Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's Spirit Power Breakthrough

This time, Flender did not pinch pennies. To return to Shrek Academy sooner, he even rented a carriage pulled by Spirit Beasts acting as horses.

After all, every second they returned late meant another second of risk that Tang San might die.

Hidden in the shadows, Lu Li watched the carriage enter Shrek Academy and put the Gold Soul Coin he had been idly playing with into the Ancestral Dragon Ring.

"Dragon One, bring that headmaster here."

For what came next, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were the true leads. What kind of show would it be without the leads present?

"Yes, Master."

Meanwhile, inside the headmaster's office at Shrek Academy.

"Flender! Is this how you took Little San and the others to hunt Spirit Rings?!"

"Look at this! Look how badly Little San's back was injured!"

Yu Xiaogang's duck-like voice tore through the sky. Even Lu Li, far outside Shrek Academy, could hear it.

Gangzi is impressive. With a voice like that, he could use it as a weapon against enemies.

Lu Li thought to himself.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that Gangzi had truly made something of himself.

Just think about it: a mere Soul Grandmaster had managed to create a self-invented soul skill.

Even Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu probably could not accomplish that, could they?

Didn't that mean Gangzi was equal to Tang Chen, equal to Qian Daoliu?!

No, Gangzi was even a little stronger than Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.

After all, Gangzi was a genius who broke through to level twenty-nine at the age of fifty, and had even created a self-invented soul skill during the Soul Grandmaster stage!

"I'm sorry, Xiaogang. I... I never expected the Titan Giant Ape to appear in the Outer Perimeter."

Flender lowered his head, not daring to look at his good brother at all.

"Sorry? And that's it? Will saying sorry heal Little San's injuries!?"

Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage from head to toe, one hand on his waist while the other formed an orchid-finger gesture.

If Grandmaster Yu were not so poor at combat, he would have wanted to hit Flender with a Heaven-Shaking Earth-Splitting Luo Sanpao right then.

"What are you standing around for?! Hurry up and find a healing-type Soul Master!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at his good brother standing before him with his head lowered, too afraid to meet his eyes, and felt nothing but fury.

"Yes, yes, yes! Xiaogang, don't worry. I'll go find the best healing-type Soul Master right away."

After saying that, Flender ran outside barefoot, not even caring that his shoes had fallen off.

After Flender left, Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, who was unconscious and whose clothes were soaked red with blood, and his eyes reddened.

Tang San was his disciple! He was the best candidate to bring his theories to fruition!

But what had happened?

He had entrusted Tang San to his friend and let him take Tang San hunting for Spirit Rings. Tang San had been perfectly fine when they left.

Yet when he returned, he was nearly dead!

Of course, that was not even the most important part. The most important thing was that Tang San was the son of his idol, the Haotian Douluo!

Before his idol left, he had repeatedly reminded him to take good care of Tang San.

Yet now, he had taken such care of Tang San that the boy was half dead.

If the Haotian Douluo learned of this, Grandmaster Yu would not only lose such a disciple, but also invite the Haotian Douluo's endless revenge!

How could a mere Soul Grandmaster possibly withstand the revenge of a Title Douluo?

"Little San, you'll definitely be alright. Your teacher will use all his knowledge to heal you!"

Yu Xiaogang stood beside the unconscious Tang San and muttered to himself.

Outside, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhao Wuji, who were undergoing the entrance examination, looked at Flender's bare feet and unusually anxious expression. Thinking of the duck-like voice that had just resounded through the heavens and earth...

They both felt as though they had entered a bandits' den.

However, both had come with their own purposes. Even though they thought so, neither left immediately, instead deciding to watch for now.

After all, they were already here.

This time, the examiner was not Zhao Wuji, but Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai had only just returned and was dragged over to serve as an examiner, so naturally, he was somewhat unwilling.

The medicine in Star Dou Forest had been too potent. When he and Ma Hongjun woke up the next day, they were still...

Remembering that humiliating scene, Dai Mubai only wanted to kill everyone, including Flender, then find another place and continue his carefree life.

Yet what delighted Dai Mubai was that before heading to Star Dou Forest, his Spirit Power had only been level thirty-five.

But after being with Ma Hongjun...

When he returned, his Spirit Power had actually risen two levels in a row, reaching level thirty-seven!

It was simply terrifying!

"Looks like it must have been because I cultivated according to Grandmaster's methods. The Spirit Power stored within my body erupted overnight, allowing me to break through two levels in such a short time and reach level thirty-seven."

Dai Mubai attributed all of this to his own talent.

Just as Dai Mubai was imagining whether he might break through another level in a few days, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong arrived at the final stage.

Sensing someone approach, Dai Mubai stopped fantasizing. With his back to the two girls, he used the mannerisms and tone he had learned from Yu Xiaogang and spoke to them.

"I am the final stage. The rules are simple. If you join forces and hold out against me for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, you will pass the examination."

Dai Mubai turned around, but when he saw Zhu Zhuqing, a trace of shock immediately appeared on his face.

Why is she here?!

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing. He had never expected his fiancée to chase him here from the Star Luo Empire.

At the same time, when Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Mubai, her expression did not change much. She remained as cold and indifferent as ever.

There was even a trace of resentment deep in her eyes when she saw him.

But before long, an ugly expression appeared on Dai Mubai's face.

If Zhu Zhuqing found out about what he and Ma Hongjun had done at the inn in Star Dou Forest, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The more he feared something, the more it came true. Just as Dai Mubai was thinking about how to silence everyone from the inn that day, an annoyingly smug voice rang out.

"Boss Dai, I finally found you! Ever since we came back from the inn, my Spirit Power has actually broken through two levels in a row. Did that happen to you too?!"

Dai Mubai's face darkened as he watched Ma Hongjun run toward him with a smug expression.

The moment he saw Ma Hongjun, what had happened at the inn involuntarily replayed in his mind.

"Boss Dai, why aren't you saying anything? And what are you doing here...?"

Ma Hongjun's small eyes turned toward Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong standing behind Dai Mubai.

When he saw Zhu Zhuqing's voluptuous figure and cold, beautiful face, along with Ning Rongrong's petite and adorable appearance, his eyes immediately lit up.

He was already lustful by nature, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were unquestionably among the continent's most beautiful women.

Ma Hongjun simply could not resist. The side effects of his Martial Soul suddenly flared up at that moment.

"Boss Dai, where did these babes come from? They're smoking hot! Especially the one in the black skintight outfit—those peaks, tsk tsk."

With a lecherous grin, Ma Hongjun moved closer to Dai Mubai and leered at Zhu Zhuqing.

Completely unaware that Dai Mubai's face had already turned black, his fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot, as though he wanted nothing more than to punch him to death.

Damn it! How dare he?! Zhu Qing is my woman!

Dai Mubai roared inwardly.

His own woman was being appraised like that by his good brother. How was that any different from being cuckolded?

"Fatty, go back first. I'll come find you later."

Dai Mubai practically gritted out the words.

There were too many people here, making it inconvenient to deal with Ma Hongjun. But once they got to the dormitory...

Hmph! If Dai Mubai did not beat Ma Hongjun so badly that he could not get out of bed, then he would not be Dai Mubai!

Meanwhile, Lu Li.

"Master, I brought her."

Lu Li glanced at Liu Erlong, who was unconscious and slung over Dragon One's shoulder.

He put away the teacup in his hand, rose to his feet, and walked deeper into Shrek Academy.
