The Greater the Expectation, the Greater the Disappointment!
Oscar and Xiao Yuanyuan's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Hot Dog," didn't have the expected effect.
Compared to Dai Mubai and Xiang Chengxian's Black and White Demon Tiger, and Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Exquisite Spear, this Martial Soul Fusion was far inferior.
After everyone ate the two's hot dogs, the resulting amplification was only greater than the effect of one person alone. It was equivalent to one plus one equals two, not the greater than two effect seen with Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.
It was certain that the fusion was successful, but the effect was minimal. The surprise wasn't as great as other fusion skills.
The only benefit they discovered so far was:
delicious!
A perfect combination of meat and vegetables, incredibly delicious.
Compared to their individual breads and sausages, it was truly much tastier.
This kind of Martial Soul Fusion Skill seemed somewhat useless. The effect was certainly better than individual ones, but it also consumed more Soul Power and took longer to create.
However, this was the first time they knew of a food-type Martial Soul fusion, so there was no reference point for what might happen. Such an effect could only be attributed to the special nature of food-type Martial Souls.
However, something is better than nothing; at least the boosts can be added together, making it incredibly powerful in the later stages.
Xiao Yuanyuan also stayed and joined Shrek Academy to study.
The next morning.
"I broke through!"
Like a rooster crowing, Dai Mubai's scream woke Ma Hongjun.
Since being with Xiang Chengxian, Dai Mubai had been gradually tamed. The fiery Ma Hongjun was still the same fiery Ma Hongjun, while the playboy Dai Shao had almost turned into a little puppy.
Perhaps because of the power of love, after Dai Mubai rallied three years ago, he began to cultivate seriously.
Ma Hongjun always slept with him and knew that Dai Mubai basically didn't sleep at night, always cultivating.
"What's all the noise about, Mu Bai? Can you please stop disturbing Chunmeng!"
"Hongjun, I broke through! I broke through to level 39!"
"But you're still one level away from level 40, and you can't go hunting for spirit rings."
"No, I mean I discovered a secret. I think I broke through because I ate Xiao Ao and Yuanyuan's spirit fusion food."
"What..."
Ma Hongjun gathered everyone together again, asked them all, and came to a conclusion.
They all returned late yesterday and ate "hot dogs" before going to rest.
Among those who went back to cultivate after eating hot dogs last night were Dai Mubai, Xiang Chengxian, and Zhu Zhuqing. Oscar and Xiao Yuanyuan also counted, as these two food-type cultivators' cultivation method was to sleep.
Last night, Dai Mubai broke through to level 39, and Zhu Zhuqing broke through to level 28. Both of them advanced one level.
The other three also felt the changes in their cultivation. After eating "hot dogs," their spirit power cultivation speed was a little faster than usual.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had been accumulating for a period of time and were on the verge of breaking through, so with the help of "hot dogs," they broke through naturally.
If it weren't for Dai Mubai's breakthrough, which prompted them to notice this, the others wouldn't have realized these subtle changes.
Ma Hongjun immediately ate the hot dog, then circulated the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Scripture, entering a meditative state.
Soon, Ma Hongjun discovered that after eating the hot dog, it transformed into a warm energy within his body, flowing throughout his entire being, accelerating the circulation of his cultivation technique. He could also refine a portion of this energy, transforming it into his own soul power.
"This is truly a miraculous elixir!
Such an effect is worthy of the God of Food!"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed inwardly. How could a martial soul fusion skill involving the martial soul of the God of Food be anything less than excellent? Such effects were to be expected.
The food prepared by the God of Food, besides being delicious, must also be beneficial to the body.
This is similar to Eastern culinary culture, where different combinations of ingredients have different effects.
With food primarily focused on health, increasing cultivation speed becomes much easier to understand.
However, the effects of this skill were too miraculous and required further study. He wondered if there would be any side effects, since long-term consumption might resemble drug-induced cultivation, potentially leading to an unstable foundation.
However, the effect of hot dogs on cultivation was too subtle; one couldn't even feel it if they weren't paying attention, unlike other potent remedies that provided rapid advancement.
It was more like a gentle, silent rain nourishing the earth.
This kind of effect required a long time to become apparent.
Five days later,
Grandmaster and Flander returned.
Having finally obtained his third spirit ring and become a Spirit Master, Grandmaster seemed like a completely different person, as if he had suddenly become much younger.
"From today onwards, all your training will be under Grandmaster's supervision.
Hongjun, Mubai, you must lead everyone to cooperate well with Grandmaster's training.
In Shrek Academy, Grandmaster's words are my words. Anyone who dares to disobey will leave Shrek Academy."
"Yes, Teacher!"
"Yes, Dean!"
Flander announced the decision again, then handed everyone over to Grandmaster.
"Greetings, little monsters! From now on, I will be your teacher. My name is Yu Xiaogang, and you can call me Master."
The Master introduced himself with confidence. He used to be arrogant, his tone always cold, and he was even reluctant to mention his own name.
"Greetings, Master!"
"I will lead your training from now on, and I will accompany you.
Before we begin, please introduce your respective martial souls and strengths. I need to have a clear understanding of you all, and you should also get to know each other.
Hongjun, you go first!"
The Master had just arrived, and Flander hadn't had time to tell him everything about everyone in the past two days. He had
only told the Master about the identities of Haotian Douluo, Sword Douluo, Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu's soul beast, Ma Hongjun's twin martial souls, Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai and Xiang Chengxian, and the martial soul fusion skills of the two groups.
Ma Hongjun stepped forward, summoned his martial soul, and four soul rings appeared.
"Ma Hongjun, Martial Soul: Silver Spear, Level 43 Weapon Soul Master." "
Xiang Chengxian, Martial Soul: Black Tiger, Level 41 Battle Soul Master."
"Dai Mubai, Martial
Soul: White Tiger, Level 39 Battle Soul Venerable." "Tang San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Level 33 Weapon Soul Venerable."
"Oscar, Martial Soul: Sausage, Level 31 Weapon Soul Venerable."
"Xiao Yuanyuan, Martial Soul: Bread, Level 34 Weapon Soul Venerable."
"Ning Rongrong, Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 27 Weapon Soul Master."
"Zhu Zhuqing, Martial Soul: Netherworld Cat, Level 28 Battle Soul Master."
"Meng Yiran, Martial Soul: Snake Staff, Level 31 Weapon Soul Venerable."
The Grandmaster was astonished upon hearing this, especially considering the ages of the group.
Xiang Chengxian and Xiao Yuanyuan were eighteen, Dai Mubai and Meng Yiran were fifteen, Oscar was fourteen, and Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were twelve.
All were under twenty, igniting boundless fighting spirit within the Grandmaster.
Not to mention the three Martial Soul Fusion Skills, the most outstanding Ma Hongjun and Tang San both possess twin Martial Souls and external Soul Bones.
Truly, heaven favors him; this time, all the knowledge Yu Xiaogang has acquired in the first half of his life finally has a chance to be put to use.
These talented disciples gathered under his tutelage allow his acquired knowledge to be displayed on these individuals.
Feeling the power of the golden dragon within his body once more, Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had returned to his youth.
Now, this is a brand new beginning; he will embark on a new journey with these young and outstanding little monsters.
To create a new century, a century belonging to monsters.
A new day,
