Douluo Continent: Newcomer Yuhao, thank you Lan Xuanyu

Chapter 135 Zhou Yi: "I have rendered meritorious service to Shrek Academy! I have shed blood for Shrek Academy!"

I feel like I owe more and more favors.

Huo Yuhao shifted his body, immersing his nose in the hot water, and thought to himself as he blew bubbles.

The Star Emperor Hotel provided these participating team members with high-level VIP rooms, which were indeed very nice. For example, each member of the Shrek team had a single room, and each room had a bathroom and shower room, as well as a very comfortable bathtub.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then lay down on his back to immerse his body in the hot water.

It feels really good, but after a while you start to feel a little breathless.

After Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, he stood up from the bathtub, took out his storage belt hanging on the hook, and took out the things he had picked up at the auction.

Although there is still a Shrek Academy match tomorrow, it is only a round-robin tournament, so Huo Yuhao doesn't need to participate anymore. If Bei Bei and the others can't even beat this one, they might as well just go home.

There were two boxes; one contained antique storage coins, and the other contained the Gold of Life, which was the Soul-Devouring Blade.

Huo Yuhao examined the antique gold coin and could tell that the Douluo Continent must have had a period of popularity for soul tools. For example, the soul tool array on it was very different from the soul tool arrays from the Sun Moon Empire.

As for why it eventually disappeared—I guess we should ask that second-generation sea god, or perhaps an even earlier deity.

"Don't worry about that for now, we'll study it later"—thinking this, Huo Yuhao put the antique gold coins back into his storage belt, and then took out the infamous Soul-Devouring Blade.

Yes, Huo Yuhao was holding it in his hand.

This thing's fearsome reputation is well-deserved. It doesn't seem like a small carving knife, but rather an endless black hole, with an extremely cold and sinister aura accompanied by a terrifying and fierce energy drilling into his body and mind.

Ordinary people would have been corrupted by this evil energy long ago, but this person was a little different.

Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? — Thinking this, a golden and black aura emanated from Huo Yuhao, and his entire demeanor changed drastically. His originally fair skin became even paler and bloodless, and his hair turned black and grew longer, hanging down from the back of his head to his waist.

The third martial soul, Holy Demon Angel.

The slender fingers gripping the Soul-Devouring Blade tightened their grip, and a purplish-black aura began to envelop the blade. As if encountering some natural enemy, the Soul-Devouring Blade emitted a series of mournful, piercing cries.

Huo Yuhao sneered, "So you know fear now?" Then he increased the force.

Why would this Soul-Devouring Blade devour its master? And why did it kill a total of thirty-seven masters?

Because its first owner, that genius evil soul master, who was also a level nine soul master, placed a wisp of his own soul on this Soul Devouring Blade and cast an evil curse that would lead people to evil.

But this kind of thing won't happen with Huo Yuhao, not only because he inherited the mantle of the Necromancer Saint, Ilex, but more importantly, because his third martial soul, the Holy Demon Angel, also wields the ultimate darkness!

In other words, this Soul-Devouring Blade is a small evil that manifests as a great evil.

Huo Yuhao had no interest in purifying this remnant soul of the evil soul master. He wanted to use the power of extreme darkness and the soul-devouring spider king's soul spirit to devour this wisp of soul and learn the knowledge about soul tools left in this wisp of soul from the ninth-level soul master.

Human hearts can be righteous or evil, good or evil, but knowledge cannot. Most importantly, Huo Yuhao really wanted to see how people three thousand years ago perceived level nine soul masters.

The whole process was very brief. The black aura on the Soul-Devouring Blade condensed into a ferocious face in the air and emitted a roar that seemed to disturb people's minds.

Huo Yuhao tilted his head with interest, examining the dark face that was breathing on him.

"He even refined this wisp of his soul into a vengeful spirit—he's only managed to survive until now thanks to the powerful life force within the Gold of Life."

"Perhaps you should leave."

Suddenly, a somewhat transparent, dark green spider appeared at Huo Yuhao's feet and pounced, swallowing the wisp of vengeful spirit whole.

The spider swayed its body smugly before returning to Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, mobilized his mental energy, and carefully read through the knowledge stored in the soul of this level nine soul master.

The Soul-Devouring Blade itself changed from its original black color to a cyan crystal-like appearance, radiating a clear, watery cyan light without a trace of impurity.

A level nine soul master's knowledge is undoubtedly vast, not to mention that this level nine soul master is a recognized genius in history. Even if the original owner was an evil soul master, his ingenious ideas on soul tools are extremely useful to Huo Yuhao.

And so, Huo Yuhao stood there until dawn before reluctantly opening his eyes.

After clearing his somewhat throbbing brain, he lay back down in the now-cooled bathtub, his gaze towards the Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand softening slightly. "I've truly learned a lot, Senior Rogno."

Just as Huo Yuhao had predicted, the vengeful spirit possessed all the memories, from level six to level nine soul tools, and in great detail. It could be said that Huo Yuhao no longer needed to go to Mingde Hall to learn; once his cultivation reached a certain level, he could try to create level nine soul tools himself.

But simply knowing this knowledge is not enough; you also need to put it into practice.

No wonder people say that scientific excavation relies on archaeology; who would have thought that this person's way of thinking was so advanced?

This evil soul master and level nine soul master is named Rogno, and he is actually very likely to become the first level ten soul master.

However, the evil spirit master's actions eventually brought him retribution, leading to his downfall when he saw a glimmer of hope for success and was subsequently attacked by the Shrek Academy's supervisory group.

His last research project in his later years was to entrust his soul consciousness to a soul tool, making the soul tool bound to the soul master's life, and allowing it to be nurtured within his own body. He called it his natal soul tool.

Because he discovered that no matter how he adjusted the structure of the level nine soul tool, or how meticulously he carved the core magic array, the upper limit of the soul tool seemed to be locked at level nine, and he could not break through level ten.

Finally, he understood that because the quality of the materials used in the soul tool was subpar, none of the rare metals available could withstand the impact of a level 10 soul master, which is equivalent to a Super Douluo or higher.

To this end, he conducted many experiments, capturing many people and splitting their souls, then placing the souls on soul tools, and then having the soul masters fuse with the soul tools, using the soul masters' flesh and blood to nourish the quality of the soul tools.

Of course, he also experimented with his own soul, which was cut into many parts. If it weren't for the life-gold he accidentally obtained to nourish his body, he would have died long ago.

This guy is ruthless too — but Huo Yuhao felt that it was unnecessary to use this method to improve the quality of the soul tool.

For example, the [Douluo World] terminal that Baili Du gave him looks like a soul tool, but its quality is definitely over ten, and it probably wasn't nurtured with his own blood and qi.

Regarding the material issue, he had previously obtained some information from Lan Xuanyu's soul search, which seemed to involve using a technique called forging to enhance the quality of metals.

There's no rush to do this yet; we can do it once things have completely settled down.

Now—

Huo Yuhao took out the piece of Living Gold he had obtained from the Golden Tortoiseshell from his spiritual sea, along with the carving knife version of Living Gold he currently possessed.

The power of ultimate light was released, and under the impetus of Huo Yuhao's soul power, amidst beams of vibrant green light, the two pieces of living gold slowly transformed and merged.

Light is naturally the best catalyst for life, and the two pieces of living gold quickly fused together, turning into a small sword the size of a throwing knife.

Gently reaching out to grasp the small sword, Huo Yuhao felt a slight tremor emanating from its blade.

Huo Yuhao had already experienced the cleansing and marrow-refining effects of the Life Gold before, and this time he was fortunate enough to experience it again, and the effect was even greater than the first time. This vast life energy actually stimulated his blood and qi to be further enhanced.

Huo Yuhao slowly closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the changes within himself.

"What are you doing?! Let me go! I'm Shrek Academy's teacher, you can't treat me like this!"

Zhou Yi was dragged by two burly Soul Saints, one on each side, toward the execution platform in the city center square. Her human skin mask had already fallen off during the shoving, revealing her original young and beautiful appearance.

But her panicked voice and the ferocity and fear in her expression completely ruined her beauty.

The area was filled with students, parents, and family elders or stewards, including many of Zhou Yi's former students. However, not a single student looked at Zhou Yi with any affection for her as a teacher; they only felt the thrill of revenge.

"I've done so much for Shrek Academy! I've shed blood for Shrek Academy! You can't treat me like this! Aaaaaahh ...

When Zhou Yi was pressed onto that huge guillotine, she screamed incoherently, her hair disheveled, and her whole body trembling.

She knew that this time the college leadership was serious.

She had been arrested a week earlier. The people who came were the two vice deans of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department, two super Douluo, Qian Duoduo and Cai Meier.

The two men immediately threw the witnesses and evidence at Zhou Yi's face, then destroyed her soul power and martial soul, and imprisoned her in Shrek Academy's underground prison.

The frequent expulsions and excessive punishments of students, coupled with the rigorous physical training that caused students to develop hidden illnesses, led to countless complaints from students and parents.

Many students hated her to the core, and some even went so far as to sell their entire fortunes to buy her hands and feet.

Zhou Yi did all of these things herself, so how could she not know? But Fan Yu used her authority to suppress them all. She still did whatever she wanted, torturing students as she pleased and expelling them as she should, in order to improve her own college entrance examination pass rate.

It can be said that during the time that this famous teacher Zhou taught, he offended almost every family or force that he could and could not offend. It was only because of Shrek Academy's prestige that these forces dared not make a move. In addition, Zhou Yi would stay in Shrek City during holidays and not go out, so they could not find an opportunity. Otherwise, Zhou Yi would have been chopped into mincemeat long ago.

Although Mu En spent his days lying in the sun at the entrance of the freshmen dormitory, his powerful perception as a Limit Douluo allowed him to clearly sense everything that happened within Shrek Academy.

He naturally knew about Zhou Yiqian's affairs, but Mu En couldn't act rashly.

The Spirit System is rife with infighting, and pulling out one radish brings out the rest of the mud; the Soul Guidance System still needs Fan Yu, a genius level eight Soul Guidance Master, so Mu En can tolerate her for the time being. After all, for Shrek Academy, expelling a few students is not a big deal.

It wasn't until Xuanzi's team frequently encountered trouble, almost wiping out a generation of inner court disciples, and it seemed that Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao's hearts weren't with Shrek Academy, that Mu En truly felt that if Shrek Academy didn't reform its system, it might really be doomed.

However, this kind of radical self-rescue is risky, and if not handled carefully, it could shake the true foundation of Shrek Academy.

Are there deeper issues? Yes, definitely, and quite a few. For example, even Mu En doesn't know exactly how many people Fan Yu bribed. Mu En also doesn't know whether his four disciples received any gifts they shouldn't have received.

Therefore, executing Zhou Yi was a warning to those behind the scenes, a way to make an example of them and tell them to behave themselves in the future.

"Dean Qian, Dean Qian, I beg you, please release Zhou Yi! She—she doesn't deserve to die!"

In a corner below the stands, Fan Yu knelt at Qian Duoduo's feet, kowtowing frantically and crying uncontrollably.

Although Zhou Yi made many mistakes, they were still husband and wife!

But Mu En was determined to reform the system this time, so he naturally didn't let him off the hook. Fan Yu was also dismissed and investigated, his soul power was sealed, and he was awaiting his fate.

None of the people he had previously bribed, such as Du Weilun, the head of the outer academy, and Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the inner academy of the martial spirit department, showed up this time; not a single one came to help him.

The fact that he was even allowed to be here is already an act of mercy. He came to see his wife one last time, and no one will stop him.

Qian Duoduo sighed, shook her head, and helped Fan Yu up. "Fan Yu, you should understand just how big a mistake your Zhou Yi made. You've covered for her enough before, and you've done your duty."

"This time, Elder Mu is very determined. Not only has Elder Xuan been imprisoned, but even Yan Shaozhe has been dismissed from his post—even if you beg me, I am powerless to help—"

Sitting in a wheelchair on the platform, Mu En remained expressionless, but his powerful cultivation as a Limit Douluo allowed him to clearly hear Qian Duoduo's words, which he had deliberately concealed by sealing off the surrounding space with his soul power.

Moon exhaled heavily through his nose and closed his eyes.

As they were talking, Judge Shi Xing, the city lord of Shrek City, had finished reading Zhou Yi's charges and then announced the execution.

Fan Yu crawled forward, crying, "No—no—!"

The enormous guillotine fell—

Clean and efficient, a clean cut to both ends, even Louis XVI found it very annoying.

Zhou Yi's head just fell off with a thud, her face still showing an unyielding resentment.

Fan Yu knew that she was doomed too.

"Aaaaaahh ...

The sound did not come from Fan Yu, but from the audience below the stage, the students who had been persecuted by Zhou Yi and their elders.

They rushed forward in a swarm, pushing past the guards.

They used their martial spirit to tear him apart, slashed him with knives, smashed him with hammers—they used every imaginable method to inhumanely dismember Zhou Yi, the renowned teacher.
