Chapter 14 Even Souls Have Their Own Lives
Chapter 14 Even Souls Have Their Own Lives
"Leaving Shrek Academy will not affect you. The Spirit Tower treats 90% of soul spirits equally. I think your time at Shrek Academy wasn't actually that good. With your strength, you can easily find a family to become a successor soul spirit; that's much better than having to put up with those people."
Huo Yuhao looked at the three souls that had been forcibly separated from Juyan and brought to him, and said seriously.
They are all sealed in Soul Orbs, allowing them to sense the outside world, and they will not gradually weaken even if they do not form a contract with a Soul Master.
Seemingly as punishment for the three spirits who were with Juyan, Sikong Hong made the decision to give them to Huo Yuhao. He had always known that Huo Yuhao was interested in spirit research, and these spirits, which were not registered in the Spirit Transfer Tower, were perfect for him.
Anyway, it's a product of Shrek Academy.
Huo Yuhao understood that these spirits harbored resentment, but he did not get angry with them. Instead, he calmly communicated with them. They had been at Shrek Academy for so many years, and their potential value was higher than they themselves realized!
Huo Yuhao: Let the soul spirits come forward to prove that Shrek Academy is abusing soul spirits, pin the blame on them, and then slowly simmer the matter. The advantage is in my hands!
Long Yeyue: Let's sit back and watch the storm rise and fall, and remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Shrek Academy's reputation will only grow stronger. The advantage is in my hands!
"The people of Shrek Academy made you stronger, and you should dedicate everything to them. You may have been molded into this mindset by your environment, but Soul Masters and Soul Spirits are interdependent. Without you, they could not have reached the pinnacle. You owe them nothing."
Huo Yuhao patiently guided them, and as long as he made them feel a sense of comparison and broke down their feelings of guilt towards Shrek Academy, they would waver.
"..."
The three spirits did not answer, but their mental fluctuations indicated that their hearts were not at peace.
A thousand-year-old azure-shadowed divine eagle, a thousand-year-old golden wolf, and a ten-thousand-year-old iron-gnawing beast.
They are all powerful spirits, and before becoming spirits, they also had powerful bloodlines... Shrek Academy's domesticated beasts.
Thinking back on all those years at Shrek Academy, and the many generations of the Seven Devils who traveled the continent and saw those legendary souls who were treated like ancestors in their families, enjoying good food and drink, and then reflecting on himself, he realized that he was at most called a "partner," and he naturally knew his own status.
In the past, when we had no choice, we could comfort ourselves by saying that it was normal to have no status. We were under the protection of Shrek Academy, and we became stronger because of their generations of powerful figures.
But now...
They admit that they feel psychologically unbalanced.
"Also, Juyan has been protected. He'll be back in about a month. But Shrek Academy didn't mention taking you back. It seems they care more about their students than lowly soul spirits. By the way, Juyan is a Soul Saint after all. If he goes back and forms a few more soul spirits—will he remember you?"
Will you remember?
Sorry, you can't be an obstacle to my reaching the top. "Partners"? A few beasts!
The three spirits inexplicably had this idea, and it's very likely that they really thought so; human nature is fickle.
Huo Yuhao smiled inwardly. After all, he was not very intelligent and could be persuaded with just a few words.
"Our Spirit Pagoda respects souls the most. As long as you join the Spirit Pagoda, you can retire at the Spirit Ascension Platform. At most, you can occasionally hone your skills with some juniors."
Sorry, but spirits also have their own lives.
They made a decision quickly.
So, Huo Yuhao took out a contract scroll and placed it in front of the three soul orbs, "Then let's draw up a contract."
…………
"No! I refuse to accept this! I did nothing wrong, you can't treat me like this!"
Gu Yuena arrived outside a specially made room and heard her teacher's angry and frantic voice. Her emotions were complicated, so she stopped and stood outside the door.
Although she couldn't see what was happening inside, she could still hear the sounds.
My own teacher... is quite pitiful.
But she showed no sympathy.
Such traitors to humanity and souls deserve a heavy blow!
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena was a little annoyed. She wanted to integrate into the human world and understand everything about this era so that she could help the soul beasts gain a firm foothold.
Therefore, she became Leng Yaozhu's disciple. The Tianfeng family and Biji had some connection; Biji was of phoenix blood, and so were her clansmen. She thought Leng Yaozhu would be useful, a shrewd and capable person. She believed she could learn a lot from her and it would help her climb to the top ranks of the Spirit Transmission Tower.
However, reality proved her wrong. Leng Yaozhu was a hopeless romantic, obsessed with Xiao Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena...
They only sell out their own people!
"Luckily, I caught it early. I'll cut ties with her today, otherwise, she might send me to Shrek Academy under the guise of doing what's best for me someday."
Shrek Academy is a place you can go to?
Over the course of ten thousand years, she and Ling Bing learned that Tang San's mother lived in the Golden Tree of Shrek Academy, and that Tang Hao was suspected to be at Shrek Academy as well.
According to Ling Bing's most sinister speculation, the so-called Tree Spirit Elder Jin is most likely Tang Hao in disguise.
Wouldn't she be courting death if she went?
Moreover, Ling Bing also said that Shrek Academy has an extremely strong brainwashing ability. Their students will become completely different people after entering the academy. They will even steal and rob from their own homes to support the academy, and the academy will not have to give them anything in return.
If you're not careful and get infected, you're doomed.
Just thinking about how he constantly proclaimed the glory of Shrek Academy, and how he, like Xiao Wu and Ah Yin, was obsessed with transferring everything in the Star Dou Great Forest to Shrek Academy...
Gu Yuena felt a chill run down her spine.
"Hmph. You still like Yun Ming, and you still don't know you're wrong. That's fine. The physical therapy will continue until you admit your mistake. Then comes the psychological therapy."
Inside the room, Madam Lingbing's voice carried a strange sense of pleasure and the twisted voice of a resentful woman, followed by a series of miserable howls and sounds of blows.
Despite her stubbornness, she's still quite proud.
Gu Yuena thought to herself.
Such a person would not think he was wrong. He would probably resent the Spirit Pagoda in his heart, believing it to be an evil organization and himself to be a righteous infiltrator who was captured.
Shaking her head, Gu Yuena didn't think Leng Yaozhu could be saved.
She bowed to the door and said a loud goodbye to her former teacher.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality and guidance these past few days. Unfortunately, your actions are despicable, and perhaps this is where we end our journey. I hope you will be completely transformed when we meet again."
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "I have already become a disciple of Elder Han."
After dealing with Leng Yaozhu, Han Tianyi remembered that she had a talented disciple named Gu Yuena. Considering that her future would be affected by Leng Yaozhu, Han Tianyi took her under her wing as well.
Just consider it as keeping Huo Yuhao company.
After saying that, she turned and left.
Inside the room, all sounds ceased.
Leng Yaozhu collapsed to the ground, her face bruised and swollen from the beating she had received from Madam Lingbing. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked utterly wretched.
"Na'er, no, Na'er! How could you betray me too? I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong! Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent, while our Spirit Pagoda is just a sect-like organization. What's wrong with sending our child there for further studies? Shrek Academy has also contributed greatly to the peace of the continent. They are righteous and kind people. I wanted that child to be better off. I did nothing wrong!"
She said it almost as if she were roaring.
Only in this way can I comfort my own heart.
"First, you secretly sent the list of geniuses to Shrek Academy behind everyone's back; that's a betrayal of the Spirit Pagoda. Second, Huo Yuhao isn't just your disciple. Finally, the Spirit Pagoda has its own academy, or at the very least, countless other options. It's none of your business!"
Madam Lingbing slapped her, sending her flying to the ground again, and began a new round of physical therapy.
Are you heartbroken? Are you devastated?
I'm sad and angry too!
