Although they did not know why Zhou Yi had kept Wang Dong'er and the other two behind, the other students did not pay much attention to it and left in twos and threes.

Once only Zhou Yi, Wang Dong'er, and the other two remained in the classroom, Zhou Yi took out a white porcelain bottle, a blue porcelain bottle, and a leather pouch.

"The white bottle contains Soul Ascension Pills, three in total. The blue bottle contains a Mysterious Water Pill, only one. This leather pouch contains a fifty-thousand-year head soul bone. The academy does not know which soul beast produced it."

Wang Dong'er took the two porcelain bottles and the leather pouch, unable to stop herself from complaining, "They said fifty thousand years or more, and they gave exactly fifty thousand years. So stingy."

Zhou Yi: "..."

She decided not to speak. In any case, this time it was not aimed at her.

Soul bones were already extremely precious once they surpassed ten thousand years.

After all, aside from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, not every soul beast was guaranteed to drop a soul bone. The drop rate was extremely low, and getting even a ten-thousand-year soul bone was considered good.

Rather, Shrek Academy being willing to hand over a fifty-thousand-year soul bone was already like cutting off a piece of its own flesh.

Seeing Wang Dong'er put away the porcelain bottles and leather pouch, Zhou Yi did not want to remain here for another moment. She turned and left.

Wang Dong'er ignored her. Turning around, she opened the small white porcelain bottle and poured out the three Soul Ascension Pills one by one.

The Soul Ascension Pills were about the size of walnuts. Their outer layer was emerald green, while their interiors were crystal-clear, with a faint glow swirling within.

Most peculiar of all, the Soul Ascension Pills carried an exceedingly mysterious aura of life.

"The main effect of Soul Ascension Pills is to increase Soul Power. Each soul master can only consume one in their lifetime; taking even one more would affect their potential."

"Normally, only soul masters above the Soul Elder rank would be willing to eat one. At the Soul Elder level, it can roughly raise one's Soul Power by a level."

As Wang Dong'er explained the effects of the Soul Ascension Pills, she handed one to Xiao Xiao and one to Huo Yuhao.

"One each."

Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao each accepted an emerald-green Soul Ascension Pill, both feeling rather moved.

They understood very clearly that this was compensation Wang Dong'er had fought to obtain for them.

Otherwise, based on what they had heard while pretending to be unconscious, it was easy enough to imagine what sort of conduct Shrek Academy had.

Generally speaking, almost no one would be willing to consume a Soul Ascension Pill while they were only in the teens. As for you two... that is up to you. If you want to wait until you become Soul Elders before taking them, you can take this bottle with you.

"Also, this Mysterious Water Pill and this soul bone." Wang Dong'er picked up the other two items. "The two of you can divide them, but I would recommend that Huo Yuhao take the Mysterious Water Pill. It will suit you better."

"As for Xiao Xiao, if you feel that this soul bone is too random, leave it with me for now. In the future, I'll help you obtain a soul bone over fifty thousand years."

"Dong'er, you don't want one?" Xiao Xiao was somewhat surprised.

The one who had faced the greatest danger was still Wang Dong'er. After all, she had stood in front of Ma Xiaotao and given her a chance to escape.

Wang Dong'er shook her head. "Consider it my thanks to you two. Besides, I don't need soul bones."

Neither of them resisted or felt displeased by Wang Dong'er's rather indirect form of gratitude.

Being given a Soul Ascension Pill was already beyond anything they had dared hope for. Moreover, Wang Dong'er had probably already planned this distribution when she demanded compensation from Shrek Academy.

Aside from the Soul Ascension Pill that should have belonged to her in the first place, she had not kept any of the rest for herself.

Xiao Xiao was fine with it. She had already decided to follow Wang Dong'er, and the stronger she became, the more she could help Wang Dong'er. After giving it some thought, she directly accepted the soul bone, intending to give it a try.

Since it was a soul bone dropped by a fifty-thousand-year soul beast, it should not produce some useless skill.

Huo Yuhao, meanwhile, was somewhat touched. His relationship with Wang Dong'er was nothing more than that of classmates bound by an exchange of interests. If it had been up to Shrek Academy, at most he would have received a Soul Ascension Pill.

Yet Wang Dong'er had obtained an extra Mysterious Water Pill for him, a medicinal pill that was clearly extremely valuable.

"Since you have no objections to my arrangement, then that settles it." Wang Dong'er told Huo Yuhao about the effects of the Mysterious Water Pill and reminded him that he had to consume it while he was alone.

An innocent man was guilty for possessing jade. Huo Yuhao understood that principle, but Wang Dong'er's reminder still warmed his heart.

Xiao Xiao watched the deeply moved Huo Yuhao vigilantly and quietly moved a little closer to Wang Dong'er.

Next, Wang Dong'er took out the Soul Cannon she had used earlier on the Soul Duel Stage.

"This is... a Soul Tool!" Huo Yuhao could not help reaching out to touch it.

"I remember the academy has a teaching building for the Soul Tool Department." Recalling that gray teaching building area set apart from the rest, Huo Yuhao could not help looking toward Wang Dong'er, who seemed to understand the most among the three present.

"I heard Senior Brother Bei Bei say that first-year freshmen are not divided into departments. After the first year, do I need to go study in the Soul Tool Department?"

"That is your own decision." Wang Dong'er shrugged. "I will not interfere with your choice. Still, a friendly reminder: when someone wants to take you as a disciple, you had better think carefully. Don't casually acknowledge a master."

"Also." Wang Dong'er turned toward Xiao Xiao. "Xiao Xiao, you need to learn Soul Tools with me. I do not require you to learn how to manufacture them, nor do you need to understand their principles, but you must know how to use all kinds of common Soul Tools."

"Abandon the so-called glory of soul masters. Only those who are skilled at making use of tools can fight until the very end."

Book recommendation: "Douluo Peerless: The Unhinged Me Wrecks the Whole World"

After transmigrating into the Peerless Douluo era, I awakened the Painted Skin Martial Soul and disguised it as the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, becoming a glorious undercover agent planted by the Holy Spirit Cult in the Duke's Mansion.

My cheat abilities were—the Best Drama System and Electrolux!

I wanted to put on the most dramatic performances and turn everyone's world upside down!

· The Duke's Mansion family recognition scene:

"Uncle Dai Hao, this is Huo Yun'er, the personal maid I just took in."

Dai Hao: ...

the Star Luo Imperial Family:

"Jiujiu, you really do sit high above everyone else."

Xu Jiujiu: I'm sorry! I'll do anything.

Zhou Yi was about to expel nine students during Shrek Academy's running exercise:

"Only nine? That's far too few! It'll affect our class's advancement rate! Teacher, I'm reporting this!"

Zhou Yi: ?

Everyone: !?

Ma Xiaotao's evil fire erupted:

"Mara-Struck Body—Activate!"

"You're crazy? I'm crazier than you! Ahahaha~! Red-haired miss, come play a game with me~!"

"This isn't a battle. It's a hunt!"

Ma Xiaotao: Don't come any closer~

And so, she went from being an undercover agent in the Duke's Mansion, to an undercover agent in the imperial family, then an undercover agent at Shrek Academy, and finally infiltrated the Holy Spirit Cult as its Holy Son, abducting several Holy Maidens along the way.

She never indulged anyone, could go crazy anytime and anywhere, and wreaked havoc on everyone!

This book was also known as:

"My Madness Is Above All of Yours!"

"After Becoming the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son, Isn't It Perfectly Reasonable to Bring Back a Few Holy Maidens?"

"My Madness Wreaks Havoc Across the Entire World"

After explaining the matters each of them needed to keep in mind, Wang Dong'er turned her attention to the system panel.

At this moment, all three missions on the panel had been marked as completed.

The first to be completed was "Portable Old Grandpa." It had been completed as soon as Electrolux entered the Clear Sky Token, but Wang Dong'er had not checked it at the time.

Like the "Soul Tool Heavenly Calamity" triggered by Huo Yuhao, this was a mission the system had warned her to choose carefully. It concerned Electrolux's future fate.

Now, this mysterious reward was quietly waiting for Wang Dong'er to open it.

Mission "Portable Old Grandpa" completed. Mysterious reward obtained: Child of Light

Child of Light? Wang Dong'er had not expected such a reward.

To a certain extent, this reward was the same kind as the Extreme Ice granted by the previous "The Diagram Reveals the Dagger" mission.

According to what Electrolux had said in the original work, the Child of Light constitution could be considered an ultimate light attribute on the Douluo Continent.

The Extreme Ice attribute Wang Dong'er had previously obtained had fused into her second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. If this Child of Light constitution fused with her as well, it would most likely allow her first martial soul, the Light Goddess Butterfly, to completely evolve into a martial soul with the ultimate light attribute.

The description of one person possessing two ultimate attributes had only ever applied to one "person"—the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who possessed ultimate fire and ultimate light.

However, after the Three-Eyed Golden Lion took human form as "Wang Qiu'er," her martial soul had taken the form of a Golden Dragon, leaving her with only a strength attribute.

Thinking about it carefully, in the original work, Huo Yuhao, as the human Child of Destiny, possessed three attributes: spiritual, Extreme Ice, and undead.

Meanwhile, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, as the auspicious beast bearing the fortune of soul beasts, possessed strength, ultimate fire, and ultimate light.

The correspondence between them could practically be called a perfect match.

Before going to the Extreme North, should she first abduct the Imperial Auspicious Beast?

However, Wang Dong'er did not dwell on it for long and quickly returned her focus to the system panel.

There were still rewards from two missions waiting for her to claim.

First was Xiao Xiao's "Favor of the Sun." The random reward obtained upon completing it was "Luck Suppression."

On the surface, this reward appeared to be some sort of ability related to luck, but its true effect was still unknown.

However, Xiao Xiao's first martial soul, the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, possessed an innate suppressive ability. According to her family's teachings, if their inherited martial soul, the Soul Suppressing Cauldron, could be cultivated to the utmost limit, it could even suppress the fortune of an entire nation. Yet no one in Xiao Xiao's family had ever managed to cultivate it to that extent.

She would find out what kind of ability it was once she used it. Wang Dong'er looked further down, and the only remaining mission was "Soul Tool Heavenly Calamity."

Mission "Soul Tool Heavenly Calamity" completed. Mysterious rewards obtained: Blessed by Luck, Huo Yuhao's loyalty

Blessed by Luck!

Just looking at those four words made Wang Dong'er feel immensely invigorated.

As for that bit afterward about Huo Yuhao's loyalty, Wang Dong'er tossed it straight to the back of her mind.

So long as he was not working for Shrek Academy, it had nothing to do with her even if Huo Yuhao truly became a god.

The rewards from all three missions were extraordinarily generous. Good news lifted the spirit, and Wang Dong'er's mood visibly brightened.

Just as the three of them were distributing pills and soul bones in the classroom, on the small island at the center of Sea God Lake, within a secret chamber far away—

A woman dressed in red gradually awoke from unconsciousness.

"Mm..." The red-clad woman let out a soft groan and abruptly sat up.

"Strange... I think my evil fire erupted, and then I lost control..."

"That's right, Xiaotao. Your evil fire did indeed go out of control." An aged voice suddenly rang out. It was obvious he had been waiting there all along, and the woman in red instinctively turned toward the sound.

"Teacher..." This was not the first time Yan Shaozhe had done this. Ma Xiaotao had long since grown used to it. Every time her evil fire went out of control, Yan Shaozhe was always the first to find her and bring her back to the secret chamber.

Yan Shaozhe had once tactfully suggested to Ma Xiaotao that, if she truly could not endure it anymore, she could find a few male companions outside the academy. Whenever her evil fire erupted, she could resolve it on the spot instead of painstakingly suppressing it.

But Ma Xiaotao refused to accept that.

Why was she the only one who had to suffer the torment of evil fire?

If not for this evil fire, her cultivation would have soared long ago. Why would she be like this now, always having to stop cultivating?

"Xiaotao, this time, you nearly made a grave mistake!" Yan Shaozhe's voice was somewhat stern.

Ma Xiaotao froze. "Did I kill someone while my evil fire was out of control?"

"Not yet," Yan Shaozhe said irritably. "But you nearly brought a great disaster upon the academy."

"I had no choice but to offer compensation on your behalf and humble myself before them. Fortunately, although we suffered considerable losses, the outcome was still good."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Ma Xiaotao could not help but feel deeply moved, not sparing any thought for anything else.

Although Yan Shaozhe had repeatedly tried to persuade her to keep male companions so she could escape the loss of control caused by her evil fire, he had meant well in the end.

And now, he had paid an unimaginable price for her sake.

Unfortunately, constrained by her evil fire, she simply could not cultivate, much less repay the academy for its immense kindness.

She could never repay Shrek Academy's debt of gratitude!

Otherwise... should she try the method Teacher had mentioned before?

Just as Ma Xiaotao struggled painfully within her heart, Yan Shaozhe spoke again. "By the way, Xiaotao. Do you still remember what happened after you rushed out of Sea God Lake?"
