And at this moment...
Accompanied by that cold and familiar System notification sound ringing in his mind once again...
Liu Yuan felt every pore on his body relax, his heart filled with incomparable excitement.
"It's here! It's finally here!"
Liu Yuan almost jumped up from the ground, his face overflowing with uncontrollable joy.
The System mission—it was back!
To be honest, these three months of step-by-step Cultivation had truly driven him nearly insane.
The feeling of watching his spirit power bar grow at a snail's pace was absolute torture for a Transmigrator accustomed to rocket-like leveling.
He muttered to himself, "As expected, using cheats is the way to go! Cultivating step-by-step is just too tedious!"
Without the System, he might still have become a powerhouse, but that would have taken decades or even centuries.
With the System, he could fast-forward through countless periods of slow progress!
So, using the System to level up was definitely much better!
"What kind of mission did it give me this time?"
With an excited heart, Liu Yuan immediately immersed his mind into the System interface and began to inspect the details of the mission.
A pale blue virtual light screen slowly unfolded before his eyes.
[Time-Limited Mission: Evil Hunt]
[Mission Description: Within the borders of the Sun Moon Empire, an insane Eight-Ring Evil Soul Master has appeared. This person practices an evil Cultivation Technique, surviving specifically by harvesting the life essence and Soul of young girls. His sins are monstrous. Host, please head there, eliminate him completely, and rid the people of this scourge!]
[Mission Objective: Hunt the Evil Soul Master — "Ghost Infant Douluo" Gu Qi.]
[Target Information: Level 85 spirit power cultivation, Spirit 'Ghost Infant Banner', cunning personality, and mysterious movements.]
[Current Location: Sun Moon Empire, Xiewa City.]
[Mission Time Limit: Ten days.]
[Mission Reward: Sixth god-bestowed spirit ring (Automatically adapted to Spirit · Mega Rayquaza)!]
Looking at the information on the light screen, Liu Yuan's gaze instantly became bone-chillingly cold.
Harvesting young girls...
Just these few words caused a thick surge of killing intent to rise uncontrollably from the depths of his heart.
In both his past and present lives, what he hated most were scum who targeted the innocent and weak.
"A Level 85 Spirit Douluo, huh..." Liu Yuan's brow furrowed slightly as his fingers unconsciously tapped the ground.
This was indeed the strongest human he would have to face head-on to date.
An Eight-Ring Evil Soul Master was someone even Ma Xiaotao couldn't hold a candle to...
But so what?
A cold arc curled at the corner of Liu Yuan's mouth.
He wasn't alone now.
He had the Vicious Beast Snow Empress, who had lived for seven hundred thousand years and possessed combat power comparable to a Limit Douluo;
Moreover, this wasn't the Soul Master Tournament.
When encountering an Evil Soul Master, he wouldn't honestly take the field himself.
He could simply summon the true bodies of Mega Rayquaza and Primal Kyogre directly...
So, hunting an Eight-Ring Evil Soul Master was quite a stable prospect.
...
"Let's go!"
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan didn't hesitate in the slightest. He immediately stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the cultivation room.
However, before leaving, he had to go ask for a leave of absence.
Of course, with his current status as a Duke, wanting to take a leave was naturally effortless.
Inside the Sun Moon Royal Academy, Jing Hongchen was debugging a massive ninth-tier soul tool cannon. Seeing Liu Yuan arrive, he was only slightly surprised.
"Is something the matter?" Jing Hongchen wiped the machine oil off his hands and spoke succinctly.
"Dean, I need to take a long leave of absence to handle some private matters," Liu Yuan said directly.
Jing Hongchen agreed without even thinking.
"You may. Your strength and status mean you no longer need to be bound by the academy's rules. Go, and be careful."
Regarding Liu Yuan, Jing Hongchen's attitude was very clear.
This was a Prodigy who needed to be won over and befriended, but absolutely could not be restricted.
As long as he didn't do anything to harm the Empire, giving him maximum freedom was the unanimous decision of the Imperial Family and Mingde Hall.
"Thank you, Dean."
Having received permission, Liu Yuan didn't linger and turned to quickly leave the academy.
Returning to the grand Dukes Mansion, he went straight to the second floor and pushed open Snow Empress's luxurious bedroom, which was comparable to a princess's room in an imperial palace.
As expected, this ruler of the far north was lying sprawled out on a huge soft bed covered in velvet, sleeping soundly.
Liu Yuan walked up and unceremoniously pinched her tender little nose.
"Mmm... who..."
