Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan eventually got up.
Both of them pretended that nothing had happened, creating a harmonious and friendly scene.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't noticed their flushed cheeks, he would have really thought they were all in the mood and could throw parties from now on.
But he was clearly overthinking it; both of them gave Huo Yuhao the cold shoulder.
What was supposed to be a scene with three people turned into a scene where Huo Yuhao felt like an outsider.
However, recalling the steamy scene of the two of them together last night, Huo Yuhao generously forgave their little temper.
Huo Yuhao's only regret was that Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan didn't seem like a good match. It would have been better if Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya were best friends, or Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming were a fiery duo, or Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were an ice and snow pair, or even Ma Xiaotao and Cai Meier—
Snapped!
Huo Yuhao slapped Ma Xiaotao to bring himself back to his senses.
Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, how could you be so greedy?
People must learn to be content!
You have to be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time, unlocking them one by one!
Ma Xiaotao glared at him, but Huo Yuhao remained calm and said, "Sister Xiaotao, Sister Nannan, I'll go first. You two continue your conversation!"
"Sister Xiaotao, you can share some of your experience with Sister Nannan."
"Hey, Sister Tao, stop hitting me! I meant the experience needed to advance to the inner court!" Huo Yuhao said hastily.
After Huo Yuhao left, Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan found themselves in an awkward situation, their previous harmony and friendship gone.
Huo Yuhao walked alone on the street, rubbing his buttocks. He seriously suspected that Ma Xiaotao was taking revenge for last night.
As for Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao believed that they would definitely get along well—didn't you see that the two of them were having a very pleasant conversation just now?
Upon returning to the academy, Huo Yuhao began investigating who the extra person from the previous night was.
As expected, it was indeed Xu Sanshi.
Beibei recruited Xu Sanshi into the Soul Palace overnight last night.
Huo Yuhao didn't know whether to say he was dutiful or passionate.
Therefore, to express his gratitude, Huo Yuhao personally wrote several articles for Bei Bei.
"Model Campus Couple Breaks Up; Tang Ya Claims She No Longer Believes in Love"
Tang Ya's Tears and Bei Bei's Reunion with True Love
The breakup of the model couple on campus was actually because of him/her?
Beibei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yuhao, is this fake news?"
Beibei browsed through the three articles. Except for the first one, which was somewhat substantial, the other two were practically advertisements disguised as news headlines.
The second part is about BeiBei's true love being the Soul Palace. It then introduces the benefits of the Soul Palace, and finally, Tang Ya sheds tears of emotion upon hearing about its establishment, sincerely wishing BeiBei could find true love there. The final line is a declaration of love: "Want to know if you're BeiBei's true love? Then join the Soul Palace!"
The third chapter depicts Tang Ya's help to Huo Yuhao and the poignant friendship between Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. At this point, everyone assumes their breakup is due to Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi, but the narrative shifts. To repay Tang Ya's help, Huo Yuhao decides to establish the Soul Palace to help more people. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, driven by their lofty ideals, also resolutely join the Soul Palace. Tang Ya and Bei Bei dedicate themselves to the Soul Palace, uttering the bold statement, "If the Soul Palace doesn't prosper, I will never fall in love again," before resolutely breaking up.
Beibei felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.
What kind of news is this? Aside from the Soul Palace being real, everything else is fake!
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, "Anyway, nobody knows the truth."
"Brother Beibei, putting the facts aside, just tell me, did these news articles satisfy the students' desire for gossip?"
"The first article let everyone know that you and Xiaoya broke up, so everyone will be curious: why did you, as a model couple, break up?"
"Then, looking further down, we found that what they were curious about was also reported."
"After everyone read it, they got the satisfaction of being a gossip enthusiast, we promoted the Soul Palace, and the campus newspaper was a great success. It was a win-win-win situation!"
"But Yuhao, didn't you write in your plan that news must be truthful?" Beibei countered.
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly, "Of course I wrote the true news. I'm a man of principle!"
"The first part: Xiaoya and I hadn't broken up yet."
"Oh well, it's only a matter of time, just like everyone dies eventually, it's just a matter of sooner or later. This is a predictive news report."
"The second and third articles—" Beibei didn't know how to address these two articles for a moment. The focus shouldn't be on identifying which were false, but rather on identifying which were true.
Huo Yuhao said without changing his expression, "We did indeed establish the Soul Hall, and everyone joined the Soul Hall to fight for its rise. Brother Bei Bei and Sister Xiao Ya will also be separated. All of this is true."
"But aren't all those stories fake?"
"Stories are meant to make people more willing to read dry, boring news. Everyone needs to learn to extract the news from the stories. If they can't, it's not my problem, it's their fault!" Huo Yuhao said, his words both unreasonable and confident.
"Alright!" Bei Bei rubbed her temples, which was a way of acknowledging Huo Yuhao's reasoning.
A few days passed quickly, and the reputation of the Soul Palace had already spread in a small circle, all thanks to the fame of campus celebrities such as Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan.
Many people also requested to join the Soul Hall, and Huo Yuhao accepted all of them, adding them all to the External Department as unofficial staff. Formal members were selected from among these people.
In this way, anyone who requested to join the Soul Hall was recruited by Huo Yuhao, and there was no need to worry about the Soul Hall's manpower expanding.
When Huo Yuhao checked the progress of the solidified mission, he found that the recruitment of one hundred people had been completed, and even the number of people with a very high probability of becoming Title Douluo had increased to seven.
Now, all that's needed is to recruit three more geniuses with the potential to become Title Douluos and one more Title Douluo to complete the mission.
Furthermore, Huo Yuhao had to admit that other people's brains were really useful; he would borrow other people's brainpower every day to learn and digest Electrolux's memories.
Furthermore, his progress in learning soul tools was rapid, and Xianlin'er praised his talent in soul tools more than once.
According to Xian Lin'er's judgment, Huo Yuhao's ability to become a Level 1 Soul Master before the freshman assessment is the fastest record in the history of Douluo Continent.
The weekend arrived quickly, and the Challenger Tournament was about to be held. Huo Yuhao and his friends had already prepared the content for the campus newspaper, and all they needed was the live news of the Challenger Tournament before it could be printed and distributed.
The basic framework and organizational structure of the Soul Hall have been established. All that's needed is for the arena competition to begin and for their propaganda campaign to launch, so that they can quickly recruit members and expand their organization.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao also needs to prepare a way to deal with Yan Shaozhe. Even if the campus newspaper is a powerful tool to attract attention, Yan Shaozhe will still notice the Soul Hall student organization within a week.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 90 Application of Brainpower
In the third laboratory of the Soul Guidance Zone, Xian Lin'er, dressed in a light blue formal gown, stood behind Huo Yuhao with a calm expression, her gaze fixed intently on him.
Huo Yuhao hammered at the silver, the silvery-white metal gradually dimming with each strike. With continued hammering, the metal block regained its dazzling silvery-white luster.
Xian Lin'er breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
Forging is the foundation of a Soul Master's learning. It usually takes a Soul Master half a year to learn the basics of forging, but Huo Yuhao completed this step in just over twenty days.
It's important to know that during those twenty days, Huo Yuhao spent less than an hour each day studying forging. While studying in the Soul Guidance Department, he also took the time to learn other Soul Guidance skills.
After completing the forging of the smelted silver, Huo Yuhao didn't stop for a moment. He then went on to complete the shaping, casting, quenching, and polishing processes.
On the forging table, a hexagonal block of silver the size of a walnut gleamed under the light.
Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled with relief.
This was the first time he had completed forging, shaping, and quenching work.
Since obtaining the [Hive Will], he uses his brainpower to draw upon the brainpower of three or four people every day to study.
This mental ability wasn't simply an addition; it made his learning speed dozens of times faster. This allowed him to master the forging fundamentals, which normally took a Soul Master six months to learn, in just one week.
Xian Lin'er clapped her hands, a rare smile appearing on her usually aloof and elegant face. "Yuhao, congratulations! You have fully mastered the basics of forging. Now you can officially begin your studies as a Soul Master. Your talent is exceptional; in you, I see the academy's hope for producing a Level 9 Soul Master."
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Teacher! I'm able to realize my potential thanks to your wise and powerful guidance. Plus, you're so beautiful, just having you standing next to me gives me a lot of motivation to learn about soul tools."
Xian Lin'er's beautiful eyes flickered, and she laughed and scolded, "You smooth talker! It's all because of your great talent, what does it have to do with whether I'm pretty or not?"
She turned around and said, "That's all for today's lesson. I'll give you a couple of days off. Yan Shaozhe's Challenger Tournament is being held these two days. I know you're not simple, so you have to give those Martial Soul students a good beating."
Seeing that Xian Lin'er was about to leave, Huo Yuhao quickly said, "Teacher, I want to continue inscribing the core formation!"
Just like its name suggests, the core array is the core of a soul tool. It can convert soul power into other forms of energy and has a variety of complex functions such as energy gathering and sensing. It can be said that completing the core array of a soul tool is equivalent to completing the creation of the soul tool.
Xian Lin'er turned around abruptly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Her tone was urgent and cold, tinged with reproach, "I should have told you that forcibly inscribing a magic array that you can't complete will hurt you. You haven't even finished learning the basics of a Soul Master, how can you inscribe a core array?"
Huo Yuhao knew that Xian Lin'er was concerned about him, but he was confident that he could complete the task of inscribing the core formation.
Huo Yuhao said gently, "Teacher, don't worry. You know my first soul skill. With it, I'm fully confident that I can now inscribe a level one core magic array. Besides, my soul power is sufficient, and I don't need to worry about my mental strength. There's no risk in trying it."
A flicker of doubt crossed Xian Lin'er's usually cold phoenix eyes. She had to admit that she had been too hasty earlier; the risk of Huo Yuhao inscribing the core formation was indeed very small. The main reason was that Huo Yuhao had only been learning about soul tools for less than a month; no one could possibly imagine completing the inscription of a first-level soul tool core.
Xian Lin'er said earnestly, "You've only been learning about soul tools for a short time. You have great talent, so there's no need to rush. Even if you can inscribe a level one core array, you won't be able to become a level one soul tool master if you lack basic knowledge."
Seeing the determination in Huo Yuhao's eyes, she finally agreed. She was also very curious whether Huo Yuhao could actually complete the portrayal.
As for the Level 1 Soul Master Badge, Xian Lin'er hesitated for a moment and decided to wait until he actually completed it before making a decision.
Huo Yuhao calmed his mind and focused his energy, then activated his mental detection, beginning to mobilize the mental abilities of the others.
With the ten people in front of him, Huo Yuhao's thoughts and all his memories became clear in an instant. He even recalled some memories from his previous life that he couldn't remember. He also gained insight into some of the necromancy and light magic that he couldn't understand in Elex's memories.
With thirty people around, Huo Yuhao felt as if the entire world had changed, a mysterious and profound feeling lingering in his heart. He didn't know what exactly filled the world—was it elements, or laws? It was like looking at flowers through fog, impossible to see clearly.
If we mobilize the brains of more people, will we be able to see things more clearly?
Huo Yuhao dared not continue. He already had an urge to fall into deep meditation at any moment, and he was afraid that if a few more people were added, he would immediately enter a state of deep meditation.
