The gap between the two academies
He will be forcibly infused with the power of Evil God through the secret methods of the Holy Spirit Cult, stripped of his last shred of humanity, and turned into a monster who only knows killing and destruction.
The moment he truly becomes a god, the entire Douluo Continent will face its end.
Shrek couldn't stop him, the Clear Sky Sect couldn't stop him, and even if Mu En were to intervene, it would likely take considerable effort to suppress him.
Wang Dong'er fell completely silent after reading the part about the Evil God.
She originally thought Huo Yuhao was miserable at Shrek, but now that she thinks about it, at least that misery at Shrek made him a human being.
In the Holy Spirit Cult, he felt no resentment and could kill whomever he wanted, but he could no longer be called a human being.
Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, and felt a deeper agreement with Lin Ye's previous analysis.
Environment shapes people; Huo Yuhao's luck actually lies in meeting Bei Bei and Shrek.
If your first stop is the Holy Spirit Cult, then your whole life is ruined.
Therefore, if Huo Yuhao had joined the Holy Spirit Cult from the beginning, it would have been an absolute disaster.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's guidance couldn't suppress the Evil Soul Master's brainwashing; the Holy Spirit Cult's resources would push him down a path of no return.
He will become the strongest Evil Soul Master in history, slaughtering his way across the continent.
But he himself is definitely in pain. In the dead of night, he may recall his mother's face before she died, the grievances he suffered as a child, and then feel that what he is doing now is even more disgusting than those who bullied him back then.
But by then he couldn't stop. He was surrounded by people from the demon's lair, so he could only keep moving forward until he was destroyed.
In this hypothesis, Huo Yuhao isn't even a good person, nor even a purely evil one; he's just a pathetic, pitiful wretch manipulated by fate and ultimately driven to complete darkness.
The path of the Holy Spirit Cult is a dead end; once you embark on it, there's no turning back.
But what if Huo Yuhao had left the Duke's Mansion and gone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy? This hypothesis is much brighter than the one from the Holy Spirit Cult, and judging from Huo Yuhao's talent, this path might have been smoother than going to Shrek.
Let's talk about what would happen if Huo Yuhao went there.
First, look at the environmental differences between the two sides.
Shrek has been the top academy on the continent for thousands of years, with a great reputation and profound heritage. However, this academy has one incurable problem: rigid class structure.
The Sea God Pavilion Elder, the Core Disciple of the Inner Court, and the ordinary students of the Outer Court are separated by thick high walls.
For those at the bottom to climb the ranks, besides having top-notch talent, they also need to accumulate seniority, rely on luck, and wait for those above them to step down.
When Huo Yuhao first entered Shrek, his Soul Power Level was low and his background was extremely poor. The resources he received in the Outer Court were very limited.
The reason his cultivation speed didn't take off in the early stages was largely because he was constrained by limited resources.
Xiao Xiao felt a certain agreement with what she read in the diary.
Having spent so long at Shrek Academy, she has a clear understanding of its ins and outs.
Students with good talent are given special attention and training, while those with average talent can only pick up the scraps on the sidelines. This difference is not noticeable in normal times, but it becomes an insurmountable chasm when it comes to crucial moments.
Xiao Xiao thought about herself; if it weren't for her family's resources and her own hard work, she probably would have been overwhelmed by that kind of environment.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and Shrek Academy are completely different in style.
This academy also values seniority, and it's not uncommon for senior students to bully new apprentices and for older students to suppress younger ones.
However, its middle and lower levels are not as rigid as Shrek's.
Soul Tool are an extremely technical discipline. If you have ideas, unique skills, and create something superior to others, you can succeed.
This technology-driven environment is paradise for highly talented students without any background.
Huo Yuhao's talent for Soul Tool was only gradually discovered later at Shrek. If he had entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy immediately upon joining, his talent would have been discovered immediately.
Those old professors, just by witnessing the speed at which he grasped the structure of Soul Tool, would treasure him dearly.
Wang Dong'er raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this.
The longer she stayed at Shrek, the more lifeless the place seemed to her.
Shrek is too rule-bound; too many rules become shackles.
Places like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, which only value technique and ability, are actually more straightforward.
Wang Dong'er didn't have a good impression of Huo Yuhao, but she admitted that if she were in Huo Yuhao's position, she would also choose the Sun Moon Empire.
Over there, nobody cares what your surname is or what your background is; creating good things is the only thing that matters.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, in the Soul Master system, is a mental support; in the Soul Tool system, it's a cheat code.
The core of Soul Tool lies in its precise assembly and the connection of Soul Power circuits, which requires extremely high Spirit Power.
An ordinary Soul Engineer would have to spend ages aligning a tiny Soul Power node with tweezers, but Huo Yuhao could lock onto its location in seconds with just a scan of his Spirit Power.
What takes others ten days to half a month to Soul Tool, he can do in two or three days.
Moreover, his Spiritual Detection can directly identify the weak points in the energy circuit of the Soul Tool, and by making a few changes to the design drawings, the power can be doubled.
The genius students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy would all have to call him their ancestor in this regard.
Ning Tian couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.
She didn't know much about the principles of Soul Tool, but she knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had always had a weak point in Soul Tool research and development.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a Spirit Power genius like Huo Yuhao back then, the level of the sect's Soul Tool would probably have risen several notches long ago.
Ning Tian pulled her thoughts back to the diary. She was very curious about what would happen to Huo Yuhao if he really went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Huo Yuhao will receive top-tier resources.
The Sun Moon Empire has no shortage of Soul Tool materials and is most willing to spend money on Soul Engineer.
As long as Huo Yuhao displays his talent, the big shots in the academy will give him the green light, and all sorts of rare metals, High-Purity Soul Tool Crystal, and even blueprints for Level Nine Soul Guidance Device will be placed in front of him.
Unlike in Shrek Academy, he didn't have to risk his life for a single Soul Bone.
In the Sun Moon Empire, he only needed to sit in the workshop and calmly draw and assemble, and his Soul Power Level and Soul Tool proficiency would soar simultaneously.
Ma Xiaotao saw this, she pursed her lips.
She felt it was a bit unfair, but it was indeed a benefit of the environment.
Talent development at Shrek often requires individuals to fight for it themselves, sometimes even risking their lives.
Huo Yuhao almost died while at Shrek in pursuit of the Ice Empress Origin.
