Chapter 10: One Punch Shatters the Genius Dream, Brother, I'm a Scholar
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao instantly recalled Tang Fozu's hideous expression: "Hehe..."
"So, you think you're not a mediocre person, but a genius?"
Zhou Changxi, judging by Huo Yuhao's demeanor, suspected he was someone not to be trifled with. However, he continued to speak stubbornly:
"I'm a Level 11 Power-type Battle Spirit Master. My Zhou family even possesses a five-thousand-year-old inherited spirit—the Hercules Ape.
Once I gain the recognition of our family's inherited spirit, I'll surely be able to successfully advance to the Advanced Spirit Master Academy and even become one of the best.
How can I not be considered a genius?"
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao didn't bother to talk any more. Without releasing his martial spirit, he simply walked straight towards Zhou Changxi.
Zhou Changxi looked at Huo Yuhao cautiously: "I'm warning you, if you come one step closer, I'll attack you. Don't blame me if I hurt you!"
Seeing Huo Yuhao approaching, Zhou Changxi knew he was serious about attacking, so he decided to strike first.
The Hercules Ape spirit instantly possessed Zhou Changxi, and a layer of thick black fur sprouted from his body, while his arms grew several times thicker.
Zhou Changxi shouted, "Hmph, so arrogant! Why don't you release your spirit? Don't blame me for not reminding you, my strongest skill is strength."
He then swung his fist towards Huo Yuhao.
Seeing Zhou Changxi charging towards him, Huo Yuhao delivered a light punch.
To the surrounding students, Huo Yuhao's fist seemed so weak compared to Zhou Changxi's possessed spirit.
Some of the more timid girls closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of Huo Yuhao's broken arm.
But this seemingly weak punch, in the next instant, sent Zhou Changxi flying over ten meters, to the exclamations of the surrounding students.
Huo Yuhao slowly walked over to Zhou Changxi. "How's it going? Still a genius?"
Zhou Changxi was so frightened that he shielded his head with one hand and quickly waved his other hand away. "Big Brother, I was wrong. I'm not a genius. I'm actually a scholar. Scholars shouldn't resort to violence!"
Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged: "Go apologize to your classmates!"
Zhou Changxi hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go apologize to Tang Wulin right away!"
...
Ten minutes later.
At the teaching office of the intermediate department of East China Academy,
Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, Tang Wulin, and Zhou Changxi lined up.
Huo Yuhao methodically recounted the previous events.
Long Hengxu looked at Zhou Changxi coldly: "So, this is all because of you?"
Zhou Changxi, still reeling from the shock of Huo Yuhao's punch, his face livid: "Director Long, I was wrong. I was momentarily bewildered and made a terrible mistake."
Long Hengxu snorted coldly: "Don't think that just because your Zhou family has some power in East China City, you can get away with being arrogant!
This is a school, and you won't be allowed to act recklessly.
" With your aptitude, you should have been in Class Two. But you ignored the school rules and bullied your classmates. You deserved the beatings. You'll stay in Class Five forever!
Thankfully, there weren't any casualties this time, otherwise you'd have just prepared to drop out!"
Zhou Changxi's heart trembled at the word 'drop out'; if he were truly expelled, his father would have beaten him to a pulp.
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as I'm not expelled."
But then he realized what was happening, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Huo Yuhao is so powerful, even if there were casualties, it would only be me.
This is weird, this freak came from somewhere. He didn't even unleash his spirit, yet he was able to knock me, a Level 11 Battle Spirit Master with the Hercules Ape spirit, away.
He must have at least a Level 20 spirit power!"
At East Sea Academy, classes are divided according to strength and talent, from high to low, Classes One to Five.
Long Hengxu turned to look at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, a friendly smile on his face. "You two should go to Class 1. You did a great job helping your classmates today!"
He then glanced at the Soul Pagoda soul guide ring on Tang Wulin's hand.
"Is this Tang Wulin from the Soul Pagoda? I haven't heard from Lord Chu Feng. Could he be Huo Yuhao's servant?"
Long Hengxu paused and said, "Tang Wulin, you should join Class 1. Although your strength is still a bit lacking, you
were able to briefly stand up to Zhou Changxi and resisted his bullying. That's commendable courage!"
A moment later, the group left the teaching office.
Zhou Changxi fled in disgrace, and Tang Wulin followed suit after thanking Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Gu Yuena, who gave him a gossipy look.
Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "I said I was just passing by and stood up for my classmate. Do you believe me?"
Gu Yuena stuck out her tongue, "I don't believe you!"
"I'm telling you, this Golden Dragon King core is mine. If you dare to snatch it from me, I'll be furious!"
Huo Yuhao: "Don't worry, I'm staying in Douluo Continent not to steal the Dragon God's legacy from you. I can't use that thing."
Gu Yuena's heart was in turmoil: "How do you even know about the Dragon God? Who are you? Do you know the whereabouts of the God Realm?"
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly: "I'm really just an ordinary human!
And I don't know the whereabouts of the God Realm either."
Suddenly, Gu Yuena thought of a peculiar situation.
Some gods, after spending too long in the God Realm, find life dull and boring.
They pass on their divine position, preserving a certain amount of spiritual consciousness and tokens of communication with the God Realm, and then reincarnate repeatedly on the continent, experiencing different lives.
It might be during this process that Huo Yuhao was stranded in the human world when the God Realm suddenly disappeared.
Watching Gu Yuena's eyes darting back and forth, Huo Yuhao knew she was once again making up her own chaotic imagination about her identity and purpose.
Helpless, Huo Yuhao could only offer a reason that would temporarily convince Gu Yuena.
"Your Majesty, the Silver Dragon King, have you noticed that the laws of this world have changed since the disappearance of the God Realm?"
Gu Yuena frowned. "Indeed,"
Huo Yuhao continued, "So I've discovered that the Soul Law I created can undergo some fundamental improvements under the current laws of heaven and earth.
So, I'm constantly trying to improve it."
Gu Yuena's eyes widened. "What? You're saying the Soul Law can be improved?"
Oh my God! What kind of person is this? Even genius wouldn't be enough to describe him.
Gu Yuena bowed solemnly to Huo Yuhao and said, "Your Majesty, Spirit Ice Douluo, could you please tell me how the Soul Law can be improved? It's of vital importance to our Soul Beast Clan!"
Huo Yuhao was startled by Gu Yuena's sudden greeting. "I'm currently trying to enable Soul Beasts to form contracts with humans while they're still alive."
Gu Yuena's eyes lit up, her breathing rapid. "Can we make a contract while still alive?
Wouldn't that be a hundredfold benefit for both humans and soul beasts?
Is this going to rewrite history again?
Is this really possible?"
Seeing Gu Yuena's expectant eyes, Huo Yuhao said with some resignation,
"Of course, this method still has some flaws, and I'm still refining it.
If it succeeds, it will undoubtedly change the landscape of the continent once again, so I dare not rashly seek outside help.
Therefore, I currently don't have any suitable soul beasts to cooperate with me in perfecting this method.
Your Majesty the Silver Dragon King, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
