Fan Yu never would have thought.
That Huo Yuhao possessed such talent in soul tools, and seemed even more monstrous in martial souls?
A sense of urgency rose in his heart.
"I'll go find Dean Xian right now! Skipping directly to the inner court might not be possible, but we should at least give him the corresponding treatment first!"
"Can't let such a fantastic genius seedling run off!"
He flew off in a frantic rush.
–He even activated his flight soul tool; he was truly anxious.
He Caitou stopped scratching his head, picked up the core module stamped by Huo Yuhao, and examined it for a moment.
Silently, he picked up his carving knife and continued his arduous practice.
Since he couldn't match the talent, he would just put in more time.
...
[Altered the fate of Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, and the Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department. +25,000 Fortune Points!]
Huo Yuhao, who was practicing the Psychic Master's Secret Foundation 312 Forms by the lake, slowly formed a question mark above his head?
What was this about so many Fortune Points?
Did Brother Lan forget to deduct the "handling fee"?
But this is way too much!
"Have you still not figured out your own identity?" Zhuge Lan asked: "You are the Child of Fortune destined to pioneer the great era of soul tools. Shouldn't this amount of Fortune Points be expected?"
Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes, then blinked again.
The powerful memory of the Psychic Master made him search his memory three times.
Only then did he confirm: "Brother Lan, you never told me about this."
"Eh? I didn't say it?"
"No. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Tianmeng and Teacher."
Zhuge Lan looked towards the Sky Dream Iceworm and Electrolux. Both shook their heads.
The Sky Dream Iceworm even wore a look of watching a show, as if to say, let's see how you explain yourself this time?
But Zhuge Lan indicated, did he even need to explain?
"Hey! If I don't say it, can't you ask?"
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Incredible!
He also knew Brother Lan was joking and continued focusing on practicing the Psychic Master's Secret Foundation 312 Forms.
___
Until sunset.
Yan Shaozhe's figure appeared there. Watching the flying flying daggers of Ultimate Ice, his eyes couldn't help but grow somewhat solemn.
This kind of long-range attack method, combined with Ultimate Ice, was simply a BUG-level existence.
It wasn't just invincible against peers of the same level; it rendered "numbers ineffective."
Before this psychic mental strength was exhausted, it would mow down any number of opponents.
But then he smiled happily again.
A genius who was both talented and hardworking now belonged to their Shrek!
Moreover, Little Yuhao was still young and could participate in the next two Soul Master Competitions, basically equating to locking in the championship early.
Perfect!
Just as he was about to release his aura to signal Huo Yuhao to stop.
He noticed Huo Yuhao dispersed the Ultimate Ice first and looked towards Yan Shaozhe.
"Eldest Senior Brother, looking for me at this time, is something the matter?"
"The teacher asked me to select a group of spirit attribute soul masters. Do you want to go take a look?" Yan Shaozhe asked.
Huo Yuhao immediately stood up; this was an important matter.
"Sure, let's go."
"Alright."
The two took off, heading towards the Soul Tool Department's outer court.
Those sent to learn the Spirit Soul Equal Contract were all of a utilitarian nature; they certainly wouldn't be willing to part with those with real talent.
In a classroom, Huo Yuhao saw close to a hundred people.
With a sweep of his psychic mental power, he discovered many familiar faces.
Most were those who hadn't performed excellently in the freshman exam.
There were also a few with good talent, like Cui Yajie – Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's teammate.
Cui Yajie currently had her head lowered, inwardly exclaiming "I'm doomed!"
Because Huo Yuhao's fame had skyrocketed, she had suffered some collateral backlash during this time, being ostracized everywhere.
Hearing the academy's call for spirit attribute soul masters, she signed up.
She also never expected that this project seemed to be headed by Huo Yuhao?
Please don't give me a hard time!
Huo Yuhao noticed Cui Yajie's slight movements but didn't pay it much mind.
His hatred was directed at Dai Huabin's family. He didn't even extend it to Zhu Lu, let alone other unrelated people.
However...
"Everyone, I need to say some unpleasant things upfront."
Huo Yuhao announced loudly–
"What you are about to learn next is the secret, non-transmissible knowledge of the Holy Flame Sect's Spirit Pagoda. Once you join, the only way out is death; there is no quitting."
"Even if you fail to learn what will be taught later, you must still work as helpers within the Spirit Pagoda and cannot regain your freedom."
"Those who do learn it will be required to preside over certain ceremonies frequently, and your cultivation progress will be very difficult to advance."
"Those who wish to leave now can stand up and go."
Hearing that they had to "sell themselves," many present hesitated quite a bit.
Immediately, over a dozen people stood up, cupped their hands towards Yan Shaozhe in apology, and left.
Yan Shaozhe didn't show much reaction to this, just silently noted it in his heart.
If they didn't even have this level of resolve, they absolutely could not be heavily relied upon in the Martial Soul branch, and the inner court was out of the question.
Hmm...
It definitely wasn't because they rejected his junior brother!
After waiting three minutes.
A few more left one after another, leaving 73 people.
Confirming that everyone had made their decision.
Huo Yuhao suddenly smiled–
"Now that the disadvantages are covered, let's talk about the benefits."
"While cultivation progress will be hampered, other benefits and treatment will naturally be the best available."
"The most basic income will be no less than ten thousand gold soul coins per person per month. Any shortfall will be covered by my Holy Flame Sect!"
"There are also benefits like descendants being eligible to enroll in all cooperating academies, third-generation direct relatives having priority in selecting spirit souls, Spirit Pagoda points being exchangeable for various techniques and martial arts, hiring Holy Flame Sect's elders for one-on-one tutoring, employing Title Douluo to carry out tasks, and so on."
"Truly, one person joins, the whole family benefits!"
Yan Shaozhe cooperatively stepped forward.
"I, on behalf of Shrek, promise that regardless of your future performance, your direct descendants will be able to enroll in Shrek's outer court for at least one year of study."
"If any have innate soul power of level 7, I guarantee they will be trained as inner court disciples."
"Those with innate soul power of level 8 will be directly recruited into the inner court."
"Those with innate soul power of level 9 can choose a Title Douluo to become their master."
"Those with innate soul power of level 10 will be taken as a disciple by the current Sea God's Pavilion Master."
Good heavens!
Over ninety-nine percent of the people here had no connection to the inner court.
Who would have thought they could still get their descendants in, or even reach the pinnacle in one step, through this method?
Coupled with the monthly salary of ten thousand gold soul coins, access to the Holy Flame Sect, and many other benefits.
On the spot, seventy percent of the people were eagerly itching to start working!
Huo Yuhao also struck while the iron was hot.
"Eldest Senior Brother, please seal off the classroom."
"I will teach them here tonight and preliminarily screen out those qualified to be Spirit Transmission Masters."
Yan Shaozhe acknowledged and voluntarily exited the classroom.
The next moment, mighty soul power enveloped the entire building and expelled some adventurous "wild couples."
Preparations complete.
Huo Yuhao activated Spiritual Detection Sharing, linking everyone present.
He directly demonstrated and taught the Spirit Soul Equal Contract within the spiritual world.
Preventing any external theft of the knowledge from the root.
The night passed quickly.
[Altered the fate of Cui Yajie, Lu Mingfei, Lin Qiye, Cao Yuan... +1,531 Fortune Points!]
Huo Yuhao was also surprised to find that seven people had actually grasped the basics of the Spirit Soul Equal Contract in just one night.
Although they were still far from being able to perform it independently, ninety-nine percent of them would be able to learn it.
These would be the continent's first batch of Spirit Transmission Masters.
