Yu Xiaogang came to the training grounds in the morning. Only Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were there.
Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat grim, and the youths clenched their fists, feeling deeply frustrated.
Shrek Academy now had six people, three boys and three girls. The boys studied under Yu Xiaogang, while all the girls studied under Chen Fan.
This made Oscar, who wanted to flirt with girls, very unhappy.
"Later, I'll devise a special training plan. You'll enter the Soul Fighting Arena in Suotuo City for training, and after that, you must fight at least one match every night."
Yu Xiaogang looked at the three students as he spoke.
Dai Mubai shook his head and said helplessly, "Master, I want to withdraw from the academy."
An air of despair radiated from his face.
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, Ma Hongjun and Oscar both widened their eyes.
"My Martial Soul is already ruined. I can't even use my Soul Skills now. There's no meaning in continuing to cultivate."
Dai Mubai spoke in utter dejection, lifeless and dispirited.
"What do you plan to do after leaving the academy?"
Yu Xiaogang knew about Dai Mubai's Martial Soul Degeneration and could somewhat empathize with him.
He had experienced this kind of pain before as well.
"I..."
Dai Mubai fell silent, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, he felt that if he remained at Shrek, he would only humiliate himself further.
"Even if a Soul Master loses his combat ability, as long as he has intelligence, he can still survive."
Yu Xiaogang said.
"Once you leave, will you live as an ordinary person doing hard labor?"
"I don't know."
Dai Mubai said.
"Boss Dai, your Martial Soul might come back someday. Don't give up."
Ma Hongjun said.
"That's right. How could something so strange happen? Once a Martial Soul awakens, it's fixed. How could it possibly be changed by someone else?"
Oscar encouraged him as well.
The three of them were good brothers. They had joined Shrek earlier than Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Now that Dai Mubai had suffered such a setback, neither of them wanted to see him go from a genius to a cripple.
Yu Xiaogang sighed. That Chen Fan had gone too far. Tang San was no longer at the academy, which made him feel terrible.
He had finally encountered a genius with great difficulty.
Yet he had left because of Chen Fan.
When it came to teaching, Yu Xiaogang felt that he might not necessarily teach better than Tang Hao.
After all, one of Tang San's Martial Souls was the Clear Sky Hammer.
His understanding of the Clear Sky Hammer was simply too limited.
Just as everyone was considering how to begin the training.
Chen Fan passed by with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu did not need training. She was now one with him, so there was no need to strengthen her.
If she wanted to become stronger, she had to rely on Darkness Power to evolve herself.
Xiao Wu had not experienced much yet, so it was still somewhat difficult for her to undergo Dark Evolution.
She would have to wait until she became more mature.
"You two, do you want to train with me? You won't make any progress following that useless man."
Chen Fan looked at Ma Hongjun and Oscar as he spoke.
"What did you say?!"
Yu Xiaogang instantly flew into a rage, his eyes widening roundly.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were somewhat surprised. They had not expected Chen Fan to invite them to train with him.
Although quite a few things had happened, life still had to go on.
Their paths as Soul Masters had only just begun.
Dai Mubai lowered his head and clenched his fists, anger rising from him.
"No. We don't want to associate with a despicable person like you."
Ma Hongjun shook his head and said directly.
Oscar followed right after him, stating that Chen Fan had hurt Boss Dai, and he would never join forces with him.
Chen Fan smiled.
He gestured for Zhu Zhuqing to go over and show the two of them what she could do.
The girl nodded, and a trace of power slowly emerged from her body.
Her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul had already been tainted by some Dark Power. Its aura was now much stronger than before.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai were all shocked.
Zhu Zhuqing had only been cultivating under Chen Fan for two days.
In just those two short days, Zhu Zhuqing's strength had increased so much?
And it seemed that the power of her Martial Soul itself had increased!
Yu Xiaogang could not help but be shocked as well.
"Not only can he cause someone's Martial Soul to degenerate, he can also evolve it?"
Yu Xiaogang's heart pounded as an idea surfaced in his mind.
He wanted Chen Fan to help him evolve his useless Martial Soul, Three-Eyed Golden Toad.
But upon thinking about it, that was impossible. Why would Chen Fan help him?
"Since you're the head of Shrek Academy now, you must want your students to grow stronger, right? Then why not help Dai Mubai recover? You only had a minor quarrel between you. There's no need to destroy his future, is there?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Chen Fan and said.
Hearing this, Dai Mubai was moved. He wanted to beg Chen Fan to restore his Martial Soul.
Over the past few days, he had thought about many things. He thought about life as an ordinary person, life without a Martial Soul—it would be utterly miserable.
He might not even have enough food to eat.
"It's not impossible for Dai Mubai to recover."
Chen Fan looked at Dai Mubai and said calmly.
At those words, Dai Mubai raised his head, his pupils contracting sharply.
Dai Mubai's Martial Soul had now been completely affected by Dark Power. Its original strength had been weakened, turning it into a little kitten.
It would be very simple for Chen Fan to help him: he only had to extract the Dark Power that had been erased.
Then, Dai Mubai's Martial Soul would recover as he cultivated Soul Power.
As long as Dark Power remained, no matter how Dai Mubai cultivated, his Martial Soul would not recover. Darkness Power was like a bottle stopper, tightly plugging the mouth of the bottle and fixing his Martial Soul in an extremely weak form.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was startled, and Ma Hongjun and Oscar were the same. They had not expected Chen Fan to be willing to help Dai Mubai recover.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were somewhat surprised as well.
"What do you want me to do?"
Dai Mubai stepped forward, looking at Chen Fan humbly.
"I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I'm in a good mood someday."
After saying that, Chen Fan left with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
At that moment, the glimmer of hope that had emerged in Dai Mubai's heart dimmed once more.
He was furious, but he had no way to contend with Chen Fan right now.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were enraged. Chen Fan was completely treating someone like a monkey for his amusement. He had gone too far.
Though that was what they said, when Chen Fan invited them just now, both of them had truly been tempted.
But after thinking of Dai Mubai's miserable situation, the two of them remained loyal to their brother.
"Brother Fan, how should I cultivate now?"
