Chapter 72 Learning Soul Tools
"Huo Yuhao, would you mind telling me what your martial soul is?" Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Fan Yu immediately became excited.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong'er, and seeing that she didn't react much, he then revealed, "My martial soul is the Spirit Eye."
"Spirit Eye? Eyes? Original Martial Soul?" Fan Yu's eyes lit up.
A spirit-attribute martial soul—this is a better condition than he originally imagined.
Fan Yu placed a hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, frowned, and asked, "What level is your innate soul power?"
"Level 1," Huo Yuhao answered honestly.
"Level 1?" Not only Fan Yu, but even Wang Yan was somewhat surprised.
No wonder Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring was only a "ten-year spirit ring".
But how could the spirit of such an important part as the eyes only awaken one level of innate spirit power?
Wang Yan still couldn't figure it out.
"With innate soul power at level one, how did you get into Shrek Academy?" Fan Yu asked.
"I am a special recruit from the Tang Clan this year."
"A special admission student? No wonder." Fan Yu nodded, then asked, "But I see traces of bone marrow cleansing in your body, and you've taken something like the Mystic Water Pill?"
"That's right, the eldest sister gave me the Xuan Shui Pill to improve my aptitude, which is why I was able to gain a foothold in the academy." Huo Yuhao's tone was full of gratitude, and Fan Yu and Wang Yan couldn't help but glance at Wang Dong'er upon hearing this.
After pondering for a moment, Fan Yu shook his head and said to Wang Yan, "Although the Xuan Shui Pill can improve his aptitude, Huo Yuhao is still far from meeting my requirements. I think he'll be lucky to be an ordinary Soul Master."
Huo Yuhao quietly clenched his fist.
Could it be that his talent as a Soul Master is really that poor?
"Alright, wait here for a moment. I'll arrange for a teacher to teach you about soul tools. Cai Tou, go and invite Teacher Zou Mengyao over, and also ask her to bring three keys." Fan Yu instructed He Cai Tou.
"Although Teacher Zou is only an intermediate-level teacher, his teaching quality is among the best in our Soul Guidance Department. He has always been responsible for students in all grades of the Martial Soul Department who are also studying Soul Guidance. If you have any questions about learning Soul Guidance, you can ask Teacher Zou directly."
After saying that, Fan Yu turned and left.
"In that case, I'll be leaving now," Wang Yan said. "But you must remember that cultivating the Soul Guidance System should not affect your cultivation of the Martial Soul System itself, and you can only study it after school every day."
"If you want to fully join the Soul Guidance Department, you must first return the core disciple badge of the Martial Soul Department to me. You will no longer enjoy the benefits of a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department."
"However, I think it's a bit of a waste for you to join the Soul Guidance Department with your talents." Wang Yan shook his head. "I'll stop here. If you feel that studying two departments at the same time is too tiring, then give up on the Soul Guidance Department."
After Wang Yan left the Soul Guidance Department, He Caitou also brought over a female teacher who looked to be in her thirties.
"Hello, my name is Zou Mengyao. You can just call me Teacher Zou from now on." Zou Mengyao looked at the core disciple badges on Wang Dong'er and the other two's chests and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the three core disciples of the Martial Soul Department would also want to study the Soul Guidance Department.
The last time was when a student named Beibei came to study soul tools as a supplementary course.
Then, Zou Mengyao produced three keys and handed them to the three people. "These are the keys to the Soul Guidance System's Twelfth Experimental Zone, which is the experimental zone you are currently in. You can enter using these keys in the future."
"If you wish to cease your concurrent training in the Soul Guidance Department, you must return the key. Remember, do not lose or discard it."
"Alright, Teacher Fanyu has already explained some basic knowledge about soul tools to you. Now I'll take you to see the structure of soul tools."
As she spoke, Zou Mengyao led the three of them to an area separated by a metal plate.
Here, there is a long, box-shaped remote soul tool, the same kind that Fan Yu demonstrated earlier.
"This kind of soul tool is called a hidden weapon," Zou Mengyao explained as she disassembled it.
"The main body of a soul tool is generally divided into three parts: the outer shell, the inner shell, and the core."
"The outer shell is the outermost part of the soul tool. We usually choose to make it with a metal that is hard and has high temperature resistance."
After showing the disassembled outer shell, Zou Mengyao picked up the inner shell and let the three of them touch it.
"What you're touching now is the inner shell of the soul tool."
"Just like the outer shell requires certain materials, the inner shell has even more specific requirements, and it must be made of conductive metal."
"The so-called conductive metals refer to special metals like crystal silver that can amplify and conduct soul power."
"With the inner shell made of conductive metal, we can achieve the same effect by consuming less soul power when using soul tools. This is why soul masters generally have stronger sustained combat ability than soul masters of the same level."
"Finally, there's the core component, which uses the most precious and special materials."
Zou Mengyao's explanations and teaching have a kind of meticulousness that is not typical of Shrek Academy.
Wang Dong'er felt that this was probably because the Martial Soul system had been stuck in its ways and living off its past achievements for a full ten thousand years, clinging to outdated ideas and even now having people like Zhou Yi who were pushing things backward.
Essentially, the Martial Soul system is just living off Yu Xiaogang's legacy, which is mostly nonsense.
But the Soul Guidance System is different.
As an "industry" that was forced to emerge due to being defeated by the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was built entirely from scratch, with all its teaching relying on the advanced, scientific, and systematic theories of the Sun Moon Empire.
In this comparison, the differences in teaching styles become quite obvious.
After explaining the core components, Zou Mengyao reassembled the soul tool she had just disassembled and said, "Teacher Fanyu should have already told you about the levels of soul masters."
"You just saw the core magic array engraved on the core component."
"The key to determining the level of a Soul Master lies in this core magic array. If you can inscribe a core magic array of a certain level and your own level can keep up, then you are a Soul Master of that level."
"Whether you minor in Soul Guidance or major in Soul Guidance, your initial learning will only focus on one thing: building a foundation."
"Teacher Zou," Wang Dong'er said after Zou Mengyao finished speaking, "Only Huo Yuhao needs to learn how to make soul tools."
"Xiao Xiao and I are just here to learn how to use various soul tools and to learn some basic knowledge."
Upon hearing Wang Dong'er's words, Zou Mengyao was neither angry nor confused; instead, she showed an approving expression.
"Good, it seems you all have clear goals. However, I still suggest you take a look at the basic tutorials on making soul tools first. Only by truly participating in practice will you have a deeper understanding of how to use soul tools."
