Goodbye, Sister

As the Holy King's almost merciless voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind once more, the surrounding scenery changed again, and Huo Yuhao returned to the space where he had previously met the Evil Eye God King.

This immediately brought Huo Yuhao, who had just been immersed in being insulted by Ling Luochen, to his senses. He quickly shook his head to calm himself down, since completing the assessment was the most important thing for him right now.

After calming down, Huo Yuhao looked at the location of the Evil Eye Holy King again. However, to Huo Yuhao's surprise, there were two floating figures on the left and right sides of the Evil Eye Holy King.

On the left is a beautiful woman with blonde hair and a yellowish complexion. Although she appears frail, this does not diminish her charm. On the right is a beautiful girl with short blue hair.

This caused Huo Yuhao to exclaim in surprise, "Mom?!? Sister?!"

That's right, the people on either side of the Evil Eye Holy King are Huo Yun'er, Huo Yuhao's mother, and Ling Luochen, who holds the position of an older sister in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Both of them had their eyes closed, like princesses under a sleeping spell. Then, the Evil Eye Holy King spoke, "The test officially begins now. These two are the most important people in your life, but at the same time, they are also your weaknesses."

"If you want to inherit my power, you must kill one of them to pass my initial test."

"Wait!" Huo Yuhao hurriedly shouted, "Let's not talk about my sister for now, but didn't my mother pass away a long time ago?"

"Hmph! Couldn't you wait until he finished speaking?" The Evil Eye Holy King looked at Huo Yuhao with disdain and said, "The Huo Yun'er and Ling Luochen in front of you are not their true forms, but beings created from your memories. Therefore, once you kill one of them, you will forever forget everything about that person and will never remember anything about them again."

"Forgetting"

There is a saying that a person dies three times in their life. The first death is biological death, which is the moment of stopping breathing.

The second death is social death, which is the moment a person is buried.

The final, third death is oblivion. Once a person is forgotten by everyone, their existence in this world ceases to exist; that is true death.

To be fair, Huo Yuhao didn't want to forget either of them. His mother, Huo Yun'er, was undoubtedly his motivation to continue cultivating. Moreover, he was the only person in the world who would feel sad for Huo Yun'er 'Huo Yuhao experiences. Therefore, if he chose to forget his mother, no one in the world would stand up for the injustice she suffered!

Although Ling Luochen's impression of Huo Yuhao Ling Luochen due to that rampage, since Huo Yuhao killed many Shrek students during that incident.

But could Huo Yuhao truly blame Ling Luochen for treating him this way? No, after all, he knew that in Shrek's eyes Evil Soul Master were synonymous with Evil. Even though many Evil Soul Master had been persecuted by higher-ranking nobles before becoming Evil Soul Master, Shrek would not change their prejudice against Evil Soul Master.

After all, Shrek Academy itself represents the nobility, and this so-called number one academy on the continent prioritizes its own interests.

Although Shrek Academy admits commoners, aside from the question of whether one can obtain a recommendation letter from the city lord, even if one does manage to get one and successfully enroll, most will quickly fall behind the noble children due to a lack of resources. Only those commoners with exceptional talent can gain a foothold at Shrek; the rest will be ruthlessly expelled by Shrek's rules.

For someone like Huo Yuhao, who has no one backing him, perhaps he was never meant to be with the Shrek Academy from the very beginning.

Shrek Academy only trains those who are already very strong, making them stronger even faster, while ignoring those with less talent, like Huo Yuhao, who truly need attention and guidance.

Therefore, Shrek Academy may be the best academy on the continent, but that's not because of their superior educational abilities, but simply because they take in most of the best students and leave the less promising ones to other academies.

Therefore, no matter how good Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen's relationship is, the difference in their ideologies means that they will inevitably have conflicts sooner or later, and ultimately they will each go their own way.

Since we're bound to separate sooner or later due to conflicts, what difference does it make whether we do it sooner or later?

Since the other party had already shown hostility towards him during their last meeting, if forgetting the other party could grant him power, then Huo Yuhao wouldn't show any lingering attachment.

Having thought this through, Huo Yuhao finally made his own decision, and with a melancholy expression, he turned to the Evil Eye Holy King and softly said, "I choose to forget Ling Luochen."

These words were a welcome to Ling Luochen's presence before Huo Yuhao. The Evil Eye Holy King then said, "Since you've made the decision to forget her, then you must personally erase this illusion. As mentioned before, this illusion is your very memory of this woman; once erased, you will forget everything about her."

Huo Yuhao simply nodded in response. An ice blade appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand, and then a flash of light appeared as the phantom Ling Luochen landed on the ground.

As Huo Yuhao realized his memories were fading, he slowly said, "Goodbye, sister."

Having passed the First Trial of the Holy King Trials, Huo Yuhao's fate once again embarks on an unknown path.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Cult, a girl in a dirty, icy blue dress led some students in light green school uniforms to evade pursuit by the Holy Spirit Cult.

While on the run, the girl couldn't help but recall what had happened in the dungeon. She had witnessed her once close younger brother fall into the trap of becoming an Evil Soul Master and begin to slaughter countless innocent lives.

The girl was shocked by her brother's appearance. It was also the first time in her life that she had felt the fear of death. After all, her Soul Power had been sealed at that time, and if the other party wanted to kill her, she would have no way to resist.

This caused her to shout many hurtful things at the other person out of excessive fear, but then she discovered that in the chaos, the jailer's key had somehow appeared at her feet.

Using the jailer's key, the girl took advantage of the jailer's inattention to remove everyone's handcuffs, then instigated a riot in the dungeon. The girl also took the opportunity to take herself and the Shrek members away.

Looking at the pursuers chasing them in the distance, the girl not only had the thought of running away, but also felt a little guilty towards her younger brother whom she had known, and vowed in her heart that she would return for him in the future.
