Chapter 15: Planning to Poach Someone

~8 min read 1,524 words

The impact of the explosion was widespread, even alerting the Shrek teachers, including Flender and the others, who rushed to a spot not far from the present location to investigate the situation.

"To have alarmed so many of the City Guard, this matter is not simple," said Zhao Wuji.

"Such a familiar aura of flames."

"Could it be that he did this?"

Flender sniffed with his nose; this was one of the characteristics of the Cat Eagle martial soul, being very sensitive to scents, especially this scent that had defeated him, which made it hard for him to forget. Thus, he thought to himself that he dared not speak of this matter for fear of being discovered, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain.

"Hiss, just what kind of person could raze this place to the ground?"

"I remember this place being the Rose Hotel."

Among the group, Dai Mubai had also followed along, and upon seeing the scene before him, his pupils dilated.

Taking a closer look, the injuries on his body, with the help of a healing Spirit Master, were already mostly healed.

"Alright, let's go back."

They had originally been returning from the Soul Fighting Arena and happened to be alarmed by the commotion here while passing by, so they rushed over to take a look. Now that they had seen it, there was no need to continue staying.

After Flender finished speaking, he took the lead and left.

"Do you feel like the boss seems a bit strange today?" Zhao Wuji whispered to Li Yusong, who was beside him.

Once this was said, the others also felt that it really seemed to be the case.

As for exactly where it was strange, they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

Flender stopped in his tracks, turned his head to glare at Zhao Wuji and the others, and said, "My ears are very sharp, don't go whispering behind my back and badmouthing me!"

Everyone heard the threat in his tone, and they all fell silent like cicadas in winter, adopting a posture of looking away as if they didn't know each other, and walked forward.

Flender couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

Time flew by, and it was early the next morning.

Sunlight shone through the forest and into the dilapidated house.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had been leaning to the side to guard Ma Hongjun, had not rested all night, and dark circles had appeared under her eyes, but for the sake of his safety, she pulled herself together.

"He has been recovering for a whole night, is it still not enough? Just how vast is his soul power?" Looking at that red figure, Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself.

However, this Ma Hongjun was particularly charming, especially those handsome cheeks; she could never get tired of looking at him, the more she looked, the more she liked him, especially in this state of sitting quietly, he was completely a sleeping beauty.

The thought had just emerged when Ma Hongjun, who had been meditating all night, finally opened those alluring phoenix eyes.

A flash of fire vanished from the depths of his eyes.

"Finally recovered," he sighed inwardly.

The high quality of his soul power was also a key factor affecting his recovery.

Especially since the energy of this world was not high-grade, he needed to continuously absorb it into his body and use the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra to condense and enhance the quality of his soul power before he could slowly replenish the lost amount.

If the soul power he cultivated was of the same quality as everyone else in this world, it wouldn't have taken so long.

Moreover, in his consciousness, he had not perceived the passage of time; it felt like a mere blink of an eye.

It seems this is what they call some people going into seclusion for decades or centuries, it is also just a blink of an eye, with no consciousness at all.

"This world, in fact, does not possess the concept of time; time is just something added by people."

Ma Hongjun thought to himself.

"Hongjun, you're awake."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice came.

Ma Hongjun nodded: "Zhuqing, I'm awake."

"How do you feel?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern.

"Very good," Ma Hongjun replied.

Zhu Zhuqing asked: "Who did you fight last night?" Ma Hongjun thought for a moment and decided to say it: "Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao."

"!!"

"That ruthless man who hammered the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, to death?"

As a member of the imperial family, she was exposed to a lot of information, not to mention that Tang Hao's reputation had exploded after he hammered the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, to death.

"Mm, it's him," Ma Hongjun nodded.

"No way? Why did he come looking for you?"

"Did you offend him?"

Zhu Zhuqing was startled.

That guy was a Title Douluo!

Being able to escape unscathed from the hands of a Title Douluo was already extremely impressive.

She also knew it must have been related to the Rainbow Transformation Technique; otherwise, it would have been basically impossible to escape from a Title Douluo.

"That blue-haired boy from yesterday afternoon is his son; he admitted it himself, and people outside don't know this news yet," Ma Hongjun said. "I hit the small one, so the old one came out to demand an explanation from me. I hadn't expected that blue-haired guy to have such an awesome dad, otherwise, I definitely would have slapped him a couple more times."

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing was a bit stunned and also a bit speechless. Following this guy, every day was thrilling, and now he had provoked a Title Douluo.

That's not right.

Shouldn't you say: 'Otherwise I wouldn't have hit him'?

"We've been targeted by the most ruthless Title Douluo, what should we do? The days ahead won't be easy. If he suddenly gives us a surprise attack and we don't have time to use the Rainbow Transformation Technique, we'll definitely die..."

Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit worried inside.

If it were any other level, it would be fine, but that was a top-tier Title Douluo of the continent.

In the entire Xingluo Empire, only the Xingluo Emperor was a Title Douluo!

One can imagine how scarce, precious, and powerful Title Douluos were during this period! A Title Douluo was the strongest existence on the continent!

"Don't worry, as long as we don't actively expose ourselves, he won't be able to find us. Our Phoenix Clan has the Breath Concealment Technique, which can hide one's entire aura; even if he is a Title Douluo, it's impossible for him to discover us," Ma Hongjun said. "As long as I am given time to grow, there will be no need to fear him."

"With such a massive explosion, even if he didn't die, he must be severely injured, right?" Zhu Zhuqing recalled a memory from before they left the Rose Hotel and speculated.

"A Title Douluo has very strong vitality; it's not that easy to kill one. As for being severely injured, that might be possible, but if he really is severely injured, we have even less reason to be afraid," Ma Hongjun shook his head.

At first, he had also thought that a Title Douluo wasn't much.

But after clashing with Tang Hao last night, he realized that he had still underestimated the power of a Title Douluo.

After all, this was an existence that differed from him by four major realms.

Although the quality of his soul power and the might of his soul skills were very strong, it was still very difficult to kill a Title Douluo with the strength of a Soul King.

Unless it was a Title Douluo with a relatively weak physical body, perhaps then they could be killed.

The two chatted as they walked into the village and arrived at a stall to eat breakfast.

"What are our plans next?" Zhu Zhuqing ate her breakfast in a very ladylike manner.

"Go to Shrek Academy; there is someone I want to recruit. Then I will go choose a good location to establish the Phoenix Academy and continue poaching from other academies," Ma Hongjun thought of Ning Rongrong. Her support was truly excellent, and he intended to poach her. There was also Ye Lingling from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy; her healing was the strongest, as the Nine Heart Begonia could even bring the dead back to life.

It was just a pity that the drawback of this martial soul was that it was passed down through only one person per generation.

'I wonder if, after transforming into a Phoenix, this drawback can be broken?'

While eating, he thought to himself.
