Wang Dong froze when she heard Zhou Yi's words.

"Sit down." Zhou Yi waved her hand lightly, and a surge of dense Soul Power swept over, forcing Wang Dong back into her seat.

"If this were more than four thousand years ago, that answer would have been correct. But today, that answer is absurdly wrong. Huo Yuhao, tell me why."

Huo Yuhao, whose name had been called, jolted in surprise. He had not expected Zhou Yi to know his name.

He stood and answered, "Because of Soul Tools."

Zhou Yi glanced at him and continued.

"Sit down. Yes, it is precisely because of the emergence of Soul Tools that the distinction between offense and defense has become blurred. That is also today's lesson."

Afterward, Zhou Yi explained much about Soul Tools and gave many examples.

"Even a food-type Soul Master, as long as they wield a sufficiently powerful Soul Tool, can unleash attack power no weaker than that of a strong assault-type Battle Soul Master."

Beyond the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang was completely lost as he listened to Zhou Yi's theory.

He immediately wrote in the chat.

[Yu Xiaogang: How could Soul Tools possibly increase a Soul Master's strength? Only Soul Rings and Soul Bones can change a Soul Master's strength!]

Yu Xiaogang even had a classic theory: more rings and more bones, unleash a wave of skills; fewer rings and fewer bones, turn and run.

Very quickly, Yu Xiaogang's theory was questioned once more.

[Wu Zhangkong: The boost brought by Soul Tools is the greatest! Even Soul Rings and Soul Bones cannot compare to the enhancement provided by Soul Tools. Don't you have Battle Armor?]

[Yu Xiaogang: What is Battle Armor?]

[Xu Xiaoyan: So he's trash who doesn't even know what Battle Armor is, yet he dares call himself a theory master?]

Yu Xiaogang's head was filled with question marks. What exactly was this Battle Armor? Some new kind of Soul Tool?

At the same time, Tang San was also utterly confused. Why did these Soul Tools sound so much like his hidden weapons?

"Could the decline of the Tang Sect have been caused by Soul Tools?"

Tang San was even more unable to understand it now.

"How could these lousy Soul Tools possibly compare to the Tang Sect's hidden weapons? In terms of destructive power, which is weaker than Soul Tools—the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle or Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus?"

So Tang San typed into the chat.

[Tang San: In terms of destructive power, how could Soul Tools possibly compare to hidden weapons?]

[Qiangu Dongfeng: You mean Tang Sect hidden weapons, don't you?]

[Tang San: Of course. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons are invincible.]

[Qiangu Dongfeng: Hahaha, this is too funny. These comments really produce all sorts of talents. First there was a theory master who didn't know what Battle Armor was, and now there's a Tang Sect disciple claiming hidden weapons are more powerful than Soul Tools. Your Tang Sect really is a joke.]

Qiangu Dongfeng laughed nonstop within the Spirit Pagoda. Right now, he truly wanted to fire a Level 12 Fixed-Installation Soul Tool Shell at the Tang Sect headquarters and let those people see the power of Soul Tools.

Meanwhile, within the Tang Sect, Zang Xin, the Amorous Douluo, was also somewhat dumbfounded.

In this day and age, there were actually Tang Sect disciples within their ranks still obsessed with hidden weapons?

Did they not know that hidden weapons had been phased out ten thousand years ago?

Just then, Zhou Yi continued.

"It can be said that the emergence of Soul Tools has greatly changed the direction and current state of Soul Master cultivation. In truth, only the role of Soul Rings has been weakened."

"Without question, this cultivation method is indeed effective in the short term, especially for Soul Masters below Level 50. But what I want to say is that Shrek Academy does not cultivate such Soul Masters, because once they pass Level 50, all those Soul Engineers are trash!"

"The higher the level, the weaker the advantages of Soul Tools and the more obvious the advantages of Soul Masters become."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang stood up again.

[Yu Xiaogang: Did you hear that? The enhancement from Soul Tools is limited. A Soul Master's own strength is what matters.]

[Yun Ming: The stronger a Soul Master is, the stronger the enhancement from Soul Tools becomes. Her theory was wrong to begin with.]

[Yu Xiaogang: She's a teacher from Shrek. You're saying her theory is wrong? Who do you think you are? The headmaster of Shrek Academy?]

Yun Ming: "???"

Who the hell was this person? He had provoked him again and again!

This was absolutely intolerable!

At the same time, Ye Chen, who had been listening to Zhou Yi's theory, could no longer hold back his laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Yi asked coldly.

"Nothing. I'm just laughing at how shortsighted you are," Ye Chen said calmly.

"If two people are roughly equal in strength, but one possesses Soul Tools while the other only has Soul Power, who do you think would win?"

"The stronger the Soul Tool, the more powerful Soul Power it consumes. If you use all your Soul Power on Soul Tools, how will you contend with me? Your attack power may be strong, but your other aspects will be weak. It would still be useless," Zhou Yi retorted.

"What if there were a kind of Soul Tool that could comprehensively enhance a Soul Master's combat strength?" Ye Chen said.

Beyond the Sky Screen, the Soul Masters of the Dragon King Era were all stunned by Ye Chen's answer.

What Ye Chen described was precisely the Battle Armor and Mecha of their era—Soul Tools used to enhance themselves.

That was right. What Ye Chen meant was the Battle Armor and Mecha of ten thousand years later.

With the enhancement of Battle Armor and Mecha, forget opponents of the same level—even if you had one more Soul Ring, what could you do?

At this moment, Ye Chen was actually quite eager to hear Zhou Yi's answer.

If I unveiled the Battle Armor theory, how would you refute it?

"There is no such Soul Tool, Ye Chen. Don't get hung up on impossible ideas." Zhou Yi thought for a moment before replying.

Even her husband, Fan Yu, did not know that such a Soul Tool existed.

"It's not that it doesn't exist. You're simply ignorant." Ye Chen did not want to explain it to Zhou Yi.

Idiots would never understand.

Even the emergence of Sun Moon Empire Soul Tools had failed to change Shrek's outdated way of thinking.

No wonder the Sun Moon Empire was the one that ultimately unified the continent.

Once Ye Chen reached four or five Soul Rings, he would be able to forge a set of One-Word Battle Armor for himself.

When that time came, Ye Chen was very curious how those Shrek inner court students would fight against him once he possessed Battle Armor.

Once his Soul Power Level rose a little further, Ye Chen could even forge an entire Mecha legion or Battle Armor legion.

At that point, the Douluo Continent would be his for the taking!

After that, Zhou Yi discussed some of the upcoming training plans before dismissing class.

However, when class ended, Zhou Yi specifically stopped Huo Yuhao.

Ye Chen did not even need to think about it. He was definitely taking Huo Yuhao to Fan Yu to test Soul Tools.

Even after everyone in the classroom had dispersed, beyond the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang from the Spirit Hall era still did not understand.

"What? What exactly are Soul Tools? Aren't Soul Rings and Soul Bones the only things that affect a Soul Master's combat strength?"

As a grand master of martial soul theory, there was actually a theory he did not understand?

As Ye Chen was preparing to return to his dormitory, Bibi Dong in the Sea of Spirit suddenly asked.

"Can Soul Tools really improve a Soul Master's strength?"

"Of course they can." Ye Chen answered with absolute certainty. "Once I am strong enough, I'll forge a set of Soul Tools just for you, Teacher."

"When that time comes, even if you face the joint siege of three Limit Douluo, you will remain undefeated."

Beyond the Sky Screen, Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed with shock when he heard Ye Chen's words.

"One person fighting three Limit Douluo and remaining undefeated... has the era of pure Soul Masters truly come to an end?"

Compared with Qian Daoliu's shock, Yu Xiaogang wore a look of utter disdain.

"No matter how strong a Soul Tool is, it cannot possibly grant a Soul Master such an enormous boost! One Limit Douluo fighting three Limit Douluo at once? Keep bragging!"

Compared with the Spirit Hall era, the many Limit Douluo of the Dragon King Era were too shocked to speak.

"Could Ye Chen be talking about Four-Word Battle Armor?"

"Does this person named Ye Chen want to forge Four-Word Battle Armor ten thousand years ago?"

"How is that possible? If he can forge Battle Armor ten thousand years ago, I'll kowtow to everyone!"
