Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

"Well... okay."

Beibei lost all her strength and abilities. In the end, it was still the academy's fault. She had lost all face to stay here.

In the end, Beibei and Tangya left the room.

"Ugh."

Ning Zhiyuan sighed deeply and then leaned back in his chair.

"Father, what's wrong?" Ning Tian asked.

Huo Yuhao then looked puzzled.

"This is a huge loss. We can't get any benefit from this vegetable." Ning Zhiyuan looked at Ning Tian helplessly.

Shrek has been caught stealing technology before, so it's usually difficult to seek compensation from Shrek on that basis.

Because Shrek Academy's finances are managed by the Superior Martial Soul Department, but the ones who commit the theft are always the Shrek Soul Guidance Department.

Therefore, when it came to compensation, Shrek Academy's Martial Soul System blocked them, and the Soul Guidance System could only shrug and say that they had no way to help.

"Tsk, is there really no other way?" Ning Tian couldn't help but click his tongue after hearing Ning Zhiyuan's explanation.

"Shrek Academy has gone too far in bullying me time and time again," Huo Yuhao said angrily.

Ning Zhiyuan remained silent, his face terribly gloomy.

"After a while, not only the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but other well-known families in the Soul Master world will also come."

As soon as Ning Zhiyuan finished speaking, Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao noticed the special meaning in his words.

Besides the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Ning Zhiyuan invited high-ranking members of Soul Master families who had grudges against Shrek Academy.

There are stories of great-grandchildren being ruined and forced to drop out of school by Shrek Academy, sons getting into accidents during inspection missions, and the only male member of a family being captured by evil spirit masters...

Most of the people gathered had irreconcilable conflicts with Shrek Academy, and Ning Zhiyuan would try his best to reach some kind of consensus with them.

That is, to push Shrek down at the right time.

"Yuhao, He Caitou is about to wake up," Tianmeng Bingcan reminded him.

He Caitou opened his eyes in a daze, drooling, then a sharp pain in the back of his head sent him into a coma again.

Huo Yuhao swung the large iron rod and put it back into his soul tool.

In this situation, there's no need to waste mental energy; a direct, blunt strike is more effective than any other method.

"Then how should he solve this?" Ning Tian asked doubtfully.

"Since it's the Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance System, it must have a certain foundation, right?" Huo Yuhao pondered.

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head. "Although we are in dire need of talent in various soul tools, he is a spy."

Yes, a spy.

No matter what, it's difficult to handle. We'll have to spend extra money on his food and support him, and if we don't take good care of him, we'll suffer moral condemnation from Shrek.

Just then, Benjamin's "second personality" shared some trivia with Huo Yuhao.

"Sect Master, I have a plan. Since we've caught him red-handed as a spy, shouldn't we at least grant him rights other than the right to live?"

"You mean?"

-

"Yan Shaozhe! I need an explanation from you. Why are you turning a blind eye to our outstanding students?"

Qian Duoduo kicked open the door to Yan Shaozhe's office and saw Yan Shaozhe smiling at him.

This morning, with the return of Bei Bei and Tang Ya, Qian Duoduo learned that the prototype of his ultimate solo soldier had been detained by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The key point is that I didn't give He Caitou any task to steal secrets. At the very least, he shouldn't have done it himself.

Unlike other students, He Caitou can be considered the crown prince of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.

With him around, the Soul Guidance Department still has a future.

Now, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has seized the future.

"What's wrong, Lao Qian? You've forgotten your roots just because you haven't carried out any classified missions as the current dean? Do you even remember how your Soul Guidance Department got to where it is today?"

boom!

"Pah! It's because the old path was wrong that I want the Soul Guidance Department to get on the right track!"

"Hmph~ Our Vice Dean Qian Duoduo wants to learn well, so he's going to betray his master and go his own way."

"Hmph, Yan Shaozhe, I'm not going to waste any more time arguing with you! Do you even know what other identity He Caitou has besides being my prized student? See you at the Sea God Pavilion meeting!"

Qian Duoduo said nothing more and slammed the door as she left.

He knew his old rival's character all too well; if he brought up this topic in this informal setting, the guy would most likely brush it off.

An emergency meeting of the Sea God Pavilion was convened soon.

Apart from the passionate pronouncements of the elders in the Soul Guidance Department, the entire Martial Soul Department reacted indifferently, with some elders even complaining about why such a trivial matter warranted an emergency meeting.

It wasn't until Qian Duoduo revealed He Caitou's true identity that the elders of the Martial Soul Department took their breath away.

Then, under the extremely gloomy expression of Elder Mu in the main seat, the topic changed to how to maximize the Crown Prince's benefits.

The Soul Guidance Department was relegated to a corner, where they could only look pitifully at Elder Mu.

"Actually, there's one more thing," Elder Xuan said at this moment.

Everyone fell silent, looking at Elder Xuan with serious expressions.

Shrek is beyond saving.

Elder Mu foresaw this future: unless Shrek Academy remained invincible, this force that relied solely on might could not possibly survive.

The fact that the Soul Guidance Department's reasonable and well-founded requests were completely ignored, while people listened attentively as soon as Xuanzi, this drunkard, opened his mouth, reveals something about the situation.

Even if it's just one failure, just once.

That was enough to bring this arrogant and self-centered power to its downfall.

Yes, there is indeed hope of being brought back to life, but that is without any external intervention.

If Shrek falls, the various forces that have long harbored grudges against Shrek will surely hold him back and will not give him another chance to rise again.

"You all know about my experience bringing Momo back from the extinct volcano three days ago, right?"

The ultimate ice!

The word flashed through the minds of all the elders, and greed gleamed in their eyes.

Everyone has seen Elder Xuan's mission report.

During the mission, Elder Xuan was attacked by a group of evil soul masters at the Title Douluo level, and he risked his life to let Ma Xiaotao escape first.

Just as Ma Xiaotao risked her life to absorb the soul ring in an attempt to turn back and help Elder Xuan, the evil fire erupted.

When Elder Xuan found her, she had already been rescued by a mysterious master of ultimate ice magic, who suppressed the evil fire within her.

"What a good kid! He stands up for what's right when he sees injustice. He should be a member of Shrek Academy." Yan Shaozhe sighed, looking up.

All the other elders nodded in agreement with Yan Shaozhe's idea, and even the Soul Guidance Department was no exception.

They knew all too well what a Soul Master with the ultimate attribute meant to a faction—it meant being invincible for over three hundred years.

It's a pity that the child seems to be a woman, otherwise she and Ma Xiaotao would be a perfect match.

"Alright, I hereby announce the official establishment of the Ultimate Ice Search Team!" Xuanzi announced excitedly.

Everyone's face was beaming with joy, and the atmosphere in the Sea God Pavilion was just like that of Chinese New Year, except for a small group of soul guidance instructors who seemed out of place.

"Master Xuan, about Cai Tou..." Qian Duoduo stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"Duoduo, you need to learn to look forward," Xuanzi said earnestly, putting a hand on Qian Duoduo's shoulder.

"The academy's top priority right now is to find that academy student who has been separated from his family. Compared to that, the exiled crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire is not important."

"It's not important...?"
