Tian Mucheng looked at the thread of red fortune Moyan had sent back and fell silent. He truly had not expected her to be so fierce. The moment she arrived at Shrek Academy, she cursed Tang San, egged Dugu Yan on to beat Yan Shaozhe, dared to defy Mu En, and now had even beaten Ma Xiaotao into a pighead.

He even suspected that, while Moyan appeared to wield the Authority of Sloth, she was actually a thoroughbred troublemaker.

Seeking amusement so shamelessly was rather...

"Forget it. Let her do as she pleases." Tian Mucheng muttered, then fed the thread of red fortune in his hand to the Dragon Soul.

The Dragon Soul continuously absorbed the fortune, while Tian Mucheng waited in eager anticipation. He was planning a particularly interesting experiment.

A moment later, the Dragon Soul successfully refined the fortune. The original fortune unexpectedly transformed into a medicinal pill, its appearance strange, as though the Dragon Soul had condensed it through some unique method.

"Xue." Holding the pill refined from fortune in one hand and another pill refined from an ordinary immortal herb in the other, Tian Mucheng softly called out and summoned Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue instantly appeared at Tian Mucheng's side and respectfully said, "Lord Saint."

"How is that Evil Soul Master Titled Douluo doing now?" Tian Mucheng asked.

Xiao Xue's expression turned serious as she truthfully reported, "He is extremely tenacious. That man seems to have been completely controlled by his own Martial Soul. He has lost all reason and humanity, and only the instincts to kill and devour remain in his mind."

"Oh?" A glint of interest flashed through Tian Mucheng's eyes. He immediately headed for the door. "Come. Let's meet him."

I still owe Moyan a guard. This Evil Soul Master Titled Douluo might be suitable as her second guard at Shrek Academy.

Seeing this, Xiao Xue promptly followed him.

Inside the gloomy prison, more than a dozen men in black cloaks and dragon-patterned masks stood neatly in formation. The moment they saw Tian Mucheng and Xiao Xue enter, they immediately dropped to one knee in unison, their voices low and respectful. "Greetings, Lord Saint and Lady Xiao Xue."

"Rise." Tian Mucheng waved his hand, his tone calm.

Tian Mucheng swept his gaze over these Dragon Slaves, whose cultivation ranged from Soul Kings to Soul Emperors, and a hint of satisfaction rose in his heart.

Some of them had originally been Evil Soul Masters, long sunk into darkness. Others had become walking corpses with nowhere to go after avenging their great grudges, with nothing left but their shells. There were even pitiful souls who had been falsely accused of being Evil Soul Masters by Shrek Academy and wronged into this state.

It had to be said that the forces most skilled at creating Evil Soul Masters in this era were not the notorious Holy Spirit Cult, but Shrek Academy, which wore a glorious name, and those rotten, degenerate nobles.

Relying on the authority and resources in their hands, they freely distorted the truth and forcibly drove many innocent people into darkness, turning them into Evil Soul Masters. They truly had a knack for it.

Especially that Zhou Yi. She was definitely one of them!

The two soon arrived before a cage. Within it, a "person" covered in blood was curled up.

There was not a trace of ordinary human emotion on his face, only naked madness and bloodlust. Rather than a human, he looked more like a savage beast whose animal nature had been unleashed.

Tian Mucheng stared gravely at the man's feet, where nine Soul Rings were arranged in sequence: white, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.

This man was named Tian Shaosheng. He had been born into a noble family and, through unremitting effort, successfully joined Shrek Academy. He should have had a bright future ahead of him.

However, fate played a cruel joke on him. Because he had accidentally offended those within the academy who possessed deep connections, his family was wiped out overnight. Filled with grief and indignation, he sought justice, but Shrek Academy turned a blind eye to the matter and even moved to suppress him.

Driven into such desperation, Tian Shaosheng was forcibly turned into an Evil Soul Master.

Although he used the power of an Evil Soul Master to kill those who had persecuted him, those noble families refused to let the matter rest. They struck again and slaughtered every last survivor of his family.

In the end, his rationality was completely devoured by his Martial Soul, leaving him a cold machine that knew only slaughter.

Tian Shaosheng's Martial Soul was the Bone Fire Dragon, a mutated version of the Bone Dragon. Yet Tian Mucheng could not help but feel puzzled. Given Tian Shaosheng's talent and experiences, his first Soul Ring should not have been white under normal circumstances. Why he had chosen to absorb a white Soul Ring was truly impossible to fathom.

"What a tragedy." Tian Mucheng stared at the monster in the cage, one that could no longer be considered human. Just as he had expected, Shrek was like this.

Old Huo had no talent or future, so they turned a blind eye to Duke White Tiger. Old Huo had strength... emmm, that seemed hard to put into words.

"Xue, control him directly in a moment!" Though Tian Mucheng felt a trace of sympathy for Tian Shaosheng's tragic experiences, in this world where the strong preyed upon the weak, he would not act merely out of pity.

This man before him, who had already lost all humanity, was like an abandoned chess piece. He could no longer be used normally. Only by forging him into a merciless blade in his hand could he bring out his final value.

Xiao Xue nodded slightly, a cold glint flashing through her eyes as she fixed her gaze on the crazed Tian Shaosheng inside the cage. Soul Power quietly surged around her as she prepared to carry out Tian Mucheng's orders at any moment.

At that moment, a Dragon Slave stepped forward and turned the key in his hand. With a click, the cell door slowly opened.

Xiao Xue seized the opportunity and decisively struck. In an instant, nine Soul Rings rose beneath her feet in order, shining yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red. A powerful pressure instantly blanketed the entire prison. Immediately afterward, Martial Soul PossessionIce Dragon! Cold air billowed from her body, and in the blink of an eye, a thick layer of ice elemental energy covered the cell door, creaking sharply.

Sensing danger, Tian Shaosheng instinctively tried to resist, but it was already too late. The ice elemental energy controlled by Xiao Xue spread like a surging tide and engulfed him in an instant.

Within moments, apart from his mouth barely being able to open and close, every other part of Tian Shaosheng's body had already been tightly encased in ice elemental energy. He became a lifelike ice sculpture, frozen in the very instant of resistance.

His eyes were full of madness and rage, yet he could no longer break free from the restraints of solid ice.

Seeing this, Tian Mucheng stepped forward steadily. He reached out and gripped Tian Shaosheng's chin, applying slight force to make him part his lips, while his other hand took out the pill refined from fortune.

Tian Mucheng silently considered it. Tian Shaosheng had long developed resistance to pills made from ordinary immortal herbs. Those precious immortal herbs were not easy to obtain, and he absolutely could not waste them on this fellow for an experiment.

Now, only this pill refined from a thread of fortune today might produce a different result. It was the perfect chance to see whether this pill would develop the same resistance as the other pills refined by the Dragon Soul.

With that thought, Tian Mucheng no longer hesitated. He gently placed the pill into Tian Shaosheng's mouth, then released him and quietly waited for the changes to follow.

"Ah!"

Tian Shaosheng's body began to twist. The ice elemental energy covering him was eroded by an unknown fire element and slowly melted.
