Chapter 40: Feel the Soul Tool, Accept the Soul Tool

Everyone stared dumbfounded at Huo Yuhao's performance. He had forcefully acted out the vivid image of a rookie loser. To prove his weakness and powerlessness, Huo Yuhao even activated his simulation soul skill, displaying only a single white soul ring.

Of course, no one could tell that it was a million-year soul ring.

The entire class of students in their seats looked at me, and I looked at you. If they didn't know that the guy on the stage was acting, they would have almost been so flattered as to forget their own worth.

"Classmate Huo, do you think we believe you?" Chang Cheng'an showed a gentlemanly yet polite smile. When Huo Yuhao had released his spiritual pressure earlier, he had also been among the affected.

Huo Yuhao must have used some kind of trick to make everyone think he only had a ten-year soul ring.

After his performance, Huo Yuhao greeted everyone as he walked back to his seat. Mu Jin was also very speechless about this. Which elite here didn't want to make a stunning debut, eager to show their best side?

But this Huo Yuhao had to do the exact opposite, presenting himself in the worst possible way. The key was that everyone knew he was not simple, yet no one could see through his true depths.

Mysterious! This was the heartfelt thought of everyone present. And Huo Yuhao had almost made it clear that he was the type of character who loved to act like a pig to eat a tiger.

Mu Jin had not stipulated that the self-introduction had to be truthful, and Huo Yuhao was happy to hide his strength.

"Alright, then the self-introductions will end here. Next..." Just as Mu Jin was about to end the self-introduction process, a figure rushed in from the classroom door like a bolt of lightning.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

It was a slender youth, just over 1.7 meters tall. His pair of big, silly-looking eyes were exceptionally bright.

Huo Yuhao looked at the newcomer, his brow furrowed tightly. Then, as if discovering something, he smiled silently.

"New student, Class Nine, Xie Huanyue, serial number one hundred and one," the youth reported loudly to Mu Jin.

Xie Huanyue?

This was a name beloved by the new students. It was precisely because he had wrecked the dormitory building that the academy had reluctantly hired numerous hands to clean it, and their year of new students had received a blessing in disguise, getting to live in a brand-new dormitory.

"Introduce yourself," Mu Jin remembered this guy who had been a big fatty two days ago, a friend of Huo Yuhao. Therefore, she did not dwell on the issue of his tardiness.

"Uh, hello everyone, I'm Xie Huanyue, the man who will become the king of the new students," Xie Huanyue said with a grin, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "My martial soul is the Sun God Ape, a level forty power-attack type Battle Soul Ancestor!"

The entire classroom fell into a dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

At the side, Mu Jin couldn't help but tremble the pen in her hand, poking a hole in the register with a "huala" sound. The other new students in their seats had their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.

Level forty? Are you kidding me?

Yes, after being in a coma for two days, Xie Huanyue had finally awakened his Sun God Ape martial soul. His soul power had also soared, directly reaching the major milestone of level forty. He only needed to hunt a suitable soul beast to become a true Soul Ancestor expert.

What was the concept of a twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor? It meant that he already met the graduation requirements of the outer court the moment he entered Shrek.

This is a real monster, right? Everyone looked at Xie Huanyue with deep apprehension. With such talent, it could be said that he was guaranteed to enter the inner court in the future.

And the facts were just so. After the academy's higher-ups took him away, they discovered that his martial soul had undergone a second awakening into the unknown Sun God Ape, and his soul power had broken through the level forty mark. They immediately gave up the idea of making him compensate for the academy's cleaning losses and gave him a guaranteed spot in the inner court.

With this kind of talent, as long as he was properly cultivated, he could reach the Titled Douluo level around the age of twenty.

Xie Huanyue scanned the classroom and finally found Huo Yuhao at the very back. The latter smiled and nodded at him, patting the seat next to Nanmen Yun'er to signal him over.

This scene was also seen by those with discerning eyes, making them even more wary of Huo Yuhao. Even a level forty prodigy knows him. This Huo Yuhao's identity and strength are definitely not simple.

"Yuhao," Xie Huanyue came to the seat and sat down directly, smiling sincerely at Huo Yuhao. "Thank you."

Although he didn't know what means Huo Yuhao had used to awaken his Sun God Ape bloodline, at the moment his life was in peril, it was clearly Huo Yuhao who had stimulated his body's will to survive, allowing him to come back to life from a near-death state.

To him, this was undoubtedly a life-saving grace!

Therefore, Xie Huanyue was grateful to Huo Yuhao from the bottom of his heart. And what Huo Yuhao wanted was this fatty's sincere friendship. In a place like Shrek, besides having outstanding personal strength, one also needed a strong team base to deal with many matters.

At this time, Mu Jin's class was about to begin.

"All new students, follow me to the training grounds. Today, I will use a practical method to give you your first lesson," after speaking, Mu Jin walked out of the classroom.

Although they didn't know what this approachable teacher wanted to do, influenced by her affinity, all the students in the class followed her out of the classroom one after another.

Sure enough, upon arriving at the training grounds, Huo Yuhao saw from a distance a class running in circles together. Running at the very front of the large group was a youth with powder-blue hair. It was none other than the Wang Dong he had met yesterday.

It had to be said, although Wang Dong, following the original plot, only had soul power of level twenty-something, due to the influence of her three martial souls, both her physical fitness and the depth of her soul power far surpassed other peers. Even Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, whose soul power was currently higher than hers, would not necessarily be her opponent in a one-on-one situation.

Huo Yuhao only glanced from a distance before retracting his gaze. He wasn't even willing to do too much spiritual probing on Wang Dong. No one knew how many tricks the gods of the Douluo plane had up their sleeves. He couldn't expose himself to the eyes of the gods too early.

"Students of Class Nine, divide into two camps. On one side are the soul masters with combat abilities like power-attack, agility-attack, and defense types. On the other side are the soul masters who lack combat abilities, like control and auxiliary types. I'll give you one minute to get into position," Mu Jin glanced at the old woman commanding her class to run in circles in the distance, couldn't help but pout, and then said to the new students in front of her.

Most of the new students who could pass the entrance examination were of the power-attack and agility-attack types, possessing considerable combat ability. As for the auxiliary and food-type soul masters, there were only a few. Even with the addition of the semi-combat type control soul masters, there were only about twenty people.

Huo Yuhao naturally stood in this group of twenty-something people, with Ning Tian standing shoulder to shoulder with him, hanging at the very back of the group.

"All auxiliary, food, and control-type new students, come over here to my side," Mu Jin called out to the group of twenty-something people, and then, under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, she took out a large stack of shoes from her storage soul tool.

To be precise, they were level-two soul tools: Propulsion Shoes that accelerated by jetting.

"We will only run five laps. These students who are not good at combat will wear these shoes. Use your own soul power to familiarize yourselves with them. In ten minutes, everyone will run five laps at the fastest speed. You can use your soul power, but you are not allowed to activate your martial souls, and you are certainly not allowed to fight dirty. At that time, I will see your results."

Mu Jin casually pulled over an auxiliary-type girl, had her put on the Propulsion Shoes, and explained the use of this soul tool in detail in front of the twenty-odd people.

On the other side, the vast majority of combat-type soul masters were still disdainful of soul tools. They didn't think that those non-combat personnel could compete with their physically formidable battle soul masters in speed after putting on soul tools. This was especially true for the agility-attack type soul masters.

The smart new students immediately understood Mu Jin's idea. The latter wanted them to accept soul tools. Compared to the Sun Moon Empire, which was brought by the continental collision, the three great empires of the original Douluo Continent were still in the stage of rejecting soul tools. Even though soul tools provided them with great convenience in their daily lives, the pride they felt for their martial souls from the bottom of their hearts still made them look down on soul tool masters.

Only after truly using and feeling soul tools would they understand soul tools, accept soul tools, and research and develop soul tools.

Huo Yuhao also put on a pair of Propulsion Shoes. Besides his storage soul tool, this was the first time he had used a soul tool himself. Following Mu Jin's instructions, he channeled his soul power, which instantly became the fuel for these shoes. A cluster of flames about a foot long shot out from the soles of his feet, pushing him off the ground.

Although he wasn't very high off the ground, the playability was high. Just like Iron Man! Huo Yuhao adjusted his balance in mid-air and began to dash around stylishly. Although the other non-combat new students didn't have much combat power, their soul power was still there. As long as they had enough soul power plus the soul tools, they thought they could at least compete with those combat-type talents in terms of speed.

"I have to admit, you humans have extremely powerful creativity," the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice timely sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind. As a soul beast, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had to admire the manual dexterity of humans.

"Indeed, a good item. Much stronger than those Tang Sect hidden weapons," Bibi Dong, feeling the exquisite internal structure of the shoes through their soul link, couldn't help but praise as well.

To think that a mere level-two soul tool would receive the approval of a million-year soul beast and a god. If the Propulsion Shoes could speak, they would surely be weeping, shouting that this life was not lived in vain.
