"Here, take this ring." After arriving at Sea God Lake, Ma Xiaotao tossed the ring Yan Shaozhe had given her directly to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao quickly caught it. Now he also had a storage Soul Tool, making it much more convenient to store things.
"Senior Sister Xiaotao, what's wrong?"
Just as he put the ring on, Huo Yuhao saw Ma Xiaotao facing away from him, staring at the lake without saying a word.
Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath, then turned around with a swish. A strange blush appeared on her cold and beautiful face. She warned, "You pretend you didn't hear what the teacher said earlier, understand? Otherwise, your Senior Sister will punch you so hard you'll fly away."
Saying this, she even clenched her fist and demonstrated her fist technique to Huo Yuhao.
Looking at her face, which was filled with both shyness and anxiety, Huo Yuhao's mind went blank for a moment, and a decision formed in his heart.
He smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I understand."
"That's good." Ma Xiaotao nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, I'll take you back to the Outer Court."
With Ma Xiaotao's help, Huo Yuhao flew over Sea God Lake again and arrived at a pavilion in the Outer Court.
"I've delivered you. I'll be going now." Ma Xiaotao turned to leave, mainly because today's events were too embarrassing. But suddenly, she seemed to remember something and added, "Yuhao, don't call me Sister Xiaotao anymore. Call me Senior Sister."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded.
"Then I'll be going." Ma Xiaotao smiled and ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair. Her wings spread behind her as she took to the air.
But just then, Huo Yuhao raised his voice and shouted, "Senior Sister, do you like younger guys?"
Ma Xiaotao, who was in the air, came to a standstill.
Huo Yuhao added with a laugh, "Funny coincidence, I like girls older than me."
He quickly ran off before Ma Xiaotao could hit him.
Ma Xiaotao faced away from the shore, suspended in the air, her expression somewhat stunned. By the time she reacted, Huo Yuhao was long gone.
Looking at the empty pavilion, the shock on her pretty face slowly faded, eventually turning into a strange expression.
Her red lips pursed slightly, and her chest heaved a little. She feigned anger, "Daring to flirt with Senior Sister, next time I won't beat... Forget it, if I beat him silly, the teacher will give me trouble."
On the other side, Huo Yuhao was also hurrying towards the classroom.
It was a good thing he'd returned to the Outer Court before saying those words to Ma Xiaotao, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to come back.
Sea God Lake was too wide; swimming back would probably exhaust him.
When he returned to Shrek Academy, it was quiet outside. Huo Yuhao quickly made his way to the Class One classroom.
The door was closed. Huo Yuhao pressed the doorbell beside the wall.
"Come in."
A gentle male voice came from the doorbell. Huo Yuhao was taken aback for a moment before opening the door.
As he entered the classroom, eighty-three pairs of eyes immediately turned to him.
The students were curious, wondering what Senior Sister from the Inner Court had taken Huo Yuhao away for.
Huo Yuhao's gaze immediately met that of a man who looked to be in his early thirties, standing on the podium.
This person had a handsome face, and a gentle smile always played on the corners of his mouth. Coupled with his proper attire, he gave off a refined air.
"You must be Huo Yuhao? Sit down, let's formally begin today's lesson," Wang Yan said with a smile.
Huo Yuhao quickly returned to sit beside Wang Dong.
"Are you alright?" Wang Dong asked in a low voice.
"Everything went smoothly," Huo Yuhao chuckled.
Wang Yan glanced at Huo Yuhao, then turned to write seven characters on the blackboard: three on the left, two in the middle, and two on the right.
They were:
Soul Tool, Soul Beast, Martial Soul.
"Since Huo Yuhao wasn't here earlier, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Wang Yan, you can call me Teacher Wang."
Wang Yan turned to face everyone, smiling as he spoke, "My teaching philosophy is different from many other teachers. Some of the things we'll cover might be broad and challenging, and they might even challenge your current understanding. But I believe that since you've all been able to study at Shrek Academy, you must be the best of your peers. As a teacher, I never doubt my judgment."
Hearing this, the students' expressions visibly relaxed. Although they knew their own abilities, who doesn't enjoy a compliment?
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. Unlike Zhou Yi's initial suppression, Wang Yan's approach was much gentler. He not only explained the topic of his lecture but also praised the students. After just enduring Zhou Yi's harshness, this warmth was quite comforting.
Seeing his goal achieved, Wang Yan didn't waste any time and dove straight into today's lesson. "You've all seen what's written on the blackboard. I want to ask you all, what exactly does a Soul Tool mean? And how will it change us Soul Masters? Who wants to volunteer to tell me?"
Speaking of Soul Tools, almost all the students present showed a look of difficulty. Their rejection of Soul Tools was no joke.
Even those students who were interested in Soul Tools were too embarrassed to stand up and speak, choosing to remain silent.
Wang Yan seemed to have anticipated that no one would volunteer. He looked directly at Huo Yuhao, "Then, let's have Huo Yuhao answer."
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. No wonder Wang Yan had been staring at him. He stood up helplessly and said, "Soul Tools represent the progress of us humans, just like the first Soul Master who obtained a Soul Ring. They will usher in a new era in the future."
"To put it simply, Soul Tools are like the armor and weapons of soldiers from ten thousand years ago, capable of increasing a soldier's combat effectiveness. At the same time, civilian Soul Tools can help people live better lives, a point that I probably don't need to elaborate on, right? Haven't the Soul Tool lamps on the streets of Shrek City benefited the people?"
"As for the changes, I think it will blur the lines between Soul Master types. A Support Soul Master could become an Offensive Soul Master, and an Offensive Soul Master could become a Support Soul Master. A seemingly weak Support Soul Master could pull out a Soul Tool cannon, instantly boosting their combat power and allowing them to fear no opponent."
"To put it plainly, Soul Tools allow all types of Soul Masters to develop the abilities they want, instead of being limited to the situation ten thousand years ago, where offense was only offense and support was only support."
"I want to ask the Support Soul Masters in the class, haven't you ever fantasized about turning the tide of battle and killing enemies everywhere? Instead of being completely protected by others."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the eighteen Support Soul Masters in the class looked at each other awkwardly. They had indeed dreamed of it, of standing up in times of crisis. But those were just fantasies; who would dare to think about it in the real world?
"I'll also ask the Agile Attack Soul Masters in the class: when your opponent is also an Agile Attack Soul Master, and your levels are the same, but your Martial Soul quality is slightly inferior, leading to a weaker speed and power, what would happen if you had a Soul Tool to help you increase your speed and power?"
Hearing this, another group of people's eyes flickered.
Wang Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Huo Yuhao said in a low voice, "The existence of Soul Tools can eliminate some of the quality differences between Martial Souls, though not those with a huge disparity."
"But we need to pay attention: the higher the level of the Soul Tool, the greater the consumption for the Soul Master. Without sufficient Soul Power assistance, even if a Support Soul Master can become an Offensive Soul Master, the duration is limited. This is something to note, otherwise, you'll run out of steam mid-battle and won't have a chance to escape before being defeated."
"Also, when equipping Soul Tools, you must pay attention to whether the Soul Tool matches your abilities. For example, a Soul Master with a generally weak physique using a close-combat Soul Tool to fight is just asking for trouble. Obviously, a ranged attack Soul Tool is more suitable for you."
"Of course, if you have a strong physique, you can use both."
"Teacher Wang, I'm finished."
The author is a fan of older women in the real world, so I especially like to make older women the female lead.
I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, I just like older women, they're the best.
