Ma Hongjun Gets Taught a Lesson, Hu Liena Storms into Shrek Academy-Are We Even Playing Anymore?

He circled above the arena, eventually evolving into a Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix.

With a long, piercing cry, it carried the terrifying might of an ancient rare breed.

In an instant, it enveloped the entire Shrek Academy Square.

Everyone's Martial Souls trembled, except Lin Feng's.

They quivered as if suppressed by some unseen force.

At the same time, the Soul Power aura around Ma Hongjun

leaped from Level 49 to the Level 50 bottleneck.

The Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix Martial Soul circling in the air merged into his body,

transforming into his fifth Soul Ring.

A Soul Ring, deep black with a hint of red, rose around him.

Its age had astonishingly reached 90,000 years.

Such a breathtaking, unbelievable sight

left everyone in the square pale-faced and speechless with shock.

Yet the Phoenix Pill's medicinal effects had not ended.

They continued to drive Ma Hongjun's Soul Power higher.

It finally stopped rising when he reached Level 55.

The flames gradually faded, and the Soul Ring withdrew.

Ma Hongjun clenched his fists, a sharp glint rising in his eyes.

Compared to before, he looked a little more handsome.

His aura had surged several times over.

At that moment, standing on the arena, he became the center of everyone's attention.

Quite a few young female students below the arena gazed at him with admiration.

Ma Hongjun let out a long breath.

He carefully felt the changes in his body, his face alight with joy.

Taking several quick steps, he reached the cushion and dropped to his knees.

He kowtowed three times with a loud thump and said gratefully:

"Ma Hongjun thanks Senior for bestowing the Phoenix Pill!"

"Not only did it purge the impurities within my Evil Fire Phoenix!"

"It evolved my Martial Soul into a Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix!"

"I became an ancient rare breed, and my strength broke through to Soul King!"

"And on top of that, I gained a 90,000-year Soul Ring!"

"Senior, from this day forward, you're my second parents!"

"Ma Hongjun is willing to serve you like an ox or a horse and repay your kindness!"

Everyone was moved by Ma Hongjun's excitement.

His Martial Soul's impurities had been purged, and it had evolved.

He'd obtained a 90,000-year Soul Ring, and his Soul Power had surged by six levels.

With benefits this enormous, who wouldn't be willing to call someone their father?

They'd even acknowledge them as an ancestor or offer themselves in marriage.

It was enough to make anyone green with envy, but Lucky Star Feather was impossible to come by.

Ma Hongjun and Hu Liena had both received C- ratings.

But now, it was hard to say which was more valuable: the Phoenix Pill or the God-Given Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

The Phoenix Pill's strengths were that it could evolve a Martial Soul, grant a 90,000-year Soul Ring, and raise Soul Power.

The God-Given Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring's advantage was that it could be given to someone else and absorbed at any time.

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly.

He hoped that when he took on the Star Official Challenge later,

he'd also receive a pill that could fix his Martial Soul's flaw.

Then he could shake off the slander of being called useless and hold his head high again.

Seeing the change in Ma Hongjun,

Flender's old eyes reddened, and he hugged Zhao Wuji beside him and burst into tears.

He was incredibly relieved. The flaw in the little fatty's Martial Soul had finally been resolved.

On the arena, Lin Feng looked down at Ma Hongjun, who was kneeling before him,

weeping and wailing as if calling for his father, and said:

"Ma Hongjun, you earned the Phoenix Pill through the Star Official Challenge."

"It was awarded based on the damage rating you achieved yourself."

"No need to thank me. Get up."

But Ma Hongjun didn't get up.

Instead, he crawled over on his knees and grabbed one of Lin Feng's crossed legs.

He hugged it tightly and pleaded pitifully:

"Senior, Ma Hongjun lost both his parents when he was young."

"Dean Flender took me in, and I grew up at Shrek Academy."

"Dean Flender raised me like a son."

"I'd like to beg Senior to give Dean Flender a chance to take the Star Official Challenge too."

"If you agree, Ma Hongjun is willing to serve you forever."

"I'll serve tea and water, do the laundry and cook!"

"I'll work without complaint, on call twenty-four hours a day..."

But before he could finish his nonsense,

Lin Feng kicked him away with a dark expression.

Lin Feng snapped, "Get lost!"

Then he waved his right hand.

The mysterious power of the formation blasted the big fatty off the arena.

Shrek Academy's dean, Flender, flew over from a tall building.

Although Ma Hongjun hadn't won him the chance to take the Star Official Challenge,

the gesture alone had moved him deeply. Overcome with emotion, he said:

"Hongjun, you little fatty."

"At least you've got some filial piety in you. I, Flender, didn't dote on you for nothing!"

"Tomorrow, go to the Finance Department and collect a year's wages!"

"And remember to visit the brothels less. They'll ruin your health..."

Flender reached the edge of the arena and hurried over to help Ma Hongjun up.

But a group of young female students got there first.

They rushed forward together, crowding around Ma Hongjun and calling out eagerly:

"Senior Ma, are you all right?"

"Are you hurt? Oh, my heart aches for you!"

"Come rest against your junior's chest..."

"You shameless bitch, get out of the way!"

"Senior Ma, my arms are more comfortable. Come here..."

The area below the arena descended into chaos.

The sight left everyone's jaws on the floor.

The Soul Masters who'd come to watch and the teachers and students of Shrek Academy were all dumbfounded.

Only Ma Hongjun, surrounded by the gentle embrace of his junior students, was over the moon.

His grin stretched from ear to ear. He'd never imagined he could be so popular.

At that moment, the little fatty felt his life reach its peak, its climax.

What a rush!

Just then, high above them,

on the "Attack" Challenge Stele,

Hu Liena had dropped to second place.

Ma Hongjun had taken the top spot.

Chapter 20: Ma Hongjun Gets Taught a Lesson, Hu Liena Storms into Shrek Academy—Are We Even Playing Anymore?

On the cushion at the center of the arena,

Lin Feng watched Ma Hongjun being surrounded by a crowd of young female students

and deeply regretted letting that lecher take the Star Official Challenge.

He hadn't even gotten to enjoy treatment like that.

It was almost worse than being killed.

But then he thought of those female students' looks and figures.

They couldn't compare to Hu Liena at all.

That immediately restored his balance.

Sometimes more wasn't better. Quality mattered.

Below the arena, Flender's face darkened.

He shouted coldly:

"What kind of behavior is this!"

"Back off!"

"Stop making fools of yourselves!"

The female students were badly startled and hurried back to their original places.

Ma Hongjun looked reluctant to let them go.

His junior students' arms had been soft and fragrant.

He hadn't had enough yet.

But when he turned around, he saw Flender's icy expression.
