Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Chapter 73: Starting with Shrek's Defection! (Long Chapter! Bonus! Please Subscribe!!)

"Die with your confusion."

"monster"

The black-robed Soul King stared blankly as an extremely cold and sinister soul force instantly entered his consciousness, and everything around him disappeared.

In his eyes, there was only the strange fluctuation emanating from those scarlet pupils.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? What are you standing there for? Get out of the way!"

The second brother, who was watching from the sidelines, shouted anxiously, but unfortunately, the black-robed Soul King could no longer hear him.

"puff!"

Without any obstruction, as if slicing through tofu, the man in black robes maintained the same blank expression throughout, seemingly understanding the feeling of death in a daze.

Han Yu glanced briefly at the severed head, her expression calm.

"My first time killing someone, and surprisingly, I didn't feel any discomfort. Am I a cold-blooded person?"

Han Yu shook his head. Although he had never killed a person, he had killed quite a few soul beasts over the years and had seen a lot of blood.

Whether it belongs to a soul beast or to oneself

"Well then, it's your turn next."

His scarlet eyes turned to look at the somewhat dumbfounded second brother, whose chilling aura made him involuntarily take a slight step back.

"How is this possible? You're just a Grand Soul Master, how could you possibly kill a Soul King? This can't be true, this can't be true!"

As he spoke, he turned and ran away amidst Han Yu's somewhat astonished gaze.

"Third brother, run! The eldest brother is dead!"

"puff!"

The second son's body stiffened, his head flying off in an instant, his eyes filled with disbelief, before he fell to the ground, his blood seeping into the earth.

"Eldest brother, second brother"

The third brother in black robes, who was chasing Yuan Gungun, suddenly trembled and then turned around to try to escape.

"puff!"

Han Yu took out a clean rag, stained it with blood, and slowly said:

"Go on, get out of here. Someone will have to pay the price for this."

Upon returning to the academy, Han Yu did not immediately seek revenge on Dai Huabin.

This is Shrek Academy. If he were to kill a student here, his fate would be uncertain.

However, if he accidentally kills Dai Huabin during the match, then it's none of his business.

In a somewhat secluded room in Shrek City.

Dai Huabin's face was gloomy, and Zhu Lu beside him also looked terrible. The assassination attempt, which was originally a sure thing, had failed.

"Hua Bin, what do we do next? If the academy finds out, we're in trouble..."

Zhu Lu's voice sounded somewhat worried.

Dai Huabin frowned, then exhaled, a smile returning to his face. He sneered, "What are you afraid of? This is Shrek Academy. Even if they knew, what could they do to me? I am the son of the White Tiger Duke."

"Moreover, Shrek Academy wouldn't risk making an enemy of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for a mere student."

Zhu Lu hesitated, not because she was afraid Shrek would do anything to them, but because she felt that Dai Huabin's status in the White Tiger Duke's mansion was probably not as high as he had imagined. If the White Tiger Duke was investigated by Shrek, perhaps...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In this quiet freshman assessment, the competition quickly came to an end.

With Han Yu and Yuan Gun Gun defeating these so-called geniuses, the finals finally arrived.

"Is Dai Huabin ready?"

Han Yu gently stroked his katana, then tucked it behind his back and slowly rose to head towards the assessment area.

Assessment area.

The weather was unusually gloomy today, with a light drizzle falling.

The Shrek Academy freshman assessment finals attracted considerable attention.

Even the dean of the Martial Soul Department and the dean of the Soul Guidance Department have arrived.

Looking at Yan Shaozhe speaking eloquently on the high platform, Han Yu revealed a cold smile.

After today, Shrek Academy will only be a part of his memories.

At this moment, the referee had already entered the assessment area, raising his hands slightly to signal the students on both sides to enter.

Han Yu and Yuan Gungun entered the stage amidst the cold rain, and Dai Huabin and the others also walked onto the stage.

Both sides waited quietly for the referee to announce the start of the match.

The referee said in a deep voice, "In order to allow you to unleash your full potential, you don't need to hold back during the competition. I will control the pace of the competition. Any student I save will be considered eliminated. Understand?"

"clear."

Han Yu nodded. Since the referee had said so, he would have to go all out from now on.

After all, he had long been unable to suppress his murderous intent.

"GunGun, you hold those two off, I'll finish this in a second."

Han Yu looked at Yuan Gun Gun, who had a somewhat angry expression, and said in a low voice.

"Understood, boss. We must teach them a lesson. Damn it, they actually resorted to a sneak attack."

Yuan Gungun spat, clearly understanding who had given the order that day after Han Yu's explanation.

"Both parties share the same name!"

"Cold rain".

"Yuan Gungun".

On Dai Huabin's side, both he and Zhu Lu looked rather grim.

"Dai Huabin".

"Zhu Lu".

"Cui Yajie".

The referee stretched his arms out to the sides and said, "Everyone, move to the edge of the field. You may begin your attack only after I announce the start."

The teachers watching the game held their breath, their eyes fixed on the competition field.

Yan Shaozhe smiled; he had long anticipated that Han Yu would make it to the finals.

"Old Yan, who do you think will win the final championship?"

Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, pushed up his glasses and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say, let's just watch the game."

Yan Shaozhe smiled without saying a word. At this moment, the Martial Soul Department was about to welcome a genius, and he was in a very good mood.

"Tch, fine, don't talk then. You're always like this, it makes me want to punch you."

Qian Duoduo pursed her lips, then looked towards the competition venue.

"The match begins!"

The words had barely left his mouth when everyone was preparing to possess their martial spirits.

Zizizi!

A sound like the chirping of a thousand birds resounded throughout the arena. Lightning covered his entire body, and Han Yu's legs were slightly bent as a rich, azure light ripped through the ground in his hand.

brush!

He charged towards Dai Huabin like an arrow released from a bow.

The azure light was more intense than ever before, and as he ran, it carved a deep trench in the ground.

"Dai Huabin, today you will pay the price!"

Han Yu sneered inwardly, and with lightning speed, she crossed half of the playing field in an instant, closing in on Dai Huabin.

"So fast!"

Alarm bells rang in Dai Huabin's mind, and his martial spirit hurriedly possessed him, instantly extending a pair of sharp tiger claws from his palms.

"White Tiger Protective Shield, White Tiger Vajra Transformation"

"I'll make you change, go to hell!"

After a few more breaths, Han Yu was instantly in front of Dai Huabin. He subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look into Han Yu's eyes.

Spectator stands.

"This is!"

"Oh no! Help!"

Yan Shaozhe suddenly stood up, watching as the azure light was about to pierce Dai Huabin's chest.

"Pfft!"

"Stop!" With a flash, he appeared next to Han Yu and Dai Huabin, staring blankly at the blood-stained hand.

Yan Shaozhe's face immediately turned extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a mouthful of excrement, and an impulse to slap Han Yu to death surged in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he kept reassuring himself that Dai Huabin was still alive and there was still hope.

Han Yu's lips curled up slightly: "It seems we're late, Dean Yan."

The next moment, the blood-stained right hand suddenly stretched back and forth, piercing Dai Huabin through, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his chest.

"you"

A look of disbelief flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes. He raised his right hand, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the loss of blood rendered him speechless.

Then everything went black, and he lost consciousness.

"Han Yu, you..."

Yan Shaozhe roared angrily, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You stabbed me, fine, but what's with the repeated stabbing? You almost gave me a heart attack."

"Hua Bin!"

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone came to their senses, Han Yu had already taken out a clean rag and was wiping the blood off her hands.

With a full burst of power, he instantly killed Dai Huabin. Combined with the extremely strong penetrating power of the Thousand Birds, even Dai Huabin, with his defense maxed out, couldn't withstand it. If he was stabbed, he would at least be seriously injured.

Looking at Dai Huabin, whose chest had a large hole, Han Yu nodded slightly. The matter was over, and she decided to let it go.

Whether Dai Huabin can survive depends on Shrek Academy.

"Student Hanyu, you went a bit too far."

Yan Shaozhe waved his hand, and a teacher quickly carried Dai Huabin away, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

Then he turned around, looked at Han Yu who had a calm expression, and said in a somewhat annoyed tone.

Han Yu raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "The referee just said that in order for us to unleash our full potential, we don't need to hold back. It's not my fault. If anyone's to blame, it's Dai Huabin for perhaps being careless."

Yan Shaozhe's face instantly turned even uglier. He wanted to retort, but he didn't know how to say it.

They had no choice but to swallow their pride and bear it.

Anyway, Dai Huabin isn't dead yet; the academy will just have to pay a price.

Thinking of this, perhaps it was the self-comfort in my heart that worked, and a smile actually reappeared on my face, although it was a bit ugly.

Han Yu is right. In order to allow them to unleash their full potential, they don't need to hold back; that's the academy's rule.

He was just following the academy's rules. If anyone should be blamed, is being strong a mistake?

Yan Shaozhe still has some sense of shame; he wouldn't stoop to such a shameless act.

Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at the proctor who was sweating profusely beside him.

Han Yu was a person he both liked and hated.

She admired his exceptional talent, which allowed him to instantly outmaneuver Dai Huabin, but was also angry that he acted without thinking and deliberately caused trouble for her.

He's gotten himself into such a mess. Shrek Academy may be a large and powerful institution, but it's really not worth offending a top-tier family for no reason.

Thinking about this, he was in a real bind. If Dai Huabin's injuries were serious, an ordinary Soul Master would probably die on the spot. Fortunately, he had a strong physique, which is why he was still alive.

With Shrek Academy involved, the treatment shouldn't be difficult, but it will likely take a long time unless some secret treasures are used.

"Dean Yan, the competition isn't over yet."

Seeing Yan Shaozhe standing there in a daze, Han Yu kindly reminded him.

Yan Shaozhe's lips twitched slightly. Was there even a need to fight? Not only was the opponent's strongest member severely injured, but more importantly, his Martial Soul Fusion Skill was gone.

It wasn't that he looked down on Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie; it was just that Han Yu was too strong.

Seeing that the two opponents had no intention of surrendering, he spoke up: "Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie, do you still want to continue the match?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie looked at the still surging blue light of the Cold Rain in their hands, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.

This is absolutely unstoppable. If the cold rain pierces the body, it will probably create a huge hole, and then two more people will likely bleed.

They quickly shook their heads: "We admit defeat!"

Yan Shaozhe nodded and announced, "Then the freshman assessment is over. I declare the champion to be the Hanyu team. The award ceremony will be held tomorrow."

"How is this possible? The battle ended so quickly."

The homeroom teacher of Class 5 was shocked. Dai Huabin and his classmates were his trump cards, as they possessed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Netherworld White Tiger".

To his surprise, the opponent didn't even give Dai Huabin and his team a chance to use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and won the match directly.

Mu Jin smiled broadly, her eyes fixed on the young man on the competition stage, her heart filled with pride.

Han Yu is her student, and she will be proud of him.

"Elder Xuan, what do you think? Is this student Han Yu worth the academy's full support?"

In a corner of the stands, Wang Yan spoke respectfully to the disheveled old man.

"Not bad, not bad. His combat awareness, speed, and attack power are all perfect. Then let's include him in the next Shrek Seven Devils."

Old Master Xuan took a bite of chicken and said with a smile.

As the competition ended, the two deans slowly departed, leaving behind a group of teachers who were still discussing the matter, clearly not yet recovered from the competition.

Han Yu had already hurriedly returned to her dormitory.

because

His first mission is complete! Not counting the one with Tianmeng.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed your mission, won the freshman assessment, and received a purple-level treasure chest!"

"Option 1: One 100,000-year spirit ring, unconditionally absorbed; the spirit skill gained depends on the martial spirit!"

"Option 2: One 100,000-year-old soul bone, random quality, random part, random soul skill."

"Option 3: Sealing Technique, Eight Trigrams Sealing Modification."

Upon seeing the three options before her, Han Yu's breathing instantly became rapid.

He ignored the rewards and immediately focused his attention on the 100,000-year-old soul bone and soul ring.

"I didn't expect to get a 100,000-year soul bone and soul ring from a purple-level treasure chest. Even though it's random, it's still very tempting."

"If I could absorb a 100,000-year-old soul bone at this moment, my physique, soul power, and cultivation speed would surely increase dramatically!"

"A 100,000-year spirit ring is not bad. If the third spirit ring is 100,000 years, the attribute increase it can provide must be terrifying."

After some deliberation...

"System! I choose option two: wait!"

Han Yu's heart skipped a beat. The third option was actually a sealing technique, which he knew about.

It is a powerful sealing technique that can seal tailed beasts, and then seal the tailed beasts onto one's own body, making their power work for oneself.

But there are no tailed beasts in Douluo Continent, so where am I supposed to seal this thing?

"System, what does this Bagua seal modification mean?"

"Ding! System improvements have been made to suit Douluo Continent. Would you like to view specific functions?"

Han Yu's lips twitched slightly. She hadn't expected it to have specific functions. She had almost overlooked it after only writing a few words.

"View specific features!"

"Ding! The Eight Trigrams Seal has been modified: It can seal up to nine soul beasts over 100,000 years old into the spiritual sea, while simultaneously acquiring soul rings and borrowing the power of the soul beasts. Each soul beast occupies one soul ring slot."

"After being sealed, the main body will transform into a soul power state and enter the host's sea of ​​consciousness without disappearing. After the seal is broken, it will return to its full state, but it will lose a certain amount of the host's life force. It must be used if the soul beast does not resist."

"Sealed soul beasts cannot be sensed by heavenly tribulations and can cultivate normally. The use of a soul beast's power depends on the level of trust between the two parties and the host's ability to withstand it."

"Currently, you have one available spirit ring, which can be used to seal one spirit beast. The number of spirit beasts can increase as the host's strength increases, up to a maximum of nine! Each spirit beast will place a huge burden on the host, so please use them with caution."

Han Yu was dumbfounded after reading the long introduction. This was just a Jinchūriki!

The Douluo Continent version, and

Upon seeing the sealing technique before him, Han Yu suddenly had an immature idea.

If his idea could be realized, he might become a god without needing a divine position, and his power would far surpass that of any god-king.

The prerequisite is that he can awaken the legendary Rinnegan and obtain the power of a sage.

At present, it seems too far away; we haven't even scratched the surface of the kaleidoscope yet.

Moreover, activating the Kaleidoscope right now isn't necessarily a good thing. While the eye technique is powerful, its side effects are truly enormous.

Using it too much can cause blindness. As far as he knows, the longest a kaleidoscope owner has ever used it is fifteen years, while the shortest was only fifteen days for the owner, Haruyuki.

He doesn't have any brothers to replace his eyes.

Han Yu shook her head, dispelling the random thoughts in her mind. Now was the time to make a choice.

For the sake of his great dream, he decided to choose option three.

This was carefully considered; a 100,000-year-old soul bone is extremely rare, and even a Supreme Elder might not have many.

Of course, this doesn't mean Shrek Academy lacks the ability to acquire them. If they wanted to, they could simply go to the Star Dou Great Forest and kill them.

However, Shrek Academy's reputation was too heavy, making them unable to do such a thing.

However, the Body Sect is different; they have absolutely no scruples in this regard.

Choosing the Bagua seal will play an important role in future development.

For ordinary people, sealing a 100,000-year-old soul beast is very difficult and the conditions are very harsh; it must be done when the beast has no ability to resist.

In other words, it can only be successful if the other party is willing.

However, soul beasts that can cultivate for 100,000 years all have their own pride, so how could they so easily submit to humans?

However, things were much simpler for Han Yu.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze northward.

"System, I choose option three!"

"Ding! Host has chosen the Eight Trigrams Seal; reward has been issued."

A flood of information rushed into Han Yu's mind, causing him to sway slightly.

"This is the Eight Trigrams Seal? It's incredibly powerful!"

Han Yu gently exhaled, trying to calm her increasingly uncontrollable emotions.

"Ding! Next mission activated: Defeat the Shrek Team! Reward: Purple Treasure Chest! You can choose to accept or decline!"

"accept!"

There's no need to even think about it, of course I'd accept it, not just for the purple treasure chest, but also because of what I've been through lately.

The reward from the first purple treasure chest was excellent, and Han Yu was slightly looking forward to what she would get next, but that would take some time.

Thinking of this, Han Yu packed her bags, a cold smile appearing on her lips.

Goodbye, Shrek!

------

Shrek Awards Ceremony!

The weather was beautiful this morning; the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless.

All the new students who passed the assessment gathered at Shrek Square to await the upcoming class assignments and rewards!

The Dean of Students, Du Weilun, appeared before the students with a smile, holding a folder in his hand.

"Now I announce that a number of students who performed exceptionally well in this freshman assessment will be specially approved to become core disciples of the Foreign Affairs Academy. The list is now being announced."

At this moment, the entire Shrek Square was completely silent, clearly showing how highly Shrek Academy valued its core disciples.

Huo Yuhao and the other two also looked on expectantly. Although they didn't know why they hadn't seen Han Yu, it was obviously not their concern at the moment.

"Based on the freshmen's performance in the assessment, the core disciples who have been approved by the academy are: Han Yu, Yuan Gungun, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who were in the audience, became visibly excited when they heard their names called.

As Du Weilun continued reading the names one by one, all the names were finally announced.

Huo Yuhao's eyes glazed over. He had still held onto a sliver of hope, but now it felt as if something had been emptied from his heart, and his face turned deathly pale.

From the day he entered Shrek Academy, he put in all his efforts, running hard every day, cultivating while others rested, and cultivating while others were lazy.

He believed that he could become stronger through hard work, and the increase in his soul power over the past few months was proof of that.

No one else's soul power increased as quickly as his.

Just as he was lost in thought, Wang Dong grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm. Now he didn't know what to do either.

Du Weilun continued, "Given that some freshmen, despite lacking talent and ability, have shown outstanding performance in the freshman assessment, the academy has decided to allow them to temporarily enjoy the treatment of core disciples until the end of this academic year."

Those who make significant progress in next year's promotion exam will be considered for promotion to formal core disciples. The list is as follows: Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, and Nanmen Yun'er. That concludes the announcement.

Huo Yuhao's eyes became even more vacant, and his gaze became somewhat empty.

Even the treatment of a temporary core disciple is not given. Huo Yuhao could no longer suppress his resentment. What have all my efforts over the years amounted to?

"Why, why... why? I've worked so hard, yet I'm not among the core disciples. Are you all blind?"

At first, she murmured softly, but as she spoke, she felt increasingly wronged and eventually couldn't help but shout.

"Yuhao, class monitor!"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were shocked and quickly covered his mouth.

But at this moment, Huo Yuhao's voice had clearly been heard, and many students were looking at him as if he were a clown.

"A mere one-ring Soul Master wants to become a core disciple? What am I supposed to do with my two-ring cultivation?"

"Exactly, they don't even know their own strength. If it weren't for their strong teammates, they would have been eliminated in the first round."

The students were constantly talking amongst themselves, perhaps out of jealousy that Huo Yuhao had won so easily and made it to the top 32, or perhaps for some other reason.

Hearing the whispers around him, Huo Yuhao felt his inner darkness grow even more intense.

"If you want to become stronger, come find me. Shrek Academy can't help you at all."

A figure flashed through his mind; perhaps he wasn't wrong, was this how Shrek treated him?

Du Weilun's expression was not good at the moment he was on the awards stage. Anyone would be upset if they were criticized like that by a student.

A teacher whispered a few words in his ear, and a look of realization flashed across Du Weilun's eyes.

"Given that Huo Yuhao performed quite well in the competition, he can temporarily enjoy the status of a core disciple of the outer academy."

Wow!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

They didn't expect that Huo Yuhao would actually be approved by the academy as a core disciple of the outer academy, even if it was only temporary, it was still enough to make people jealous.

However, Huo Yuhao's expression did not improve as a result.

At this moment, he felt a deep sense of desolation. Was this pity for me, like pity for a dog?

If it weren't for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill I shared with Wang Dong, I probably wouldn't even have gotten this pitiful opportunity.

He's right, he's right. I didn't get any good training at Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy has no shortage of students like me.

But who can I blame? I can only blame my own lack of strength. A hint of self-mockery appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips, but when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of coldness.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who were standing to the side, shuddered and looked at Huo Yuhao with some worry.

"Yuhao, are you alright?" Wang Dong asked in a low voice.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and said, "I'm fine. Not only am I fine, I'm perfectly healthy."

As he uttered those words, the voice flashed through his mind again, and he scanned his surroundings, but the figure he was expecting did not appear.

"Now I announce that the third place winner of this competition is Huang Chutian's team, whose members are Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo. Please step forward."

A tall male student stepped forward, his face full of helplessness.

"Huang Chutian, where are your teammates?"

Du Weilun asked curiously.

"I don't know either. Maybe something happened that delayed them. They told me they had something to do and would be coming later."

Huang Chutian looked bewildered. He was supposed to arrive late, but the awards ceremony had already started and he was still nowhere to be seen.

"Nonsense, how can you be late for such a serious occasion?"

Du Weilun snorted coldly, then announced again, "Second place, Dai Huabin's team, team members are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie. Step forward."

Two figures quickly stepped forward. Seeing that there was another person missing, Du Weilun's face darkened, and he could only continue reading.

"First place, Han Yu's team, team members are Han Yu and Yuan Gun Gun. Step forward."

"Cold rain, Yuan Gungun. Step forward."

Seemingly realizing they hadn't heard him clearly, Du Weilun shouted again.

The square was quiet for a moment, but no one came out.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Where are they?"

Du Weilun finally couldn't hold back any longer, slammed his hand on the table, and roared angrily.

"Teacher Mu, where are the students in your class?"

Du Weilun looked at Mu Jin, whose face was pale, and said angrily.

Mu Jin's face was grim. She walked to Du Weilun's side and whispered, "They left a note and then left Shrek Academy."

After she finished speaking, her hand trembled slightly as she handed over the note.

Du Weilun took the document and glanced at its contents. He couldn't help but roar, "I'm furious! How dare they leave the academy without permission! They have no respect for anyone!"

"The awards ceremony can be held for now; you may all leave."

After saying that, he left a group of bewildered students behind and walked away.

"What happened? Han Yu and the others didn't really leave Shrek Academy, did they?"

The students below the stage were discussing among themselves, clearly not understanding Han Yu's actions.

Huo Yuhao, who had been observing the situation with a cold eye, revealed a sneer before ignoring Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao and returning to his dormitory alone.

"Brother Tianmeng, do you think there's any point in me staying at Shrek Academy?" Huo Yuhao was overwhelmed with sorrow.

"Yuhao, don't care about the opinions of those mortals. Your talent is beyond their comprehension. Once you reach level twenty, that will be your time to soar."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said smugly, "It doesn't matter to me where Huo Yuhao cultivates, as long as he reaches level 20."

"I hope it's as you say." Huo Yuhao nodded silently, then sat cross-legged and began cultivating again.

Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Poseidon Lake, the island in the middle of the lake, the lakeside.

"What? How is this possible? I clearly told him that I would cancel his major demerit once he passed the assessment. How could he... how could he leave Shrek Academy?"

"I even gave him a soul bone that lasted for 50,000 years. How could he do such a thing? He's treating me like a fool and making fun of me. It's despicable, utterly despicable. I really misjudged him. A young man can't even endure this little hardship. It's clear he's narrow-minded and incapable of achieving great things."

Yan Shaozhe held a piece of paper, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he kept cursing, clearly very angry.

Du Weilun, standing to the side, disagreed. He had long felt that Yan Shaozhe's actions were inappropriate, and now look what happened. The man took the soul bone and left without a trace, leaving Yan Shaozhe with nothing.

Looking at Yan Shaozhe, who was furiously impotent, he found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't show a smile on his face. As the dean of students, he was well-trained in this regard.

"Forget it, it's not your fault. That kid is short-sighted, thinking he can become stronger just by leaving Shrek Academy. I want to see what he'll become in the future. His martial soul is rather strange."

Ultimately, we are just an academy; we can't force people to stay.

Suddenly, a disheveled old man appeared, holding a chicken leg and a wine jug.

"Elder Xuan! What brings you here?"

Yan Shaozhe said respectfully, and Du Weilun, who was standing to the side, also bowed.

"Look what you've done! You've ruined the next Shrek Seven Devils candidate. Your trick of using sticks and sweet words is too clumsy."

Elder Xuan swallowed a mouthful of chicken and said irritably.

"I... I didn't expect this either. Look at what he wrote!"

Yan Shaozhe handed the note to Elder Xuan. Elder Xuan picked it up and read it, immediately raising his eyebrows in anger and turning red in the face. It read:

"Shrek Academy is nothing but a bunch of skeletons in a tomb, all talk and no action. A bunch of geniuses who have been wasted on others, yet they are still complacent. Han Yu of the Body Sect takes his leave."

"The Body Sect has gone too far. Old monster, this matter is not over."

Elder Xuan's face was so dark it seemed like it was about to drip water. He slammed his hand on the table, and the note in his hand instantly turned to dust.

"well"

A helpless sigh echoed from the depths of the Sea God Pavilion.

------

Whoosh!

Rapid breathing could be heard as several figures broke the tranquility of the forest.

"Boss, are we just going to leave without saying goodbye? It's one thing for the others, but Ning Tian, ​​aren't you going to say anything?"

Yuan Gungun stopped and looked at Han Yu, who had a calm expression on her face.

These were the two sisters, Han Yu, Yuan Gun Gun, Lan Su Su, and Lan Luo Luo, who had slipped out of Shrek City after school in the afternoon.

Shrek Academy isn't actually very strict; there aren't any rules prohibiting students from leaving the academy.

In addition, Han Yu used her second soul skill, Mimicry, to cast an illusion on the three of them, which was impossible for ordinary people to detect.

Although mimicry has little offensive power, it is highly practical, and Han Yu directly concealed the bodies of the group.

They left Shrek City easily, and several days have passed since then. They are now on their way to the Body Sect.

"Everyone's tired, let's rest here!"

Han Yu took out his water bag and immediately gulped down a large mouthful; he had been exhausted these past few days.

Before leaving Shrek Academy, the two sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, came to visit. After Han Yu's persuasive explanation, the two sisters chose to follow Han Yu to the Body Sect.

"Boss, I wonder what Shrek Academy's reaction is now. So many days have passed, surely no one will catch up now."

Yuan Gungun took a deep breath, his face full of smiles, clearly finding the operation very exciting.

"Yes, Hanyu, don't try to fool us sisters. We've put all our hopes on you."

Lan Luoluo's face was also flushed. The journey over the past few days had clearly been too tiring for the two sisters, who were still Great Soul Masters.

Han Yu smiled slightly and waved her hand: "Don't worry, once you get to the Body Sect, you'll know that what I said is true. Only in the Body Sect can you receive better training."

Han Yu naturally knew what the two sisters were worried about. It was simply that if they left Shrek Academy now and followed him to the Body Sect, they would not receive good treatment. Obviously, it would be better to stay at Shrek Academy.

This is a huge gamble. If you win, you'll take off; if you lose, you'll just have to join any academy you can find. You'll definitely never get into Shrek Academy.

But since they chose him, he certainly wouldn't let them down; he would definitely fulfill his promises.

Looking up at the sky, it was already getting dark, making it less suitable for traveling. However, they were not far from the Body Sect, so there was no need to rush.

"Let's rest here for the night and set off again tomorrow morning. We're not far from the Body Sect now."

Han Yu said to the group.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the weather was fine. The dew had just evaporated, and the whole forest was filled with a fresh air that was invigorating.

"The Body Sect is located at the Tianqian Pass in the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire. We have already reached the foot of the mountain."

Han Yu looked at the endless mountain range in the distance, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.

Six years ago, I also went up there. Although I was the young sect master of the Body Sect, I didn't actually stay in the sect for very long.

"Let's go. I've already sent a message to the sect. Someone should come to pick us up when we reach the foot of the mountain."

"We're about to meet the Body Sect, one of the three major powers. I'm really looking forward to it!"

The eyes of the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, were full of longing, clearly indicating that they had a good understanding of the reputation of the Body Sect.

------

at the same time.

The Body Sect, located deep within the Heavenly Soul Empire, is renowned for its long history and solemn traditions.

The buildings surrounding the sect hall and plaza all feature a unique bronze-colored decor, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

At this moment, on the square, the young disciples were practicing various combat skills with complete concentration. Sometimes they leaped high into the air, and sometimes they sped like the wind. Each of them exuded youthful energy and a desire for power.

Looking at the disciples training in front of him, Lang Ya's eyes flashed with satisfaction. These were the future of the sect.

"Gu Tong, I've already told you, you need to concentrate and pay more attention to your teammates. Also, as a control-type Soul Master, why are you positioned so far forward?"

The boy called Gu Tong twitched at the corner of his mouth, but his expression remained unchanged, clearly already used to it.

"Yes, yes, Elder Langya, I know I was wrong."

"Haha, you always say that, but you never change."

A boy with unusually large hands said jokingly to Gu Tong.

"Wang Yanfeng, how dare you say that? You're a power attacker, why do you always hide behind me?"

Gu Tong rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Alright, you two, the eldest brother and the second brother, are all the same. I really don't know what makes you so qualified to be ranked alongside me as elite disciples of the Body Sect."

"Chen Lu! Aren't you the same? It's an honor for you to be ranked among our elite disciples."

"I"

The boy named Chen Lu was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Lang Ya who was standing to the side.

"Alright, you little rascals, can't you give us a break? All you do is argue all day long."

Lang Ya felt a black line appear on his forehead. The members of the Body Sect usually had a very good relationship, but it was too good that caused these teenagers to often cause trouble.

They start arguing at the slightest disagreement, and if that's all, they'll just let it go. But the argument quickly escalates into a physical fight.

If it's not stopped, Langya believes a battle will definitely break out soon.

"Elder Langya, the sect leader needs to speak with you."

Just then, a deep male voice rang out.

"Aotian, you've arrived."

"Then you keep an eye on these little brats for me, I'll be right back."

"Elder Langya, rest assured, leave it to me."

Long Aotian clasped his hands in a slight bow.

Watching Lang Ya turn and leave, Long Aotian seemed to have something on his mind. The Body Sect was about to become quite lively.

The main hall of the sect.

Poison Undying sat in the main seat with an imposing air, and to his left sat a golden-bodied Douluo dressed in black.

Six years have passed, but time seems to have not aged them; in fact, their aura seems to have become even stronger.

"Old Jin, I received a message from Han Yu; he will be arriving at the Body Sect soon."
