Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 97 (Daily) Memorial Stone for the Victims

"Teacher Wang!"

Huo Yuhao called out and stopped Wang Yan.

"Hmm? It's Yuhao. Are you here to read books today too?"

Wang Yan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he saw Huo Yuhao. Not only was he talented, but he was also hardworking enough to seize every opportunity to realize his talent and not waste the gift bestowed upon him by God. Wang Yan liked this kind of student the most.

"Hehe, it's not Teacher Wang who's here to read books today, but I've been assigned to Class 1, so I'll have to ask for your help in the future."

Huo Yuhao ran up to Wang Yan and said with a smile.

"Oh, you've been assigned to Class 1. We're really destined to be together. I thought you wouldn't be able to resist the allure of Teacher Mu Jin's soul bone and would voluntarily go to Class 9, which Teacher Mu Jin teaches."

Wang Yan reached out and touched Huo Yuhao's head, but Huo Yuhao's height had increased by leaps and bounds in the past two years, making it a bit difficult for him to touch it now.

"So you came here specifically to see me today. What's the matter?"

Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao and asked.

"Teacher Wang, the main reason I came to see you this time is to ask you to take me to the inner courtyard of Poseidon Lake. I want to go and see Dean Yan."

"Oh?"

Wang Yan let out a soft "hmm" but didn't ask any further questions. He said, "No wonder you came to find me. Well, it's fine. I also have two documents that I need Dean Yan to sign. I was originally planning to go after dinner, but it's good to go with you now."

Wang Yan led Huo Yuhao to the shore of Sea God Lake. Five spirit rings lit up beneath his feet. He put one arm around Huo Yuhao, and the two of them immediately rushed out.

Huo Yuhao was held in Wang Yan's arms, watching Wang Yan walk on the water at an extremely fast speed, and he felt extremely excited.

Huo Yuhao was quite good at swimming and had also mastered the secret technique of underwater breathing; otherwise, he would not have been able to kill the headless brothers of "Yaksha Lu" underwater.

However, Huo Yuhao was unsure whether there were any powerful soul beasts at the bottom of the Sea God Lake, and also for the sake of procedural justice, so he came to find Wang Yan first. Now that he had experienced walking on water, even though he was just the one being carried, Huo Yuhao still found it incredibly exciting.

Watching Wang Yan take a step with each dip of the water, his entire figure would rush outwards for more than ten meters, the scenery around him flashing by. Huo Yuhao's wonderful experience did not last long, because soon, the two of them stepped onto the land of the inner courtyard, and Huo Yuhao was put down by Wang Yan.

"Phew, walking on water, this feeling is amazing."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and shared his thoughts on the experience. He turned to look at Wang Yan, only to find that the other man was silent, solemnly staring at a huge black stone tablet in front of him.

Ok?

Huo Yuhao also looked at the huge black stone tablet. The size of the stone tablet was exaggerated, even larger than the ten statues at the entrance of the outer courtyard. It was densely covered with personal names.

Huo Yuhao looked at the name on the stone tablet, then at Wang Yan, and for a moment he became solemn.

"The names of the Shrek Academy students who have sacrificed their lives over the past ten thousand years are engraved on this stone tablet."

Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao and said slowly.

"Yuhao, do you know about evil spirit masters?"

Huo Yuhao didn't know why Wang Yan would suddenly ask this question, but he still answered honestly, "I've heard of it. It seems to be a group of Soul Masters who cultivate using the lives of innocent people."

"Yes, Yuhao, you're absolutely right."

Wang Yan's expression remained solemn: "There are many reasons for the emergence of evil soul masters. Some have evil martial souls by nature, while others take shortcuts and end up becoming evil soul masters. But in any case, they are all people who must be eliminated."

"The cultivation speed of evil soul masters is very fast before they reach the title of Douluo, even faster than soul masters with innate soul power level eight or nine, or even full innate soul power. Due to the evil techniques they have mastered, they are also much stronger than ordinary soul masters of the same level."

"Their cultivation methods vary, but the vast majority of them use human blood, bones, organs, virgins, or even newborn infants as cultivation materials. This is the biggest difference between them and ordinary soul masters."

"If we encounter them in the Soul Beast Forest, we'll throw them into the mouths of the Soul Beasts. If we catch them in a civilian's house, we'll throw them into a cesspool and drown them. Only by being more cruel and ruthless than the evil Soul Masters can we deter those Soul Masters who want to become evil Soul Masters."

"I don't know how the Spirit Hall dealt with the problem of evil spirit masters ten thousand years ago, but Shrek Academy's method of dealing with evil spirit masters is very straightforward. If one appears, we will eliminate one; if two appear, we will eliminate both."

"Perhaps these evil soul masters are very strong and their soul skills are strange enough, but that doesn't mean they can act recklessly. Their cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary soul masters, so we send out the best soul masters in the entire continent to fight them head-on. Their whereabouts are mysterious, so we dig three feet into the ground day and night."

"In short, evil spirit masters must die. This was the original intention behind the establishment of Shrek Academy's inner court."

Although Wang Yan did not tell Huo Yuhao what the names on those stone tablets represented, Huo Yuhao already understood the essence of those names.

Those were the most outstanding geniuses of Shrek Academy, no, they were the most outstanding geniuses of the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms over the past ten thousand years. They could have at least reached the Soul Douluo realm, and even the titled realm was not an unattainable goal for most of them.

But they ultimately fell on the path of exterminating evil spirit masters. Most of them were probably only in their twenties, or even just seventeen or eighteen. They embarked on this demon-hunting journey with a strong sense of hatred for evil and the idea of ​​maintaining stability on the continent.

The evil spirit masters are a group that treats human life as worthless. Shrek Academy's only solution to the evil spirit masters is to kill them. One can imagine how terrible and crazy the counterattack will be for the spirit masters who accept the mission to exterminate the evil spirit masters.

Huo Yuhao bowed silently to the stone tablet in front of him. He knew very well that without the sacrifices of these people, such a peaceful living environment would not exist on the Douluo Continent. Their sacrifices deserved everyone's respect.

"Why."

Qian Daoliu looked at the huge stone tablet standing in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy and let out a long sigh, as if he was lamenting something or regretting something, but in the end, Qian Daoliu just sighed and said nothing.

Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered the description of his first soul ring skill.

For thousands of years, the Holy Angels have suppressed all the Fallen with their Holy Flame Swords, confining them to a capital city exclusively for the Fallen. But everything changed after the arrival of that Outer God ten thousand years ago.

The stone tablet here seems to be from a comic or anime; it's probably not in the original work, but we can use it as a reference.
