Solio greeted Boss Li Haiyun politely.
Then, on behalf of his father and his family, he offered Li Haiyun his regards. He was very courteous.
"Good morning," Li Haiyun greeted him warmly.
"Boss Li, I'd like to buy one Mission Card. I want to take on another quest!" Solio said.
As he spoke, he took out a bulging Lucky Bag filled with ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
At the same time,
Solio couldn't help glancing at Li Haiyun's handsome face. The moment he did, he felt a wave of shame at his own appearance.
"Boss Li really is so handsome!" Solio thought enviously.
If he had a face that handsome, he wouldn't have any trouble winning the heart of the goddess he admired.
"All right." Li Haiyun nodded and replied warmly.
Then,
Li Haiyun took the Lucky Bag. The system counted the coins automatically, and there were indeed ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Then,
Li Haiyun lightly tapped the air, and one Mission Card floated in front of Solio.
"Send a wisp of Soul Power into the Mission Card, and you can accept a quest!" Li Haiyun reminded him.
"Mm, I understand!" Solio nodded firmly.
Then,
Solio held the Mission Card in his left hand and sent a wisp of Soul Power into it with his right.
In an instant,
Purple writing appeared on the Mission Card.
"I got another Purple Grade quest?!"
Solio blinked, feeling a little excited.
His first Purple Grade quest had earned him a five-hundred-year Spirit Bone.
His second Purple Grade quest had increased his looks by fifty percent.
Now Solio was eagerly anticipating what his quest reward would be.
At the same time, he hoped the quest wouldn't be too bizarre or difficult.
Quest Grade: [Purple Grade] Quest: [Beat someone up. As the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion, you are the embodiment of justice. Recently, some troublesome Soul Masters have appeared in Suotuo City, and they urgently need you to step in and teach them a lesson. Use the quest item to beat up a Soul Master named Ma Hongjun!] Quest Type: [Public] Quest Reward: [Random Black Grade Reward] Quest Item: [God-Grade Urea Bag] Quest Hint 1: [Ma Hongjun is a student at Shrek Academy in Suotuo City, with the rank of Soul Grandmaster. He believes that a Soul Master who never causes trouble is a mediocrity. His usual haunts are Shrek Academy, the chicken coop, and the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City.] Quest Hint 2: [The quest item "God-Grade Urea Bag" can only be used on Ma Hongjun. It is a treasure that cannot be burned through by raging flames, and that no one can struggle free from. Put the urea bag over your target to rob him of his sight and drastically reduce his combat strength. The quest item will disappear automatically once the quest is complete.] Quest Hint 3: [There is no time limit. It would be best to beat up Ma Hongjun without anyone noticing. Otherwise, you will invite a great deal of trouble.]
Reading the contents of the Mission Card,
Solio froze.
He hadn't expected his quest to be to beat someone up.
And he had to use the quest item, the "God-Grade Urea Bag," to beat up Ma Hongjun without anyone noticing.
If anything went wrong, it could even bring him a great deal of trouble.
"This quest is pretty interesting!"
Solio licked his lips, sensing that it could be a little tricky.
However,
As the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion in Suotuo City, Solio was arrogant and overbearing toward everyone except Boss Li Haiyun. He didn't take anyone else seriously.
He thought beating up Ma Hongjun would be easy.
"There's no time limit. When I get back, I'll have someone look into Ma Hongjun's background at Shrek Academy!"
Solio's narrow eyes gleamed with determination. He was going to complete this quest properly.
Then he would claim his random Purple Grade reward.
Li Haiyun heard the voice that appeared in his mind and paused briefly.
He hadn't expected this quest to send Solio after Ma Hongjun.
It had even given him a quest item, the "God-Grade Urea Bag."
"The God-Grade Urea Bag is a real treasure. It can't be burned through by raging flames, no one can struggle free from it, and it can rob its target of sight while drastically reducing his combat strength!"
"It looks like Ma Hongjun is in for a rough time!"
Li Haiyun glanced at the determination in Solio's narrow eyes and thought to himself.
At the same time,
He felt that this quest was a good one.
Ma Hongjun was a lecherous little fatty who loved causing trouble and picking on the weak.
Li Haiyun had no fondness for him at all.
It was all the Mission Card's doing.
Li Haiyun merely felt that Ma Hongjun deserved what was coming to him.
"Boss Li, I got a quest!" Solio told Li Haiyun excitedly.
"Really? Congratulations!" Li Haiyun replied calmly.
He went on, "Boss Li, do you want to know what my quest is? I can tell you!"
"Uh, all right." Li Haiyun didn't refuse.
Solio thought sharing the quest with Boss Li Haiyun would be a way of showing goodwill.
So he quickly handed the Mission Card to Boss Li Haiyun to read.

After reading the contents of the Mission Card, Li Haiyun said warmly, "You'll need to put some thought into this quest. I hope you can complete it smoothly!"
"Mm-hmm!" Solio nodded politely. "I'll do my best to complete the quest properly!"
Then,
Solio said goodbye to Li Haiyun. "Boss Li, I'm heading back. I won't keep you from your business any longer. If you have time, come visit my home. My family would all love to meet you!"
Hearing that, Li Haiyun's mouth twitched, but he still replied warmly, "All right. Bye."
Then,
Solio left.
Since the quest was public, when he got home, he went to discuss with his father how to complete it.
At the same time, they sent for their most experienced spy to investigate Shrek Academy and Ma Hongjun.
Meanwhile,
Inside a pitch-black cave,
Tang Hao's burly figure was hidden in the darkness. He sat with his eyes closed, meditating and recuperating.
A powerful aura seemed to emanate from him, affecting his surroundings.
As a result, not a single insect, bird, or beast moved in the dark, damp cave.
Suddenly,
Tang Hao opened his eyes, and a dazzling glint flashed from them.
At the same time, a powerful blast of air surged outward, kicking up clouds of dust.
"I've rested long enough. Time to get out and stretch my limbs!"
Tang Hao muttered under his breath. As he stood, a series of crackling sounds came from his body.
Tang Hao's injuries had not yet fully recovered.
But compared with the ordinary Soul Masters of Suotuo City,
His current strength was still more than enough to let him throw his weight around the city.
First, he flew out of the cave and hunted some nearby wild animals for a delicious meal.
Then he headed for Shrek Academy.
The sun blazed overhead.
Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were still running laps beneath the scorching sun.
These past few days, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu had all left.
But life went on as usual for Tang San and the others.
Every day, they either ran laps or took part in Soul Fighting at the Great Soul Arena.
As for Dai Mubai, he had injured his back on Zhu Zhuqing's powerful Spirit Bone Soul Skill and had also been taught a lesson by Ning Rongrong.
His injuries were still too serious for him to train or participate in Soul Fighting.
So Dai Mubai had taken on the role of supervisor, keeping Tang San and the other two in line during their training.
As for the Mission Card Shop, Oscar and the others had already mentioned it to Dean Flender.
Flender had scoffed at the idea, believing Ning Rongrong was making fun of them.
If there really were such a powerful shop, why would the Little Demoness Ning Rongrong kindly tell them about it?
Flender told Tang San, Oscar, and the others not to indulge in wishful thinking. They should keep their feet on the ground and focus on their training.
The heavy training, the remote countryside, and Dean Flender's disbelief
Had all slowed Tang San, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun's search for the Mission Card Shop.
Tang Hao remained hidden in the shadows and glanced at Tang San and the others as they trained.
Then Tang Hao's figure flickered. His vast spiritual power spread out, and he quickly found Flender.
At that moment,
Flender was in the Dean's Office at the academy, discussing something with Zhao Wuji.
Both of them looked dejected and deeply unhappy.
Tang Hao's burly form swayed, and he appeared outside the Dean's Office.
Thud, thud!
Tang Hao's heavy footsteps struck the ground, instantly drawing Flender and Zhao Wuji's attention.
"He's here!" Flender's hawk-like eyes suddenly narrowed.
"That formidable figure is here!" Zhao Wuji's expression turned grave.
Then Zhao Wuji shot up from his chair and opened the door.
"His Excellency Haotian... you're all right!"
Looking at Tang Hao's tall, straight figure, Zhao Wuji blurted out without thinking.
"What, Zhao Wuji? You want something to happen to me?" Tang Hao said in a deep voice, a wild, domineering aura faintly rising around him.
Zhao Wuji's expression changed, and he quickly shook his head. "No, no, I don't mean that. His Excellency Haotian, please come in, please!"
