After being tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the Dragon Soul Spear now consumes very little soul power.
Therefore, Ma Hongjun has enough time to practice his spear techniques with his martial soul, the Dragon Soul Spear.
Chen Cheng truly lives up to his reputation as a sword genius; he grasps many things instantly and can create his own sword techniques independently.
Geniuses often see things from a different perspective than ordinary people; Chen Cheng's world revolves solely around the sword.
He comprehends his own sword techniques from Ma Hongjun's spear techniques, and Ma Hongjun also learns a great deal from him.
The two become good friends.
After spending two months at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong prepare to return. They have seen the people they needed to see and learned the things they needed to learn; it's time to return to the academy.
Shrek Academy now boasts complete facilities, including a simulated cultivation environment.
Before, without a simulated cultivation environment, everyone's cultivation progressed so quickly; now that they have one, the cultivation speed is even more terrifying. With Oscar and Xiao Yuanyuan's hot dog assistance, they advance about one level per month.
It's important to understand that the higher the level, the harder it is to advance. These individuals are already Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters, yet they can still maintain a monthly level increase—this is truly astonishing.
Because Tang San hasn't returned yet, the Shrek Academy team isn't undergoing special training but is instead focusing on cultivation and leveling up.
In comparison, except for Xiang Chengxian and Xiao Yuanyuan, they are all still young and could participate in the next competition.
This is the Youth Soul Master Competition, and most of them are still teenagers.
The age difference translates directly into a level difference.
Ning Rongrong has also joined the cultivation. After consuming the immortal product, her talent has been further enhanced. As long as she doesn't slack off, catching up with the others is only a matter of time. Among
the hundreds of students at Blue Tyrant Academy, none can compare to the eight from Shrek Academy in terms of talent.
Black and White Tiger, Xiang Chengxian, and Dai Mubai have rightfully become the academy's elder brothers and sisters.
Compared to the previous Shrek Academy, the current Shrek Academy, now replaced by Blue Tyrant, clearly feels more like an academy.
Entering the campus, a youthful atmosphere permeates the air.
Because it's an advanced Soul Master academy, all the students here are over twelve years old.
Although only commoners were recruited, Liu Erlong had always treated the students very well. Leaving aside the food, the uniforms alone were enough to make anyone's heart flutter.
The male students' outfits were negligible.
The female students dressed particularly fresh and clean, all wearing ultra-short skirts.
Seeing the familiar ultra-short skirts with the Fairy Clothing Pavilion logo, Ma Hongjun realized the uniforms came from his shop. It must have been Xiang Chengxian who facilitated it.
But this was how it should be; this was what youth should look like.
Ma Hongjun unconsciously exuded an aura of hormones.
"Hongjun, you're finally back!"
Dai Mubai greeted him happily, having missed his brother dearly after so long.
"Wow, look, it's Dai Mubai! So handsome!"
"It really is Dai Mubai!"
"It's a pity he has a tigress."
"That red-haired guy next to him is also so handsome. Which class is he in? I've never seen him before." "
I wonder if that red-haired guy has a girlfriend. Do I still have a chance?"
...
Unexpectedly, in just over two months, Dai Mubai had become the school heartthrob, capturing the hearts of countless female fans.
Hearing someone praise him, Ma Hongjun was overjoyed.
So this is what it feels like to be the school heartthrob!
So many female admirers... I wonder if I can eat some rice noodles.
Ugh, disgusting!
Ma Hongjun spat, his thoughts too filthy. How could he do such a vile thing? He couldn't even think about it.
Even if others admired him and wanted something from him, he couldn't use that to satisfy his selfish desires unless he was responsible for them. Otherwise, he shouldn't eat rice noodles.
Some things are better left unlearned.
"What's wrong, Hongjun?" Dai Mubai asked, noticing Ma Hongjun's absent-minded gaze and his shifting expressions, one moment smiling, the next serious.
"Oh, nothing, I just missed you guys. Let's go, let's go to class."
The teaching methods and environment here were much more formal. All the students here were level 20 or above.
Levels 20 to 25 were the largest group, levels 25 to 30 were the second largest, and levels 30 and above were the third largest, with only about thirty students.
All students above level 30 were in the same class.
Ma Hongjun, holding Ning Rongrong's hand, entered the classroom with Dai Mubai.
It wasn't time for class yet, but the classroom was already sparsely populated. All eyes were on Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong, with people quietly gossiping about the two new students. The classroom was
roughly half male and half female. Ma Hongjun glanced around and saw Zhu Zhuqing sitting in the corner, but a burly man was already seated next to her.
With Zhu Zhuqing's impressive figure, she was indeed easy to attract suitors, and thanks to Ma Hongjun's encouragement, she wasn't as aloof as before, so people often approached her.
"That guy's name is Tailong. He used to be the academy's top dog. He got a beating from Chengxian, but he's still not behaving himself. He's shameless and always tries to get close to Zhuqing during class."
Dai Mubai explained, seeing Ma Hongjun staring at Tailong.
"Mubai, that's not fair! How could you let Zhuqing get harassed while I wasn't here?"
"I told him, this guy is too shameless. I warned him, but he said I'm not Zhuqing's boyfriend and can't stop him from pursuing her.
Zhuqing also told him she has a boyfriend, but he just won't believe it. He's persistent and won't give up until he sees Zhuqing's boyfriend.
He's not being unreasonable in the academy; it's just normal pursuit. It's not right to beat him up like this.
I thought, since you're coming back anyway, you can just put an end to his thoughts then.
You can teach him a lesson; it's perfectly justified."
Ma Hongjun knew this Tailong; he came from the Li Clan and in the original story, he pursued Xiaowu and was then punished by Tang San.
This guy is a bit troublesome because the Power Clan is notoriously protective of its own. In the original story, Tang San beat him up, and his father came; then Tang San beat up his father, and his grandfather came.
Is Ma Hongjun going to play out this drama now?
"This guy is so annoying, daring to bother Sister Zhuqing! Brother, let's go teach him a lesson!" Ning Rongrong said, clenching her little fists.
"Let's go, let's go."
Zhu Zhuqing also saw Ma Hongjun approaching, a faint smile appearing on her face, but she didn't say anything.
At this moment, Tailong was sitting to Zhu Zhuqing's left, and there were still a few empty seats to her right.
Ma Hongjun took Ning Rongrong's hand and sat down to Zhu Zhuqing's right.
"Kid, are you two new here? Go sit over there." The burly Tailong looked at Ma Hongjun with displeasure, pointing to the empty seats on the other side of the classroom.
Ma Hongjun ignored him, not even glancing at him, his eyes fixed entirely on Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, did you miss me?"
Ma Hongjun moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing, put his hand on her shoulder, and pulled her close to lean against his shoulder.
"No!"
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
It seemed that she was still a little upset about Ma Hongjun going to Ning Rongrong's house. However, although she said that, Zhu Zhuqing did not resist Ma Hongjun's actions.
Ning Rongrong, who was standing next to him, also leaned on Ma Hongjun's other shoulder, looking mischievous and not jealous at all. Instead, she looked at Tailong with great curiosity, waiting for his reaction.
Tailong looked at Ma Hongjun with a bewildered and surprised expression. He had been at the academy for more than two months, and the usually aloof and indifferent Zhu Zhuqing had actually fallen into a man's arms like this.
He had been pestering her for so long, but he hadn't even gotten a proper welcome from her.
At this moment, the scene in the classroom was a bit strange. Ma Hongjun was in a corner. The other students were sitting in the front, more concentrated areas, all looking at them curiously.
Ma Hongjun had one on each arm and whispered sweet nothings to the two girls.
"Zhuqing, you've gotten even bigger."
"Rongrong, you've gotten even fairer."
"How have you two been these past two months?"
"Don't worry, Zhuqing, we haven't done anything at my house these past two months."
"That's not what I meant."
"Class is about to start, we'll talk after class. I've saved up all of these past two months, I'll give them to you tonight."
The two girls blushed instantly.
Tailong, who was standing next to them, snapped out of his daze, swallowed hard, and couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing.
He got up to leave.
"Class is in session, don't talk, sit still."
Today's teacher was Lu Qibin. Lu Qibin was quite serious, so generally no student dared to jump around in his class, otherwise they would be stuck there like a chess piece.
Tailong slowly sat back down. At this moment, he had countless questions he wanted to ask Zhu Zhuqing, and even wanted to duel with Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun glanced at Tailong, smiled coldly, and continued to cuddle with the two girls.
The four of them sat in a row, the three of them very close together, only Tailong was restless to the side.
Showing off their love is the most lethal way to get revenge, especially since Tailong is currently pursuing Zhu Zhuqing.
Ma Hongjun is not only inseparable from Zhu Zhuqing, but also has Ning Rongrong added to the mix, which will undoubtedly deal Tailong a massive blow to his ego.
This subtle form of manipulation is the most exciting and satisfying.
Tailong has no choice but to eat this dog food today, whether he likes it or not.
He'll be stuffed full.
Let's see if he dares to sit here again.
