Perhaps because they had returned to Shrek Academy several days ahead of schedule, there were not many students in the outer courtyard.

Guided by Bei Bei and his companion, Huo Yuhao gradually gained a basic understanding of the layout of the outer courtyard.

"Senior Brother, aren't we going to report in?"

As they passed a sign marking the freshman registration area, Huo Yuhao asked, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"No, there's no rush to report."

Bei Bei seemed to have planned this all along, shaking his head gently.

"We returned to the academy earlier than expected, and there are still several days left before the registration deadline. We have plenty of time."

"Then where are we going?"

Huo Yuhao was confused. Although he didn't think Bei Bei and Tang Ya would do anything harmful to him, he was still perplexed.

"To find a teacher to give you a full physical examination, of course, silly."

Tang Ya, who was beside them, skipped forward and tapped Huo Yuhao on the head.

Reminded by her, Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled that the two of them were unaware of the Ghost Killing Art and were still worrying about his condition; they had previously mentioned finding a professional to consult.

"..."

Huo Yuhao was momentarily speechless.

He would never reveal anything about the Ghost Killing Art to them, nor to anyone else for that matter.

This was both a form of self-protection and a way to protect others.

Huo Yuhao could not guarantee that they wouldn't be invaded by ghosts while he was unconscious.

After all, he was likely the only one on the entire continent blessed by the will of heaven with knowledge regarding the ghosts.

If it were anyone else, they would have likely become a part of the ghosts without even realizing it.

However, this did not mean he truly cared about others.

It was simply that he could not allow the Ghost Demon Venerable to obtain anything that might strengthen himself.

That would be very disadvantageous for him.

Since he could not reveal the truth, he had no choice but to play along and continue acting ignorant.

A few minutes later, the teacher's office area of the Shrek outer courtyard.

Knock, knock, knock.

As Bei Bei gently knocked on the office door, a steady voice came from within.

"Come in."

Hearing this, Bei Bei patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and nodded, signaling him not to be nervous.

Tang Ya simply turned the doorknob and walked into the office cheerfully, passing the two men.

Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao followed her inside.

"Good morning, Teacher Wang."

Tang Ya approached the desk with a playful grin, and it was only then that Huo Yuhao clearly saw the scholarly-looking teacher sitting behind it.

Wang Yan.

An outer courtyard teacher who specialized in theoretical knowledge.

When it came to what had happened to Huo Yuhao, he was the first person Bei Bei and Tang Ya had thought of.

Earlier, Bei Bei had introduced him to Huo Yuhao as the so-called "Master of Theory" within the Shrek outer courtyard.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think of an old acquaintance from ten thousand years ago, finding it instantly amusing.

What? Are you "theoretically invincible" too?

However, compared to that "Grandmaster" from ten thousand years ago, Wang Yan was far too humble.

He was truly obsessed with the theoretical knowledge of soul masters, to the point where his reputation had spread within a very small circle.

In Huo Yuhao's opinion, he should take a portion of Shrek Academy's research findings, summarize them into ten major theories, and then leave Shrek to proclaim them as his own research—it would surely resound throughout the entire continent!

He wouldn't even need to fear skeptics; after all, in academia, how can one call it stealing?

But jokes aside, one shouldn't laugh at Gangzi too much.

In Huo Yuhao's view, Wang Yan's contributions were truly not as great as Gangzi's.

After all, Gangzi had cultivated a god!

Even if Wang Yan's strength allowed him to hang ten Gangzis up and whip them like spinning tops, it wouldn't change that established fact.

No matter how strong he was, at most, he would only be a three-to-seven split with Gangzi.

Three seconds to whip Gangzi seven times.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts raced for only an instant before Wang Yan, hearing the noise, looked up and clearly saw the three who had entered.

As a teacher at the academy, he recognized Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

After all, the two of them could be considered outstanding students.

However, seeing that Huo Yuhao seemed somewhat unfamiliar, he spoke up to ask.

"Ah, it's Bei Bei and Tang Ya. Is something the matter?"

"And this student is..."

"Teacher Wang, this is my little junior brother, a new disciple of the Tang Sect, and also a new student about to enter our Outer Court."

Bei Bei stepped forward and began to introduce him naturally, and Wang Yan nodded.

Knowing this teacher's temperament, Bei Bei went straight to the point and recounted the previous events.

"The situation is like this, we were previously..."

As Bei Bei spoke, Wang Yan frowned, but when he heard about the martial soul mutation, the look he cast toward Huo Yuhao suddenly brimmed with intense interest.

He then beckoned to Huo Yuhao.

"Student Huo Yuhao, is it? Come here."

Huo Yuhao stepped forward honestly and extended his wrist. Wang Yan placed his hand on Huo Yuhao's wrist and began a detailed examination of his body.

Huo Yuhao was indifferent to this.

After all, no matter how strong Wang Yan's theories were, he did not believe the other party could fathom the specific circumstances of the Ghost Killing Art.

At most, he would just use a mutation to explain it all.

As expected, it was just as Huo Yuhao had anticipated.

After a long while, once Wang Yan slowly withdrew his soul power, he could only let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry, Bei Bei, I cannot deduce what caused this mutation either."

"Even you can't tell, Teacher Wang?"

Bei Bei and Tang Ya both frowned, looking at Huo Yuhao with some concern.

Wang Yan nodded, making no attempt to hide it.

"I have some understanding of your Tang Sect's unique skills, and there have been incidents in history where martial soul fusion caused mutations, but having two types of mutations occur in one person simultaneously is unprecedented."

"The mutation of the Purple Demon Eye is clearly beneficial to Huo Yuhao, but I cannot easily make a judgment on this mutation in his soul power."

"I will look into historical records later to see if there are any similar accounts."

Wang Yan paused, then turned his head to look at Huo Yuhao.

"Judging only by the current situation, since it hasn't shown any signs of danger, continue your cultivation."

"But you must remain vigilant at all times and watch for any further mutations. If any occur, you can come to me at any time or seek help from the academy. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Teacher Wang."

Huo Yuhao nodded to indicate he understood.

Having reached the preliminary conclusion that it would not cause Huo Yuhao any harm, Bei Bei and Tang Ya bowed to Wang Yan before rising to take their leave.

"Then we will take Yuhao to handle his enrollment procedures now. Sorry to have bothered you, Teacher Wang."

The three of them then left the office.

Wang Yan nodded, but at the same time, he etched the name Huo Yuhao into his mind, deciding to observe this child more when he had the time.

Perhaps, report this to the director and the principal?

This thought flashed through Wang Yan's mind, only to vanish just as quickly.

It was still too early; he would observe him for a while longer first.
