"Leader, there are a few survivors here. They were the ones who buried the villagers' remains," a member of the Shrek Enforcement Team said, approaching with a group of children whose clothes were stained with blood, their bodies dirty, and their eyes filled with confusion about the future.
The Enforcement Team leader came before the children and said apologetically, "I am very sorry that I could not arrive in time after such a tragedy befell your village. But children, praise the great Sea God! Under his blessing, you have survived. I am very glad that the tragedy of the entire village being wiped out did not occur."
"Enforcement Team Uncle, did you say the Sea God protected us so we could live?" a boy asked.
"Of course," the Enforcement Team leader replied, "the Sea God is merciful."
"But why did he watch our parents get killed by Evil Soul Masters?" another child asked.
"Child, it was not the great Sea God who allowed your parents to be harmed by Evil Soul Masters. You should hate those despicable Evil Soul Masters. The Sea God's love extends throughout the Douluo Continent, and he cannot possibly attend to everyone. For some, one can only say—"
The leader sighed and said, "It's fate!"
"But rest assured, we, upholding the Sea God's will, swear to eradicate all Evil Soul Masters and restore order to the Douluo Continent!" the leader declared righteously.
Just as they were about to leave, a tender voice suddenly called out to them.
"Please let me join the Shrek Enforcement Team too. I hope to follow you and eliminate Evil Soul Masters."
The leader turned his head, looking at the little girl with rose-colored long hair behind him in surprise. A member of the Enforcement Team said, "Our Shrek Enforcement Team isn't something just anyone can join. At the very least, there's one prerequisite: you must be a member of our Shrek Academy."
"Wait," the leader walked up to the little girl, took her hand, and sensed something, immediately showing a surprised expression. "You've awakened your Spirit. Who helped you awaken your Spirit?"
"I have a Spirit?" Little Hua Qiang asked, puzzled.
"Possessing a Spirit without awakening it?" The leader was greatly surprised, then quickly understood. "I've heard that some people, without systematic awakening, can still awaken their Spirit under specific conditions, but such people are extremely rare."
Saying that, he took out a crystal ball and said, "Come, place your hand on it. Let me see your talent."
Hua Qiang placed her hand on the crystal ball, and in an instant, the crystal emitted a dazzling light.
"This—this is Innate Full spirit power!" the leader exclaimed, deeply moved.
Shrek Academy never lacked geniuses in any era, but Innate Full spirit power was still enough to draw the serious attention of Shrek Academy.
Seeing this, the leader decided to take the girl to Shrek Academy.
With that thought, the leader immediately put on a kind and amiable expression and said, "Little girl, you can come with us. Only at our Shrek Academy can your talent be better utilized."
"Can you take me too? I also want to join you in eliminating Evil Soul Masters," He Hua said weakly.
"Uncle, can you also test He Hua?" Hua Qiang asked.
Because he had found a genius, the leader was in a very good mood, so he also awakened He Hua's Spirit. Her Spirit, like her name, was a pure white lotus flower.
However, when it came to the spirit power test, the leader looked at the faint ray of light emanating from the crystal ball and couldn't help but frown, saying, "Innate spirit power is only 2. I'm very sorry, but you don't qualify to join Shrek Academy. We only accept monsters, not trash."
After that, no matter how Hua Qiang tried to persuade him, the leader of the Enforcement Team refused to take He Hua back to Shrek Academy.
Helpless, Hua Qiang could only go to He Hua's side and comfort her, "He Hua, after I join Shrek Academy, I will definitely cultivate diligently to avenge our parents and the villagers."
He Hua, however, was still immersed in the leader's words about only accepting monsters and not trash, and nodded blankly.
After that, Hua Qiang went to Shrek Academy and trained desperately. In her 39th year, she advanced to Titled Douluo. Although she couldn't be called the youngest Titled Douluo, she could certainly be considered a monster and earned the title of one of the Shrek Seven Devils.
She joined the Shrek Enforcement Team and hunted down the Evil Soul Master organization that had massacred her village that year, eradicating them and fulfilling her vow.
She was like a sharp blade, reaping the lives of Evil Soul Masters who slaughtered the innocent. Under her leadership, the Shrek Enforcement Team thwarted Evil Soul Masters countless times before tragedies could occur, saving countless lives.
Later, an organization called the Evil Spirit Hall unified the scattered Evil Soul Masters, openly opposing Shrek Academy. Their targets shifted from ordinary people to Spirit Masters, to high-ranking officials, and to Shrek Academy itself.
They aimed to overturn the existing order of the Douluo Continent and establish an order dominated by Evil Soul Masters. The leader of this organization was a woman codenamed Snow Lotus.
Snow Lotus seemed very familiar with Hua Qiang and anticipated her several actions to suppress Evil Soul Masters, pushing Hua Qiang into desperate situations multiple times.
However, Shrek was, after all, a hegemonic force on the Douluo Continent. This time, Shrek Academy poured almost all its strength into dealing with this Evil Soul Master force, uniting the Two Great Empires and the Tang Sect, with numerous Sects joining forces to crush them, ultimately dismantling the Evil Spirit Hall.
At the headquarters of the Evil Spirit Hall, Hua Qiang and Snow Lotus engaged in their final confrontation. Ultimately, her Hell Rose pierced through Snow Lotus's palms and feet, nailing her body like a cross and shredding her flesh and blood.
"Your rose is absorbing my blood. You call us Evil Soul Masters, but aren't you one yourself?" the woman codenamed Snow Lotus said, blood staining the corners of her lips.
"That's different. Your hands reached out to innocent commoners, innocent people, while I kill only you demons."
"Demons, oh hahaha, Hua Qiang, what a hilarious joke you've made me hear," Snow Lotus laughed. "You say our hands reached out to innocent commoners. Yes, our hands are stained with the blood of countless innocents. But were all the people who died by our hands truly innocent? We are demons, but have you ever considered who birthed us demons?"
"What more do you have to say when death is at your doorstep?" Hua Qiang asked.
"Do you still remember me?" She shook her head and pulled down the mask on her face.
Hua Qiang stared at her in shock.
"You are He Hua."
