him. "Evil Fire Phoenix"? More like "Evil Fire Teddy"!]
Ye Qiong's scathing review set the group chat ablaze.
[Ding! 150 Emotion Points from Pagoda Suppresses River Demon for agreeing.]
[Ding! 120 Emotion Points from I Am Not Yanzi for amusement.]
[Ding! 180 Emotion Points from Fire-Breathing Dragon for disdain.]
