Chapter 80: This is Dai Mubai’s Betrothal Gift!

Douluo Continent (Anime Universe):

"Mu Bai, what's got you so happy all of a sudden?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai with a confused expression.

For some reason, Dai Mubai hadn't stopped laughing since a moment ago. His eyes were even tearing up, but he still couldn't stop.

Hearing her question, Dai Mubai shook his head and smiled, his laughter subsiding slightly.

"I just remembered something really funny."

Of course, just the thought of Li Si staring at the sky, crying out "Lin Fan, you deserve to die!" in his grief was enough to keep him entertained for days.

Dai Mubai rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head affectionately. After calming down, he took her hand and led her toward the classroom.

Despite Flender, Liu Erlong, and the others heading off to the Star Dou Forest, the operation of Shrek Academy remained completely unaffected.

After all, Blue Tyrant Academy, its predecessor, had functioned perfectly well even without Liu Erlong in charge. The same was true for Flender and Zhao Wuji, who were relative newcomers.

As a high-level spirit master academy, Blue Tyrant Academy had a much simpler graduation requirement compared to Shrek's "wild" methods.

To graduate, students only needed to reach level 30 and acquire their third spirit ring. However, very few students chose to leave once they hit level 30.

Blue Tyrant Academy was a "civilian" academy. Even if its students reached level 30 and became Spirit Elders, where could they realistically go?

Most chose to remain in the academy, continuing their studies until they hit level 40, at which point they would typically stay on as instructors.

"Boss Dai! Zhuqing!"

Before Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing could even step into the classroom, Ma Hongjun's voice rang out behind them.

The two turned around to see Ma Hongjun running over excitedly, his face beaming.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly. What on earth has this guy so happy?

At the same time, he thought of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower still sitting in his "sachet."

Should I give it to this guy?

The truth was, Ma Hongjun didn't necessarily need the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. His "Evil Fire" was already immensely powerful, and once he reached the Spirit Emperor level, he could almost rival Extreme Flame.

After all, this had been proven by his descendant, Ma Xiaotao. If she could do it, there was no reason Ma Hongjun couldn't.

Refining his "Evil Fire" with the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower would bring him closer to a true Fire Phoenix, eliminating the negative effects of the Evil Fire.

However, unless he later found the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent's Inner Core to further evolve his martial spirit, it might not be worth it.

Forget it. I'll think about this later. With or without the herb, this guy's bad habits are already set.

Dai Mubai shook his head and thought to himself.

With or without the Evil Fire, Ma Hongjun will still be Ma Hongjun… and his strength will skyrocket if he learns to control it properly.

"Fatty, what's got you so happy?"

"Hehe, Boss Dai, I've got a girlfriend!"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head, his grin growing even wider.

Despite only being in Heaven Dou City for a few days, he had already managed to find himself a girlfriend—one who didn't require gold spirit coins…

Cough cough. Heaven Dou City wasn't like Soto City, a backwater place where things were cheap. Here, everything was outrageously expensive.

Finding a girlfriend so soon was nothing short of a stroke of luck!

Granted, she was only a spirit master in her teens…

Dai Mubai raised his eyebrows slightly, giving Ma Hongjun a puzzled look.

Honestly, Fatty isn't ugly—he just doesn't have the most obvious kind of good looks. It's not too surprising he found someone.

"Congratulations!"

After offering his congratulations to Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai turned his gaze toward Oscar, who was also grinning ear to ear.

"Oscar, what's got you so happy?"

"Boss Dai, I got myself a girlfriend too!"

Dai Mubai: "…"

Zhu Zhuqing: "…"

Glancing between Ma Hongjun and Oscar, Dai Mubai's eyelid twitched.

What is going on today? Did these two eat something strange?!

"Congratulations…"

Oscar was quite good-looking and, as a level-30 food-type spirit master, he was actually in high demand at Shrek Academy—previously Blue Tyrant Academy.

It had only been a few days since they'd arrived, and yet Oscar had already paired up with a senior sister in the academy.

This "senior sister" was an average-looking, average-built spirit master of the Assault System. However, she had a fiery, explosive personality and idolized Liu Erlong…

"Forget it. Let's skip class today. Zhuqing, let's go train."

Dai Mubai shot a glance at Ma Hongjun and Oscar before speaking. Without waiting for a reply, he turned and led Zhu Zhuqing away.

"What's up with Boss Dai?"

"No idea."

"Forget it—let's skip class too and go on a date!"

"Let's go!"

In the end, Tang San was the only one left, sitting all alone in the empty classroom.

Tang San: "…"

After discussing with Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

In the sect's grand hall, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin (Sword Douluo), and Gu Rong (Bone Douluo) all stared at Ning Rongrong with confusion.

Her sudden return to the sect was normally a cause for celebration, but for some reason, they all felt a sense of foreboding.

It was as though something important was about to leave them…

"Rongrong, is something the matter?"

Ning Fengzhi asked calmly.

Ning Rongrong had mysteriously summoned the three of them, so naturally, they were puzzled.

"Father, I've reached level 30!"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong exchanged looks of astonishment.

Shrek Academy really is something else!

In such a short time, Ning Rongrong had gone from level 26 to level 30.

What they didn't realize was that Ning Rongrong's true spirit power was far beyond level 30—it was only hidden because she hadn't yet obtained her third spirit ring.

"Excellent! Wonderful! Rongrong, you've done so well! Sword Grandpa will take you to get your spirit ring immediately!"

"Rubbish! I'll be the one to take her!"

"You?! You think you can beat me?"

"Wanna try me? I've mastered three of the Six Forms! …"

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his temples in frustration.

It's just a third spirit ring—at most, a thousand years old. Why are these two Super Douluo fighting over it?

Still, he found it odd that no one from Shrek Academy had taken Rongrong to obtain a spirit ring yet.

As he pondered this, he couldn't help but think of Dai Mubai.

That kid! Ning Fengzhi's face darkened as he recalled Dai Mubai tricking him.

Fine, it wasn't exactly a trick—the self-created spirit technique he provided wasn't fake… but it was also useless to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Several million gold coins and two spirit bones…

"Actually, there's something else. Look at this!"

As Ning Rongrong spoke, she released her Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong: "???"

"!!!"

"N-Nine floors?! How is this possible?"

"Rongrong, your martial spirit… it's…"

"This is Dai Mubai's betrothal gift!"

"…"
