"My talent is very poor. At eleven years old, I only had eleven levels of soul power. Originally, I wouldn't have been able to come to Shrek Academy. But... I met a few benefactors along the way, joined the Tang Sect, and obtained a spot to enter Shrek. Today is my first day at Shrek..."
The boy moved quickly and efficiently, not losing his composure despite the difficulty of cleaning, and tidied the room in an orderly manner.
While calmly chatting, he would occasionally glance back at the blue-clad boy leaning against the doorframe, revealing a youthful and innocent smile.
Shen Yumo watched his busy figure. She understood everything he was saying. She listened quietly as he spoke, and her thoughts drifted to the far north.
A smile secretly crept onto her lips. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. A ray of sunlight shone in, one beam turning the corridor into countless dust particles, another caressing her face. Gentle sunlight is the most healing thing.
Focusing her gaze on his back again, the clean and tidy room gradually came into view. His thin shadow was cast obliquely on the floor. Shen Yumo's heart was gently touched. His mother was murdered, he was forced to leave the manor, he was not talented, and he had a strong hatred in his heart. He was weak and helpless.
The Demon King said, "Young man, submit to me, and I will grant you the greatest power!"
This world needs power; the weak crave it desperately, while the strong manipulate it with disdain. Wherever there are people, there will be conflict, whether overt or covert, leaving people weary and disgusted. But what can be done?
……
"Brother Shen, I've finished cleaning, but the smell might still be a bit off. You can open the windows to air it out, hehe." Huo Yuhao stood in front of the boy, showing his most sincere smile, genuinely showing his goodwill.
The cleaning tools were neatly put back in their original places. He was covered in beads of sweat. Although he was now a Soul Master, his physical weakness was something he couldn't change, and he was bound to get tired.
Shen Yumo looked at him and nodded, his unruly demeanor evident on his face. He didn't want to get too entangled with Huo Yuhao right now, as it would be difficult to handle a conflict in the future.
Maybe when things get better, he won't have the heart to torture him anymore, and they can talk about anything, except for the matter of the two Ice and Snow Emperors. If fate keeps Huo Yuhao entangled with those two emperors, then he will not hesitate to kill him.
"Thank you for your hard work, but I still have principles. I think it's a bad habit for you to ask me to do things. I prefer to talk about business interests. You help me clean, and I'll pay you. That's reasonable."
Shen Yumo spoke quietly, as if he were a stranger... well, no, they were strangers to begin with.
His tone was calm, and the words he spoke did not sound like something a child would say; he was talking about the most ordinary things.
"Brother Shen...I..." Before Huo Yuhao could say anything more, he suddenly felt a weight in his hand and looked down to find a money pouch.
Immediately afterwards, with a bang, the dormitory door slammed shut, giving him no chance to explain.
Shen Yumo walked into the room expressionlessly. Although he clearly disliked Huo Yuhao, he didn't throw the money on the ground. That would be pointless. He would give the other party a certain degree of respect, which was also a form of respect for his opponent.
Walking to the bedside, the sunlight streaming through the window onto the bed made Shen Yumo feel a little sleepy after a tense day. He decided to get a good night's sleep and then continue his cultivation after dinner.
Thinking about it, he lay down on the bed, put his feet up at the foot of the bed, put his hands on his head, stared at the ceiling with a calm expression, and sighed.
Today was my first time meeting him, and I wonder if the big worm inside him is alright? He doesn't believe that he didn't discover anything in his dream that day.
Thinking of that insect, Shen Yumo suddenly felt a surge of anger. How dare it think of Hyotei? It truly deserved to die.
One day I'll roast you and eat you...
……
Behind the door.
Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the heavy money bag in his hand, his heart suddenly filled with mixed feelings. After leaving the manor, he truly felt the care from his friends.
Every bit of love fills my heart, and I can't help but think of Senior Brother Beibei and Sister Tang Ya...
The purse in your hand may be just an equal transaction for the other party, but for you, it represents genuine care. Shen Yumo: Don't overthink it.
The moment he opened the purse, a deep sense of regret and grievance welled up in his heart! His eyes suddenly reddened, and his eyes gradually misted over.
A flash of golden light, and the bag was filled with gold soul coins!
Gold Soul Coins! I've only seen them once, when I saw them briefly in someone else's hands at the White Tiger Duke's mansion. A dozen or so were enough for a family to live comfortably for a year!
The bag was heavy with gold soul coins; there were over thirty of them!
This is such a huge sum of money for me!
The urge to cry doesn't necessarily mean he cares about the other person; it just means that looking at those gold soul coins reminds him of his mother!

Chapter 34 A Pleasant Evening
The bag was heavy with gold soul coins; there were over thirty of them!
This is such a huge sum of money for me!
The urge to cry doesn't necessarily mean he cares about the other person; it just means that looking at those gold soul coins reminds him of his mother!
If... if we had had that much money back then, Mom would have had the money to see a doctor! Mom wouldn't have been so sad! And she wouldn't have left him!
He hated it! Why did all the injustice in the world fall on him...?
He opened the door weakly, and the moment he closed it, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. He didn't believe that cleaning a room of just over ten square meters could earn him so much money!
I'll definitely pay them back when I get the chance!
He slowly crawled onto the bed, tears streaming down his face, gradually soaking the pillow. His heart was filled with despair, helplessness, and sorrow…
Mom, if only you were here...
Her body trembled uncontrollably...
Just then, the sound of a door opening rang out, and Huo Yuhao quickly wiped away his tears.
Before I could even get up and turn around, I heard...
"Hello, my name is Wang Dong..."
……
Pure soul power was absorbed and circulated throughout the limbs.
The small room was filled with purplish-red soul power, and a faint light clung to Shen Yumo's body, making him look like a golden, radiant deity. His exquisite features seemed to be the most wonderful gift bestowed upon him by heaven.
With his eyes closed, he sat cross-legged on the bed, continuously circulating his soul power in his hands.
The Demon Blade Thousand Blades' bloodlust is a double-edged sword. If used well, it is invincible; if used poorly, it becomes a beast that drives people to madness.
Seeking pleasure in bloody slaughter is not about igniting savagery, but about better suppressing that evil intent, using the terrifying killing intent on the tip of the blade, and pushing the use of killing to its extreme, making it the sharpest blade in one's hand.
There's no need to fall into depravity or submit; instead, you should think about how to better utilize this killing intent to make yourself stronger!
This is destined to be a path of mourning for the dead; what must be done is to strive to become the pinnacle...
His path of growth flashed before his eyes: from conditioning his body since childhood to awakening his level 25 innate soul power, then leaving the far north, and finally arriving at Shrek Academy.
I experienced a lot along the way and learned a lot of things. Overall, it was a wonderful start.
Just as Qi said, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades is her most loyal companion. No matter who betrays her, it will never betray her. No matter what situation she is in or where she has fallen, her martial spirit is her most trusted and reliable companion.
And of course, there's my own heart.
The sharp blade aura suddenly appeared, and a purplish-red killing intent invaded the room, with the purest killing intent swirling around him.
The subtlest traces of evil energy were slowly refined. Every instance of killing intent was accompanied by evil energy. What he had to do was to eliminate the evil energy and retain the purest killing intent to temper the blade.
……
She slowly opened her sky-blue eyes, sighed softly, and exhaled a breath of stale air.
My gaze drifted to the window; the sky had already darkened. Before I knew it, an entire afternoon had passed in cultivation, and I was starting to feel a little hungry…
So let's just go to the cafeteria.
After getting out of bed and walking past the dormitory building, Mu En was no longer there. This was normal; he liked to look at the freshmen, but the freshmen were all too proud to pay attention to an old man.
As night approached, there were very few people at the entrance of the cafeteria. Once inside, there were a few people, maybe a dozen or so.
There are several windows for serving food. You can eat regular stir-fried dishes and rice with two copper soul coins, and there are also windows for silver soul coins. However, the most expensive window is the one for gold soul coins.
The aroma of meat and other fragrances wafted through the air, tempting the hungry. Food made with spirit beasts was something that ordinary people couldn't afford.
A meal costs more than ten gold soul coins. How could someone afford that unless they were rich?
Moreover, this kind of food is also very beneficial to cultivation. At this moment, there was no one in front of the window, so Shen Yumo naturally bought this.
Even if you can't afford anything worth hundreds of millions, you can still afford a meal with a dozen or so gold soul coins.
When he arrived there, the few people in the cafeteria glanced at the back of the boy in blue. It was rare for anyone to eat at that window all day.
It just so happens that we met at this time, and judging from his appearance, he might be some rich young master.
Fortunately, no one bothered us during the meal, and we finished eating quietly. This is actually the most satisfying kind of life.
As I stepped out of the cafeteria after finishing my meal, it was already completely dark. The dark blue sky was especially beautiful, particularly the countless little stars, which were truly gorgeous.
In response, Shen Yumo decided to walk around the area.
The roads are wide, the lights are bright, and the lake is calm.
Poseidon Lake is indeed very large. It took nearly fifteen minutes to walk south along the lakeside path before turning west. After another fifteen minutes or so, the path began to narrow, and a wide rectangular plaza came into view. A sign for Shrek Plaza also appeared nearby.
Behind the sign stood seven statues. Shen Yumo's body stiffened slightly when her gaze fell upon the foremost statue.
It was a tall, handsome man, most notably with double pupils in his eyes. He had a king-shaped mark on his forehead, and although it was just a statue, it exuded a powerful and imposing aura.
Isn't this my pet white tiger?
Shen Yumo shook her head with a smile. This move was brilliant. The statues of the people looked lifelike and were placed here for the world to admire. Tsk tsk.
……
That lake couldn't really be called a lake; it was more like a huge artificial sea. You could even smell a faint scent of seawater, which showed just how big it was.
Leaning against the railing, I instantly felt incredibly comfortable; I hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
If a cigarette were available at this moment, it would be the best companion and comfort, but unfortunately, there is no such thing in this world.
As Shen Yumo leaned against the railing to observe the scenery, she caught a glimpse of a spot shimmering with golden light out of the corner of her eye.
You can vaguely tell that it is an island.
Alright, no need for too much trouble, this is Poseidon Island. The highest meeting and decision-making are all held there, and Shen Yumo is still very curious about it.
My attribute is cold-blooded killing. If I encounter the light of the Golden Tree and sit down to comprehend it, what will I gain?
What I'm most curious about is the environment there. If I have the means in the future, I must go there for a vacation. The scenery is so beautiful; you, Poseidon Pavilion, can't keep it all to yourself forever.
The boy was very handsome, and the sea breeze gave his face a charming glow. The gentle boy had lost all his previous unruly and free-spirited air.
