Dog Slave Yu Hao!

Even the Holy Spirit Cult wouldn't dare pull off a job of this magnitude!

Perhaps the total number of people killed by the Holy Spirit Cult since ancient times could exceed the toll of this massive explosion.

But that was a cumulative figure over vast stretches of time. When it comes to a single, devastating act of destruction and slaughter, they couldn't even catch up if they rode the fastest horses!

He even saw it in the footage: the Death God Pagoda, which his mother had always fretted over because it lacked enough vengeful spirits, was instantly filled to the brim by this blast!

With just that one bang, it saved the masters of the Holy Spirit Cult from what would have been years of "hard labor" to accumulate such a harvest!

At this moment, Shrek Academy was no longer just an academy on the Douluo Continent. It was a destructive, super-terrorist organization—a fierce god that one could neither provoke nor escape!

"...Should we consider easing relations with the Sun Moon Empire?"

Having just received reports from his subordinates identifying over a dozen Shrek spies, the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei sat on his dragon throne, utterly exhausted, and rubbed his temples.

Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Empire was already trembling with fear, having even issued a nationwide mobilization order!

At this moment, no one was dissatisfied with this. The images on the Sky Screen had completely terrified the citizens of the Sun Moon Empire, who had long enjoyed peace and the daily comforts of soul-guiding technology!

Following that terrifying, world-shattering explosion, Huo Yuhao and his group were immediately rescued by Xuan Zi.

On the Sky Screen, Xuan Zi put on a show of scolding Huo Yuhao and the others, to which Huo Yuhao replied, "I didn't expect it to be this big; I only intended to blow up a warehouse." And just like that, the matter was brushed aside.

"Good, what a fine Shrek Academy!"

Within the Sun Moon Empire, countless people sighed with such words, their eyes filled with nothing but coldness.

Originally, despite being rivals, many in the Sun Moon Empire still held a sense of respect—and even a hint of longing—for Shrek Academy as the "Holy Land" for soul masters on the continent.

The current Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire had even said himself that one of his childhood dreams was to attend Shrek Academy.

But now, that layer of rose-colored glasses had been shattered to pieces by the world-destroying mushroom cloud on the Sky Screen! All that remained was fear and resentment.

Following this, Huo Yuhao's life took a sharp turn for the worse.

First, in a bizarre place called the "Valley of Love Inquiry," Huo Yuhao's lover Wang Dong'er died inexplicably, killed by a mysterious sea-blue figure, leaving him in absolute agony.

Then, during a high-risk rescue mission deep within the Sun Moon Empire commissioned by Shrek Academy, his other lover, Wang Qiu'er, sacrificed herself on the spot to save him.

That's right, Wang Qiu'er was not actually human, but a soul beast! And not just any, but the one-and-only Emperor Auspicious Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest! And the auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest had actually sacrificed herself for a human!

The entire Star Dou Great Forest, that Land of Great Calamity, launched a beast tide in a fit of rage, with an army of soul beasts aimed directly at Shrek Academy, swearing to demand an explanation.

Looking at that overwhelming, boundless army of soul beasts, the humans watching the Sky Screen all turned pale.

In the past, there had been more than one beast tide, all triggered by the frenzied hunting of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts by Shrek Academy and the Body Sect. Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Great Forest shared a blood feud; not only were they neighbors, but Shrek was always the most ruthless in slaughtering and plundering soul beasts, even creating the perverted "Secret Soul Technique" that required the massacre of an entire soul beast clan to artificially produce a single soul bone.

Therefore, when the Star Dou Great Forest launched a beast tide, their first stop was Shrek City. A debt of blood must be paid in blood!

Even if Shrek Academy was the number one academy on the continent, and even with the soul-guiding technology stolen from the Sun Moon Empire, they could hardly withstand the wrath of the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

This remained true even if, for reasons unknown, the Beast God did not truly go for the kill.

It was at the very moment Shrek Academy was on the brink of being trampled that Huo Yuhao finally appeared, presenting the "Soul Spirit" technology to the soul beast world and resolving the crisis.

"Soul Spirit? To think such a magical thing exists. When a soul master fights, it's equivalent to having an extra assistant!"

"One Soul Spirit can theoretically provide three or four soul rings to a soul master. The efficiency is much higher. Otherwise, at the current rate of hunting, there might not be any soul beasts left in ten thousand years."

"This Huo Yuhao has finally done a great service for the continent!"

However, while the Soul Spirit technology was nominally controlled by a newly formed organization called the "Spirit Pagoda," the core data and control were actually held by Shrek Academy, with Huo Yuhao serving only as the "First Honorary Pagoda Master."

Seeing this, the contempt and disbelief in everyone's hearts grew even stronger. Especially when they saw Huo Yuhao kowtowing respectfully to the Golden Tree to express his reverence for Mu En, whose soul had merged into the tree after death, it left them feeling nauseated.

"The debt of gratitude to Shrek is truly never-ending!"

Within the Body Sect, Du Busi, who had long since become completely numb, remarked with biting sarcasm.

The people of the Body Sect had always been self-willed, emphasizing the freedom and independence of individual will. Even Du Busi never demanded that his own disciples show such constant, reflexive gratitude and kowtowing.

In the eyes of the Body Sect, this was nothing short of enslavement and domestication! It was a pity for Huo Yuhao; despite having a limitless future and talent clearly more terrifying than that person from ten thousand years ago, he was destined to be a dog for Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

On the Sky Screen, Huo Yuhao's loyalty and filial piety toward Shrek Academy were truly extreme; he risked his life for this wretched academy every single day, while Shrek Academy treated him as a tool to be summoned and dismissed at will.

After the Sun Moon Empire launched the war to unify the Douluo Continent, in order to protect the academy's interests, Huo Yuhao barely had any time to cultivate. He spent his days fighting the Sun Moon Empire's soul engineer armies or refining pills to boost the academy's strength.

As for the benefits and welfare promised by Shrek Academy? Not a single trace. There wasn't even a shadow of those Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings or soul bones, as if they had long forgotten such promises were ever made.

And most horrifying of all, after Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, a third woman appeared in the academy who looked exactly like Wang Dong'er, also possessing the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, named Tang Wutong!

Yet, this woman's personality and memories were entirely those of someone else; she possessed none of the memories of the others.

"Good grief, is this Shrek Academy a Wang Dong factory? Are they wholesaling them now?"

"Is this some kind of human alchemy technique? Mass-produced goods? Does the Sun Moon Empire even have technology this advanced?"
