The Soul Master Tournament.

"Shrek won again! That girl, Ma Xiaotao, actually defeated three Soul Kings by herself!"

"And that man with the White Tiger Martial Soul is so domineering!"

Just as a battle concluded, the crowd couldn't contain their excitement.

After several days of recuperation, the Shrek Academy team had regained their strength. Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen, the three main members, all appeared in the latest match.

Despite the opponent having four Soul Kings, the Shrek Academy team swept the match, sending the audience into a frenzy!

"Xiaotao, how are you feeling? Everything alright?"

After Ma Xiaotao and the others left the field, Wang Yan immediately approached, concerned for Ma Xiaotao.

"I'm perfectly fine now!"

Ma Xiaotao's spirits were high. Ever since she received the soul tool from Han Feng, the evil fire within her body had been constantly suppressed, unable to cause any trouble.

"After this match, you'll soon be studied by your opponents. Remember to conserve your strength afterward," Wang Yan advised, relieved. As long as Ma Xiaotao could maintain her mental clarity without being affected by the evil fire, they would have a great chance in the Soul Master Tournament.

However, what the Shrek Academy group didn't notice was that at this moment, in the audience, several pairs of eyes, faintly visible, were greedily watching Ma Xiaotao's every move.

Before long, Huo Yuhao and the others returned to the rest area for participating athletes.

But before they could fully relax, the door of the resting room suddenly burst open. Immediately afterward, a group of people dressed in white entered the room.

"Who are you?"

Wang Yan stepped forward to confront the group of students, activating his soul power, his face showing a vigilant expression.

"Don't misunderstand, Leader Wang. This person is the head of the Tianshui Sect, and he's here specifically to find one of your academy's students."

At this moment, a staff member of the tournament emerged from behind the group of white-clad people and came to explain to Wang Yan.

Seeing the appearance of the staff member, Wang Yan finally relaxed slightly.

"May I ask who you are looking for?"

Wang Yan stared directly at the middle-aged man in white clothes. He sensed an invisible pressure emanating from the man.

"Leader Wang, hello. I am the head of the Tianshui Sect, Mo Lihai. I have come specifically to find Huo Yuhao," Mo Lihai said calmly. Although there was an invisible pressure emanating from him, he appeared quite affable in front of the Shrek Academy group.

"Huo Yuhao?"

As soon as the others heard this, all eyes immediately focused on Huo Yuhao standing aside.

"I am Huo Yuhao. May I ask what business Master Mo has with me?"

Feeling the gaze of everyone, Huo Yuhao spoke with a bit of hesitation. In his memory, he seemed to have no connection with this head of the Tianshui Sect.

"Young friend, you have been outstanding in the Soul Master Tournament these days. I have some matters I wish to inquire about from you. I hope you can answer truthfully. If your answers align with my expectations, then from now on, the Tianshui Sect will provide you with all the resources you need for cultivation, as well as safety and protection."

Mo Lihai quickly got to the point.

"Huo Yuhao, are you the successor of the Ice God?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a glint appeared in Mo Lihai's eyes, as if he wanted to see through Huo Yuhao completely.

Successor of the Ice God?

The moment he heard these words, a look of confusion appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Master Mo, but I am not the successor of the Ice God."

After a brief moment of confusion, Huo Yuhao shook his head, denying Mo Lihai's speculation.

He had never heard of the term "successor of the Ice God" before this moment.

"Is that so..."

Mo Lihai, upon hearing Huo Yuhao's response, surprisingly did not show any disappointment on his face. Instead, there was a hint of profoundness in his expression.

"In that case, I won't disturb you any longer."

After a moment, Mo Lihai respectfully bowed to Huo Yuhao and then returned to the Shrek Academy team's rest area with him.

"I've heard of Senior Xuan Lao of Shrek Academy for a long time. Today, I finally had the chance to meet you. Truly extraordinary."

Back in the rest area, Mo Lihai took the initiative to approach Xuan Lao and respectfully bowed to him.

"Hehe, the title of the Tianshui Sect Master, this old man has also heard of it for a long time."

Xuan Lao finally put down the chicken leg in his hand and stood up to return the greeting to Mo Lihai.

"A mere small sect, how can we compare with Shrek Academy."

Mo Lihai chuckled. This was not self-deprecation; his sect's strength was only ranked within the top hundred on the continent, while Shrek Academy was the undisputed number one power.

Apart from the reclusive Shui family, probably no one could match it.

"Speaking of which, I have a daughter named Qingyao, who is the Holy Maiden of our sect. She has long admired Shrek Academy. Today, meeting you all can be considered serendipitous. May I ask Senior Xuan Lao to accept Qingyao into Shrek Academy?"

As Mo Lihai spoke, a girl who looked only about ten years old emerged from the group of white-clad people.

"I greet all the seniors."

The girl, dressed in a white long dress, with delicate features, politely greeted everyone.

Seeing this, a gleam flashed in Xuan Lao's eyes. He glanced at Huo Yuhao first, then turned his gaze back to Mo Qingyao.

"Haha, Master Mo is too polite. Since it's the Holy Maiden of the Tianshui Sect who wishes to join our Shrek Academy, I naturally welcome her."

Xuan Lao laughed heartily and accepted Mo Qingyao into the academy.

"Xuan Lao is straightforward! Master Mo, you are too kind. I have urgent matters to attend to now, so I won't disturb you any longer."

Mo Lihai once again bowed to everyone, then left the rest area with the group of white-clad people. However, he left his daughter, Mo Qingyao, behind in the rest area.

This behavior was seen by the Shrek Academy team, leaving them somewhat speechless. Mo Lihai, on his first meeting with Shrek Academy, dared to directly offer his daughter.
