Seeing Ma Hongjun's slovenly appearance, Lin Hui knew he didn't take him seriously at all.
Ma Hongjun's pants were held up by a rope, and it was coming loose.
"This little girl's young, but she's got quite a bit of meat on her chest!" Ma Hongjun stared at Xiao Wu, his eyes going straight.
Xiao Wu immediately flew into a rage.
"You lecher! What's your name? You've set your sights on me!"
Ma Hongjun continued to mock her.
"My name?"
"Haha, fine. I'll tell you. Prick up your ears and listen closely. My name is Ma Hongjun, and I'm from Shrek Academy. I'm also a level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster. From the looks of you, you're commoners, too. What, when you see a Lord Soul Master, shouldn't you get down on your knees?"
"Serve me well, and I might even toss you some money. Otherwise..."
Ma Hongjun often came to this alley to find a woman and release his Evil Fire, making them serve him on their knees!
"Oh, right, let me tell you first: I like to enjoy the service with them kneeling..." Ma Hongjun added shamelessly.
Lin Hui gave a cold laugh.
"You're so arrogant and domineering, and you keep bringing up Shrek Academy. I bet you've caused plenty of trouble like this!"
Ma Hongjun still looked down his nose at them.
"So what? Our dean said that a Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master!"
"I've done this sort of thing today not just a thousand times, but at least eight hundred!"
Xiao Wu was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves.
"You little lecher, just watch me teach you a lesson!"
Lin Hui reached out to stop Xiao Wu and said to her,
"I didn't care before I subdued you, but now you're mine. He bullied you, so I'll beat him up!"
"After all, when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner!"
"Well said!" Xiao Wu nodded eagerly, then shook her head in anger. "Ah, no, who are you calling a dog? And how am I yours?"
Ma Hongjun lost his temper, too, and shouted,
"You dare steal my woman? I'll beat you to death!"
Then he released two yellow Soul Rings, while his Evil Fire Phoenix possessed him. A red cockscomb like a flame appeared on his head.
"Is that so?" Lin Hui remained disdainful.
At the same time, Lin Hui released his own Soul Rings.
Yellow, purple!
The purple Soul Ring was what he had obtained after subduing Xiao Wu.
The moment he saw the purple Soul Ring, Ma Hongjun was stunned.
"What? You're a Soul Grandmaster, too? You look about my age—how are you a monster as well?"
Of course, that wasn't the only thing that shocked Ma Hongjun. His mouth soon fell open in even greater astonishment, because he'd noticed something even more unbelievable.
"How is this possible? How can your second Soul Ring be over a thousand years old?"
"The dean clearly said that one of his good friends was a theoretical expert in the Martial Soul world, and his friend's research proved that the maximum limit for a second Soul Ring was only seven hundred and thirty years!"
Lin Hui quickly realized that this idiot's friend was Gangzi.
"He's just a plagiarist who steals other people's theories. How could you actually believe him?" Lin Hui sneered.
Ma Hongjun still refused to give up.
"So what if your second Soul Ring is older than mine? My Martial Soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix. Its quality is definitely far superior to yours!"
After Ma Hongjun finished speaking, he immediately used his first Soul Skill.
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"
As soon as Ma Hongjun spoke, a stream of flames shot toward Lin Hui.
Just then, Lin Hui activated Teleport, dodging the flames in a flash.
This Teleport came from Xiao Wu's skill.
Besides being able to summon Soul Beasts to fight, Lin Hui could also use one skill from each Soul Beast every day.
Xiao Wu currently had Waist Bow, Charm, Teleport, and Invincible Golden Body. Although she had only two Soul Rings for now, she could use her remaining Soul Skills in the form of Self-Created Soul Skills.
With a flash, Lin Hui slipped past the fire line's attack, then tossed out his Ultra Ball.
"Go, Ah Yin!"
The Blue Silver Emperor emerged from the Ultra Ball.
Several Blue Silver Vines surged toward Ma Hongjun.
"Could your Martial Soul be Blue Silver Grass?" Ma Hongjun found it strange. "But what was that ball just now?"
"Whatever. Anyone with a Plant-type Martial Soul is afraid of my flames!"
Ma Hongjun declared with absolute confidence. He took a deep breath and used his second Soul Skill.
"Second Soul Skill, Bath of Fire Phoenix."
Bath of Fire Phoenix could boost the power of Ma Hongjun's flames.
Then he spewed out another Phoenix Fire Line.
An even fiercer blaze shot toward the Blue Silver Emperor.
What a pity. If this were ordinary Blue Silver Grass, it really would be afraid of your Evil Fire. But this is the Blue Silver Emperor! Lin Hui thought.
The Phoenix Fire Line struck the Blue Silver Emperor, but most of its fiery power was canceled out.
The Blue Silver Emperor could cancel out most elemental disadvantages. On top of that, after being nourished for years by Lin Hui's Martial Soul, its age was now infinitely close to a thousand years. It was no longer something Ma Hongjun could resist.
"How is this possible? Why isn't your Blue Silver Grass afraid of my flames?" Seeing that his flames had little effect on the Blue Silver Emperor, Ma Hongjun was so shocked he couldn't speak.
However, for an explosive Soul Master like Ma Hongjun, one setback was practically the same as defeat.
"Blue Silver Grass, use Parasite," Lin Hui ordered.
Several Parasite Seeds were flung out by the Blue Silver Emperor. Some landed on Ma Hongjun's clothes, while others fell near his feet.
But any seed that landed close to him quickly burst open, sprouting new Blue Silver Vines.
In almost an instant, the Blue Silver Vines tightly wrapped around Ma Hongjun, surrounding him like a zongzi.
His face turned purple from the constriction. He wanted to breathe fire, but he could barely breathe.
He immediately begged for mercy.
"Spare me, big brother! Spare me! Your little brother was wrong!"
"What were you wrong about?" Lin Hui asked. At the same time, the Blue Silver Emperor's vines loosened their grip slightly.
"I shouldn't have provoked you! I shouldn't have treated your woman like a dog!" Ma Hongjun would say anything to stay alive.
"No," Lin Hui said, wiggling his fingers. "You don't know you were wrong. You know you're afraid!"
As soon as Lin Hui finished speaking, the Blue Silver Vines suddenly tightened.
The Blue Silver Vines squeezed Ma Hongjun mercilessly.
His chest and belly were squeezed, leaving several deep impressions in his rolls of fat.
"Now that's some thick meat," Lin Hui remarked mockingly.
Then came the sound of bones breaking.
Crack—
And Ma Hongjun's heartrending scream of pain.
"Ah—!"
The bones in Ma Hongjun's arms and lower legs were snapped, and more than a dozen of his ribs broke all at once.
His cries of pain and screams rang out without end!
