Upon hearing the effects of the two Soul Skill, Mu En's face turned solemn.

"Yuhao, Xiaotao, from now on, you must not reveal the devouring effect of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill. In your daily lives, just show the restriction effect, otherwise you may become the target of everyone on the entire continent."

"Understood, Elder Mu En, I understand."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Mu En nodded. He knew that Huo Yuhao was not the kind of person who didn't know what was important.

"Yuhao, this is the information we obtained from that person."

As he spoke, Mu En handed a blood-stained notebook to Huo Yuhao.

It took them a lot of effort to capture those two yesterday. Shrek Academy even used their powerful Great Memory Restoration Technique more than once.

The interrogation of the two was finally completed in the early hours of this morning.

Huo Yuhao took the blood-stained notebook, opened it, and examined it carefully.

Ma Xiaotao curiously leaned her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, secretly peeking at the information in the notebook.

Seeing this scene, Di Qiu'er, who was standing at the door of the conference room, was also quite displeased. Not to be outdone, she leaned her head on Huo Yuhao's other shoulder.

"What are you thanking everyone for?!"

Feeling the pressure on his shoulders, Huo Yuhao's eyes twitched. He then ignored the two of them and focused his attention on the notebook in front of him.

The first page of the notebook features a burly man dressed in armor.

"Dai Li, a subordinate of Dai Yueheng, the Eldest Young Master the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, possesses Soul Power level of 72. This time, she was instructed by Dai Yueheng to monitor whether the seven people's operation was completed."

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected his nominal older brother to get involved, even if he hadn't directly offered any help.

"Hmph! I knew Dai Yueheng was a scoundrel. He actually knew Yuhao was going to be assassinated and didn't report it."

Ma Xiaotao, who was behind her, also finished reading this page of information and expressed her dissatisfaction upon seeing that Dai Yueheng had also written on it.

Huo Yuhao ignored Ma Xiaotao behind him and continued reading the next piece of intelligence.

The next page is about the Old Fourth who became half-human and half-snake.

"Fu Gen, a level 77 Soul Saint the Martial Soul of the Mysterious Water Black Serpent. The Old Fourth of the Seven Monsters of Heaven's Turmoil, it is said that he and the other six took jobs privately. However, it is speculated that he may be working for the Killer Guild within the Heavenly Soul Empire."

Upon seeing the words "Killer Guild," Huo Yuhao immediately understood that the Duchess had likely used her connections within the Zhu Family.

The next piece of information in the notebook made Huo Yuhao frown.

"Based on Fu Gen's corrupted Martial Soul and his threats to Huo Yuhao, there might be a powerful Evil Soul Master behind him, or even a powerful Evil Soul Master organization."

"Evil Soul Master?"

Upon seeing the contents of the notebook, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, Evil Soul Master."

When Fu Gen was mentioned, Yan Shaozhe's face darkened.

"Teacher, weren't the people behind him interrogated?"

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Yan Shaozhe's expression turned even more unpleasant.

What Ma Xiaotao didn't know was that Yan Shaozhe had orchestrated last night's interrogation. Just as he was about to question the person behind Fu Gen, Fu Gen's shriveled body suddenly swelled up and exploded right in front of Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe couldn't dodge in time and was drenched in a bloody mess by Fu Gen's colorful internal organs.

Seeing her Teacher's expression, Ma Xiaotao realized that she had said the wrong thing.

She took a step back, shielding Huo Yuhao in front of her.

"Then, senior, what should we do with this Dai Yueheng?"

After silently reviewing the intelligence behind Huo Yuhao, Di Qiu'er addressed Mu En.

She had a very bad impression of Dai Yueheng. From the moment he rushed up to her, she learned that his family had a grudge against Yuhao, and now he was directly involved in the murder plot against Yuhao.

Upon hearing this, Mu En turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao.

"Child, you are the victim this time. You tell the story."

"Dai Yueheng is dismissed, and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion will pay compensation."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's conditions, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.

They hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to mention this trivial condition so casually.

That's all?

Before Mu En could speak, Yan Shaozhe to the side, showed a look of surprise.

If it were him, he would definitely make the Duke's Estate hand over the mastermind behind this plan. At the very least, he would keep Dai Yueheng at Shrek.

"Yes, let them bleed first this time! I'll settle this score at next year's Continental Soul Master Tournament."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Mu En's eyes deepened.

"Okay, the child will do as instructed."

"Xuan Zi, you may go!"

"Yes, Junior Uncle!"

After giving instructions to Xuan Zi, Mu En waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave.

"Xiaotao, wait a moment."

After the meeting ended, seeing that Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao had left, Yan Shaozhe called out from behind with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Teacher, is there something you need?"

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's slightly impatient tone, Yan Shaozhe felt like he was about to turn to stone. His little darling was already taking on the shape of Huo Yuhao.

"Xiaotao, you're already level 70. Do you want Teacher to help you get a Spirit Ring?"

"Really? Teacher, I..."

Just as Ma Xiaotao was about to agree, she felt Huo Yuhao tug at the hem of her clothes.

She turned her head and saw Huo Yuhao shaking his head at her.

"Teacher, I... I think I'll wait a little longer!"

Yan Shaozhe frowned upon seeing the interaction between the two.

"Yuhao, is there a problem?"

"Dean Yan, Sister Xiaotao's Soul Power Level has increased too rapidly. If she were to acquire Spirit Ring now, her foundation might become unstable!"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Yan Shaozhe suddenly understood. Yes, Xiaotao Tao's Soul Power Level had increased by almost five levels in just over three months.

It would be better to let him consolidate his cultivation.

"Alright, then go and consolidate your cultivation now."

"Okay, Teacher."

When the three arrived at their residence in the Sea God's Pavilion, Ma Xiaotao asked Huo Yuhao with some curiosity:

"Yuhao, why did you stop the Teacher from getting me Spirit Ring? Although my Soul Power has increased quite a bit in the past few months, it's still not at the level of being superficial."

When Ma Xiaotao asked, Huo Yuhao took her hand and said solemnly:

"Sister Xiaotao, I want to find a suitable Spirit Ring for you regarding your Seventh Soul Ring."

"You? You're so young but so clever! Then I'll have to leave my Seventh Soul Ring to you, little brother Yuhao ~"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ma Xiaotao chuckled and pinched Huo Yuhao's cheek before turning and going back to her room.

However, she didn't take Huo Yuhao's words to heart. In her opinion, Huo Yuhao might have considerable power behind him, but he couldn't possibly be as skilled as Shrek Academy had been researching Soul Beast for over ten thousand years.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao return to her room, Di Qiu'er finally spoke:

"You want her to absorb the Soul Spirit as well?"
