Wang Yan's Theoretical Strength

Inside the classroom, Wang Yan stood at the podium, looking out at the chattering freshmen with a look of helplessness on his face.

He was gentle by nature and did not like to throw his weight around, nor could he command the students with the iron-fisted methods Zhou Yi used.

For a moment, he stood there, wanting to speak but hesitating, and the atmosphere grew slightly awkward.

Cao Longyan took all of this in, and without a moment's hesitation, he stood up and bowed to Wang Yan.

"Everyone, quiet down."

His voice was not loud, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.

Because of his confrontation with Zhou Yi on the first day, the absolute strength he had displayed, and the tailored plans he had provided for each individual, the entire class was already completely convinced by him.

Hearing his voice, the whole class fell silent instantly, each student straightening their backs in their seats.

Cao Longyan swept his gaze across the room, finally landing on Wang Yan at the podium, and spoke in a calm tone.

"From today on, Teacher Wang Yan will be our homeroom teacher... Let us welcome Teacher Wang Yan."

As he finished speaking, he was the first to start clapping.

Seeing this, the rest of the class followed suit, and the atmosphere instantly turned enthusiastic.

Wang Yan looked at the blue-haired youth before him, unable to help but sigh inwardly.

So this is Cao Longyan, the monitor of Freshman Class One recognized by Teacher Zhou Yi... He truly is different... He is also the student Dean Yan and the others repeatedly urged me to pay close attention to.

Not only was he powerful and exceptionally gifted, but he was also a natural leader; this aura and prestige were something even the geniuses of the Inner Court, or even the Later Generation Shrek Seven Devils—excluding the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils—could not compare to.

Feeling grateful, Wang Yan nodded slightly toward Cao Longyan and began his lecture.

Wang Yan's research into martial souls had long since reached its peak.

He didn't waste any time, showing his true expertise by conducting a detailed, one-on-one analysis for every single student in the class.

From the essential attributes of their martial souls to the most suitable cultivation methods and their future development paths, everything was precise and accurate.

Every student he analyzed wore an expression of shock and admiration.

"So that's how my martial soul can be used!"

"Teacher Wang Yan is too amazing; he saw through my problems at a single glance!"

"I feel like I can see my future so clearly now!"

Only Cao Longyan remained calm.

As a transmigrator, he already knew Wang Yan's capabilities like the back of his hand.

This future master of martial soul theory in the Shrek Academy Outer Court Martial Soul Department naturally possessed such terrifying analytical talent.

When he reached the analysis for Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, Wang Yan paused, his tone becoming solemn.

"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, the three of you come to my office after class. There are some things I need to confirm with you."

Cao Longyan's heart stirred.

He knew that Wang Yan must have noticed something unusual about their martial souls.

Especially in the case of Huo Yuhao, whose Ice Jade Empress Scorpion martial soul from the original story had been snatched away by him.

He was very curious: without the Sky Dream Ice Worm and the Ice Empress, what would Huo Yuhao's second martial soul be, and what secrets did Huo Yuhao hold?

Finally, Wang Yan's gaze fell upon Cao Longyan.

He shook his head slightly, a helpless smile on his face.

"Cao Longyan, your situation is too unique... With my abilities, I cannot offer any useful analysis... Furthermore, Dean Yan and the others have instructed me that you should be left to walk your own path."

As these words fell, the entire class erupted in an uproar.

Teacher Wang Yan, who had just shown them he was omnipotent when it came to martial soul theory, had actually hit a wall with Cao Longyan!

"Damn! The monitor is too OP! Even Teacher Wang Yan can't analyze him!"

"Monitor, this must be a first in Shrek's history!"

"No one has ever made the Academy reach such a decision before!"

Wang Dong sat to the side, watching Cao Longyan being fawned over by everyone else, puffing out his cheeks and muttering to himself.

"What's so great about that? He's just showing off again... I will definitely catch up to him!"

He possessed twin martial souls, and the potential of twin martial souls was not necessarily lower than Cao Longyan's single, top-tier Ice Dragon King martial soul.

Cao Longyan just smiled faintly, not paying it any mind.

The bell rang for the end of class.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao followed Wang Yan toward the office.

Cao Longyan followed them as well.

He wanted to see Wang Yan's analysis, and even more so, he wanted to clear things up with Xiao Xiao regarding yesterday's events as soon as possible.

He remembered Wang Dong's analysis from last night, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.

As he stepped out of the classroom, he happened to run into Su Yao, who had just parted ways with Xiao Xiao.

Passing by her, Cao Longyan felt a gaze filled with fury that he couldn't quite decipher.

Wait, I don't think I know her? And I don't think I have any grudge against her, right?

This inexplicable hostility left him somewhat puzzled, but he merely frowned and, without stopping, quickened his pace to catch up with Wang Yan and the others.

Inside Wang Yan's office.

Wang Yan closed the door and, without the slightest bit of beating around the bush, got straight to the point.

"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, you two must be twin martial souls, right?"

Both were startled, their eyes widening, their mouths hanging open in shock.

Observing their stunned reactions, Wang Yan became even more certain of his judgment and continued.

"I watched the recording of your duel with Teacher Zhou Yi several times. Xiao Xiao, the flute you brought out at the end, and Wang Dong, the hammer you revealed—those should be martial souls, not soul tools. Although they lack soul rings, the fluctuations in your soul power, especially yours, Wang Dong—your second soul ring is a thousand-year one, and your physical constitution far exceeds that of an ordinary person—all of this greatly increases the probability that you are twin martial soul users."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao withdrew their shocked expressions, realizing they could no longer hide it.

This Teacher Wang Yan is truly formidable!

After a moment of hesitation, they simultaneously released their second martial souls.

A flute, entirely emerald green and inlaid with phoenix patterns, appeared in Xiao Xiao's hand: the Nine Phoenix Flute!

A short, pitch-black hammer crackling with black-blue electricity appeared in Wang Dong's hand: the Clear Sky Hammer!

Seeing Xiao Xiao reveal the Nine Phoenix Flute without any soul rings, Cao Longyan was slightly taken aback.

He remembered that Xiao Xiao's Nine Phoenix Flute originally had soul rings, didn't it?

Could it be that his own transmigration had triggered a butterfly effect, changing all of this?

"This is the Nine Phoenix Flute and the Clear Sky Hammer! One is a rare, ancient tool martial soul, and the other was once the continent's number one tool martial soul!"

Wang Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

Neither Xiao Xiao nor Wang Dong had expected Teacher Wang Yan to recognize their martial souls at a single glance.

Wang Yan's gaze then fell upon Huo Yuhao.

His eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity.

"Huo Yuhao, to be honest, I couldn't discern your martial soul from the footage of your duel with Teacher Zhou Yi... but I can sense that your martial soul must be of the rare spirit type. Could you show it to me?"

Huo Yuhao was also somewhat surprised, but he chose not to conceal it and directly released his martial soul, the Spirit Eye.

His pale blue eyes radiated a strange spiritual fluctuation.

"Teacher Wang Yan, my martial soul is the Spirit Eye—that is, my eyes."

"It's actually a rare and powerful body martial soul!"

A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Wang Yan's eyes.

"Then, are your soul skills related to the spirit type as well?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"My first soul skill is Spirit Detection, which can..."

Huo Yuhao's description of this skill was the same as the one in the original story.

Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately formulated a series of targeted cultivation suggestions for the three of them.

However, both Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao wore expressions of hesitation.

Cao Longyan could understand Wang Dong's hesitation; after all, he had a powerful background and his own set of cultivation methods.

But why would Huo Yuhao, without the cheats of the Sky Dream Ice Worm and Electrolux, also hesitate?

Could it be that he had encountered new opportunities?

As expected of the Child of Destiny; even after having his greatest opportunities intercepted, he can still find a new path on his own...

Cao Longyan thought to himself.

In that case, he had to secure Huo Yuhao even earlier.

In the future, to overthrow Tang San, he must ensure Huo Yuhao becomes one of his most capable allies.

Even if he had to settle for second best, he could not let him run off to Tang San's side!
