Chapter 12 The Meaning of Existence
Soon, Huo Yuhao followed Zhou Yi to the teacher's office.
Zhou Yi then spoke directly to Huo Yuhao in a forceful manner: “Huo Yuhao, I don’t like to talk nonsense. I am very curious about your martial spirit. You didn’t show it to assist me when I was running before.”
"I have also asked the students who are testing you. Among the students in Class 1, the one with the best martial spirit is Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly. The second best is your spiritual martial spirit, Spirit Eyes."
"The student who was in charge of your assessment gave you a very high evaluation. Can you tell me what your first soul skill is?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned and said, “Teacher Zhou, your question seems a little inappropriate.”
"Soul skills are the most important means for every soul master. Apart from those famous inherited martial souls and soul skills, most people's soul skills are private."
"If this is the question, I refuse to answer it."
It was impossible for Huo Yuhao to explain that he had actually used his martial spirit, but Zhou Yi couldn't see it.
Zhou Yi's tone didn't change much, and she continued speaking.
After all, it is common sense in the soul master world not to probe into other people's soul skills, and she can indeed make inquiries as a teacher.
But after all, an academy is different from a sect, and the so-called teachers are not lifelong, so it is not as strict as in a sect.
"Okay, since you don't want to talk about it, forget it. The main reason I called you here is that I hope you can consider joining the Soul Guidance Department of our Shrek Academy."
Zhou Yi spoke bluntly. After all, she had heard Fan Yu talk about spiritual-attributed martial souls, especially the innate martial souls, so much that her ears were almost covered with calluses.
This time, there happened to be such a good seedling in her class. In Zhou Yi's opinion, it would not be a problem to bring him into the soul guide device.
After all, Huo Yuhao’s foundation was poor. With a soul power of only level 12, he would not be able to make a name for himself in the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, which was full of geniuses. It would be better for him to try the Soul Guidance Department.
"You know your own situation well. Although your martial soul is special, your foundation is too poor. The twelfth-level soul power is enough to prove that your innate soul power level is not high. Instead of joining the fiercely competitive martial soul department, you might as well consider joining the soul guidance department."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the Soul Guidance Department. Teacher Zhou, please go find someone else."
"Join the Soul Guidance Department? You're crazy. If I really want to learn the Soul Guidance Department, why don't I try to go to the Sun Moon Empire and learn the Soul Guidance Department in Shrek Academy? Who knows if what they teach is a trap set by the Sun Moon Empire."
"And with my current strength, I don't have the extra time to study soul guides. If I really want to study, I can't do it step by step like ordinary soul guides."
'Even if you really want to learn soul guides, it would be better to wait until your mental power level and soul power cultivation level are improved before learning them. After all, the stronger the mental power, the greater the advantage in soul guides.'
Hearing this, Zhou Yi's eyes turned a little colder, but she didn't force him and just nodded.
After all, the value that Huo Yuhao showed at this time was just a soul master seedling with good combat ability, but his innate soul power was too low and he had little training value.
The value of spiritual detection is not as great as shown in the original book, and she doesn't need to force someone who doesn't want to learn soul guidance to learn it.
"Well, in that case, you can go back first, but you should think about it carefully. After all, Tang Ya and Bei Bei have also applied to the academy for the combination of hidden weapons and soul guides."
"It's just that the two of them don't have any talent in soul guides. I think as a spiritual attribute soul master, you have the possibility."
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Goodbye, Teacher Zhou." Then he left Zhou Yi's office directly.
"But speaking of soul guides, I have been too busy recently to study the one I have with me. Although its origin is a bit shady, it is at least a level 5 soul guide. I can try to study it when I go back."
'Since the soul guide core array can work on metal, if it is improved through mental power, can it be directly displayed in the form of soul skills?'
'Or the invincible shield in the original work. If you can use your soul power to use the abilities of these disposable soul guides freely, this is much more reliable than studying how to match soul rings.'
Soon, Huo Yuhao went to the cafeteria to finish his meal and returned to the dormitory. Wang Dong also returned to the dormitory early, as if he was waiting for Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao, what did the perverted old lady talk to you about?" Wang Dong asked curiously.
"Why are you so talkative?” Huo Yuhao casually lay on the bed and asked, “What do you think about the question I asked you before class? What kind of person do you think Zhou Yi is?”
Biting his lips lightly, Wang Dong replied: "Cruel? Unreasonable?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, and then said to Wang Dong: "She was right in one thing. You are just an idiot."
"Your family is from a big sect or a big family, right? Haven't you been taught these things? Listen carefully, I will only tell you once, how much you can understand depends on you."
"You must have heard of Zhou Yi's reputation in school during this period, right?"
“A strict and good teacher? A quarter of the inner courtyard proportion? Unanimous praise from all inner courtyard disciples? That’s right.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Wang Dong nodded, sat up on the bed, looked at the lazy Huo Yuhao opposite him and said, "Yes, is there any problem? At least the perverted old lady fired a few people before, but..."
"But you want to say that these people were fired for violating the rules? Then tell me, who made this rule?"
"The school has explicit rules? Or what? Aren't these all Zhou Yi's rules?"
"The ratio of one quarter of the inner courtyard students is indeed not low, but that's all. If you ask around about the people Zhou Yi has expelled, you'll find out if his expulsion rate is much higher than that of other teachers."
"In fact, only after you combine these two data can you find that her so-called teaching and strictness will not produce better results than other teachers, but worse results."
"In the final analysis, her teaching method is not teaching at all, but teaching."
"In fact, as a teacher, isn't it your real duty to help those lazy and physically weak students correct themselves and become excellent?"
"Zhou Yi's approach really solved the problem directly from the root. After all, if I fire you, you will naturally not hold others back, and the rate of promotion to the inner courtyard will naturally increase, right?"
After hearing this, Wang Dong suddenly realized why he had felt something was wrong after inquiring about Zhou Yi's information before, but he couldn't figure out why.
"But then again, Zhou Yi can't be blamed for this problem. After all, I don't think she has much brains. She's just simple, stupid, and bad."
“You don’t think that Zhou Yi can cover up everything with one hand, do you?” Huo Yuhao sneered and said, “The entire Shrek Academy is just like this.”
"Zhou Yi's style is just a miniature reflection of Shrek Academy. In fact, she is just an insignificant part of Shrek Academy."
"Soul Emperor, it sounds strong, but if you really want to bring it to the mainland, it's just like that, it won't make much of a splash."
"Inner Court disciples, hehe, have you ever thought about how many people who come to Shrek Academy sincerely want to enter the Inner Court? And how many people will actually stay in the Inner Court and become Shrek Academy members?"
"You know, the first necessary condition for joining Shrek Academy is a letter of recommendation from the city lord."
“If someone who can produce a letter of recommendation from the city lord has a background, how could the power behind them allow them to stay in Shrek Academy forever?”
"If there is no background, then let me ask you, wouldn't the city lords of those imperial cities try to win over these civilian geniuses who have good innate soul power and martial spirits?"
"Whether recruiting them as subordinates or letting them join your family to improve the bloodline inheritance, it will be a hundred benefits with no harm."
"In the final analysis, they are all pretty much the same. Besides talent, the second most important condition for those who can finally enter the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy is..."
"What is it?" Wang Dong asked.
"Regarding the closeness to Shrek Academy, at least you should not have any dissenting thoughts and you should agree with Shrek Academy's teaching philosophy from the bottom of your heart."
“And this is exactly what Zhou Yi does.” While talking, Huo Yuhao opened his Eye of Truth. At this moment, outside the dormitory building, a human figure that was so bright that it was dazzling seemed to have some slight emotional fluctuations.
"Why doesn't the school stop Zhou Yi's behavior? Because Zhou Yi did this, even if the students she screened out eventually left Shrek Academy."
"But after years of training by her, these people will also have aspirations for Shrek, and at the same time think that they just don't meet the 'elite' requirements of Shrek Academy. At most, they will just hate Zhou Yi."
"As for the source of students, Shrek, as the number one academy on the continent, doesn't lack so many students. Even if all the students in a grade are expelled, so what? We can just recruit another group of geniuses."
"Geniuses are already outstanding, so what does it matter whether they have a teacher who teaches them wholeheartedly? The path of a soul master is nothing more than training and hunting souls, and in the final analysis it is actually the allocation of resources."
"In any case, Shrek Academy is backed by the Star Dou Great Forest, and as the number one academy on the continent, it has a wealth of resources in this area."
"Add to that the reputation accumulated over ten thousand years. Is it difficult to select seven talented people from a large number of geniuses as the golden signboard?"
“In fact, most of the nobles and disciples from the clans who come to Shrek Academy know what’s going on. They are here to gild themselves, or to make connections and attract potential civilians. This is the real value of Shrek Academy.”
"Only an idiot like you would really think that everyone is here to go to school."
“Otherwise, if the sect’s inherited martial spirit is passed down for thousands or tens of thousands of years, even if the sect’s inherited martial spirit is a pig, it will become a pig king through experience.”
"What kind of help can Shrek Academy provide them? How to configure spirit rings? Or how to allocate educational resources?"
Huo Yuhao sighed as he lay on the bed: “After taking this class, you should have discovered that Zhou Yi’s teaching ability can only be described as a disaster. She is rigid and inflexible, reading from the textbook. If you really follow her to learn, you will only become like her.”
After saying this, Huo Yuhao paused for a moment and did not continue. Wang Dong asked anxiously, "Why don't you tell me what's going on?"
"Of course I'm a real Shrek man, hahaha. Okay, I'll take a nap first, you can play by yourself, you still have classes in the afternoon."
Huo Yuhao didn’t say anything else. He turned over and covered himself with the quilt.
Because he has said enough, let Wang Dong figure out the rest by himself. Some things are only yours if you figure them out yourself. What others tell you is always someone else's. As for whether this idiot can figure it out, that is her own business.
Seeing this scene, Wang Dong felt his teeth itching and glared at the back of Huo Yuhao, the riddle man, fiercely.
Outside the teaching building, basking in the afternoon sun, Moon lay on a recliner with his eyes squinted.
"Interesting boy, but he sees things very clearly. Shrek Academy lacks people who can see things this clearly. After all, in order to keep Shrek Academy going, in addition to enthusiasm, wisdom is also very important."
'But in comparison, this girl from the Haotian Sect is a little silly, but she is also very talented. Let me see what the Haotian Sect wants to do next. "
"By the way, let's see if you, a slippery boy, have the potential to be worthy of investment by Shrek Academy."
The leisurely lunch break passed quickly. During this time, Tang Ya brought Bei Bei to the dormitory to look for Huo Yuhao, but Wang Dong evaded the question by saying that Huo Yuhao was resting to recover from Zhou Yi's punishment in the morning.
"It's impossible for me to work. I won't work in this life." Huo Yuhao certainly didn't plan to set up a stall to sell grilled fish. Isn't this just a waste of his time?
If it doesn't work out, he can sell the fifth-level soul guide White Tiger Dagger in his hand. A third-level soul guide can also sell for a few thousand gold soul coins. Even if a fifth-level soul guide is relatively weak, it is still easy to sell tens of thousands.
Moreover, the White Tiger Dagger itself is of good quality and can be used even by those with lower cultivation base. In this way, wouldn’t the living expenses for the past few years at Shrek Academy be paid for?
As for the claim that this was Huo Yun'er's only relic? Huo Yun'er's soul had not been torn apart. Only when Huo Yuhao's own strength improved could he possibly rescue her.
Moreover, if it cannot be rescued, there is no point in keeping this relic. On the contrary, if this relic can be exchanged for more value in his hands, Huo Yuhao believes that the original owner will agree. After all, he has now inherited the original owner's memory.
Although he was sleeping, Huo Yuhao was not idle at this time. He was now disassembling the structure and working principle of the White Tiger Dagger, a fifth-level soul guide device, in his sea of consciousness.
