The Truth of Spirit Soul Academy

The start of the school term arrived much faster than Huo Yuhao had imagined. Or, to put it another way, in this environment, everyone felt that time seemed to accelerate; it felt as if one simply blinked, and the day was already over.

Huo Yuhao could see students falling asleep directly in class every day, but the second they were discovered, these students would be tossed to the back of the room by the teacher to stand and listen to the lecture.

By the way, on the Douluo Continent, "toss" is a very literal verb.

Of course, in Zhou Yi's class, there would absolutely never be any students sleeping.

As for the reason... other teachers would toss students to the back of the classroom. But she would open the window and toss you straight outside; the classroom was on the first floor, after all, so nothing bad would happen.

Just like that, two weeks passed. At least in Huo Yuhao's class, one could no longer see any students sleeping during lessons.

"Come now, everyone prick up your ears and listen."

Zhou Yi's voice drew everyone's attention, and she held a booklet in her hand at that moment:

"For the past two weeks, we have basically been studying basic theoretical content in the classroom. I assume some of you have realized that during these two weeks, we haven't taught everyone any content regarding cultivation."

Zhou Yi walked down from the podium while flipping open the booklet in her hand:

"Starting today, we will officially begin the Martial Soul cultivation course to teach everyone how to conduct proper Soul Power cultivation."

"Does anyone have any questions?"

Zhou Yi scanned the room, and seeing that no one raised a hand, she nodded:

"Very good. Since no one has any objections, pack up and prepare to head to the Mimicry Cultivation Ground."

"Oh right, I almost forgot."

Zhou Yi walked over to Huo Yuhao and Dong'er:

"You two don't need to go; wait for me to return in the classroom. If you have questions, ask me when I get back, and I will explain them to you."

Zhou Yi's tone, which brooked no refusal, left the two of them feeling a bit confused, but they still obediently sat in their seats.

Although the other students were curious, compared to the excitement of finally being able to start cultivation, this curiosity didn't amount to much.

Soon, only Huo Yuhao and Dong'er remained in the classroom. To kill time, they simply began looking at the textbooks they weren't supposed to need until the next semester.

As for this semester's textbooks... aside from history, they had already finished learning everything else.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Yi returned and saw the two of them with their heads buried in books, so she tapped on the lectern:

"Alright, put the books away first and come directly to the front row. I have something to discuss with you."

The two quickly complied. After they sat down, Zhou Yi placed two physical examination reports on the table in front of them.

"Teacher Zhou, this physical examination report is..."

Dong'er asked first, the dense list of test items making her feel a bit dizzy.

"It's to test your current Soul Power Level and physical fitness, so it's easier to participate in activities."

Zhou Yi explained while walking down from the podium to stand before them.

"How have you been feeling over these past two weeks?" Zhou Yi suddenly threw out a question that seemed completely unrelated. Although he was a bit confused, Huo Yuhao still gave an answer quickly:

"For some classmates, it's very tiring. And..."

Huo Yuhao paused, then continued:

"I always feel that this place doesn't look like a Soul Master Academy. Although everything taught in class is related to Soul Masters, there is no practical training or actual combat."

Dong'er nodded from the side and added:

"It feels very different from the adults at home. It's as if... the people here don't need to cultivate at all."

Listening to their answers, Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction:

"That's right, the Spirit Soul Academy is indeed not like a normal Soul Master Academy. Judging from your answers, regardless of the channel, you must have some understanding of Soul Master academies—or more accurately, the Soul Master world."

"For a Soul Master, no matter how much theoretical knowledge you come into contact with, it must eventually come down to actual combat. After all, strength is the foundation for standing firm in the Soul Master world."

"And what I want to tell you is that in this classroom, aside from the two of you, there will not be a third person capable of stepping into the Soul Master world."

Zhou Yi pointed at the two of them in turn:

"I assume you must have noticed that aside from each other, you aren't familiar with the students in this classroom. This isn't because you are too immersed in your studies to care about the outside world."

"During these two weeks, I have spoken individually with every student other than you two, and the content of those conversations was very simple: do not disturb you in any form."

"As for the reason... in your impression, has this class ever held activities like self-introductions?"

Huo Yuhao and Dong'er looked at each other and then both shook their heads.

"According to the student records you registered, Huo Yuhao, Dong'er, you are both Innate Full Soul Power. But among them, the highest Innate Soul Power does not exceed this number."

Zhou Yi held up three fingers.

"Three levels?!" Dong'er exclaimed, and even Huo Yuhao was stunned. This was truly... unexpected.

"Heh, you didn't expect it, did you? For a Soul Master academy established by the most powerful force on the entire continent, the Martial Soul Hall, the official students within it actually have less than three levels of Innate Soul Power."

"With less than three levels of Innate Soul Power, even with diligent practice, one can only become meaningless dregs in the Soul Master world. It is better to let the Martial Soul Hall give them a chance to have other paths to walk besides being a Soul Master."

"But, even if they only have three levels of Soul Power..."

Just then, Huo Yuhao wanted to retort, but was directly interrupted by Zhou Yi:

"I know what you want to say. Most children your age have these kinds of unrealistic thoughts, and some may have even seen living examples."

"But I want to ask, how many such examples have you actually seen? One, or two? Compared to the entire Douluo Continent, can these one or two examples serve as evidence for you to refute the Martial Soul Hall? Obviously, they cannot."

Zhou Yi's words pierced into Huo Yuhao's heart like nails, because he knew from the bottom of his heart that she was absolutely right.

If he had come to the Spirit Soul Academy in his previous life with only level one soul power, he would undoubtedly have become just like the other students. Even if the Spirit Eye was truly gifted, so what? If not for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he would have been crushed the moment he took his first step into the soul master world!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a lingering fear.

Dong'er remained silent by his side, seemingly lost in thought, or perhaps she simply couldn't grasp the meaning behind Zhou Yi's words.

"Whenever students like you come here, we always do this. If you are geniuses capable of stepping into the soul master world, then you must possess the spirit to accept this cruel answer."

"I've digressed a bit; let's get back to business."

Zhou Yi pushed the medical examination reports toward the two of them once more.

"After completing this assessment, you will go directly to participate in a live combat exam."

"The exam to join the Unlimited Division."
