Chapter 21: When it comes to retreating, I am an expert

"No Spirit Ring, yet he has a soul skill? Could it be the self-created soul skill the teacher spoke of? What kind of movement technique is this? Even my Purple Demon Eye cannot see through it!"

Not far away, Tang San, who was watching the show using his Purple Demon Eye, was filled with shock; Ma Hongjun had even more tricks up his sleeve than he had imagined.

Especially this movement technique he was displaying now; he even felt it was more formidable than his own Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track! The opponent had not only achieved the rank of Soul King at twelve years old but was also this powerful, and he even possessed a self-created soul skill of the movement type. Such talent could be called a heaven-defying monster! It had completely surpassed the category of a monster! He himself would not have been confident in taking that blow from Zhao Wuji just now; if he had been smashed hard by it, his small frame would surely have burst open!

Just thinking about it felt extremely horrifying and terrifying! Yet Ma Hongjun had dodged it by sheer force, and not even he knew when the opponent had turned into an afterimage and vanished.

If he were to fight Ma Hongjun again, this movement technique alone would make it impossible for his Hidden Weapon to find its target; this was a very thorny and deadly enemy! Tang San searched through the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record in his mind, wanting to find Hidden Weapon techniques or other means to deal with Ma Hongjun, but there were none.

This made him sigh inwardly; to deal with Ma Hongjun, he could only plan for the long term.

"Such a fast movement technique, this brat actually hid this! No Spirit Ring! Could it be a self-created soul skill?"

Tang Hao, hiding in the woods, also revealed a look of shock in his eyes.

At this speed, if he could not deliver a fatal blow to the opponent at the fastest possible speed, the opponent would escape.

There would be no point in chasing further.

Tang Hao, who had intended to strike when the time was right, ultimately put that thought away.

Looking at the burn marks on his skin from Ma Hongjun's flames, anger and a sense of palpitation appeared in his eyes.

That flame was truly terrifying! Zhao Wuji was only able to stay alive because he had used his soul skill and soul power to protect his body in time, and because he was a Spirit Saint with a naturally robust physique, which allowed him to survive, but this injury was absolutely unavoidable! Through his Phoenix Poyang Tong, he saw the disheveled figure gradually standing up from the dust and smoke, and in an instant, Ma Hongjun arrived at Ning Rongrong's side.

"Do you want to join my Phoenix Academy?"

He asked.

Ning Rongrong and the two Soul Emperors were all stunned by the brilliant battle before them and had not reacted at all to Ma Hongjun's sudden approach, which made the two Soul Emperors break out in cold sweat; if this were an enemy, they would not have had time to react before their young lady was killed.

Fortunately, Ma Hongjun did not look like their enemy.

After Ning Rongrong reacted, her eyes were filled with little stars, all of them looks of admiration, and she nodded: "I want to join!"

"Was that a self-created soul skill you just used?" one of the Soul Emperors asked curiously.

"Yes." Ma Hongjun nodded.

The concept in this world was that any skill unleashed without using a Spirit Ring or soul bone belonged to the category of self-created soul skills.

His Phoenix Poyang Tong and Phoenix Phantom Movement Technique did not reveal Spirit Rings, so they belonged to that category.

There was no need for too much explanation, as the knowledge base of these people was very limited.

"You are too amazing!"

Ning Rongrong appreciated Ma Hongjun even more.

She felt that following this man before her was especially promising! "Alright, let's go."

"You go to the Suotuo City Soul Fighting Arena."

Once the words were spoken, he took the initiative to pull Ning Rongrong's hand, activated the Phoenix Transformation Rainbow Technique, and vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a red arc streaking across the sky.

'Zhuqing, the mission target has been acquired, retreat immediately, follow me.'

At the same time, a telepathic message originating from their bloodline entered the mind of Zhu Zhuqing, who was hiding in the Netherworld Dimensional Realm underground.

She also activated the Nether Rainbow Transformation Art to leave, chasing after him at a speed of one Mach.

The speed was incredibly fast, impossible for anyone to capture.

The reason Ma Hongjun did not want to waste time was entirely because he did not want to let Tang Hao take advantage of him.

Although he was fighting Zhao Wuji and appeared not to care about his surroundings, his mental power had been secretly observing Tang Hao all along. That guy was already showing signs of restless behavior, and the surroundings were filled with Shrek's Soul Emperors and Spirit Saints, plus a Title Douluo; in such a situation, he, a mere Soul King, could not cope, so he had to retreat immediately. Moreover, he was also worried that during the battle, if he were not careful, that wretch Xiao San would hit him with a Hidden Weapon from behind, and then he would be done for.

Although he had Phoenix Nirvana and could be resurrected, who would want to die unless it was a last resort? This was a capability for when there was no other choice.

When it came to retreating, he had never feared anyone; even the fastest person in the world, Qian Daoliu, could not catch up to him!

"Young Lady!"

"Damn it! The young lady has been kidnapped!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong disappear in an instant, the two Soul Emperors panicked immediately. The opponent's speed was actually this fast? Even they couldn't react in time before the figure vanished?

"Go to the Soul Fighting Arena, he just said he was going there!"

The two Soul Emperors activated their soul skills, quickly left the place, and headed toward the Suotuo City Soul Fighting Arena.

The young lady had been taken away right under their protection; if the person really wanted to kill her, it would have been truly effortless! If their Sect Master and those two Title Douluo elders found out, they would definitely be beaten to death.

This was a price they could not afford to pay!

Now they could only pray that Ma Hongjun would not harm their young lady; this was a pampered little ancestor with a terrifyingly powerful background!

Thinking of how protective Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were, both of them felt themselves trembling, their hair standing on end, terrified to the extreme.

"The aura has vanished, they ran away."

Tang Hao, who was still hesitating, suddenly discovered that Ma Hongjun's aura was gone, and the figure had also vanished from the entrance of Shrek Academy.

When Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing left, they both used the Phoenix Concealment skill, hiding all their own auras and soul power fluctuations; outsiders could not perceive them at all, and only descendants with the bloodline could sense each other's existence.

"Wanting to kill him is too thorny, I can't find him at all."

"Forget it, it's better that he left; at least Xiao San is safe."

A look of distress appeared on Tang Hao's face, but thinking that his son was safe, he felt satisfied.

Moreover, the injuries in his body had not fully recovered, and it would not be good to expose himself now. Once he appeared inside Shrek Academy and openly attacked Ma Hongjun, it would definitely reach the ears of the Spirit Hall, and at that time, they would come out to hunt him down.

He did not want to attract the attention of the Spirit Hall right now; his emergence from the mountains was covert, and his mission was to secretly protect his child until he grew up.

"Sigh." Tang Hao sighed.

At the entrance of Shrek Academy, a powerful force blew away the smoke.

Zhao Wuji looked around, wanting to find Ma Hongjun's figure.

He discovered that the person had already vanished, and there were no soul power fluctuations or soul power auras belonging to Ma Hongjun in the vicinity.

In an instant, the entire scene fell silent.

"Old Zhao, stop looking, the person has already run away."

"His speed is very fast; by the time we reacted, he had already turned into a red line and vanished. We couldn't stop him even if we wanted to, and besides, we can't fly."

"That fellow's speed is truly terrifying!"

"We have provoked a terrifying existence!"

Several teachers from Shrek Academy walked over from behind and said.

Looking at the pitted and bumpy surroundings, expressions of gloom appeared on their faces: "We have our work cut out for us now."

They were poor and could not afford to pay others to fill in the holes and rebuild the academy wall, so they could only clean up this mess themselves.
