A comparison of the two Douluo, Huo Yuhao, the Lord of Reincarnation

Lin Jiayi led Huo Yuhao through the campus, introducing the various aspects of the campus as they walked.

"Our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is different from other academies. We don't value your soul power level or the quality of your martial soul. What we value is your understanding and passion for soul tools."

He pointed to the neatly arranged buildings in the distance: "Those are the teaching buildings, where classes on the basic theory of soul tools, soul power cultivation, and materials science are held. That's the experimental area, with a dedicated soul tool manufacturing workshop where students can practice at any time. That's the library, housing the most comprehensive collection of soul tool books on the continent. That's the training ground, specifically used to test the practical effects of soul tools."

Huo Yuhao walked and looked around, secretly amazed. Every building here was ingeniously designed and full of technological sense. Students he encountered along the way walked by in twos and threes; some carried books, some held soul tool parts, and some discussed something as they walked.

Lin Jiayi continued, "Our academy's teaching methods are also different from others. Teachers won't force you to learn anything, but will help you find the most suitable direction based on your interests and talents. If you like studying theory, you can study with a theory teacher; if you like hands-on production, you can go to the workshop and follow the technicians; if you like practical application, you can go to the training ground to find a practical instructor."

"But there's one thing you must remember—" He stopped and turned to look at Huo Yuhao, "The academy is giving you a chance, but that doesn't mean you can definitely stay. Before you turn fifteen, you must reach the level of a third-grade Soul Master. Before you turn eighteen, if you reach the level of a fifth-grade Soul Master, you can apply to enter the Mingde Hall for further study. If you don't reach that level, you will automatically withdraw from the academy."

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly: "I understand."

……

The Dark World, Douluo Continent.

Inside the tavern, the people listened intently.

"A level 3 Soul Master at 15, a level 5 at 18... those are quite high requirements."

"It's not low, but they give you a chance! As long as you work hard, you can stay. Unlike here..."

"Unlike what we have here?"

The man didn't continue.

But everyone understood what he was trying to say.

Unlike here, where one mistake can lead to dismissal.

Unlike here, where a teacher's words are like a sacred decree, allowing no room for argument.

Unlike here, where there's only one road to take.

……

Lin Jiayi led Huo Yuhao to the freshman class classroom. As soon as he opened the door, dozens of eyes turned to him.

On the podium, a young teacher was giving a lecture. He gestured for Huo Yuhao to introduce himself.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, his gaze calmly sweeping over the entire class:

"Huo Yuhao, Martial Soul: Spirit Eye, One Ring. Please guide me."

A murmur rippled through the classroom. Some were curious, some indifferent, and others gave him a friendly smile.

Lin Jiayi didn't say anything and turned to leave. The young teacher pointed to an empty seat in the back row: "Sit there for now."

Huo Yuhao walked towards his seat. As he passed a chubby classmate, the chubby boy winked at him and whispered, "From Xingluo? Impressive! We'll be classmates from now on!"

Huo Yuhao paused slightly, then nodded.

……

Above the sky, the screen begins to display the daily teaching activities of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

[At dawn, the students arrived at the classroom one after another. The teacher stood on the podium, holding a basic soul guide core, patiently explaining its structure and principles. When he reached a crucial point, he would pause and ask the students if they understood. If a student raised a hand to ask a question, he would answer carefully, even stepping down from the podium to draw a diagram on the blackboard.]

After class, a student brought out his handmade soul tool for the teacher's feedback. The teacher carefully examined it, pointed out a few problems, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad, you've improved since last week. Keep up the good work."

The second lesson was a guidance session on soul power cultivation. The students sat cross-legged, cultivating their soul power under the teacher's guidance. The teacher would walk around each student, sensing the flow of soul power within them, and then offer personalized advice.

"Your soul power is too restless; you need to pay more attention to concentration when cultivating."

"You're making rapid progress, but don't be greedy. Steady progress is the right way."

The third lesson focused on the practical application of soul tools. Students paired up in the training field and practiced combat using their self-made soul tools. The instructor observed from the sidelines, occasionally stopping the practice and pointing out any problems.

"Your angle was wrong just now; you should have tilted it a little more to the left."

"You two are working well together, keep practicing."

[The afternoon is free research time. Students are free to choose to research in the library, create soul tools in the laboratory, or practice combat in the training grounds. Instructors will not force participation, but will circulate and provide guidance in various locations.]

A student encountered a problem while making a soul tool and went to ask the teacher for help. After reviewing the problem, the teacher did not give a direct answer but instead asked, "Where do you think the problem might lie?"

The student thought for a moment and then shared their thoughts.

The teacher nodded: "That makes sense, but you overlooked a detail—look at this again."

After observing carefully for a moment, the student suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

The teacher smiled and said, "Go ahead, and show it to me when you've corrected it."

……

The Dark World, Douluo Continent.

Inside the tavern, the people stared in disbelief.

"This...this is so different!"

"Yes, at Shrek Academy, you just do whatever the teacher says, but here the teacher guides you to think?"

"Look at that teacher, when a student asks a question, he doesn't answer directly, but instead lets the student think for themselves. What's that called again?"

"Heuristic teaching?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Heuristic teaching!"

Someone murmured, "No wonder Huo Yuhao from that world could become a God King... Growing up in that kind of environment, who wouldn't succeed?"

……

Shrek City, inner courtyard.

Xuanzi gazed at the images on the sky, remaining silent for a long time.

What did he see?

What he saw was a teacher squatting down next to a student, patiently answering each question.

What he saw was that students could interrupt the teacher to ask questions at any time, and the teacher not only did not get angry, but also guided them seriously.

What he saw was the free time in the afternoon, with students moving freely in the library, laboratories, and training grounds, their faces filled with genuine enthusiasm.

And what about Shrek, the school he knew?

It was Zhou Yi who stood on the podium, using her authority to intimidate the entire audience.

It was a relentless, grueling training regimen that pushed every trainee to their limits.

Students who make mistakes are expelled without even a chance to explain.

"Elder Xuan..." Yan Shaozhe's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Our Shrek..."

Xuanzi raised his hand and interrupted him.

"I know."

His voice was soft, but it carried a deep weariness.

"I know."
