*********************************

Even Tang Hao was having a hard time keeping his stern face after hearing Zhao Wuji tragic condition.

Flender and the man obviously knew the situation during the day.

"I will give you a handicap, and won't use my spirit, all you have to do is last an incense stick of time." The black clothed said without giving a choice to Zhao Wuji.

After saying that, the man in blac flashed and appeared right in front of Zhao Wuji and punched him right in the face as he was blasted in the forest.

He tried to resist the blow but it was way too strong for him. After that the event followed as in the original.

'Boom'

'Ahhh...'

'Boom'

'Ahhh...'

'Boom'

'Boom'

'Boom'

'Ahhhhh...'

Only the violent booms and screaming can be heard after that for one incense stick of time.

At this time, Tang Ming also sensed them with his [Observation Haki]. He already guessed what was happening in the forest and can only pray in his heart for Zhao Wuji, he can only shook his head and sigh as he thought to himself.

'I thought that after I beat teacher Zhao, father wouldn't go and beat him. It seems something is still inevitable.'

______________________

Early the next morning, Tang Ming opened his eyes after his cultivation and breathed out.

Normally spirit master can't cultivate further after reaching the point where they need a spirit ring, but Tang Ming was different. He compressed and purifies his spirit power to reach level 30, otherwise the speed at which he cultivates, he can say with a guarantee that he can reach Title Douluo at the age of 15.

After cultivating today he felt that his spirit power is completely compressed and purified as it can be. His cultivation is now fully stabilised at level 30 and he can go look for a ring.

His first spirit ring skill [Thunderstorm Strike] is completely offensive one.

His second spirit ring skill [Eternal Illusion] is an auxiliary one, well it depends on how he uses it. It can also be used in battles to confuse and gave bad trauma to people.

This particular ability he gained can be said to be the best illusion skill he had ever seen.

This ability can perfectly camouflage a person or a group of persons aura, breath and presence. He can even change the colour and pressure of his spirit rings. It can also be used to make the opponent lost in any type of illusion, for however long he wanted, like he can make the target experience a torture for thousand years in his illusion while only one second passed in the real world. As this skill take a miniscule amount of spirit power, he can infinitely use this ability.

This ability also combined with his [Observation Haki], so now he can create illusion anywhere in his [Observation Haki] range, which means when he reached Title Douluo he can create illusion anywhere on the continent he wanted. This skill also has its limitation as anyone whose mental power is higher than his would not be affected by it.

At level 30 he can easily make anyone below Spirit Sage lost in illusion for eternity.

At first it was only a six thousand year spirit ring which he hunted from [Myriad Illusion Demon Butterfly] which can be said to be an extremely rare spirit beast, which is now almost extinct. This Butterfly bloodline can be said to be even a notch better than Titan Giant Ape's bloodline. He only read about this Butterfly in a book of extinct species as he was interested in knowing more about Douluo continent.

He didn't hesitate to hunt and absorb it's spirit ring. He didn't care for its age as it can easily fool any spirit beast less than 50,000 years while only at six thousand years old. After absorbing he gained the skill [Myriad Illusion] which then evolved into [Eternal Illusion] after he raised the age of the spirit ring to ten thousand years.

He now was thinking of going on a complete offensive path and was particularly looking for abilities that can be used against people with heavy defensive spirit like Zhao Wuji. He had few spirit beasts in his mind, but they were all extremely rare.

(Tang Ming's POV) :

'Well I'll see what I can do when we will go to Spirit Dou forest with teacher Zhao. I have also reached my physical limits after fighting teacher Zhao Wuji yesterday and just needed a right amount of pressure to breakthrough it. My overall strength will have a huge enhancement. Maybe I should fight with Er Ming(Titan Giant Ape) when he came to search for Xiao Wu. Well whatever, I'll figure it out later.'

After that I went to take a shower and went to find something to eat.

Tang Ming was also looking forward to meeting Ma Hongjun.

To be honest in the whole original novel the only person he really was impressed with and also envied was not Tang San or anyone else but Ma Hongjun.

This guy's martial spirit setting was so abnormal that what was a torture for him can be said to be every men's dream. And the most funny part is that he remains single until the last arc of the story.

After coming out of his thoughts, he started walking outside of the Shrek Academy and went toward the village in hope to find something to eat as he really was very hungry.

As he was walking forward, not long after he heard sounds of fighting in front.

"Who are you calling a farm chicken?"

Hearing the word 'farm chicken', Tang Ming smiled and walked over.

Sure enough, he can see the little troublemaker Xiao Wu fighting with a little fat man in front of him.

The little fat man was a bit shorter than Xiao Wu, around 1.6 metre tall and looks quite plump.

At this time he muttered, " Evil Fire Phoenix possess."

His body started to change, as his hair on his head stood upright and a little bit of feather grew on his arms. A phantom of a red burning phoenix formed behind him but looked a little awkward as it was looking like a fat chicken.

Two yellow spirit rings also rose up from his body, signifying that he too is a Spirit Grandmaster.

"Evil Fire Phoenix, top fire martial beast spirit of mainland... but it should not be in its complete form at this point."

Fight continued as after some time the fatty was knocked down on the ground by Xiao Wu's Waist Bow ability, but he quickly stood up.

Xiao Wu also hurriedly removed her shoes as it too was burned from the flame of the fatty.

At this time, in the distance Xiao Wu seemed to see Tang Ming as her eyes brightened : "Brother Ming, here! This little shitty fatty is bullying a good looking girl here! Come and help us."

Hearing what she said, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but turn toward where Xiao Wu was looking and saw a tall and young handsome man clothed in platinum silver coloured tuxedo suit walking toward him with a smile.

"Damn! Is there any fairness left in this world. Where did this guy came from, he's even more handsome than Boss Dai!"

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but curse in his heart looking at the sky and looked at Tang Ming with a bitter face.

Involuntarily there was a little hostility in his eyes. The more handsome you are the bigger enemy he can be considered of the fatty.

" Don't fight you two, I guess there is a misunderstanding here." As I walked over and said with a smile.

"And you little devil, you didn't even know the whole situation and started fighting with the fat man. The girl over there should be his girlfriend, who I guess should be breaking up with him. Am I right?" I asked looking and pointing towards the girl as she nodded.

Upon seeing this Tang San and Xiao Wu was stunned and now started to figure out everything.

They just came here walking and saw this fatty pulling the arm of the girl and thought that he was molesting the girl, so they tried to help her .....

"You both should not fight anymore anymore and should reconcile." I looked at both Xiao Wu and the fatty. Xiao Wu simply snorted and turned her head.

"Yes, yes, you should not fight. Hongjun and I have our reasons..." At this time the girl walked over and gently brushed off the dust on Ma Hongjun's body with a slight concern.

"Reconcile? After beating me out of nowhere, you want to let me go and reconcile?"

However, Ma Hongjun was reluctant and was not just going to let it go. First the rabbit eared girl called him ugly fatty and then beat him to the ground just now, which made him very angry, how could he just let it go?

Originally because of the break-up with his girlfriend, his heart was full of sadness and was also quite irritated. That girl beat him how could he just reconcile?

"If you want to reconcile, then you've to beat me first." Ma Hongjun pushed the girl a little away and looked at Tang Ming in full arrogance.

"Wow, you little fat guy, seeing that you're a couple and we made a mistake, I was going to apologise for it but you didn't want to be forgiving." Xiao Wu temper exploded , "Go brother Ming, I order you to beat the shit out of him."

"..." Tang Ming and Tang San eyes twitched involuntarily hearing what she said and looked at Xiao Wu speechless.

"Ahem, I mean big brother Ming, please go and beat him, you can do that for your little sister, right?" Xiao

Wu immediately corrected herself seeing the look Tang San and Tang Ming was giving and asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Beat me?" Ma Hongjun sneered, "Come on then!"

"Evil Fire Phoenix possession, heh pretty boy, I just kept my hands because she was a girl. I won't show any mercy to you."

As he said that his body rapidly grew and two yellow hundred year old spirit ring lit up beneath his feet.

"First Spirit Ring : Phoenix Fire Wire!"

The first Spirit Ring lit up as he sucked in and breathed out a straight line of red flame from his mouth.

"Brother Ming be careful, this fatty's flame is very weird! Once it attached to yourself, it's very hard to extinguish it." Tang San hurriedly replied when he saw the fat man attacking.

He know that the fatty kept his hand when fighting with Xiao Wu. Otherwise it would be very hard for Xiao Wu to win.

However, Tang Ming didn't move even in the slightest and stood still in his same place with an amused expression.

"Looking down in me? You will pay for it." Ma Hongjun yelled as he saw Tang Ming simply standing there without doing anything with a bemused expression.

How could he, one of the three students of Shrek Academy, personally accepted by the Dean himself, be allowed go look down.

He did keep his hands when fighting Xiao Wu, because of her being beautiful and he didn't want to burn her skin that looked like jade.

But seeing the man in front of him, who was not only more handsome than Boss Dai but was also trying to meddle in his business, he didn't hold back in the slightest. He has an evil grin thinking of the burnt face of that handsome man.

He urged more of his spirit power which made the flame bright red like magma as it instantly enveloped Tang Ming.

'Eh.. did he just stood there and got burned?' Ma Hongjun was taken aback. He didn't think it would be this easy to win. He thought that the young man would also be as powerful as the duo standing together.

"Brother Ming!!" At this time Xiao Wu and Tang San also subconsciously screamed.

After a moment when flame subsided nothing can be seen there.

But at this time,

A sigh came from the back of the fat man.

As they all turned to look they can see Tang Ming standing beside the little fatty, as he held his shoulder with his right hand .

"Yo, fatty, why are you trying to attack me? I didn't even attack you at all. I just came here so that you can all reconcile, but it looks like you want to fight me." Tang Ming said slowly with a smile at the start but his expression turned serious at the last part.

"If you wanted to fight me that much, then I'll let you." Tang Ming suddenly said and flicked his finger in between fatty's eyebrows, a black light glowed suddenly and went away as fast it came.

Nobody noticed except Tang San who barely caught this with the help of Purple Demon Eyes.

Tand San scrunched his eyebrows watching this, and have a contemplative look on his face as he looked toward Tang Ming.

The fatty was sent flying like a flying arrow and hit the wall at the back.

After that he didn't move from there for what seemed to be 2-3 seconds, then came running over toward Tang Ming and hugged his leg and started crying :

"Please forgive me, brother Ming. I wasn't thinking straight. I'll treat you to food and women, please just let me go." Fatty said crying with snot running through his nose.

Everyone was looking shocked at what was happening, including Tang San, Xiao Wu and the fatty's girlfriend.

At the back, Dai Mubai that was coming with Zhu Zhuqing had also watched the fatty begging and was shocked seeing this. Zhu Zhuqing didn't let any expression on her cold face but a slight gleam can be seen in her eyes as she looked toward Tang Ming.

Sensing someone watching, I turned my head to see everyone looking at me with wide eyes. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing also seem to have arrived. I hurriedly answered the fatty with a smirk and said, " Okay, I'll leave you alone but if you again did attack me..." I said cracking my knuckles.

Ma Hongjun nodded his head like a chicken pecking the grain.

"What happened just now? And fatty why are you crying ?" Dai Mubai came forward and asked with a frown. Ma Hongjun seeing his boss, lunged at him and again started crying like a child and said," Boss you have to take revenge on behalf of me, that boy beat me straight for three hours and also made my face look like a pig."

He said pointing toward Tang Ming with a fearful and hateful look. Tang Ming only smiled slightly in response which again made the fat man shiver from fright.

Dai Mubai looked at Tang Ming and can only wryly smile. He can fight anyone else except Tang Ming, the two reasons he didn't want to fight him was because first, he can't win against him as he watched him blasting Zhao Wuji yesterday and second, he remembered the brick smash he recieved on his face.

He looked at Ma Hongjun with pity in his eyes as he shook his head and said, " Fatty, I can't take revenge for you as I can't win against him and I don't want my face to be swollen like a pig. Tell me what did you do so that Tang Ming beat you."

"Beaten?" at this time Xiao Wu came forward a little and then said looking at the fatty with a mocking expression, " You accepted defeat with only a single flick of brother Ming? He didn't even touch you after that."

Dai Mubai too looked at Tang Ming and thought to himself. ' He probably can defeat fatty with a flick of his finger. But still looking at fatty's crying , it seems like he had taken a rough beating but then there is no wounds on him other than some scratches. This is confusing..'

He came out of his thought as Tang Ming said, "It's nothing, I really didn't beat him though..."

"You!! you're a liar. You kept beating me for three hours and you're saying you didn't beat me." Fatty shouted with an aggrieved look.

"Let me complete my sentence." Tang Ming glared at him because of his intervention but still continued, "Well physically I didn't beat him. It was my spirit ring ability that lets me make people fall in illusion and what fatty experienced was a three hour session of me beating him continuously black and blue. And also fatty you can see for yourself that you didn't have a single wound in your body and this is still the same time when I just flicked you away." Tang Ming explained in detail slowly.

Everyone was shocked that there is an ability that can do this but after that they all looked at fatty with some pity in their eyes. They all knew how strong Tang Ming was and a three hour beating lesson can be said to be hell for anyone.

"So that's what that black glow was about. If I didn't get it wrong then brother Ming your illusion ability came from your second spirit ring, isn't it? And also how long can you make a person fall in your illusion and what is the limitations for its uses?" Tang San said and bombarded Tang Ming with his questions.

"Well I can make people fall in illusion as long as I have spirit power left and also to make them suffer I can also make the time flow in illusion as much as 1000 times slow. Which means if a person falls in my illusion for 1 minutes in real time then he will experience a torture of 1000 minutes in the illusion. And I won't hide it's limitation, as long as a person mental power is greater than me he can resist my illusions." Tang Ming explained about his spirit ring skill but didn't tell them all about it, like he can now make literally anyone fall in illusion infinitely.

And also that nobody below Titled Douluo can even think of resisting it. [Myriad Illusion Demon Butterfly] can be said to have heaven defying illusion ability and it was even a surprise for him to find it. One need at least ten generation of luck to even find one but he didn't only find one but also absorbed it's spirit ring.

It seems like my Qilin martial spirit even after being slightly more toward battle type, still has its innate trait of granting and blessing anyone with auspicious karmic luck.

Now he really felt that he made a wise decision asking for Qilin martial spirit. He once thought that he should have asked for something like Five - Clawed Golden Dragon or Royal Black Dragon as his martial spirit as they have quite the reputation and power. But after finding that even after transforming into something more powerful than any beast martial spirit it still kept its innate trait he was really overjoyed.

He quickly pulled himself from his thoughts as Dai Mubai introduced everyone to Ma Hongjun and told everyone that he was academy's third student. Everyone was surprised hearing that and even he himself was surprised seeing all the new students as Shrek Academy didn't recruit more than one or two students per year.

His eyes started to shine as he looked at the girls as he thought to himself. ' The one named Xiao Wu looked like she loves Tang San, So I can only try for the cold one or the serene one.'

He first looked at Ning Rongrong, then as he turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing he can ft someone glaring at him.

It was no one other than Dai Mubai as he slightly hinted that she was his.

But even after that he felt like someone watching him, he looked at everyone and can see Tang Ming smiling slightly toward him with his eyes closed. He immediately knew that Tang Ming was angry.

'Heh, why is brother Ming looking at the girl boss Dai is chasing. Eh.. it looks he also like the cold beauty. I'm going to enjoy seeing boss Dai beaten.' Ma Hongjun thought as a smile formed on his face.

Zhu Zhuqing who saw what Dai Mubai did, immediately glared at him and turned her head. She stealthily glanced at Tang Ming, who was also looking toward her with a smile. She immediately turned her head again as a slight blush can be seen on her pale face.

A/N : And thanks guys for your wishes and I really mean that. Don't worry about the next chapter as I stockpiled around 3-4 chapters but it is still in the notebook. So don't worry as I'm not going to drop it anytime soon.

Maybe I would take a break when I didn't know how to continue the story.

Ah I'm going for the second poll and it is which fanfic should I write next. And it will not be an action one, it will be mainly focused on romance. So the option are :-

i) Twilight.

Vote for them in paragraph comments so that's it is easy to count.

Anyway the next chapter will be released tomorrow at the same time as of today and you can see I'm increasing the word count.
