Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 58 Testing the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Yuhao

Kong Deming squinted and looked at Jing Hongchen meaningfully. Teacher, friend, lover all have the surname Hongchen, why not just add Yuhao to your household registration?

Ah, Master Mingde, your grandson-in-law is certainly shrewd.

Kong Deming naturally had no objection, and nodded slightly, saying, "It would be good to let Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen get to know that child better."

"But remember, let them grow naturally as much as possible. As teachers, we should provide the necessary resources and support and wholeheartedly help them grow."

Jing Hongchen cupped his hands in understanding. If one were to intervene in the other's life at every step and then call it guidance, it would be wrong.

That's not called nurturing, that's called training.

"Mr. Kong, Yuhao and Xiao and Meng have already developed a basic understanding of each other and have established a good friendship."

Jing Hongchen recalled Xiao Hongchen's somewhat excited reaction when Huo Yuhao released his mental detection sharing, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

He had initially thought that Yuhao and Xiao might not get along well, after all, he knew his grandson's proud nature and that it would be difficult to build a good relationship with him. Now it seemed that he had worried too much.

Based solely on that soul skill and its outstanding effect in the field of soul tools, Yuhao and Xiao will inevitably become close friends who fight side by side in the future.

"Master Hongchen, I heard from Ziwen that he originally planned to take Yuhao as his student, asking me to pay more attention to him and teach this grand-disciple in my spare time."

Kong Deming looked at Jing Hongchen with a half-smile. Xuan Ziwen had already told him the whole story.

Xuan Ziwen and Xu Shenggang had just brought Huo Yuhao into the city when they were intercepted by the Master of Mingde Hall.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's expression froze.

Kong Deming smiled calmly: "Hehe, Master Hongchen, you don't need to be nervous. Since you regard that child Yuhao as..."

He said casually, "If you treat him as a grandson-in-law, or rather, as half a grandson, then I naturally won't interfere too much. I just want to see Yuhao grow up healthy and positive."

Jing Hongchen's expression instantly softened, regaining its friendly demeanor, her eyes filled with uncontrollable laughter, and she bowed slightly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kong, I feel much better after hearing your words. I will wholeheartedly help Yuhao grow."

Kong Deming laughed heartily, he hadn't felt this carefree in a long time: "Haha, with top-tier talent in both the Soul Guidance System and the Martial Soul System, I can finally rest easy knowing that such a genius can grow up."

Jing Hongchen was genuinely delighted: "Elder Kong, these are the matters I wanted to discuss with you. Now that we have reached a consensus, I will return to Mingde Hall first."

After saying this, Jing Hongchen walked out of the offering hall with a happy smile after Kong Deming waved to him.

……

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, downstairs in the second-year teaching building.

"Sister Meng, Brother Xiao, that's enough for you two. You should go to class now." Huo Yuhao politely thanked them for showing him around the campus.

"Yuhao, I can't just keep you company for nothing."

Xiao Hongchen winked at him with a bright smile, as if to say, "Brother's time is also precious. I've spent so much time with you on campus, aren't you going to do something for me?"

"Is there anything else, Brother Xiao?" Huo Yuhao asked with interest.

Xiao Hongchen rubbed his hands together, feeling it was time to ask Yuhao to use that soul skill to assist him in firing the cannon. So he moved closer to Huo Yuhao, looking somewhat excited.

"Yuhao, after school, can you come with me to the Soul Tool Trial Grounds and use your Mental Detection Soul Skill to help me fire a couple of shots?"

After a moment's thought, Huo Yuhao agreed, promising to give Xiao Hongchen a shocking, overpowered experience.

Meng Hongchen looked up at the sky and blinked: "Hey? Yuhao, brother, look, isn't Grandpa flying over?"

The two looked in the direction she pointed, and saw the rainbow light that Jing Hongchen had transformed into fly above them.

Before long, Jing Hongchen landed in front of the three children, looking very happy with a rosy complexion.

"So, Yuhao, what's your first impression of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

Huo Yuhao recalled the group of enthusiastic fans behind Xiao Hongchen, "The atmosphere felt quite good; students would even spontaneously organize club activities."

"Unlike some colleges where there's backstabbing and infighting, from students and teachers to the leadership, everyone likes to make bets all the time."

Jing Hongchen didn't know which academy Huo Yuhao was referring to, but that didn't matter.

As long as you get a good first impression of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, that's fine.

Moreover, the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy do have a different pace of learning and living, with a unique sense of ease and relaxation.

The students' main task is to study soul tools and the core magic array of the next higher level.

They wouldn't fight tooth and nail over whose soul tool is more powerful.

It mainly depends on the level of technology involved.

After all, each student has different strengths in different types of soul tools. As long as the core array they inscribe reaches a higher level of technology, they can advance to the next level.

Unless it's for participating in certain competitions, the school will organize selection competitions to choose the best among them, that is, the Soul Master students who have outstanding overall combat power using Soul Tools.

Normally, you could think of the trainees as a group of young scientists. Sometimes, when they're bored, they might even do something like supporting their idols by ranking them on charts.

The so-called idols are those who make it onto the academy's list of rankings: Magic Array Inscription Ranking, Soul Guidance Research Creativity Ranking, and Soul Guidance Equipment Popularity Ranking.

Xiao Hongchen's cool and stylish metallic solidified full-body soul guide cannon has kept his character illustration at the top of the popularity charts.

Downstairs in the teaching building, Xiao Hongchen casually bought a magazine and showed it off to Huo Yuhao: "How about it? Isn't my soul-guided cannon outfit cool? I've been in first place ever since."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the portrait in the magazine and saw that Xiao Hongchen was covered in metal cannon barrels, looking like a shiny hedgehog.

In a sense, this set of equipment is indeed very cool.

Perhaps only by creating a full set of one-word and two-word battle armor can he surpass Xiao Hongchen on this list.

Meng Hongchen rubbed the ends of her hair with her fingertips: "Alright, laugh. Your martial soul can control the metal element, which gives you a significant advantage in this aspect."

"Once Yuhao has his bomb gun evaluated by Teacher Xu, it might appear on the creativity list next week."

Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms and said dismissively, "That list is full of students doing scientific research. Their combat strength is more and more abstract than the last. Who even looks at that list?"

Jing Hongchen patted his shoulder and said seriously, "Xiao, when your teacher Xuan Ziwen was in school, he was always number one on the creativity list."

"Furthermore, when we at Mingdetang are recruiting researchers, we also use the Creativity Ranking as an important reference indicator."

Xiao Hongchen nodded to indicate that he understood. He didn't look down on students who did scientific research; he just felt that strong combat ability was more valuable if they participated in certain competitions.

Meng Hongchen asked with a smile, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

Jing Hongchen gave a kind smile: "Xiao, Meng, when you have free time after school, try it out with Yuhao to see if there are any special amplification effects on your martial souls."

Of course, Xiao Hongchen was just a side note; the main concern was whether Yuhao and Meng's martial souls would produce any special reactions.

What if Yuhao and Meng really do have a martial soul fusion skill?

Xiao Hongchen readily agreed: "I understand, Grandpa. We'll try it when we have time."

Jing Hongchen took out a square soul recording device and said seriously, "Xiao, take this seriously and don't try to get away with this."

"Record it when you try out the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. This will make it easier to review later and find any mistakes you made during the process."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll take this to heart." Xiao Hongchen took Jing Hongchen's soul guide recorder and said that he also knew the importance of the martial soul fusion skill.

His and his sister's fusion skill, "Love in the Mortal World," has quite powerful effects.

Jing Hongchen nodded in satisfaction, then gave a few instructions on precautions during the attempt at the Martial Soul Fusion Technique before flying towards Mingde Hall.

"Yuhao, hurry up and report to your classroom. Xiao and I will come to your class after school," Meng Hongchen said happily, waving to Huo Yuhao.

Xiao Hongchen reminded him, "Don't forget you promised to help me fire the cannon."

"Mm." Huo Yuhao smiled and greeted them, then parted ways with Hongchen and his sister and walked into the teaching building.

……

In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 2, the assistant homeroom teacher, Jia Xu, sat expressionlessly at the lectern as students entered the classroom one after another.

To be honest, he didn't want to lead younger students because their comprehension was limited, and Jia Xu felt he was wasting his talent.

However, everyone here comes from the first-level Soul Master class, and Huo Yuhao has also been assigned to this class. In any case, he should lead the class well.

The students seemed very enthusiastic because they had all gone from "zero" to becoming true first-level soul masters, finally entering the field of soul tools.

Students at this stage are extremely curious about everything related to soul tools.

Therefore, before class even started, most students arrived at the classroom early, ready to step into the new world of Soul Guidance.

Huo Yuhao arrived at the door of Class 1, Grade 2, and greeted Jia Xu politely, "Hello, Teacher Jia."

Jia Xu finally stopped being expressionless, a smile appearing between his brows: "You're here, Yuhao. Let me pick a seat for you."

He scanned the classroom, trying to find a suitable seat for Huo Yuhao.

However, he soon discovered that the front seats of the classroom were all occupied by enthusiastic students, so Jia Xu turned his attention to the back seats.

"Yuhao, there are no students sitting in that seat, it's in the back row by the window."

Jia Xu looked at the window seat in the back row and said gently, "Go sit there, you won't be disturbed by the other students."

"Okay, Teacher Jia." Under the curious and inquisitive gazes of his classmates, Huo Yuhao walked to the spot that Jia Xu pointed to.

Not long after he sat down, the soul-guided device emitted the school bell.

Jia Xu took out a soul tool similar to an in-ear monitor, which made his voice louder so that all the students in the class could hear him.

"Class, please be quiet. Let me introduce myself first. Some of you may have heard of my name."

Jia Xu walked down the aisle of the classroom with his hands behind his back.

"My name is Jia Xu, and I am your new teacher. The previous teacher, Zhang Fuwei, was dismissed for making inappropriate remarks. I will be teaching this course for you for the next few months."

The students couldn't hide their excitement and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Is he Mr. Jia Wenhe? I have read many of his books, and he has given me a lot of inspiration in terms of how to conduct oneself in society."

"Me too. Every book by Professor Jia Wenhe emphasizes the point that it is harmful to heaven but not to Wenhe."

"I feel it teaches us that if we can develop cautiously, we should never try to stand out; if we can cultivate steadily, we should never be reckless."

"I don't know what exactly 'heaven and earth' refers to in the phrase 'sorrow for heaven and earth'."

"..."

As they were discussing this, a student couldn't help but raise his hand, and after Jia Xu gave his permission, he stood up and asked:

"Professor Jia, I've noticed that the central idea of ​​many of your books is to prioritize harmony with nature over literature. But if we completely disregard limitations in ability, how does this manifest in practice?"

After a moment of contemplation, Jia Xu slowly spoke.

"As we all know, Shrek Academy poses a significant threat to our Sun Moon Empire, so..."

The students stared intently at Jia Xu, waiting for him to continue. Huo Yuhao was also curious about what Jia Wenhe and his teacher would do.

"If we can break through the limitations of soul guidance technology, the so-called harm to Heaven but not to Wenhe can be specifically manifested in... using several level 10 or higher fixed-mount soul guidance shells to destroy Shrek Academy."

"This should be considered against the will of Heaven, but it doesn't harm us."

As the students were in an uproar, their admiration for Jia Wen and their teacher soared. To them, the idea of ​​blowing up Shrek Academy was incredibly grand and inspiring.

Jia Xu clapped his hands, and the classroom instantly fell silent: "Classmates, you are all now Level One Soul Masters, which means that you have officially entered the field of Soul Masters."

"If you've read some of my books, you'll know that I'm a rather conservative person."

"So in today's lesson, I will talk about a soul tool that I have specifically researched and created."

As he spoke, Jia Xu flipped his right hand, and a metal object floated above his palm, its shape resembling a shield.

"This is a defensive soul tool called the Shield of Co-defense."

Jia Xu described its ability as rather unique, allowing it to be applied to Soul Masters of the same level, causing them to suffer two-thirds of the damage he would otherwise inflict.

Soon, as Jia Xu explained the principles of creating the Shield of Shared Defense and the techniques for using it, it was noon, and the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

A group of students enthusiastically surrounded Jia Xu, urging him to continue.

Several girls walked up to Huo Yuhao, and out of politeness, Huo Yuhao chatted with them casually, saying things like "Your eyes are so beautiful" and "Your skin is so fair."

Huo Yuhao responded to each other with the generic phrase, "Yours looks good too."

"Yuhao, Yuhao, look this way."

Just then, a clear and melodious female voice rang out. Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Meng Hongchen waving happily at him from the window, with Xiao Hongchen standing beside her.

After telling his female classmates that his friend had come to see him, Huo Yuhao left the classroom.

Xiao Hongchen was eager to try: "Yuhao, let's go to the Soul Tool Trial Grounds. You use that Soul Skill to assist me in condensing the Soul Tool Cannon, and then we'll test the effect of firing it."

"Brother Xiao, this is going too far. If I'm assisting with the Solidified Soul Guidance Cannon, then I'll also assist you with firing it..."

Huo Yuhao wagged his index finger and said calmly, "That's a separate price."
