The Class Monitor Position

In just a short while, the number of votes supporting Chu Feng had surpassed eighty, giving him an approval rating of over ninety percent.

As for the original class monitor, Wu Feng, she had won the position of vice monitor by an overwhelming margin.

Since this was a Martial Soul class, there were no other flashy rules. There were pretty much only the positions of class monitor and vice monitor.

The positions didn't involve much work. They simply served as examples for the class and were generally held by the strongest Power Attack System or Control System students. Their importance only became clear when students from different classes had conflicts.

"Chu Feng, Wu Feng, from now on, you two will be the class monitor and vice monitor of Class Nine. You could also be called our class's representatives and public faces. Make sure you train hard and live up to this honor."

Mu Jin smiled at Chu Feng and Wu Feng.

"Don't worry, teacher. I'll do my best to set an example for the class and protect its honor!" Wu Feng clenched her little fists, her face earnest. She clearly regarded this as a serious responsibility.

"+1"

Chu Feng said casually. After all, he only wanted the class monitor position so he could show off more easily in the future. He didn't have many other ideas.

Mu Jin: ...

"Ahem. That concludes the class committee election. Now, let's begin today's lesson..."

"Although the Spirit Master Department places great importance on strength, I still need to teach you some basic knowledge to help you cultivate better..."

Soon, Mu Jin began the lesson.

Zhou Yi had wanted to establish her authority as homeroom teacher during the very first class, which was why she had started by training her students.

Most teachers in other classes began by explaining all kinds of basic knowledge about cultivation. Only with a solid foundation could students bring out their full strength in battle later on.

Besides, cultivation mainly depended on self-discipline. Teachers could only play a supporting role. Everyone here was a genius, and now that they had joined Shrek, hardly any of them would slack off. A little encouragement was enough; there was no need to spend too much effort in that area.

After all, if someone truly wanted to give up, no teacher could stop them. Each student chose their own path in life. Those who failed to work hard in their youth would regret it in old age. The road ahead was theirs to choose.

After listening for a while, Chu Feng began to feel drowsy. It all seemed rather boring.

He already knew what he needed to know, and what he didn't know had nothing to do with him. He was invincible anyway; the others could do as they pleased.

With nothing else to do, he began to review what he had gained that day.

His greatest reward was the "Super-God Level Soul Tool Inheritance" he had obtained from Zhou Yi.

The highest level of Soul Tool in Douluo Continent was only Level Nine, so "Super-God Level" was clearly beyond the norm. Only the system could get its hands on something like this. But the knowledge contained within was so vast that Chu Feng put it away after taking a quick look. He planned to use it after he got back; absorbing it would take quite a bit of time and effort.

The second reward was the skill "Fiery Golden Eyes," which he had obtained from Mu Jin. The skill had been added directly to his innate abilities. "Lucky" and "Cute Act" were passive skills, while Fiery Golden Eyes was an innate ability he could activate.

Chu Feng studied it a little and discovered that the skill had three main abilities.

The first enhanced his eyesight. It was a support ability, and rather useless.

The second saw through illusions. It could basically ignore all illusions and Soul Skills capable of causing them. That was useless too.

With his current mental strength, he was almost never affected by illusions. Besides, Spirit Masters who specialized in the mind were rare, and those who could create illusions were even rarer. He might never encounter one in his entire life. This ability to see through illusions wasn't much use either. In two words—garbage.

The third ability, however, was pretty good: Flame Ray. It converted Soul Power into a fire-attribute ray and fired it through his eyes. It was somewhat like the "laser cannon" from his previous life, and its power was no joke.

On top of that, some of his long-range Soul Skills in the future could also be fired through his eyes.

It wouldn't raise his combat ceiling by much. It just gave him a brand-new way to show off, which was pretty nice.

And since this was a fire-attribute skill, Chu Feng planned to refine the "Ultimate Fire Core" he had obtained after going back. If he could fuse it into his eyes, they might be able to separate from his body and become a brand-new Body Martial Soul possessing Ultimate Fire!

That was the theory, anyway. He would have to see how it went after he got back.

At that moment, Mu Jin was still lecturing at length. She had noticed Chu Feng staring off into space, but didn't bother with him. Much of this was basic knowledge and only served as a supplement, so it didn't really matter whether he knew it or not.

The other students in the class, however, were listening intently, thoroughly engrossed. It was their first class, after all, so they naturally wanted to make a good impression on their teacher.

"Next, I'm going to talk about Soul Tools..."

"I'm sure you all know that Soul Tools have developed rapidly over the past several thousand years. Even a food-type Tool Soul Master holding a sufficiently powerful Soul Tool can unleash attacks no weaker than those of a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. They might even be stronger."

"Although we're part of the Spirit Master Department, Soul Tools are still very important. If you're able to, I hope you'll equip yourselves with some Soul Tools, just in case."

Chu Feng was rather surprised to hear Mu Jin say this.

In his view, most teachers in the Spirit Master Department were quite opposed to Soul Tools. Some more extreme teachers even deliberately belittled their usefulness. Although this could encourage students to train their Soul Power harder and spend less time on Soul Tools, it also deepened their aversion to them, which was a very bad thing.

But Mu Jin actually encouraged students to use Soul Tools. She really was a good teacher. It was a shame her strength was too low—or perhaps she'd simply had bad luck—or she wouldn't still be an ordinary teacher.

"Teacher, I disagree!"

Just then, Wu Feng suddenly raised her hand.

"Oh? Wu Feng, what's your question?"

Mu Jin looked surprised.

Wu Feng stood up and spoke earnestly:

"Teacher, I think Soul Tools are ultimately just external objects. Our Martial Souls are the foundation of our strength. If we use Soul Tools, it's easy to become dependent on them, which has a huge impact on our cultivation."

"Besides, as far as I know, high-level Soul Tools are extremely rare and expensive. If an ordinary Soul Master buys one, it will definitely affect their cultivation progress."

"And once Soul Masters reach Level Fifty, Soul Tools become far less useful and don't contribute much to combat. So I think students in the Spirit Master Department should use Soul Tools as little as possible."

Wu Feng's words struck a chord with many students.

After all, in the eyes of most students, Soul Tools were products of the Sun Moon Empire—foreign goods—so they instinctively resisted them.

And Soul Tools were far too expensive. Compared with cultivating their Martial Souls, they offered abysmal value for money. This was also the main reason the Shrek Soul Engineering Department was struggling to develop.
