Soul Power Introduction Class

After the much-loved physical education class came the sigh-inducing cultural lessons.

The children of Douluo's native population could not escape the instincts of students. They utterly loathed cultural courses, and as Lin Huo walked toward the classroom, all he saw were dejected walking corpses.

But as a qualified transmigrator, Lin Huo had been eagerly anticipating courses that taught Soul Master knowledge.

Unlike the knowledge he had learned in school in his previous life, which he would probably only use a few times in his entire lifetime before gradually forgetting it all.

Every piece of knowledge learned within the Soul Master system could become an indelible foundation that fed back into oneself.

Ever-deeper Soul Power, an ever-stronger body—when all of it came together, increasingly powerful strength could truly be grasped in one's hands.

This excellent positive feedback alone was far beyond anything learning in his previous life could compare with.

Lin Huo soon arrived beneath the teaching building and began considering which course he should attend next.

According to the rules established by the Flame Junior Division, students had the right to freely choose the order in which they attended classes.

Though that sounded like it was not particularly useful, there was actually some deeper meaning hidden within it.

After all, a person's energy was ultimately limited, especially for a group of young children.

When classes were taken consecutively, students would inevitably have more energy for the earlier lessons, while whether they learned anything in the later ones would depend entirely on fate.

For example, he could now devote his abundant mental energy to several useful courses, while placing a required class that was not especially useful after he was exhausted so he could study it—rest through it.

"Soul Power Introduction, Martial Soul Studies, Introduction to Soul Beasts, Imperial History."

Silently reciting the names of the remaining courses, Lin Huo had already arranged them in his preferred order.

Imperial History was undoubtedly the most useless course and the one best left until last, perhaps even reserved as spare time for reviewing other subjects.

As for the remaining three courses...

Lin Huo's feet had already moved decisively, and he quickly entered the classroom for Soul Power Introduction.

The moment he entered, he saw that every seat was occupied. More than thirty students sat at their desks, flipping through books or fiddling with their pen shafts.

It had to be said that although the Flame Junior Division recruited students every year, this year's intake only numbered a little over a hundred.

For Soul Power Introduction, a non-required course, to have thirty students seated during its second session was truly rare.

When the teacher waiting at the podium saw Lin Huo arrive, his eyes immediately lit up and he rose to greet him.

"Hello, Lin Huo. My name is Ding Ge, and I am the instructor for Soul Power Introduction. Welcome to this course."

"Hello, Teacher Ding Ge."

"Mm." Ding Ge nodded with a smile and continued, "Lin Huo, you are a specially designated elite student of the academy. According to the rules, I need to first understand your specific knowledge of this course before deciding on a teaching plan.

We still have some time before class officially begins. How about we start right away?"

"Wait. We will not follow your teaching schedule? You will teach according to my learning progress instead?"

"Precisely, Lin Huo."

Lin Huo was so startled that his mouth hung open. The feeling of being the center of attention as a member of a privileged class truly felt strange to him.

After recovering from his brief surprise, Lin Huo nodded. "All right, then let's begin."

Privileges unused expired. Since the benefits had already been shoved directly into his mouth, Lin Huo was not the sort of stubborn person who insisted on talking about fairness and justice.

Ding Ge led Lin Huo to a seat near the front of the classroom. Having already prepared what he wanted to say, Ding Ge asked, "May I ask how much Lin Huo currently knows about this course?"

Ding Ge's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it carried throughout the entire classroom and drew the attention of every student inside.

As one of the few privileged students who stood even above the noble-born students, every move Lin Huo made naturally attracted attention.

Especially after word spread that Lin Huo had beaten up eight upperclassmen by himself that morning, his popularity among the teachers and students had reached the point where everyone was watching him.

Everyone was now curious: since Lin Huo's strength already stood so far above the rest, just how impressive was his knowledge?

Completely unaware of the watching gazes around him, Lin Huo organized his words based on what Huo Tian had taught him and his own preparation, then began answering:

"Regarding Soul Power Introduction, this course aims to teach academy students to understand Soul Power and use Soul Power.

Understanding Soul Power means using various cases as support to help students understand the nature of Soul Power, how Soul Power is formed, how Soul Power is absorbed and strengthened, as well as why Soul Power attributes arise and why they change.

As for using Soul Power, the course focuses on practice, allowing students to better and more proficiently master the methods of circulating Soul Power, thereby laying a foundation for the combat and research they will need in the future.

Teacher Ding Ge, is what I said correct?"

"..."

Ding Ge fell into thought, staring blankly without saying a word. It was not that he believed there was anything wrong with Lin Huo's answer; he simply had some things he could not understand.

Judging by Lin Huo's manner of speaking and his extraordinary understanding, the origin of his education was clearly far from ordinary.

He was either from a major noble family or born into a Soul Master clan with a long inheritance.

The knowledge available in such places was far superior to what a teacher like him, who taught children in the junior division, could offer.

If that was the case, why had Lin Huo come to learn in his classroom?

After all, he was merely an instructor at the Flame Junior Division of Blazing Fire Academy. What he taught was nowhere near as profound as Lin Huo had described.

At most, he helped students stabilize their Meditation and cultivation states in class, while also guiding them through some relatively basic questions about using Soul Power.

Things like Soul Power composition and the nature of Soul Power sounded so unfathomably profound. Were those not subjects only great figures at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo levels should study?

A bead of cold sweat slowly slid down his temple as countless doubts rose in Ding Ge's heart.

At that moment, he felt that Lin Huo had not come to attend his class at all, but specifically to pick faults with him.

There was precedent for this. For example, when the eldest young master of the Fire Clan, Huo Wushuang, had first enrolled years ago, he had constantly raised questions in class that put Ding Ge in an awkward position.

It was only after Huo Wushuang found picking on him truly boring that he spared Ding Ge and applied to withdraw from the course.

Even now, recalling the incident made him so embarrassed that his toes involuntarily curled.

Determined not to let the same humiliation happen again, Ding Ge rolled his eyes and made up his mind to persuade Lin Huo to drop the course.

Letting out an appreciative laugh, Ding Ge praised him generously. "Haha, Lin Huo, you are truly knowledgeable and well-read! In fact, your answer could not be more correct.

However, this is ultimately only a junior division course. I am afraid what it teaches may disappoint you."

Lin Huo frowned, instinctively sensing that Teacher Ding Ge's demeanor had become much stranger.
