Shrek City, registration site.

The moment the beautiful woman in the red uniform of a Shrek Inner Court Disciple appeared, everyone present hurriedly made way for her, afraid of offending her.

She looked to be nearly twenty, with a stunning figure. A red veil covered her face, concealing her features.

Her pale pink eyes possessed a soul-stirring allure, yet her cold gaze suppressed that intoxicating, bone-melting charm.

Most eye-catching of all was her somewhat exaggerated fullness, her towering curves seeming ready to burst forth. Yet her waist was exceptionally slender, only flaring sharply at her hips. Her straight, rounded legs made every woman present feel inferior.

"What a beautiful big sister! Shrek, I'm sold!"

That was the thought running through the minds of the new students who had come to register.

"It's an Inner Court senior!"

Someone cried out in delight.

"She seems to be the Flame Maniac..."

Others recognized her and whispered among themselves.

"Shh, use your head. Show some respect to an Inner Court senior."

Someone quietly warned the person beside them.

At Shrek Academy, the status of an Inner Court Disciple was even higher than that of some Outer Court teachers.

Therefore, even though the registration process had been interrupted by the sudden commotion, the dozen or so second- and third-year Outer Court students in yellow uniforms who were handling new student registration did not dare voice their displeasure.

The male student at their head, dressed in a purple school uniform, became especially solemn. He gave the registrants an apologetic glance before respectfully looking at Ma Xiaotao.

"Senior Xiaotao, what can we do for you?"

"Nothing. Continue the testing."

Ma Xiaotao replied indifferently, her arms folded across her chest.

To temporarily suppress the Evil Fire problem caused by her cultivation, she had been planning to head to the Shrek Outer Court to find a certain tool to help put out her fire.

But as she drew near this place, she suddenly felt a mysterious impulse and sensed an aura that made her feel comfortable. Following that sensation, she had come all the way to the new student registration site.

Once she arrived, she did not know whether it was merely psychological, but she even felt the slightly frenzied Evil Fire within her settle down a little.

Looking over the people registering, Ma Xiaotao fell into thought.

What exactly is drawing me in?

Could a Soul Master with a high-quality Ice Attribute Martial Soul be about to enroll?

Could it be this exceptionally handsome little brother?

I wonder what his name is...

No, no, no, Ma Xiaotao, get a grip.

Having older students handle new student recruitment had always been a tradition at Shrek Academy, and the academy also gave those older students a small monetary subsidy.

The third-year girl standing before Huo Yuhao was one such student.

"Sorry, little brother Yuhao. Let's continue."

It had just been Huo Yuhao's turn to register. His information had been entered, and he was about to undergo his Soul Power test when the unexpected interruption occurred.

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "It's fine."

He then took the crystal ball used to test Soul Power from the person in charge and infused it with his Soul Power.

The blue crystal ball shone brightly, nearly reaching its maximum value.

"Level 27!"

There were two requirements for admission to the Shrek Outer Court. The first was being no older than twelve, while the second was having Soul Power no lower than level fifteen.

Of course, if your Soul Power was high enough, the age requirement might be relaxed somewhat.

Upon hearing the result, the male Outer Court students who had been watching in secret felt their hearts sink. Another junior with such strong talent—and he was so handsome too.

In their eyes, even Beibei, who was considered the most outstanding-looking student in the Shrek Outer Court, paled by more than a little in comparison to this young junior.

The other new students waiting to register were also shaken. Some continued swooning over him, while others firmly committed him to memory, seeing him as a formidable rival in the future.

The girl responsible for testing Huo Yuhao also revealed a delighted expression.

"Congratulations, junior. You've passed!"

"Thank you, senior."

Huo Yuhao smiled and gave a slight nod. His gentle smile, paired with his extraordinarily handsome features and the talent he had just displayed, drew countless lingering gazes.

Huo Yuhao was already used to such attention.

Ever since entering Shrek City, things like this had happened one after another. He had long since grown accustomed to it.

Come on, he was an eleven-year-old young man in his prime. They were not thinking of robbing the cradle, were they?

Like the little thoughts behind the girl's flirtatious gesture in front of him—better forget it.

Right now, he only wanted to focus on completing tasks and cultivating properly.

"Huo, next you'll be heading to the Freshman Teaching Building to register. Do you need your senior sister to show you the way?"

"Thank you for the kind offer, Senior Sister, but I can go by myself."

Although the young woman before him was fairly pretty, had a lovely figure, and seemed approachable, Huo Yuhao's first impression of her was quite good.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao had no intention of getting to know her any better.

What could he do? She was just some passerby without even an Achievement Task.

After Huo Yuhao left, Ma Xiaotao's delicate body trembled. She shook her head, suddenly feeling that something was different, then followed her heart's guidance and chased after him toward the Freshman Teaching Building.

She left behind only the baffled students.

"Do you think it's possible that Senior Xiaotao came here to find that junior who just registered?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Hahaha, I don't buy it."

"Can you imagine the short-tempered Flame Maniac acting like a little girl in love? I certainly can't."

"I really wonder which extraordinary fellow will be able to tame that Flame Maniac in the future."

"Enough, enough. Hurry up and get tested. Plenty of people are still waiting behind us."

Shrek Academy had a beautiful environment, with abundant and lush vegetation.

As he walked along the broad avenue, no matter which direction he looked, he could see at least ten different kinds of plants. They had clearly all been meticulously pruned.

After proceeding two hundred meters, several enormous statues ahead blocked his view.

There were ten statues in total, each ten meters tall, carved from the hardest granite.

These were the Golden Iron Triangle who had founded Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, along with the first-generation Shrek Seven Devils.

Huo Yuhao gave them a brief glance, his gaze lingering for a few extra seconds on only two of them.

One was naturally Tang San. Having awakened the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, he had long blue hair draped over his shoulders and a gentle, jade-like demeanor. Most of the suffering endured by the Original Work's Huo Yuhao had been caused by him.

Even now, facing God King Tang's covetous gaze, he felt considerable pressure.

The other was Dai Mubai, an ancestor of Duke White Tiger's lineage. Strictly speaking, a trace of his bloodline also flowed through Huo Yuhao.

They were both gods deeply entangled with him.

He just wondered whether these lofty gods would bleed as well!

From here, the Martial Soul Branch lay to the left and the Soul Guidance Branch to the right. They were the two major divisions of Shrek Academy's Outer Court.

The Martial Soul Branch was further divided into many departments. As a freshman, he first had to register at the Martial Soul Branch. Only after passing the first freshman assessment would he qualify to enroll in the Soul Guidance Branch.

Heading left from the statues, he arrived at a lakeside path. Through the shady green trees on his right, he could see a broad expanse of water.

This enormous lake was Sea God Lake.

Sea God Island stood at the center of the lake, where the Inner Court Disciples studied.

At that moment, Ma Xiaotao, an Inner Court Disciple, arrived belatedly. She directly stopped Huo Yuhao and got straight to the point.

"My name is Ma Xiaotao, a student of the Shrek Inner Court. What is your name?"

How should he put it?

Huo Yuhao didn't actually dislike her.

He had already decided to latch onto this powerful backer who had delivered herself to his door.

Tian Meng had been right before. Cultivating together with a fire-attribute Soul Master could also speed up his cultivation progress.

"Hello, Senior Sister. My name is Huo Yuhao. I'm a new Shrek student this year."

Ma Xiaotao Relationship: Acquainted Achievement Task: Your Name

Neither of them approached the other without an ulterior motive.

Just as Ma Xiaotao had approached him because of the flaw in her martial soul, Huo Yuhao had done so for the sake of a new task tool.

In his perception, Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire had nowhere to hide at this moment.

The scorching Evil Fire was extraordinarily quiet beneath the aura he had unconsciously released. It was even trembling slightly.

As for Ultimate Ice, he had no intention of concealing it.

It was merely an Ultimate Martial Soul. What was the big deal?

Only by appropriately revealing his talent could he receive better training and protection.
