Ma Hongjun Harasses Ning Rongrong!

Early morning.

Soft morning light streamed through the windows of the Shrek dormitory, warmly spilling across the beds.

Ao Yin groggily turned over.

Out of habit, he raised a hand, wanting to pull the familiar figure beside him into his arms.

But there was nothing there.

He caught nothing at all.

He instantly woke up halfway, blinked, and suddenly realized.

Oh, right.

This was no longer Seventh Dormitory at Notting Academy. This was Shrek Academy, and the dorm assignments had been made yesterday.

Xiao Wu lived in the girls' dormitory building and had long since stopped squeezing into the same bed with him.

They had grown up, after all. Boys and girls needed to keep their distance; they could no longer sleep tangled together as freely as before.

Ao Yin let out an enormous stretch, quickly washed up, threw on his coat, and stepped out of the dormitory.

There was still something to take care of today. Having just passed the fourth assessment yesterday, Xiao Wu still lacked some things. They had agreed to leave the academy together this morning to buy a batch of daily necessities.

As for Tang San, after witnessing Ao Yin's terrifying strength, he had become even more driven. He sat alone atop the dormitory roof, his posture straight and his mind steady.

His eyes were slightly closed, his breathing long and even.

Without pause, he cultivated the Tang Sect's ultimate art—the Mysterious Heaven Skill. The inner force within his body circulated through its heavenly cycle, gentle and condensed, steadily tempering his foundation.

At the same time, his eyes occasionally opened and closed, his gaze sharp and concentrated as he silently cultivated the Purple Demon Eye.

Ao Yin glanced at him, and the original plot surfaced in his mind. Tang Hao had probably already given Headmaster Flender special instructions by now. With Yu Xiaogang's connection as well, Tang San had people protecting him. There was no need for Ao Yin to cause him trouble and invite needless annoyance.

Ignoring Tang San, Ao Yin whistled as he strolled leisurely down the forest path toward the girls' dormitory.

But just as he rounded a shaded corner, a scream caught his attention!

"Ah! Pervert!"

"Let go of me! Do you know who I am?"

Hm?

Ao Yin looked up.

In the small woods not far away, a fat, round figure with short fiery-red hair was especially eye-catching.

The fat boy was stocky and crude. At that moment, he was tightly gripping Ning Rongrong's wrist, his actions overbearing and his attitude impatient, without the slightest hint of tenderness toward a girl.

Ao Yin recognized him at once.

Ma Hongjun, the future Phoenix God!

His martial soul was a top-tier mutated beast martial soul—the Evil Fire Phoenix!

His talent was heaven-defying, but his temperament was lecherous and unruly.

Because his martial soul came with evil fire that plagued him, ever since awakening it at the age of six, the evil fire within his body had built up until it became unbearable, forcing him to vent it through special means.

Over time, he developed the habit of harassing girls and flirting around recklessly.

Who could have imagined it?

A top-tier deity of the Divine Realm was actually this kind of person now!

Round and pudgy, with a roguish look on his face, he behaved like a frivolous scoundrel.

Ao Yin could not help silently mocking him in his heart.

Still, Ma Hongjun's transformation really was absurd. Right now, he was just a greedy, lustful, unruly, arrogant little fatso, covered in flab and plain-looking through and through.

No one could have predicted that years later, he would shed all that fat and undergo a stunning transformation.

His looks would explode in brilliance, his figure would become tall and straight, astonishing the entire Divine Realm!

He would go from a greasy little fatty straight into a peerless handsome man!

He would practically become a different person!

But right now...

He was plainly a domineering little thug who threw his weight around by relying on his martial soul talent!

What kind of flirting was this?

This was clearly public harassment and forceful pestering!

That said, although Ma Hongjun looked fat and bloated, his strength was terrifyingly great!

A rank twenty-eight Soul Grandmaster, coupled with the physical enhancement inherent to his Phoenix martial soul!

Ning Rongrong was merely a rank twenty-six support-type Soul Grandmaster. All her Soul Power was geared toward enhancement, so her close-combat strength was simply too weak!

Ning Rongrong's entire face had flushed red with embarrassment, fury, and panic!

She had been pampered since childhood, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, raised with countless people doting on her.

When had anyone ever dragged her around so roughly and made things difficult for her in public?

Her delicate, fair wrist had been squeezed bright red, the pain piercing to the bone.

She struggled desperately, her slender arm twisting continuously, but Ma Hongjun's brute strength was astonishing. He did not budge in the slightest.

Her usual lofty, proud, lively demeanor had vanished completely.

A little dust stained her face, while her disheveled hair clung to her cheeks, making her look miserable and pitiful.

She bit her soft pink lower lip, forcing herself to maintain the pride in her bones and refusing to show weakness, yet she could not stop her voice from trembling slightly.

She was angry and anxious, yet unable to break free in the slightest!

Being restrained in public by this unfamiliar fat man, her brows knitted in frustration and helplessness. As a support-type Soul Master, she was so aggrieved that her eyes had begun to redden.

Ao Yin was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Ning Rongrong to run into Ma Hongjun's harassment on her first day.

However, judging by Ma Hongjun's practiced manner, harassing decent women did not seem to be something he had only been doing for a day or two! After all, he had to vent his evil fire several times a month, making him even more promiscuous than Dai Mubai!

"Let go of me! Let me go now!"

Ning Rongrong was furious and anxious, her voice trembling with grievance.

Yet not only did Ma Hongjun refuse to release her, a carefree wicked grin appeared on his face instead. His eyes brazenly roamed over Ning Rongrong's exquisite, breathtaking face and graceful figure.

He clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Oh? A new junior girl. You're so pretty, and you've got quite the stubborn temper too?"

"Stop struggling. What's wrong with having some fun with me? I, Ma Hongjun, am the strongest around here!"

It had to be said.

As the cherished jewel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong possessed top-tier looks, temperament, and figure!

On her very first day at Shrek, her pure yet noble air and abundant spiritual charm had instantly made Ma Hongjun lust after her!

The evil fire in this guy had stirred up, and he could not resist coming over to pester her on the spot!

Watching the scene before him.

Ao Yin's gaze turned completely cold.

A hero saving a beauty?

Hadn't this just been delivered right to his doorstep!

His pace abruptly quickened as he strode forward!

A cold shout suddenly exploded across the scene!

"Let her go! You dead fatso! Release that girl!"

With a boom!

The scene instantly fell silent!

Ma Hongjun, who had been harassing the beauty, stiffened and sharply turned around!

Seeing the unfamiliar youth who had suddenly appeared, his face filled with displeasure and his brows furrowed tightly!

He looked Ao Yin up and down. Seeing that the other party was tall and straight, not very old, and dressed in the ordinary uniform of a new student.

His arrogance immediately surged to the limit!

"Who the hell are you?"

"A new student thinks he can meddle in my business? Are you tired of living?"

Ma Hongjun had long been used to acting arrogantly around here.

Relying on his high Phoenix martial soul talent and great strength, no one nearby dared to provoke him!

He had no idea that during Shrek's assessment yesterday, a monstrous new student had appeared and overturned everyone's understanding!

Ao Yin raised an eyebrow faintly, a flash of disdain passing through his eyes.

It seemed this dead fatso was terribly out of touch.

Fine.

This was the perfect chance to establish his authority!

Ao Yin stepped forward, and an overbearing wave of Soul Power spread out, crushing down upon him!

His voice was utterly domineering, every word ringing with force!

"Who I am isn't important. What matters is that I, Ao Yin, hate seeing beautiful girls bullied more than anything. I'm handling this matter!"

Ning Rongrong, whose hand was still being tightly held, trembled violently the instant she heard Ao Yin's voice.

The panic in her eyes instantly lit up!

Like a drowning person clutching at a lifeline!

All her grievance and panic surged forth at once.

She raised her wet eyes to look pitifully at Ao Yin, her voice soft and aggrieved.

"Ao Yin... save me!"
