Professional Soul Masters Make Professional Judgments

"Little Yuhao, you were so cool just now. You beat Xu Sanshi until he looked just like a turtle."

Xiao Ya's eyes sparkled as she chattered away incessantly along the way.

She had long since despised Xu Sanshi's nauseating behavior, and his persistent pestering of Jiang Nannan in particular filled her with extreme disgust.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Sanshi was Bei Bei's brother, she wouldn't have had any interaction with such a person at all.

Even after Xu Sanshi fainted, it was Bei Bei who had to take him for treatment alone; as for Xiao Ya, she couldn't be bothered to care whether that guy lived or died.

Xiao Ya's lively eyes darted around before she leaned in toward Jiang Nannan, her tone teasing:

"Nannan, you'd better hurry up. Otherwise, with Little Yuhao being so outstanding, watch out that some senior sister doesn't 'snatch' him away one of these days."

She made an exaggerated grimace as she spoke.

Just a moment ago, if she and Jiang Nannan hadn't pulled Huo Yuhao away from a group of enthusiastic senior sisters, he likely would have been "devoured whole" by those overly passionate girls.

"So, Nannan, don't you want to join my Tang Sect? Let me tell you, my Tang Sect possesses a unique skill called the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, which is perfect for you."

Xiao Ya recommended it to Jiang Nannan with a serious face, clearly not having given up on the idea of reviving the Tang Sect.

She even calculated in her heart that if she could pull Jiang Nannan into the Tang Sect first, perhaps she could logically bring Huo Yuhao in later as well, giving the revival of the Tang Sect a glimmer of hope.

"Alright, Sister Xiao Ya. Don't put Sister Nannan on the spot. Joining a sect is a very serious matter; it's better not to be so hasty."

Huo Yuhao helplessly interrupted Xiao Ya's daydreaming; he clearly hadn't expected her to be so persistent about recruiting people into the Tang Sect.

Seeing Huo Yuhao speak up, Xiao Ya stuck her tongue out at him playfully, intending to act silly and muddle through.

Jiang Nannan watched the two of them, a trace of doubt rising in her heart.

Compared to the thick-skinned Xiao Ya, the observant Jiang Nannan could sense that Huo Yuhao seemed to have reservations about the Tang Sect, yet he showed no dissatisfaction or disgust toward Xiao Ya, which left her quite puzzled.

Jiang Nannan smiled gently without saying a word, but she had already decided to find an appropriate time to talk to Huo Yuhao.

After all, she didn't want Huo Yuhao and Xiao Ya to develop a rift over the Tang Sect, or even end up breaking ties one day in the future.

Just then, a middle-aged male teacher blocked their path.

The teacher looked to be about forty years old, with a very ordinary appearance and no overbearing aura; he wore a smiling expression and looked quite amiable.

"Student Huo Yuhao, would you be interested in having a private chat with me?"

Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile, his tone gentle.

He had heard about the freshman challenge involving the twin stars of the outer courtyard and had been curious enough to go to the Soul Fighting Zone to watch the battle.

What surprised Wang Yan, however, was that with his keen eye as a senior teacher of the academy, he couldn't even discern what Huo Yuhao's martial soul actually was.

This made him even more curious; what kind of martial soul could be so powerful? He couldn't resist wanting to have a talk with Huo Yuhao.

As for Wang Yan, a premier senior teacher of the outer courtyard, Jiang Nannan and Xiao Ya naturally recognized him.

In Shrek Academy, the promotion of a teacher's rank was even more difficult and distinct than that of the students.

As a senior teacher, Wang Yan was qualified to teach students in the inner courtyard.

Since such a senior teacher was paying attention to Huo Yuhao, neither Jiang Nannan nor Xiao Ya wanted to continue interrupting their upcoming discussion.

Xiao Ya took Jiang Nannan's arm and said, "Then, Teacher Wang, you and Little Yuhao take your time talking. We won't disturb you."

After saying this, she winked at Huo Yuhao and pulled Jiang Nannan away at a brisk pace.

Once the figures of Jiang Nannan and Xiao Ya had disappeared, Wang Yan went straight to the point:

"Student Huo Yuhao, I wonder if you could tell me what your martial soul and soul skills are? Of course, I will not disclose your information to any irrelevant personnel."

In the world of soul masters, asking about someone else's martial soul and soul skills at will was a major taboo, so Wang Yan naturally had to give Huo Yuhao a guarantee that he wouldn't leak the secrets.

"Teacher Wang, my martial soul is the Spirit Eye, which belongs to the spiritual attribute. As for the effects of my soul skills, please allow me to keep them confidential."

Huo Yuhao replied calmly.

"Spirit Eye? Your martial soul is an eye?"

Wang Yan's reaction was far greater than Huo Yuhao's indifference; he was so excited he nearly jumped, staring intently at Huo Yuhao with an eager expression.

But then, he remembered that both of Huo Yuhao's soul rings were of the thousand-year level, and he asked with a tense expression:

"Student Huo Yuhao, are you a member of the Body Sect?"

If Huo Yuhao were from the Body Sect, he naturally wouldn't easily reveal the secrets of his body martial soul, and the academy wouldn't invest too many resources in him.

"Teacher Wang, I am not a member of the Body Sect. If you have nothing else, I will take my leave."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, a look of wild joy appeared in Wang Yan's eyes, and he said repeatedly:

"Good, that is truly great. Student Huo Yuhao, I will report your situation to the academy's higher-ups; you don't mind, do you?"

For Wang Yan, he was truly too excited; Huo Yuhao was not from the Body Sect, yet he possessed such astonishing talent.

Perhaps the academy could truly uncover the mysteries of the body martial soul through Huo Yuhao this time.

He even felt that the admissions office probably hadn't realized the terrifying potential of Huo Yuhao. No, he had to report this matter to Xuan Zi immediately.

Huo Yuhao replied indifferently:

"That is fine, Teacher Wang."

The Martial Soul he had registered upon enrollment was Spirit Eye, so naturally, he would not stop Wang Yan from reporting it to the academy's higher-ups.

Moreover, compared to his previous life where the first soul ring of his Spirit Eye was only "ten years," he was now somewhat curious about how the academy would react to him.

After receiving Huo Yuhao's consent, Wang Yan took a deep breath, struggling to calm his excited emotions:

"Good, good. Student Huo Yuhao, then I won't disturb you any further; I will come to find you again later."

Having said that, he turned around and hurried away.

Meanwhile, the office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department remained brightly lit.

Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Soul Department, was currently sitting in his office chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk.

At the same time, he was flipping through the list of freshmen requiring special attention, meticulously compiled by his subordinates.

Sitting on the animal-hide sofa in front of the desk was Du Weilun, the Director of the Martial Soul Department.

As the person who had personally delivered this file, he had naturally already reviewed its contents.

Thus, he spoke after careful consideration:

"Dean, there is a freshman named Huo Yuhao this time whose first and second soul rings are both of the thousand-year level. Do you think we should reach out to him early?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's face immediately showed interest as he flipped the registration form to the corresponding page.

Huo Yuhao.

Martial Soul: Spirit Eye, Mental Attribute.

Soul Power Level: 25.

Soul Ring Colors: Purple, Purple.

"Both the first and second soul rings are thousand-year level; he is indeed a rare genius."

Yan Shaozhe nodded, his tone carrying a hint of admiration, but then he changed the subject.

"However, his Martial Soul is of the mental attribute, and finding suitable soul rings for it is extremely difficult."

The number of mental-attribute soul beasts is extremely scarce, which means that the energy and resources required to cultivate a suitable mental-attribute soul master are naturally far greater than those for other attributes.

As for this freshman having thousand-year soul rings for both his first and second, while truly stunning, it was not entirely impossible.

Wasn't the second soul ring of that student named Wang Dong, whom he had just reviewed, also a thousand-year one?

Furthermore, he was not sure if this freshman named Huo Yuhao had used some secret technique to overdraw his potential in order to obtain such an astonishing soul ring configuration.

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe shifted his gaze from Huo Yuhao's registration form to Du Weilun and continued:

"Compared to that Huo Yuhao, I am still more optimistic about Dai Huabin, who is already a three-ring Soul Elder at under twelve years of age.

Such an achievement has already surpassed the ancestors of his Dai Family, and entering at the same time as him is also a little girl from the Zhu Family."

As the Director of the Martial Soul Department, Du Weilun could naturally hear the implication in Yan Shaozhe's words.

Clearly, there was likely a Martial Soul Fusion Skill between that Dai Family boy and the Zhu Family girl.

"However, Dean..." He had just wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yan Shaozhe raising his hand.

"Alright, Weilun. As a professional soul master, I naturally dare to make professional judgments."
