Fiery Golden Eyes! Encountering Ma Hongjun at Night

Wang Tianyi had not heard such a pleasant electronic voice in a long time!

Sure enough, his guess had been correct. Once the current situation involved important characters from the original story, the rewards granted by the God-Tier Choice System became exceptionally generous!

Just like now! The reward for Choice One—participating in the upcoming spirit battle and defeating Shrek Academy—was the supreme divine ability of Sun Wukong: Fiery Golden Eyes! This was a top-tier reward that no one could possibly refuse. Even someone as powerful as Sun Wukong had only forged this supreme ability after being tempered by Samadhi True Fire in the Supreme Lord's pill furnace. This was undoubtedly the best reward among the three choices!

Moreover, this choice suited Wang Tianyi's tastes perfectly. The other two were rather long-winded. Sure, they might feel great later on, but could anyone really expect much patience from Wang Tianyi, who had two monkeys living in his head? He was a genuine hothead, so those two choices naturally never entered his consideration.

And their rewards were rather ordinary as well. No matter how nicely they were described, they were merely two Immortal-grade Herbs. If they had been genuine Peach of Immortality or Ginseng Fruit, he might have considered them, but now...

There were plenty of Immortal-grade Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Wang Tianyi had absolute confidence that he could obtain them.

System, I choose Option One!

Wang Tianyi said to himself, followed immediately by the familiar electronic voice and his reward.

Wang Tianyi felt as though his eyes had caught fire, as if he had taken Sun Wukong's place and been thrown into the Supreme Lord's pill furnace. Violent Samadhi True Fire frantically tempered his eyes. The sensation was like being reborn!

The instant Wang Tianyi opened his eyes, golden light flashed past. His left eye had changed color, becoming a brilliant burnished gold that matched the hair at his temples. Unfortunately, his right eye remained its original black. The power belonging solely to the Six-Eared Perfected Lord had yet to be truly uncovered, but that day should not be far off.

Yet the change in appearance was only one part of it. What truly delighted Wang Tianyi was that the world had taken on a different form in his eyes. His vision had improved by at least tenfold; he could even clearly see the tiny blackheads on Osler's nose! More importantly, through his Fiery Golden Eyes, he could see the essence of all things. For example, the murky poisonous aura inside Dugu Yan's body filled every meridian throughout her body with toxins. Most astonishing of all was her dantian, where the emerald-green color stood out especially clearly.

What a marvelous power!

Wang Tianyi rejoiced inwardly. He knew that Fiery Golden Eyes possessed many more wondrous abilities. Searching for treasures and seeing through disguises were secondary; Fiery Golden Eyes also possessed a power no male creature could resist—x-ray vision.

Of course, the proud Perfected Lord would not do something so despicable, nor would the chaste Heaven-Equaling use his ability in that manner. Wang Tianyi was the same. He definitely would not use it often.

Huh? That flashy Yu Tianheng looked decent enough, yet he was wearing lightning-patterned briefs under his pants?

Truly, you could know a man's face but not his heart!

What one thought and what one actually did were two different things. As everyone knew, Wang Tianyi was a thoroughly double-standard kind of person...

Meanwhile, as Wang Tianyi familiarized himself with his ability, Qin Ming had already settled the tactics for tomorrow's battle against the Shrek Seven Monsters. The members of the Imperial Fighting Team were all puzzled. Why did Teacher Qin Ming so repeatedly demand that they not take their opponents' lives? And why had many of their abilities been prohibited, such as Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Purple Poison and Yu Tianheng's Dragon Transformation?

"And Tianyi! You must hold back tomorrow! The Shrek Seven Monsters are not like the Soul Elder teams we usually face. Their overall strength is rather weak, so don't let anyone die!"

Qin Ming's words contradicted themselves. At first, he had said that the Shrek Seven Monsters had defeated the Mad Battle Team and were opponents worth taking seriously. Now, however, he said their overall strength was weak and told them to hold back. Clearly, whenever his alma mater was involved, Qin Ming's brain short-circuited. Still, after spending so much time together, the Imperial Fighting Team had learned some of Wang Tianyi's virtues. Each of them agreed readily enough, but what would happen once the fight truly began was anyone's guess.

"The weather is nice tonight! Teacher Qin Ming, everyone, carry on with your discussion. I'm going out for a stroll!"

Having gained a brand-new power, Wang Tianyi was in an excellent mood. He decided to wander around outside and buy some gifts. After all, Suotuo City was quite close to Notting City. He planned to visit home when he returned to Heaven Dou City, and besides, he saw no need for these so-called tactical arrangements. Seven Monsters, eight monsters—whatever they were, one swing of his staff would settle everything!

Because of Wang Tianyi's unique status as the team's supreme captain, his position was exceptional. Sometimes, he could not even be bothered to pay attention to Qin Ming, and Qin Ming had no way to deal with it. After all, geniuses should receive the treatment befitting geniuses.

Under the moonlight, Wang Tianyi walked alone along Suotuo City's main street. He skillfully placed the gifts he had bought into a brand-new storage ring. Ever since the Imperial Fighting Team had begun training in cities across the Heaven Dou Empire, Wang Tianyi had been making preparations. He had obtained a discounted price through Yu Tianheng and bought a storage soul tool ring with ten cubic meters of space from a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan merchant house. It was filled with local specialties from cities throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, all intended for Wang Chen.

After finishing his shopping, he wandered aimlessly. Yet as he walked, a stretch of pink-lit streets appeared ahead. The cheap scent of rouge drifting out made people frown. Wang Tianyi had no interest in such a place and intended to leave quickly, but when he spotted an especially recognizable face, his raised foot stopped.

It was a chubby little boy with a red mohawk and red leather clothing. Judging by his appearance, he was not very old, yet two lipstick marks were stamped on his face. He staggered as he walked and let out drunken burps from time to time. Clearly, he had just finished enjoying himself.

Under the gaze of Wang Tianyi's golden eye, black-red flames filled the little fatty's body. Their intensity was passable, but they felt violent and sinister.

Only Shrek Academy's Brothel Chicken possessed such characteristics.

Tsk, tsk, what a sight! At such a young age, he's already a veteran of the bedroom. Shrek Academy truly is a place where outstanding talents gather!

Wang Tianyi gave a disdainful snort. This sort of person was actually a member of the protagonist's group?

But then, something unexpected happened!

The drunken Ma Hongjun seemed to hear that faint snort. He raised his head, his bleary eyes fixed on Wang Tianyi. When he saw Wang Tianyi's face, jealousy arose within him. He had never seen such a handsome man before. How unfair was heaven? Ma Hongjun clearly possessed the top-tier Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, yet he had not been given a good face. If he had even half of Wang Tianyi's looks, he would not need to spend money to come to a place like this!

After the jealousy came intense displeasure. Upholding the academy motto that those who dared not cause trouble were cowards, the drunken Ma Hongjun began shuffling toward Wang Tianyi...
