Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 136: Huo Yuhao Takes on as a Disciple?

Finally, when Xu Yang asked how he planned to handle the situation involving the child and their parents, Fan Yu remained silent. Seeing Fan Yu's silence, Xu Yang knew the answer.

What good can come of it for an ordinary person with no power or influence who gets involved with Shrek Academy?

Perhaps this principle applies not only to Shrek Academy, but to the entire world. It's just that Shrek Academy is more brutal and dark.

After saying goodbye to Fan Yu, Xu Yang returned to his own little house next to Poseidon Lake.

The next morning, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.

"Otto, what do you think? Should I take Huo Yuhao under my wing today?"

Fan Yu thought about it all night yesterday and finally decided to take Huo Yuhao in as a student, since he's just a student after all.

If it's really as Huo Yuhao himself said, then he's hit the jackpot.

"Well—that depends on what you think."

Fan Yu twirled the carving knife in his hand, a habit many Soul Masters have when they are thinking. Some powerful Soul Masters can even develop a set of knife techniques.

-

"I'll accept it after all."

Fan Yu composed herself and began another busy day of work.

The entire Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy operates on this principle. Every day, they disassemble soul tools smuggled from the Sun Moon Empire and continuously summarize knowledge from them, attempting to innovate and develop new technologies.

However, the efficiency was extremely low, as even Fan Yu had to admit. Sometimes, even with his level eight soul master's eye, he couldn't improve some level seven soul tools after disassembling them.

It's as if the soul tools produced by the Sun Moon Empire are the optimal solution.

Sometimes, their attempts to manipulate things backfire.

According to Fan Yu, once when he was disassembling an eighth-level soul-guided cannon shell, he accidentally made a mistake and it exploded right in his face.

Thanks to Dean Qian Duoduo's martial soul being the Black Dragon Shield, he was right beside Fan Yu, protecting him as he dismantled the soul-guided cannonball.

Otherwise, Fan Yu would have died long ago.

Since then, the Soul Guidance Department was moved away from the densely populated area of ​​Shrek Academy and relocated to a godforsaken place.

Yan Shaozhe used this incident to mock Qian Duoduo quite a bit afterward.

"By the way, I don't know if you've ever taught students before, Otto?"

"Interested in bringing one or two along?"

When Fan Yu mentioned a student, she naturally thought of Xu Yang, who claimed to be a researcher at Mingdetang. People like them usually hold multiple positions, conducting research and teaching in parallel, squeezing out every bit of value.

Besides having Cai Tou as her direct disciple, Fan Yu also undertakes many teaching tasks.

There was no other way; Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department only had so many people, so they had to make the best use of them. He also wanted to focus all his energy on the research and development of soul tools, but the conditions didn't allow it.

However, precisely because of this, Fan Yu's status in Shrek Academy is second only to Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, who are the dean and vice dean, respectively. Now, Xu Yang might be added to the list as well.

"Students? I've never actually taught any before—"

"Ever since I started learning about soul tools, I have always been studying under Dean Hongchen. Although some people have suggested that I participate in the teaching, Dean Hongchen has always brushed them off on the grounds that it would take up too much time."

"However, I did get to know quite a few authoritative level nine soul masters because of this, and even received some guidance from them, which can be considered as a mentor-mentee relationship."

"If the teachers knew I escaped here, they would be very disappointed. And Dean Hongchen, he—"

Xu Yang got more and more into the story, and began to recall various past events.

Fan Yu quickly changed the subject.

"In that case, would you be interested in taking on one or two students?"

This was also a task assigned to him by Qian Duoduo: to have Xu Yang mentor one or two students at Shrek Academy, thus creating an emotional bond. This would facilitate the subsequent brainwashing, making Xu Yang a true Shrek student.

This tactic has worked for them time and time again.

"Besides Cai Tou, there are other geniuses in the Soul Guidance Department."

Fan Yu then pulled out another list of Soul Guidance Department members and began introducing it to Xu Yang.

"Look at Guo Fan, he's already a Level 3 Soul Master at sixteen. And Li Haifeng, he's seventeen now, a bit older, but he's almost a Level 4 Soul Master."

As Fan Yu spoke, she observed Xu Yang's changing expressions.

However, he didn't see anything.

Fan Yu knew that Xu Yang came from the Sun Moon Empire and had seen countless geniuses. This kind of talent might not really be anything special in Xu Yang's eyes.

However, the tasks assigned from above must ultimately be completed.

The topic of Fan Yu shifted again.

"How about... having Huo Yuhao become your student?"

Qian Duoduo told him that she would do whatever it took to get Xu Yang to take on a disciple.

Fan Yu couldn't think of any other suitable candidates, so he could only hope that Huo Yuhao's first soul skill would interest Xu Yang, and that Xu Yang would take him on as a disciple.

This is also a stroke of luck for Huo Yuhao.

To be accepted as a disciple by a future Title Douluo and a Level 9 Soul Master—what incredible luck! When he was learning about Soul Tools, he dreamed of having a Level 9 Soul Master take him as a disciple.

It's a pity that there isn't a single level nine Soul Master in the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms. Want to break through by learning level nine Soul Tools? Those level eight Soul Tools of the Sun Moon Empire were smuggled out by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School at great risk.

Let's just dream about level nine soul tools.

Unless Shrek Academy is able to kill or even capture a level nine Soul Master one day, Fan Yu believes it will be difficult for Shrek to have its own level nine Soul Master.

This is precisely why he was so attentive to Xu Yang, because Xu Yang truly possessed a complete inheritance belonging to a level nine soul master.

"Taking Huo Yuhao as a disciple?"

When Xu Yang himself learned of this news, he had already recovered from that extreme state.

He originally wanted to go to Shrek Academy to have some fun, but—taking Huo Yuhao as his disciple seems to be even more fun!

Seeing that Xu Yang was actually thinking seriously, Fan Yu secretly thought to himself that there was a chance for this.

"Taking Huo Yuhao as a disciple doesn't matter who takes him on. We're all serving Shrek Academy, after all."

Fan Yu comforted herself in her heart.

He turned around and continued to promote Huo Yuhao.

"Otto, let me tell you, after you experience Huo Yuhao's soul skill in a little while, you will definitely not regret your decision to take Huo Yuhao as your disciple."

"And his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, a mental-type Martial Soul, is incredibly useful in crafting Soul Tools. His mental strength is far superior to that of other Soul Masters of the same level."

Even he sometimes wonders if his martial soul was also the Spirit Eye, would his skill in soul tools be even higher now?

Fan Yu hadn't experienced that feeling of progress in a long time.
