"Extreme Individual Soldier Plan?"
Huo Yuhao subconsciously repeated Qian Duoduo's words, his mind racing.
Just from the name, he seemed to be able to roughly guess what the plan was about.
"That's right."
Qian Duoduo chuckled.
"As the name suggests, the content of this plan is to maximize the effectiveness of a single soldier, allowing them to make a crucial impact on the entire war situation and determine the outcome of the war with their own strength."
He spoke passionately, but Huo Yuhao didn't show the excitement he expected, instead frowning and asking:
"How is that done? By cultivating an Ultimate Douluo level expert?"
In his understanding, it wasn't that simple to influence the war situation alone.
After all, none of the four major empires on the Douluo Continent lacked Title Douluo. Even the weakest Dou Ling Empire had a double-digit number of Title Douluo. The Star Luo Empire's national strength was even greater than the combined strength of the Heaven Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, and as for the Sun Moon Empire, there was no need to mention it.
An ordinary person involved in a war of this level would be directly blasted to dust by the aftermath of the battle before they could even take any action. To single-handedly influence the war situation, in Huo Yuhao's opinion, one would need at least Ultimate Douluo level strength.
Qian Duoduo shook his head and said:
"Not quite, not quite. We cultivate a Title Douluo level expert, but we teach them a series of war-related knowledge, including infiltration, disguise, reconnaissance, and so on, allowing them to operate in the shadows, thereby achieving the same level of influence as an Ultimate Douluo."
At this point, Fan Yu interjected:
"Yuhao, to be honest, this plan was originally prepared for Caitou, but from our perspective now, you also have the qualifications to participate."
Qian Duoduo nodded and added:
"Just as Fan Yu said, we originally planned to observe you for a while longer, but your performance truly exceeded our expectations, so we decided to come and lay it all out for you in advance. What do you think?"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Dean Qian, if I successfully become an Extreme Individual Soldier trained by the academy, can I bring this knowledge back to the Star Luo Empire?"
"Of course you can."
Qian Duoduo smiled happily.
He knew that Huo Yuhao asking this question meant the kid was already tempted.
He said with a smile:
"We don't train Extreme Individual Soldiers just for them to stay in the academy and do nothing after the plan succeeds. We genuinely want them to contribute to the war situation. If you are truly capable of learning all the knowledge we teach you, then of course you can bring this knowledge back to the Star Luo Empire."
"Then I am willing."
Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated and said firmly.
He finally understood what this so-called Extreme Individual Soldier Plan was.
Simply put, it was to train an expert into a war-specialized individual, thereby enhancing their dominance on the battlefield.
Considering that even the Food System's He Caitou was capable of becoming a candidate for the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan, this plan, at least in terms of personnel requirements, didn't necessarily require rare geniuses.
After all, after spending this past month with He Caitou, Huo Yuhao had also come to realize that with He Caitou's talent, breaking through to Title Douluo was possible in the future, but it would be very, very difficult to advance to Super Douluo.
And genius soul masters with the potential to break through to Title Douluo cultivation were actually not that scarce in the Star Luo Empire; there would be dozens of them over a hundred years.
Even if the Star Luo Empire only trained one-tenth of them into the Extreme Individual Soldiers mentioned by Qian Duoduo, the impact on the war would be enormous.
Furthermore, even if this plan couldn't be widely promoted, Huo Yuhao had no reason to refuse a plan that clearly offered countless resources.
His soul power cultivation talent wasn't considered high. Even after five years of putting in his utmost effort, his soul power level was still a full ten ranks behind Dai Huabin of the same age.
His talent was only considered average in the Soul Master Department, and only in the Soul Tool Department could he receive this level of attention. Any support in this area was something he desperately desired now.
Seeing Huo Yuhao agree, Qian Duoduo's face immediately lit up with joy. After exchanging a glance with Fan Yu, he patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder vigorously.
"Hahaha, good kid, I like your straightforward personality! Alright, I'll go back now and propose to the Sea God Pavilion with Lin'er, preparing to start the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan at any time. As for you, you must also hurry up and study soul tool knowledge. Once you have the knowledge equivalent to a Rank 4 Soul Engineer, we will immediately begin the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan!"
Saying that, he took out a badge from his pocket and threw it to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao quickly caught it. Looking closely, it was a red badge with the Shrek image printed on it.
Qian Duoduo explained:
"This badge is a special badge made by the academy, awarded to the predetermined Shrek Seven Monsters. With this badge, you can enjoy treatment no less than that of inner court disciples in advance at the academy. After this, whatever resources you need, you can tell Fan Yu, and we can provide them as long as they're not too outrageous."
"Wait, predetermined Shrek Seven Monsters?"
Huo Yuhao felt like he had just heard something that couldn't be ignored.
Fan Yu nodded and said:
"Yes, you didn't hear wrong. This situation is actually quite rare. When there are particularly outstanding students among the core disciples of the outer court, our academy will designate them as the predetermined Shrek Seven Monsters. None of the previous generation of Shrek Seven Monsters were predetermined. In your generation, only Bei Bei from fourth year and Xu Sanshi from fifth year have been temporarily designated as members of the next Seven Monsters. I'll arrange for you to meet tomorrow."
"...Is there a price?"
Having grown up in the Duke White Tiger's mansion, Huo Yuhao knew deeply that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and he was full of vigilance towards such generous gifts.
However, Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu exchanged glances, and then both smiled.
"Hmm, let me think... The price for Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi is that they must pass the inner court entrance exam and serve in the Shrek Disciplinary Committee for five years. As for you, you must go all out to complete the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan and study in the inner court for three years. If you fail, all your preferential treatment will be immediately canceled. How about that?"
Wasn't this equivalent to no price at all?
Huo Yuhao tried his best to suppress the urge to complain.
One must know that both the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan and entering the inner court were treatments that ordinary people couldn't even dream of.
And if he couldn't do it, they would only cancel the preferential treatment and not punish him?
Then what reason did he have not to agree!
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to the two people in front of him.
"Thank you both. Please guide me more in the future."
