Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King.

These past few days, Ji Juechen has come to challenge him almost every day.

He would fight once, lose once, and then go back to practice and come back the next day, seemingly without any sign of discouragement.

This perseverance, repeated without interruption, moved even Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and spoke seriously.

"I admire you very much too."

"If you have this kind of perseverance, you can definitely become a strong person."

When Huo Yuhao said these words, there was not a trace of falsehood in his words.

He genuinely felt that Ji Juechen was no ordinary person.

Just then, the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"This little guy really has a lot of perseverance."

Tianmeng Bingcan's tone carried a hint of emotion.

"Even though you've defeated me so many times, I still keep coming back to challenge you."

"Most people would have given up long ago."

Huo Yuhao nodded silently in his heart.

Suddenly, Tianmeng Bingcan changed the subject and began to speak.

"I think with his willpower, he should have no problem passing the Shrek Academy entrance exam."

Huo Yuhao finally understood Shrek Academy's admission requirements in the air. It was very simple: one was willpower, and the other was morality. The rest were just bonus points, but these two were essential.

Upon hearing these words, Tianmeng Bingcan was taken aback.

"Yuhao, are you... trying to recruit Ji Juechen to Shrek Academy?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, explaining in his mind.

“I will not actively try to win over Ji Juechen.”

"After all, I received help from Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen when I arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."

"Doing something like undermining someone's career is inappropriate."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then continued.

"Of course, if Ji Juechen himself wants to learn more about our academy, I will not hold back."

"Just like laughing at the world and dreaming of the world."

Tianmeng Bingcan nodded thoughtfully.

Of course, there was one more thing Huo Yuhao didn't mention: he felt that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were clearly more interested in their academy than Ji Juechen. Of course, these two were core figures of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and they certainly wouldn't leave their academy easily.

Even if they are willing, the people behind them certainly are not.

However... whatever choice is made, it has nothing to do with Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, Ji Juechen's voice rang out again, interrupting Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

"Huo Yuhao".

Ji Juechen looked at him, and a rare hint of confusion appeared in his usually cold and stern eyes.

"I'm in my twenties now."

His tone carried a hint of emotion.

"The growth rate of a Soul Master is basically in their forties."

"After the age of forty, the growth of a Soul Master will slow down."

Ji Juechen lowered his head, looking at the longsword in his hand, his voice becoming somewhat deep.

"I don't know... whether I can reach my limit with the sword in my hand within the limited time."

After hearing these words, Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Ji Juechen and spoke firmly.

"Ji Juechen".

"If you are determined, then... you will definitely succeed."

Ji Juechen was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Thank you.

Ji Juechen sheathed his longsword and solemnly clasped his hands in a salute to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said with a smile.

"No need to thank me."

"I also gained a lot from fighting you."

He paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Your sword has strengthened my resolve to remain true to myself."

Ji Juechen nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two looked at each other and saw mutual appreciation in each other's eyes.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the training ground.

Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen turned their heads at the same time.

They saw a figure walking towards them.

It was a man who looked somewhat old, with messy hair and stubble that he hadn't shaved in a while. He was wearing a simple, plain robe with a few oil stains on it.

He looked unkempt, like a researcher who spent most of his time holed up in a workshop.

He walked up to the two of them, glanced at Ji Juechen, and then fixed his gaze on Huo Yuhao.

"You are... Huo Yuhao?"

The man's voice was somewhat hoarse, carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"I am Huo Yuhao."

"May I ask... who are you?"

The man did not answer immediately, but instead looked Huo Yuhao up and down, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, he nodded and began to speak.

"My name is Xuan Ziwen, and I am a teacher at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."

"I heard... you come from Shrek Academy in the sky?"

Huo Yuhao nodded after hearing these words. Because he had recently visited the Xin Kuan Jie Lian Lu × Si Jiong Chen, many people were interested in him, and Huo Yuhao had also gotten to know some of them.

Of course, it's just a casual acquaintance. This teacher from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy probably just wants to have a simple chat.

Huo Yuhao thought he would just deal with it casually, and then he planned to go back to his dormitory to cultivate.

"Yes."

After receiving confirmation from Huo Yuhao, Xuan Ziwen nodded.

"So do you have time now? If you do, I'd like to discuss the technology of soul tools with you."

“I learned a little about you from Xiao Hongchen, and I’m very interested in you, so I’d like to invite you to discuss the matter of soul tools.”

Xuan Ziwen spoke without any attempt to hide his true feelings.

After hearing Xuan Ziwen's words, Huo Yuhao turned to look at Ji Juechen beside him, thinking that Ji Juechen should also know something about this person.

Ji Juechen understood Huo Yuhao's meaning and then began to explain.

"This is Professor Xuan Ziwen from our academy. He is also one of the chief researchers of Mingde Hall and an eighth-level Soul Instructor. He usually stays in the research room and rarely comes out."

Now that we've said that, it's pretty clear.

After hearing Ji Juechen's introduction, Huo Yuhao accepted Xuan Ziwen's invitation.

Chapter 286 I figured out a level 4 soul tool in two days, and you figured out a level 8 one in two days?

Xuan Ziwen led Huo Yuhao through several corridors to a door. Using the nameplate, he quickly opened the door to the laboratory, which was his third laboratory.

"Come in."

Xuan Ziwen walked in without looking back, and Huo Yuhao followed behind. The moment he stepped into the room, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Is this Xuan Ziwen's laboratory?

He glanced around briefly. The laboratory was quite large, filled with various soul tools and metal materials. Against the wall stood several tall metal cabinets, neatly stacked with various parts and tools.

In the very center of the laboratory was a huge experimental table, more than thirty square meters in size. A soft protective mat was laid on the tabletop, and several unfinished soul tools were scattered on it.

However, Huo Yuhao noticed that the experimental table was quite clean, which was in stark contrast to Xuan Ziwen's unkempt appearance.

It seems that although this guy is not very particular about himself, he cares a lot about his workbench.

Xuan Ziwen walked to the lab table, turned around, and stared intently at Huo Yuhao with a hint of urgency in his voice.

"Huo Yuhao, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore."

"Could you show me your soul-guided car?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

He looked at Xuan Ziwen, remained silent for a moment, and then asked.

"Professor Xuan Ziwen, I'd like to ask... what can you offer in exchange for this?"

Huo Yuhao's tone was calm, but his attitude was clear: there is no such thing as a free lunch.

He came to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy with the purpose of exchange and learning. Xiao Hongchen gave him a bunch of blueprints for soul tools before he agreed to let Xiao Hongchen research soul-guided cars.

Xuan Ziwen's demand right away is a bit inappropriate.

After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xuan Ziwen was not angry but nodded instead.

"You make a good point."

He was silent for a moment, then raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Then how about this, I'll trade you my latest research findings."

Xuan Ziwen's tone carried a hint of confidence.

"My latest research achievement: a remote monitoring soul guide."

"I was the only one in the entire Mingde Hall who could have done this."

He said this with a face full of pride.

Upon hearing the words "remote monitoring soul tool," Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly.

Remotely monitor the soul guide?

He had learned a bit about it when he was at Shrek Academy, but it seemed that this kind of thing was a level 5 soul tool there. Huo Yuhao didn't have the corresponding blueprints, but he had also studied some screen-type soul tools that were lower-level substitutes.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't speak, Xuan Ziwen added another sentence.

"My remote monitoring soul tool, although it's level eight, is actually... close to level nine."

"Level eight... almost level nine?"

Huo Yuhao didn't understand what Xuan Ziwen meant by "level eight is close to level nine," but from the soul tool blueprints that Xiao Hongchen took out, Huo Yuhao knew that the soul master level assessment standards in the academy were different from those in Douluo Continent.

However... if I could study this thing, it would be of great help in improving my knowledge of soul tools.

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"make a deal."

Xuan Ziwen smiled and quickly took out a palm-sized metal disc from his pocket and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"This is my remote monitoring soul tool."

"Take it and take a look."
