The east gate of Shrek City.
A group of people flew in from the horizon. They seemed to have planned ahead, directly entering the city from the sky. Fortunately, it was during class time, so there weren't many people outside the city gates. Otherwise, they would have certainly attracted a lot of attention.
At the back gate of Shrek Academy, two figures stood together, conversing.
"A second Martial Soul mutation?" Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow, pondering. "So that's why Yuhao didn't come with you to get a Soul Ring?"
"Yes." Lan Mei nodded, concerned. "Xiaotao, I hope that after Yuhao enters Shrek Academy, you'll help him. The most important thing for us Soul Masters is our Martial Soul. I'm worried that the anomaly with his Martial Soul is really due to the second mutation. If something unexpected happens, he'll be ruined for life."
Ma Xiaotao thought for several seconds, finally agreeing, "Alright, after he enters the academy, I'll find an opportunity to take him for a Martial Soul test. Speaking of which, his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is also quite special. If it's truly a second mutation, and it's a positive one, then he could be cultivated with a focus on his future."
"Thank you." Lan Mei expressed her gratitude.
A smile appeared on Ma Xiaotao's pretty face. "No need to thank me. Anyone who works hard deserves my help. If Yuhao hadn't cultivated diligently, perhaps I wouldn't be taking care of him like this. Fortunately, I'm helping the right person."
The two girls exchanged a smile, and Lan Mei left.
Ma Xiaotao turned away from Lan Mei's departing figure and quietly walked back the way she had come. As she walked, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by helplessness. Recently, during her cultivation, she could feel the evil fire within her body starting to erupt again.
Each time she consumed an ice-attribute treasure to resist the evil fire, she had to stop cultivating for a period of time. If it weren't for this restriction, how wonderful it would be.
Ancestors, where exactly is the immortal herb you ate?
Gradually, she arrived at Shrek Square. At this time, the outer court students were still in class, and it was quiet outside.
Looking into the distance, beside a long bridge corridor, a tall statue stood there.
It was Phoenix Douluo, Ma Hongjun, from ten thousand years ago.
Ma Xiaotao's expression became somewhat complicated.
...
Lan Mei returned from the Star Dou Great Forest after five days.
Her fourth Soul Ring came from a plant-type Soul Beast called Ice Fruit, with a lifespan of four thousand five hundred years.
According to Aunt Lan, their Lan family finally had a Soul Ancestor. To celebrate, Aunt Lan prepared a feast and invited friends and family.
Huo Yuhao was naturally happy for Lan Mei.
The roasting house was bustling. Aunt Lan's friends and family were all there, enjoying the food and chatting.
They occasionally asked Lan Mei when she would find a boyfriend.
As the main focus of the day, Lan Mei could only smile and appease them.
Huo Yuhao was chuckling to himself on the side, but Lan Mei shot him a look of disapproval.
When the banquet ended, and Huo Yuhao was preparing to resume his cultivation, Lan Mei came to find him.
"The roasting stall won't be opening."
Huo Yuhao was puzzled. "Why?"
Lan Mei shrugged. "My mom said so. Actually, she'd been planning to close it down for a while."
Huo Yuhao fell silent.
Lan Mei suddenly smiled. "Little Yuhao, there's less than eight months until the next school year starts at Shrek Academy, you know."
Huo Yuhao looked at Lan Mei's face and immediately understood. He nodded solemnly, "I understand."
Lan Mei nodded gently and closed the door.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and thought, Eight months, let's go for it then.
Just as Huo Yuhao had this thought, a wisp of light also brushed past him.
Huo Yuhao's body trembled, as if sensing something, and slowly relaxed.
Time passed, and several months went by.
Twenty days ago, Shrek Academy officially began its annual one-month vacation, and only ten days remained until the start of the new school year.
"Yuhao, there are only ten days until school starts, and you still haven't gone to obtain your first..."
The voice stopped abruptly as the door opened.
Looking at the empty bedroom, Lan Mei was stunned for a moment. She quickly stepped forward and saw a note left on the table.
She opened it and read the words written on it:
"Sister Lan Mei, I need to go out for a while to see three old acquaintances. Don't worry, it's nothing serious, and there's nothing wrong with my Martial Soul. I'll be back in a few days, then I'll go get my first Soul Ring. This is very important to me; trust me, I won't do anything reckless. - Huo Yuhao"
"This guy!" Lan Mei glared, angrily slapping the note on the table. But after a while, Lan Mei calmed down, murmuring, "Isn't this kid an orphan? Where did he get these old acquaintances? Humph, I'll ask him about it when he gets back."
After almost a year of being together, Lan Mei knew that Huo Yuhao wasn't a reckless person, so she wasn't too worried about his situation.
At the same time, outside the south gate of Shrek City.
The sun had already risen from the horizon, bringing soft light to illuminate the path ahead.
Huo Yuhao looked at the giant sign bearing the words 'Shrek City'. After taking a deep breath, he resolutely walked towards the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Rubbing his temples, he murmured inwardly, "Can you really help me find it accurately?"
No one answered Huo Yuhao's question, and he continued walking forward.
In less than eight months, he had cultivated relentlessly. His soul power had also increased significantly. However, because he hadn't obtained his first Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao didn't know exactly what level he had reached.
But judging by his own estimation, breaking through level fifteen was definitely not a problem. The biggest gain was the improvement in his physical strength, allowing him to withstand Soul Rings of higher ages.
During this time, with the help of Sunlight Blueberries from Lan Mei, he had successfully raised his talent to the third level, but it couldn't be improved further.
The effect of Sunlight Blueberries on him was already minimal, but what surprised Huo Yuhao was that he seemed capable of absorbing sunlight or moonlight without them, although the effect wasn't very pronounced.
And at dawn today, a faint, ethereal thought guided him. Huo Yuhao knew it was time to set off.
According to the map, he would need approximately two days to reach the side entrance of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"It's time to see an old friend."
While Huo Yuhao was hurrying towards his destination, two figures, a man and a woman, emerged from the east gate of Shrek City. The man was handsome, and the woman was charming.
They chatted and laughed, strolling leisurely towards the Star Dou Great Forest. However, they didn't take the main path, instead choosing the same route as Huo Yuhao, entering from the side.
Shrek Academy had strict regulations: Soul Masters below the Soul King level were strictly forbidden from entering the Star Dou Great Forest directly. Anyone caught violating this rule would be barred from entering Shrek City.
This rule was mainly to prevent low-level Soul Masters from encountering thousands-of-years-old Soul Beasts as soon as they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, potentially leading to their deaths.
Looking down from the sky, three figures were walking, one in front and two behind.
The wheel of history began to turn at this moment.
