Chapter 68: Taking Out Immortal Herbs to Trade with Ning Fengzhi

"Pfft!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his body was still pierced through by Ma Hongjun's spear, and fresh blood flowed out from his back.

"Ah!!!!"

"I said I'd join... why do you still have to kill me!"

Gui Mei screamed in pain, fresh blood spraying from his mouth again.

"You being willing to join the academy and me wanting to stab you are two separate issues," Ma Hongjun said indifferently.

"You..." Gui Mei's mouth twitched; he was actually speechless.

Pfft!

Pulling out the long spear, the blood on the spearhead was incinerated by flames.

Gui Mei let out another miserable scream and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Ah!! Stop... if you do it again, I'll die. I am, after all, a Title Douluo... I can do many things for you."

Gui Mei begged for mercy; he was terrified.

"Fine, you've persuaded me. The Phoenix Academy was just founded, and it is indeed in urgent need of manpower. I won't kill you."

A Poison Pill appeared in Ma Hongjun's hand.

This was something he had refined, specifically used to control those who were disobedient.

Pinching Gui Mei's mouth, he stuffed it directly inside.

The Poison Pill turned into a warm current, instantly merging into Gui Mei's entire body.

"What did you feed me?" Gui Mei asked in terror.

"A Poison Pill. It has already merged with your entire body. In this world, only I possess the antidote. As long as you are disobedient or do something to betray me, the medicinal effect will erupt, letting you taste the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart-Eating, a bone-gnawing pain worse than death!" Ma Hongjun said with a smile: "Your mission is to hide in the Spirit Hall and wait for our orders to act."

His smile looked as terrifying as a devil in Gui Mei's eyes.

"Thunderous Explosive Kill!"

Suddenly, a figure in black appeared, and a snake spear covered in golden thunder shot toward Ma Hongjun with extreme speed.

The person who arrived was none other than the Snake Spear Douluo, who had rushed over to check the situation. Upon arriving, he saw the scene of Gui Mei being trampled underfoot, and with Ma Hongjun holding a long spear, he assumed the other party was about to kill Gui Mei. Unable to care about anything else, he immediately attacked to save the day!

He was very puzzled; how could Gui Mei, this Level 95 peak Title Douluo, be no match for a junior? Are you playing some kind of international joke with me?

Ma Hongjun turned around and threw his spear.

The two long spears collided.

A force capable of tearing the air erupted. After a massive explosion, Ma Hongjun's body flew backward out of the smoke.

"That is a snake spear. It seems the person who came to the rescue is the Snake Spear Douluo hidden within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."

Ma Hongjun thought to himself.

The smoke in front dissipated.

The figures of the Snake Spear and Gui Mei were already gone.

This was also something he had intentionally let happen.

Otherwise, neither of them would have been able to leave.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, he sighed and released the Divine Bone Divine Skill: Resurrection Dew.

A large expanse of dew fell, and the land quickly regained its vitality, sprouting dense flowers and grass.

"Hmm, this looks much more comfortable."

"And there is Yue Guan. I need to go back now to control him as well. By then, I will have a subordinate with a powerful martial soul fusion skill," Ma Hongjun thought to himself, preparing to take action.

However, at this moment, three familiar auras approached rapidly.

Soon, the scene on the horizon moved from far to near, and the figures of Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong appeared.

"You're late; you can go back now," Ma Hongjun said indifferently.

"What happened here?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong scanned their surroundings. Although the ground had mostly recovered and was covered in flowers and grass, based on their years of experience, they could confirm that a massive destruction had just erupted on this very piece of land beneath their feet.

They just didn't know why it had been repaired so quickly.

The two could not figure it out.

Could all of this be Ma Hongjun's doing? They would have to ask.

They were also looking forward to Ma Hongjun's recovery. "Just now, Gui Mei from the Spirit Hall came to kill me, and we fought. It's just that that guy didn't manage to take me down and was beaten away by me."

"He's just a guy who looks good but is useless."

Ma Hongjun said disdainfully.

"Gui Mei from the Spirit Hall?"

"I didn't expect them to be unable to resist making a move against you."

"Where are Dugu Bo and the others?"

Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong were shocked upon hearing this, and their expressions darkened.

Chen Xin had fought Ma Hongjun during his Soul King period and knew how formidable he was. Now that he had reached the Soul Emperor level, his strength was naturally even more terrifying.

Gui Mei was only a Level 95 peak, not even reaching the Super Douluo sequence, so it was reasonable that he couldn't take down Ma Hongjun.

There was no great surprise there.

On the contrary, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had achieved a qualitative leap in overall strength with the help of Ma Hongjun's pills and weapons.

"They are still out training. From what I learned from Gui Mei, the Spirit Hall has also made a move against them, and the person arranged for it is Yue Guan," Ma Hongjun said.

"What!? Then let's hurry over to rescue them!" The three of them were anxious; after all, their own precious princess, Rongrong, was still in that group!

"No rush. Yue Guan is no match for Dugu Bo. If he really dares to go over there, he will only have a dead end," Ma Hongjun said.

Everyone recalled the scene of the previous battle with Dugu Bo.

This guy is also very abnormal; he has nine Ten Thousand Year level Spirit Rings, and his soul power has even reached the 97th Level.

Now that three months have passed, I wonder how much stronger he has become?

"That's good."

"Three months have passed, and there is still no news about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Ning Fengzhi said.

It is impossible for them to choose to inherit the Phoenix, because if they did, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would truly become a thing of the past.

Even if becoming a Phoenix is very tempting, at least for now, they have not truly made up their minds.

They intend to first cultivate Ning Rongrong into a Title Douluo before considering anything else.

"Whether the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has been found or not no longer matters, because I have already found the Tulip of Romance."

A golden flower appeared in Ma Hongjun's hand, radiating an extraordinary charm.

"This is!"

"Could this be the Immortal Herb you mentioned that can fix the flaws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!?"

After looking at it, the three of them said in shock.

"Yes."

Ma Hongjun nodded.

"Good, I am willing to pay a high price!" Ning Fengzhi said excitedly.

"I don't want money. I would like to use this Immortal Herb to hire the three of you as Honorary Deans of the Outer Academy of my Phoenix Academy, how about it?" Ma Hongjun asked: "You don't need to be there often; just come over to give a lecture or teach the children when you have free time."

After all, they do not possess the Phoenix Martial Soul and are considered outsiders; it is only because there are not many suitable candidates right now that he would make such a choice.

As long as their martial soul has not mutated into a Phoenix, they do not belong to the true Phoenix Academy and cannot access the core techniques within the academy.

Because he does not trust them.

"Good, no problem!" Ning Fengzhi agreed immediately.

For them, this is simply a trivial matter.

Furthermore, the Phoenix Academy is not far from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and they can arrive very quickly.

The students of the Phoenix Academy are all very outstanding; if there is hope, they actually want to recruit them into the sect once they graduate.

It is just that this idea of theirs is not realistic.

Ma Hongjun intends to establish an Inner Court and an Outer Academy.

People in the Outer Academy do not have to have a Phoenix Martial Soul, but the Inner Court must have a Phoenix Martial Soul.

Through the Outer Academy, he will select a group of the seven most outstanding individuals every year to inherit the Phoenix Martial Soul, and these people will be qualified to enter the Inner Court.

He wants to turn the entire world into a world of Phoenix Martial Souls! He wants to be the father of everyone in this world!

The scene at that time would certainly be hilarious! (End of this chapter)
