Taking a sip of the fragrant tea placed on my seat, and watching this year's freshman assessment competition, my thoughts drifted back to the years I spent as the dean of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy, thanks to the familiar sights and sounds.

However, this echo, accompanied by a referee on a certain arena shouting out the name of Huo Yuhao's team, caused those thoughts, which were originally quite distant, to drift back to a few days ago, and to the excited Fan Yu.

"An exceptionally unique first soul skill and an extraordinary intuition for researching soul guidance systems?"

"The core disciple slots for the Soul Guidance Department haven't been given out for a long time!"

He sighed inwardly, recalling the fact that even though Shrek Academy was really making great efforts to develop soul tools, it was still lagging behind the martial soul system.

That admiring gaze also attracted the attention of another Shrek Academy executive sitting next to him, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department!

Their previously wandering gazes were drawn to Qian Duoduo's eyes and silently focused on Huo Yuhao's team. A moment later, their gazes were fixed on Wang Dong, who was relentlessly attacking the other three Soul Masters.

"The Goddess of Light Butterfly? I never imagined that such a rare and supreme martial soul would appear in this world again! I wonder what its talent is like? Can it inherit my mantle?"

Yan Shaozhe, whose martial soul is the top-tier Radiant Phoenix, was unable to accept Ma Xiaotao as his personal disciple due to the time change. However, after seeing Wang Dong's incredibly beautiful Radiant Goddess Butterfly, who also possesses the flying attribute and the ultimate light attribute martial soul, he secretly began to have designs on her.

As for Xiao Xiao, who is on the same team in the same arena, she is very skilled in defense and offense, and her use of martial soul is both powerful and agile. And Huo Yuhao, who seems to have no use and only knows how to threaten others with his soul guide ray gun.

Sorry, two ordinary people cannot, and are not worthy of, attracting his attention. This contrasts sharply with Qian Duoduo's attitude, which has completely focused its attention on Huo Yuhao.

After all, Shrek Academy has no shortage of genius soul masters, only a lack of true monsters in their understanding.

——————

The essence of the Goddess of Light Butterfly as a top-tier martial soul is fully revealed in battles of the same level.

Despite being a seemingly delicate species like a butterfly, when combined with speed and strength that can overwhelm its peers, it displays an extraordinary and terrifying explosive power.

With the addition of two super-limit spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, in an era where the average two rings took a hundred years, Wang Dong was able to suppress most of his peers from the start. If he hadn't met Huo Yuhao and Tang San, who was a father who would ruin his daughter's life, it's possible that Wang Dong would have been able to continue winning and develop an invincible aura like Tang Chen.

Aside from Wang Dong's outstanding performance, which was obvious to anyone with eyes, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao, who were like mere accessories, also demonstrated their strength and incredible teamwork in their first collaboration.

The weaknesses and inconsistencies in the coordination of the other squad were as obvious as bacteria under a microscope in Huo Yuhao's observation and analysis. Under the switching control of Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute, the enemy fell to Wang Dong's Butterfly Wing Guillotine in just a few breaths.

The battle, which lasted almost an instant, forced all the actors and actresses, who were right next to the masterpiece, to cheer and applaud in admiration of their strength.

Stand in the ring and receive cheers; step down from the ring and share the joy.

Standing on the stands, I watched the other freshmen's matches for a while, and then realized that there weren't many interesting things to see. In addition, I saw something I didn't want to see, which offended my eyes.

Knowing somewhat that he was about to lose control of his emotions, Huo Yuhao hurriedly bid farewell to Xiao Xiao, who was still enthusiastically watching various battles and gathering intelligence, and Wang Dong, who was somewhat distracted, and headed directly towards the Sea God Lake of Shrek Academy.

I hope that the clear spring water of Poseidon Lake can calm my extremely restless heart.

However, perhaps this fate, forged by human hands, truly seemed to be chosen by heaven. Despite Huo Yuhao's forceful control of his emotions through his mental power, Wang Dong still sensed something amiss.

After Huo Yuhao left the assessment area, she quickly realized what was happening. After saying goodbye to Xiao Xiao, she hurriedly followed Huo Yuhao's retreating figure.

———————

"Dai Hao! Duke Baihu! Duchess! Duke Baihu's Mansion! Dai Huabin! Ah!!!"

The physical strength and spiritual power, along with the master's inner rage, were unleashed, punching and slamming out continuously, smashing countless tiny ice crystals into the calm and undisturbed Sea God Lake.

The short blue hair was stained with water from its owner's previous actions, and was covered with a layer of frost due to its original soul power attribute.

His azure pupils were no longer as bright and pure as before, but were tinged with a fury and madness that he had been desperately suppressing, but now seemed to have reached the limit.

"Yuhao..."

A familiar voice approached from afar. Looking at the pink-and-blue-haired boy walking towards him with a worried expression, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt utterly exhausted.

After kneeling down, Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong, who had unknowingly entered his heart, with a self-deprecating and weary expression. For some reason, he suddenly had the urge to confide in him.

"Wang Dong, do you know? Actually, according to the tradition of the Soul Master world, I should be called Dai Yuhao... Haha... Hahaha..."

"Twelve years ago, Duke Baihu raped my mother! In the end, he didn't even deserve the title of a concubine! But my mother still foolishly believed that he loved us, Dai Hao? Dai Yuhao?"

"My mother was killed by the Duchess of White Tiger, and now I..."

A familiar, faint fragrance suddenly approached, and Huo Yuhao, somewhat stunned, was pulled into Wang Dong's arms.

"I don't know if it's right to tell you this, but... your life shouldn't be bound by this so-called hatred. You can be angry, and you should be angry! You can take revenge, and you should take revenge! But not now!"

"Keep striving! When you become a Limit Douluo, no one in the entire world will be able to stop you! Not the White Tiger Dai family, nor the Netherworld Zhu family, nor even the entire Star Luo!"

"Get some sleep! Actually, you should have taken a nap a long time ago. You've been pushing yourself too hard since the start of the semester!"

The gentle words, coupled with the rhythmic, caress-like pats on his back, finally made the exhausted Huo Yuhao let go of everything, lean against Wang Dong's chest, and slowly fall asleep.

As Huo Yuhao fell asleep, Wang Dong, who had only intended to comfort his friend before returning him to his dormitory, also felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him. His eyelids grew heavy, and with a hint of confusion, he closed his beautiful pink-blue eyes.

Then, the Spirit Eye Martial Soul and the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul also appeared under the stimulation of a divine power. Then, under the control of the divine power hidden in Wang Dong's body, they began to attract and merge with each other.
