60: Ma Hongjun's mission

Gu Yuena's first reaction was that it was impossible, even if Tang San had just reached level forty-four not long ago after absorbing Blood Resentment Grass with a cultivation of ten thousand years.

However, if Tang San desperately devoured souls now, it wasn't impossible. Gu Yuena roughly calculated that for Tang San to reach Soul King in these three months, he would need to absorb the souls of at least five thousand lives.

But thinking that Tang San might continue to target Soul Beasts, a cold light flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. Her people were not something Tang San could casually ruin like this.

Dai Mubai seemed to see the worries in Gu Yue's heart and offered his own opinion.

"It would be good if Tang San discovered that absorbing the souls of humans or Soul Masters could speed things up, otherwise Tang San would have no chance unless he killed them non-stop. Also, it would be best to arrange for someone to let Tang San know that absorbing souls full of resentment can maximize the effect."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena nodded, turned around, and went out to arrange for the Soul Beasts under her command to do this.

Dai Mubai, looking at the smug Tang San, couldn't help but yawn and mutter to himself.

"Looks like Tang San needs to feel a sense of crisis."

With that said, Dai Mubai also turned and came to Shrek Academy, finding that his match was against the Plant Academy.

So Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun, who seemed a bit eager to try, and assigned him a task.

"Fatty, you can solo the Plant Academy, right? Remember, it has to be faster than Tang San defeating Cang Hui Academy."

When Ma Hongjun heard the task Dai Mubai assigned him, he confidently patted his chest and promised.

"Don't worry, with Oscar's Sausage buff, I guarantee I'll take care of the entire Plant Academy within ten breaths."

Seeing Ma Hongjun's confident look, Dai Mubai nodded in satisfaction and sat down again, ready to watch the show.

After the host finished the introductions, Shrek Academy and Plant Academy also simultaneously came face to face with each other.

"Sisters, you're all so beautiful, why don't you just surrender? I can't bear to hurt you."

Yao Zi, the captain of Plant Academy, couldn't help but feel helpless and bitter. They were the second of the Four Element Academies to encounter Shrek Academy.

Even Blazing Fire Academy hadn't been able to last more than ten breaths against the terrifying Shrek Academy.

Their teacher had originally advised them to give up the match, saying that the opponent's ultimate fire Soul Master was too restraining for them. But Yao Zi held her breath; if her academy conceded, the result would obviously be ridiculed by other academies.

Although everyone knew how terrifying Shrek Academy was, even if they could last a little longer against Shrek Academy, they wouldn't be considered to have lost the honor of being a Four Element Academy.

More importantly, Yao Zi believed that with her fire-resistant Blazing Thorn Martial Soul, as long as she could withstand the first wave of burst damage, there might be a possibility of eliminating one or two of the Shrek members.

However, upon hearing Ma Hongjun's provocation, Yao Zi was not annoyed. She smiled and spoke in a coquettish tone, deliberately provoking Ma Hongjun.

"But little brother, it would be too embarrassing for me to just surrender like this. Can you think of a way for your sister?"

Hearing Yao Zi's coquettish voice, Ma Hongjun's heart melted. He immediately patted his chest and said.

"Alright then, only I will be on the field for this match. If the sisters can defeat me, consider it a loss for our Shrek Academy, how about that?"

Ma Hongjun's words were undoubtedly a veiled insult to the seven members of Plant Academy. Seeing her teammates getting angry, Yao Zi stopped them.

Ma Hongjun's action was exactly what she wanted, but Yao Zi still pretended to be coquettish and used a provoking tactic.

"Then little brother, can you make the decision for your academy?"

Seeing this, although a cold light flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, she still chose to wave her hand and lead the others away directly.

After all, the current action fit one of Dai Mubai's planned objectives.

"Fatty, be careful not to mess up! Hahaha"

"Go Fatty! One against seven!"

Listening to Oscar and Ning Rongrong's encouragement, the corner of Ma Hongjun's mouth became more and more smug, until Gu Yuena looked back with that cold gaze.

This made Ma Hongjun realize the seriousness of the situation and he became serious.

The moment the referee announced the start, Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul possessed him and he flew into the air, then directly stuffed Oscar's Excitement Sausage into his mouth.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Flame Phoenix Meteor Shower"

Then, the instant his fourth soul skill lit up, countless burning phoenix feathers within a hundred meters directly attacked the people of Plant Academy.

It wasn't until Yao Zi, who was charging at the front with her fourth soul skill, Thorn Rain, saw it instantly merge with Ma Hongjun's Flame Phoenix Meteor Shower upon contact, that she realized how ridiculous her idea was.

The phoenix feathers carrying the ultimate fire instantly turned her Blazing Thorns into ashes.

Furthermore, Yao Zi's subsequent third soul skill, Thorn City, also turned into ashes after only lasting one breath under the Flame Phoenix Meteor Shower.

There was even less to say about the soul skills of the other members of Plant Academy. The Plant Academy team seemed to be trying their best but still couldn't resist. Just as Ma Hongjun's Flame Phoenix Meteor Shower was about to seriously injure the seven members of Plant Academy, Ma Hongjun directly ended his fourth soul skill.

Then he accelerated and came above them, blocking his own fourth soul skill for them.

Then Ma Hongjun turned and slowly bowed like a gentleman to the seven members of Plant Academy.

"Sorry for startling you sisters."

Seeing this, Yao Zi smiled bitterly and shook her head. Looking at the unharmed group, she felt a trace of goodwill towards Ma Hongjun.

Although the person in front of her had an average appearance and was a bit fat, his terrifying talent, the restraint he showed when attacking, and his demeanor when chatting indeed made people feel quite good.

Then, after Yao Zi voluntarily signaled surrender, she walked up to Ma Hongjun, extended her hand, and spoke with a generous smile.

"Little brother is very strong, we sisters understand."

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun shook Yao Zi's jade hand, chuckled, and whispered a dirty joke.

"Sister, I'm even stronger at night."

Hearing Ma Hongjun's dirty joke, Yao Zi immediately withdrew her hand. Her face flushed red, and she gave Ma Hongjun a look of helplessness and shyness.

However, she didn't dislike Ma Hongjun's behavior; after all, someone too dull is also hard to like.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun felt he had a chance. He left the arena grinning, ready to go back and brag.

Meanwhile, the teammates of Plant Academy couldn't help but tease Yao Zi, whose cheeks were slightly red.

On the other side, when the Golden Generation truly saw the terrifying strength of a single Shrek member, Hu Liena couldn't help but praise.

"The burst of the ten-thousand-year range soul skill he just released is equivalent to a Soul King's full-power attack. It's truly not simple."

Yan, seeing Hu Liena praising someone else like this again, pouted in dissatisfaction and spoke with a hint of displeasure.

"He's not a Soul King after all, there's a gap in soul power storage."

Then Yan didn't continue speaking, as he also knew that he might not gain anything from a real fight with Ma Hongjun.

Chrysanthemum Douluo also thought about the power of Ma Hongjun's soul skill and felt a cold sweat for the three members of the Golden Generation. With such a terrifying existence, Shrek team still had four more.

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but doubt if the Golden Generation had a chance of winning, especially since even the vice-captain, Gu Yuena, hadn't gone all out yet.

Not to mention there was an even more terrifying Dai Mubai who had never made a move.

While Chrysanthemum Douluo was worrying about how the Golden Generation would fight against Shrek team, Ma Hongjun was already confidently bragging non-stop.

Dai Mubai didn't pay too much attention to this, but judging by the reaction of Plant Academy's captain, Yao Zi, on the field, the two had a chance.

So Dai Mubai spoke with a teasing tone.

"Ma Hongjun, what do you think of the Plant Academy captain?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's old face turned red. To be honest, he had a good impression of Yao Zi. Her figure and Martial Soul were both top-notch, and Ma Hongjun didn't care about her age.

"Then go give it a try."

Oscar directly nudged the somewhat hesitant Ma Hongjun with his elbow.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun also became full of confidence and went directly to find Yao Zi.

Dai Mubai, thinking that he had solved the matter of Ma Hongjun's potential partner, also let out a long breath, as this problem had bothered Dai Mubai for quite some time.

But there had been no progress. Although Yao Zi was a bit hot-tempered and stubborn, she at least accepted her defeat, and overall, she was someone who understood the bigger picture, much better than someone who would only think of underhanded tactics after losing.

Moreover, Yao Zi was much better than Bai Chenxiang, who had disliked Ma Hongjun from the start.

Thinking this, Dai Mubai stretched and signaled everyone to leave.

At this time, the people watching the match at Blue Tyrant Academy were silent. Even the fire-resistant Blazing Thorns couldn't last a single breath against Ma Hongjun's ultimate fire.

And their strongest control system Soul Master was plant-based. Yu Xiaogang cursed the members of Shrek Academy for a bit, then patted Tang San's shoulder and encouraged him.

"Xiao San, your teacher believes in you unconditionally! You can defeat the people from Shrek Academy in the future."

Yu Xiaogang's words of encouragement also made Tang San secretly determined. He thought about how his mutated Soul Devouring Grass Martial Soul could now evolve by devouring souls.

At this moment, Tang San's desire to become stronger and defeat Shrek Academy grew even stronger in his eyes...
