Ghost Eye and Eye of Plunder

[Detected host Soul Power cultivation has reached level thirty, triggering six-choose-two for the eyes. The host may also recast the original Spirit Eye.]

[Spirit-Communication Eye: grants the ability to communicate with living beings upon activation, no upgrade path.]

[Collapse Eye: all things around begin to shatter on a large scale upon activation. Note: the shattering process may affect the user.]

[Eye of Plunder (Tier 3): targets one subject within the visual range to plunder, taking away one of their core abilities. If the plundered ability is a soul skill, it does not occupy the user's own soul skill slots.]

Huo Yuhao could not help but raise his eyes for a glance. The Eye of Plunder was practically a regular visitor for him here, and the reason he had not chosen it before was simply because a random person's random ability within his field of view was far too erratic, prone to the awkward situation of triggering a plunder only to pull out some useless ability.

Now that he could designate the target and be certain it was a core ability, it was much better.

Adding to that, the previous two eyes were too useless. Not to mention that the Collapse Eye could affect himself, strong soul beasts could already speak human language anyway, and with weak ones, you would not get much intelligence out of them unless you asked weak soul beasts like Blue Silver Grass, but if he used Blue Silver Grass and the like for perception, Huo Yuhao's own Mental Detection ability was already enough.

Huo Yuhao had already listed it as one of the options, except he was somewhat curious at the same time as to why it did not specify left eye or right eye this time.

Filled with curiosity, Huo Yuhao did not make his eye choice first, but instead continued to look down.

[Blood-Qi Eye: deducts blood within the body in exchange for Soul Power. The blood-to-Soul Power ratio is one hundred to one.]

Huo Yuhao thought, Pure scam. You couldn't even get much Soul Power by draining yourself dry.

[Arrogance Eye: makes the opponent look down upon you.]

Huo Yuhao thought, ...The hypertension web-novel eye, huh?

Yet the final option made Huo Yuhao stop his playful banter-like inner complaints, causing him to widen his eyes instead.

[Ghost Eye (Single-Crashed Version): a crashed Ghost Eye that can neither trigger ghost resurrection within your body nor open more ghost eyes, granting you Ghost Domain, creating illusions, and providing spatial displacement abilities while isolating external interference.]

Huo Yuhao looked at the six eyes in the six-choose-two selection. Under these six options, the cards were practically laid face up on the table, and Huo Yuhao immediately chose the Ghost Eye and the Eye of Plunder.

The next moment, the Ghost Eye appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead, and a trace of chill immediately transmitted from Huo Yuhao's forehead into his brain.

That was a scarlet eye, cold and carrying an unhuman texture, with shadows flowing in the depths of its pupil.

As for the Eye of Plunder, it opened at the back of Huo Yuhao's neck while sharing vision with all the other eyes.

Huo Yuhao also possessed vision behind him for the first time, achieving a nearly three-hundred-and-sixty-degree line of sight.

Although relying on his spiritual power, Huo Yuhao had long been able to observe the situation behind him, having this Eye of Plunder made his control over the situation behind him much easier.

After all, many of Huo Yuhao's abilities required spiritual power to use, and saving a bit of spiritual power was always a good thing.

Beside the nearby pond, Huo Yuhao looked at his current image using the reflection of the pool water. On the front, six eyes were arranged in two rows of three, with a blood-red vertical eye opened right in the middle of his forehead.

Three more eyes had opened on his two arms, and if he turned around, he could also see a pale golden eye similarly opened on the back of his neck.

It really looked stranger and stranger the more he looked at it, except that because the various eyes flickered with different colors, a unique sense of coolness was mixed within the weirdness.

At least I don't have to worry about being treated as an Evil Soul Master this time; I'll just be dealt with directly as a soul beast instead, Huo Yuhao ridiculed in his heart, immediately closing the extra eyes on his body and casting his gaze upon the corpse of the Medusa.

Calculating that the time was still abundant, Huo Yuhao decided to wander around the vicinity first to see what existed around this Dou Ling Empire.

After all, one only had the right to speak after investigating. Huo Yuhao had not yet determined which path he would ultimately take, while his graduation time was basically fixed.

Because it was a crashed Ghost Eye, Huo Yuhao did not need to worry about ghosts reviving inside his body or any such absurd matters. He immediately used the Ghost Domain to quickly leave this garden without attracting anyone's attention.

He settled down in a medium-sized city within the Dou Ling Empire, casually found an inn that was quite famous locally, requested a room, and then ordered a few dishes in the private parlor.

Just as he was eating the dishes, Huo Yuhao heard a bustling noise drift over from the main hall outside the shop, so he instantly put down his chopsticks and listened attentively.

He saw that innkeeper complaining quite a bit to the head waiter who was greeting guests and seeing them off at the front, saying, "What were you thinking, I ask? Don't you know the big shots from the Shrek Inner Court have been investigating corrupt accounts of nobles in our city these past few days? Why didn't you know to reserve a private parlor for them?"

That head waiter said quite aggrievedly, "The person who just came in was covered in the dust of a journey, and the corners of their clothes even had bloodstains of unknown origin smeared on them. Even if they aren't a soul master, they must at least be a big-time mountain bandit, and not someone we can afford to provoke... It would be one thing if there were no private parlors left, but if we had one and didn't give it to them, then..."

Huo Yuhao checked the hem of his own clothes. Sure enough, a drop of somewhat pinkish blood was dripping there—precisely what had splashed onto his body earlier when he was tearing apart the Medusa.

That head waiter could even notice such minute details, meaning he was no ordinary person either. It was just a pity he had run into such times, unable to offend either side and only able to suffer grievances from both.

Huo Yuhao did not want to quibble with those people from the Inner Court who held their noses in the air either, so he immediately pressed his hands on the table and prepared to stand up, partly to accommodate the innkeeper and keep them from being put in a difficult spot, when he heard a female voice enter the shop.

"I say, Boss, do you have a private parlor or not? If not, we'll eat somewhere else."

Huo Yuhao slowly lowered his hands. Although he was not very familiar with this female voice, he sensed another familiar aura.

That was the Ice Seed he had previously left inside Ma Xiaotao. At this moment, that seed had already sprouted, completely sucking dry the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body as its own nourishment, and had begun connecting with Ma Xiaotao's brain.

Even Ma Xiaotao's temper had become much gentler during the growth process of this ice-type seed.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao walked out from the private parlor, having already changed into the uniform of the Shrek Academy Outer Court. Seeing the school uniform on Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao's gaze flicked, and she immediately spoke in an even gentler voice, "You're also a Shrek student... I remember now, you're this session's champion Huo Yuhao, right?"

Huo Yuhao lowered his head to take a look at his school uniform, then nodded at her...
