Chapter 95

"I don't know if it's my illusion, why do I feel that the soul power around me has become so abundant?"

"I have the same feeling. I just tried to practice it and the speed was much faster. I also felt that this power has become more advanced. I subconsciously thought that breaking through the barrier of level 40 would not be that difficult."

"I feel the same way! Could it be because of this mysterious chain? It's so magical..."

All over Douluo Continent, wherever there are humans living.

There were discussions about chains and soul power upgrades. These two points didn't even need to be verified, after all, they really appeared in front of countless people.

Inside Shrek Academy.

Ma Hongjun’s exclusive residence.

He has never practiced cultivation since he came to the lower world.

In other words, he has stopped practicing since he ascended to become a god ten thousand years ago. After all, for individuals who become gods, their fate is determined from the moment they are determined to be a certain level of god, and no matter how they practice, it will not have any effect.

He didn't care about the binary star links and the strange chains because he didn't care and didn't take them seriously.

After all, in Douluo Continent, no matter how powerful something appears, can it reach the god level?

He slept until noon as usual.

Even though the Imperial Union had confirmed its cooperation with soul beasts, he still openly flouted the rules and ate meals made from the meat of ten thousand year old soul beasts.

Pour a glass of wine that is over fifty years old and savor its flavor.

Life is so comfortable.

"It would be nice if there were a few more beautiful maids, hehehe..."

Ma Hongjun muttered to himself, and several beautiful figures appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

But soon, he sighed and shook his head.

"It's a pity that Xiao Qi always bothers me. Although I can see that her purpose is to prevent me from harming the little girl, I am a god. Shouldn't I feel honored to be favored by those little girls?"

“Xiao Qi is the same. He is in such a passionate relationship with Huo Yuhao, but he won’t let me, an adult,…”

"No! One day I have to leave Xiao Qizhi and recruit two personal disciples, otherwise my trip to the lower world would be in vain."

dong dong dong-

Just as Ma Hongjun was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door of his private residence.

"Who?"

Ma Hongjun yelled, his tone mixed with anger.

Eating lunch and daydreaming pushed his emotions to the peak, but they were abruptly stopped by a knock on the door. It would be strange if he was not angry.

"Dean Ma, it's me."

A familiar male voice came from Ma Hongjun, and Ma Hongjun's anger slowly subsided.

"The door is unlocked, you can come in directly."

"Okay~"

The person outside the door responded in a slightly flattering manner, then pushed the door open and walked in.

He walked quickly to Ma Hongjun's side, nodded slightly, bent down, and acted servile.

"Director Chen, what do you want to talk to me about today? You are a very busy man! Since you became the director, you seem to have forgotten me as your friend. You haven't come to see me for a long time!"

Ma Hongjun said in a hoarse voice.

Director Chen, whose real name is Chen Yuntao, is an ordinary teacher in the Foreign Affairs College. He is the last among all the teachers in terms of both strength and teaching ability.

The students assigned to him every year were the last-place students. After six years, only a few of them entered the inner courtyard, and he was once on Shrek Academy's layoff list.

But since Ma Hongjun came, all this changed.

He has no ability or strength, but he is very good at dealing with people, flattery and sycophancy.

Earlier, when Moon was in Shrek Academy, his tricks didn't work; later, when Moon passed away and Xuanzi came to power, he hooked up with an old man, but he kicked him away as soon as Tang San left...

He understood then that only by grasping the tallest vines could the grafted branches grow without pressure.

He made the right bet!

He successfully climbed up to Ma Hongjun and was promoted several levels in less than two years.

From ordinary teachers to key teachers, and then to core teachers, ordinary class teachers, sequence class teachers, sequence class teachers...

Eventually, he was promoted to his current position, which is the Dean of Studies of the entire Foreign Affairs College.

As for the former director of studies Du Weilun, he followed Yan Shaozhe and stood on the wrong side. In the power struggle, Yan Shaozhe lost, and Du Weilun had to retreat to become the head teacher of the sequence class.

"How could that be, Dean Ma? I'm just too busy! As you know, our college has higher and higher requirements for students. Basically, there are tests every month, and as the Dean of Studies, I need to focus on handling them..."

Chen Yuntao said in an almost pleading tone.

But Ma Hongjun obviously didn't buy it.

Because the relationship between the two is not clean to begin with, and you, Chen Yuntao, pretend to be stupid in front of Ma Hongjun. Does he not take Ma Hongjun seriously?
"Oh? From what Director Chen said, you mean to blame me? Blame me for constantly raising the standards of Shrek Academy's students, which has kept Director Chen busy?"

Hearing this, fear flashed in Chen Yuntao's eyes.

He waved his hands vigorously.

“No, no, Dean Ma, how could I possibly mean that? Shrek Academy has become so powerful thanks to Dean Ma. Only by raising the standards of Shrek Academy can we show that we are the number one academy in the entire continent!!”

"Dean Ma, you are the root of our Shrek Academy, and we are the branches and leaves growing on the trunk. You are the real core of Shrek Academy. Without you, there would be no Shrek Academy!"

when--

Ma Hongjun put down the knife and fork in his hand, and the knife and fork made a sound when they touched the plate.

"Hahaha……"

Ma Hongjun stood up with a smile, took out a precious wine glass from the cabinet and placed it in front of Chen Yuntao.

And poured him a glass of his own wine.

"Our Director Chen is still good at talking!"

Chen Yuntao did not take the goblet immediately, but looked at Ma Hongjun first and showed weakness with his eyes.

He always gets the details right.

Ma Hongjun was also very satisfied with this.

"Director Chen, we are old friends. It would be inappropriate to be so formal!"

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun picked up the goblet and placed it in front of Chen Yuntao.

This time, Chen Yuntao did not refuse and took the goblet, but when he took the goblet, he took the initiative to bend over, like a bow.

"Thank you, Dean Ma."

Suck--

Chen Yuntao took a deep breath and spoke again: "Good wine! Dean Ma's collection really amazes me. I'm afraid there are only a few bottles of this wine in the entire Douluo Continent. It's so smooth and fragrant..."

Ma Hongjun smiled.

“Haha——Then Director Chen, you must taste it carefully. This is wine from fifty years ago!”

Chen Yuntao's face was filled with shock.

"Wha...what? This is wine from fifty years ago? It's really rare!"

After saying that, Chen Yuntao pushed out the goblet, took the initiative to hold the cup with Ma Hongjun, and lowered the goblet.

This is the benefit of the wine table, usually used by the lower-ranking people when toasting the higher-ranking people.

"Cheers~"

"Cheers~"

A glass of wine.

Chen Yuntao began to praise.

In fact, he doesn't like wine, but he still follows Ma Hongjun's hobby to learn about it, and at this moment he throws out all the words he has learned.

This is to please him!
Chen Yuntao was very successful, because in the next second, Ma Hongjun stood up, took out a bottle of identical wine from the wine cabinet and handed it to him.

"Director Chen, this wine is indeed very rare, but I see that you are also a fellow traveler, so I will give this bottle of wine to you!"

Chen Yuntao took the wine and put it away.

"Thank you, Dean Ma. I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. It's great to have you as my leader!"

Chen Yuntao was very happy, not because Ma Hongjun gave him wine, nor because the wine was so precious or rare.

It's because of the signal!

The signal represented by Ma Hongjun sending him wine at this time was that his flattery was successful again!

"By the way, Director Chen, you are a very busy man now. You can't have come to me this time just to get a bottle of wine from me! Tell me, what happened that required you to come to me in person?"

"Hehe...it turns out that nothing can be hidden from Dean Ma!"

After saying that, Chen Yuntao walked over to the chair opposite Ma Hongjun and sat down. He took out a few pieces of information from his soul guide storage device and handed them to Ma Hongjun opposite him.

Since the establishment of [City of Hope], the way in which the various colleges recruit students has changed.

There is a huge square in the center of [City of Hope], where students of appropriate age will present themselves in batches, and each college will then give a response of [interested] or [rejected].

Ultimately, the [interested] students will be admitted to the academy in order from the strongest to the weakest.

Unsurprisingly, Shrek Academy always has the highest priority. Once a student is identified as [interested] by them, he/she will be admitted to Shrek Academy; but at the same time, the admitted students have the right to refuse, and after refusing, they will be transferred to the second academy.

This is a mutual selection process, but...

It seems that no one in this world would refuse to become a disciple of Shrek Academy.

After Chen Yuntao took office, he was in charge of recruiting new students.

"Dean Ma, these are the special students in this recruitment. They are selected according to your requirements and preferences..."

Having said that, Chen Yuntao suddenly stood up and moved towards Ma Hongjun's position.

He spoke quietly and meaningfully.

"They are all female students with a beauty score of 8.5 or above. Dean Ma, take a look. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes sparkled.

He took a few pieces of information and read them with great interest.

Then he nodded, clicked his tongue, and gave a strange smile that was a little too obvious and vulgar.

After reading it, he put the information on the table, stood up, walked to Chen Yuntao's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hahaha - Director Chen, I'd be most satisfied if I handed over such a serious matter as enrollment to you! I've seen your abilities, and I think others have seen them too. The Vice Dean of the Spirit Department hasn't done anything for a long time, so I think this position..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuntao's eyes were also filled with joy.

He turned around, shook Ma Hongjun's hand, and said, "Thank you, Dean Ma, for your support! I will definitely work harder!"

"Hahaha - no way, the reason why Director Chen can make rapid progress is because he is very good. This is something that everyone can see."

"..."

It's another long period of socializing.

As usual, Chen Yuntao praised Ma Hongjun to the sky.

After a long while, when the social etiquette was over, Chen Yuntao asked, "Dean Ma, how do we arrange for these special admissions students?"

Ma Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "Let them enter the sequence class. By the way, Director Chen, these are the seedlings of my future disciples. You have to help me take care of them!"

"understand!"

After saying that, Chen Yuntao stood up and bowed again.

Chen Yuntao realized that it was no longer appropriate to continue.

"Then Dean Ma, I won't disturb you while you eat. I'll get busy first."

Ma Hongjun waved his hand and said, "Well, Director Chen, you are a busy man, please go quickly. Don't delay your work. I am still hungry, so I won't see you off. Bye."

"Goodbye, Dean Ma."

After saying that, Chen Yuntao stood up and strode out of Ma Hongjun’s exclusive residence.

Then, he immediately found several of his subordinates and arranged the specific matters.

And they are busy building a small villa in Shrek City.

This is Ma Hongjun's residence for rest outside the school. It is also the place where he teaches his disciples martial arts and improves their skills.

This was a plan that had been in place for some time. The most important part was to prevent Tang Wutong from finding out, otherwise Ma Hongjun's plan to teach his disciples would fail again.

Return to Ma Hongjun’s exclusive residence.

After Chen Yuntao left, he continued with his lunch. After lunch, he went out and wandered around Shrek Academy as usual.

They did it under the pretext of inspecting Shrek Academy to see if there was any misconduct, but in reality they were looking for disciples to teach.

But not long after he walked, a familiar woman walked up to him, pulling a man.

"Uncle Ma, are you out for a walk again? It's so boring to walk alone. Let Xiao Qi and Yu Hao accompany you. Otherwise, Uncle Ma, you will be too lonely."

That’s right, the person coming is Tang Wutong!

In order to prevent Ma Hongjun from harming other people, Tang Wutong even neglected her cultivation and kept an eye on Ma Hongjun all the time.

At the same time, she was always holding Huo Yuhao's hand.

The two have now established a relationship.

But Huo Yuhao was in a miserable situation. Because of Tang Wutong, he had no time to practice at all, and revenge became a distant prospect.

As for Ma Hongjun, although he really wanted Tang Wutong to get out, he really couldn't do it. There were too many reasons for this.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun felt a breath that should not appear in Douluo Continent.

"This is……"

Recalling this breath, Ma Hongjun's face quickly turned cold.

Seeing Ma Hongjun looking very abnormal, Tang Wutong asked doubtfully: "Uncle Ma, what's wrong with you? You look really bad!"

Ma Hongjun ignored Tang Wutong.

Instead, he continued to feel the breath that shouldn't exist, until he incredibly regained his senses and confirmed that he was not wrong.

The aura that shouldn't exist, exists!

"how come?"

"How could [Fairy Spirit] appear in Douluo Continent?"
