Chapter 77: Chapter 75: Do You Believe That?
After hearing those words, Yun Feng exaggeratedly expressed 'surprise.'
"Huh? The dean has such poor taste?"
Dai Mubai didn't know how to respond to that, but he still offered an explanation.
"No, it's just that your strength is too overwhelming."
Yun Feng shook his head and continued, "I was talking about this little fatty's character, not just his lack of strength."
Dai Mubai thought for a moment and decided to explain further.
"Yun Feng, I think there's been a misunderstanding."
However, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu immediately cut in, saying:
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding here!"
Dai Mubai, seeing his words interrupted by the two girls, felt a flash of annoyance in his eyes but took a deep breath before speaking slowly.
"Actually, you can't entirely blame Ma Hongjun. The fault lies with his peculiar martial soul. The dean said that Ma Hongjun's martial soul is a mutated one."
"Mutated martial soul? What kind of martial souls mutated together to create it?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
She had learned about and even seen mutated martial souls before. Every mutated martial soul usually resulted from a combination, and she was naturally curious about the unknown.
Furthermore, martial soul mutations could only go two ways: either becoming incredibly powerful or being weakened. Ma Hongjun's martial soul, from what she could tell, seemed to be one of the beneficial mutations.
Dai Mubai, after thinking for a moment, responded directly:
"To be honest, not even Ma Hongjun fully understands it. In his village, everyone's martial souls were basically non-combative domestic poultry. Somehow, though, his martial soul mutated and gained innate fire abilities."
"Ma Hongjun didn't enroll on his own. Three years ago, the dean discovered him in his village and brought him back to the academy. He's about the same age as you."
"Because of the mutation, Ma Hongjun gained powerful fire abilities. His fire is particularly strange—it's not only extremely hot but also very adhesive and hard to extinguish. The dean said that after his martial soul mutation, he might have really become a phoenix."
"However, his martial soul also has a significant flaw. Although the mutation gave him strong soul power, it also had certain effects on his body."
Dai Mubai quickly added:
"He can't suppress the evil fire!"
"So, he's not doing it on purpose."
As soon as Dai Mubai finished speaking, Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and said:
"Do you even believe what you're saying?"
Her words instantly left Dai Mubai speechless.
He knew exactly what kind of person Ma Hongjun was. While the evil fire had some influence, wasn't most of it driven by Ma Hongjun's own desires?
Yun Feng, after thinking for a moment and glancing at the bleeding Ma Hongjun, didn't push the matter further. He simply said to Dai Mubai:
"Since he's a student of the academy, you should take him to get treated. Otherwise, if he ends up with lasting injuries, it wouldn't be good. Really, he could've avoided this if he didn't provoke us. What was he even thinking?"
Ma Hongjun almost burst into tears upon hearing this.
Finally, someone had noticed him.
In just a few minutes, Ma Hongjun had felt like he was on the brink of death.
Dai Mubai, understanding Yun Feng's words, nodded quickly. He picked up Ma Hongjun and hurriedly left.
Cuihua hesitated for a moment before following Dai Mubai out.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, both showing a look of helplessness. Meanwhile, Yun Feng's eyes were filled with amusement.
"Mind your own business next time. They're just a lovey-dovey couple, and you two were just a part of their little game."
Zhu Zhuqing, who hadn't felt much about the situation earlier, suddenly burst into laughter after hearing Yun Feng's comment.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, however, turned bright red in embarrassment.
"Ahhhhhh—"
"You're so annoying!" Xiao Wu cried out.
Yun Feng just laughed, not taking their reactions to heart.
Having played the clown once, they would remember not to recklessly help others in the future.
Yun Feng and his group of four wandered for a while before asking a villager where Shrek's cafeteria was.
When they found out, they were speechless.
The so-called cafeteria was just part of an agreement between the academy and the village. A few villagers had been hired to handle the meals.
Although the breakfast was simple, it was plentiful, so there was no worry about going hungry.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Oscar was already there, eating.
Seeing Yun Feng surrounded by the girls, Oscar instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Realizing what was happening, he quickly put on a serious expression.
Since he didn't know which of the girls was Yun Feng's girlfriend, he didn't dare make a move.
However, he was confident in his own charm and was determined to win them over.
"Yun Feng, over here!"
Following the voice, Yun Feng noticed that Oscar looked quite different.
The biggest change was that his beard was gone.
When Yun Feng saw him, he almost didn't recognize him. Without the beard, Oscar looked like a completely different person.
Dai Mubai was already very handsome, especially with his evil-eyed double pupils, which gave him an attractive, mysterious charm.
But even so, Oscar without his beard was still more handsome than Dai Mubai, at least in terms of facial features.
Oscar had deep-set peach blossom eyes, which gave him a brooding, mysterious look. His face was smooth and refined, and he carried a roguish smile, making him look like a charming nobleman.
Of course, even with his makeover, Oscar couldn't compare to Yun Feng.
What did it mean to be otherworldly? Yun Feng was the embodiment of that.
"Who's that guy?"
"I don't know, he looks okay, but he's kind of feminine."
"Yeah, yeah."
Oscar was momentarily stunned by Ning Rongrong's and the other girls' comments. After awkwardly chuckling, he said:
"I'm Oscar. We've met before."
Oscar blinked his peach blossom eyes and struck what he thought was a dashing pose.
To his surprise, the girls instinctively took a step back, especially Ning Rongrong, who blurted out:
"Uncle Sausage!"
Oscar's face immediately darkened.
Both Xiao Wu and Yun Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud at the nickname.
"Hahaha!"
"What kind of nickname is that? But it suits him perfectly!"
Xiao Wu didn't hold back, saying exactly what was on her mind.
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Oscar lowered his head and focused on eating.
