"Yes, my martial spirit needs to kill. Bloodlust is a unique attribute of this sword. I will protect this attribute and prevent it from being corrupted. It will not kill the innocent indiscriminately, but only those who deserve to die."

His eyes were deep and somber as he traced the shattered blade with his fingertips, yet the sharpness of the blade did not harm him.

All of this was observed by Moon, but he did not react. He simply remained as frail and aged as before, like an ordinary, kind old man.

"Okay, put it away."

With a thought, Shen Yumo's purplish-red blade of light vanished, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed back into that cold and handsome young man.

Then, the protective shield filled with light gradually dissipated, turning into firefly-like specks of light that disappeared into the air.

"Go, child. I hope I can help you here. And later, I hope you can explain what constitutes a person who should be killed and what constitutes a person who shouldn't be killed... I hope to get your answers." The sunlight shone on the old man's face, which was full of comfort.

Shen Yumo bowed and said, "Yes." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the freshman dormitory building, ignoring the doubts in the eyes of those around her.

The sudden appearance of its rich light element in the academy naturally resonated with the martial souls of many people, and even the freshmen who didn't know what was going on joined in the fun.

Soon, the surrounding students were dispersed by a very tall teacher. He had neat black hair, wore the academy's special teacher's robe, and had a warm smile on his lips. At first glance, he seemed like a good teacher.

He walked up to Mu En and respectfully asked, "Teacher, what happened just now? That soul power of the light element..." As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe frowned with worry.

Before Yan Shaozhe could finish speaking, Elder Mu interjected, "My body is perfectly fine. I just met a very interesting child. I can sense that he has great talent and is a promising individual worth nurturing!"

As he spoke, Old Mu slightly opened his eyes, and the image of the confident young man appeared before his eyes.

Yan Shaozhe listened attentively to Elder Mu's story. He was puzzled. Who was this person that Elder Mu called a talent?

"Then... what's that boy's name?" Even Elder Mu praised him, so he must see the boy for himself. Can't a Martial Soul Department Dean take on a disciple? Yan Shaozhe thought to himself.

"Hehe, I don't know his name either. I only know that the child's martial soul is a sword. The sword is very special. The reason I released my soul power is because of that child," Elder Mu said gently.

"But..." Yan Shaozhe was still opening his mouth, wanting to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Elder Mu.

"Alright, let's go. Don't bother this old man anymore." After saying that, Old Mu closed his eyes again.

"Alright..." Yan Shaozhe nodded helplessly, bowed respectfully, and left.

But at this moment, his heart was in turmoil. What kind of martial soul would require Elder Mu to release his soul power?

Is it something shameful? Or is there something else going on? He guessed that the martial soul must have something special about it.

The more this happened, the more it itched in his heart. A knife? What was so special about it? He was determined to find out when the freshman competition came around.

……

The student dormitories are in a long, narrow building with individual dormitory doors on both sides, each with a number. The interiors of the dormitories are clearly old and worn, their age unknown. There is a communal restroom at each end of the corridor.

Is this Shrek Academy? A question couldn't help but arise in Shen Yumo's mind.

Reaching my dormitory room, I unlocked the door with my key, and a blast of somewhat stale air rushed out…

"vomit……"

A foul odor and dust rushed into Shen Yumo's nose, and she almost vomited.

He pinched his nose, feeling a little better. "This is simply no place for a human to live. Whoever left behind those ancient socks when they left with their goods!"

There, on the floor of the small room, lay several stinky socks with holes. The smell almost made Shen Yumo explode on the spot.

After waiting a while, I finally took a deep breath and rushed in to open the window. This room hadn't been lived in for at least a month. It was covered in a layer of dust.

While the window was open for ventilation, Shen Yumo took a good look at the layout of the dormitory. The dormitory was very small, only about ten square meters. Two beds took up most of the space, and besides that, there was only a table and two metal clothes racks.

There was a lamp on the roof and several metal protrusions on the wall. It was clear that the lamp was a simple soul tool that required soul power to enter in order to light up. Those metal protrusions were where the soul power would enter.

Chapter 32 I'm Good at Scamming People

There was a lamp on the roof and several metal protrusions on the wall. It was clear that the lamp was a simple soul tool that required soul power to enter in order to light up. Those metal protrusions were where the soul power would enter.

After a short while of ventilation, the stale air in the dormitory was finally clean. Looking at the small space, Shen Yumo suddenly felt sad. He missed Xue Di and Bing Di. The feeling was subtle, and whenever he thought of the two of them, he felt a little excited.

It was a strange feeling, like... a little sweet?

Shen Yumo didn't understand either. Perhaps... this is what love is. He had his own consciousness since he was an infant, so he was not an infant. Therefore, he liked the two emperors of ice and snow who had taken care of him for nine years. There is a saying that love grows over time.

Anyway, he had developed feelings for her. Perhaps in the eyes of the Ice and Snow Emperors, he was just a child they had watched grow up, but Shen Yumo didn't think so. It might just be wishful thinking on her part.

Never mind, there will be other opportunities in the future...

Let's think about how to clean it. Just thinking about it gives him a headache. He really can't bring himself to do it. Maybe there are more options. Hiring someone wouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Or should I clean it myself? But that's a bit too much...

Just as Shen Yumo was at her wit's end, the sound of a door opening caught her attention. People always subconsciously look towards the source of the sound.

Just then, the door to the dormitory across the street opened.

Upon seeing this person, Shen Yumo immediately smiled. She had been worrying about the cleaning situation, but she never expected that her neighbor across the hall was Huo Yuhao!

Huo Yuhao naturally saw Shen Yumo as well. His pupils contracted, and those cold, sky-blue eyes made Huo Yuhao shudder. It was him!

A young man in a blue robe leaned against the door frame, his exceptionally beautiful eyes fixed on him coldly.

Perhaps because of Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao felt an unusual fondness for this young man, but at this moment he was somewhat nervous.

"⊙?⊙! Uh... Hello! I... I'm Huo Yuhao! Please take care of me!" Huo Yuhao stammered, his face flushed, and extended his hand to the boy in blue.

At this moment, the boy also began to look at him directly. In fact, he was overjoyed. Looking at Huo Yuhao's flushed cheeks and sincere eyes, Shen Yumo could even see a faint golden glint in those incredibly sincere eyes. The Spirit Eye Martial Soul, huh?

He glanced at Huo Yuhao's outstretched right hand, a smile playing on his lips, and then grasped Huo Yuhao's hand with his own slender fingers.

She smiled politely in return, "Shen Yumo."

"Oh, hello there!" Huo Yuhao scratched his head shyly.

Shen Yumo frowned. What are you shy about? I'm not Wang Dong. Is it because of what happened before?

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense. After all, Huo Yuhao has an irreconcilable feud with the Dai family, and seeing me clash with Dai Huabin before, it's no wonder he has a good impression of me.

Fine, I'll have to let this kid clean up. I'm not using him for nothing, so giving him a hundred gold soul coins is no big deal, isn't that generous enough?

Huo Yuhao was indeed a bit confused. This person looked so aloof. Just then, a foul odor entered his nose...

What's that smell? Huo Yuhao frowned and sniffed around.

"No need to smell it anymore, that's the smell coming from my room," Shen Yumo said calmly.

"Oh~ Oh!" Huo Yuhao looked slightly embarrassed, glanced at the room behind the boy in blue, and said, "This house has been uninhabited for a long time, sealed off for a month or two, so it's inevitable that it will have a musty smell. This is normal. Just clean it up and open the windows to ventilate it." Huo Yuhao said very seriously.

But at this moment, a large worm in his mind became a little uneasy; it smelled so familiar!

It's Hyotei! Could it be that Bingbing has caught up with us? Blinded by love, Tianmeng's eyes sparkled with hearts, and she began to see the boy in front of her clearly through Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Why does this boy smell like the Hyotei Sect?! And he's not a soul beast!

Tianmeng found it hard to believe that this human boy was connected to Hyotei! Tianmeng realized that things were definitely not that simple.

Upon closer inspection, the boy was dressed in a blue brocade robe, his clothes were neat and tidy, his eyebrows were bright and his eyes were clear, revealing a heroic spirit. Although he was leaning lazily against the door frame, he gave people the feeling of a sharp blade.

What's most striking are the boy's sky-blue eyes. His long, neatly tied blue hair reaches his waist...

If Shen Yumo knew, he would want to roast Tianmeng. The time he spent with Hyotei was neither long nor short, and he had truly fallen in love with Hyotei.

He also knew the original plot's direction. He was selfish and didn't want to hand over the two Ice and Snow Emperors to others. At that time, he vowed to change everything and that anyone who stood in his way would die!

But he doesn't know that the giant bug can sense the scent of Hyotei on him, so he's thinking about how to get Huo Yuhao to clean him up, which sounds very appealing.

"Well, did you just clean your room?" Shen Yumo asked with a gentle smile.

"Yes...yes..." Huo Yuhao was a little confused. How did he know that he had just cleaned his room?

He truly deserves the title of genius. Even the teachers at Shrek Academy are clapping and praising him, calling him a genius. He's a real talent... Shen Yumo: Hehehe, you found out...

Then, a hint of admiration appeared in his gaze as he looked at the boy, and he affirmed, "Yes, Brother Shen, I did just finish cleaning my dorm room. How do you know everything...?"

He felt that Shen Yumo was much older than him, and shorter than him by a head, so he felt that Shen Yumo was at least twelve years old. Since the academy's rules for admitting students did not include those over twelve years old, it was reasonable for Shen Yumo to be twelve years old.

Brother Shen? Shen Yumo frowned slightly. Does this guy call everyone "brother"? How many "brothers" am I?

Shen Yumo immediately straightened her posture. "It's like this, let's not beat around the bush. I want you to help me clean my room, and there will be payment."

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what the other party meant. The kind-hearted Huo Yuhao patted his thin chest and said, "It's okay, Brother Shen! I can clean it up, and I don't need your payment!" Huo Yuhao said firmly, and the light gold in his eyes became even more intense.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's sincere expression, Shen Yumo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. It was impossible for Huo Yuhao to have such a good impression of her just because of a single meeting!

There's only one truth! Shen Yumo immediately transformed into a deduction maniac!

Huo Yuhao had witnessed all the conflict between himself and Dai Huabin during the registration process, which is why he was so easy to talk to!

Hehe, that's really good!

……

……

Chapter 33 Equal Transactions

There's only one truth! Shen Yumo immediately transformed into a deduction maniac!

Huo Yuhao had witnessed all the conflict between himself and Dai Huabin during the registration process, which is why he was so easy to talk to!

Hehe, that's really good!

Shen Yumo then gave an embarrassed smile, "Yuhao, we've never had any connection, so why are you cleaning my room for free?" She said, revealing a charming smile.

He was already laughing inwardly. Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, your luck is extraordinary, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to defy fate.

"Huh? This..." Huo Yuhao scratched his head, pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "Maybe it's because I feel very familiar with Brother Shen and he's a very nice person, so I can clean Brother Shen's room for him."

Shen Yumo looked at him, her smile unwavering, her eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, looked sincere, his youthful appearance radiant, with a few beads of sweat on his face. His bright eyes met Shen Yumo's gaze directly.

"Hmph... cough, alright then, I'll trouble you, Huo Yuhao. If anyone bullies you at the academy in the future, just tell me." A meaningful smile appeared on the boy's lips.

"Okay!"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao turned around and opened his room, seemingly to get the cleaning tools he had used before to clean Shen Yumo's room.

He was still muttering to himself, "Brother Shen, I've been doing this kind of work since I was a child. Life is tough, there's no other way. Sometimes I have to do these kinds of chores myself..."

As he spoke, he brought over a basin of clean water. The clean, pure water was as pure and kind as the roughest boy's heart. He carried it into the room, then turned around and got a broom, dustpan, and mop, which were now in a room where the smell was somewhat better.

"Brother Shen, I really didn't expect to get into Shrek Academy..."

"Phew..." He wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose.
