Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 118 Reform
"Everyone, check your flying soul tools. There won't be much time for training on the way."

As an eighth-level Soul Master, Fan Yu stood at the front of the line, reminding everyone. Being groomed to be the next Dean, he was naturally qualified to lead this exchange student mission.

As for the other person leading the team, it was the familiar Yan Shaozhe from the Martial Soul Academy.

'It seems he's involved in so many matters... even things concerning the Soul Guidance Department.'

'It seems Dean Yan holds a rather special position at Shrek Academy?'

Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe with a strange expression, which made the other man glance at him and nod and smile.

"I wonder if this kid will be noticed by the Sun Moon Academy..."

Yan Shaozhe had a deep impression of Huo Yuhao, whose eyes shone with excitement.

His performance in the finals of the freshman competition, in particular, confirmed to him that this kid, confined to the path of a spiritual soul master, had considerable potential. However, whether he could realize that potential remained to be seen.

"set off!"

After distributing the milk bottles, Fan Yu opened her own flying soul tool and took off first: "Don't fall behind!"

……

Just as the group transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the distance, Moon, who was gently rocking on the recliner, opened his eyes.

"He's leaving."

In fact, until Huo Yuhao flew out of his mental detection range, he still intended to step in and stop him.

Because he can feel it.

After this departure, Huo Yuhao will probably never come back.

Will he stay in the sun and moon?

Moon murmured, then shook his head, a bitter smile in his eyes: "He won't stay anywhere..."

Unlike those who either harbor dreams or yearn for mentorship, he saw no 'need' in Huo Yuhao.

The so-called Soul Master Academy's greatest benefit to him was providing stable food, lodging, and space for activities.

"Old Mu, you've come to see me for...?"

Qian Duoduo stood in front of the recliner, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

Logically speaking, even if Yan Shaozhe is busy and unable to get away, Mu En would instead entrust the matter to Xian Lin'er.

No matter how it goes, it won't be his turn.

"Nothing~ I just wanted to ask you how the reforms of the Soul Guidance Department are being implemented recently."

Mu En had no confidence in entrusting this matter to Xianlin'er.

Despite her usual antagonistic relationship with Yan Shaozhe, and her relentless efforts to undermine him in order to develop the Soul Guidance System, she is still a traditional Soul Master at heart, and it's hard to guarantee that she won't make a foolish move when it comes to specific matters.

"Although it's still ongoing, it's quite difficult."

Qian Duoduo's face showed bitterness: "It's not just those stubborn students, but even the teachers have a lot of opinions about this, and even a few senior students are openly or secretly criticizing it..."

Soul tools are far too disruptive to soul masters, fundamentally erasing the individual growth and professional barriers of soul masters below the seventh ring, and even gradually eliminating the gap in martial souls.

For someone who has always believed in the individuality of life and that all power belongs to oneself, this is tantamount to undermining the foundation of their faith.

"Thanks a lot."

Moon nodded calmly.

He had anticipated the resistance to reform. Although the disaster had awakened some people, the die-hards still made up the majority.

Right now, it's only because he, the Dragon God Douluo and the Sea God Pavilion Master, is still alive that those dissenting opinions are wisely kept to themselves and haven't dared to voice them.

If he dies...

'I'm afraid this reform won't leave much behind.'

Mu En stroked the armrest, his sigh growing stronger: "So much money."

"Elder Mu, please give your orders!" Qian Duoduo's face turned solemn.

"Starting this year, I will take the initiative to open new classes for the Soul Guidance Department, and will also launch a recruitment of Soul Guidance Teachers across the entire continent. Furthermore, I will create a new, smaller area within Shrek City."

The light in Moon's eyes was so intense that Qian Duoduo could hardly look directly at him.

Of course, the hidden meaning in his words was what made people even more alarmed.

"Mr. Mu!"

Qian Duoduo's breath hitched, and she took a half-step back: "What are you planning to do?"

"Money is plentiful..."

Moon stopped rocking the chair, and a subtle but powerful pressure surged from all directions, almost shoving Qian Duoduo into the ground: "Tell me... can I trust you?"

"..."

After standing there stunned for a long time, Qian Duoduo finally came to her senses and looked back at him with a firm gaze: "I can catch it!"

……

"You are... Huo Yuhao?"

Midway through their high-speed journey through the air, the tall, dark-skinned young man slowed down slightly, bringing himself to the same level as Huo Yuhao.

"you know me?"

Huo Yuhao looked the guy up and down, his body muscular and angular, and could only find the four words 'Fan Yu's disciple' in his memory.

Aside from knowing that this mature-looking trainee was the core of the so-called Extreme Individual Soldier Program, he had no other impression of him.

"Of course, you're a celebrity in the Foreign Languages ​​Department! I often hear stories about you from those students."

This seemingly dull person was surprisingly cheerful and talkative. Before we had even exchanged a few words, he extended his hand and said, "Let's get to know each other? Just call me He Caitou!"

"—So why are you looking for me now...?"

Huo Yuhao glanced discreetly at the hand he was holding, and before He Caitou could even register what was wrong, his mental energy detected something amiss.

This big guy seems to have an unusual aura about him?

Although he couldn't quite put his finger on it, it was clear that he was different from the people he usually encountered.

Considering his distinctive skin color, Huo Yuhao could basically confirm that this guy had blood from the Sun Moon Empire.

"Because the teacher mentioned you!"

He Caitou flashed a white smile at Huo Yuhao: "He said that your mental and physical strength are both excellent, making you a natural soul master. However, you are not very interested in soul tools and hope that I can get to know them better."

"Then you'll teach me about soul tools?"

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows.

"Uh...yeah."

A fleeting moment of embarrassment crossed He Caitou's eyes.

In fact, what Fan Yu originally meant was that Huo Yuhao had the potential to assist him in completing the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan.

That's why he was assigned to make more contacts to see if there was any hope of bringing them into the plan.

"That's unnecessary. My current plan is to improve my soul power cultivation first, and at least wait until my cultivation speed slows down before getting involved in other things."

At this point, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but glance at He Caitou again: "I can sense it. Your meridians are strong and wide, and your cultivation talent should far exceed that of ordinary people... I suppose the soul tool is holding you back from your cultivation level?"

Judging from the fluctuations in the soul power emanating from the person in front of him, he could only reach the fourth ring level at most.

It doesn't match his face at all.

"no?"

He Caitou scratched his bald head: "Don't let my old appearance fool you, I'm not even sixteen years old yet, and my cultivation level hasn't dropped much."
