In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 384 Soul Sect Master Xiao Huohuo and Ning Rongrong Unleash Their Power

"His soul skills all seem to be mental, but when it comes to mental combat, even Boss Xiao can't beat you. Your mental pressure would definitely kill him!"

Ma Hongjun pointed at Huo Yuhao in the distance, facing Dai Mubai, and said excitedly.

"Um?"

Dai Mubai was taken aback upon hearing this. He glanced at the two soul rings spinning around Huo Yuhao not far away, and then at the disheveled Ma Hongjun. He immediately understood what was going on.

At this moment, Xiao Wu stood next to Huo Yuhao and spoke up for him, saying, "What, you want to outnumber us? Little Sanzi... uh, I forgot, the one-month deadline passed the day before yesterday, so now you should call me 'Third Brother' again. Third Brother, and Yuhao too, let's go together and teach this scoundrel and scoundrel a lesson!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu call him "Third Brother," Tang San was overjoyed. Thinking that what he was doing was just a minor skirmish, he didn't care about anything and immediately stood next to Huo Yuhao with Xiao Wu, looking like he was going to fight Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai together with Huo Yuhao.

"Hey, hey, what's the misunderstanding? Let's talk this out..."

Dai Mubai thought of Tang San, who was like a hedgehog yesterday, and then looked at Huo Yuhao, who was somewhat restrained by him but probably also quite rebellious against him. He couldn't help but take a half step back and said amicably.

"Misunderstand?"

Xiao Wu raised an eyebrow, immediately raised her hand and pointed directly at Ma Hongjun, then pointed to Cuihua, who had been hesitant to speak during the conflict, not far away.

"Ask him if you think it's a misunderstanding. This fat bastard is bullying a girl in broad daylight. We couldn't stand it and had to teach him a lesson."

Upon seeing this, Dai Mubai's expression turned strange as he looked at Cuihua.

"Cuihua, you can't stand him either?"

Upon hearing this, Cuihua thought for a moment, nodded, and then used this as an excuse to run away.

Ma Hongjun reached out to Cuihua, but then let his hand fall limply, his face full of dejection.

Afterwards, Dai Mubai, with a hint of excitement, told the trio about Ma Hongjun's situation. During the conversation, Ma Hongjun occasionally chimed in with a few words of rebuttal, but it seemed like he was just making excuses.

The five chatted as they walked towards the cafeteria. On the way, Ma Hongjun casually asked, "Hey, Huo Yuhao, what level are you now? How were you able to control me so tightly just now?"

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly at this, thinking that as a dignified quasi-Soul Master, a reincarnation of the God of Emotions, with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm by his side and the unprecedented first Soul Ring of the Four Soul Skills... dealing with the ordinary genius Ma Hongjun, who was still stuck in the twenties, would be a piece of cake.

Of course, despite his thoughts, Huo Yuhao only gave a vague answer: "I'm almost level 30."

"what?"

Ma Hongjun's pupils contracted slightly, Dai Mubai paused, and his expression changed slightly. Tang San frowned but quickly regained his composure, thinking that he was about to break through to level 30, so there was no need to feel pressured. As for Xiao Wu, she remained as pure and innocent as ever.

The five walked and stopped frequently, soon arriving at the Shillake Academy's canteen. This so-called canteen was actually just an agreement between the academy and the village, employing a few villagers to prepare meals for everyone. Breakfast was simple, but the portions were generous, so there was no problem getting full.

At that moment, two people, a man and a woman, were sitting in the cafeteria, keeping a certain distance from each other, like ordinary strangers.

As soon as Ma Hongjun entered the cafeteria, he rushed towards the man with red hair, his expression clearly somewhat obsequious.

"Boss Xiao, when did you get back? I didn't see you yesterday."

Xiao Huohuo looked at Ma Hongjun, who was almost touching her, and pushed him away with a look of disgust. But Ma Hongjun only leaned in even closer.

It turns out that when Xiao Huohuo arrived at Shilake Academy five years earlier than Xiao Wu and her two friends, he quickly met Ma Hongjun, who had been taken in as a personal disciple by Flander since childhood.

Both of them possessed fire-attribute martial souls, but Ma Hongjun was clearly no match for Xiao Huohuo in terms of age and strength. Furthermore, considering that Xiao Huohuo was Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Flander did not show much favoritism towards Ma Hongjun. As a result, Ma Hongjun quickly put aside his airs as the academy dean's personal disciple and obediently became Xiao Huohuo's underling.

"After I bought the spirit ring and inner core yesterday, I went to find a place to break through."

Seeing that Ma Hongjun was sticking to her like a leech, Xiao Huohuo shook her head and stopped trying to pry him off, casually saying...

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's lewd little eyes lit up slightly.

"So, Boss Xiao, you're already a Soul Master?"

"Um."

Xiao Huohuo nodded slightly.

Hearing their conversation, everyone in the cafeteria turned their attention to Xiao Huohuo, including Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong had just arrived at the cafeteria, while her older sister had already gone back to her mental sea to catch up on sleep. Because she didn't have the habit of accepting strangers' advances, she casually brushed off Xiao Huohuo's attempt to chat with her.

Now it seems... a Soul Master who is not even 17 years old? That's quite a genius, and she might even reach the Soul King realm within three years, but for her, that's just so-so.

Ning Rongrong quickly withdrew her somewhat surprised gaze from Xiao Huohuo, and then continued eating her breakfast as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun, who had been chatting enthusiastically with his "Boss Xiao" for a while, stood up and noticed Ning Rongrong sitting quietly eating by herself. Seeing her beautiful face and elegant demeanor, his lecherous little eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and then he subconsciously moved his gaze downwards...

Swish!

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong disappeared from her seat. Ma Hongjun was immediately stunned. Before he could react, a sharp sword was pressed against the back of his neck.

"Stop giving me that disgusting look, or you won't hear my warning again."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong calmly put away the Xuan Tie sword, walked past Ma Hongjun, and returned to her seat.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun's somewhat dazed eyes gradually focused, and he subconsciously turned his head away in fear. After regaining his senses, he became angry and embarrassed, and was about to stare intently at Ning Rongrong again, but just then, Xiao Huohuo pulled him back.

While gently pulling on Ma Hongjun, Xiao Huohuo looked at Ning Rongrong with a somewhat serious expression.

Unexpectedly, that seemingly serene and elegant girl was actually so terrifying.

Aside from him, Huo Yuhao, who had witnessed Ning Rongrong's prowess yesterday, was alright, but Xiao Wu and Tang San had different expressions at this moment, especially Tang San, whose eyes seemed to be bulging out of their sockets.

That speed… damn, is that Ning Rongrong?!

Shortly after, Oscar also arrived at the cafeteria.
