The soul cleansing fruit was something Ye Yin had won in a lottery, and he had accumulated a few of them over the past three months.
Soul Cleansing Fruit: When consumed, this fruit purifies and refines a Spirit, enhancing its strength, aptitude, and growth potential.
While a marrow cleansing fruit removes impurities from the body, the soul cleansing fruit removes impurities from the Spirit. Ning Rongrong stared at the fruit in her hand, swallowing hard, a powerful desire urging her to eat it. She suppressed the urge and asked, "Yin Ge, what is this thing?"
"It's a soul cleansing fruit," Ye Yin replied. "It can cleanse the impurities from your Spirit and enhance its quality."
"Such a miraculous item exists!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.
She took the soul cleansing fruit and ate it in just a few bites. Ning Rongrong didn't even have to actively summon her Spirit; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spontaneously emerged from her body, quietly floating beside her. A seven-colored treasure light permeated the air, and within the diffused light, the base of another pagoda layer gradually appeared.
In that moment, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda successfully advanced to the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Eight layers!" Ning Rongrong cried out. "How is this possible! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda actually has an eighth layer! How can this be!"
Her body trembled with excitement. "Yin Ge," she said, "the effect of what you gave me is too good. In the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this is the first time it has reached eight layers. I have to tell my father about this. This time, my father won't be able to stop us. Your kindness to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is immeasurable."
Ye Yin smiled slightly. "You're my woman," he said. "I would never treat you poorly. Get some good rest."
As Ye Yin walked away, Ning Rongrong looked at his retreating figure and murmured, "I must go home!"
Just as Ye Yin left the dormitory, preparing to eat, he saw a disheveled, pig-faced person approaching from the other side.
"Fatty," he said, "are you, this Evil Fire Chicken, turning into an Evil Fire Pig now?"
[Resentment from Ma Hongjun +26!]
Ma Hongjun looked at Ye Yin and suddenly shouted, "Yin Ge, I've never asked you for anything before, but this time, you absolutely must help me!"
The sound sent a chill down Ye Yin's spine. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Don't scare me. Just stay away from me for a bit."
Ma Hongjun then recounted what had just happened. "I went to the brothel and finally found a very beautiful girl. Just as I was about to have a good time, that perverted old man insisted on taking her from me. Then, I got angry and fought him. I thought I was a Spirit Master, fearless of anyone! But I didn't expect that guy was also a Spirit Ancestor! In the end, I got a beating. Yin Ge, you have to help me get revenge!"
Ye Yin immediately understood. It was about Bule and his two brothers. "Don't worry. If you encounter such things in the future, just find me. I'll help you get even. I'm an upright person, and I love nothing more than fighting for justice."
More accurately, he loved to earn other people's resentment.
"Let's go eat first!"
While eating in the cafeteria, the two also ran into Tang San, Oscar, and Dai Mubai. After hearing about Ma Hongjun's predicament, the three immediately decided to help him get revenge. After three months, they were no longer just unfamiliar classmates, as there were only eight students in the entire academy. The five of them quickly headed toward Soto City.
About half an hour later, they arrived.
"Fatty, is this where you usually solve your Evil Fire problem?" Dai Mubai's brows furrowed.
Before them was a row of single-story houses in a secluded corner of Soto City. The houses were only a little over three meters tall, and many parts looked damaged. At the entrance hung a few pink lanterns, beneath which stood several heavily made-up, clearly older women, hawking their services to passersby.
Ma Hongjun chuckled. "It's cheap! Cheap is all that matters. Two for a full belly, and with the lights off, aren't they all the same? Besides, you don't understand. The older they are, the better they are in bed. You guys wait here, I'll go see if the person who hit me is still inside."
With that, Ma Hongjun quickly walked into the shabby establishment. A moment later, he excitedly walked out. "He'll be out soon. You all listen to me."
…
"That's him!" Ma Hongjun suddenly shouted excitedly.
Ye Yin patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder. "Little Fatty, you go ahead. I'll provide support from the shadows. If you win, it proves I'm strong. If you lose, it proves you're trash."
[Resentment from Ma Hongjun +30!]
Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes at Ye Yin. Two spirit rings rose from his feet, and the Evil Fire Phoenix possessed him as he swiftly charged toward Bule.
"It's you!" Bule was startled when he saw Ma Hongjun. "Little bird," he exclaimed. "I didn't expect you'd dare to come back!"
Bule shouted, and four spirit rings—two yellow and two purple—rose from his feet. A milk-colored spirit cover was placed over his head. He looked as perverted as could be.
"Little Ao, you're still a far cry from him in terms of perversion," Ye Yin suddenly said to Oscar.
[Resentment from Oscar +10!]
Ye Yin stood in the shadows, and two black and two white lights flew out, landing on Bule and Ma Hongjun respectively.
This was his Third Spirit Ability, Organ Blessing and Organ Curse.
For Bule, Ye Yin targeted his hands and ears. He cursed his hands to grow barbs (Level 3) for 100 minutes and his ears to experience extreme itchiness (Level 5) for 100 minutes. For Ma Hongjun, Ye Yin blessed his eyes with Electrifying Gaze (Level 8) for 20 minutes and his legs with Rabbit's Speed (Level 10) for 80 minutes.
As the four lights fell, Bule immediately felt an extreme itch in his ears and desperately wanted to scratch them. He raised his arm, inserted his pinky finger into his ear, and scratched a couple of times. It didn't improve, and when he pulled his finger out, the barbs on his hand caused a sharp pain that made his body tremble violently.
"Why did barbs suddenly grow?!" he thought. "It hurts so much!"
Both issues were minor, but they could significantly impact his combat, reducing his fighting power from another angle. However, Ma Hongjun's two Organ Blessing abilities were a genuine increase in combat power. A layer of yellow electric light shot out from his eyes, and crackling currents on the ground emitted a burnt smell.
"Yin Ge, this feels so good!"
"Electrifying Gaze!"
The fever, body aches, and the fact that a miserable person lay for a day.
