Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 404 Ma Hongjun: My body is covered in flags

At this moment, the students on duty guarding the entrance of Shrek Academy were dumbfounded, standing there in shock!

He could easily see that the people standing in front of him were none other than Han Feng, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun themselves!

The idol of the entire Shrek Academy stood right in front of him!

After the initial shock came fear. Recalling his previous attitude towards Han Feng and Dai Mubai, he couldn't help but tremble. Although all the students of Shrek Academy regarded the Shrek Eight Monsters as their idols, to be fair, the image that Han Feng and the others left in the minds of these students was not exactly kind and approachable!

Han Feng and his friends earned their reputation entirely through fighting!

However, Han Feng and his group did not intend to make things difficult for the student on duty. After all, he was just doing things according to the rules and was their junior. If they were to teach him a lesson, Liu Erlong and the others would probably nag him a lot!

The biggest mistake this student made was not recognizing people, but that wasn't his fault. In terms of talent alone, he wasn't a genius, and his cultivation speed was average. The reason he was able to break through to level 40 at the age of 20 was entirely due to his arduous and persistent cultivation attitude. Apart from necessary daily activities, he spent all his time cultivating, so naturally he didn't recognize the elusive Han Feng and Dai Mubai!

Under Ma Hongjun's guidance, the group entered Shrek Academy without any problems.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong seemed to have endless things to talk about, and they stuck together as soon as they met, with a few melodious giggles coming from time to time.

Dai Mubai guessed that he was still resentful that Han Feng had made fun of him before he was born. He walked next to Han Feng and said a few sarcastic remarks, which were nothing more than that a dignified representative of justice had ended up being unknown to everyone.

Han Feng completely ignored Dai Mubai, following behind Ma Hongjun with a sneaky look, scrutinizing Ma Hongjun with his eyes like a scanner.

"Fatty!" Han Feng suddenly walked up, casually draped his arm over Ma Hongjun's shoulder, cleared his throat, and said, "I think you shouldn't care about what others think! You should live according to your own wishes, eat and drink as you please, why suffer the pain of dieting?"

Unfortunately, people should look at each other with new eyes after three days of separation. Ma Hongjun, who has been training outside for four years, is no longer the simpleton who was once manipulated by Han Feng!

Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes at Han Feng and said, "My dear Brother Feng! Don't you feel guilty saying that? Besides, look at me now, how can I be associated with being fat?"

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun smiled confidently.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng narrowed his eyes, realizing that Ma Hongjun was no longer as easily fooled as before!

Thinking of this, Han Feng could only sigh with feigned regret, saying as if talking to himself, "Alas! What a pity about those self-created soul skills I prepared for you! They were all practical soul skills no weaker than the Flame Dragon Armor!"

"Meatball Impact? Or Human Bomber Tank?" Ma Hongjun wasn't fooled at all. Instead, he seemed to see right through it and asked disdainfully.

"Hiss!" Han Feng gasped slightly, giving Ma Hongjun a deep look!

Even Dai Mubai, upon hearing Ma Hongjun's answer, couldn't help but step forward, solemnly pat Ma Hongjun's shoulder, and say meaningfully, "Life out there must be tough!"

Ma Hongjun shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "That's fine!"

How could one change so much without experiencing some things?

Unlike the original story, where Ma Hongjun spent five years in Tiandou City as a nobleman, enjoying a life of luxury and comfort, although his cultivation did not stagnate, he lacked a sense of decisiveness and enlightenment. But now it's different. Because he was provoked by his brothers, Ma Hongjun has been training outside for four years. Who knows what kind of monsters he will encounter?

You can tell just by looking at his cultivation level. In the original story, Ma Hongjun was only level 57 or 58 at that time, but now he is already level 60. He is just one soul ring away from becoming a true Soul Emperor!

But then again, in these past five years, who has really had it easy and comfortable?

Han Feng's journey to the far north, Dai Mubai's Heavenly Fiend God Trial, Tang San's Slaughter City, and Oscar's mercenary career—these were all fraught with danger!

That's life for Soul Masters, especially for genius Soul Masters. If you don't advance, you fall behind. If you want to live a comfortable and peaceful life, you shouldn't have chosen to become a Soul Master in the first place!

Therefore, Han Feng and Dai Mubai didn't feel much nostalgia or sentimentality about Ma Hongjun's unknown four years. After a simple sigh, they moved on. Han Feng even said calmly, "How about this! To celebrate the brothers' reunion, Fatty! I'll treat you to a meal! Eat as much as you want! Fatty intestines from the north of the city! Braised pork hock from the west of the city! Thousand-layer milk from the city center! If you can't finish it, you don't consider me a brother!"

Ultimately, Han Feng still wanted Ma Hongjun to be a bit more rounded.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but roll his eyes. With Ma Hongjun's current temperament, he probably wouldn't be so easily fooled!

To Dai Mubai's surprise, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at Han Feng, asking each word carefully, "Are you sure!?"

Han Feng blinked. He had just said it casually to lighten the mood, and he really didn't expect Ma Hongjun to take the bait!

But if it could help Ma Hongjun "turn back from the wrong path," Han Feng would be happy to do it, patting his chest and confidently declaring, "Absolutely!"

I'm not worried about Ma Hongjun eating too much, I'm worried about Ma Hongjun not eating at all!

Right now, the thing Han Feng has in abundance is Soul Coins!

"Haha!" Ma Hongjun was overjoyed, revealing a lewd expression of triumph. He sneered, "You said it yourself, Boss Dai is my witness! I'm not afraid to tell you, my physique is already set! No matter how much I eat, it will only be refined by the Phoenix Fire within me. From now on, I will only get slimmer and slimmer, I can't possibly get fatter anymore! Haha!"

"I'm definitely eating this meal!"

"Holy crap!?" Han Feng was immediately shocked after Ma Hongjun said this, staring at him in disbelief and even cursing out loud—how could he, Han Feng, who had been so wise all his life, have been tricked by Ma Hongjun today!?

Ma Hongjun must have waited five years for this day!

Ma Hongjun was very satisfied with Han Feng's current expression and grinned smugly, which also made Dai Mubai look amused!

Dai Mubai will never forget the time when Han Feng made him hand-wash white socks and changed his face twice a day!

"I don't think it will work!" Just then, a familiar yet sarcastic voice rang out from behind them.

"What does Fatty and Fengzi have to do with each other... Holy crap! Xiao Ao!" Dai Mubai was about to curse back instinctively. After all, it wasn't easy to trick Han Feng once, so how could he let someone else interfere!?

But when Dai Mubai turned around, he saw two figures, a man and a woman. The man was ridiculously handsome. Just one glance from him would make countless lovelorn women swoon. His peach blossom eyes even had a seductive quality. The scar at the corner of his eye did not diminish his good looks at all. Instead, it added a touch of unruly and dashing charm to his appearance!

The woman was equally graceful, with long hair covering her eyes, but the lower half of her face was extremely delicate, and her figure was slender, like a lotus flower, its fragrance spreading far and wide, she must have been an extremely beautiful person.

And that man was none other than Oscar!

Upon hearing the name "Little Oscar," everyone turned around and, upon seeing Oscar, all showed expressions of joy.

Only Ma Hongjun looked displeased.

"Tsk!" Ma Hongjun clicked his tongue lightly, looking at Oscar with a cold gaze. He said to Oscar, "You bastard Oscar! What kind of trouble are you trying to cause now? Brother Feng agreed to it himself, what does it have to do with you!? You just can't stand to see me take advantage, can you!?"

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun even summoned the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, with five spirit rings of yellow, purple, and black appearing. The blazing phoenix fire even caused the temperature in Shrek Academy to rise several degrees out of thin air!

However, the onlookers made no attempt to stop them. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing only glanced up before whispering amongst themselves.

This is how Ma Hongjun and Oscar greet each other: they start bickering as soon as they meet. The two of them are never quiet when they're together!

This has been the case for five years, so everyone is naturally used to it.

But the woman next to Oscar was unaware of this. She nervously pursed her lips and, without anyone noticing, tightened her grip on Oscar's hand, seemingly trying to stop him.

Oscar gave her a reassuring look, then turned to Ma Hongjun and yelled, "You fatso! Don't think you're so great just because you've lost weight! Believe me, I'll crush you!"

Although Ma Hongjun's appearance has changed drastically, he is the only one in the entire Douluo Continent with the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. Moreover, Oscar had overheard the entire conversation between Ma Hongjun and Han Feng, so of course he recognized Ma Hongjun!

But Oscar's attitude made Ma Hongjun take a deep breath. Back then, Ma Hongjun and Oscar had also clashed, but every time Ma Hongjun released his martial soul, even though Oscar would still spew trash talk, he would be somewhat weak. He was nothing like this now, completely without any of the appearance of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

Ma Hongjun felt deeply provoked. He narrowed his eyes, pointed at Oscar with one finger, and said arrogantly, "Come on! You bastard Oscar! I'll give you a chance to die today. If you can hurt me even a little bit, forget about a meal; for the next year, I won't touch a single piece of meat!"

"You said it yourself!" Ma Hongjun thought Oscar would back down, but to his surprise, Oscar stepped forward instead, his peach blossom eyes flashing with an amazing light, and he even seemed eager to try!

This made Ma Hongjun frown – after five years, has this guy finally gone mad?!

Fighting with sausages and phoenixes?!

Do you want to stuff me to death?!
