Chapter 23

As one of the more prominent academies in Eastsea City, Eastsea Academy had a fairly complete range of facilities and resources, fully capable of meeting the needs of its teachers and students in study, research, and cultivation.

As the owner of The Wisdom Martial Soul, Herta naturally could not pass up a treasure trove like the library. After all, no knowledge was useless.

But what dissatisfied Herta was that Eastsea Academy's library was actually tiered?

Just like the academy itself, it was divided into the Intermediate Division and the Advanced Division. Since the Intermediate Division provided compulsory education, the library's available material was extremely limited, only slightly more extensive than the textbooks.

As for the Advanced Division, Herta could roughly guess what it was like.

After all, the academy's introduction stated that the Intermediate Division taught basic knowledge, while the Advanced Division taught the application of knowledge. In other words, the Advanced Division was Eastsea Academy's true core.

But as far as Herta was concerned, she had long since lost interest in the Advanced Division.

Applying knowledge?

Even without Nous's abilities, Herta could work wonders with that knowledge through talent alone. If she used Nous's abilities, her progress would be even more outrageous!

"Forget it. Na'er's plan has only just begun too, so there's no need for me to rush into Shrek Academy. I'll try developing my own soul skills first!"

Herta's strength was simply too far beyond the norm. While the class's average Soul Power had not even reached rank fifteen, she had already reached rank twenty-seven!

No matter who she sparred with, it would be a complete beating!

Even in practical combat classes, the teachers did not dare let her train against other students, afraid that Herta might beat them badly enough to cause an accident.

Because of this, the teachers had reported to the principal countless times that there was a "great god" in their class. Whether it was knowledge, Soul Power, or the application of abilities, she far surpassed students of the same generation. As teachers, they had long lost the ability to instruct this student and could only let her study on her own...

If she remained in the freshman class, it would only hold back her talent!

Eastsea Academy's upper management was both thrilled and troubled by this.

They were thrilled that their academy had produced such a once-in-a-generation genius, someone they ought to cherish like a parent. Yet they were troubled because this student's talent was so high that she seemed to need no instruction at all.

This gave the dean and principal a headache. This outstanding student would definitely become the center of countless people's attention after graduation, but when others asked how Eastsea Academy's teachers had taught her, how would she answer?

"How did the teachers teach me? You should ask the students who actually received their guidance! I'm a genius, after all. I basically taught myself. I understood that simple knowledge at a glance, and the teachers simply couldn't teach me anything. Only ordinary students need teachers' guidance, right?"

If Herta said that, would it not make Eastsea Academy look utterly useless? They could not even guide a nine-year-old child, so what gave them the right to call themselves the best academy here? It would not only affect student recruitment; it might even shake the Sun Moon Federation's funding for Eastsea Academy!

If something like that really happened, Eastsea Academy would be finished!

To prevent such a terrifying event from befalling the academy, its upper management racked their brains over how to handle Herta, this exceptional student. Thus, before the academy's official decision was issued, Herta had the right to study on her own in any teacher's class. Some students had objected to this preferential treatment, but Herta's words immediately left them speechless.

"What? You think this is unfair and want the same treatment as me?"

"Of course you can!"

"You only need to reach above rank twenty-five at the age of nine, just like me, and memorize every piece of knowledge in the Intermediate Division backward and forward. Wouldn't that treatment be yours for the taking?"

"If you can't do that, just beat me up!"

From then on, no one had any more objections to Herta's behavior. After all, she was the youngest in the class, yet her Soul Power was the highest.

Although their class was an elite class that gathered many geniuses from small cities, compared to a world-shaking genius like Herta, they were like fireflies before the bright moon.

As for that last line about beating her up... who could beat Herta? Were they sure they would not just be stepping onto the stage to become Herta's punching bag?

Thus, during this period, Herta became the Intermediate Division's "School Bully." Though from the school's perspective, perhaps she was more like its "School Dad"?

In any case, over the next week, free from unnecessary distractions, Herta could focus on researching her soul skills. After all, the innate talent brought by the Martial Soul "Nous" alone gave her the ability to calculate, and that was merely the tip of the iceberg.

And after gaining Bai Ze as her Soul Spirit, Herta directly obtained two thousand-year soul rings, becoming increasingly adept on the path of The Wisdom.

First soul skill, Synaptic Resonance. It linked all enemy units within range. When any enemy unit took damage, the damage dealt increased, and all linked targets also took damage. There was no limit to the number of enemy units or the number of times damage could be dealt. Unless actively canceled, the soul skill's effect could continue indefinitely as long as she had Soul Power.

Second soul skill, Brain in a Vat. It applied the "Brain in a Vat" status to any unit. Each time a soul skill was used, "Brain in a Vat" received one charge. Upon reaching two charges, she could cast the soul skill she had just used one additional time without consuming Soul Power.

It was somewhat unexpected, yet also seemed perfectly reasonable.

After Nous manifested in the form of a Martial Soul, were its soul skills actually the Path Resonance and Blessings from the Herta Simulated Universe?

For the world of Douluo Continent, these two soul skills were indeed powerful. Though they leaned toward support, the important thing about the Martial Soul "Nous" was not its soul skills, but the innate talent it possessed as an Aeon!

Take the calculations Herta had used, for example. They were practically equivalent to briefly foreseeing the future. Was that not far more powerful than soul skills?

Therefore, Herta's goal was to develop her Martial Soul as much as possible while becoming proficient in using her soul skills! Wisdom had no limits! By then, it would not be strange no matter how many Self-Created Soul Skills Herta possessed!

As time passed, Herta truly came up with many things. But just as she was preparing to take things a step further, a notice from Eastsea Academy's upper management arrived.

Of course, it had been sent for Herta alone to read. In simple terms, it said the following:

Student Herta of Class One had completed the Intermediate Division's curriculum in a short period of time. Ordinary academy teachers were simply unable to guide her. Given these special circumstances, Eastsea Academy had specially established a unique class for Herta, where a senior teacher would provide one-on-one instruction.

One-on-one?

Upon reading this notice, Herta immediately understood.

A senior teacher at Eastsea Academy.

Someone capable of providing one-on-one instruction.

Who could it be? It really was so hard to guess!

Right, Wu Zhangkong?
