On the other hand, the vast majority of combat soul masters still scoffed at soul guides. They did not think that those non-combat personnel could compete with their physically strong combat soul masters in speed after wearing soul guides, and this was especially true for agile attack soul masters.

The smart freshmen immediately understood Mu Jin's idea. The latter wanted them to accept soul guides. Compared with the Sun and Moon Empire brought about by the continental collision, the three empires of the original Douluo Continent were still in the stage of rejecting soul guides. Even though soul guides gave them great convenience in their daily lives, their inner pride in their martial spirits still made them disdain soul guides.

Only after truly using and experiencing a soul guide device can one understand it, accept it, and research and develop it.

Huo Yuhao also put on a pair of propulsion shoes. Apart from the storage soul guide, this was the first time he used a soul guide himself. Following Mu Jin’s instructions, he activated his soul power, which instantly turned into fuel for the shoes. A cluster of flames about a foot long sprayed out from the soles of his feet, pushing him off the ground.

Although it is not very high from the ground, it is very playable, just like an iron man! Huo Yuhao adjusted his balance in mid-air and started to gallop in a proper manner. Although the other non-combat freshmen did not have much combat power, their soul power was still there. As long as they had enough soul power and soul guides, they could compete with those combat talents in terms of speed.

“I have to admit that you humans have extremely powerful creativity.” The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in Huo Yuhao’s mind in time. As a soul beast, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had to admire humans’ hands-on ability.

"It's indeed a good thing. It's much stronger than the Tang Sect's hidden weapons." Bibi Dong felt the exquisite internal structure of the shoes through the soul connection and couldn't help but admire it.

I didn't expect that just a second-level soul guide would be recognized by a million-year-old soul beast and a god. If the push shoes could speak, they would definitely shed tears and shout that this life was not in vain.

It's the end of the month, brothers, please give me all the money you have saved, thank you!

Chapter 41 A Jin, are you serious?

Ten minutes later, with a whistle, the two groups of students quickly gathered in front of Mu Jin.

In the running competition, under the premise that the use of soul power is allowed, combat-type soul masters with strong physical foundations will undoubtedly have the advantage. Even though all the non-combat freshmen are equipped with soul guides, many people still look at them with contempt.

After thousands of years of accumulation, Shrek has built a super large playground with wealth that is enough for these hundreds of freshmen to stand on the same starting line.

"All freshmen, take your positions, get set—" Mu Jin put the whistle hanging around her neck in her mouth and faced the group of freshmen who were eager to try at the starting line.

"Wow—"

As the whistle sounded, several agile attack soul masters took the lead and quickly widened the distance with the main force, while the strong attack soul masters with strong explosive power followed closely behind, and then the defense soul masters with strong physique. Although all the non-combat freshmen activated their soul power at the first moment the whistle sounded, stepped on their boots and ran out, there was still a big gap between them and the combat elites at first.

Even someone as strong as Ning Tian, ​​whose soul power was as high as level 33, was inevitably left at the back of the main group. However, she had the advantage of strong soul power, and her propulsion shoes burst out with powerful forward thrust, allowing her to accelerate steadily. She quickly left behind a group of non-combat soul masters and caught up with the defensive soul master group in front.

The agile attack spirit masters made the most of their speed advantage. When they had completed two full laps, the group at the end had just reached the finish line of the first lap. However, this was when their own physique and willpower began to be tested. In terms of pure physical fitness, the strong attack and defense spirit masters were still better. Even after running two laps explosively, they still looked relaxed and at ease.

Probably when the group of people running in the front reached the third lap, the non-combat soul masters with sufficient soul power had already caught up, and most of them had reached the middle level of the large group. This surprised many combat soul masters who originally had prejudices against soul guides.

Can soul guides really change the world of soul masters?

Ning Tian relied on her strong soul power, and although it was a bit difficult, her position was already quite forward. Many agility attack soul masters who could not keep up with the physical strength had begun to fall behind one by one. The one currently running in the front was no longer an agility attack soul master, but Xie Huanyue, whose soul power was as high as level 40.

Xie Huanyue almost jumped for joy. Before, his fat alone would have greatly affected his mobility. But after losing weight completely, he took the lead in this running competition with the highest soul power and strong attack physique in the class.

In the fourth lap, Ning Tian, ​​with the help of his soul guide, had completely surpassed everyone except Xie Huanyue and was in second place. The agile attack soul masters who had been running as hard as they could at the beginning, all fell to the middle position of the group due to lack of physical strength.

As for those non-combat soul masters who were not favored, they used their soul guides to run to the upstream position of the main force, which made more combat soul masters drop their jaws.

As if to show his acting skills, Huo Yuhao was far behind everyone else. When he passed by Mu Jin, he blew a kiss to his teacher. From his relaxed expression, it was obvious that he was hiding his incompetence. When Xie Huanyue had finished the fourth lap, Huo Yuhao had just started the third lap.

"This brat..." Mu Jin, who was teased by Huo Yuhao every time she finished running a lap, was almost fuming. Just now, this boy even sneaked up to her and deliberately got close to her with his face, causing her to kiss Huo Yuhao on the face before she could react.

Furious, Mu Jin announced loudly, "In today's running race, the last runner-up won't be allowed to eat for the whole day! The bottom 30 runners won't be allowed to have lunch!"

“A Jin, are you serious?” Huo Yuhao, who was hanging at the end, was shocked. People are made of iron and food is made of steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will be hungry! This is especially true in the Douluo world where you cannot practice Taoism or fasting. Seeing the freshmen in front of him looking at him with gloating eyes, Huo Yuhao made up his mind.

Well, you despise me, right? You laugh at me, right? I pretend to be a loser, so it's normal and logical for me to run slowly. I run so gracefully, why do you have to target me?

Although Mu Jin's registration form recorded that Huo Yuhao's true soul power was level 29, she would never have imagined how exaggerated Huo Yuhao's true strength was.

When Huo Yuhao awakened for the second time in the Holy Spirit Church, he had an innate full soul power of level 30. After a year of tempering in the blood pool, he also possessed the physique of a strong attack-type combat soul master. After that, he merged with the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to obtain two million-year soul rings, which made his actual soul power break through the level 40 soul ancestor mark!

He just didn't have enough spirit rings, not that he didn't have the corresponding spirit power above the spirit ancestor. Bibi Dong once said that if he didn't have to compress his spirit power to improve his spirit power level, as long as he had enough spirit rings, he might have become a spirit king.

Then, all the freshmen who were still running hard saw a black shadow whizzing past.

Too fast, too fast! With the help of the soul guide, Huo Yuhao's instant burst of speed directly exceeded the level of a normal agility attack-type soul master. In less than ten seconds, he finished the third lap and continued to move towards the fourth lap at the same speed.

This guy is really amazing! Ning Tianjiao snorted. This guy always kept a low profile when he was with her and others. Most of the time, she and others treated him as a cheating tool for cultivation, and ignored his talent.

“Good fellow!” Even Xie Huanyue, who was running in the front, was severely shocked by Huo Yuhao’s sudden speed. However, Huo Yuhao had hidden something. Didn’t he have any hidden something after he awakened the legendary Sun God Ape Martial Spirit?

Just as Huo Yuhao quickly finished the fourth lap and was about to overtake Ning Tian, ​​Xie Huanyue suddenly stopped moving forward, bent his upper body into a horse stance, put his right fist on the ground, and pressed his elastic calves down like a pump, forming a spring-like shape. At the same time, wisps of steam began to emerge from his body.

Huo Yuhao, who had just passed Ning Tian, ​​almost slipped when he saw this familiar scene. It cannot be said to be similar, but it can only be said to be exactly the same.

The next moment, Xie Huanyue's body rushed forward almost like a flash, with a speed that even a Soul King of the Agility Attack type could not match.

The speed of the two was almost beyond the comprehension of a normal freshman. They crossed the finish line almost one after the other, leaving Ning Tian alone at the back, disheveled in the wind.

First place, Xie Huanyue. Second place, Huo Yuhao. Third place, Ning Tian.

“Mr. Huo, it’s not fair of you to hide your strength.” Xie Huanyue patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. His previous state could not last long. If Huo Yuhao had exploded like that from the beginning, he would definitely have a chance to take the first place.

“Fatty, you’re not bad either. This awakened god-level martial spirit is different.” Huo Yuhao grinned, and then he thought about it and took out a round straw hat tied with red silk from the storage soul guide and put it on Xie Huanyue’s head. “This is for you. It suits you very well.”

The corner of Xie Huanyue's mouth twitched. He didn't understand why Huo Yuhao wanted to make him wear such a straw hat. However, after Huo Yuhao handed him a mirror and he looked at himself wearing the straw hat, he thought he was quite handsome.

While Huo Yuhao and Xie Huanyue were chatting, all the freshmen finally finished the whole course. The defensive spirit master who was running at the end had a bitter face. He was going to have no food to eat today...

"Everyone assemble." After resting for a few minutes, Mu Jin coughed lightly, and the people who were staggering around finally got up from the ground.

"I'm sure you've seen it just now. These twenty or so non-combat students have achieved good rankings with the help of soul guides."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Even some freshmen who were extremely averse to soul guides, when they saw their non-combat classmates achieving better results than themselves, had to admit in their hearts that soul guides had brought about earth-shaking changes to the soul master world.

"I believe everyone is well aware that in the past few thousand years, soul tools have developed rapidly. At the beginning, the Sun Moon Continent brought more rare materials and basic production methods for soul tools. After thousands of years of development, The production of soul guides has become more and more sophisticated, and their power has also increased. This has caused even a soul master with a food-type device to hold a powerful enough soul guide to explode uncontrollably. The attack power is inferior to that of the assault-type soul masters, or even worse. And if the agility-type soul master holds a powerful defensive soul tool, then he can temporarily act as a defense-type soul master effect."

"It can be said that the emergence of soul guides has greatly changed the direction and status quo of soul masters' training. In fact, what has been weakened is the role of soul rings. As long as there is enough soul power, soul guides can be used to make up for the soul rings. Insufficient power. This has caused many people to ignore the role of soul rings, thus forming the current situation in which all the soul masters of the four major empires pursue soul power as their cultivation method."

"Undoubtedly, this training method is indeed effective in a short period of time, especially for soul masters below level 50, the effect is very obvious. However, I want to tell you that we at Shrek Academy do not train such soul masters. Because after level 50, they are all garbage!"

The freshmen looked at each other, not understanding what Teacher Mu was up to.

"You don't understand, right? Let me give you an example. If you are a spirit master with a weapon spirit, and you have cultivated to level 50, and I am a war spirit master with agility attack, and I have also cultivated to level 50. You have a spirit guide that can threaten my life, and I don't have a spirit guide. Who will win this battle?"

"The answer is simple. I will win. Why? Because with my speed, you have no chance of hitting me with your soul guide. Even if you have a top-level soul guide, I can use my speed advantage to wear you out of soul power. The more powerful the soul guide, the greater the consumption of soul power. Therefore, although the weapon soul masters of the three systems of defense, assistance and food can use soul guides to give themselves the attack power of a strong attack system battle soul master, they do not have the combat power of a strong attack system battle soul master. You must remember this clearly. Therefore, although soul guides have a great enhancing effect on weapon soul masters of the three systems of defense, assistance and food. But if your body is not strong enough, then you will always be the first to be killed on the battlefield. Your enemies will not let you go just because you are not a battle soul master. On the contrary, they will pick on the weak. Your attack power is very strong with soul guides, but you are weak in other aspects. How will the enemy choose?"

Huo Yuhao listened to this teaching speech which was almost identical to the one in the original plot, and he understood that Shrek now began to focus on training soul masters who also practiced soul guides, which is the so-called Shrek Soul Guide Department.

"Similarly, if I have a very strong physical fitness and a strong fighting ability, then if I have a powerful soul guide in my hand it will be like adding wings to a tiger. This is a true strong person." Mu Jin taught diligently.

"Attack and defense are blurred. Anyone in a spirit master team can act as an attacker. However, improving your own quality can maximize your survivability on the battlefield. Unless one day the spirit guide can be developed to the point where it completely replaces your body, otherwise, the training of physical quality and the selection of spirit rings are the top priorities of your future training."

The Shrek teachers who had a common understanding of soul guides did not know that ten thousand years later, soul guides had actually developed to the point where they said they could replace the body. Well, that is, battle armor, mechas, and even space battleships.

"In the next three months, I will provide you with physical and theoretical guidance, so that you can truly become a talented soul master with great potential."

"This is the end of today's morning classes. As an exception, everyone is allowed to have a good lunch at noon. Class dismissed. Huo Yuhao, come with me to my office."

"Long live Teacher Mu--" The students who were depressed and unable to eat just now immediately cheered. It can be seen that Teacher Mu is really good at controlling people's hearts.

In the office, Huo Yuhao shyly touched the mark on his face left by Mu Jin's red lips, "Teacher Mu, do you want to examine my body?"

Mu Jin was furious, "Get lost Huo Yuhao, why are you like this——"

I will update three times today. After dinner tonight, I will look at the voting results and decide whether to update four or five times.

Chapter 42: I really don’t want to bear the name of Master anymore

"How dare you tease your teacher?" Mu Jin said unhappily.

“Of course, it’s because Teacher Mu is so beautiful that I can’t forget her for a long time.” Huo Yuhao acted sincere. “It can be said that once I saw you, I was ruined for life. I forgot to eat and sleep and was unable to reconcile. I am filled with admiration for you…”

“Alright, alright, alright, shut up, you little brat!” Seeing that the shameless boy was about to continue talking, Mu Jin stretched out her hand to cover Huo Yuhao’s mouth. There were many boys of this age who liked older sisters, but she was the first time she had seen someone as shameless as Huo Yuhao who dared to express himself.

“Since Teacher Mu doesn’t have any instructions, I’ll leave first.” Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and was about to run away.

“Go away, go away… Wait!” Mu Jin held her forehead with her hand, then reacted and grabbed the corner of Huo Yuhao’s clothes as he was about to run away, “Tell me the truth, what level is your soul power? Why is your burst speed today not even comparable to that of a Speed ​​Attack Soul Sect master?”

“Teacher, you should ask Xie Huanyue instead of asking me.” Huo Yuhao had a sad face. It was obvious that the other guy’s behavior was more abnormal, so why did Teacher Mu keep holding on to him?

“Xie Huanyue’s situation is similar to the third awakening of his martial spirit. He has been specially approved and can enter the inner courtyard directly after graduating from the outer courtyard.” Mu Jin had obviously just received the news. An unprecedented situation like the third awakening of his martial spirit was probably only understood by the inner courtyard. She stared at Huo Yuhao seriously, “As for you, if you burst out at that speed at the beginning, Xie Huanyue might not be able to beat you.”

“Beautiful teacher, that’s Shrek Square! One lap is nearly four miles. How can a soul master run five laps in one go?” Huo Yuhao cried out in indignation.

"Your soul skill has the ability to change vision. Don't use that ability on me. Show me your martial soul." Mu Jin waved her hands helplessly. She even felt a rare sense of fatigue towards this little guy who kept hiding things. "I swear in the name of Shrek that I will never reveal even a little bit of your ability to others."

“Teacher Mu, are you sure you really want to watch it?” Seeing that she was getting serious, Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but touch his nose. “You might be disappointed.”

“Stop talking nonsense. I need to know your true ability!” Mu Jin slammed the table, obviously annoyed by Huo Yuhao’s behavior.

"alright."

This time, Huo Yuhao rarely used simulated soul skills, but simply used martial soul possession. His eyes instantly turned into a rippled blood color, and two white soul rings slowly rose under his feet. Yes, it was the white color that was despised in a place like Shrek.

“Oh my goodness, it’s really just a ten-year spirit ring…” In fact, Mu Jin deliberately set up a detection spirit guide in her office, which Huo Yuhao didn’t know. If he really continued to use simulated spirit skills to deceive the world, he would be detected as soon as possible for using spirit skills.

Of course, it would be impossible for the soul guides produced by the Shrek Soul Guide Department alone to detect the soul skills of a million-year soul ring.

It doesn’t matter what color soul rings an ordinary soul master has. The key point is that this is Shrek. Huo Yuhao, who has already “wasted” two soul rings, will basically have no chance of joining the inner courtyard in the future!

In the current timeline, except for the blue-gold and dark-gold god-level spirit rings of the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago, the only known normal spirit rings are white, yellow, purple, black and red. It was not until the orange-gold spirit rings produced by the fierce beasts in the story of Huo Gua in the original novel that the fierce beasts on the entire continent can be counted with one hand. How can it be so easy to hunt fierce beasts? As for the green-gold spirit rings of the Son of the Planes, the seven-color and nine-color spirit rings of the Dragon God, they are all subsequent stories.

“You…ah, why did you add two such spirit rings to your own martial spirit…” Mu Jin scolded angrily. In her opinion, a genius like Huo Yuhao who possessed extraordinary talent should not waste his talent in vain because of the rush to add spirit rings.

Seeing that Mu Jin was really worried about his future, Huo Yuhao felt a rare sense of warmth in his heart, and simply turned on the spiritual detection sharing to let Teacher Mu feel the terrifying power of the million-year soul ring.

hum-

The mind sharing was connected to Mu Jin, and the detector alarm in the office sounded instantly. Mu Jin's eyes froze, and then she personally experienced the mental power detection that could detect everything within a radius of ten miles.

This… is this really a ten-year spirit ring? Mu Jin opened her mouth. Her feelings towards Huo Yuhao went from initial surprise to disappointment, and then back to surprise. It could be said that she had experienced a lot of ups and downs.

"This is my first soul skill, spiritual detection sharing. The second soul skill is simulation, which changes my appearance and the color and number of soul rings. Teacher, you should have guessed it." Huo Yuhao said honestly.

"I really can't believe that this is an ability brought by a ten-year spirit ring..." Mu Jin smiled bitterly, but the detectors in the dark could not lie. This was definitely the most powerful "ten-year" spirit skill she had ever seen.

"Based on your abilities, I can tell that you are a support-type soul master. Your strong mental power is understandable, but what's the situation with your soul power explosion today?"

“Um, teacher, have you heard of soul power compression?” Huo Yuhao directly threw out a concept that only appeared ten thousand years later.

"Soul power compression rate?" Mu Jin was stunned by the question. After all, this concept did not exist yet.

“After soul power reaches a certain level, quantity is no longer absolutely important, and quality also matters. Compression degree is quality. Simply put, for both of them, the nine-ring Titled Douluo who increases his soul power through natural resources and treasures is completely different from the one who reaches level ninety through self-cultivation and accumulation. The difference in compression degree is at least three degrees. The higher the compression degree, the more condensed the soul power. Each degree corresponds to a level.” Huo Yuhao brought the concept of the future forward ten thousand years. Mu Jin’s heart moved, and she quickly took out a pen and paper to record it.

"Increasing the compression of soul power is even more difficult than cultivating soul power. Especially after the fifth degree, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to increase the compression by one degree."

“My soul power compression degree is seven degrees, which means that although I am only a second-ring cultivator, in fact, my soul power is condensed enough to rival that of a Soul Sect-level soul master who practices normally. If the two coefficients are multiplied together, my actual level can be compared to a Soul King of over fifty levels.” Huo Yuhao spread his hands and did not show any aversion to Mu Jin quoting his speech. This thing was originally a theory developed by Shrek ten thousand years later, and it was understandable that he gave it to Mu Jin ten thousand years in advance as her unique teaching theory.

"Yuhao, if your theory is true, based on what you said, you can become a master of martial spirit theory research!" Mu Jin's beautiful eyes brightened a lot, and she held the excerpted text as if it were a treasure.

“Master…” Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. He could even feel the evil spirit emanating from his spiritual sea from time to time. “Teacher Mu, please don’t call me by that title. I feel sick. I got this theory by accident, so I’ll give it to you as a gift from your student.”

"Really?" Mu Jin's beautiful eyes sparkled. Although her teaching quality in Shrek over the past ten years was considered outstanding, she had not been able to lead by example and come up with any new teaching theories due to the stagnation of her soul power. Once the students graduated and entered the inner courtyard, she, a teacher in the outer courtyard, was left far behind.

“Of course it’s true. I don’t want to do it either… Master…” Huo Yuhao laughed and stood up. “If Teacher Mu doesn’t have anything else to say, I’ll leave first.”

“I almost forgot…” Mu Jin slapped her forehead and looked at Huo Yuhao with burning eyes. “Three months later, you freshmen will have a freshman assessment. Only after you pass the assessment can you officially become a first-year student and truly become a member of Shrek Academy. I think this should not be a problem for you.”

"But if possible, I hope you can bring Xie Huanyue and Ning Tian to get me into the top three in the freshman assessment! This will also have a great impact on my promotion to a teaching position."

As expected, Huo Yuhao gave a bitter smile. Just like in the original novel, this teacher Mu Jin lost a soul bone in the freshman assessment just to get angry with that woman Zhou Yi, and lost the salary he had saved from teaching for several years.

Anyway, I might need her help in the future, so I might as well remind her. Huo Yuhao thought to himself, and then said, "Teacher Mu, don't worry. I will definitely give you a big surprise in three months. But there is one more thing I want to remind you."

“As long as you are confident, that’s all. Not many people know about Xie Huan Yue’s existence yet. Hmm? What’s the matter?” Mu Jin nodded. A level 40 Soul Sect member is an exception among the freshmen. With Huo Yuhao, her class is very confident of getting an excellent ranking.

"It's a rumor." Huo Yuhao approached Mu Jin's ear stealthily and chuckled, saying, "It has been confirmed that Teacher Zhou Yi from Class 1 has obtained a marriage certificate with Teacher Fan Yu from the Soul Guidance Department. Teacher Mu doesn't need to waste her youth on that scumbag anymore."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Mu Jin's mind, making her face pale instantly, no longer as calm and composed as before.

I have brought this to you. I hope this love-brained woman can come out of her unrequited love, Huo Yuhao thought.

Huo Yuhao left Mu Jin's office and stretched comfortably, but saw a figure running towards him quickly. It was Xie Huanyue who had successfully lost weight.

“Fatty, congratulations on your successful weight loss!” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

“Haha, to celebrate, let’s go to Shrek City and have a big meal!” Xie Huanyue was obviously in high spirits. The reawakening of his martial soul made him feel like a new life. Wearing the straw hat that Huo Yuhao gave him, he felt that he had become a lot more handsome.

"You have money?" Huo Yuhao looked strange. Although the fat man had lost weight, it was unknown whether his appetite had also decreased. With his appetite, the consumption level in Shrek City was not low.

"Of course. I saved a lot of money to buy the fire ape body, but it was useless in the end. To express my gratitude, I will take you to Shrek City today to spend all the money!"

In Xie Huanyue's heart, Huo Yuhao's kindness could never be repaid. Since he was her brother, why should she be stingy with this little money?

After all, not many people are willing to protect and save the life of a friend they have only known for less than half a day in a smelly environment where they are excreting fat steam.

Huo Yuhao took a serious look at this silly guy with clear eyes, and patted Xie Huanyue on the shoulder.

"Let's go, Fatty."
