Douluo Continent: I'm writing a diary, and something's not right with you guys.

Honestly, compared to Xuanzi, Tang San actually looks quite handsome.

That's normal, though. Tang San is just bad, not stupid.

Everything he does is for his own scheme and for his own benefit. No matter how disgusting it is, it has a clear purpose.

But Xuanzi is different; he does bad things without any malice, and this kind of person deserves to die the most.

It's not the bad people that are scary, it's the stupid ones. Good intentions gone wrong are more disgusting than pure malice.

Gu Yuena sneered from the bottom of the lake, her beautiful eyes full of contempt. A level 98 human powerhouse couldn't stop a Soul King from self-destructing?

Either they deliberately let it slide, or they're just incredibly stupid.

The so-called top academy on the mainland is nothing but a joke that hides filth and corruption.

Speaking of stupid and bad people, we have to mention Zhou Yi, the teacher of Class 1 of freshmen.

Relying on her husband Fan Yu's influence in the academy, she expelled all the students in her class who were not talented, leaving only the talented ones.

As a result, her college entrance rate and class performance were the best every year, and she also earned a good reputation for strict teaching and being good at cultivating geniuses.

To put it bluntly, isn't he just a scumbag who cheats and shirks others' careers to boost his own political achievements?

Xiao Xiao froze completely. She had been assigned to Class 1 of the freshmen, and her homeroom teacher was Zhou Yi.

She had previously heard that Teacher Zhou was the best homeroom teacher among the freshmen, with the highest college entrance rate and the best at cultivating students, and she was glad that she was lucky.

It turns out that the so-called high college entrance rate was actually achieved by expelling underachieving students.

With her talent not being top-tier, would she be kicked out as soon as school started? Xiao Xiao's face instantly turned pale, her heart filled with panic.

Ma Xiaotao frowned. She never expected that Zhou Yi would do something that violated the college rules, using the elimination of students to boost her political achievements. It was simply despicable and shameless.

However, in reality, Zhou Yi and Xuan Zi are just the tip of the iceberg of Shrek Academy's decline.

The entire Shrek Academy is rotten to the core.

They claim to be dedicated to capturing and killing evil soul masters and maintaining peace on the Douluo Continent, but what's the result? Both of the Holy Spirit Cult's two Holy Maidens came from Shrek Academy.

One is Ma Xiaotao, a genius from Shrek Academy and the personal disciple of the dean of the Martial Soul Department; the other is Tang Ya, the sect leader of Tang Sect and a graduate of Shrek Academy.

These two later became evil spirit masters, harming more people than all the legitimate evil spirit masters combined.

The moment those words were written, Ma Xiaotao jumped up from her chair in the dormitory of Shrek Academy.

The evil fire within him surged uncontrollably, and the blazing phoenix flames instantly engulfed the entire room, distorting the air itself.

"Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult? Me?"

Her eyes were filled with raging fury, and her teeth were grinding together.

Although her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is inherently evil, she has always tried her best to suppress it and has never done anything immoral. She also deeply hates evil soul masters.

Now, people are even predicting that she will become a saintess of the Holy Spirit Church in the future?

"Hmph, Lin Ye, is that right? You just wait!"

She made up her mind that when this guy named Lin Ye came to Shrek Academy, she would definitely question him about why he slandered her like that, and she would definitely teach him a lesson he would never forget!

But the instant that thought arose, an indescribable, supremely terrifying pressure descended upon her.

That power was more terrifying than any strong person she had ever seen. Even the Sea God Pavilion Master and Elder Xuan were like dust in front of it.

She felt as if she had been thrown into an endless abyss of darkness, surrounded by forces that could tear her apart, as if she would be completely crushed at any moment.

The extreme fear instantly extinguished all her anger. She trembled violently as she remembered one of the rules of the diary copy: the owner of the diary must not be harmed in any way.

She used all her strength to completely erase all thoughts of malice, questioning, and revenge towards Lin Ye from her mind.

Strangely enough, the moment she completely eliminated all malice, the oppressive aura of impending death vanished without a trace.

"thump!"

Ma Xiaotao collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted, panting heavily. Cold sweat streamed down her face, and her clothes were completely soaked through.

She was trembling like someone who had just been pulled back from the brink of drowning, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

She stood up shakily, leaning against the wall. Her legs were still weak, and her previous anger had vanished, leaving only a deep sense of fear.

Chapter 19 Today's Reward Recipient: Ma Xiaotao

Meanwhile, in Shrek City, Tang Ya was having dinner with Bei Bei.

While munching on ribs, Tang Ya was engrossed in reading the diary. When she saw that Shrek Academy was such a place, she was somewhat surprised and incredulous, but she didn't react too strongly.

After all, she was the head of the Tang Sect, and coming to Shrek Academy was just for studying. To her, Shrek Academy was really just a place to study, and she didn't feel any sense of belonging. So she was enjoying watching the drama unfold.

Upon seeing the following content, the rib in her mouth fell directly into the bowl, and she froze completely.

???

How did this melon end up in my own head?

Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Maiden? Evil Soul Master? Her?

Tang Ya's brows furrowed instantly. In the past, she would have slammed her hand on the table and yelled that the diary was full of nonsense.

She's the leader of the Tang Sect, how could she possibly become an evil spirit master?

But after being exposed to the power of her diary entries several times before, she had learned her lesson.

When you encounter something so outrageous, don't rush to refute it. First, think carefully about whether this is even possible.

She knew her own martial soul all too well. Her Blue Silver Grass had mutated to have a devouring attribute, allowing her to devour the flesh and essence of others to improve her cultivation. This was undoubtedly the behavior of an evil soul master.

So, is there a high probability that she will go down this path in the future?

But she didn't want to.

Her greatest wish in this life is to revitalize the Tang Clan and restore its former glory.

If she becomes a universally reviled evil spirit master, how can the Tang Sect be revitalized? How can she face the ancestors of the Tang Sect?

What exactly happened in the future? What did she go through to abandon everything she held dear, join the Holy Spirit Cult, and become that so-called saintess?

Tang Ya's face turned pale and then red, her hand gripping the chopsticks tightly. She didn't even hear Bei Bei speaking to her, her mind filled with that sentence in the diary and her possible future fate.

……

Lin Ye continued to rant, filling several more pages before stopping. It was all about various scandals involving Shrek Academy, but compared to other things, they weren't too serious.

I stretched and felt I'd written enough. Today's diary entry was a good five or six pages long, definitely enough.

The moment the diary stopped updating, countless thoughts across the mainland tensed up simultaneously.

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena, with her silver hair and purple eyes, slowly opened her eyes. Beside her, the three-eyed golden lion with golden fur perked up its ears, its round eyes full of curiosity, staring intently at the golden diary in its mind.

Inside Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao sat cross-legged on the bed, her palms covered in cold sweat.

The evil fire within her body showed signs of surging again, and every breath was accompanied by a burning pain. However, at this moment, all her attention was focused on the diary in her mind, and she even temporarily put aside the suppression of the evil fire.

Wang Dong'er sat on the bed, her long, light blue hair falling over her shoulders, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She unconsciously twisted the bedsheet with her fingertips, feeling both expectant and a little disappointed. It seemed that she wasn't mentioned much in her diary today.

Xiao Xiao and Tang Ya, who were eating in the dormitory, held their breath at the same time, waiting for the final summary of the diary.

They all knew the rules of this diary: the day the diary stopped being updated was the day the rewards were settled.

The person mentioned most often in the diary will receive a reward from the diary, and they have already witnessed the incredible nature of that reward more than once.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the cover of the golden diary that had been floating in everyone's minds suddenly lit up, and a line of striking golden text appeared one by one:

[The person mentioned most frequently in today's diary: Ma Xiaotao.]

In an instant, reactions varied from place to place.

Gu Yuena raised a slight brow with her purple eyes, showing no surprise.

Wang Dong'er pouted slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

Today's diary entries mostly revolve around Shrek Academy. As the signature figure of Shrek's inner court, Ma Xiaotao is mentioned repeatedly, which is perfectly normal.

Inside the courtyard, Ma Xiaotao froze on the spot the moment she saw those words.

She even suspected that she might be hallucinating due to the backlash from the evil fire.

Is it her? Is it really her?

The next second, an indescribable ecstasy swept over her entire body, causing her to tremble slightly.

She didn't seek any heaven-defying soul bones or invincible cultivation techniques; her only wish was to get rid of the evil fire within her body that was like a maggot clinging to her bones!

That thing had tormented her for too many years, and even Elder Mu was helpless. He could only help her suppress it temporarily. If she was not careful, it would backfire on her, and she might even fall into evil ways.

Just as her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, the handwriting in the diary changed again, and the details of today's reward were slowly revealed to everyone:

[Today's Rewards: All Soul Rings' age increased by 1000 years, Martial Soul flaws completely repaired, Soul Power level increased by one level.]

Upon seeing the words "Martial Soul Defects Completely Repaired," Ma Xiaotao's tears instantly fell.

She had waited for this day for far too long.
