"..."
Lan Xuanyu was utterly disappointed. Whether it was the expression, the eyes, or the mental power, everything was far too normal.
Could it be that this Huo Yuhao isn't a reincarnator?
No... that's not right! Don't forget that Huo Yuhao is the Emotion God King; as long as he intends to hide it, he can fake any emotion or expression!
Furthermore, if he isn't a reincarnator, there's no way to explain his cultivation. Even with the naked eye, one can see that Huo Yuhao's dense cultivation is significantly stronger than my own. This is absolutely not the talent the original Huo Yuhao should have had!
What on earth is going on?!
"Then I'll give student Huo Yuhao one last piece of advice!" Lan Xuanyu glanced at the disappointed Wang Dong and spoke coldly: "Don't do anything to betray aunt—her. And don't even think about trying to change history; it won't do you any good!"
Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. What is he talking about? What do I have to do with this Wang Dong?
Changing history, all that nonsense... is this person talking in his sleep?
"Bizarre." Dropping that single word, Huo Yuhao ignored Lan Xuanyu and Wang Dong, turning on his heel to enter the Class 10 classroom.
Lan Xuanyu gritted his teeth unwillingly. Knowing it was almost time for class, he had no choice but to call Wang Dong back to Class 1.
For some reason, Wang Dong looked back with every step, seemingly reluctant to leave.
A voice in her head kept repeating: Get closer to him, get closer to him...
...
Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan did not intentionally bring up the recent academy rumors during class, though her meaningful glances toward his direction made Huo Yuhao feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
This lecture was about soul master classification and team coordination. As a two-time lead captain who represented Shrek in the Continental Elite Young Soul Master Tournament and won the championship both times, Zhang Lexuan was intimately familiar with the subject.
Coupled with Zhang Lexuan's status as a top-tier beauty, everyone in the class listened with rapt attention, and Huo Yuhao was no exception. While he considered his combat experience decent, he wasn't very clear on the specifics of formal team cooperation.
"That's all for today's lesson. Class dismissed. Oh, right..."
When he saw Zhang Lexuan's gaze sweep toward him, Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, Zhang Lexuan said with a smile: "Monitor Yuhao, come to the office for a moment."
Under the gloating gazes of the other boys, Huo Yuhao walked out with a bitter face. The two soon entered Zhang Lexuan's private office.
Zhang Lexuan wasn't wearing her professional attire but instead a relatively simple black-collared sweater, black slim-fit trousers, and plain white high-heeled leather shoes.
This simple outfit gave Zhang Lexuan a touch of the unique youthful charm of a woman her age.
"Sit."
Huo Yuhao sat obediently in the chair opposite the desk, keeping his head down, unsure of where to look.
Seeing his nervous state, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but find it amusing: "...If it's convenient, could you tell me about you and Xiao Tao?"
"Uh... that..."
Zhang Lexuan smiled and waved her hand: "I know about the problem with Xiao Tao's martial soul. Since you can help her solve it, I am naturally happy."
At this, she couldn't help but study Huo Yuhao's face, pursing her lips.
Such a handsome face, I've never seen its equal... If he weren't so young, he would be a good match for Xiao Tao.
As the Eldest Senior Sister, she was well aware of Ma Xiaotao's current situation. The girl wasn't bad-looking, but her evil fire and temper were major points against her... leading her to end up like herself, an "older" single woman.
If Xiao Tao truly liked him, then as her senior sister, she should naturally give them her blessing.
Zhang Lexuan's voice took on a warning tone: "I don't know what Xiao Tao's thoughts are on that side, but if you really plan to be with her, you must at least wait until you've grown up a bit. I must remind you that dating is prohibited in the Outer Court."
"And... if you dare betray Xiao Tao's feelings, I will never forgive you!"
Knowing it was best not to try and explain his way out of this, Huo Yuhao gave a nervous laugh: "Cough... I, I understand."
"Right, let's talk about the Freshman Competition in three months. According to your records, your martial soul is Spirit Eye—your eyes."
"Mhm... I know very little about body martial souls. I wonder if you could help me understand: what role do you envision for this martial soul?"
There was nothing to hide here: "Teacher, I've positioned my Spirit Eye martial soul as a Control System."
He then released his martial soul. Three purple soul rings emerged around him, a golden sheen flowing in the depths of his eyes accompanied by nine-colored ripples.
Of course, these three soul rings were modified by Simulation. If he showed their true colors, it would likely scare Zhang Lexuan to death...
Zhang Lexuan's eyes widened. Three rings that exceeded the age limit!
And his mental power was so strong; it felt like it wasn't even weaker than her own!
"You... you little monster!" Zhang Lexuan quickly reached out to grab Huo Yuhao's wrist.
Huo Yuhao didn't move. He knew Zhang Lexuan was checking to see if his body had been damaged by absorbing soul rings beyond the age limit.
"Huh? Such powerful blood essence! This is definitely not the physical strength a three-ringed Mental System soul master should have..."
In the history of Douluo Continent, there was no shortage of powerful Mental System soul masters, but without exception, they were "glass cannons." There had even been a case of a Mental System soul master who reached the rank of Titled Douluo whose physical strength was inferior to a Beast martial soul Soul Saint.
Combining this with his over-the-top mental power, Zhang Lexuan looked at Huo Yuhao with a half-smile: "Little Yuhao, your files say you are a commoner, but this doesn't look like the cultivation a commoner should have."
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "Well... an uncle of mine helped me build my foundation when I was a child. That's how I achieved today's meager cultivation."
Whenever he thought of Baili Du, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of emotion. If it weren't for Uncle Baili, he probably would have only reached the rank of Soul Grandmaster at best.
Zhang Lexuan tapped her chin, her eyes flashing with curiosity: "...If possible, can you tell me what your soul skills are? Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. This will make it easier for me to fight for more resources for you from the academy's higher-ups later."
This didn't matter much to him. His three rings actually held eight soul skills... showing the three least important ones would be fine.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao realized that if he wanted to obtain cultivation resources at Shrek Academy, he had to display a portion of his talent.
If nothing else, Huo Yuhao was quite satisfied with the Inner Court disciples' meals. He wondered how the Outer Court fared and if he could get a bit more to eat.
