Hello! Intrusion into the Sea God Pavilion Conference

"Join us?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow as he looked at the timid Xiao Xiao before him.

"You mean, join the Akatsuki?"

Whoosh!

The sound of space being torn apart suddenly rang out.

Jiang Nannan's figure instantly appeared beside Xiao Xiao.

"Yu Hao! I feel the same way as Xiao Xiao!"

Jiang Nannan took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.

At Shrek Academy, most students were descendants of Soul Masters or children of powerful nobles.

For a commoner Soul Master like Jiang Nannan, every step here was difficult.

Ever since joining the new Shrek Seven Devils team led by Beibei, she and Xiao Xiao had constantly been part of the disadvantaged group that was often ostracized.

There was no point in staying in such a hypocritical place!

Huo Yuhao looked at the two determined girls before him and decisively refused.

"That's impossible!"

"Members of the Akatsuki must possess the resolve to sever everything. Only then can they withstand the darkness to come."

Huo Yuhao spoke without mercy.

"You aren't suited for it!"

Hearing that blunt rejection, Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan's eyes instantly dimmed, their faces filled with disappointment.

"However..."

Huo Yuhao abruptly changed his tone.

"Still..."

"In the future, you can join another organization that I will establish—"

"An organization where you can obtain Soul Rings without hunting Spirit Beasts, known as the Gotei 13!"

The two girls' faces were instantly filled with astonishment.

"What?"

"You can obtain Soul Rings without hunting Spirit Beasts?!"

That completely overturned everything they knew as Soul Masters!

Huo Yuhao did not explain further. With a flip of his right hand, he took out a silver ring.

Bang!

With a light flick of his finger, the ring landed steadily in Xiao Xiao's hand.

"Xiao Xiao, Jiang Nannan, remain in Shrek for now."
