Learning Soul Guidance Devices!

Ring, ring, ring!

Morning classes ended quickly, and everyone left the classroom cheering. It had to be said that after getting rid of that self-righteous Zhou Yi, the atmosphere among the students of Freshman Class One had become much more relaxed.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Zhu Lu also got up and headed toward the Soul Guidance Department. The three chatted along the way. After Wang Dong came clean with Huo Yuhao last night, he had started hanging out with Zhu Lu.

Since Zhu Lu knew Wang Dong's true gender, the two chatted like sisters, leaving Huo Yuhao marveling at the side. The relationships between girls really were strange!

Soon, the three arrived at the Soul Guidance Department. Fan Yu was currently leading He Caitou in an experiment involving a soul-guided artillery shell.

The three did not disturb them and simply watched from the side. As He Caitou poured soul power into it, the soul-guided artillery shell was immediately thrown out, instantly engulfing a vast section of the testing grounds in its explosion range.

Seeing such a terrifying explosion, He Caitou smiled, while Fan Yu nodded approvingly beside him. It had to be said that He Caitou's talent for soul guidance was truly extraordinary.

"Hmm, you're here? Why didn't you say anything?" Fan Yu noticed the three watching from the corner of his eye. He approached them with a friendly expression, and Huo Yuhao waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

"It's nothing, Teacher Fan Yu. We were just looking at the soul tools. Can we begin now?" Huo Yuhao's eyes shone brightly, as if he intended to thoroughly master soul tools.

"Hahaha, good. You three, come with me!" Seeing the determination in their eyes, Fan Yu looked delighted. He led them to the theoretical knowledge section of the Soul Guidance Department, where row after row of densely packed books left the three dazzled.

Fan Yu went to one particular area and took out several sets of materials, all study materials suitable for beginner soul engineers, along with simple first-grade soul guidance formations.

"These are introductory materials for soul engineers, including the concepts behind them and some simple first-grade soul guidance formations."

Listening to Teacher Fan Yu's explanation, the three began reading through them. Huo Yuhao even directly used his Spirit Eyes to speed up his memorization.

As basic formations appeared before his eyes one after another, they immediately caught Elex's attention within the Spirit Sea. Looking at those familiar yet unfamiliar formations, countless golden lights flashed in Elex's eyes.

"I never expected this, never expected this. The people of this world actually applied formations in such a way? It's quite an interesting idea. It's much stronger than releasing them directly."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao became interested. He looked at Elex curiously and asked, "Elder Elex, were you also a soul engineer before?"

Elex shook his head and slowly said, "Soul engineer? No. I was once a mage. Seeing these formations reminded me of some memories."

"I was once a light mage, chosen by the light element and made a Child of Light. But later, because of hatred, I chose necromancy for revenge and slaughtered the people of an empire. Afterward, through my own efforts, I fused the indescribable forces of necromancy and light magic together, achieving my current standing as the Holy Necromancer God."

Huo Yuhao listened quietly without interrupting or judging him. Without having gone through what Elex had endured, he had no right to judge him. Besides, he felt no malice from Elex. Clearly, Elder Elex had not been consumed by hatred.

After the three had studied for some time, they had memorized several basic propulsion formations. Fan Yu also tested them and found that their memories were exceptional, so he took out some scrap metal and gave it to them to carve propulsion formations into.

The laboratory had carving knives prepared for them. Looking at the three pieces of metal before them, the three picked up their carving knives and began engraving. The sounds of metal being cut rang out from their side.

Fan Yu used this opportunity to assess their talent for soul guidance and determine whether they could advance further. Of course, if they could, he would contact Dean Qian to discuss a plan.

As time passed bit by bit, the three handed Fan Yu the soul-guided propulsion formations they had carved. Looking at the formation cores in his hands, each as flawless as a template, Fan Yu stood frozen in place.

Taking a deep breath, he signaled for the three to return first. Tomorrow, he would teach them how to carve first-grade soul guidance cores. He wanted them to go back early so they could rest and recover their spiritual power.

"Then, goodbye, Teacher Fan Yu!"

After saying farewell, the three left the Soul Guidance Department. Watching them depart, Fan Yu picked up a confidential soul-guidance communicator and spoke in a solemn tone. "Dean Qian, I've discovered three promising talents for the Soul Guidance Department!"

The scene shifted. Huo Yuhao and the other two had now strolled to the shore of Sea God Lake. Along the way, the two girls chatted while Huo Yuhao pondered whether the soul guidance formations could be altered in some way.

"Your thinking is correct, Yuhao. Formations need not be restricted to their original designs; they can be modified. Even the slightest changes in the engravings can alter a formation's effect!"

Elex, as a mage, slowly spoke and answered some of Huo Yuhao's questions regarding formations. Hearing that they could be changed, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. At the same time, he looked at Elex with anticipation.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's little expression, Elex chuckled softly. "If you are willing to take me as your master, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life. Of course, are you willing to trust me?"

"No! Yuhao! That old man entered your Spirit Sea without permission. How can you take him as your master? Be careful, or he might possess you!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was extremely agitated. If this fellow possessed Yuhao, then he would be finished!

"Waaah!" Tianmeng was about to continue speaking when Elex casually raised a hand and sent him flying. Huo Yuhao walked directly up to Elex, dropped to one knee, and expressed his respect.

"Huo Yuhao greets Teacher!" Huo Yuhao slowly lowered his head. He believed his judgment would not be wrong. The person before him was a good teacher.

"Good! Good! Good! Get up, child!" Elex was deeply moved. He had never expected that he would still be able to take in a disciple. Then Elex raised his hand and gently placed it on Huo Yuhao's head.

The next second, basic magic formations and incantations flooded into Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Yuhao! These are templates for several basic formations and the incantations for basic magic. Although I am a necromancer, I have also dabbled in magic of some other elements."

"Ice Spike, Fireball, and Earth Shield are the three most basic spells. Once you can cast them instantly, I will teach you more advanced spells!"

Listening to Elex's explanation, Huo Yuhao nodded. Suddenly, he felt someone tugging at his arm. Zhu Lu and Wang Dong'er had somehow come up beside him and were shaking his arm.

"Yuhao! Look, there seems to be something on the lake!" Zhu Lu and Wang Dong pointed at Sea God Lake before them.

"Huh? There does seem to be something... Huh? No, that's not right!" He had not thought much of it at first, but as the distant red light drew closer and the temperature around them rose higher and higher, Huo Yuhao realized something was wrong. He wanted to warn them, but it was already too late!
