Auspicious Beast Takes Human Form

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong moved quickly, their figures darting through the sunlight, passing the teaching building, crossing the playground, and traversing the tree-lined path.

However, when they arrived at the Academy East Gate, a large crowd had already gathered there.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the center of the crowd, where two figures were fighting.

The two moved with lightning speed and their moves were fierce. Each collision brought up a gust of wind, making the surrounding leaves rustle.

Huo Yuhao recognized one of them; he Du Wei, a fourth-year student from the Outer Court of the Shrek Academy, who was Soul Ancestor Master.

His opponent was a girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

She is tall, but not thin; instead, she exudes a sense of balanced strength.

She was stunningly beautiful, with striking features, and her sharp eyebrows added a touch of heroic spirit, making her look less like a delicate young woman and more like Valkyrie on the battlefield.

Her long, golden hair swayed with her movements, the ends of which were fiery red, like burning flames, and were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

She had no Soul Ring on her feet and did not appear to have Martial Soul Possession, but her movements were extremely fast, so fast that they were impossible to see.

She shifted to the side, like a falling leaf, lightly dodging Du Wei's sword.

The sword light flashed past her side, creating a gust of wind that ruffled her long hair, but it didn't even touch the hem of her clothes.

Then, she threw a punch!

That punch was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.

The fist whistled through the air, carrying an overwhelming force, and slammed straight into Du Wei's chest.

Du Wei's expression changed instantly. He had no time to dodge and could only use his Sword Martial Soul to defend, holding it horizontally in front of him in an attempt to block the punch.

"Boom!!!"

With a dull thud, Du Wei was thrown back dozens of meters before he could barely stand.

His feet dug two deep furrows in the ground, sending dirt flying and stones scattering everywhere.

He stood there, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

"Puff!"

Du Wei felt a sweet taste in his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The force of that punch was simply too great. Although his martial spirit blocked it, it was still slammed against his chest, and the force of the punch solidly entered his chest.

That force surged through his body, causing his internal organs to churn.

"I lost!"

He stood up, looked at the other person, and his expression was complicated.

As a student of Shrek, he felt somewhat ashamed to lose without even forcing his opponent to reveal their martial soul, and a sense of defeat welled up inside him.

At this moment, many people around looked at the girl with solemn expressions.

Those young faces were filled with shock.

They were well aware of Du Wei's strength; he was definitely not weak among the Soul Ancestor.

Now that Du Wei has lost so easily, few of them dare to say they can defeat this girl.

Those students who usually considered themselves geniuses were now silent.

Huo Yuhao looked at the girl and frowned slightly.

For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with the other person.

The girl's gaze swept over the crowd, her clear voice echoing in the air. "Who else?"

But the other trainees weren't stupid; they knew they were no match for their opponent, so none of them answered.

They remained silent, their gazes darting away.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan stepped forward.

This former Grandmaster of the Inner Court is now the vice dean of the Outer Court.

Yan Shaozhe focused his main attention on the Inner Court, while Zhang Lexuan basically managed the Outer Court.

She looked at the girl opposite her, her bright eyes sparkling with admiration.

She spoke gently, "You have proven your strength. In my capacity as the vice dean of the Outer Court, I agree to let you enter Shrek Academy."

Zhang Lexuan was naturally delighted that the academy had such a genius join it.

She was young, and her thinking wasn't rigidly bound by the rules of the academy; she was quite flexible.

She then asked, "What's your name? What's your current Soul Power level? I'll see which grade you should be placed in."

Given the strength this girl has demonstrated, she naturally doesn't need to start learning from the first grade.

The girl's gaze suddenly fixed on a spot, and she slowly said, "My name is Jin Li!"

Huo Yuhao, standing in the crowd, was slightly taken aback when he saw the girl's sudden gaze.

He was certain that the other person was looking at him.

Then, Huo Yuhao heard what the other person said.

When the name "Jin Li" entered his ears, Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted sharply, and a hint of shock flashed in his Spirit Eyes.

He finally realized where that feeling of familiarity came from.

He was very familiar with that name.

Not long ago, in the Core Circle of Star Dou Great Forest, the Auspicious Beast gave itself the name Jin Li.

Huo Yuhao didn't think that this name was commonplace on the mainland.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao was basically certain that the girl in front of him was the auspicious Auspicious Beast he had seen in the Star Dou Great Forest not long ago!

But since they weren't connected by fate, shouldn't her fate have already changed?

But how come she's transformed into human form again, and even ended up at the Shrek Academy?

The fate of Auspicious Beast seems to be reverting to its original historical trajectory?

Why is that?!

Just as Huo Yuhao was filled with questions, Wang Dong, who was beside him, noticed his unusual behavior.

She turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried to make his voice sound calm, "It's nothing."

Jin Li stood in the middle of the crowd, her posture upright, her long golden-red hair shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Beneath her feet, a bright yellow light flashed, revealing a yellow, Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

Then, purple and black appeared in succession.

In the end, six Soul Ring appeared beneath Jin Li's feet: two yellow, two purple, and two black!

Sixth Ring, Soul Emperor!

The surrounding trainees were all dumbfounded, their young faces filled with disbelief.

They never expected that Jin Li, a girl who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, would actually be a Six-Ring Soul Emperor!

All the guilt and fear they had felt before vanished at that moment.

The Soul Emperor's cultivation level was simply too much for them to bear.

At the same time, another figure couldn't help but appear in the minds of these trainees.

His talent and strength are beyond imagination.

And this figure was none other than Huo Yuhao.

That young man was also Soul Emperor, but his true strength far surpassed that of any other Soul Emperor.

After all, a year ago, he was already able to fight against Soul Douluo without being at a disadvantage!

However, what they didn't know was that Jin Li's display of Soul Emperor cultivation was a "copy" of Huo Yuhao's age and cultivation level.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, and her bright eyes sparkled with delight.

She thought to herself that she had struck gold; she never expected that this young girl would actually be Soul Emperor.

She looked at Jin Li and said, "Your Soul Emperor cultivation level is enough to directly enter the Inner Court."

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding students stirred again.

The Inner Court is the core of the Shrek Academy and the dream destination of countless Outer Court students.

But Jin Li's strength was undeniable, and when she entered the Inner Court, everyone had to admit her worth.

Jin Li did not agree immediately. Instead, she raised her slender hand and pointed in a direction from the crowd.

"Is he... also in the Inner Court?"
