Breakthrough?

In less than a minute, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai both felt a surge of Evil Fire rise in their lower abdomens.

The Evil Fire burned relentlessly within them, quickly spreading throughout their entire bodies.

"Dai... Boss Dai."

Ma Hongjun's eyes were filled with an unnatural pink hue, and his chubby face was flushed red. If one looked closely, wisps of white smoke could even be seen rising from the top of his head.

Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul already carried Evil Fire. Stimulated by that little blue pill, he felt as though he were about to explode.

"Fatty... you..."

Dai Mubai's symptoms were exactly the same as Ma Hongjun's. However, his Martial Soul did not naturally possess Evil Fire, so he was not quite on the verge of exploding—but he was nearing his limit.

The two of them looked toward Xiao Wu at the same time. Seemingly catching the faint fragrance on her body, the last remnants of their reason were completely consumed by Evil Fire.

They now wanted only to follow humanity's most primal desires.

As the only woman in the group, Xiao Wu naturally became Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's first target.

At that moment, they did not care about any nonsense like not coveting a friend's wife.

"What are you two doing!?"

Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot. If not for his wariness of Dragon One, who was radiating a terrifying pressure ahead of them, he would have already given Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun each a Tang Sect Hidden Weapon.

They actually dared to set their sights on Xiao Wu!

Even if those two were Tang San's classmates, he would not spare them!

But Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, controlled by Evil Fire, had no intention of paying Tang San any attention.

However, Chaotianxiang would not allow them to do such a thing. What did that damned Soul Saint and these two idiots have to do with the little girl?

Chaotianxiang planted her serpent staff on the ground, and a tremor traveled along the floor toward Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.

The two men, who had been charging toward Xiao Wu, were directly jolted into each other.

Feeling the scorching heat coming from the other's body, neither of them cared whether the other was a woman or not.

Flender turned his head away. At that moment, he truly wanted to shut off all his senses.

Yet under Dragon One's pressure, there was nothing he could do.

Oscar was in an extremely awkward position. Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's battle was happening right in front of his face. Even with his head lowered, he could see everything clearly.

Two hours passed, and as the final sound faded away, the inn fell completely silent.

Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran had already left. Naturally, Chaotianxiang did not want her granddaughter to witness something so unsuitable for children.

Seeing that the battle had ended, Dragon One's task was complete. With a flash, he grabbed the Recording Stone Lu Li had left on the second floor and returned to Lu Li's side.

As the pressure vanished, Flender wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who lay fully exposed and unconscious.

"Carry the two of them... back."

Flender sighed.

Luckily, it was late at night and there were not many people in the inn. Not many had witnessed what had just happened.

Otherwise, they would have been utterly humiliated!

Tang San cast a vicious glance at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, already having decided how to deal with them.

They had earned death!

For the sake of your remaining usefulness, I'll spare your lives for now. Once my teacher and I no longer need you, it won't be too late to kill you!

But just as Oscar made a move, a purplish-red flame suddenly appeared on Dai Mubai's unconscious body.

The flames did not harm Dai Mubai. Instead, they continuously gathered toward his lower abdomen.

In the end, all the flames on Dai Mubai's body converged at his lower abdomen. A small fireball floated above it, and in the next moment, it shot straight into Dai Mubai's body.

At the instant the fireball entered his body, a powerful fluctuation of soul power burst forth from Dai Mubai.

That fluctuation not only drew Flender's attention, but also startled Lu Li, who had been resting with his eyes closed in his room.

Why does this look so much like the fluctuation of a soul power breakthrough?

Lu Li thought to himself.

At the same time, he was somewhat puzzled. Judging from the soul power Dai Mubai had displayed earlier, he should have needed at least another half month of cultivation to break through. Why had it happened today...

This can't be because of what they just did, can it?

A strange look appeared in Lu Li's eyes, but he was soon so amused by the thought that he nearly laughed.

No, no. I must be overthinking it.

There's no way something like that could be such a coincidence.

Just as Lu Li was letting his imagination run wild, the soul power fluctuation around Dai Mubai gradually calmed down.

Just as Lu Li had guessed, Dai Mubai's soul power had truly broken through!

WTF? Seriously? Could it really be because the two of them just...

Lu Li did not dare think any further. He feared that if he did, he would be so disgusted that he would never be able to sleep again.

Lu Li was not the only one dumbfounded. Even Flender was somewhat stunned.

However, Flender quickly attributed Dai Mubai's sudden breakthrough to his good brother.

What if his good brother's training method had actually worked?

"Not bad luck. Alright, Little Ao, hurry up and carry the two of them into their room."

After saying that, Flender headed toward his own room without another thought.

Oscar looked at the heavily built Ma Hongjun, then turned to Tang San with a troubled expression.

As an auxiliary-system soul master, he really could not carry him!

Tang San noticed Oscar's gaze but ignored him.

It was already good enough that he could restrain himself from killing Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai right then. And Oscar expected him to carry those two back to their room?

Wishful thinking!

Tang San returned directly to his own room.

Originally, he had wanted to go to Xiao Wu's room and comfort her properly.

But she had refused him.

He could only return to his room in embarrassment.

Oscar looked despairingly at the two unconscious men on the ground. His vision went dark, and he nearly fainted on the spot.

The next morning, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were still unconscious.

That showed just how terrifying the little pills Dugu Bo had concocted truly were.

The outskirts of Star Dou Forest.

Flender walked in front, followed by Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Originally, he should have remained hidden in the shadows. But their group was short three people, and Tang San possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, so this Soul Saint could only take the lead and clear the way.

"Little San, don't be angry about what happened last night. Mubai and Fatty were drugged by that damned old hag, after all. Otherwise, they wouldn't have acted like that..."

Naturally, Flender was referring to what Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had wanted to do to Xiao Wu the night before.

He also knew that Tang San and Xiao Wu shared an extraordinary relationship. For the sake of unity within their academy in the future, he could only speak up and ask Tang San to forgive Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Tang San said nothing.

Xiao Wu's little face was full of disgust.

She had never thought highly of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who frequently visited brothels.

After last night's incident, her favorability toward Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had plummeted to zero—no, even below zero.
