Just like that, Dai Mubai joined Shrek Academy.
One month later.
After arriving at the academy, Dai Mubai quickly adapted to the rhythm of life there.
Zhao Wuji never went easy on him, treating him no differently from the others.
Dai Mubai was trained until he bared his teeth in pain, yet he never let out a single groan.
He trained during the day, then gathered with Lu Mingfei, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun at night to eat and chat.
The arrogance he had built up in Suotuo City had been beaten down considerably by Zhao Wuji's fists.
But the pride in his bones remained. It was simply buried deeper now.
Ma Hongjun had changed the most over the past month.
Back in Grass Chicken Village, he had been a chubby little boy who spent all day squatting beside the chicken coop and playing with mud, with no goals and no ambitions.
But after awakening the Evil Fire Phoenix, the fire within him had been completely ignited.
He put more effort than anyone else into every training session Zhao Wuji assigned.
In just one month, his round body visibly became sturdier.
He was still fat, but the outlines of his muscles could already be seen when he walked.
Sometimes, when Lu Mingfei got up in the middle of the night and passed by his room, he could see dim yellow light shining through the window paper and the short, stout silhouette sitting on the bed, meditating and cultivating Soul Power.
Dai Mubai's progress was equally solid.
He already had a strong foundation, and the quality of his Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul was among the very best of beast martial souls.
His cultivation speed was more than twice that of ordinary people.
That day, brilliant white light burst from his body.
