Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 361 Ma Hongjun is blackmailed by Dai Mubai

Soto City.

Ma Hongjun had reached the point where he could awaken his martial spirit. After years of development, the roads in Caocun Village had been transformed from dirt roads to concrete roads.

Ma Hongjun's mother passed away from illness last year, and the orphan followed a group of children to the Martial Spirit Hall at the entrance of the village.

The Spirit Hall at the village entrance was not the dilapidated wooden hut or thatched hut of the past, but a large courtyard responsible for managing village affairs, distributing welfare, building roads and houses, and so on.

Ten children met the awakening conditions along with Ma Hongjun.

He was very confident at that moment, and he didn't give those children his age a friendly look, looking down at them with arrogance.

"From today onwards, it will be the beginning of my future triumphant return as the God of Fire, Ma Hongjun!"

At this moment, Ma Hongjun was full of confidence, and he had already reserved the position of Vulcan in his heart.

Including Ma Hongjun, there were eleven people in total. Since there weren't many people, it was Ma Hongjun's turn to be called quickly.

The person in charge of awakening was a Great Soul Master with a vine-like martial soul. Unlike other children who were nervous and excited during their first awakening, Ma Hongjun was not like them.

He was in a very calm mood, and under the guidance of the Great Soul Master, he easily awakened his Martial Soul, a somewhat chubby fire phoenix.

"Beneficial mutated martial soul, Fire Phoenix."

The Great Soul Master's eyes widened slightly. He hadn't expected that such a rare case, one of the very few mentioned in the book, would appear before him, and it seemed to be a very powerful Martial Soul.

Thinking of this, he quickly took out the testing crystal.

"Come here, child, let's test your innate soul power."

Ma Hongjun confidently rubbed his nose with his thumb, then took the crystal ball, which immediately lit up with a bright light.

"Level 8!"

The Great Soul Master's eyes widened. It was actually a level eight innate soul power! You must know, this level is enough to directly enter the Spirit City to study.

"Child, would you be willing to join the Martial Soul Empire and contribute to its development?"

"Ah, the Empire will treat you very generously."

The Great Soul Master looked at the child in front of him with anticipation. Discovering geniuses for the empire was also their achievement, and it was rewarded, and by a considerable sum.

Ma Hongjun shook his head and said, "I will not join the Martial Soul Empire. I have my own plans."

Upon hearing this, the other children's envious gazes instantly turned into those of looking at someone as if they were an idiot, along with a sense of incomprehension.

The Great Soul Master was also taken aback, thinking that he had not explained things comprehensively enough, and quickly explained the benefits of joining the Spirit Empire one by one.

With educational and cultivation resources, everything in the future will be protected by the empire. With Ma Hongjun's talent, he will surely become a titled Douluo in the future.

However, no matter how much the Great Soul Master said, Ma Hongjun still shook his head and refused.

"Sigh, never mind. Since you have your own plans, the Empire won't force you. Take this; you'll need it if you want to enter the academy for systematic learning in the future."

As he spoke, the Great Soul Master gave Ma Hongjun a file with his basic information and the official seal of the local Spirit Hall.

Ma Hongjun took it and turned to leave.

Seeing Ma Hongjun leave, the Great Soul Master shook his head with some regret, and then continued to awaken the martial souls of the children behind him.

"Now that I've awakened my martial soul, it's time to go to Shrek Academy! Immortal Herb, here I come!!"

Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, a lewd smile creeping across his face.

Shrek Academy wasn't far from his Chicken Village; it was only about a two-mile walk away.

Looking at Shrek Academy, which was still as dilapidated as in his previous life, Ma Hongjun did not look down on it at all. On the contrary, because of his achievements in his previous life, he felt that this place was much better than anywhere else.

"How nostalgic!"

Ma Hongjun was about to enter the academy with a sigh when a pebble landed on his head, causing him to turn around angrily and roar.

"Who dares to throw stones at me? Are you looking for death?!"

"Little Fatty, this is an academy. How can you just walk in like that?" Dai Mubai jumped down from the tree and recognized Ma Hongjun at a glance, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he planned to scare the other party to establish his authority.

Although Dai Mubai and Oscar transmigrated at the same time as him, they were two or three years old when they transmigrated, so they naturally arrived earlier than him, who was an infant.

Ma Hongjun saw the person who came in, with white hair and heterochromatic eyes, but he didn't recognize who it was. After all, Dai Mubai was wearing someone else's body, not his own, so naturally he wasn't recognized.

Dai Mubai stepped forward. He was already a Soul Master, and being older than Ma Hongjun, he was naturally much taller.

Ma Hongjun felt that this person was very familiar, especially the sense of oppression he felt. He looked up into the other person's eyes and nervously swallowed.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Dai Mubai patted the other person's shoulder, squeezed it slightly, and said with a bullying expression, "Little fatty, you're here to join Shrek Academy, right?"

"Yes, so what?"

Ma Hongjun retorted, sticking his neck out. He was a phoenix god reborn, the future god of fire. How could he be scared by a half-grown boy?
"That's right, give it to me."

Dai Mubai smiled, stretched out one hand, and made a demanding gesture.

Ma Hongjun was stunned: "What?"

"The entrance fee is fifteen gold soul coins. I'll give it to the dean for you."

Ma Hongjun's face twitched, thinking to himself, "Wasn't it supposed to be ten? How did it become fifteen?"

"Hurry up, I'm really pressed for time. If you delay me, believe me, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"

Dai Mubai stretched out one hand, picked his nose with the other, and glanced sideways at Ma Hongjun, urging him on.

Ma Hongjun stared at the other person suspiciously; his demeanor and expression seemed to resemble an old acquaintance.

"You're from this college too?"

"Nonsense, my name is Dai Mubai. If you need anything in the future, just ask me. I'll protect you."

"Dai Mubai!!"

"What, do you know me?" Dai Mubai stared at Ma Hongjun suspiciously.

"Uh, I don't know him."

Ma Hongjun quickly shook his head, but his heart was full of doubts. The temperament was very similar, but this was not the appearance of Boss Dai at all. Could it be because it was a parallel world and had mutated?
Why haven't I changed?

"Then why are you getting so worked up? Hurry up and pay me so I can let you in."

"Uh, I don't have any money."

Ma Hongjun shrugged.

"No money? You're the one who signs up, aren't you? I think you're just trying to avoid paying and want to get beaten up, huh?"

As Dai Mubai spoke, he flexed his wrists, and the bones cracked.

"No, no, no, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun quickly backed down. He knew he couldn't beat Boss Dai right now, and based on his understanding of the other man, he knew he was in for a beating if he didn't pay.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai was secretly pleased, knowing that this fatso was up to no good, and extended his hand again.

"Bring it here."

Ma Hongjun reluctantly took out a few gold soul coins and a pile of bronze and silver soul coins.

After weighing it in his mind, Dai Mubai smiled and said, "Alright, I've got the money. You can go in now. If you need anything in the future, just say my name is Dai Mubai."

After saying that, Dai Mubai left the academy in a carefree manner, as he was going to the city to have some fun.

Ma Hongjun's face twitched, realizing that the other party was trying to rob him. Luckily, he was quick-witted and took a bunch of silver and copper soul coins, making the other party mistakenly believe that he didn't have much money left.

Although he was ripped off, he was still heartbroken, but he couldn't win, so he could only endure it. Anyway, once he became a Soul Master, he could go to the Spirit Hall to collect his money, and then he could live a carefree life, and then wait for his third brother and Xiao Wu to arrive.
