"Alright! Then I'll give you some time!"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's reply, Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

After all, she had once thought that Huo Yuhao was just as foolish and thoughtless as the others.

But from the look of things now—

Huo Yuhao was different from them.

He had ideas of his own.

Perhaps he really was worth looking forward to!

Thus, Zhou Yi did not rush Huo Yuhao to give his answer.

Instead, she agreed to his request and waited for his response.

On the other side—

After hearing Huo Yuhao say that, Wang Dong was puzzled as well.

Confusion appeared on her delicate little face.

Resting her cheek on her hand, she muttered to herself:

"Could it be... that this Dirty Scoundrel really has some unique insight?"

"But that can't be right!"

"Agility Attack, Power Attack, and Control are more offensively inclined, while Defense, Support, and Food are more defensively inclined."

"That should be an eternal truth... How could there possibly be a problem with it?"

Wang Dong rubbed her little head.

All of a sudden, she wanted to hear how Huo Yuhao would answer as well.

She wanted to see whether he could give an answer that would truly convince her.

"Hmph, putting on an act!"

"Everyone else is drunk, but he alone is sober?"

"None of the others can answer it, but he can?"

"I don't believe it! He just wants to attract the teacher's and the girls' attention! What a clown!"

Of course, not everyone was friendly.

Among the students, there were still some male students who held a grudge against Huo Yuhao.

After hearing what Huo Yuhao had said, those students became even more displeased.

They snorted coldly and stared ahead with unhappy expressions.

They intended to wait and watch Huo Yuhao make a fool of himself.

Huo Yuhao ignored everyone else's stares.

He stood where he was, thinking things through and organizing his thoughts.

Once he had sorted out his train of thought—

He looked at Zhou Yi. "Teacher, I'm ready."

Zhou Yi nodded at him, signaling for him to answer.

Huo Yuhao did not stand on ceremony and spoke directly:

"The question Teacher asked just now was: among the Power Attack, Agility Attack, Support, Food, Defense, and Control Systems, which are better at offense, and which are better at defense and support?"

"Wang Dong's answer was that the Power Attack, Agility Attack, and Control Systems lean more toward offense, while the Support, Food, and Defense Systems lean more toward defense and support."

Huo Yuhao first restated the earlier question and answer.

Then he continued:

"Wang Dong's answer would not have been wrong if it were set more than four thousand years ago, before the Sun Moon Continent collided with our Douluo Continent."

"Because at that time, Soul Masters were still traditional Soul Masters."

"Although Soul Tools had already appeared on Douluo Continent by then—"

"At that stage, Soul Tool development had only just begun. Even with Soul Tools, they could not greatly increase a Soul Master's strength."

Huo Yuhao paused here.

"But times have changed."

"Over the past several thousand years, Soul Tools have developed at a rapid pace."

"What the Sun Moon Empire brought back then were more precious methods for crafting Soul Tools. After several thousand years of development, Soul Tool craftsmanship has become increasingly refined, and their power has grown ever greater."

"This means that even a Food System Soul Master, if armed with a sufficiently powerful Soul Tool, can unleash offensive power no weaker than that of a Power Attack Battle Soul Master—perhaps even stronger."

"And if an Agility Attack System Soul Master wields a powerful Defense System Soul Tool, then they can temporarily serve the role of a Defense System Soul Master."

Huo Yuhao stated his conclusion:

"So that was why the teacher said Wang Dong's answer was incorrect."

"Because Wang Dong had not taken Soul Tools into consideration."

"With Soul Tools developing as rapidly as they are now, in most circumstances, during battles between Soul Masters, Soul Tools actually play a greater role than the Soul Masters themselves."

"This situation will not remain unchanged forever, but if one wants to improve it, one must at least reach level ninety or above."

Huo Yuhao stopped there.

As his words fell, the entire classroom sank into silence!

Almost everyone had been moved by Huo Yuhao's words!

They all felt that what he said made perfect sense.

The students who had previously thought he was putting on an act and had grown dissatisfied with him all fell silent.

Even they had to admit that Huo Yuhao was right. There was simply nothing to criticize.

"He knows so much!"

The neutral students were slightly stunned after hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation. When they looked at him again, their gazes carried a hint of admiration.

"So that was it. I forgot about Soul Tools."

"Who would have thought that this Dirty Scoundrel actually knew so much?"

"Fine, I lost again this time, but I'm completely convinced by my loss."

Wang Dong also looked at Huo Yuhao with a face full of surprise.

Though she was strong-willed and still somewhat angry about having her butt spanked last time, she was someone who could accept defeat.

Huo Yuhao's answer had convinced her. She conceded wholeheartedly and even felt a trace of admiration for him.

But Wang Dong still refused to submit to him.

She resolved that she would definitely surpass Huo Yuhao.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Zhou Yi smiled and applauded Huo Yuhao.

"Well said!"

"Huo Yuhao's answer was extremely incisive!"

She was simply too satisfied with Huo Yuhao's response.

Because his answer had been practically flawless.

Not only had he accurately grasped the professional characteristics of Soul Masters, but he had also not overlooked the role of Soul Tools.

This was precisely what Soul Masters of their era needed to learn.

Therefore, Zhou Yi spared no praise for Huo Yuhao.

Afterward, she added further points based on Huo Yuhao's answer.

She also explained some of her own teaching philosophy to the students.

In summary, it was the integration of Soul Masters and Soul Tools.

After all, the times had changed.

Those who fell behind would be beaten.

Since Soul Tools already existed, Soul Masters naturally had to learn how to use them properly.

During this time, she also gave Huo Yuhao several opportunities to share his own thoughts.

She clearly thought highly of Huo Yuhao, so she did not restrict him in the slightest.

Huo Yuhao performed exceptionally well too.

After all, he was a transmigrator and knew the entire history of Douluo Continent.

Thus, he not only understood Soul Tools, but also had a clear grasp of their prospects for development.

For example, what Soul Tools would become ten thousand years in the future.

Huo Yuhao merely sketched a rough outline of these things, yet it was already enough to leave everyone dumbfounded.

By the end, it was not only the students in the class.

Even Zhou Yi's gaze toward Huo Yuhao had become entirely different.

"This child is definitely a genius!"

"He will surely have boundless prospects in the future!"

After that round of explanation, Zhou Yi's first lesson finally came to an end.

Through this lesson, many students in the class had benefited greatly.

And through this lesson, both Zhou Yi and the other students in the class gained a clear understanding of Huo Yuhao.

He was absolutely a super genius!

After class, the students left one after another.

But Huo Yuhao did not head back right away.

Instead, he went to Zhou Yi's office to find her.

Zhou Yi had already told him that after school, she would take him somewhere.

Huo Yuhao knew it was the Soul Tool Department.

He had long wanted to learn about Soul Tools.
