Chapter 3: Ch.: 3. Joining Shrek, Ma Hongjun and Oscar, Six years later
Fleder saw that boy has already ran far away.
He possessed his martial soul and flew up in the air, nearing Man An like a bullet.
Man An who has already climbed up the 10 storey building, looked back and his heart started to beat violently.
Flender landed in front of Man An and turned back to his human form.
"Hey boy, looks like you're quite talented, if you join my Shrek Academy, I may forgive you for smashing glasses of my shop." Flender said, he was amazed by the boy in front of him, this boy's martial soul gave him strength of grand spirit master at start and his body has quite strength.
He can analyse that this martial soul of boy is unique but a top notch one, there is never a Martial Soul which increases strength of its host before having soul rings.
He wanted to take advice from his friend Yu Xiaogang but they are not in contact for several years.
So he decided to enroll this boy in his academy as a student, what a clever idea I have.
Flender smirked to himself.
Man An became silent after hearing this proposal or threat.
He wanted to have Eight Spider Lances of Tang San but he doesn't have strength to roam alone in Star Dou Jungle, even if he have strength he doesn't know whether he can find it.
"Okay I will join your academy." Man An nodded, he didn't know whether Flender knows about his soul power, which is level zero, but he will not mention it.
Flender was happy and flew away after telling the address of academy and asked him to come tomorrow.
Flender has only checked bone strength of Man An not his soul power, if he knows later that he is fooled what will happen.
...
Next day.
Man An arrived at academy, as for his job, he has already taken a leave for few days.
After looking at dilapidated building in front of him and a old crude Shrek Academy name board he passed through the gate.
After roaming in the area for a while, he met few middle aged men.
"Hey are you that boy, who was mentioned by Flender last night." A heavy bear like man asked Man An.
To which Man An nodded in agreement.
"Okay, he said you have quite a strength, let's have a fight." Bear man said.
Other men standing near said nothing just looked at Man An with curiosity.
Man An has no choice so he nodded.
They walked a few meters far and came in open area.
"Don't worry boy, I will not use my soul rings or soul power." Bear man said.
Man An was possessed by Venom.
"What a martial soul, like a beast, scary enough to put mental pressure on opponent." One of the middle aged men commented amazed.
Man An after possessed by Venom, his height increased to two meters, his body became muscular and black skin, two big white eyes, sharp teeth with wide mouth and a big tongue waving here and there, restlessly.
Man An crouched a bit and shot toward bear man jumping with full force.
When he was a few inchs away from bear man he waved his hand which were like sharp claws at head of bear man.
His ferocity increases after being possessed by Venom, but he knew that his strength is nothing in front of this bear man.
Before his claw touched bear man, a punch came straight from beneath and hit his chest, Man An was shot up few meters and fell far away on the ground from bear man.
"Whoa teacher who is this? He is fighting with old Zao, but he is not his match." Two boy who came running and looked at Man An and Zao Wou Ki fighting, after seeing Man An being punched away like a ragdoll, they asked old men near them.
Man An who heard contempt aiming at him, turned his face and looked at two children of his age.
When two children found being stared by Venom, they were scared silly and peed in their pants.
"Okay, now you can be student of our academy." Zao Wou Ki said, with a smile on his face looking at two scared children.
Man An recalled Venom and turned back into his human form.
...
Six years later.
Man An was fighting in Soul Arena against a Grand Spirit Master with Martial Soul of Dagger with shadow attributes.
(Fight scene starts)
(Whenever MC is in Venom form, he will be called Venom, if not Man An)
Venom was looking at his opponent who was also looking at him, ready to attack anytime.
Man An occasionally came to Soul Arena to earn money whenever he is in need, he resigned from herbal shop four years ago.
His body is strengthened to peak of Spirirt Expert, because he once found a 500 year old Whale Rubber, but after this his luck has been used, he never again heard of Whale Rubber.
(Cultivation level picture)
Suddenly Dagger guy used his first soul ring after shouting the name of 1st soul ring and leaped toward him flickering in shadow from time to time.
Venom's eyes were squeezed and he jumped to side and turned to throw his tendrils and bind the Dagger guy.
Dagger guy seeing tendrils binding him, quickly used his second soul ring to sharpen his dagger martial soul and cut it in two parts freeing himself.
Man An stepped forward using force from his legs to ground increasing his speed and waved dhis claws on chest of dagger guy.
Ok the way he also picked up the squirming venom piece on ground, which was cut earlier by dagger guy.
Dagger guy used his third soul ring and fired energy slashes by waving his dagger.
Venom fired his tendrils from right hand to grasp the ground a few meters far away and jumped to his right side dodging the attack.
After dodging the attack, he fired his tendrils on dagger guy's legs before he landed on ground.
Dagger guy's legs were grasped by tendrils, before he can think he was pulled by Venom his head colliding with ground hardly, giving him a concussion.
Before his mind became clear, Venom hold the legs of dagger guy with his right hand which was big enough to hold two legs at once and started smashing dagger guy here and there. (Hulk to Loki)
"Silver medalist, Venom wins!" Refree announced the results.
Venom turned walked out of the arena and stepped toward exit.
After he came out he unpossessed Venom.
After walking for quite a far from Soul Arena, Ma Hongjun and Oscar came from behind and joined him.
"Hahaha, big brother An, you smashed that guy like a ragdoll, which was very cool and look we won 1000 gold coins by betting on you, but what a pity many people also bet on you, if not we would have won about 10000 gold coins." Ma Hongjun said cheerfully and sighed with sadness on his face.
Man An just patted on his shoulder.
"Oscar how's our Chocolate business is going on?" Man An turned his face and asked Oscar who was walking on his left with happy face, thinking about something.
"Brother An, although not many people are buying Chocolates, because they are not familiar with this desert product and they also avoids it because of it dark appearance, but people who have once tried it, are coming back to buy it, we just need time to expand our business." Oscar reported the situation.
"Good and did you two tell about chocolate to anyone else." Man An asked again.
"No brother An, we didn't, only after you give us permission than we will tell others in college." Ma Hongjun and Oscar school their heads and replied.
"Okay and avoid the area where Flender's shop is, we will tell others after we have at least minimum income of 5000 gold coins per month, okay and don't forgot to make more chocolates after going back and buy ice to freeze them." Man An said.
Village chief died five years ago because of his illness, Man An was very sad, he wanted to find healing soul masters and he found one, but they can't cure his illness and medicine in this world is not advanced enough to cure his illness.
So after village chief died and burning his body and flowing his ashes in river, he never returned to his village.
Because only village chief in whole village took care of him, as for those children who he played usually works in Suotuo City and they always meets on way.
He made his image in mind of Ma Hongjun and Oscar high in first two years and they became his followers.
At first they were bit rebellious, but he took approach of first beating them, than taking care of them.
They gradually did what he said.
He didn't forced them to do anything wrong, just let them practice daily to increase their physical strength.
Today Oscar his muscular man and although Ma Hongjun is fat but his fat body hides his strengthened muscles, there is no fat in his body only muscles.
At first he thought that he can't cure Ma Hongjun's fatness but he can shape his body, so he did many different types of practice and yoga to transform Ma Hongjun in Kingpin of Douluo Dalu and his results have started to give fruits, his body is turning into full of musclar fat muscle man.
At first Ma Hongjun's defective chicken-phoenix martial soul was making him lustful.
So he tried to find many ways, first let him stay in extremely cold water and masturba*e in it, but idea was not useful.
So he tried the approach to extract the fire energy from his martial soul and inject them into soul stones.
No one in college can do it, so we travelled to Blazing Academy and with reputation of Flender, we found a way to extract Fire Energy.
Although the payment was very heavy, Flender emptied his pockets.
But it also helped us.
Everyone in academy learned the method and started to extract Fire energy from Ma Hongjun every week.
Man An after learning the method was surprised that this method although difficult to think was easy.
The method was to put hands on the martial soul of opponent and use your own soul power to slowly extract the fire energy flowing like a berserk beast.
At first everyone can only burn their hands while extracting fire energy, but Man An suggested to inject the fire energy extracted in soul stones.
At first Flender was cautious because soul stones were expensive, but after persuasion of everyone, he bought few ones.
At first they were cracked but in last we succedded.
Everyone was happy, because they now don't have to hurt themselves while healing Ma Hongjun.
But Man An soon found that fire energy was leaking slowly.
He thought of putting it in storage device.
So Flender took out a storage device of one meter cubic space.
The leaked fire energy was stored in storage device and started to pile up and was compressed slowly.
But they found a good thing that, whoever wore the storage device will be benefitted by it, if they are also fire attribute soul master, their fire control will slowly increase and soul power cultivation progress will increase slowly.
Thinking of this, Flender found a few trustworthy friends of his and started the business of selling these fire enchanted storage devices.
As for Dai Mubai, Man An has no good impression, because Dai Mubai was arrogant and never took anyone in his eyes and looked at everyone like they were ants and specially Man An, after joining academy in few weeks everyone found that Man An awakened innate soul power zero, but they didn't excluded him, Man An was relieved and have gratitude towards everyone.
But Dai Mubai was unhappy that a useless guy was student of academy and othe students of academy like Oscar and Ma Hongjun didn't followed him, even after he showed his talents.
He goes to hotels everyday with different girls and abandons them.
No one was against him, if he was going to hotel with girls, but abandoning them after a few weeks of love was unacceptable.
Flender didn't said anything as long as academy is not harmed, he will not say anything, he wants to make his academy rise and resound in this continent, everyone has their selfishness.
Man An felt bad for Zhi Zhiqing, a lovely girl who is cold on outside but warm on inside, she took danger and escaped here to Suotuo City to find Dai Mubai.
And according to time Tang San will also come to academy this year.
His chance of getting Eight Spider Lances is nearing, he also has to prevent Tang San to attracts Dugu Bo's attention by defeating poison of Dugu Yan.
Unknowingly they reached their academy where many students with their parents lining up.
Man An also persuaded Flender to not cheat money of those students who failed to gain admission in Shrek Academy.
Flender was resistant to this and said this matter doesn't concern to him, so Man An said he will pay the money those parents gave and their children didn't got admission.
To this condition Flender agreed.
