Ma Hongjun the Eunuch!

Shui Yuerou looked at him.

"Shrek Academy has already entered our academy."

"The cultivation areas will be opened as agreed."

"As for whether the dean will see you, that is for the dean to decide."

"I understand."

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

His expression remained ugly.

Shui Yuerou lingered no longer. She turned and left the lakeside.

Yu Xiaogang stood where he was, staring darkly at her retreating figure.

Not qualified.

Those words kept echoing in his mind.

Ever since he had made a name for himself, people had addressed him as Grandmaster wherever he went.

Even Bibi Dong, the pope of Spirit Hall, had once shared a close relationship with him.

Yet after coming to Skywater Academy, he was not even qualified to meet the dean.

Yu Xiaogang slowly clenched his fists.

He looked deeper into the academy, his resentment toward Skywater Academy growing stronger.

"Very well."

"Since you think so little of me, don't blame me for showing you no mercy in the future."

Meanwhile.

Ma Hongjun had not stayed with Yu Xiaogang.

He wandered through the academy alone and soon spotted the sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Shui Bing'er wore a pale blue dress and stood by the lake, cultivating.

Shui Yue'er sat on a stone platform nearby, gathering a ball of watery light in her hand.

Both sisters were exceptionally beautiful.

Ma Hongjun stared, slack-jawed, drool trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"They're smoking hot..."

He hid nearby, his gaze roving over Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

He had already begun fantasizing about what his life would be like once he stayed at Skywater Academy.

Inside Skywater Academy.

Long Yao sat on the ninth floor of the True Dragon Tower.

A pale blue screen of light appeared before him.

On it were the figures of Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun.

Yu Xiaogang wore an ugly expression.

Ma Hongjun lurked by the lake, looking utterly sleazy.

Long Yao lifted his teacup, his gaze resting on the two men.

After a moment, he shook his head lightly.

"Those who bring disaster upon themselves have only themselves to blame."

Skywater Academy.

By the lake.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had just finished cultivating and were about to return to their quarters.

Ma Hongjun stepped out from nearby.

He straightened his clothes, plastered a smile across his face, and hurried over to them.

"Senior Shui Bing'er, Senior Shui Yue'er."

Shui Yue'er stopped.

She glanced at Ma Hongjun and immediately frowned.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing much."

Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, his gaze traveling back and forth over the sisters.

"I just wanted to get to know you two."

"My name is Ma Hongjun. I'm a student of Shrek Academy."

"Shrek Academy?"

Shui Bing'er's expression remained calm.

"We know."

"Great."

Ma Hongjun grinned.

He stepped closer.

"I heard every female student at Skywater Academy was a beauty. Now that I've seen you, you certainly live up to your reputation."

Shui Yue'er's expression darkened at once.

"What are you saying?"

"I'm complimenting you."

Ma Hongjun hastily explained.

"Senior Shui Bing'er, you're so beautiful."

"Senior Shui Yue'er is very cute, too."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over them again.

The way he looked at them disgusted both Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Shui Bing'er took half a step back.

"Please keep your distance."

Ma Hongjun's smile froze.

"Why be like that?"

"We'll be cultivating together in the future. There's no harm in getting acquainted beforehand."

"Who wants to cultivate with you?"

Shui Yue'er stared coldly at him.

"People like you aren't welcome at Skywater Academy."

"What did you say?"

Ma Hongjun's expression grew ugly.

He had thought that his status, coupled with Shrek Academy's reputation, would at least earn him some respect from these two.

Yet from beginning to end, neither Shui Bing'er nor Shui Yue'er had given him so much as a proper glance.

Ma Hongjun's chest began to heave.

"I was kind enough to greet you, and this is how you treat me?"

"Kind enough?"

Shui Bing'er looked at him.

"You've been leering at us this entire time. You call that kindness?"

At those words.

Ma Hongjun's face turned scarlet.

The evil fire within him was stirred up, surging rapidly through every part of his body.

Scorching heat radiated from him.

The surrounding temperature shot up.

Shui Yue'er immediately grabbed Shui Bing'er's arm and backed away.

"Sister, there's something wrong with him."

"I heard him."

Shui Bing'er raised her eyes.

Ma Hongjun's eyes had already turned red with evil fire.

As he stared at the sisters before him, his lust completely overwhelmed his reason.

"You two don't know what's good for you."

"If you won't come willingly, I'll take you myself."

Shui Bing'er's expression turned utterly cold.

"Ma Hongjun, what are you trying to do?"

"What am I trying to do?"

Ma Hongjun grinned.

"What else could I do now that I'm here?"

Evil fire poured out of his body.

A phantom phoenix appeared behind him, and flames spread across the lakeside.

The nearby plants rapidly withered.

Clouds of steam rose from the lake.

"Phoenix Martial Soul, possess!"

Ma Hongjun spread his arms.

The flames formed an enormous phoenix that lunged at Shui Bing'er and her sister.

"Phoenix Fire Line!"

Scorching flames rushed toward them.

Shui Bing'er raised her slender hand.

Pale blue light blossomed behind her.

A majestic ice phoenix slowly unfurled its wings, its crystalline feathers reflected on the lake.

"Ice Phoenix, possess."

Frost instantly covered the lakeside.

The Phoenix Fire Line had barely drawn near before countless currents of freezing air suppressed it.

The flames rapidly shrank.

The ice phoenix beat its wings.

A vast shower of ice crystals fell from above, shattering the flames outright.

Boom!

Ma Hongjun's soul skill collapsed on the spot.

The freezing air slammed into him, forcing him back several steps.

"How is that possible?"

Ma Hongjun looked up at Shui Bing'er.

He had never imagined that his Phoenix Flame would fail to withstand even her soul skill.

Shui Bing'er did not answer.

She raised her right hand.

A long, icy blue arrow formed in her palm.

Its shaft was made of extreme cold, and delicate patterns of frost appeared in the surrounding space.

As Ma Hongjun stared at the Ice Arrow, unease rose within him.

"What are you going to do?"

"What were you trying to do to us just now?"

Shui Bing'er looked at him calmly.

"I'm simply making sure you remember that this isn't a place where you can do as you please."

She released her fingers.

The Ice Arrow shot forward in an instant.

Ma Hongjun tried to dodge, but they were too close.

The Ice Arrow passed between his legs and pierced straight into his groin.

Freezing energy exploded inside him.

Ma Hongjun froze where he stood.

The next instant, he clutched his crotch and fell to his knees.

Agonizing pain coursed through his body.

His evil fire martial soul collapsed on the spot.

The phantom phoenix dissolved into sparks and vanished in midair.

Shui Yue'er looked at Ma Hongjun lying on the ground, without a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

"Quiet at last."

Ma Hongjun's face was deathly pale.

He lowered his head to look at his body, his eyes slowly becoming vacant.

He had lost all sensation in his groin.

His path as a soul master had not been destroyed, but what mattered most to him as a man had been utterly ruined.

From that day forward, he could only live as a eunuch.

Ma Hongjun's earlier arrogance vanished completely.

He looked up at Shui Bing'er, fear the only thing left in his eyes.

"I was wrong."

"I really was wrong."

"Please, let me go."

Shui Bing'er looked at him.

"You haven't realized you were wrong."

"You've only realized you're afraid."
