The breeze continued to sweep across the hillside, rustling the vast expanse of grass.

Having decided on his final destination, Su Yu did not immediately put away the map.

He stood up straight, took a stride, and walked directly toward the highest point of the slope.

There sat a massive, protruding boulder, acting like a natural observation deck.

Su Yu pushed off the grass with his toes, his body leaping lightly onto the top of the rock.

Facing the wind with his hands behind his back, he cast his gaze toward the distant south.

Tang Wu and Xiao Wu stood below, looking up at Su Yu's back without making a sound to disturb him.

They knew that whenever Su Yu assumed this posture, he was utilizing his unfathomable investigative ability.

Standing on the rock, Su Yu took a deep breath, and the soul power within him began to surge wildly.

Within his broad meridians, which had been remodeled by the System Origin Fragment, his soul power roared like a burst dam, converging toward his eyes.

"Hum—"

A subtle energy vibration resonated through the air.

Deep within Su Yu's eyes, a brilliant golden light erupted.

The light was dazzling, like two miniature suns burning within his pupils, radiating a pressure of rules that stood above all things in heaven and earth.

Eye of Truth, fully activated!

Supported by his immense soul power, he pushed it directly to the extreme state of long-range sensing.

Within Su Yu's vision, the world before him underwent a cataclysmic change in an instant.

True colors were stripped away; mountains, rivers, trees, clouds, all transformed into microscopic outlines composed of countless black and white lines.

His field of vision seemed to break free from the shackles of space, extending wildly toward the south at an incredible speed.

His gaze pierced through layers of thick clouds and mist, crossed vast plains, and swept over scattered villages and bustling cities.

One hundred miles, two hundred miles, three hundred miles...

This extreme perspective, spanning hundreds of miles, consumed a massive amount of soul power.

Even with Su Yu's current foundation of soul power far exceeding those of his rank, he felt a hint of slight fatigue.

Yet he did not stop, instead continuing to squeeze the power within his dantian, locking his gaze firmly onto the location marked on the map.

Finally, his vision crossed the vast distance, precisely targeting the direction of the remote village known as Shrek Academy, located outside Suotuo City.

When he saw the sky in that direction, Su Yu's breathing stalled for a split second.

Good grief... Su Yu exclaimed inwardly.

In the microscopic view of the Eye of Truth, the sky above that village could only be described as a chaotic dance of demons.

It was covered in dense, multicolored threads of rules.

These threads represented the various systems bound to their hosts.

Back in Nuoding City, Su Yu had seen system threads, but those low-level system threads were usually only as thick as a strand of hair, dim in color, and scattered sparsely throughout the city.

But the sky in the direction of Shrek Academy was completely different.

The threads of rules there were as thick as steel cables!

There were red threads emitting a blinding blood-red light, representing evil systems filled with slaughter and the desire to devour;

There were threads flashing with dazzling golden light, usually belonging to invincible check-in or tycoon-style systems;

And there were threads with an eerie purple glow, the vicious cheats specifically designed to plunder the luck and talent of others.

Hundreds of these thick rule threads were frantically intertwining, tangling, and colliding in the sky.

They repelled and entangled one another, tearing the underlying logic of that sky to shreds, chaotic to the extreme, like a giant, multicolored ball of yarn.

In the few seconds Su Yu observed, he even saw several threads snap directly in mid-air due to logical conflicts, exploding into sparks of energy invisible to the naked eye.

Su Yu immediately made a deduction in his mind.

"As expected of the core convergence point of fate in the original work." Su Yu sneered repeatedly.

Shrek Academy was the place where the luck of Douluo Continent was originally most concentrated.

Those transmigrators carrying various cheats—whether they wanted to take the protagonist as a lackey, snatch opportunities, or build a harem—all treated Shrek Academy as a holy land they had to visit.

This resulted in that remote, dilapidated village now definitely being home to a large gathering of high-level system hosts.

Various check-in, plunder, and invincible-style cheaters were huddled there, and in order to snatch luck and resources, they must have already turned the place into a chaotic mess behind the scenes.

For an ordinary soul master, it was an Asura field where one could lose their life at any moment.

The moment they got close, they would be crushed into cannon fodder by those system hosts.

But for Su Yu, who possessed the Conceptual Eraser, it was simply an excellent experience-farming site tailor-made for him!

"With so many high-level system origins, if I cut off their connections and devour them all, to what extent would my strength expand?" Su Yu licked his lips, his heartbeat accelerating involuntarily.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, the brilliant golden light in his eyes gradually receding until it dissipated completely.

Su Yu stood upon the rock, looking down from his vantage point toward the southern sky.

There was not a shred of fear in his eyes for those high-level cheaters; instead, they glinted with the unmasked, bloodthirsty excitement of a hunter spotting top-tier prey.

He could hardly wait to dive into that chaotic mess, using his own eraser to wipe those self-important system hosts out one by one, turning the cheats they prided themselves on into nourishment for his own growth.

"Su Yu, did you see clearly? Is it fun over there?" Xiao Wu shouted from below, interrupting Su Yu's train of thought.

Su Yu leaped down from the rock, landing steadily on the grass.

"It's fun, ten thousand times more fun than Nuoding City." Su Yu brushed the dust off his hands, his tone laced with impatience. "The prey there is countless; it's enough for us to have a real feast."

Hearing there was prey, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly, and the rabbit ears atop her head stood straight up in excitement.

Tang Wu walked forward obediently, taking a clean handkerchief from her storage ring to gently wipe the beads of sweat from Su Yu's forehead caused by his excessive expenditure of soul power.

"Since the target is set, let's not delay." Su Yu waved his hand, rolling up the massive map on the ground and stuffing it back into his storage Soul Tool.

"Check your things. Rations, water skins, and medicinal powders for self-defense—are they all packed?" Su Yu looked at the two girls.

"Already prepared! My Soul Tool is stuffed with dried carrots, enough to last a month!" Xiao Wu patted the small bag at her waist.

"Don't worry, Brother Yu. I've sorted the antidotes and healing potions, and they are ready for use at any time," Tang Wu reported earnestly.

The three of them packed their bags, confirming that nothing had been left behind.

Su Yu turned around, his gaze sweeping over the hillside for one last look at the familiar city in the distance.

The walls of Nuoding City looked somewhat dilapidated under the sunlight, and the spires of the Soul Master Academy were vaguely visible within.

For the past six years, they had laid low and developed here, growing from three children who had just awakened their martial souls into monsters capable of shaking the region.

This place had witnessed their entire process of clearing out low-level parasites and served as the foundation where they accumulated their initial resources.

But now, the resources of this starter village had been completely squeezed dry; it no longer held any value worth lingering over.

"Let's go."

Su Yu withdrew his gaze and never looked back.

With a wave of his hand, he led the two stunningly beautiful and powerful girls beside him, setting off with firm, steady strides to officially begin the long journey toward Suotuo City.
