Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 72: Learning Soul Guidance
"Huo Yuhao, could you please tell me what your martial soul is?" Fan Yu immediately became excited when he heard Wang Yan's words.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Donger, and seeing she had no reaction, he then told her, "My martial soul is the Spirit Eye."

"Spiritual eyes? Eyes? The original martial soul?" Fan Yu's eyes lit up.

A spirit-based martial soul was a better condition than he had originally imagined.

Fan Yu placed a hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, frowned, and asked, "What's the level of your innate soul power?"

"Level one." Huo Yuhao answered honestly.

"Level one?" Not only Fan Yu, but even Wang Yan was a little surprised.

No wonder Huo Yuhao’s first spirit ring is only a “ten-year spirit ring”.

But how could the martial soul of such an important part as the eyes be able to only awaken the first level of innate soul 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 this year's special recruit of the Tang Sect."

"Specially recruited? No wonder." Fan Yu nodded and asked, "But I see traces of tendon cleansing and marrow removal in your body. Have you taken Xuanshui Dan or something like that?"

"That's right, the big sister gave me the Xuanshui Pill to improve my qualifications, which allowed me to gain a foothold in the academy." Huo Yuhao's tone was full of gratitude. Fan Yu and Wang Yan couldn't help but look at Wang Dong'er when they heard it.

After pondering for a moment, Fan Yu shook his head and said to Wang Yan, "Although the Xuanshui Pill has improved his aptitude, Huo Yuhao is still far from what I want. I think being an ordinary soul mentor is good enough for him."

Huo Yuhao quietly clenched his fists.

Could it be that his talent as a soul guide is so poor?

"Okay, you guys wait here for a while, I will arrange a teacher to teach you how to use soul guides. Caitou, go and ask Teacher Zou Mengyao to come over, and ask Teacher Zou to bring three keys." Fan Yu instructed Caitou.

"Although Mr. Zou is only an intermediate teacher, his teaching quality is one of the best in our Soul Guidance Department. He has always been in charge of students of all grades in the Martial Soul Department who are also studying in the Soul Guidance Department. If you have any questions about learning soul guides, you can directly ask Mr. Zou."

After saying that, Fan Yu turned around and left.

"In that case, I'll be leaving now," Wang Yan said. "But you all must remember that practicing the Soul Guidance System concurrently cannot affect the practice of the Martial Soul System itself, and you can only study after school every day."

"If you want to fully join the Soul Guidance Department, you must first return the Martial Soul Department's core disciple badge to me. You will no longer enjoy the treatment of the Martial Soul Department's core disciples."

"However, I think that with your talents, joining the Soul Guidance Department is a bit of a waste." Wang Yan shook his head. "That's all I have to say. If you feel that practicing two departments at the same time is too tiring, then give up the Soul Guidance Department."

When Wang Yan left the Soul Guidance Department, He Caitou also came over with 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 the chests of Wang Donger and the other two, and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the three core disciples of the Martial Soul Department would also want to practice the Soul Guidance Department.

The last time, it was a student named Beibei who came to study soul guide equipment.

Then, Zou Mengyao presented three keys, which she handed to each of the three people. "This is the key to the Soul Guidance Department's No. 12 test area, which is the test area you are currently in. You can enter with this key from now on."

"If you wish to stop concurrently cultivating the Soul Guidance System, you must return the key. Remember not to lose or discard it."

"Okay, Teacher Fan Yu should have told you some basic knowledge about soul guides just now. Now I will take you to learn about the structure of soul guides." As he said that, Zou Mengyao led the three of them to an area separated by metal plates.

Here, there is a long metal box-shaped long-range soul guide device of the same type that Fan Yu had demonstrated before.

"This soul guide is called a sleeve cannon." Zou Mengyao introduced it while taking it apart.

"The manufacturing body of a soul guide is generally divided into three structures: the outer shell, the inner shell, and the core."

"The outer shell is the outermost part of the soul guide. Generally, we choose to use a metal that is hard and has high temperature resistance to make it."

After showing the removed outer shell, Zou Mengyao picked up the inner shell and let the three of them touch it one by one.

"What you are touching now is the inner shell of the soul guide."

"Just like the outer shell has certain material requirements, the inner shell has even more specific requirements and must be made of conductive metal."

"The so-called conductive metal refers to special metals like crystal silver that can amplify and conduct soul power."

"With an inner shell made of conductive metal, we can consume less soul power when using soul guides to achieve the same effect. This is why soul guides' sustained combat capabilities are generally stronger than those of soul masters of the same level."

"Finally, there's the core. The material used for this component is the most precious and special."

Zou Mengyao's explanations and teachings are meticulous in a way that is not typical of Shrek Academy.

Wang Donger felt that this was probably because the Wuhun Department had been complacent and living off its resources, clinging to its old ways for a full ten thousand years, and even now there were people like Zhou Yi who were going backwards.

In essence, the Wuhun system is just eating up Yu Xiaogang's old capital, most of which is nonsense.

But the soul guidance system is different.

As an "industry" that had to emerge due to the attack from the Sun-Moon Empire, the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy was built completely from scratch, and all teaching is based on the advanced, scientific and systematic theories of the Sun-Moon Empire.

In such a comparison, the difference in teaching styles is of course obvious.

After explaining the core components, Zou Mengyao reassembled the soul guide that had just been disassembled and said, "Teacher Fan Yu should have told you about the levels of soul guides."

"You just saw the core magic array engraved on the core component."

"The key to assessing a soul engineer's level lies in this core array. If you can engrave a core array of a certain level and your own level can keep up, then you are a soul engineer of that level."

"Whether you're studying Soul Guidance as a secondary or primary, your initial studies will focus on one thing: laying the foundation."

"Teacher Zou." After Zou Mengyao finished speaking, Wang Dong'er said, "The only one who needs to learn how to make a soul guide is Huo Yuhao."

"Xiao Xiao and I are just here to learn how to use various soul guides and understand some basic knowledge."

After hearing what Wang Dong'er said, Zou Mengyao was not angry or confused, but instead showed an expression of approval.

"Yes, it seems that your goals are very clear. However, I still suggest that you first take a look at the basics of making soul guides. Only by truly participating in the practice will you have a deeper impression of how to use soul guides."
