Ma Hongjun's Arrogance: How Dare He Fight Me for a Woman?

"You little thing..." Yue Guan wore a thoughtful expression.

"W-what is it?" Xiao Wu's voice trembled.

Yue Guan gently placed his slender hand on her shoulder and said softly, "There is no need to be so afraid; I do not slaughter the innocent without cause."

With that, Yue Guan walked forward once more.

Seeing Yue Guan depart, Xiao Wu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Twenty minutes later, all eight hundred students and faculty of the academy had been inspected by Yue Guan.

"Strange. Even if Tang Hao is not here, I clearly smelled the scent of that hundred-thousand-year spirit beast..."

"Could I have been mistaken?"

Yue Guan pondered, still unable to find the answer, but he waved his hand and led his team out of the academy gates.

"The target is not here. Follow me and withdraw!"

The two hundred Spirit Hall guards and over thirty spirit masters followed behind Yue Guan, striding away.

Seeing that Chrysanthemum Douluo had gone, Xiao Wu immediately grabbed Lin Hui's hand, pulled him into a corner, and demanded, "What did you do to me? Why couldn't he smell my aura?"

"And when did you find out I was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast?"

Lin Hui summoned his spirit, the Ultra Ball.

Just moments ago, when Lin Hui had brought Xiao Wu behind the teaching building, he had used his Ultra Ball spirit to capture her. It was her only chance at survival, and she had no choice but to agree.

"The true function of my Ultra Ball spirit is to capture spirit beasts, but it only works on those ten thousand years or older. Once captured, it can isolate the aura of a spirit beast that has taken human form. However, this isolation effect weakens as the spirit beast's strength increases."

"As it stands, at least at this current level, I can still protect you."

"From now on, you will follow me."

Lin Hui spoke with exceptional decisiveness.

"Hmph, who wants to follow you?" Xiao Wu pouted. "Who do you think you are?"

"If you don't want to, I won't force you. I'll go hand you over to that lord from earlier right now!" Lin Hui laughed, continuing to walk toward the teaching building.

"You jerk!" Xiao Wu stomped her feet in frustration, but she was helpless. Seeing Lin Hui walking away, she followed after him. "Hey, wait for me!"

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another three years had gone by.

Lin Hui's level had reached twenty-nine, and it was time for him to graduate from Notting Academy.

During their days at Notting Academy, Tang San had fawned over Xiao Wu for nearly six years, bought breakfast for Lin Hui for nearly six years, and Lin Hui had shared a bed with Xiao Wu for six years.

As they were about to part ways, Tang San tried to persuade Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, Grandmaster recommended a good academy to me called Shrek Academy. Why don't we go there together after graduation?"

"Shrek Academy?" Xiao Wu seemed to have never heard of it. She asked Lin Hui, "Should we go?"

"No," Lin Hui replied with extreme bluntness. "It's nothing more than a gathering place for swindlers."

"Alright, then I won't go either!" Xiao Wu replied to Tang San.

Tang San asked curiously, "Then where are you going after graduation?"

"Wherever Lin Hui goes, I go!" Xiao Wu answered. After all, she had been captured as Lin Hui's pet, and she had no choice but to follow him for the time being.

"Lin Hui..." Tang San muttered the name, a surge of hatred rising in his heart.

He had fawned over Xiao Wu for six whole years, yet in the end, she only cared about this man, Lin Hui!

At the school gate, watching the backs of Lin Hui and Xiao Wu as they left the academy, Tang San clenched his fists tightly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

"If I do not avenge this humiliation, I am no man!"

Yu Xiaogang appeared and placed a hand on Tang San's shoulder.

"San, Shrek Academy is an institution that cultivates monsters. You will meet better companions there. With Shrek's training, you will surely be able to defeat Lin Hui and take Xiao Wu back!"

"Furthermore, the dean of that academy is notoriously protective of his own. As long as you join and demonstrate your strength, it is quite possible the dean will intervene to help you reclaim Xiao Wu."

Hearing that there was a chance to win Xiao Wu back, the look in Tang San's eyes immediately cleared.

"Really? Can the dean truly do that?"

Yu Xiaogang explained with great confidence.

"Of course. Shrek Academy has two Spirit Saints and several Spirit Emperors. No matter how talented Lin Hui is, could he possibly be their match?"

"Besides, the school motto of Shrek is: 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre!'"

"Then it is settled. I will join Shrek Academy, show my strength, and take Xiao Wu back!" Tang San declared firmly.

As for whether this went against Xiao Wu's will, Tang San no longer cared. Even if he had to use force, it didn't matter. He believed that once he took her back, in time, she would surely understand his good intentions.

Yu Xiaogang watched the receding back of Lin Hui, hatred burning in his heart as well.

"It's all because of you that I couldn't hold my head up for six years at Notting Academy!"

"Even if I'm not strong enough, as long as I say the word to Flender, he will definitely teach you a lesson for me!"

"Lin Hui, the moment you leave Notting Academy, your good days will be over!"

"Hahahaha!"

Bala Kingdom, Soto City.

Lin Hui and Xiao Wu walked along the city streets. People bustled back and forth on both sides, with many vendors hawking their wares, making the entire city quite lively.

"Lin Hui, where are we going next?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"To the Star Dou Forest. I need to capture a million-year soul beast there to serve as my third soul ring," Lin Hui said.

After all, since Xiao Wu had already been captured by his Ultra Ball, it was time to share some secrets with her; furthermore, he would need her assistance to capture the Sky Dream Ice Worm.

"A million-year soul beast? How is that possible?" Xiao Wu was stunned. "As far as I know, the highest-level soul beast in the Star Dou Forest is only a hundred thousand years old! And that's the overlord of the Star Dou Forest!"

"The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape?" The figures of those two soul beasts, as massive as mountains, appeared in Lin Hui's mind. "However, there are some secrets that perhaps even you don't know."

"Then how do you know about them?" Xiao Wu asked.

"That's for me to know," Lin Hui said.

"Hmph, stingy!" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and said angrily, How can this guy have so many secrets?

Lin Hui and Xiao Wu passed through a small alley where some heavily made-up women stood on either side. As the two walked by, those women called out to them.

"Hey little brother, come over and have some fun!"

Lin Hui ignored them and continued walking forward.

But as they walked, someone called out to him from behind, speaking in an arrogant and haughty tone.

"Yo, the girl you've got with you is quite the looker. Let me have some fun with her, and I'll give her back to you after I've vented my evil fire!"

Lin Hui turned around and saw a round, fleshy fatty whose facial features were so squashed they were barely discernible. He was wearing a red coarse-cloth shirt, and his eyes were burning with restless lust.

It was none other than the lecherous fatty of Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun!
