In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 13. Having gotten wet in the rain, one then wants to tear up someone else's umbrella.

"I... I admit it, I'm not from a commoner background. Please stop asking, please stop asking."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao completely lost his guard. If he continued to ask, the color of his underwear would probably be exposed to all the teachers and students of the Heavenly Class.

Left with no other choice, the Great God King Huo could only lower his precious head and activate his skill—begging for mercy.

Qin Yi quickly interrupted, "Alright, everyone knows what's going on. Let's give Huo Yuhao some private space."

That's what they say, but Qin Yi despised Huo Yuhao's behavior from beginning to end. Huo Yuhao, haha, just a hypocrite. On one hand, he displayed support and attack methods that exceeded the normal scope of a Soul Master, while on the other hand, he wanted to hide the specific age of his first Soul Ring, as if he wanted to treat everyone as fools.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao, upon joining Shrek Academy, immediately helped Bei Bei cheat and defeat Xu Sanshi. He threw a match during the freshman assessment, collapsing prematurely. After being assigned to a class, he molested a girl, touching her inappropriately. Following the Mingdu explosion, the Sun Moon Empire detained participating teams for investigation, and Huo Yuhao, as the culprit behind the explosion, actually accused the Sun Moon Empire of being domineering, uttering a string of offensive remarks.

Little did he know that if Shrek City were to experience a massive explosion, Huo Yuhao's actions would be infinitely worse than those of the Sun Moon Empire!

There's nothing we can do but say that there are too many Huo fans, which has boosted Huo Yuhao's already tarnished reputation.

Going back to reality.

Qin Yi offered a token reassurance to Huo Yuhao before continuing today's lessons.

"One hundred and twenty years ago, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who had just taken the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master, defied all objections and reformed the original teaching system of Shrek Academy. Well... that is the four levels of classes that everyone sees now: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow."

"What are the benefits of doing this? Take the Yellow Class for example. They are a group of support-type Soul Masters whose abilities are not outstanding. They are not qualified to go to the battlefield. While Shrek Academy teaches them basic theoretical knowledge, it will also assign them to various industries for internships to prepare them for entering society in the future."

"For the Xuan-class students, their future livelihood will most likely involve joining the army or serving as bodyguards for soul master families. If they come from a top-tier soul master family but their talent isn't particularly outstanding, they might be assigned to the Royal Guard. Their educational path will be more militarized."

Before discussing the educational paths of the Heavenly and Earthly classes, I have another question for everyone: Do you know why modern Soul Masters are unwilling to absorb Soul Bones?

Just then, Qian Suli raised her small hand, slowly stood up, and said with a smile, "Teacher Qin, I know that after obtaining the inheritance, when you cultivate to a certain level, your body will have a rejection reaction to the soul bone. If you don't remove the soul bone in time, you will eventually suffer from qi deviation and die from heart attack."

Qin Yi waved his hand and explained to everyone, "Qian Suli's answer is mostly correct, but there are some inaccuracies. For example, let's take the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Clear Sky Sect as an example. Why is the power of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique so different when Clear Sky Hammer Soul Masters of the same Soul Power level perform it?"

"Wang Dong'er, you are the eldest daughter of the Haotian Sect, so you should answer this question."

Wang Dong'er pondered, "It's probably related to the Soul Master's own strength, right? Also, it depends on their proficiency with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, and the difference in gender. Different genders have different physical structures, resulting in significant differences in how they generate power."

Qin Yi nodded and continued, "We can compare a Soul Master's body to a house, and the Soul Bones inside the body can be seen as the load-bearing beams. Whether it's body cultivation, body tempering techniques, or potions and pills, these methods can greatly improve a Soul Master's physique, but they cannot improve the level of the Soul Bones."

"The house itself has been renovated time and time again, and even a second or third floor has been built on top of it, but the load-bearing beams have not been replaced. Over time, the house will face the risk of collapse."

"Now, all sorts of body-forging methods have spread to the upper echelons of the Soul Master world. It's only a matter of time before they spread throughout the entire Soul Master world and even the entire continent. At that time... Soul Bones will become the discarded children of the era, disappearing into the long river of history along with Soul Guidance Devices."

"Someone once asked me why Soul Masters try so hard to improve their physique. Why raise their Soul Power to level 90, but not fight with others, and instead hide in some mountain to enjoy life? Soul Masters live to enjoy life, not to cultivate endlessly."

"I'm saying... an old man from the common people who trains his body every day lives longer than other commoners without soul power. Is it really possible for soul masters to increase their lifespan through body training? We might not be able to see anything now, but what about ten, twenty, fifty, or even a hundred years from now? Who knows if the peak lifespan of a Limit Douluo will double?"

"Students, you are not just the best among your peers, but the best among Soul Masters of the same level. The development of the Soul Master system lies in breaking through limits time and time again. You... are the pioneers of this era. While enjoying top-tier inheritance, in return, you must research a cultivation method suitable for more Soul Masters, a cultivation method that does not require external objects to obtain Soul Rings to break through realms. If you can truly achieve this, you will be remembered in the annals of history, and your names will be passed down through the ages like those gods."

"Don't be like that certain sect, which just sits around living off its wealth, clinging to its six world-class martial arts techniques without developing them, indulging in the pipe dream of becoming a 'Celestial Empire,' and now it's become a relic of the past."

Huo Yuhao: ? ? ? ? ?

If you're going to talk, just talk. Why are you making snide remarks about the Tang Clan?

Just then, Qin Yi took out nine light blue pieces from the system space and placed them on the lectern.

"Classmates, these are soul stones my wife made. They contain some energy that can be directly absorbed by soul masters. Here, one for each of you. Take them and absorb them tonight. After you've finished absorbing them, each of you should write a 200-word reflection. That will be your contribution to the development of the soul master world."

ah??????

A 200-word review?

The nine students stared at each other, their expressions quite interesting. They could have easily shared their feelings in class; there was no need for them to write any "reflections."

This could be considered a kind of perverse sense of humor. In his previous life, Qin Yi was often forced by his homeroom teacher and principal to write book reports and movie reviews when he was in school. He had been caught in the rain before, and he felt he had to let his students experience it too.
