BTTH : Treasure Exchange System

"Take care." After letting go of the delicate hand, the Little Fairy Doctor left behind these two words and, with a flushed face, turned and walked into the dense forest.

Watching the graceful figure slowly disappear into the forest, Xiao Se smiled and shrugged, following her from a distance until she returned to her team before turning to leave.

"Brother, you seem to care quite a bit about that girl named Little Fairy Doctor earlier," Long Kui's light-hearted voice suddenly rang in Xiao Se's ear.

Xiao Se smiled faintly and replied in his heart, "The Little Fairy Doctor is no simple character. She possesses a rather mysterious special constitution known as the Woeful Poison Body. This constitution is extremely rare, naturally poisonous, and anyone who touches it dies. Furthermore, those with this constitution can continually become stronger by ingesting poisons. The stronger the poison, the faster the improvement in their strength, with almost no upper limit. Of course, there are pros and cons—once the toxins in the body accumulate to a certain extent, the Woeful Poison Body becomes uncontrollable, and the person will ultimately perish in the heart of countless poisons."

Upon hearing this, Long Kui's expression grew serious, and she frowned slightly, replying, "Isn't she very dangerous then?"

Xiao Se smiled and said, "It depends on how the person uses it. In my eyes, no power is inherently good or evil. The key is how the person wielding that power acts."

[Beep, the one-month period has ended. The exchange opportunity has been refreshed. Congratulations to the host for receiving one exchange opportunity.]

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Xiao Se's lips curved slightly, and he quickened his pace.

Soon, thanks to Long Kui's sharp soul perception, Xiao Se found an abandoned cave near the edge of the Magic Beasts Mountains. He scattered high-level magical beast dung and concealing powder, then sat cross-legged inside the cave to restore his fighting energy to its peak before beginning the exchange.

This time, he wanted to try and see if he could exchange for something like fire.

With a slight curl of his right palm, a bluish-white flame rose from Xiao Se's hand. "Let's add a bit more."

Without delay, Xiao Se took out a first-level Core of the Demon Ape he had bought and quickly roasted it into a medicinal liquid that floated in the center of the flame.

"System, exchange the flame in my hand."

[Beep, congratulations to the host for exchanging for Dai Mubai's level 10 soul power from the world of Douluo Continent.]

Douluo Continent.

In the Shrek Academy playground.

The headmaster of Shrek Academy, Flender, looked at the three students lined up in front of him with a smile, nodded, and said, "Good, very good. Today, I am pleased to announce that the academy has not only welcomed Oscar as a new student, but Dai Mubai has also reached level 30 in soul power this morning. With one more soul ring, he will break the record for the youngest Soul Elder in the academy's history. First, on behalf of the academy, congratulations to him."

Upon hearing that Dai Mubai had reached level 30, Oscar looked at Dai Mubai in shock and exclaimed, "A Soul Elder at thirteen." He had originally thought that, as a food-type soul master with innate full soul power, reaching Soul Grandmaster level at twelve was already extraordinary. He never expected that there was a Soul Elder among the students at thirteen, a feat he knew he could not surpass.

Beside him, Ma Hongjun was also full of admiration and excitement, saying, "Wow, Dai Mubai, you are amazing. Breaking through to Soul Elder at thirteen. I have to admit I'm impressed."

"Hehe, as long as you work hard too, I believe you won't be far behind me at my age," Dai Mubai replied with a light smile and a proud posture. Although he was being modest, the pride in his words was unmistakable.

"Mubai is right. Xiao Ao, Hongjun, you both have excellent talent. One is an innate full soul power food-type soul master, and the other has a powerful Beast Martial Soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix. With effort, surpassing Mubai in the future is not impossible," Flender said earnestly, encouraging Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

"Yes, Headmaster," Oscar and Ma Hongjun responded in unison.

Their voices were filled with excitement. It was clear that Dai Mubai's promotion to Soul Elder had a significant impact on them, though how long this impact would last remained unknown.

Looking at the spirited Ma Hongjun and Oscar, Flender nodded in satisfaction, cleared his throat, and continued, "Originally, today was supposed to be for your new lessons, but since Mubai has reached level 30, the planned lessons are canceled. Today, you all should rest and recover. Tomorrow, I will personally lead the team to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Mubai hunt for his third soul ring."

"Hongjun, you should come with me to the store later," Flender said to Ma Hongjun.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he quickly responded, "Yes, Headmaster."

Flender's store was located in Suotuo City, and Ma Hongjun following him to the store wasn't just for shopping but also to deal with the issues caused by his Martial Soul's Evil Fire.

Hearing this, Dai Mubai's mouth curved into a slight smile. He walked up to Ma Hongjun, patted his shoulder, and jokingly said, "Fatty, take it easy. Be careful not to get drained."

"Go, go. Don't underestimate the Evil Fire Martial Soul owner. But you, changing girlfriends every few days, should be more cautious," Ma Hongjun retorted with a push.

"Mubai, what are you talking about?" Oscar, still new, didn't understand their banter and asked Dai Mubai in confusion.

Dai Mubai shook his head with a smile and said, "It's nothing. You'll understand eventually."

"Mubai, Xiao Ao is new here and unfamiliar with the academy. Show him around and find a new dorm room for him. It's too cramped for three big guys in one dorm room," Flender instructed Dai Mubai.

"Leave it to me, Headmaster," Dai Mubai readily agreed and led Oscar toward the dormitory. He had already thought about how to make Oscar call him 'Big Brother Dai.'

Soon, they arrived at a hut near the dormitory.

Entering and using his soul power to blow away the dust, Dai Mubai turned to Oscar and said, "Xiao Ao, how about this room? It's a bit dirty now, but I'll get the nearby villagers to clean it up. You can move in tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Mubai felt his vision go dark, his forehead breaking into a cold sweat, and his steps faltered, nearly collapsing. Fortunately, Oscar reacted quickly, supporting him and asking with concern, "Mubai, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Nothing..." Before he could finish, Dai Mubai felt a surge of evil fire in his abdomen, his lower body swelling, and his entire body turned a fiery red, radiating heat.
