Seeing that Canghui Academy was backing down, not even daring to face them, Ma Hongjun became even bolder.
After all, opportunities like this were rare. This time, he could vent his anger and assert his presence. Who knew when they'd meet the Tian Dou Royal Academy again?
"What? A bunch of cowards too scared to even shout? How about you lick Fatty's feet, and maybe I'll spare you in the upcoming match!"
As soon as Ma Hongjun finished speaking, the dozen or so Canghui Academy students about to leave all glared angrily at him.
"What are you looking at? Still want to fight Fatty? You bunch of trash."
Seeing that the Canghui students hadn't dared to say a word despite being insulted for so long, Ma Hongjun grew even more arrogant.
His plump face jabbered endlessly, criticizing Canghui Academy from top to bottom, while the rest of Shrek laughed uproariously.
It was clear he didn't take Canghui seriously at all.
The Canghui students were mostly around twenty years old. One or two insults they could tolerate, but being constantly berated on the plains was unbearable.
Their leader, furious, was about to step forward when an old, stern voice sounded beside him.
"What are you doing? Not observing the match properly and gathering to brawl?"
Following the voice, the Canghui students turned and were pleasantly surprised. Ignoring Ma Hongjun's continuous insults, they immediately gathered around.
"Teacher, these Shrek Academy students insulted our Canghui Academy as soon as we met, provoking us repeatedly. It's truly detestable."
The team leader gritted his teeth, clearly angry, and reported the situation to their supervising teacher, Shi Nian.
Shi Nian wasn't exactly a good man either, but he wouldn't allow his students to be humiliated—it would be a disgrace to Canghui Academy.
He noticed Ma Hongjun still spouting insults and his eyes flashed with a mix of killing intent and satisfaction.
His Martial Soul, Remnant Dream, hadn't slaughtered a genius in a long time. He had been waiting for the Soul Master Tournament to select targets.
He didn't dare touch those around Tian Dou Royal Academy due to the titles they carried—but the seven Shrek geniuses were perfect candidates.
Slaughtering a group of geniuses was far more entertaining. However, Tang San was already a Soul Emperor, so Shi Nian had to exercise caution.
Perhaps later, after a match with Tian Dou Royal Academy, if Tang San was injured, he could make his move.
Just as Shi Nian was considering who to target first, the one-eyed turkey Ma Hongjun shouted:
"Yo yo yo! The little white pups found their daddy, starting to bark and beg for protection?"
"Don't make a mess and stink up the arena. Go home and beg your daddy to comfort you, you bunch of trash."
Shi Nian, momentarily interrupted, looked coldly at Ma Hongjun and nodded internally.
A cocky little fatty—he'd be the first target.
Without overtly retorting (which wouldn't suit his status), he said meaningfully:"Shrek Academy really has achieved something in the art of trash talk."
Then, dismissing Shrek as insignificant, he left with the other indignant students.
"Haha, the white-robed dog daddy flies away with his dog sons."
Ma Hongjun, seeing that Shi Nian, the teacher, didn't even flinch, assumed it was fear of the teacher behind him.
"All right, that guy's strength isn't weaker than mine. You better restrain yourself."
Flandre, seeing the person had gone, intercepted Ma Hongjun and scolded him:"Ma Hongjun, that person is a Soul Saint, vengeful and unforgiving. You better be careful later."
"What? So vindictive!"
Ma Hongjun was startled and instantly regretted it, giving Flandre a plaintive look as if to say: I knew he was vindictive—why didn't you stop me?
"You even resent me now," Flandre said, slapping Ma Hongjun to wake him up."Fear nothing. From now on, stay close to us and stop causing trouble."
Flandre hadn't stopped Ma Hongjun earlier intentionally—to give him a threat, to stimulate him, and prevent him from recklessly offending the wrong people with his foul mouth.
"Yeah."
Realizing Shi Nian was not Flandre's match, Ma Hongjun relaxed a little.
Shortly after returning to the lounge, the Shrek Seven began their match against Canghui Academy.
Since the strongest among them was only a Soul Sect level, Ma Hongjun easily handled them alone.
Canghui Academy had been warned in advance and conceded quickly, avoiding major casualties.
But such a quick defeat left the dozen Canghui students demoralized. As they stepped off the stage, the smug fatty clapped his large belly as he approached.
On sighting them, Ma Hongjun shouted:"Isn't this the defeated lot? As I said, trash—leave quickly."
Then, lecherously eyeing the female students, he regretted that they had surrendered so quickly. Otherwise, he could have disciplined them properly.
Canghui Academy ignored Ma Hongjun this time, though anger simmered in their hearts, and they hurried back to the lounge.
Back at the lounge, they saw Shi Nian observing from the window and lowered their heads in shame.
"Heh heh, don't blame yourselves. Shrek Academy is strong. Losing to them is normal," Shi Nian said ominously, arms behind his back."You needn't worry. In a few days, Shrek Academy will be a thing of the past."
Too strong? Kill them, of course.
Shi Nian loved slaughtering geniuses and had his eyes on the foul-mouthed Ma Hongjun.
Matching birth with birth was the most effective method.
Hearing this, the Canghui students immediately understood their teacher's plan, exchanging knowing glances.
Laughter soon filled the lounge.
In the Shrek lounge, Ma Hongjun strutted, patting his large belly, his fat shaking happily.
Clearly, he was in a good mood after gaining attention.
As he entered, Dai Mubai approached, praising:"Not bad, fatty. One against seven. Did you see the faces of the Canghui students? Black as burnt pans."
"Heh heh, just a bunch of trash. Fatty giving them a few words is their honor. Next time I'll teach them a real lesson," Ma Hongjun chuckled.
"Good job, fatty. Next, we need to watch other teams' matches to get a preview," Tang San said briefly, then looked at Feng Xiaotian.
"Xiaotian, you know the strength of the Four Element Academies, right?"
As his master, Tang Shenwang asked, and Feng Xiaotian nodded, recounting all the known information about the Four Element Academies in detail.
