The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 47 Exchange Life

After the lottery, Huo Zhanji followed Xuan Ziwen to the third laboratory, which was empty and deserted.

The teacher who led Huo Zhanji in said calmly, "My name is Xuan Ziwen, and from today onwards I am your teacher. I don't care about your previous Soul Master assessment level at Shrek Academy. Here, you will all need to pass my test again."

"Let's begin," Huo Zhanji said.

"Let's begin. You're a Level 5 Soul Master at Shrek Academy, so I'll give you time. Choose any materials you like and make the best Level 5 Soul Tool you can think of. Let's get started." After saying this, Xuan Ziwen walked to the side.

Huo Zhanji turned around and walked to a pile of metal materials. He took out a relatively complete piece of bright silver metal and began to carve the core magic array. Huo Zhanji's movements were very fast. Some core magic arrays that outsiders had never seen were engraved on this piece of metal.

Xuan Ziwen frowned, muttering to himself, "Energy accumulation, explosion, acceleration, lock-on, penetration... ten array runes already, what is he trying to do?"

Huo Zhanji did not hear Xuan Ziwen's voice. The metal in his hand continued to spin, and fine metal powder was lightly sprinkled onto the experimental table.

Seeing this, Xuan Ziwen became somewhat interested in Huo Zhanji. After completing the carving of the entire core magic array in twenty minutes, and watching Huo Zhanji go to the metal platform to take a few more pieces of metal, he was now fully aroused by this young man from Shrek Academy.

Without pausing, Huo Zhanji continuously changed the shape of the metal in his hands according to his ideas. By the time Xuan Ziwen looked again, Huo Zhanji had already quickly finished piecing it together. Xuan Ziwen hadn't even seen how Huo Zhanji had assembled it.

"Click, click, clang, clang..." Amidst a series of crisp metallic sounds, the Level 5 Soul Guidance Device Awm Sniper Rifle appeared in Huo Zhanji's hand.

Xuan Ziwen simply felt that Huo Zhanji's soul tool was exquisitely crafted, which made him vaguely expectant.

"Is it done?" Xuan Ziwen asked Huo Zhanji.

Huo Zhanji adjusted the scope on the gun with his right hand, seemingly making the final adjustments.

"Then let me see the power of your soul tool," Xuan Ziwen said calmly.

Huo Zhanji walked out from behind the experimental table and came to the soul tool testing area. Large laboratories usually have such testing areas to test the power of newly made soul tools.

Huo Zhan swiftly picked up the spear in his hand, cocked it with his wrist, and saw the magic array rapidly condense a bullet. Looking through the scope at the two-meter-thick alloy wall fifty meters away, he lightly pulled the trigger, and Xuan Ziwen only heard a "bang".

Immediately afterwards, a piercing explosion was heard fifty meters away, leaving a deep crater in the alloy wall, with metal powder flying everywhere.

Xuan Ziwen's eyes lit up like stars, and he immediately gave his evaluation: "A level five soul tool. If the materials could be used better, its attack power could even approach the level of a level six or even a level seven soul tool..."

Xuan Ziwen grabbed Huo Zhanji's hand and said, "Tell me quickly, how did you do that? How could you do it so well? Are you selling this soul tool? Although its principle may not be able to solve all the problems, it will definitely give me great inspiration. I still don't know your name."

"My name is Huo Zhanji." After saying that, Huo Zhanji put the level-five soul tool in his hand back into the system space.

"Okay, okay. Huo Zhanji, tell me first, can you tell me about your research results?" Xuan Ziwen said eagerly.

"Teacher Xuan, you should understand how terrible things can happen if a soul tool that an ordinary person can use is equipped to the military."

...............

After a half-hour argument with Xuan Ziwen, Huo Zhanji traded twenty research results for Xuan Ziwen's loyalty. Xuan Ziwen was obsessed with soul tools, but that did not mean he was not smart in other matters. Huo Zhanji's research could certainly impress him, but it was by no means an unconditional impulse.

Xuan Ziwen is a Soul Master with wildly imaginative ideas, full of creativity and vitality. Combined with Huo Zhanji's max-level tool-making ability, they might be able to quickly drive development.

"Click—" The laboratory door slammed shut, and Huo Zhanji instinctively looked in the direction of the door.

"Good morning, teacher." Ju Zi seemed not to have seen Huo Zhanji at all, and just lazily greeted Xuan Ziwen. Then she walked to the large experimental table, plopped down, and lay down with her hands on the table, as if she wanted to take another nap.

Xuan Ziwen coughed twice. "Ju Zi, wake up, a new person has arrived."

Orange remained lying there, raised her right hand and waved, saying, "Don't make a sound, let me sleep a little longer. You know I stayed up very late last night."

Xuan Ziwen said somewhat helplessly, "Her name is Ju Zi, and she's also one of my students. She was researching soul tools until very late last night, working on an experiment until midnight, which is why she got up now. I have a total of four students; the other three have gone out for training and probably won't be back for a few days."

"Hmm," Huo Zhanji responded simply.

Xuan Ziwen glanced at the time and said, "That's all for today. Think about it carefully on your own. All I can teach you is the concept; how much creativity you generate is up to you."

Huo Zhanji nodded.

Xuan Ziwen stood up and walked to Ju Zi's side, then suddenly shouted, "Dinner's ready!"

"Ah! Time to eat! Hurry up, or there won't be any left to eat!" Just a moment ago, Orange was still half asleep when she suddenly jumped up and rushed out of the lab. Seeing her like that, Xuan Ziwen burst into laughter.

Not long after, Ju Zi stormed back, hurling a ball of yellow light at Xuan Ziwen: "You lied! You lied again. I'll smash you to death!"

Xuan Ziwen was able to catch a few at first, but he quickly became flustered and chuckled, "Huo Zhanji, why don't you come and help?"

Huo Zhanji was different from Xuan Ziwen. He did not release his martial soul, but relied solely on his mental power to intercept the oranges one by one in the air.

"Huh?" The girl named Orange noticed there was another person in the lab and stopped what she was doing, asking, "Who are you?"

Xuan Ziwen then stepped out from beside Huo Zhanji and said, "This is so that Huo Zhanji can learn from me in the future."

Huo Zhanji was tall for his age, and his refined and composed demeanor complemented his overall appearance.

Orange then looked him over seriously for a few moments and said, "Alright, I'm leaving. I really need to go find something to eat." With that, she waved and left the lab again.

Xuan Ziwen left soon after, leaving Huo Zhanji alone in the laboratory. Huo Zhanji simply sat cross-legged on the ground and used his mental detection to scan the Sun Moon Royal Academy. After finishing this, he was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch when the laboratory door opened and Ju Zi returned.

As soon as Ju Zi raised her hand, a plaque that looked like crystal flew to Huo Zhanji's front, and Huo Zhanji caught it.

"This is the number plate that Professor Xuan asked me to give you. With this, you can freely enter and leave the lab. There aren't many rules here. Okay, I'm going back to catch up on some sleep. I'll continue my research this afternoon." With that, she yawned and turned to walk out.

She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she suddenly stopped, turned to look at Huo Zhanji, and asked, "How did you catch so many oranges from me? I didn't see you use any special skills?"

Huo Zhanji said quickly, "I have a spirit-attribute martial soul."

"I see," Orange said before leaving.

After a simple lunch, which was really not to his liking, Huo Zhanji returned to the lab in the afternoon, but neither Xuan Ziwen nor Ju Zi were there.

Huo Zhanji also began experimenting with the creation of some soul tools. The demand for soul tools like the baby bottle was always high, but their production was extremely troublesome, especially the core magic array. The current task was to optimize and simplify the core magic array. After he had been concentrating on his work for about half an hour, Ju Zi walked in. Seeing Huo Zhanji working on the soul tool, she didn't pay much attention and went to the other side of the experimental table to begin her own work. She was also making a core magic array.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Huo Zhanji received meticulous guidance from Xuan Ziwen on theoretical knowledge, which gave him a completely new understanding of soul tools.

On the fourth day, Huo Zhanji arrived at the laboratory early in the morning. Suddenly, the laboratory door rang, and four people walked in together, including Ju Zi.

Leading the way was a tall, muscular young man with dark skin. Behind him was a petite girl, not as beautiful as Ju Zi, but charming and lovely. Standing at only about 1.6 meters tall, she had fierce eyes that seemed to be glaring at him. The third person was also a male student, tall and slender, slightly taller than Huo Zhanji...

Upon seeing the four enter, Huo Zhanji casually greeted them, "Hello."

The petite girl paused for a moment, then asked, "Who gave you permission to enter our lab?"

Huo Zhanji said with a smile, "Of course it's Teacher Xuan."

The petite girl snorted coldly and said, "What I want to tell you is that you are not qualified to enter the laboratory without our permission. If you come in again, we'll beat you up. Do you understand?"

Huo Zhanji slowly turned around and said calmly, "I now suspect that you are intruders, and Ju Zi is your inside man. I will take you down first, and then hand you over to Teacher Xuan for processing."

"Where did this little bastard come from? You think you can take him down? You think you can?" The tall young man who had been walking at the front said with a look of disdain.

The current Huo Zhanji is not the Huo Yuhao from the original story. If he doesn't teach these guys a lesson, they'll really think he's easy to bully. He's already burned his ashes. A red light flashed in his eyes, and five spirit rings appeared on his body. Seeing that his five spirit rings, especially the third spirit ring, were all ten thousand-year level, the four people opposite him were obviously stunned.

Taking advantage of their momentary daze, Huo Zhanji's eyes turned a deep red, and his mental pressure swept over them, making the air in the entire laboratory seem completely distorted.

Ju Zi reacted the fastest, with countless oranges flying towards Huo Zhanji's somewhat distorted figure. Meanwhile, the handsome young man beside her raised his hands and threw out six small hexagonal dark gold boxes, creating a dark gold light screen that protected all four of them.

The four of them simultaneously released their martial spirits. A huge cannon barrel, disproportionately large to her size, suddenly appeared on the petite girl's shoulder, while more than fifty soul-guided cannons of various styles suddenly appeared on the tall young man's body.

"If this is all you've got, then you've disappointed me greatly. I think this farce should end now," Huo Zhanji said disdainfully.

A strong sense of weakness enveloped their entire bodies, and their next move almost simultaneously slowed down. Huo Zhanji's figure instantly appeared in front of them, and his terrifying pressure was even more intense than before, making it impossible for them to lift their heads.

Huo Zhanji's red eyes flickered slightly, and his terrifying mental power crushed everyone, making them unable to lift their heads. They were simply being unilaterally beaten. After a while, Huo Zhanji stepped on Wang Shaojie's head and looked at the other three with a cold smile.

"I'm an exchange student from Shrek Academy. I'm just here to study. If you think I'm easy to bully, feel free to try. First, you should consider whether you can withstand the wrath of Shrek Academy. Just because I don't cause trouble doesn't mean I'm afraid of trouble. You should know that you also have exchange students at Shrek Academy. If I have any problems, I think Dean Jing Hongchen's grandson will be in big trouble at Shrek Academy."
