When he heard this, Dai Huabin instantly panicked!
"Then what should we do, big brother? Otherwise, let's ask the family's Titled Douluo to kill Huo Yuhao!"
"Idiot." Dai Yueheng swung his arm sharply and slapped Dai Huabin across the face, sending him staggering, nearly falling to the ground.
"Last time, because you mobilized the troops without permission, you already pushed us to a dead end!"
"Do you even know how much pressure Mother had to bear to suppress that matter? Fortunately, Father wasn't at home at the time. Otherwise, do you think you'd still be studying at Shrek Academy?"
"And now, at this point, you're still thinking about mobilizing a Titled Douluo! Let me tell you — if we still want to kill Huo Yuhao, we can only rely on ourselves. And we absolutely cannot fail."
"If we fail again this time, the high-ranking members of Shrek will personally take our heads. Only death without evidence can allow us to stay alive in secret!"
"A dead genius — no one will speak for him!"
Dai Huabin fell silent. Although his eyes still burned with anger, at least he had calmed down.
Dai Yueheng's expression softened slightly.
"Alright, go back. Don't overthink it. If there's an opportunity, I'll take care of Huo Yuhao myself."
"Mm." Dai Huabin nodded in response and turned to leave.
However, the moment he turned around, fury instantly flashed across Dai Huabin's face.
"Damn Dai Yueheng. Counting on you? You'll never kill Huo Yuhao. Looks like I'll have to rely on myself!"
"Just wait, Huo Yuhao!"
As he muttered, Dai Huabin flipped his hand, revealing a token of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Early morning.Mist still hung over the gates of Shrek Academy as a group of people slowly walked out.
Jiang Nannan, dressed in simple cloth clothes, looked stunning as always.Huo Yuhao, in sleek black combat attire, looked sharp and ready.
Wang Dong was now slightly shorter than Huo Yuhao, but her figure was tall and slender, her refined temperament and lively, beautiful eyes making her stand out.
If you looked closely, she was already no different from a graceful young lady.
At this time, the sun had just peeked halfway above the eastern horizon. Leaving the academy so early could only mean one thing — it was the official and reserve teams of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
Leading them wasn't only Elder Xuan, but also their homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang Yan.
A dozen people walked in small groups. Elder Xuan still looked the same as always — messy hair, wine gourd, and chicken drumstick in hand.
His meals always seemed to swing between chicken legs and wings, and somehow he never got tired of it.
Maybe because he insisted on eating and drinking while walking, Elder Xuan didn't move fast — his pace was about the same as a normal person's.
This made the whole group feel surprisingly relaxed.
Given their physical strength, walking at a normal person's pace was practically a leisure stroll.
At this moment, at the back of the group, Huo Yuhao was surrounded by six people.
Such a shura field… even Huo Yuhao could hardly endure it.
And of course, the one closest to him was still Wang Dong.
Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with a hint of envy.
"Big Young Master Huo only pampers Wang Dong, huh? Guess the rest of us don't matter anymore~"
That single line stirred the group instantly. As soon as Xiao Xiao spoke, everyone turned their eyes toward Huo Yuhao, their questioning looks saying everything without words.
"Hahaha, Wang Dong and I are indeed close — we've got a deep bond of friendship!"
"What's this? Are you jealous, Xiao Xiao? Tell you what — give me your hand, I'll hold it."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's teasingly rogue invitation, Xiao Xiao's face turned bright red.
She pouted and shot back,"Hmph! I don't need you two — you're already so close you're practically one person. There's no room for me!"
The others joined in with laughter and chatter.
"Exactly, exactly. Wonder whose heart you've broken."
"Some people just don't know how lucky they are."
"Yeah, I'd say he's a walking definition of a scumbag!"
...
Everyone was, truthfully, a little jealous of the closeness between Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.
While they were joking and teasing, Elder Xuan finally spoke.
In the reserve team, Huo Yuhao was the only boy — with so many girls fussing over him, even Elder Xuan, despite his age, felt a little envious.
Damn it!
But soon, Elder Xuan straightened his mood.
Envy aside, business came first.
"We're still close to the Academy, so I'll say this upfront — the seven of you in the reserve team, listen carefully. What I'm about to say will determine your future direction at the Academy."
Elder Xuan's tone was unusually serious. Normally, he was unpredictable and lazy-looking, so this kind of solemn attitude was a first.
Huo Yuhao and the others immediately felt a sense of awe. All laughter faded, and they focused intently on him.
"Our Shrek Academy has a history of more than ten thousand years. Generally speaking, a powerful soul master can live for at least two hundred years, sometimes longer."
"And every year, new students pass the tests and enter the Inner Court. But right now, the number of Inner Court disciples who are still alive and in the Academy… is less than a hundred. Do you know why that is?"
"It's because… they all died in battle."
With that, Elder Xuan began to tell them about Shrek's long legacy — the battles among soul masters, the existence of Evil Soul Masters, and even the Shrek Inspection Division.
Through his explanation, everyone finally understood the true purpose of the Inner Court's existence.
To uphold justice in the world.In simple terms — to hunt down fallen soul masters, the Evil Soul Masters!
Eliminate evil, defend the righteous — the same principle.
No rewards.Only endless killing.
When Elder Xuan finished, he looked at them and said,
"Alright. Now, I need your answer — join, or withdraw."
"Join!"
Seven voices shouted in unison, powerful and clear. For that instant, it was as if all seven shared the same heart.
Huo Yuhao stood at the front — his tall, resolute figure made the girls behind him gaze with admiration.
Like him, they were firm in spirit, with not a trace of fear.
Elder Xuan smiled — genuinely pleased.
"Good. I didn't misjudge you."
"There's another reason I'm telling you all this — because you're about to face your first inspection mission!"
"Wang Yan, give them their Shrek Inspector equipment."
Wang Yan acknowledged the order and took out several rings from his storage soul tool, handing one to each member of the reserve team.
The rings were exquisite — silver-white metal bands set with emerald-green gemstones the size of a fingernail. The gem gleamed vividly, brimming with life energy, and the ring's surface was carved with the image of Shrek's monster head — unforgettable at first glance.
"This ring is the symbol of our identity."
"As long as you're one of us, you can verify another's identity by using your own Inspector's Ring to check theirs."
"The Inspector's Ring is also a storage soul tool. Inside is your exclusive equipment set — you can check it now."
