[Congratulations, host, on completing today's journal entry. Reward distribution in progress...] [Ding—The tenfold critical-hit reward effect has been triggered. This reward has been upgraded. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Purple Wisteria Soft Armor, the Profound Jade Hand, Star Transposition, a one-level increase in soul power, and one spatial storage Soul Weapon (one hundred cubic meters).]

Xiao Ge's gaze swept over the singing girl downstairs, and a hint of delight surfaced in the depths of his eyes.

Although the reward for the daily journal did not include the newbie gift pack's ridiculous prizes, Huo Yuhao was still very satisfied.

The Purple Wisteria Soft Armor was also a weapon forged by the Sword God in pursuit of defeat. Now that it had appeared in his hands, it happened to be compatible with his Profound Jade Hand. Meanwhile, the Profound Jade Hand and Star Transposition were likewise rewards difficult to obtain even in ten thousand years.

Using the power of others against themselves, he could even use Star Transposition to receive an opponent's attack and return it to them by their own method... Had he fallen into a river?

What?

You said my Star Transposition could not reflect the effects of those soul skills?

What kind of joke was that?!

Little Ying San could rely on Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, the Profound Jade Hand, and Controlling Crane, Capturing Dragon to rise from obscurity, yet you said my Star Transposition was useless against soul skills?

Did no one realize just how profound some of Ying San's soul skills were? Surely not?

Xiao Ge's heart stirred. A black ring suddenly appeared in his palm, fitting perfectly once he put it on his finger.

That ring was the storage Soul Weapon he had just obtained, and the Purple Wisteria Soft Armor forged by the Sword God in pursuit of defeat was now inside the Yama Ring.

Xiao Ge was in no hurry to take it out for a look. Even if he wanted to wear it, he would not put on the Yama Ring in front of others...

Xiao Ge's gaze returned to the singing girl downstairs, and a trace of intoxication once again appeared on his face.

A sip of wine... that was the flavor!

Then the music started, and then the dancing began.

Xiao Ge wasn't home?

Duoduo, who had finally found Huo Yuhao's residence, let out a weary sigh. A thoughtful look surfaced on her face—Huo Yuhao seemed to come and go like a ghost. Finding him was no easy task. As the young sect master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she could hardly stand guard here every day waiting for Huo Yuhao to return.

What excuse could she use to spend more time with Xiao Ge and get closer to him?

Duoduo rubbed her forehead and pondered bitterly. After a long bout of deep thought, her eyes suddenly lit up.

If she remembered correctly, Huo Yuhao seemed to be the same age as her and was also participating in the Shrek Academy entrance examinations. If she could get Huo Yuhao to go to Shrek Academy with her... then her contact with Xiao Ge would naturally increase.

As for how to get Huo Yuhao to attend Shrek Academy with her, that was easy. She only needed to find her father and have him make the arrangements.

After all, Huo Yuhao was the descendant of a meritorious official who had made great contributions to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It was only right to send such a descendant to the best academy on the continent, wasn't it?

Duoduo could not help praising herself for being so clever.

There were so many people in the daily journal chat group. She had to make the most of this chance and ensure her name appeared more often in the journal!

At that moment, Huo Yuhao, who had just walked out of the tavern, wore a satisfied smile at the corners of his lips.

Tell me, wasn't that little melody truly brilliant?

Listening to a tune really did dispel a thousand worries.

No worries? Wasn't that simply because the spinning top was spinning faster?

Xiao Ge never could have imagined that Duoduo had already begun planning to join Shrek Academy with him.

[Today's journal reward distribution has ended. System calculation in progress...] [Congratulations to Wang Dongliu. For appearing the most times in today's journal, you have received the following rewards: all soul rings' age increased by one thousand years, soul power increased by one level, one ten-thousand-year left-leg soul bone, and the perception of Sea God Ying San (limited to half a year).] [Congratulations to the unknowingly hardworking person for becoming the most active participant in today's journal, receiving the Abyssal Water Dragon King Crown. The unknowingly hardworking person may designate tomorrow's daily journal reward.]

All soul rings had their ages increased, and she had even received a ten-thousand-year left-leg bone?

All the women with daily journal copies inhaled sharply.

The reward list had already explained the rewards in broad terms, but they had not yet formed a concrete understanding of them. Now, seeing Wang Dongliu receive such tremendous benefits just because she had been mentioned several times in the journal, thoughts began stirring in each of their hearts.

Unfortunately, none of them knew Huo Yuhao, nor did they know how to make him mention them more often in his journal.

Wang Dongliu, who was worrying about being controlled by the group leader Ying San and avoiding sharing a dormitory with Huo Yuhao, trembled slightly. The Bright Goddess Butterfly martial soul seemed to emerge beyond her control, its one yellow and one purple soul rings undergoing a dazzling transformation.

The yellow soul ring rapidly transformed into a purple thousand-year soul ring, while the color of the second soul ring deepened considerably.

The evolution in the soul rings' ages directly raised Wang Dongliu's original twenty-fourth-level soul power to the twenty-sixth level. Adding the one level granted by the reward, Wang Dongliu had suddenly become a twenty-seventh-level Grand Soul Master.

Including that ten-thousand-year left-leg bone, which had also appeared on the table before Wang Dongliu.

Yet Wang Dongliu's attention was not on her elevated soul ring ages, soul power, or the ten-thousand-year soul bone before her.

At that moment, her beautiful face was slightly flushed, and a prideful curve appeared on her delicate lips.

The perception of Sea God Ying San?

This reward was simply too perfect!

Ever since learning that she was nothing more than a pawn arranged by others, Wang Dongliu had felt as though she were being watched. She always felt that an invisible pair of eyes was observing her.

And those eyes were most likely Sea God Ying San's perception—her every move might be under the other party's watch.

But now, with this reward, she could be relatively free for a while... Though it only lasted half a year, those six months were already priceless!

Moreover, she could fully use those six months to do things Ying San had planned to stop her from doing.

For example... not going to Shrek Academy, not becoming roommates with Huo Yuhao, or perhaps... finding Xiao Ge.

That was right.

Xiao Ge was the most important person.

Since she could obtain such a reward from Huo Yuhao's journal, that meant she could obtain more!

I must find Huo Yuhao... Only Huo Yuhao can change my fate!

Wang Dongliu took a deep breath and rose to her feet again, her eyes regaining their former brilliance.

She lowered her head and looked at the soul bone lying on the table, gleaming like jade, without the slightest desire to absorb it.

Although absorbing this soul bone would likewise increase her strength, it was foreseeable that she would definitely obtain a better soul bone in the future.

As for this soul bone... After considering it repeatedly, Wang Dongliu put it away.

Finding Huo Yuhao across the vast continent would be no easy matter. She needed enough funds to support her search for information, and this soul bone could fetch a high price!
