The Possibilities of Wisdom Path Gu Worms

The lunch break lasted less than two hours.

When Huo Yuhao woke from meditation, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Dong sitting on her bed, staring intently at him.

Huo Yuhao calmly asked, "Wang Dong, is something wrong?"

During his meditation, he had already noticed Wang Dong's gaze, but he had not stopped cultivating to remind her.

After all, everyone had to pay for their own choices.

He was not Wang Dong's father. He could not constantly keep watch over her.

Wang Dong wore a miserable expression as she asked uncertainly, "Yuhao, do you think it's still too late for me to transfer classes?"

After enduring Zhou Yi's torment that morning, she had finally realized Huo Yuhao's foresight. She was now filled with regret.

It was only the first lesson of the school year. In less than half a day, that old hag had expelled nearly ten students outright. It was simply lawless.

Was there no justice? No reason?

Why was Shrek Academy like this?

Her illusions had been shattered.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "You're beyond saving."

"With your Soul Power Level, you're already on Zhou Yi's little list. She won't let you leave so easily."

At the mention of this, Wang Dong became confident instead.

"How did you know my Soul Power Level is the highest in Freshman Class One? Impressive, right?"

Huo Yuhao replied helplessly, "Who asked you? Still, the way you ran around Shrek Square in such a sorry state this morning was indeed very impressive."

"You saw it?"

Wang Dong's expression froze in surprise.

Huo Yuhao spread his hands.

"The entire Class Nine saw it. Still, pushing your body to its limits like that really does help promote soul power growth. Besides, being under Zhou Yi's thumb might temper your personality a little. It's not entirely bad for you."

Wang Dong glared at him. "What's wrong with my personality?"

Huo Yuhao got up and left. "Nothing. Come on, it's getting late. If you don't leave now, you'll be late."

Wang Dong was startled by this and hurriedly rushed after him.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? That old hag said this morning that anyone late in the afternoon would be expelled immediately."

Huo Yuhao's expression turned strange as he comforted her.

"It'll definitely be different for you. As long as you don't do something utterly suicidal, Zhou Yi won't bear to expel you. She'll still need you to fight in the New Student Assessment three months from now."

In the Original Work, hadn't Huo Yuhao and the others been late repeatedly without getting expelled? Wasn't it because they had already demonstrated tremendous value at the time?

If Wang Dong were truly expelled, that would be the strange thing.

Who would dare touch God King Tang's daughter?

Moreover, Wang Dong's Clear Sky Sect background alone was enough to ensure she had nothing to worry about.

The afternoon's practical combat training arrived as scheduled.

Not a single student from Freshman Class Nine was late.

Everyone had heard, more or less, about Freshman Class One's miserable situation. Zhou Yi's habit of expelling students at the slightest disagreement had clearly served as a harsh warning to the freshmen who had just entered Shrek Academy.

Although Mu Jin seemed rather easygoing, everyone feared that their own Class Teacher might suddenly go mad like Zhou Yi. If that happened, where could they even go to argue their case?

It was better to obey the rules obediently.

Mu Jin stood between the stands with a roster in hand. To her right stood two teachers, one man and one woman.

The female teacher was about the same age as Mu Jin. A faint aura of life emanated from her body. She was naturally Teacher Zhang, who had treated Wu Feng and the others that morning.

As for the other male teacher, he was considerably older than Mu Jin, appearing to be around forty. His appearance was utterly ordinary, and he had no intimidating aura. He wore a smiling expression and looked exceptionally amiable.

This male teacher was Wang Yan, a representative figure of Shrek Academy's Theory School and Moderate Faction. His theoretical foundation was solid, and his teaching ability was exceptional. In the Outer Court, he was a top-ranking Senior Teacher.

At Shrek Academy, advancing in teaching rank was even more difficult and clearly stratified than advancement for students. Even Zhou Yi and Mu Jin were merely Intermediate Teachers.

For Wang Yan to become a Senior Teacher meant he was qualified to teach Inner Court Students. Although his cultivation was only that of a five-ring Soul King, his research into martial soul theory ran extremely deep. Even throughout all of Shrek Academy, he was among the very best.

At noon, because of Huo Yuhao's martial soul, Mu Jin had gone to seek Wang Yan's advice.

Yet she had never expected that simply asking for advice would bring Wang Yan himself over.

Wang Yan asked excitedly, "Spirit Eye!? Is that an eye-type martial soul?"

Mu Jin answered somewhat uncertainly, "I think so?"

In truth, she was not very clear on it. That morning, Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Possession had flashed by in an instant, and all she had noticed was the most conspicuous Thousand-Year Second Ring.

Originally, she had intended to ask Huo Yuhao about his martial soul after school. However, he was too popular with the girls, and she also needed to ask Wang Yan about some matters, so she had temporarily set it aside.

Wang Yan took a deep breath and asked tensely, "Is Huo Yuhao a member of the Body Sect?"

Mu Jin shook her head. "Probably not. The City Lord Recommendation Letter from the Heaven Dou Empire stated that he was an orphan with a clean background."

Thus, Wang Yan proposed visiting Freshman Class Nine that afternoon to find Huo Yuhao, and Mu Jin naturally agreed gladly.

Mu Jin knew that Wang Yan's obsession with Body Martial Souls was famous throughout Shrek Academy, and she was happy to do him a favor.

Just as Huo Yuhao arrived at the Soul Fighting Zone stands, Mu Jin brought Wang Yan over to stop him.

"Huo Yuhao, this is Wang Yan, a Senior Teacher from the Outer Court. He wants to ask you a few questions about your Martial Soul. Is that alright?"

"Greetings, Teachers. Of course."

Huo Yuhao responded politely and nodded.

He had no intention of hiding anything about his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.

He intended to attach Spirit Rings to the Spirit Eyes first.

The Spirit Ring slots of the Ice Soul Body were extremely precious. With the Mimicry mechanism, Huo Yuhao believed that its future might not be limited to Ultimate Ice.

As an exceptionally rare Body Martial Soul—moreover, eyes that were suspected to be a Spiritual Martial Soul—it was perfectly normal for it to attract Shrek's theoretical Grandmaster.

Wang Yan's own talent was not bad, and his knowledge of Martial Soul theory was exceptionally profound. He could be considered beyond reproach, and he was one of Huo Yuhao's guides in the early stages.

Among Shrek Academy's teachers, he was already one of the best—a rare decent figure among them.

His only black mark in the original work was cheating during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.

To that, Huo Yuhao could only say that this was what Shrek's ten-thousand-year honor was like.

As a Soul King leading the team, it was only normal that Wang Yan could not bear the pressure of failure.

When those above were crooked, those below naturally followed. As Xuan Zi's grand-disciple, Wang Yan had already managed to remain untainted by the mud.

Most importantly, there was the task displayed above Wang Yan's head on the system interface.

Wang Yan

Relationship: Acquainted

Achievement Task: Spirit Eyes? Let Me See

Perhaps the means for him to obtain a Wisdom Path Gu Worm would fall upon Wang Yan?

Clearly, Huo Yuhao's previous experiences had told him something.

The rewards for Achievement Tasks were related to the traits of the Soul Masters they came from.

As Wang Yan, the theoretical Grandmaster comparable to "the first-generation Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang" in the second novel, could be said to be a true master of theory.

The reward from him might very well be connected to the Wisdom Path.

For Huo Yuhao, Wisdom Path Gu Worms were among the best support Gu Worms. He could not afford to miss this.
