Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, but possesses the power of the Rakshasa God.

Top-grade herbs, treasures second only to immortal herbs.

Similar to the ninth-grade Ganoderma lucidum consumed by the master ten thousand years ago, it is a top-grade herb that can strengthen the foundation, nourish the vital energy, and break through bottlenecks.

But what surprised Huo Yuhao was not only that the Zhu family possessed top-grade herbs, but also that they hadn't used them yet!

However, there's no harm in taking advantage of it. Huo Yuhao nodded slightly: "Sure, if you can bring it, then the powerful figure behind me will owe you a favor."

"Of course, it would be even better if we could have some cultivation resources with mental or ice attributes."

"Alright! It's settled then. I'll trouble you to introduce me to the powerful figure behind you." Zhu Lu immediately beamed with joy.

Huo Yuhao nodded, deciding to deal with it once the resources arrived.

As for the powerful figure behind it, won't he become powerful once he develops up?

But before Zhu Lu left, Huo Yuhao called her back and placed his hand on her head.

"Remove the soul tool that provides mental defense."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu bit her lip slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then took off the necklace from her chest.

Then, the instant the necklace left her body, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power instantly merged into her spiritual sea!

In an instant, a mark was formed!

"I've left a mark on your mental sea. If I discover that you've revealed my secrets, this mark will explode, destroying your mental sea! Then you'll become an idiot!"

Huo Yuhao threatened.

Of course, this was fake. His mental strength hadn't reached that level yet. He was just fooling Zhu Lu so that she wouldn't dare expose him.

Although the mark doesn't have the ability to explode, it can still serve as a reminder to Huo Yuhao that he can sense anything Zhu Lu says that concerns him.

This also allows for early preparation.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu's face turned pale and she trembled. This time, she was clearly not faking it.

She quickly composed herself and gave Huo Yuhao a forced smile: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. After all, I don't want to seduce Dai Yueheng."

After saying that, he left the coffee shop.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, pondering in his heart.

"As an ancient and prestigious family, the Zhu family hopes to contribute more resources to increase my cultivation speed."

"However, we can't just focus on the Zhu family; who knows what those nobles might do?"

"We still need to think of other ways to accelerate our cultivation."

With that in mind, Huo Yuhao finally focused his attention on a group of people.

Evil spirit masters, those evil spirit masters who do bad things.

"Killing them will increase your Rakshasa power. Increasing your Rakshasa power will unlock new Rakshasa skills. Once you unlock a new Rakshasa skill, you can absorb Brother Tianmeng's source power."

"Mental strength and Rakshasa divine power, both enhanced!"

"It can even enrich combat experience and improve strength to some extent!"

"Oh, right! We can also collect materials needed for necromancy!"

"It can also rid the people of harm!"

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up!

How can there be such an amazing treasure in this world!

It's so much!

With that in mind, Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to begin his journey of hunting evil soul masters.

His first thought was to look for bounties among several official bodies in mainland China.

All the major empires had bounties for evil soul masters, so Huo Yuhao asked his teacher for leave and tried to complete a few of the bounties.

However, several months have passed, and not a single bounty has been claimed!

Huo Yuhao emerged from the simulated training environment of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, his brows furrowed with distress.

In the past few months, he has spent almost all his time either hunting evil spirit masters or cultivating at Shrek Academy.

Each time they returned from a hunt, they accumulated a considerable amount of training time, which they could then use to cultivate in the simulated environment.

But what troubled him was the hunting of evil spirit masters.

The official bounties were all from a long time ago. Huo Yuhao looked for several bounties not far from Shrek Academy and found that either the perpetrators had been wiped out or the evil soul masters had escaped!

It was all outdated information, which made him make several wasted trips!

Just then, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao approached, clearly waiting for Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, Yuhao! Come quick! Teacher Wang Yan said there's a competition he wants us to participate in today!" Wang Dong called out to Huo Yuhao.

"A competition? What kind of competition?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking at Wang Dong in surprise.

"It's a selection competition held once every four years to select the top seven, but Teacher Wang Yan didn't say anything about it." Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao and explained to him carefully.

"Seven people, selection competition." These words combined in Huo Yuhao's mind, and considering the timing, he quickly guessed the academy's intention.

"You're choosing the Shrek Seven Devils, huh?" Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head. "You guys go ahead, I won't go, I have things to do."

He is definitely not suitable to be one of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't a Shrek Academy student; he only received the same treatment as a core disciple because he helped Ma Xiaotao clear away the evil fire.

He wasn't interested in helping Shrek Academy win any honors; improving his own strength was more important.

But when the Shrek Seven Devils were mentioned, Huo Yuhao immediately thought of them.

"Hey! Can I tag along on a Shrek Academy Inspection Team mission?"

"Because of Ma Xiaotao's connections, the higher-ups probably won't refuse."

"Hmm... I can ask Senior Ling Luochen for an introduction later."

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao waved to the two of them and prepared to go to the inner courtyard to find Ling Luochen.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance when they saw that Huo Yuhao seemed unwilling to participate.

"So, what do you think? Want to go?"

"Go ahead, it's an important competition. I heard from Yuhao that they're choosing the Shrek Seven Devils." Wang Dong's eyes lit up immediately, clearly attracted by the reputation of the Shrek Seven Devils.

The two then traveled together to the Soul Arena.

As for Huo Yuhao, he went to find the current Shrek Seven Devils!

"You said you want to join the Shrek Academy's inspection team?" Ling Luochen looked at the boy in front of him with some surprise.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded: "Didn't we participate before? I felt that cracking down on evil soul masters was a righteous thing, so I plan to participate again."

Ling Luochen didn't say much, but simply nodded: "Then I'll go ask the academy's higher-ups."

As he spoke, he began to inquire with the higher-ups at Shrek Academy.

Xuanzi is in charge of managing Shrek Academy's top management.

Upon hearing that Huo Yuhao wanted to join, he waved his hand and agreed without any surprise!

He even secretly chuckled to himself!

The person Yan Shaozhe spent so much money to hire back then, Xuanzi came over on his own without him having to lift a finger!

It's important to understand that Huo Yuhao's addition is not just about increasing the Shrek Academy's combat strength by one more person!

It's also a safety net for Ma Xiaotao!

"Hmm... There's a mission we have right now, so let's have this kid take Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen with him to carry it out."

Xuanzi looked at the mission scroll in his hand and nodded slightly.

On the scroll, there was a line of text.

"Level 60 Soul Emperor, Vampire Martial Soul, severely injured and on the run in the Star Dou Forest. A capture mission is underway!"

Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Great Forest, a golden-haired dog with three eyes slowly opened its eyes and looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression.

"It looks like something's coming."
