Fan Yu's Surprise: What a Soul Tool Genius!

Seeing Fan Yu appear,

Huo Yuhao's expression grew somewhat serious.

After all, becoming Fan Yu's disciple was of great significance to him at this point.

Through Fan Yu, Huo Yuhao could step through the doors of Soul Tools and begin learning how to make them.

At the same time, he could obtain new blind boxes and unlock new system abilities.

All of this would be immensely helpful when dealing with Tang San in the future.

Thus, he stood silently at the back, waiting for an opportunity to show himself.

Fan Yu was clearly quite surprised when he saw Zhou Yi.

Seeing Zhou Yi arrive, Fan Yu could not help asking, "Zhou Yi, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Yi's gaze became somewhat excited. "Do you remember what you told me last time?"

Fan Yu immediately looked helpless. "I've told you plenty of things. How am I supposed to know which one you mean? If there's nothing important, go back first. I still have a lot of experiments to do."

Zhou Yi rolled her eyes at him irritably. "Would I have come looking for you if there was nothing? I mean what you said last time about a spiritual-type Soul Engineer using Soul Tools."

Fan Yu had originally been anxious to return to his experiments.

But after hearing Zhou Yi say that, his eyes immediately lit up.

He looked toward Huo Yuhao and asked, "Does he possess a spiritual Martial Soul?"

Zhou Yi nodded. "That's right. His name is Huo Yuhao. He's a new student this year, and his Original Martial Soul is the Spirit Eye."

Fan Yu began carefully examining Huo Yuhao at the side.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao straightened his back.

However, after inspecting him, Fan Yu still shook his head at Zhou Yi. "No. His body and Soul Power are both far too weak."

"I'm afraid he can't even lift the weakest Soul Tool. And from what I can see, his talent is average as well. He falls far short of my requirements."

Zhou Yi snorted in dissatisfaction. "What do you mean, average talent? He's the most talented student in our class!"

Fan Yu froze for a moment. "Are the students in your class really this poor this year?"

Fan Yu could not really be blamed for that.

After all, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level was not high right now, and his body was not particularly strong either.

Though his true combat strength was formidable, Fan Yu had never seen it. How could he possibly know how capable Huo Yuhao was?

If Wang Dong had been standing here instead, he would not have thought that way, since Wang Dong possessed Soul Power in the twenties.

But judging Huo Yuhao purely by appearance, he did indeed seem rather ordinary.

Zhou Yi could no longer hold herself back and said to Fan Yu,

"My student is no ordinary person."

"Although his Soul Power Level is a little low, his actual combat ability is extremely strong."

"At such a young age, he has already created his own Soul Skill. Moreover, he entered Shrek Academy through the Special Assessment."

This time, Fan Yu no longer dared to underestimate Huo Yuhao.

As an academy teacher, he naturally knew what the so-called "Special Assessment" entailed.

It was an extremely difficult assessment that required candidates to endure for the time it took to burn an incense stick against a three-ring Soul Elder.

That was not something an ordinary new student could accomplish.

And Zhou Yi had just mentioned a Self-Created Soul Skill.

That made Fan Yu even more astonished.

He could create his own Soul Skill at such a young age?

This was a promising seedling indeed!

After a brief daze, Fan Yu could not help saying, "It seems I underestimated this child?"

"He looks completely ordinary, yet he's actually this impressive."

Zhou Yi smiled faintly. "Isn't that so? And his Soul Skill is what's truly impressive. You'll find out soon enough."

Fan Yu became much more interested as he looked at Huo Yuhao.

Zhou Yi hurriedly signaled Huo Yuhao with her eyes, telling him to use his First Soul Skill.

Huo Yuhao nodded at this.

He immediately circulated the Tian Xuan Gong and Primordial Beginning Power within his body.

A milky-white Soul Ring emerged from his body.

A faint light began flickering from the Soul Ring.

"A Ten-Year Soul Ring? Is it really that low?"

Fan Yu had initially voiced his doubts when he saw Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring.

But suddenly, a strange sensation welled up in his heart.

Fan Yu knew this was Huo Yuhao's doing and did not resist, allowing Huo Yuhao to complete the Mental Sharing.

This left him stunned.

He discovered that his observation of everything around him had become extraordinarily detailed.

With a casual glance, he could clearly sense all the information within that area.

And the range was astonishingly vast!

It had to be at least sixty or seventy meters in diameter!

Fan Yu was immediately overjoyed.

In his eyes, Huo Yuhao's Soul Skill was simply incredible!

Moreover, it was naturally suited for Fixed Soul Devices.

If the range of his detection could grow further, reaching several hundred meters or even exceeding a thousand meters,

then once they reached the battlefield, Huo Yuhao would become a terrifying superweapon.

He would only need to stand far behind a Fixed Soul Device and kill people freely from over a thousand meters away.

The thought of such a terrifying situation alone sent a chill through one's heart, because such attacks would be impossible to guard against.

Thus, Fan Yu quickly looked at Huo Yuhao again and asked the question he cared about most.

"Huo Yuhao, what is the maximum range of your Mental Detection?"

Huo Yuhao answered Fan Yu, "About seventy meters in diameter."

At present, a diameter of seventy meters was already Huo Yuhao's limit.

After all, at the same point in the original story, Huo Yuhao's range had only been thirty meters in diameter.

Huo Yuhao had only possessed the system for a few days at most.

Even though he cultivated the Tian Xuan Gong and Primordial Beginning Power, it was impossible for him to soar to the heavens in a single step. Achieving this much was already very impressive.

Yet Fan Yu was not satisfied.

After all, the reason he had initially believed Huo Yuhao's skill to be unbeatable

was mainly because he had thought its detection range was vast.

Fixed Soul Devices needed nothing more than broad and precise detection range.

That was because it allowed the user to launch attacks at enemies from extremely far away.

Firing at an enemy without warning from over a thousand meters away—not only would the enemy be unable to react in time,

but even if they did react, they would be unable to counterattack the user, because the distance between them was simply too great.

But if that distance were reduced to merely seventy meters,

then it would truly be of little use.

Given Fan Yu's perspective, the matters he considered involved battlefields and opponents at the level of Titled Douluo.

And if it were to be used for such things, seventy meters was simply far too close.

Thus, he could not help letting out a sigh.

"What a pity."

"It's a good skill, but the detection range is insufficient. Otherwise, it would truly be unbeatable."

But Huo Yuhao spoke again at that moment. "However, Teacher Fan Yu, the detection range of my Soul Skill changes as my Soul Power increases."

"In other words, I'm only level fourteen now, yet I can already detect a range of seventy meters. If I continue growing in the future and break through to Soul Emperor, or even Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, or Titled Douluo—"

"Then my detection range will definitely grow along with it."

"By then, not to mention a thousand meters. I think even ten thousand meters could be worth attempting."

Huo Yuhao voiced his thoughts to Fan Yu.

Fan Yu had initially been somewhat disappointed.

But after hearing Huo Yuhao say this, he was instantly stunned.

"The detection range increases along with Soul Power? Now that is impressive!"
