Killing the Heart and Soul, Fortune Levels

"You are not welcome here, get lost at once!"

Cai Mei'er, who was taking care of Yan Shaozhe, sensed Huang Jinxu's arrival and the anger in her heart instantly ignited.

The moment she saw this fellow, she wanted nothing more than to rush over and fight him to the death.

If not for him, how could Shaozhe have fallen to his current state?

Therefore, even before Huang Jinxu drew close, Cai Mei'er directly used Spiritual Power sound transmission to drive him away.

Faced with Cai Mei'er's anger, Huang Jinxu turned a deaf ear, continuing forward as if he had perceived nothing at all.

"What on earth are you here to do?"

Sensing that Huang Jinxu had quickly arrived at their dwelling, Cai Mei'er felt a trace of panic.

Given Shaozhe's current condition, who knew what would happen if he saw Huang Jinxu?

She absolutely could not let Shaozhe see him.

"Tell Yan Shaozhe that for the sake of Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year glory and the stability of the Martial Soul Department, he must have all the Martial Soul Department's information prepared by today."

"Of course, you can also choose not to tell him, though I will just make another trip."

Leaving behind these words, Huang Jinxu strolled away unhurriedly.

Leaving behind Cai Mei'er, whose heart brimmed with fury yet whose expression she still dared not easily reveal.

Killing the heart and soul.

Naked, blatant killing of the heart and soul.

Once these words reached Shaozhe's ears, it would be forcing him to his death.

Cai Mei'er knew Yan Shaozhe's personality very well; to make him help his mortal enemy was something his capacity and temperament could never accept. Yet if the ten-thousand-year glory of Shrek Academy and the stability of the Martial Soul Department were mentioned, Shaozhe would certainly do it.

Only, doing so would amount to working for his mortal enemy, and afterward, Shaozhe would likely be so filled with suppressed grievance that he would spit blood on the spot.

Never mind Yan Shaozhe's current condition, even had he suffered no injuries and still possessed his cultivation, Cai Mei'er would not have dared let him know of such a matter.

With no other choice, she could only go and resolve this affair herself.

Shortly after, Cai Mei'er found Ma Xiaotao and asked her to help look after Yan Shaozhe, while Cai Mei'er herself ran all about, helping Huang Jinxu gather the required information along with various handover procedures and intelligence.

She was genuinely terrified of Huang Jinxu appearing before Yan Shaozhe.

That very afternoon, Cai Mei'er delivered all the information to Huang Jinxu's place.

Seeing the murderous glare Cai Mei'er directed at him, Huang Jinxu remained completely unruffled.

He had originally gone to see Yan Shaozhe simply to ask about a few matters, but since Cai Mei'er had been so insolent with her words, he would just keep her busy and have her do his work for him.

He quickly reviewed the various documents concerning the Martial Soul Department.

Upon finishing them, Huang Jinxu clicked his tongue in wonder.

This position truly possessed astonishingly lucrative perks. If he so wished, he could easily embezzle massive amounts of resources from the various loopholes in the regulations without being discovered.

However, such resources held no great utility anymore for an existence of his realm.

"Allocate two portions of core disciple resources to one's own daughter, and then arrange an opportunity to enter the Golden Tree Hollow for cultivation..."

Before even taking office, Huang Jinxu had already begun using his power for personal gain.

With power and convenience in hand, it would be foolish not to use them.

The most crucial point was that these consumed Shrek Academy's resources, not his own.

He then perused several other items, gaining a rough understanding of a dean's responsibilities.

Comparatively speaking, the dean did not need to do much unless some major matter or important occasion arose that required their presence.

Of course, if he so wished, he could appear within any management tier at any moment and meddle in any affair, rendering his authority entirely unrestrained and formidable.

Regarding this, Huang Jinxu harbored no intentions of enacting reforms or anything of the sort at Shrek Academy; having everyone conduct a self-inspection and write a self-statement form would suffice. When the time came, directly inputting all the data into Brain Domain Development would allow him to verify the answers he desired.

Where was the need for such trouble?

Yet he, this dean, truly had one matter that required handling right at present.

That was wrapping up the affair with the Clear Sky Sect.

Thinking of this, Huang Jinxu decided to take action, and it just so happened to be a good chance to go and catch a glimpse of this daughter of the God King.

Though they had met previously, Mu En had been present at the time, so he had not used his Illusory Moon Star Eyes to inspect Wang Dong's specific condition.

Right now was the perfect opportunity to take a look and make contact.

He was rather curious to witness how the daughter of a God King fared in terms of fortune.

With the thought came immediate action. By the time Huang Jinxu arrived at the academy's teaching building, all the classes were still in session.

To Huang Jinxu's slight surprise, the academy had actually arranged for Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to be in Mu Jin's class.

As for the class formerly led by Zhou Yi, another teacher from the academy now instructed it, and even those few new students expelled by Zhou Yi had been invited back by the academy.

Before even drawing close to the classroom, Huang Jinxu had already activated his Illusory Moon Star Eyes.

"This fortune... I never expected an unexpected bonus."

Huang Jinxu walked over near the classroom windows, yet rather than looking at Wang Dong first, his gaze fell upon someone else within the room.

Xiao Xiao!

This little girl actually bore national fortune.

"The destiny of an Empress Consort, is it?"

Huang Jinxu looked at the three illusory Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons suspended above Xiao Xiao's head, along with a Rainbow Phoenix coiled beside the cauldrons, and he clicked his tongue in wonder.

Through his years of research and exploration into fortune, he had roughly divided it into four tiers.

Ordinary Soul Masters, Fortune Like Smoke.

Virtually all Soul Masters bore a measure of fortune to a greater or lesser degree. With diligent cultivation and the accumulation of knowledge, this smoky fortune lingering around their bodies might condense slightly, but it remained restricted to that stage. Lacking major changes or the assistance of others, one's lifelong fortune would stall at this phase, or even gradually dissipate due to advancing age or committing erroneous deeds.

Geniuses chosen from a hundred, Fortune Like a Rainbow.

Geniuses at this level already possessed the opportunity to alter their fate. Should they manage to seize an opportunity, they stood a chance to soar straight up into the sky and thus ascend to a grander stage.

Tengoku chosen from ten thousand, Fortune Manifestation.

Existences like these possessed top-tier origins, backgrounds, and Martial Souls alike.

Whether it was Bei Bei within Shrek Academy or those two little fellows of the Sun Moon Empire's Hongchen Siblings, all were such existences. Their fortune had already condensed into certain shapes based on their personal traits, and Xiao Xiao inside the classroom was a standout among them.

Only existences possessing fortune at this tier were qualified to sit at the table and seize the chance to carve up the world's spoils.

The Soul Master Tournament, held once every five years, appeared to be a display of various factions' foundations, but Huang Jinxu, who had observed it several times and experienced it twice, knew very well that what they fought for was far more than a so-called championship; it was fortune.

Particularly the battle for the convergence of fortune that occurred once every ten thousand years.

As for the fourth kind, it referred to existences like Huo Yuhao.

Heaven-Covering Fortune, Plane's Favored One.

Huo Yuhao of this era and the Hades Ha Luosa of ten thousand years later were both existences of this sort.
