Brutalizing Shrek!

"Although extreme cases of martial soul mutation do exist, they could never transform an ordinary Soul Master so completely in such a short time."

"This utterly contradicts the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul."

Grandmaster's explanation sounded feeble and unconvincing. Even Dai Mubai and the others looked doubtful.

No matter how he tried, Grandmaster could not understand why a Soul Master abandoned by Shrek could possess such terrifying ultimate fire.

Amid the shock and panic.

Only Zhu Zhuqing stood in the corner.

The black-clad woman let out a long breath, her tense shoulders finally relaxing.

As she watched that upright figure on the platform, a trace of relief flickered through Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes, unnoticed even by herself.

This man was finally no longer a weakling anyone could bully.

Zhu Zhuqing watched Chen Jin, all her worries fading as an unfamiliar feeling gradually arose in her heart.

On the Soul Fighting Platform.

Chen Jin remained composed as he slowly withdrew his martial soul.

The golden flames gradually died out, but their lingering sacred might still enveloped the entire venue.

He began walking unhurriedly toward where Ma Hongjun lay.

His boots struck the shattered stone slabs with crisp clicks.

Every step seemed to land on the hearts of everyone from Shrek.

Chen Jin's expression was calm, devoid of any emotion, as though he were approaching something utterly insignificant.

Ma Hongjun struggled amid the rubble. Hearing the approaching footsteps, his body shuddered.

The fat boy raised his head with difficulty, his scorched face filled with terror.

Looking at that handsome yet utterly expressionless face, Ma Hongjun felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head.

"You... what are you going to do?"

Ma Hongjun desperately pulled himself backward, trying to put some distance between them.

His movements were too forceful and tugged at his wounds. The pain made him bare his teeth, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face.

Chen Jin stopped three paces in front of Ma Hongjun and looked down at the fat boy, who lay there like a heap of sludge.

"Ma Hongjun."

Chen Jin's tone was steady.

"Back at Shrek Academy, you relied on Flender's favoritism and your so-called top-tier martial soul to mock and sneer at me plenty, didn't you?"

"'Trash'-words like that used to roll right off your tongue."

"I've kept an account of every humiliation you've inflicted on me over the years."

Chen Jin spoke slowly, every word making Ma Hongjun feel as though he had plunged into an ice cavern.

His gaze settled on Ma Hongjun without a trace of warmth.

Seeing the undisguised coldness in Chen Jin's eyes, Ma Hongjun immediately panicked.

"Chen Jin! I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

"We were at the same academy, at least! We're all classmates! You can't kill me!"

"Brother San! Grandmaster! Save me!"

Ma Hongjun howled loudly, tears and snot mixing with the blood on his face in a thoroughly disgusting sight.

The fat boy tried to grab Chen Jin's trouser leg with both hands, but the young man stepped away in disgust.

Watching Ma Hongjun wag his tail and beg for mercy, disgust flashed through Chen Jin's eyes.

"Classmates?"

"Now you remember we were classmates?"

Chen Jin spat out the words coldly.

The next moment, Chen Jin raised his right leg.

A wisp of golden ultimate fire gathered at the tip of his boot, radiating terrifying heat.

Ignoring Ma Hongjun's pleas entirely, Chen Jin drove a heavy kick into his crotch beneath Ma Hongjun's utterly terrified gaze.

Crack!

It came with the dull crunch of shattering bone and the sizzling of burning flesh.

Ma Hongjun's scream climbed to an unbelievable pitch.

The sound was shrill and piercing, filled with endless agony.

Chen Jin's kick carried formidable physical strength while sending ultimate fire into Ma Hongjun's body, burning the meridians, blood, and vital energy in his lower body to nothing.

From that moment on, the fat boy renowned for his evil fire, who could not live without women, became a cripple.

Chen Jin flicked the tip of his boot upward.

Ma Hongjun's obese body flew into the air, tracing an arc.

He slammed heavily into the open space in Shrek Academy's rest area.

Dust billowed.

Ma Hongjun curled into a ball, clutching his crotch with both hands as he rolled back and forth on the ground.

Blackened blood soaked through his trousers, giving off a foul, scorched smell.

The intense agony left Ma Hongjun unable to make a sound. He could only convulse on the ground, white foam spilling from his mouth.

The fat boy's body rolled across the ground, leaving horrifying streaks of blood.

The sight plunged the still-murmuring spectator stands into an eerie silence once more.

Everyone watching Ma Hongjun struggle in agony on the ground involuntarily pressed their legs together.

So ruthless!

This was simply crueler than killing Ma Hongjun.

"This man... must never be provoked."

"Chen Jin from Blazing Fire Academy. If we run into him in the future, we have to give him a wide berth."

"So vicious. He's a complete madman."

The spectators whispered among themselves, their gazes toward Chen Jin now carrying a greater measure of fear.

An oppressive pressure that set hearts trembling permeated the Great Soul Arena.

Over at Shrek Academy, everyone finally reacted.

Dai Mubai and Tang San rushed forward at once, holding Ma Hongjun down as they tried to examine his injuries.

However, when Tang San probed the fat boy's body with his soul power, his expression turned exceedingly grim.

"He's ruined..."

Tang San's voice trembled.

The ultimate fire had destroyed Ma Hongjun's body while also severely damaging his martial soul origin.

Ma Hongjun could forget about touching women for the rest of his life, and his cultivation would also be hindered.

"Chen Jin!"

Dai Mubai rose, his sinister eyes filled with fury.

"How could you be so vicious!"

Yu Xiaogang also stepped forward, his face ashen as he pointed a trembling finger at Chen Jin on the platform.

"Chen Jin, you've utterly lost your mind!"

"Hongjun was your classmate! Even if he offended you with his words before, you should never have struck so viciously!"

"Destroying someone's foundation and cutting off his future! Someone as cruel as you, who disregards all past ties, doesn't deserve to be a Soul Master!"

Amplified by soul power, Yu Xiaogang's voice resounded throughout the Great Soul Arena.

His words rang with righteous indignation.

In the surrounding stands, quite a few spectators looked hesitant.

To many, Chen Jin's kick had indeed been far too merciless.

Destroying Ma Hongjun's lifelong cultivation and happiness was indeed vicious.

At the center of the Soul Fighting Platform.

Chen Jin stood quietly.

As he listened to Yu Xiaogang's accusations, his handsome face showed no anger, only undisguised contempt.

"Classmates?"

Chen Jin spoke.

Wrapped in his powerful ultimate fire soul power, his voice reached every corner with perfect clarity.

"Yu Xiaogang, you actually have the nerve to talk about bonds between classmates here?"

His voice was steady, yet carried the weight of a thousand mountains, drowning out Yu Xiaogang's clamor.

Yu Xiaogang's expression froze.

Chen Jin turned and looked down at everyone from Shrek Academy.

"Shrek Academy calls itself a cradle of monsters, a gathering place for elites."

"In reality, it's nothing more than a filthy den sheltering corruption, where criminals and wrongdoers gather."

An uproar swept through the arena at those words.

Tens of thousands of spectators exchanged looks, stunned by this declaration.

"You're spouting slander!"

Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage, his gaunt face filled with humiliation and anger.

Chen Jin ignored Yu Xiaogang's shouting entirely and pointed instead at Ma Hongjun, who was screaming on the ground.

"Slander?"

"Ma Hongjun relied on his so-called Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul and his status as a Soul Master. In Suotuo City and those remote towns, how many innocent commoner women did he forcibly bully and violate?"

"Those women were all ordinary people without any soul power. Faced with a Soul Master's tyranny, they could only swallow their anger in silence."

"Some women even had their families torn apart and their entire lives destroyed because of Ma Hongjun's atrocities."

"And your Shrek Academy not only failed to discipline him, but used the excuse that 'evil fire needs an outlet' to justify and cover up his crimes at every turn."

Chen Jin's voice echoed through the Great Soul Arena, every word like a heavy hammer striking everyone's hearts.

"How is condoning such criminal behavior any different from being an Evil Soul Master?"

"Crippling Ma Hongjun today was merely seeking justice for those innocent women whose chastity he destroyed."

"How does such a filthy academy deserve to speak of old ties?"

After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang hurried to defend himself.

"Hongjun only acted that way because a defect in his martial soul mutation caused evil fire to attack his heart! He never intended it!"

"There are always flaws in a Soul Master's cultivation! How can you blow this so far out of proportion!"

Chen Jin sneered, the disdain in his eyes deepening.

"He never intended it?"

"Then who will bear the pain of those women whose lives were destroyed?"

"Can saying he never intended it erase his crimes?"

"You, a Grandmaster who claims to be unrivaled in theory, are nothing but a selfish hypocrite with a mouth full of righteousness and morality."

A deathly silence fell over the Great Soul Arena.

After that brief silence, discussion erupted like mountains toppling and seas surging.

"Heavens, something like that actually happened?"

"Forcing himself on commoner women? How is that any different from thugs and bandits?"

"Shrek Academy actually protects a villain like that! Disgusting!"

"And here I thought Shrek was some prestigious academy! It turns out they're a pack of robbers and bullies!"

"Good riddance! Someone like him deserves to have his family line cut off!"

The anger of the commoner Soul Masters and ordinary spectators ignited.

Countless gazes filled with contempt and fury shot toward Shrek Academy's area in unison.

On the Douluo Continent, commoners already struggled to survive. Now that they heard of a Soul Master oppressing commoners like this, they naturally felt their suffering as their own and were exceptionally furious.

Everyone from Shrek became the target of public condemnation.

Ning Rongrong paled and instinctively took a step back.

Though this young woman was spoiled and willful, she was also the cherished jewel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She had never imagined that her companions at Shrek had done such things outside.

Disgust flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She could not even be bothered to glance at Ma Hongjun on the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing had long known what Ma Hongjun was like. Now that Chen Jin had exposed him in public, she felt a rush of satisfaction.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was deeply flustered. Watching the people around them point and criticize, she did not know what to do.

Tang San stared at Chen Jin, both hands clenched into fists.

His eyes were filled with malice. He had not expected Chen Jin to expose Shrek's true nature in public.

Yu Xiaogang was so furious that he nearly spat blood.

The reputation he had painstakingly built was being trampled beneath Chen Jin's feet at this very moment.

In the VIP seats.

Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes as he looked toward Shrek Academy, a flicker of disgust passing through his gaze.

"So that's how it is. Committing crimes and shielding villains. This Shrek Academy truly is disgraceful."

Xue Qinghe murmured to himself, his opinion of Shrek Academy plummeting to rock bottom.

Meanwhile, in Blazing Fire Academy's area.

Huo Wu's beautiful eyes shone brightly, her hands clasped together.

"Great beating! Even better words!"

Huo Wu shouted, excitement written all over her delicate face.

Huo Wushuang also nodded to himself, feeling sincere admiration for what Chen Jin had done.

Faced with condemnation from the entire arena, Shrek Academy's reputation sank to the freezing point.

"Chen Jin!"

A furious shout rang out.

Dai Mubai abruptly strode forward.

Blazing fury burned in his sinister eyes.

As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai had immense pride etched into his bones.

Although he often lingered in brothels himself, Dai Mubai would never allow anyone to tear away that fig leaf in public.

What was more, Chen Jin's words had nailed all of Shrek Academy to the pillar of shame.

Before stepping onto the platform, Dai Mubai instinctively glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

Dai Mubai hoped to see concern or support in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

Yet there was nothing but indifference in her gaze.

She even turned her head away, unwilling to spare him so much as another glance.

That cold treatment sent the fury in Dai Mubai's heart spiraling out of control.

"Today, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Dai Mubai leaped, his entire body like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, crossing dozens of meters before slamming down onto the Soul Fighting Platform.

Boom!

The marble surface shuddered, sending dust flying.

"Boss Dai, cripple that brat!"

Oscar shouted from below the platform.

"Show him how powerful we Shrek people are!"

The Shrek group all began shouting.

In their eyes, Chen Jin was nothing but a traitor. What right did he have to swagger around here?

Only Tang San remained silent, his gaze dark as he stared at the young man on the platform.

Zhu Zhuqing likewise said nothing, watching coldly from the sidelines.

On the Soul Fighting Platform.

Dai Mubai and Chen Jin faced each other twenty meters apart.

Despite his furious words, Dai Mubai had seen Ma Hongjun defeated in a single move with his own eyes.

Dai Mubai knew full well that the Chen Jin before him was no longer the worthless weakling he could bully at will.

This man's strength was unfathomable.

I have to use my full strength.

Dai Mubai drew a deep breath, Soul Power surging within him.

"White Tiger, possess me!"

With a roar.

The muscles throughout Dai Mubai's body swelled, his tall frame growing even more imposing.

His golden hair danced wildly in the wind, and the black character for "king" faintly appeared on his forehead.

His hands transformed into enormous tiger claws, each fingertip like a sharp blade, radiating dazzling light.

Two yellow and two purple Soul Rings-the optimal configuration of four-rose from beneath Dai Mubai's feet, pulsing around his body.

Powerful waves of Soul Power spread through the air, stirring ripples visible to the naked eye.

Dai Mubai had no intention of testing him.

Right from the outset, he would use his strongest strike to crush Chen Jin.

"Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower!"

Dai Mubai let out a furious shout.

The fourth, purple Soul Ring beneath his feet blazed with light.

Countless streaks of golden light rapidly gathered above Dai Mubai's head.

Every streak contained explosive power.

In the blink of an eye.

Hundreds upon thousands of white tiger light orbs rained down on Chen Jin like a dense meteor shower, blanketing the sky.

The golden light illuminated the entire Great Soul Arena, bathing the platform in gold.

Violent air currents ravaged the platform, making Chen Jin's robes snap in the wind.

"Die!"

Dai Mubai's expression was savage.

This strike carried Dai Mubai's full strength.

Dai Mubai was certain that even a Power Attack System Soul Master above rank forty would never dare take this move head-on.
