I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

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 was still immersed in being insulted by Ling Luochen, to his senses. He quickly shook his head to calm himself down, since he was currently in the midst of the assessment and focusing on completing it was the most important thing for him right now.

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

On the left is a beautiful woman with blonde hair and yellow hair. Although she appears to be physically weak, 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 Saint 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.

At this moment, both of them had their eyes closed, like princesses under a sleeping spell. Then, the Evil-Eyed Saint 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 called out, "Let's leave my sister aside for now, but didn't my mother pass away a long time ago?"

"Hmph! Couldn't you wait until he finished speaking?" The Evil-Eyed Saint 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. So once you kill one of them, you will forever forget everything about that person and 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, Huo Yuhao was the only person in the world who would feel sad for Huo Yun'er's 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 plummeted 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 masters were synonymous with evil. Even though many evil soul masters had become evil soul masters after being persecuted by higher-ranking nobles, Shrek would not change their prejudice against evil soul masters.

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 due to a lack of resources compared to the noble children. 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 behind him, perhaps he was never meant to be with 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 most of the best students and leave the less capable ones to other academies.

So no matter how good the relationship is between Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen, the difference in their ideals means that they will inevitably have conflicts sooner or later, and in the end, they will each go their own way.

Since we're going to break up sooner or later because of 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, Huo Yuhao wouldn't show any lingering attachment if forgetting the other party could grant him power.

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

Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen welcomed her presence before Huo Yuhao. The Evil Eye Saint King then said, "Since you are prepared to forget her, then you must personally erase this illusion. As mentioned before, this illusion is your 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 test of the Holy King's assessment, 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 blue-ice-colored 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 spirit 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 led her to shout many hurtful things at the other person because of excessive fear. However, she then 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, and then instigated a riot in the dungeon. The girl also took the opportunity to take herself and Shrek's men 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 recognized, and vowed in her heart that she would return for him in the future.
