Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 40 Experiencing and Accepting the Soul Guidance Device

Everyone stared in disbelief at Huo Yuhao's performance. He forcefully portrayed a vivid and incompetent rookie. To prove his weakness, Huo Yuhao even activated a simulated soul skill, displaying only a white soul ring.

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

The students in the class looked at each other, and if they didn't know that the guy on stage was acting, they would have almost forgotten their own worth by flattering him.

"Student Huo, do you think we believe you?" Cheng Chang'an gave a gentlemanly and polite smile. He was also among those who had been present when Huo Yuhao exerted his mental pressure earlier.

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

After his performance, Huo Yuhao greeted everyone as he walked back to his seat, leaving Mu Jin speechless. Which of the elites present didn't want to make a splash and showcase their best selves?

Huo Yuhao, however, did the opposite, doing whatever was worst possible. The key was that everyone knew he was not simple, yet no one could see through his true nature.

Mysterious! This was the thought in everyone's mind, and Huo Yuhao had made it almost obvious that he was a character who liked to play dumb to fool others.

Mu Jin didn't stipulate that one had to tell the truth when introducing oneself, and Huo Yuhao was happy to hide his strength.

"Okay, that concludes the self-introductions. Now..." Just as Mu Jin was about to finish her self-introduction, a figure rushed in through the classroom door like lightning.

"Sorry I'm late!"

He was a thin boy, just over 1.7 meters tall, with a pair of bright, silly-looking eyes.

Huo Yuhao frowned as he looked at the newcomer, then smiled silently as if he had discovered something.

"Class 9, freshmen, Xie Huanyue, number 101," the boy reported loudly to Mu Jin.

Evil Phantom Moon?

This is a name beloved by the freshmen. Because he made a mess of the dormitory building, the college reluctantly hired a lot of people to clean it up. As a result, the freshmen were able to move into a brand-new dormitory.

"Please introduce yourself." Mu Jin remembered that this guy was a big fat man just two days ago, and was Huo Yuhao's friend, so she didn't dwell on Xie Huanyue's lateness.

"Uh, hello everyone, I'm Xie Huanyue, the man destined to become the new king." Xie Huanyue grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "My martial soul is the Sun God Ape, a level 40 power-attack type battle soul master!"

The entire classroom fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.

Mu Jin, standing to the side, couldn't help but shake her pen, and with a swish, she poked a hole in the register in her hand. The other freshmen present gaped so wide that they could fit an egg in their mouths.

Level 40? Are you kidding me?

Yes, after being in a coma for two days, Xie Huanyue finally awakened the Sun God Ape Martial Soul. His soul power also advanced rapidly, directly reaching the level 40 mark. As long as he hunts a suitable soul beast, he will be a true Soul Master.

What does it mean to be a Soul Master at the age of twelve? It means that he has the qualifications to graduate from the outer academy as soon as he enters Shrek Academy.

This is the real monster, isn't it? Everyone looked at Xie Huanyue with deep fear. With such talent, he is sure to enter the inner academy in the future.

And that was indeed the case. After the academy's higher-ups took him away, they discovered that his martial soul had awakened a second time into an unknown Sun God Ape, and his soul power had broken through the level 40 mark. They immediately abandoned the idea of ​​making him compensate the academy for the cleaning losses and reserved a spot for him to be recommended to the inner academy.

Such talent, if properly nurtured, can reach the level of a Title Douluo around the age of twenty.

Xie Huanyue looked around the classroom and finally found Huo Yuhao at the very back. Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded at him, then patted the seat next to Nanmen Yun'er, gesturing for him to come over.

This scene was also observed by those with ulterior motives, who became even more wary of Huo Yuhao. Even a level 40 prodigy recognized him; Huo Yuhao's identity and strength were definitely not simple.

"Yuhao." Xie Huanyue sat down in her seat and smiled sincerely at Huo Yuhao, "Thank you."

Although it is unknown what methods Huo Yuhao used to awaken his Sun God Ape bloodline, it was clearly Huo Yuhao who stimulated his body's will to live when he was on the verge of death, bringing him back to life from the brink of death.

This was undoubtedly a life-saving grace for him!

Therefore, Xie Huan Yue's heartfelt gratitude towards Huo Yu Hao was reciprocated, as was Huo Yu Hao's genuine friendship. In a place like Shrek Academy, besides having exceptional personal strength, one also needs a powerful team capable of handling many challenges.

At this time, Hibiscus's course is about to begin.

"All freshmen, come with me to the playground. Today, I'll give you your first lesson using practical methods." After saying that, Mu Jin walked out of the classroom.

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

Sure enough, when Huo Yuhao arrived at the playground, he saw a class running laps together. At the very front of the group was a boy with light blue hair, who was none other than Wang Dong and Wang Dong'er, whom he had met briefly yesterday.

It has to be said that Wang Dong, according to the original plot, only had a soul power of level 20 or so. However, due to the influence of the Three Lives Martial Soul, both her physical fitness and the strength of her soul power far surpassed those of her peers. Even Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, whose soul power is currently higher than hers, might not be her match in a one-on-one situation.

Huo Yuhao only glanced at Wang Dong from afar before looking away. He didn't even want to spy on Wang Dong too much. No one knew how many tricks the gods of the Douluo plane had up their sleeves, and he couldn't expose himself to the gods too early.

"Class 9 students are divided into two camps. One camp consists of Soul Masters with combat abilities, such as those specializing in offensive, agile, and defensive attacks. The other camp consists of Soul Masters with combat abilities, such as those specializing in control and support. You have one minute to stand in line." Mu Jin glanced at the old woman directing the class to run laps in the distance, couldn't help but purse her lips, and then spoke to the freshmen in front of her.

Most of the freshmen who pass the entrance exam are strong attackers or agile attackers, possessing considerable combat abilities. Support and food-type soul masters are few and far between, and even including control-type soul masters, who are semi-combat types, there are only about twenty of them.

Huo Yuhao naturally stood in the group of more than twenty people, with Ning Tian standing shoulder to shoulder with him at the very back of the group.

"All freshmen in the support, food, and control departments, come over here," Mu Jin called out to the group of more than twenty people. Then, to everyone's puzzled looks, she took out a large stack of shoes from her storage soul tool.

To be precise, it's a level-two soul tool, a propulsion shoe that accelerates through jet propulsion.

"We will only run five laps. Those of you who are not good at fighting, put on these shoes and familiarize yourselves with them by activating your soul power. After ten minutes, everyone should run five laps as fast as you can. You can use your soul power, but you are not allowed to activate your martial soul, and you are not allowed to fight each other. I will check your results at that time."

Mu Jin casually pulled over a support-type girl, had her put on the propulsion shoes, and explained the use of this soul tool in detail in front of the twenty or so people.

On the other hand, the vast majority of combat-type Soul Masters still scoff at Soul Tools. They do not believe that non-combat-type personnel can match the speed of their physically strong combat Soul Masters after wearing Soul Tools, especially agility-type Soul Masters.

The clever freshmen immediately understood Mu Jin's idea: she wanted them to accept soul tools. Compared to the Sun Moon Empire brought about 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 gave them great convenience in their daily lives, their heartfelt pride in their martial souls still made them disdainful of soul tool masters.

Only after truly using and experiencing soul tools can one understand, accept, and research and develop them.

Huo Yuhao also put on a pair of propulsion shoes. Apart from the storage soul tool, this was the first time he had used a soul tool on his own. Following Mu Jin's guidance, he activated his soul power, which instantly turned into fuel for the shoes, spraying out a cluster of flames about a foot long from the soles of his feet, propelling him off the ground.

Although it wasn't very high off the ground, it was incredibly fun to play with, just like being an Iron Man! Huo Yuhao adjusted his balance in mid-air and sped off in a very impressive manner. Although the other non-combat freshmen didn't have much combat power, their soul power was still there. As long as they had enough soul power and soul tools, they believed they could rival those combat talents in terms of speed.

"I have to admit, you humans possess extremely powerful creativity." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind just in time. As a soul beast, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had to admire the human's hands-on ability.

"It is indeed a fine item, far superior to those Tang Clan hidden weapons." Bibi Dong, sensing the exquisite internal structure of the shoes through the soul connection, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Unexpectedly, this mere level-two soul tool gained the recognition of a million-year-old soul beast and a god. If the Propulsion Shoes could speak, they would surely be moved to tears, proclaiming that their lives had not been in vain.

It's almost the end of the month, guys, throw all your hidden cash at me, thanks!
