Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"what happened?"

Wang Sheng asked, puzzled.

"Your dark circles look a bit severe?"

Wang Teng explained.

"Ugh, don't even mention it, hahaha—"

Wang Sheng yawned deeply and rubbed his sore eyes vigorously.

"Last night, I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about your match against Ma Hongjun at Shrek Academy today. I kept tossing and turning, afraid that you would lose."

"Haha, you're really like the eunuch who's more worried than the emperor."

Wang Teng laughed loudly, patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, and said, "I haven't even taken it to heart myself, but you're worried about it so much."

As he spoke, Wang Teng walked to the well in the courtyard and turned the wheel to draw up a bucket of water.

After washing up with the cool well water, the two brothers, feeling a little refreshed, left the courtyard together.

The two grabbed some breakfast from a roadside stall to fill their stomachs.

Then, they set off in the direction of Shrek Academy.

The two didn't know the way at first, but after asking a few pedestrians along the way, they quickly figured out their location.

Before long, they walked out of the city gates of Soto and onto the winding country road outside the city.

On both sides of the road were vast fields, and in the distance stretched endless wilderness, with the population gradually dwindling.

Wang Sheng looked around, a look of doubt on his face, and muttered, "This place... is it really Shrek Academy?"

"When I asked for directions earlier, so many people knew about this academy. I thought it was some kind of grand place, but it turns out it's hidden in a village?"

"Alright, brother, let's walk a little further, we should be there soon."

Wang Teng comforted him with a smile.

After walking a short distance, Wang Sheng suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Little brother, do you see a village over there?"

Wang Teng looked in that direction and saw a small village not far away, with sparse houses and wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys.

"Yes, that should be it."

"The information I had previously gathered indicated that Shrek Academy was located in the vicinity."

The two quickened their pace and soon arrived at the village entrance.

The first thing that catches the eye is a worn-out wooden sign hanging next to the gate, with the five large characters "Shrek Academy" written on it, the writing already somewhat faded.

"This is... way too shabby!"

Wang Sheng looked up at the sign, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.

He originally thought that an academy capable of cultivating powerful Soul Masters like Ma Hongjun and Oscar should at least be magnificent and grand.

However, the scene before him was hard for Wang Sheng to accept.

"Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

Wang Teng, however, remained calm.

After all, he already knew what Shrek Academy was like.

After saying that, Wang Teng walked inside, and Wang Sheng had no choice but to follow.

They had barely taken a few steps into the village when they heard someone calling out to them, "Wang Teng, Wang Sheng, over here!"

Oscar was standing under an old tree, waving vigorously at them.

The two walked over quickly. Wang Sheng looked around and asked, "Oscar, where's Ma Hongjun?"

"Fatty is already waiting on the playground. I'll take you there now."

As Oscar led them toward the village, he said, "By the way, Wang Teng, our academy's teachers have heard about your match with Fatty. They'll probably all come to watch later."

"I don't care if I watch the game."

Wang Teng said in a relaxed tone.

The three walked along the village path for about ten minutes, and then a wide-open space appeared before them.

Although it's called a playground, it's actually more like a threshing ground commonly used in the village.

The ground was compacted sand, with some haystacks piled up around it, and the villagers' vegetable fields in the distance.

"Um... our college's sports field is a bit rudimentary, please don't mind."

Oscar scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"This isn't just rudimentary, this isn't even a playground..."

Wang Sheng couldn't help but complain again.

Wang Teng interrupted him with a smile: "Big brother, you stay here and watch from the side, I'm going over."

After saying that, he strode towards the center of the field.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun was already standing in the center of the playground.

He crossed his arms, looking eager to try.

Several adults stood around the area; they were clearly teachers from Shrek Academy.

One of the men, a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing glasses, stood out.

“Those around me are all teachers from the academy.”

Oscar whispered to Wang Teng, "The one wearing glasses is our dean."

"understood."

Wang Teng nodded, his gaze casually sweeping over the group of people.

"That must be 'Four-Eyed Cat Owl' Flander, he does look somewhat familiar; the short, stocky guy next to him, who looks like a mountain bear, is probably Zhao Wuji."

Wang Teng mentally analyzed the people watching the battle around him.

Then, Wang Teng walked up to Ma Hongjun and stood opposite him. Ma Hongjun immediately raised his chin and said, "I thought you didn't dare to come!"

"Let's get started."

Wang Teng didn't want to say much.

Oscar walked between the two, looked at them, and then called out, "If neither of you has any objections, I will be the referee for this match."

"No objection."

"I have no objection either."

The two answered almost simultaneously.

"Alright, then both sides please release your Martial Souls!"

"Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix!"

Suddenly, a ring of blazing flames rose around Ma Hongjun, and a fat, crimson bird, its entire body engulfed in flames, appeared behind him, its wings spread as if the air itself were trembling.

"Wow!"

The firebird raised its head and let out a loud cry, full of imposing presence.

"Beyblade, come out!"

Wang Teng waved his right hand forward, and a silver-white bolt of lightning shot out from his palm, quickly condensing into a high-speed spinning top in the air.

The top whistled as it landed on the ground, leaving a clear circular mark on the sandy surface with a "hum".

"Battle: Begin!"

As soon as Oscar finished speaking, the two of them moved at the same time.

Wang Teng knew that he was not as strong as Ma Hongjun in terms of soul power, so he decided to win by speed and went all out from the start.

"First Soul Skill: Gale Steed Spinning Top!"

A flash of blue light appeared on the surface of the silver-white spinning top, and a new deep blue spinning top was summoned.

The newly released Gale Steed spinning top spins at a significantly faster speed, producing a subtle whistling sound.

"go with!"

The fierce steed, Spinning Top, hurtled towards Ma Hongjun like a streak of blue lightning.

On the other side, Ma Hongjun had also completed the spirit possession.

His body was covered in crimson feathers, his hands had transformed into sharp claws, and a faint wave of heat swirled around him.

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!"

Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and spat out a straight line of fire that shot towards the spinning top.

Ultimate Technique: Phantom Wind Chaser!

Wang Teng also shouted loudly.

Chapter 67 Flanders' Invitation

Once his ultimate move was unleashed, Wang Teng unleashed his full soul power.

The swift steed, Gale, increased its speed again, and just before the fire line was about to hit it, it suddenly turned, drawing a blue arc.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several afterimages of spinning tops were left on the field, and Ma Hongjun's attack completely missed.

At that moment, the spinning top had already flashed in front of Ma Hongjun.

The top suddenly sprang upwards, striking him squarely in the face!

Ma Hongjun hurriedly raised his hand to block, but was still hit squarely, and staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.

Having landed a successful blow, Wang Teng did not pursue.

Instead, with a thought, he retrieved the spinning top.
