Chapter 48: Poaching People from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy

"Damn it! Losing to that Phoenix Team is one thing, but we actually lost to that Shrek Team that doesn't even have a full roster of Soul Elders!"

"And the method for the Antidote was exactly the same! Were these two teams colluding?!"

"Also, our teacher Qin Ming actually knows people from Shrek Academy!?"

"I heard he came from that place!"

Returning to the academy, the group could no longer suppress themselves, venting the anger and unwillingness in their hearts one after another.

They even began to blame each other.

True, they had previously lost to the Shrek Team, especially that guy Tang San who suddenly went crazy; his strength was terrifying.

Recalling this scene made them shudder.

"Strength, we just aren't strong enough."

They felt they had no face to face this academy.

"Alright, stop discussing it, go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, teacher Qin Ming is going to increase our training load. If we fail, then we get stronger and win it back in the future!" Team leader Yu Tianheng stepped out to smooth things over.

As a high-level Soul Elder, he was naturally unwilling to accept this either.

Losing to the Phoenix Team and the Shrek Team in succession was a truly heavy blow to him.

What he found most unacceptable was that one of the teachers of the Shrek Team was actually his uncle, Yu Xiaogang; he was one of the few people in the clan who still respected this elder.

Who would have thought that a Blue Silver Grass could be trained by the other party to be so powerful? He admired his uncle Yu Xiaogang even more.

But he himself would not admit defeat easily.

"Strength..."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling clenched their fists.

They returned to their dormitory.

"Why haven't they come to find me yet?" Ye Lingling thought to herself.

The words that the one called Youming had said to her before remained in her heart, and she had been waiting for the other party's recruitment, but there had been no news.

After being defeated by the Shrek Team, she finally understood that there were truly many geniuses in this world, and she needed powerful means.

Her anticipation for the decision to join Phoenix Academy grew ever stronger.

Dugu Yan also felt some anticipation in her heart.

They discovered that continuing to stay at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy seemed to be of no great use.

"Do you want even greater power?" Suddenly, a calm and bewitching voice entered the two women's ears, causing them to wake up in a start.

"Who?"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were startled.

They immediately released their martial souls and Spirit Rings, entering a state of alert.

Before them, a tall youth wearing fire-red clothes had appeared silently.

And he was exceptionally handsome.

"Who are you? I have never seen you at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!" Dugu Yan asked.

The next second, she directly activated her Third Soul Skill and struck toward Ma Hongjun.

Facing this poison attack, Ma Hongjun did not move, and a ball of flames ignited on his body.

He burned all of this poison away.

"Sorry, in a certain sense, I am immune to poison," Ma Hongjun said.

"Poison immune!?"

Cold sweat dripped down Dugu Yan.

She discovered that her poison seemed to have become worthless, possessing not a shred of deterrent power.

It was one thing for the Phoenix Team and Tang San of the Shrek Team to resolve it, but she hadn't expected that even this unknown guy could prevent her poison from causing the slightest bit of damage.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the Principal of Phoenix Academy, Ma Hongjun. You can call me Principal Ma. I came here this time to invite you to join Phoenix Academy."

"Youming spoke to you before, how have you considered it?"

Ma Hongjun asked with a chuckle.

"You are the Principal of Phoenix Academy!" Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were startled.

"That's right," Ma Hongjun nodded.

"What kind of academy is Phoenix Academy? Why have we never heard of it? My grandfather is the world-renowned Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!" Dugu Yan said, bringing up her background.

"I know you are Dugu Bo's granddaughter."

"Phoenix Academy is an academy that was founded not long ago."

Ma Hongjun said.

"A newly founded academy? Isn't that worse than Heaven Dou Imperial Academy? And you are so young, how will you teach us? You look younger than us!" Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling frowned.

"No, we possess a vast amount of money. We have all the equipment that Heaven Dou Imperial Academy has, and what they don't have, we will have," Ma Hongjun said: "I don't have much time, tell me your choice."

"Nine-Colored and Youming are students of our academy, didn't they easily defeat you? Although I am not old, my strength and experience in all aspects are very strong," Ma Hongjun said, and five fire-red Spirit Rings rose on his body, and a Phoenix Martial Soul with immense deterrent power appeared upon him.

"Five-ring Soul King?"

"So young?!"

"What the hell is that fire-red color!?"

"Could it be the legendary Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring?!"

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were shocked.

They had lived this long and it was their first time seeing one.

Ma Hongjun frowned and withdrew his aura: "I don't want to waste too much breath with you. Join Phoenix Academy and you will obtain a very great opportunity; your martial souls will be able to transform into Phoenixes because of it. If you don't want to join, then I will give the spot to someone else. Farewell."

His patience was limited.

Dealing with women is just troublesome.

After speaking, he turned around, intending to leave.

Seeing this scene, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan became anxious.

"Wait a moment, we agree, but we need to withdraw from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

"If we just leave with you like this, something big will definitely happen."

Dugu Yan said.

"Just leave a letter behind."

Ma Hongjun said.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan nodded, spent some time leaving a letter in their dormitory: "Alright."

"You will definitely not regret this decision."

Ma Hongjun placed his hands on the shoulders of Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, activated the Rainbow Transformation Technique, and vanished from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy in the blink of an eye.

The largest Soul Fighting Arena in Heaven Dou City.

A great many high-level Spirit Masters from the continent, powerful Spirit Masters, all gathered here; this place is much higher-end and far more impressive than Suotuo City, not even in the same dimension.

Inside here, one can even see quite a few Spirit Douluo matches.

If it weren't for the fact that Title Douluo are rare, there would be Title Douluo matches as well.

However, Spirit Douluo is the highest level of competition in this place.

Wanting to go any higher is basically impossible.

Unless Title Douluo could become as common as dogs.

A streak of red light appeared in a Rose Hotel room not far away.

Hey, not bad, there is a Rose Hotel here too, and it is the main branch; the scale is the largest, and the architecture is the most luxurious, not something that the branch in Suotuo City can compare to.

Staying here for one night starts at a minimum of one hundred Gold Soul Coins, and the most luxurious suite costs ten thousand Gold Soul Coins per night.

In Suotuo City, the minimum price for a night doesn't even reach the level of a Gold Soul Coin.

Ma Hongjun, who is not short on money, naturally wants to enjoy himself, so he booked the highest-spec luxury suite directly.

"You brought us here, for what?"

Seeing the ambiguous atmosphere and layout inside, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling immediately blushed, their thoughts wandering in the wrong direction.
