Han Yu looked left and right and found that the seat by the window in the very back row had already been taken by a fatty, so he casually found a seat and sat down.
He found that Class Nine's atmosphere was much better than Class One's. At the very least, it didn't have that trembling, fearful air.
Everyone's expressions were calm. Some students were whispering to one another, some were listening attentively, and a small number were doing their own things.
Judging from their auras, most of them were between one ring and two rings. For people of their age, their strength already surpassed most soul masters.
As expected of a place where geniuses gather! Han Yu sighed inwardly.
"All right, today our class has a new transfer student. Han Yu, introduce yourself to everyone!"
His butt had barely warmed the seat when Mu Jin, on the podium, called his name.
"Han Yu!"
Han Yu could only stand up. After thinking about it, he realized there was nothing much to introduce, so he simply kept it brief.
The other students in Class Two had clearly all heard Han Yu's name as well. Some of them had even seen him—the guy who had become famous in the cafeteria on the very first day of registration.
The somewhat quiet classroom instantly filled with chirping chatter like a flock of little birds.
A red-haired short-haired girl whispered to a golden short-haired girl beside her, "Young mistress, that's Han Yu. I heard he beat Dai Huabin up really badly. Apparently his belly even got big."
The blond girl addressed as young mistress blushed slightly and snapped in a delicate tone, "Feng Mei, I told you, that's just a rumor. It wasn't anywhere near as exaggerated as you're saying."
Wu Feng's expression turned strange, and her tone was actually quite serious. "Young mistress, it's all true. It's already spreading like crazy outside. They're saying this Han Yu is a pervert. He only glared at Dai Huabin once, and Dai Huabin started shouting there, 'No, no.' Lots of people heard it. The information is absolutely reliable."
"And look at Han Yu's self-introduction. It was only his name. At one glance, he's not someone easy to get along with. Maybe he really is a pervert."
Hearing this, a trace of curiosity flashed through Ning Tian's eyes. As the young mistress of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, her attention naturally was not on the surface.
Everyone else said Han Yu was a pervert, but in her eyes, Han Yu was very strong. Being able to subdue Dai Huabin in an instant was enough to prove his strength. Someone like him was exactly the kind of person she needed to befriend.
This was also her purpose in coming to Shrek Academy. Her clan needed a powerful Sect Protecting Douluo, and she needed a powerful husband.
Everyone else had come to improve their strength, while she had come to find a husband. Thinking of this, her face flushed slightly.
Carefully sizing up Han Yu, Ning Tian could not help nodding inwardly. He was handsome, had a good bearing, and was very strong. Overall, he looked extremely good.
Hearing Han Yu's brief introduction, Mu Jin on the platform froze slightly, her expression a little dazed and cute.
She had not expected Han Yu to pull something like this. She immediately nodded and said, "Very well. Student Han Yu, sit down first. We'll continue the lesson."
She had a very favorable impression of Han Yu. After all, he had harshly punished her "love rival."
And she had no idea which loose-lipped teacher had spread the news about Zhou Yi losing a chunk, but now, across the entire academy, most of the outer court teachers knew about it.
Now there would be dirt on Zhou Yi for people to mock her with in the future. Mu Jin smiled slightly at Han Yu, turned around, and wrote two words on the blackboard.
Attack, defense!
After writing them, she turned back to look at the students and smiled. "Everyone should recognize these two words, so I'm sure you understand what they mean as well."
"Our class has soul masters from every series. So now, I'll explain to you the way of attack and defense for soul masters."
"Then, among all soul master series, who is better at attacking, and who is better at defending?"
"Wu Feng, you answer."
Wu Feng, who had been whispering below, stiffened. Like a student caught slacking off in class, she stood up with an awkward look.
"Uh! Let me think."
Wu Feng's head felt a little dizzy. She had not heard clearly what Mu Jin had been talking about just now, so she looked toward Ning Tian somewhat pleadingly.
"Who is better at attacking, and who is better at defending." Ning Tian understood instantly and moved her lips.
Wu Feng roughly understood, then looked at the blackboard again and said, "Attack and defense. Soul masters with powerful attacks are better at attacking, right? As for defense, soul masters with powerful defense should be better at that, right?"
Hahaha!
Hearing Wu Feng's answer, the whole class burst into laughter.
Ning Tian, beside her, also had the corners of her mouth twitching. Clearly, she had been quite shaken by it too.
It sounded like there was nothing wrong with what she said, but somehow, no matter how one listened, it felt funny.
Mu Jin's brows curved as she said with some amusement, "I asked you to say which soul master series is good at attacking and which is good at defending. But you, well, you said something that's the same as saying nothing."
"Ah?"
Wu Feng knew she had made a huge fool of herself, and her face flushed red. Then she reacted and stated her understanding.
"Then it should be the assault system and the defense system!"
"After all, my own attacks are still very strong, and I belong to the assault system too."
Mu Jin nodded, gesturing for Wu Feng to sit down. Then she glanced at Han Yu, who looked utterly composed, and said, "Student Han Yu, what are your thoughts on who is better at attacking and defending?"
Han Yu stood up and said, "I believe soul masters in directions such as the control system, agility attack system, and assault system are better at attacking. After all, they're all good at frontal combat."
"As for soul masters with defensive martial souls, their martial souls are innately powerful in defense, so they're most suited to defense."
Hearing that Han Yu also agreed with her understanding, though what he said was a little different from hers,
Wu Feng's gaze toward Han Yu softened slightly.
Although Soul Tools provided enhancement, the result of an assault system soul master holding a Soul Tool versus an auxiliary system soul master holding a Soul Tool naturally went without saying.
Mu Jin nodded, gesturing for Han Yu to sit down. Then she swept her gaze over the surrounding students and said in a low voice, "Just now, students Han Yu and Wu Feng were only half right. If this were in the past, there would naturally be no problem with saying that."
"But now, the situation has already changed."
"Is it because of Soul Tools?"
Ning Tian, beside Wu Feng, blurted out.
Mu Jin gave Ning Tian an approving look and nodded. "That's right. Ever since the Sun Moon Empire collided with Douluo Continent four thousand years ago and brought Soul Tools with it, attack and defense have now become blurred."
"Defense system soul masters can hold Soul Tools with powerful attacks and temporarily possess sufficiently strong offensive power, while auxiliary soul masters can also equip Soul Tools with powerful defense and temporarily take up a defensive position."
"That is why the problem of blurred attack and defense has now emerged."
After Mu Jin finished speaking, Ning Tian nodded in deep agreement. Their sect had already begun using Soul Tools, and they had a deep understanding of how formidable Soul Tools were.
However, there were not many high-level Soul Tools within the sect. As the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, whose wealth could be called number one on the continent, it was not that they could not afford them.
Rather, it was because the Sun Moon Empire had listed high-level Soul Tools as prohibited goods. Even if the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had more money, they still could not obtain them. Over there, privately selling high-level Soul Tools was treated as treason.
Han Yu frowned and said, "Then the assault system is still the best at attacking. A sheep is always a sheep. So what if it holds a Soul Tool?"
"If a wolf and a sheep hold the same weapon, can the sheep beat the wolf? At most, it can only be considered making up for its innate weakness."
