When Wang Dong heard Huo Yuhao say that his martial soul was his eyes, she immediately understood why, when she had fought him before, she had felt as though all her movements had been seen through.
"So, back then, you were able to accurately catch my attack routes because of your martial soul?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. That only made Wang Dong feel worse. Good grief, had she been played like a monkey?
"Alright! Don't be angry anymore! I might start planning to withdraw from Shrek Academy soon." Huo Yuhao flipped through the soul beast encyclopedia and stated his intention without even looking up.
"Why? Isn't Shrek Academy good?" Wang Dong did not understand. She still had a certain idealized impression of Shrek Academy and felt that this place was the holy land of Soul Masters!
"Why? Look!" Huo Yuhao raised the soul beast encyclopedia in his hand and pointed to a page introducing ice-attributed soul beasts. Recorded by: the Sixth Priest of Martial Soul Hall, Guangling Douluo!
There had originally been nothing wrong with it, but Wang Dong noticed that the entry had been viciously scribbled over and replaced with an obscure Titled Douluo.
"Th-This is impersonation!" Wang Dong gaped in disbelief. Huo Yuhao nodded. When he had seen that page just now, his eyes had widened as well.
"Not only that, this herbal record has also been claimed under someone else's name! It even seems to be one of Shrek Academy's elders!" Huo Yuhao looked at the ancient book in his hands. On the back, it read: Author: Martial Soul Hall Elder Yue Guan!
"This Shrek Academy really has opened our eyes!" Huo Yuhao sighed, becoming even more determined to leave the academy!
Meanwhile, at the Academic Affairs Office of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.
A thin middle-aged man wearing glasses and ornate clothes sat inside, his face full of headache as he looked at the expulsion report Zhou Yi had submitted.
"That Zhou Yi really thinks she can act this arrogantly just because Fan Yu is the academy's only Rank 8 soul engineer!"
This man was Du Weilun, the outer courtyard dean who also served as director of the Academic Affairs Office!
At that moment, Du Weilun was deeply troubled by the report Zhou Yi had submitted. It would have been one thing if it were anyone else, but one of the names on it was Huo Yuhao.
That boy was a friend of that person's great-grandson, and even a friend and disciple of that person's only remaining Tang Sect master. What a headache!
"Tell Zhou Yi that I'll transfer them to Class Four, to Mu Jin's class. But I don't want to see anyone else expelled. If this happens again, I won't give face even to Fan Yu!"
Du Weilun waved his hand and handed the list to a teacher beside him, telling him to deliver it to Zhou Yi. The surrounding teachers deeply understood Du Weilun's helplessness. If even the director of the Academic Affairs Office could do nothing about it, what could they possibly do?
On Zhou Yi's side, even after receiving Du Weilun's warning, she still looked disdainful. She did rein herself in somewhat, but only somewhat!
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had just walked out of the library when they heard an announcement over the broadcast informing them that they had been assigned to New Student Class Four.
"Looks like you won't be expelled after all!" Wang Dong was delighted and looked toward Huo Yuhao, only to see him lost in thought. Clearly, he was dissatisfied with this result!
"Strange, Yuhao, what's wrong?"
Hearing Wang Dong's question, Huo Yuhao shook his head, indicating that he was fine. Perhaps Zhou Yi was an exception. He only hoped that the teacher of Class Four would not disappoint him.
Afterward, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao returned to their dormitory. Huo Yuhao's gains that day consisted of all sorts of soul beast information from the library, as well as knowledge about herbs.
Zhou Yi had even wasted most of his time. Left with no choice, Huo Yuhao could only make up for it at night. He began regulating his breathing and entered meditation.
"Sigh! At it again! What a training maniac!" Wang Dong muttered. However, she rarely did not lie down to rest. Instead, like Huo Yuhao, she sat cross-legged on her bed and began meditating.
Time passed second by second, and soon it was the next morning.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived at Class Four together. They also saw quite a few familiar faces from Class One. It seemed that Teacher Zhou really had harmed quite a few people!
"I didn't expect so many people to be assigned here!" Wang Dong looked around curiously, making Huo Yuhao beside her rub his forehead helplessly. He tapped her on the head, signaling for her to be quieter.
They found seats by the window and sat down. During the following time, Huo Yuhao began considering his future source of income!
The income from grilled fish had nearly been used up. He needed to earn some money to refill his wallet. As for where the money would come from, Tang Ya had previously discussed setting up a grilled fish stall with him near the academy gate!
"Maybe we can even build some kind of business chain!" Huo Yuhao's lips curved upward as new plans formed in his mind.
The class bell rang.
A young female teacher wearing a qipao and sporting short purple hair walked in.
"Hello, students! I'll be your teacher for the next year. My name is Mu Jin, and I am a Rank 63 Soul Emperor. I believe this is all your first time coming to Shrek Academy, right?"
The students of Class Four nodded. Faced with such a gentle teacher, they unconsciously began listening attentively. The descendants of influential figures were generally polite; there were rarely any who acted arrogantly and domineeringly.
If there were, they had probably been taught to be that way.
"Of course, we also have students transferred from New Student Class One, and what I just said was meant for you as well." Mu Jin spoke kindly, giving Huo Yuhao a little more approval for Shrek Academy.
"Alright, class is about to begin! Before we start, I'd like to ask everyone: how many categories can Soul Masters be divided into?"
As soon as she finished speaking, several students raised their hands. Mu Jin knew a little about their backgrounds. They were all disciples of sect leaders, so their knowledge naturally would not be lacking.
Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, still did not know much. Tian Meng, that big fat worm, knew nothing at all about human Soul Masters. He had no choice but to learn everything himself.
"Alright! Ning Tian, please stand and answer!"
As Mu Jin finished speaking, a girl in the academy uniform stood up. Beneath her calm golden eyes lay a calculating gaze. She was the only auxiliary-system Soul Elder in Class Four, as well as the young sect mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Rank 31, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, Ning Tian!
"Yes, Teacher! Soul Masters can be divided into beast soul masters and tool soul masters. These can then be further divided into assault types, agility-attack types, defense types, auxiliary types, and other categories of Soul Masters."
Listening to Ning Tian's explanation, Mu Jin nodded. She approved of Ning Tian's analysis to a certain degree—only to a certain degree, of course.
"Good! Ning Tian, that was a very good answer. Please sit! That division was indeed correct in the past, but on the current continent, things are no longer categorized that way!"
With that, Mu Jin wrote three words on the blackboard: Soul Tools!
