Xiao Xiao, who appeared to be a sweet and obedient loli, was the type of person who acted on her thoughts without hesitation. The very next day, she eagerly sought out Ye Wen.
Regarding this third disciple of his in this world, Ye Wen remained silent for a long while.
The task could be done, but it wouldn't be easy.
Both of Xiao Xiao's parents were Titled Douluo. Her father, during the battle against Di Tian, had even burned his life force to forcefully break through to Level 99. Her mother, an auxiliary-type Titled Douluo, had tragically perished under the concentrated attacks of soul beasts during that same war.
Spiritual-type soul beasts were rare, so there was a good chance their souls still existed after death—though whether they remained intact was another matter entirely.
Moreover, Ye Wen couldn't help but sigh at Tang San's misdeeds.
If this were the Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago, things might have been simpler. But now, with the rampant presence of evil spirit masters—some of whom specialized in enslaving souls—it was unclear whether Xiao Xiao's parents had fallen victim to such atrocities.
Looking at the tearful little loli before him, Ye Wen's heart softened.
"Alright, I'll go to that battlefield later and see if I can find your parents' souls. But Xiao Xiao, let me make one thing clear—too much time has passed. Even the souls of Titled Douluo cannot endure indefinitely. They may have already dissipated or reincarnated."
Though the chances were slim, Xiao Xiao was still deeply grateful. She repeatedly thanked Ye Wen and even gave him a tight hug.
"That… Perhaps I should handle this instead."
At this moment, Electrolux's cheerful, youthful voice rang out.
When Ye Wen had helped Electrolux resurrect, he hadn't just created a new body for him. Under the all-powerful divine energy, even Electrolux's consciousness had been largely restored. As a result, Electrolux had regained memories of his past and knowledge.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wen realized he had forgotten something important. While he wasn't particularly skilled in matters of the soul, Electrolux—though not a true god—was an expert in this field.
"How forgetful of me, Xiao Xiao. Electrolux is far more suited to help with this than I am."
Xiao Xiao immediately shifted her gaze, her large, watery eyes now fixed intently on Electrolux. How could an old man resist such an adorable loli's assault?
Electrolux chuckled helplessly and said to Xiao Xiao, "Give me a drop of your blood."
Without hesitation, Xiao Xiao pricked her finger and offered the blood to Electrolux.
Electrolux's mysterious, noble gray eyes narrowed slightly as a massive magical array spread beneath their feet.
Ye Wen, watching the array unfold, couldn't help but marvel.
No wonder this man was called the Plague of the Undead. Most of the runes within the array were unfamiliar to Ye Wen, and he couldn't immediately decipher their functions.
Soon, the blood from Xiao Xiao's hand floated upward, swirling continuously until it formed a crimson crystal. Within it, however, a golden light emerged, pointing toward the distance.
As the crystal slowly descended and the mystical array dissipated, Electrolux, now somewhat weakened, sat back down. He turned to Ye Wen and spoke softly.
"The rest is up to you, Master. The light within the crystal will guide you to the souls of Xiao Xiao's departed loved ones based on her spiritual resonance."
Ye Wen nodded faintly and took the crystal. Amidst Xiao Xiao's hopeful gaze, he soared into the sky.
After seeing Ye Wen off, Xiao Xiao turned her attention to Electrolux, who had entered a weakened state due to overexerting himself beyond his current level of power.
At this moment, an indescribable emotion began to brew in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
Thanks to Ye Wen's guidance, Huo Yu'er hadn't experienced the whirlwind of encounters and events that she had in the original timeline. Now, Huo Yu'er could focus solely on reaching the peak of her cultivation.
However, there were always those who couldn't stand to see Huo Yu'er thrive.
Seeing Dai Huabin blocking her path back to the dormitory, Huo Yu'er's eyes flashed with disdain.
When one possessed sufficient strength, the once-admired aura of nobility and power faded. To Huo Yu'er, Dai Huabin was no longer the aloof nobleman he once seemed—just a powerless clown throwing tantrums.
"Is there something?" Huo Yu'er asked indifferently.
Dai Huabin, who had initially approached with an aggressive demeanor, stiffened. Over the past year, Huo Yu'er had established a formidable reputation in Class One. Ordinary classmates didn't dare to speak to her casually.
But Dai Huabin quickly adjusted his mindset. He had long intended to confront her and wouldn't back down because of a single dismissive remark. After all, didn't the second son of the White Tiger Duke Family have his pride?
Dai Huabin stared directly into Huo Yu'er's eyes and declared solemnly, "Huo Yu'er, let's settle this once and for all. This time, I will take the position of class monitor from you."
In response, Huo Yu'er simply uttered two words.
"Boring."
She then brushed past Dai Huabin, leaving behind these parting words.
"The position doesn't belong to me. Go talk to Tang Wulin. I don't have time to play house with you."
"You!" Dai Huabin was furious and wanted to chase after her, but starting a fight here was impossible—it would violate Shrek Academy's rules and result in expulsion.
At this moment, a firm hand grabbed Dai Huabin's shoulder.
Tang Wulin, looking righteous, said, "Dai Huabin, please don't disturb Yu'er's cultivation. If you really want this position, I'll give it to you."
By now, Tang Wulin regretted accepting the role of class monitor. Initially, the position should have gone to Huo Yu'er, the strongest in Class One, but she had declined, citing her desire to focus on cultivation rather than deal with trivial matters.
Since Huo Yu'er's team was the strongest, the position naturally fell to Tang Wu Lin.
At first, Tang Wulin, with his male chauvinistic mindset, had gladly accepted it, thinking it was a great opportunity to showcase himself.
As for the results?
They could only be summarized as "nothing but trouble."
Thus, Tang Wulin truly hoped Dai Huabin would take over as class monitor.
However, ever since Tang Wulin revealed his Spirit of the Heaven Splitting Hammer, Dai Huabin had harbored deep apprehension toward him.
Although the Hao Tian Sect had withdrawn from the world, the terrifying legacy of ten Titled Douluo from a single sect ten thousand years ago still loomed large over the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, in this era, the number of Titled Douluo had increased exponentially, while the White Tiger Dai Family had fallen into decline.
Coupled with Tang Wulin's status as a genius with twin spirits, Dai Huabin dared not offend him.
But Dai Huabin, having been overshadowed by his older brother his entire life, was desperate to prove himself.
Though he didn't dare act against Tang Wulin, he settled for targeting Huo Yu'er, who had defeated him. Though she belonged to a sect, it was obscure and unknown, giving Dai Huabin the audacity to act recklessly.
In the end, Dai Huabin's expression fluctuated between anger and frustration. He could only glare at Tang Wulin before retorting bitterly.
"No need." With that, Dai Huabin left, suppressing his resentment.
