Fan Yu's Surprise: Huo Yuhao Was Far Too Shrewd

After learning that Huo Yuhao's soul skill possessed such tremendous potential for growth,

Fan Yu's disappointment was instantly swept away!

After all, he had said so himself before.

Huo Yuhao's soul skill was a good one.

Its drawback was that its detection range was insufficient.

But after hearing what Huo Yuhao had said,

that drawback seemed not to exist after all.

Because its detection range could continuously increase alongside Huo Yuhao's level.

Under those circumstances, if Huo Yuhao's future truly turned out as he had described,

then his potential would truly be immeasurable!

Thus, Fan Yu was now also greatly looking forward to whether the future Huo Yuhao could truly reach the level he had just described.

However, he was also a rigorous person.

What Huo Yuhao had said just now was merely his own claim.

There was no factual evidence to support it yet.

So Fan Yu did not intend to take Huo Yuhao as his disciple for the time being.

After thinking it over, he said to Huo Yuhao:

"Then let this be a test for you."

"If one day the detection range of your soul skill can exceed one hundred meters, come find me. I'll personally teach you how to use Soul Tools."

Huo Yuhao thanked Fan Yu. "All right, thank you, Teacher."

He did not feel disappointed.

Although he had failed to become a disciple directly and obtain a reward this time,

he had still received a promise from Fan Yu.

In the future, successfully becoming his disciple and receiving a reward was basically a certainty.

After all, he had only cultivated the Tian Xuan Gong and Primordial Beginning Power for a few days, yet they had already produced such results.

With that as a foundation, further breaking through his own limits and quickly raising his detection range beyond one hundred meters would be absurdly easy.

As long as he was given a little time, he would definitely accomplish it!

Naturally, Huo Yuhao was in no hurry.

"Cai Tou, come over."

After nodding at Huo Yuhao, Fan Yu did not say anything further.

He beckoned toward the crowd on the other side, and a youth immediately ran over.

This youth was about the same age as Bei Bei, but he was extremely tall, at least over two meters.

He was also a muscular brute. The hard, bulging muscles across his upper body gave off an explosively imposing feeling.

Upon seeing this youth, Huo Yuhao suddenly understood why Fan Yu had said earlier that his physique was too weak.

Indeed, compared to Cai Tou before him, he was much thinner.

"Teacher." The youth arrived before Fan Yu and respectfully called out to him.

Fan Yu nodded and said, "His name is Huo Yuhao. Take him around and show him the place. Explain to him what Fixed Soul Devices are as well."

"Sure!" The youth readily agreed and led Huo Yuhao off to one side.

Huo Yuhao also understood how to handle people.

He knew very well that when dealing with others, social etiquette mattered.

Sometimes, if one handled social relationships properly, others would willingly do things for them.

Yet some people possessed extraordinary strength but were arrogant and unruly, unable to manage interpersonal relationships.

Such people usually could not truly win others over. When they asked others to do something, they would receive vague responses and endless delays.

As a transmigrator, Huo Yuhao naturally had to make use of one of his strengths—socializing.

Thus, after walking only a few steps with He Caitou, he opened the conversation and took the initiative to say:

"Big Brother He, hello. My name is Huo Yuhao. I'm a new student at Shrek Academy. This is my first time encountering Soul Tools today, so there's a lot I don't understand. I'll have to rely on Big Brother He for guidance."

He Caitou froze slightly upon hearing that, but Huo Yuhao's politeness also left him with a favorable impression. He smiled. "Hehe, it's nothing. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask."

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked.

Though Huo Yuhao was young, once he began speaking, he quickly took control of the conversation.

While chatting, he carefully inquired about knowledge related to Soul Tools. At the same time, he found all sorts of ways to praise He Caitou without making it sound forced.

It made He Caitou's exchanges with him extremely comfortable.

He Caitou laughed so much he could barely close his mouth. Before long, Huo Yuhao no longer even needed to ask about many things; He Caitou took the initiative to teach him instead.

"Come, come, little brother Yuhao, take a look."

"This is one type of Fixed Soul Device."

"Look here."

"This is a special kind of Soul Tool that Teacher developed by drawing upon the wisdom of those who came before."

"It's used to launch long-range attacks, but it doesn't require much Soul Power."

"Come on, I'll use it once to show you."

As he spoke, he demonstrated it for Huo Yuhao, explaining everything in great detail.

After the demonstration, he proactively explained the principles behind it as well.

"See?"

"Simply put, it separates the Soul Tool and the attack weapon into two parts."

"The Soul Tool only serves to launch and detonate it. Just now, I used the Fixed Guided Cannon to fire the shell."

"The advantage of this special Soul Tool is that it consumes very little Soul Power, does not require exceptionally high cultivation to use, and is very powerful."

"But it also has drawbacks. It's difficult to aim, especially at moving targets, and it's particularly hard to hit them. So it's still being improved."

"..."

He Caitou explained everything to Huo Yuhao with exceptional seriousness.

After hearing He Caitou's explanation, Huo Yuhao understood just how formidable this type of Soul Tool was.

Moreover, it truly suited him.

After all, once he activated Mental Detection, Huo Yuhao could precisely locate targets from afar.

As long as his detection range was broad enough, he could truly bombard enemies from distant regions like he was launching long-range missiles.

As expected, advanced technology really is incredible.

Huo Yuhao could not help sighing inwardly.

He began to regard Soul Tools even more highly.

Even Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, restricted by both their own strength and available materials,

could create such powerful Soul Tools.

Then what if Huo Yuhao could master Soul Tools to the utmost in the future?

Combined with his own strength, as well as the other benefits he might obtain from the system,

he would definitely be able to defeat Tang San!

For a moment, his gaze became somewhat fervent.

Huo Yuhao continued chatting with He Caitou for a while.

He also learned a great deal more about Soul Tools from him.

Meanwhile, Fan Yu and Zhou Yi had been observing the two of them the entire time.

After watching them for a while,

Fan Yu could not help letting out a sigh.

"This kid is incredible."

"He's got Cai Tou completely under his thumb. He doesn't resemble a child his age at all."

"Instead, he's like a little old man—unbelievably shrewd."

He said this to Zhou Yi, clearly not expecting Huo Yuhao's social skills to be so outstanding.

Zhou Yi nodded in agreement as well.

"I only just realized how good this child is at socializing."

"Looks like we can settle on our class's Class Monitor."

"He has the strongest strength, and both his intelligence and emotional intelligence are high. The other students in the class are more than a step behind him. There's no need to keep choosing."
