Celebrate

After the Spirit Eyes completed their evolution.

In addition to upgrading the innate talent known as Instant into a domain ability, they had also awakened the two innate attributes of time and space.

This further expanded Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea. With Tian Meng's Spiritual Origin assisting him, his Spiritual Power surged once again.

As his martial soul appeared.

Huo Yuhao's deep, ocean-like blue eyes instantly turned into dazzling purple-gold. Strange, obscure patterns filled them, intricate markings intertwining around his pupils and adding an air of unfathomable mystery.

His temperament changed drastically as well. The gentle and refined image of a boy next door had completely vanished.

In its place stood a natural-born king—noble beyond compare, someone others did not dare meet directly in the eye.

Rejoice!

The king of Spiritual Martial Souls had been born. It united time, space, and spirit as one. Though not an Ultimate Martial Soul, it surpassed one—it was the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul!

Rejoice!

He was the fated one who would dispel overwhelming evil and lead Douluo Continent toward a brand-new future. He was the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao! At this moment, the true savior had descended upon this continent.

Fire a salute for the birth of a king!

As for the name of the evolved Spirit Eyes.

Huo Yuhao thought carefully about it. Whether it was Demon Eye, Double Pupil, Golden Pupil, Eternal Eye, Asura Eye, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, or even Super-Dimensional Destiny Divine Pupil, Strongest Invincible Ruin Space-Time Eye...

None of them seemed to have the same charm as Spirit Eyes.

"Let's just keep calling it Spirit Eyes..."

After fretting over it for a moment, Huo Yuhao stopped dwelling on it.

"But are Shrek's people really this inefficient?"

He shook his head inwardly.

From the very first day he enrolled, he had never held back. He was practically one loudspeaker short of shouting nonsense across Shrek Square: I have Ultimate Ice—if you're my brother, come hack me!

As a commoner with a clean background—or so he considered himself—his only issue was that his origins were unclear. But as long as he was not from some major power or a spy sent by the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek would certainly feel at ease putting great effort into nurturing him.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, the White Tiger Family of the Star Luo Empire, the Darkwater Sect...

Though Huo Yuhao was actually from one of those great powers—the family of Duke White Tiger.

With his current completely transformed appearance, even if his mother, Huo Yun'er, came back to life, she would probably find it difficult to recognize him.

Let alone anyone else.

Who would remember Dai Yuhao, the obscure, poorly gifted, underdeveloped boy who had once lived under the roof of Duke White Tiger's household?

The night passed swiftly.

Today was the first official day of school for Shrek Academy's new students.

Although Huo Yuhao had not slept, he was completely refreshed. After washing up, he changed into the white uniform for new students.

He also woke Wang Dong, who was still sleeping soundly.

"Wake up. Look what time it is."

Wang Dong opened her bleary eyes and yawned.

"It's been so long since I slept this comfortably."

Over these brief five days, Wang Dong had thoroughly witnessed what a true cultivation maniac was like. She finally understood how Huo Yuhao, despite his impoverished family background, had managed to possess a Soul Power Level close to Rank 30 at such a young age.

Huo Yuhao: Actually, I'm cheating.

Though she did not know why he was in such a desperate rush to cultivate, it also let her see his unique charm.

Wang Dong had once asked, "Yuhao, why push yourself to such extremes just for cultivation?"

Huo Yuhao sighed. "Because I'm too weak right now. There's nothing I can do."

Wang Dong: If you're weak like this, then what am I?

Seeing Wang Dong's puzzled expression, Huo Yuhao shook his head and did not answer further.

Setting aside the Sword of Damocles from Tang San, there was first the one-month deadline that was fast approaching.

To raise his Soul Power Level by two ranks and reach Rank 30 in only a month—anyone would have to cultivate diligently!

A month later, he would head alone to a certain place on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Huo Yuhao did not know the precise meaning of this Destiny Revelation, but since it involved the Star Dou Great Forest, it was surely closely related to soul beasts.

Reaching Rank 30 first was always the right choice.

Otherwise, if he encountered a suitable soul beast he liked but lacked the ability to absorb its Spirit Ring, he would regret it beyond measure.

Once this chance was missed, there would not be another!

Whether in spirit, space, or even time, soul beasts suited to the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul were exceptionally rare.

Among all the soul beasts in the world, the most compatible were actually the evil eye tyrants, but they lived in the Evil Demon Forest and were exceptionally united.

Once you beat the young ones, the old ones stepped in directly.

Some people really had no sense of fair play.

Even if Destiny Revelation had nothing to do with soul beasts, raising his Soul Power Level now would still give him another means of survival.

Going alone was still somewhat dangerous.

With his current small frame, if he happened to run into an enemy at the level of a Titled Douluo, he might just die on the spot.

Seeing Wang Dong about to get up, Huo Yuhao was already ready to leave. "We're not in the same class, so I won't wait for you."

It would also give Wang Dong some private space.

"Got it. Go on ahead, then."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who could not hide his handsomeness even in the standard school uniform, Wang Dong had to admit that she was feeling a tiny bit of regret.

In a moment of heated impulse that day, she had rejected his invitation to switch classes without thinking it through enough.

But the arrow was already on the string; she had no choice but to fire it.

She had previously heard the senior students in charge of freshman registration say that the female students of Freshman Class Nine were the best among all ten freshman classes.

One senior sister had even lamented that a "handsome young man" like her had been assigned to Class One under Zhou Yi. She had comforted and encouraged Wang Dong, telling her to work hard and not get eliminated too early.

Apparently, that woman—the little princess of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect—was also in Class Nine.

What if Yuhao lost control for a moment and got his head turned by that little rich girl? Wouldn't she be screwed?

Ah, no, wait. Wasn't she a rich girl too? What was she afraid of?

Coupled with the advantage of living together now, what could those other seductive women possibly use to compete with her?

There was no way.

With a Martial Soul Fusion Skill between them, she was invincible!

She would just endure it for three months.

In the Teacher Office Area, inside a separate teachers' office.

A female teacher who looked to be around thirty, in the prime of her life, sat behind her desk with a smug expression.

Looking at the roster of students in her class, the young and beautiful teacher wore a faint smile, her eyes glittering with unconcealed pride.

"There are only three Soul Elders among the freshmen, and one of them is in my class. Zhou Yi, let's see what you'll use to fight me this time!"

This person was none other than Mu Jin, the Class Teacher of Huo Yuhao's Freshman Class Nine.

But compared to Ning Tian, the level thirty-one Soul Elder, she was actually more curious about Huo Yuhao, who ranked second in the class in Soul Power Level.

He possessed a Body Martial Soul—the Spirit Eye.

She wondered whether this type of martial soul was really as mysterious as the legends claimed.

After putting away the roster, Mu Jin picked up the prepared lesson plans and headed toward the Freshman Teaching Building.
