Ma Xiaotao's Shock! Shrek's Hypocrisy and the Truth That Overturned History!

"Shrek Academy?"

Tang Ya stared at the two battered figures in the distance, her eyes full of doubt.

"Are they really from Shrek Academy?"

Dai Mubai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to his feet.

"We really are from Shrek Academy."

He glanced at Ma Hongjun beside him.

"We're members of the Shrek Seven Devils."

Tang Ya's frown deepened.

"How could people from Shrek Academy behave like this?"

"You harassed us in the street and even tried to drag us away."

She looked at Ma Hongjun.

"How are you any different from Evil Soul Masters?"

Ma Hongjun's face flushed red, but he no longer dared approach them.

Their clash had made one thing clear: the red-haired woman before him was someone he could not afford to provoke.

Ma Xiaotao raised her hand.

Ultimate Flame flickered slowly in her palm.

Ma Hongjun stiffened.

"What else do you want?"

"I only hit you a few times just now."

Ma Xiaotao looked him up and down.

"From the looks of it, that wasn't enough."

Ma Hongjun hurriedly backed away.

"You've already won."

"And I apologized."

"Apologized?"

Ma Xiaotao stared at him.

Ma Hongjun went pale.

"I really know I was wrong."

Ma Xiaotao did not answer.

She took one step forward, and flames swept toward him in an instant.

Before Ma Hongjun could react, the flames burned every hair off his head.

Then fire flashed across his face.

His skin quickly turned pitch-black.

His clothes were scorched to tatters, and he lay on the ground with only his eyes still able to move.

Tang Ya covered her lips as she watched.

"Now he really is a roast suckling pig."

Ma Hongjun climbed up from the ground.

He swayed several times before barely finding his balance.

Ma Xiaotao folded her arms.

"Are you going to get lost or not?"

Ma Hongjun immediately turned and ran into the distance.

Dai Mubai glanced at Ma Xiaotao, then followed him.

The two soon disappeared into the crowd.

The bystanders gradually dispersed.

Tang Ya turned to Ma Xiaotao.

"Sister Xiaotao, did we forget to ask their names?"

Ma Xiaotao paused.

"I think we did."

She turned to Qian Renxue.

"Sister Qian, do you know what they're called?"

Qian Renxue watched the direction the two had gone.

"The red-haired fat one is Ma Hongjun."

"The other is Dai Mubai."

Ma Xiaotao froze.

"Ma Hongjun?"

She stared after him, her expression growing stranger by the moment.

"That lecherous fat man was my ancestor, Ma Hongjun?"

Qian Renxue nodded gently.

Ma Xiaotao pointed at herself.

"So my ancestor took a fancy to me."

"And then I beat him senseless?"

Tang Ya stood rooted to the spot too.

She had read accounts of the Shrek Seven Devils in the Tang Sect Records.

In those accounts, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were honorable, selfless champions of justice.

But after seeing them with her own eyes today, she knew the truth was nothing like that.

"The Tang Sect Records say the Shrek Seven Devils were all righteous people."

"Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were important members, too."

Tang Ya gazed into the distance.

"But what about their behavior just now was righteous?"

"Harassing women in the street and throwing their weight around."

"If they'd been strong enough, they probably would have dragged us away."

Ma Xiaotao rubbed her forehead.

"I used to think my ancestor was someone worthy of respect."

"Now it seems I can't believe everything written in the records."

Qian Renxue stood beside them.

She looked at Ma Xiaotao, then at Tang Ya.

"Are you both from Shrek Academy?"

"No."

Tang Ya shook her head.

"We're from Shrek, but the Shrek of ten thousand years from now."

Ma Xiaotao picked up where she left off.

"Shrek in our era is completely different."

She looked at the Soul Rings on her hand.

"At the very least, it wouldn't produce people like them."

Qian Renxue's gaze moved behind her.

Two purple and four black Soul Rings remained clearly visible.

"There's something else I want to ask you."

Ma Xiaotao turned around.

"What?"

"Your Soul Ring Configuration."

Qian Renxue studied her.

"Why do you have two purple Soul Rings and four black ones?"

"The ages of your Soul Rings exceed what an ordinary Soul Master could withstand."

Before Ma Xiaotao could answer, Tang Ya laughed.

"Because of Whale Rubber."

Qian Renxue looked at Tang Ya.

"Whale Rubber?"

Tang Ya nodded.

"The same thing we gave you just now."

Qian Renxue looked down at the dark-gold Whale Rubber in her hand.

She had only thought it could strengthen the body and improve one's ability to withstand Soul Rings.

But now it seemed everything Tang Ya had said was true.

"Whale Rubber really lets you absorb older Soul Rings?"

"Of course."

Tang Ya said earnestly:

"Sister Ma Xiaotao took Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue. That's why she could absorb Soul Rings beyond her own limit."

Qian Renxue's gaze returned to the piece of Whale Rubber.

"It's really that powerful?"

Tang Ya blinked.

"Sister Qian, if we could kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, we could extract many more pieces of Whale Rubber."

Qian Renxue raised her head.

"The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?"

Tang Ya pointed at the Golden Rankings in the Firmament.

"The Soul Beast that just took eighth place."

"Its body contains a vast amount of Whale Rubber."

Tang Ya explained earnestly:

"Ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue can strengthen a Soul Master's body."

"The older it is, the stronger the effect."

"With million-year Whale Rubber, every piece can increase the age of the Soul Rings a Soul Master can absorb by over ten thousand years."

Qian Renxue stared at the Whale Rubber in her hand for a long time.

"Million-year Whale Rubber?"

"It can raise the age limit by more than ten thousand years?"

Tang Ya nodded.

"But the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has already reached the level of a Third-Level God."

"Getting Whale Rubber from its body won't be easy."

Qian Renxue looked up at the distant Firmament.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's name still hung on the Golden Rankings.

At last, she understood what this piece of Whale Rubber meant.

She also understood how Ma Xiaotao had obtained a Soul Ring Configuration so far beyond the ordinary.

"I see."

"It seems Soul Masters in your era have discovered Whale Rubber's true purpose."

Meanwhile...

Heaven Dou City.

The Dugu Family.

Dugu Bo stood in the courtyard, looking up at the Golden Rankings in the Firmament.

[Douluo Power Rankings, eighth place: Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!]

[True form: Deep Sea Demon Whale. Actual cultivation: over three hundred thousand years!]

[By devouring other Sea Soul Beasts and rare natural treasures, it forcibly increased its cultivation to nine hundred and ninety thousand years!]

Dugu Bo read the description and could not look away for a long time.

"A nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Soul Beast."

"To think a being of that level exists on this continent."

As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo already stood near the pinnacle of the Soul Master World.

Yet the experts appearing one after another on the Heaven Rankings kept shattering everything he thought he knew.

Tang Chen was a Level 99 Limit Douluo.

The Snow Empress had seven hundred thousand years of cultivation.

The Evil-Eyed Tyrant had reached seven hundred and ninety thousand years.

Now the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had nearly a million years of cultivation.

And a being like that ranked only eighth.
