Chapter 244: The Transformation of Huo Girl
In a dark and damp cave shrouded in blackness, a miserable wail made one's hair stand on end.
"The seventeenth..."
A hoarse and sharp whisper broke the silence. Beneath a wide black robe, a pale and pretty face was slightly raised, revealing bloodshot eyes filled with malice. At the center of her forehead was a black-purple scythe-shaped mark. The contours of her shapely body could be faintly seen under the wide robe.
"Shrek... the pain you've brought me, I will make you repay a hundredfold!"
A month had passed, and during this time, she had killed seventeen former students of Shrek Academy, both from the inner court after graduation and those from the outer court who didn't enter the inner court.
Yes, she was Huo Yuhao. But now, she had completely transformed into a woman.
After being relentlessly exploited by Ma Xiaotao for a week, the lucid Ma Xiaotao, devastated by losing her virginity due to Huo Yuhao, not only severely injured him when he was already at his last gasp but also committed suicide by self-immolation.
When Huo Yuhao, who was kicked fiercely by Ma Xiaotao, was on the brink of death, the scythe mark on his forehead saved his life but also transformed him into her.
Under the surge of intense resentment and hatred, the mark on her forehead was stimulated by these negative emotions. The black-purple energy continuously released from the scythe mark and flowed into Huo Yuhao's dying body. Although she did not understand this power, she knew it could save her, and that was enough.
Under the wash of the black-purple energy, Huo Yuhao was completely lost in the process of transformation, oblivious to the dramatic changes in her body.
Her dignity as a man already lost, her deep blue hair gradually grew longer but lightened in color until it turned pale. Her skin, rough and sallow from extreme physical exertion, gradually became fair and delicate, like the finest jade.
Her Adam's apple disappeared, her chest began to rise, her back became more pronounced, her legs turned soft and long, and even her lower body completely transformed into that of a woman.
Originally a normal young man, under the transformation of the black-purple energy, he turned into a stunningly beautiful and voluptuous woman.
At that moment, if someone from ten thousand years ago were reborn and saw Huo Yuhao's current face, they would be shocked beyond measure because although her features still bore some resemblance to Huo Yuhao, she now looked more like a powerful being from ten thousand years ago who dominated the world and reached the level of a first-tier god.
The Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong.
When Huo Yuhao came to her senses, the first thing she noticed was the change in her body. Surprisingly, she felt no aversion to her new face.
Nor did she feel devastated about becoming a woman but rather naturally accepted her new identity. Having already lost her male dignity due to Ma Xiaotao's torment, what was there to not accept about completely becoming a woman?
Though she did not mind becoming a woman, and was even a beautiful one at that, Ma Xiaotao's actions and the torment she endured still fueled her heart with growing resentment. Influenced by the scythe mark on her forehead, this resentment was magnified countless times.
After becoming a woman, Huo Yuhao seemed to gain some fragmented memories. Though she couldn't access these memories, they significantly altered her thinking and personality as if she had matured overnight.
She reflected on her five years at Shrek Academy, considering every day she spent there. Naïve at the time, under the halo of being at the number one academy on the Shrek Continent, she had blindly followed Shrek Academy's teaching methods and even voluntarily increased her training load.
But now, she realized that Shrek had ruined her life! Especially the continuous exploitation of her potential, which, in her already inherently deficient state, led to her struggling every step of the way after breaking through the Soul Honor level. While her peers were advancing past Soul King, she had just broken through Soul Ancestor.
The scythe mark on her forehead seemed to actively steer her towards a pit of anger and resentment. Already clouded by negative emotions, it was no surprise that she saw Shrek as the enemy responsible for all her grievances.
Even though Shrek Academy was destroyed, she continued to unleash her fury on former students of Shrek.
Looking at the lifeless, terrified face in front of her, Huo Yuhao emotionlessly extended her left hand and gently clenched it.
A deep purple light flashed in her hand, eventually forming a sinister and massive scythe.
Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
This was the second soul she awakened after becoming a woman, a gift from the scythe mark on her forehead.
The giant Rakshasa Demon Scythe, light as a feather in Huo Yuhao's hand, swung with ease.
"A Soul Emperor should elevate my soul power to the Soul King level," Huo Yuhao murmured, lifting the scythe in her left hand high.
With a swift motion, the shimmering scythe's blade pierced through the corpse's chest, plunging into the heart.
A sound akin to gulping water echoed from the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, as if the scythe itself was drinking the blood, which was indeed the case. Blood-red light slowly flowed over the scythe, and the body it impaled gradually withered until it completely turned to ash.
And Huo Yuhao, her face bearing a striking resemblance to Bibi Dong, genuinely revealed a trace of satisfaction and pleasure.
After completely devouring the dead Soul Emperor, a strong wave of soul power radiated from Huo Yuhao.
Breakthrough, level 50!
A month ago, drained nearly to death and kicked to near death by Ma Xiaotao, she had only taken half a month to progress from a dying Soul Ancestor at level 42 to a near Soul King at level 50!
Eight levels in half a month—plundering was undeniably the fastest way to gain resources and strength.
Having completed her breakthrough, Huo Yuhao slowly opened her eyes, which had transformed from a clear sky blue to a bewitching and enticing purple-red. The exhilaration of rapidly advancing in soul power brought a mesmerizing gleam to her eyes.
"Mother, rest assured, I will soon become strong enough to single-handedly annihilate the Duke White Tiger's estate!" Huo Yuhao bit her silver teeth, her eyes burning with a hatred and anger a hundred times greater than that towards Ma Xiaotao.
"I've changed my mind. Dai Hao, that old dog, doesn't deserve to see you. His only use is to be turned to ash by my Rakshasa Demon Scythe!"
Yuhao, Yuhao...
Heh, is there any need for that name anymore...
"Mother, I will carry on your Huo surname, but I no longer wish to be called Yuhao. Please forgive me..."
