Chapter 58: Grand Eunuch Ma Hongjun

Chapter 58: Grand Eunuch Ma Hongjun

Why is Ma Hongjun walking like that?

To answer that, we must go back to the night before last when Flender, with gritted teeth, a hardened heart, and trembling hands, made a decisive cut...

"Fatty, what's wrong with you?"

Oscar asked curiously, feeling that something was off with Ma Hongjun, though he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Ma Hongjun frowned and shook his head without speaking.

What's wrong with him?

He had bid farewell to his twelve-year companion—what else could be wrong!

Yesterday, he tried cultivating and found that, as expected, the evil fire was truly resolved!

The evil fire, the powerful yang energy—he couldn't store yang energy anymore. The strong yang energy generated was immediately released, creating a delicate balance.

Therefore, the evil fire generated during his cultivation was no longer a threat!

"Ah, my Ma family has had only one descendant per generation, and now, in my generation..."

Sadness welled up in Ma Hongjun's heart, beyond his control!

Disabling his martial soul completely would be the perfect solution, but how could he, a soul master, accept a life without his martial soul!

His Ma family had finally mutated into a Phoenix martial soul, and now he had to give it up? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Everyone's here, very good!"

Flender's voice arrived before he did, appearing before everyone.

For a Soul Sage-level expert like him, performing this act before a group of Grandmasters and Soul Elders was quite simple.

Looking at Tang San, Flender's expression turned colorful!

These days, Shrek Academy had been bustling!

The daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's master had come, but unfortunately, she didn't stay at Shrek Academy.

The young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had come, but he merely visited Shrek Academy without intending to enroll. Besides, even if he wanted to enroll, Flender couldn't teach him anyway!

Whether he could even defeat him was questionable!

With just his first soul skill, he instantly defeated Zhao Wuji, who was using his martial soul true body. Flender knew Zhao Wuji's strength well; if he weren't an agility-type and couldn't fly, he might not even be Zhao Wuji's match.

Finally, Tang San, the son of the Clear Sky Douluo from the Clear Sky Clan, also came to Shrek Academy and successfully enrolled.

Thinking about this, Flender's expression became quite colorful. What good fortune did Shrek Academy have to attract the offspring of the top three clans to visit!

"Good day, Dean (Teacher)!"

Everyone greeted in unison, with Ma Hongjun calling out "Teacher" in a hoarse voice, which no one gave much thought to.

"Hmm."

Flender nodded in acknowledgment and continued, "Since everyone has decided to stay at Shrek Academy, it's time to officially start classes."

This year, four little monsters had come, but unfortunately, two left for various reasons.

This saddened Flender, but he was helpless.

"Yes!"

"Um, Dean, I..."

Oscar hesitated. He felt that if he didn't speak up now, he might have to wait a few more days.

Since he wasn't late, he hadn't caught Flender's attention. Who would, without reason, specifically monitor a student's soul power changes? That would be exhausting!

"Oscar, do you have something to say?"

Flender asked, puzzled.

Before Oscar could reply, Flender's eyes narrowed in surprise. "Oscar, have you broken through to level 30?"

Indeed, just by looking at Oscar, Flender noticed the fluctuation in his soul power. Under normal circumstances, a soul master's soul power wouldn't fluctuate like that.

It was either during battle or when breaking through...

For Oscar, it was obviously the latter; he had been stuck at level 29 for a long time, and his breakthrough was expected.

"Yes, Dean, I've broken through!"

Oscar said excitedly. Once Flender knew, he would take him to obtain a soul ring, right?

Once he had a soul ring, he would be a Soul Elder-level expert, and he could receive 100 gold soul coins from the Martial Soul Hall every month.

One hundred gold soul coins, practically unspendable!

As a food-type soul master, his training involved cooking. The better the ingredients, the better the training. But with Shrek Academy's conditions...

"Very good, Oscar. You have not disappointed me!"

Flender finally showed a smile. This was the only good news he had heard in days.

"Oscar, you are currently the second student in the academy to break through to Soul Elder. Congratulations!"

Hearing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu instinctively looked at Oscar. They hadn't expected this guy to reach Soul Elder before them!

Thinking about Oscar's age, they felt relieved. This guy was already fourteen; breaking through to Soul Elder was normal.

"Congratulations, Oscar!"

Tang San and Xiao Wu said somewhat insincerely.

They weren't close to Oscar, and Tang San didn't know much about his roommate.

Fourteen years old, a Soul Elder? Hmph...

"Oscar is a food-type soul master. Among all the food-type soul masters on the Douluo Continent, he is definitely the youngest Soul Elder!"

As if seeing through Tang San and Xiao Wu's thoughts, Flender explained.

"???"

"Originally, I planned to start formal classes today, but never mind. Go back and rest, and prepare. Tomorrow, we will head to the Star Dou Forest to help Oscar obtain his third soul ring."

Flender said.

Yes, Flender didn't mention Zhao Wuji because Zhao Wuji was still bedridden. His injuries hadn't healed yet, so how could he go to the Star Dou Forest?

Flender planned to lead the team himself to help Oscar get his third soul ring.

In Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji was the most versatile, and his soul skills were the most effective in helping students obtain soul rings.

With Zhao Wuji seriously injured, Flender, as the dean, had to step in personally.

Tang San, Xiao Wu: "..."

The first class had been postponed again and again, making them quite speechless.

Hearing they were going to the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She had been away from the Star Dou Forest for six years.

If Flender hadn't mentioned the Star Dou Forest, she would have almost forgotten why she had transformed into human form and started cultivating among humans.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, how are you now?"

Xiao Wu thought to herself.

"Teacher, can I... can I not go?"

Ma Hongjun said at this moment. His injuries hadn't healed yet, and long-distance travel might aggravate his wounds.

Hearing this, Flender thought for a moment and then nodded, agreeing to Ma Hongjun's request.

"Hongjun, you can stay at the academy to recuperate. You don't need to accompany us to the Star Dou Forest tomorrow."

"Recuperate?"

Everyone was stunned. They looked at Ma Hongjun, noticing that his face seemed a bit pale...
