Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

Chapter 67 Yan Shaozhe

Ice Jade Scorpion, the ultimate martial spirit!

Upon hearing what Elder Gong said, Du Weiren was greatly shocked.

Beast King Bow Longlong, the master of the Soul Fighting Zone, and a high-ranking Title Douluo at Shrek Academy, was someone Du Weilun trusted quite a bit in his judgment.

But wasn't Huo Yuhao's martial soul originally the Spirit Eye? When did it become the Ice Jade Scorpion, and even an ultimate martial soul?

Could it be... twin martial souls?

If that's the case, then everything makes sense. Why was the Soul Guidance Department so eager to recruit Huo Yuhao into the department? After all, Zhou Yi, as the class teacher of Class One, had plenty of ways to protect Huo Yuhao.

No, this is too serious. I must report it to the dean.

We also need to inquire about the 100,000-year soul ring in detail.

"Elder Gong, can we ask about this later? Let's proceed with the upgrade assessment first!" Du Weilun said, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

"What the hell are you talking about? Didn't you hear what I said? These soul beasts are all scared out of their wits. They won't recover for at least three days. Let's come back in three days."

Gong Changlong glared at Du Weilun with annoyance, then turned his attention back to Huo Yuhao and asked, "Kid, you..."

This martial soul is indeed very powerful, but it shouldn't be strong enough to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring. Can you tell me why?

Huo Yuhao was astonished by Gong Changlong's imposing manner, as if he were disciplining Du Weilun like a child. Although he did not know Gong Changlong, he did know Du Weilun, the head of the teaching department. Who could discipline Du Weilun like this? It must be a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao replied respectfully, "Grandpa, this is actually one of my skills. I call it a simulation skill. It can distort the space around me through mental fluctuations and simulate other things. The blood-red soul ring is a simulation."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao once again used his simulation skill. The blood-red spirit ring first turned white, and then one became two. However, this time both of them were purple, but they quickly turned white.

Having witnessed this scene firsthand, Gong Changlong couldn't help but nod and said, "Very good ability, but next time, don't simulate a 100,000-year soul ring in the academy without permission. The pressure of your 100,000-year soul ring is only effective on soul beasts. If it were a human soul master, some great soul masters with strong willpower could eliminate its influence. If you do it again, you'll be sent to the beast pen to clean up."

"Judging from what you've said, you seem to be—" Gong Changlong's face showed a hint of curiosity.

"Elder Gong! It's not convenient here. If you have any questions, why don't you call Huo Yuhao aside and ask him privately later?" Du Weilun quickly said when he saw that Gong Changlong still wanted to ask.

Gong Changlong glanced at Du Weilun and nodded slightly. In public, it was indeed inconvenient to let Huo Yuhao reveal too much, after all, a Soul Master's ability is his greatest secret.

Du Weilun glanced at the arena and said in a deep voice, "As you all have heard, due to unforeseen circumstances, this promotion assessment has been suspended and postponed to three days later. The scores of the three who have already passed the assessment will remain unchanged, and they will not need to undergo a second promotion assessment. The rest of the students will be sent back to their classes by their respective homeroom teachers."

"What about Huo Yuhao's scores?" Zhou Yi asked hurriedly.

"Perfect score," Du Weiren said expressionlessly.

Full marks, another full marks!

Although only three assessments were conducted today, all of them resulted in perfect scores.

"The three who have passed the test, stay. The rest of you, disperse!" Du Weiren said after thinking for a moment.

Huo Yuhao's matter is of great importance. He possesses twin martial souls, and they are both ultimate martial souls. He must report this to the dean. Similarly, Tuoba Wukong and Tu Nan Bupo have also demonstrated abilities beyond their years. He must also report this to the dean. Since they have appeared together, he might as well report them to the dean together and hear what the dean plans to do.

Having already learned from Huo Yuhao's example, who knows if Tuoba Wukong and Tu Nanbupo also have things he doesn't know about? Besides Tu Nanbupo, Tuoba Wukong is also entangled with the Soul Guidance Department and has repeatedly identified himself as a member of the Soul Guidance Department.

A twin martial soul, and an ultimate martial soul at that, just like that, given it to the Soul Guidance Department. No one regrets it more than Du Weiren.

Du Weilun glanced at Old Madam Zhou Yi. This woman must have known about Huo Yuhao's situation long ago. Without Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher, pushing things along, the Soul Guidance Department wouldn't have known about Huo Yuhao's situation out of thin air. That girl is definitely siding with outsiders!

That's too serious.

Du Weilun was already quite dissatisfied with Zhou Yi. He knew Zhou Yi's identity well; she was Fan Yu's wife. In the Soul Guidance Department, Fan Yu's status was similar to his, and he was also considered the successor to the dean of the Soul Guidance Department. Once Qian Duoduo of the Soul Guidance Department retired, Fan Yu would most likely become the dean of the outer court of the Soul Guidance Department.

The head teachers of the two classes took the remaining students back. Wang Yan had a lot to say, but seeing Du Weilun leave with Huo Yuhao and two others, he had no choice but to let it go.

The fact that Huo Yuhao possesses both a primary martial soul and an ultimate martial soul, along with two martial souls, on one person is truly unprecedented in his life!

The office of the Dean of Students.

Du Weilun poured a glass of water for the three of them and said, "Please sit down. There are no outsiders here, so please don't stand on ceremony. I remember you were all top performers in the freshman competition, right? That's good, very good. You have lived up to your talent and hard work. This is the first time I've had a face-to-face conversation with you. First of all, Huo Yuhao, Tuoba Wukong, I must offer you a formal apology on behalf of the academy."

"It was my poor judgment that prevented you from becoming core disciples of the Spirit Department earlier. Fortunately, you have enjoyed the benefits of being core disciples of the Spirit Department and your talents have not been wasted. Now I formally extend an invitation to the two of you, hoping that you will stay in the Spirit Department and become core disciples of the Spirit Department."

Huo Yuhao was excited. Du Weilun's apology was undoubtedly an affirmation of him. However, Huo Yuhao was also struggling with whether to stay in the Martial Soul Department. The Soul Guidance Department had been very kind to him. In theory, he could not abandon the Soul Guidance Department no matter what. But did he really have a choice in front of Du Weilun?

Moreover, can a Soul Master really be powerful enough to rival a Soul Master?

If Huo Yuhao hadn't awakened the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul, he would have chosen the Soul Guidance Department without hesitation. But now that he possesses the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, he also has a strong talent in martial soul cultivation. More importantly, Wang Dong and the others are also in the martial soul department. Huo Yuhao is worried that if he refuses, it might affect Wang Dong's cultivation in the martial soul department.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, Tuoba Wukong didn't beat around the bush. He directly took out the gold medal that Qian Duoduo had given him and said, "I'm sorry, Director Du, I'm already a member of the Soul Guidance Department. I appreciate the kindness of the Martial Soul Department."

really.

Seeing this badge, which signifies the identity of a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department—

Wait a minute.

Du Weilun's gaze fell intently on the token in Tuoba Wukong's hand, and his expression changed once again.

This is----

The token of the inner court disciple of the Soul Guidance Department.

Du Weilun's mind raced. Had the Soul Guidance Department gone mad? Issuing an inner court core disciple identity token to a student who wasn't even a second-year student? What secrets was this kid hiding?

It's important to understand that although there's only a one-word difference between inner and outer core disciples, the difference is enormous. Being able to obtain the inner core disciple token means that Tuoba Wukong has become a part of the Soul Guidance Department's own power and is someone that will never be abandoned. To a certain extent, he can already represent the Soul Guidance Department himself.

If there's still a possibility of him switching departments among the outer court's core disciples, then there's absolutely no way he would switch to the Martial Soul Department among the inner court's core disciples of the Soul Guidance Department.

Du Weilun didn't know what kind of talent this boy possessed to become an inner disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, but he knew that this boy had already missed his chance with their Martial Soul Department.

Du Weilun couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, took out a token as well, and said, "Teacher Du, I'm sorry, I'm also a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department!"

Du Weilun felt a knot in his heart, his gaze stopping at the token in Huo Yuhao's hand. He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it was just a token for a core disciple of the outer academy.

However, Du Weilun was even more curious. What did Tuoba Wukong do to deserve being valued by the Soul Guidance Department even more than Huo Yuhao, and to receive the inner court disciple's token in his second year?

"It's alright, Huo Yuhao. You're only a second-year student now, and according to the rules, you can't choose the Soul Guidance Department. If you're willing, you can stay in the Martial Soul Department to continue your cultivation and become a core disciple. I can help you cancel your status as a core disciple in the Soul Guidance Department."

"Tuoba Wukong, since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more. Go back now! Your performance this time was outstanding, and you should keep up the good work and maintain your current form. I have high hopes for you." Du Weilun encouraged him. Since there was no way to win back Tuoba Wukong, he would devote all his energy to winning back Huo Yuhao.

After all, Tuoba Wukong might have some hidden talents, but compared to Huo Yuhao's genuinely displayed talent, he still valued Huo Yuhao more.

"Wait!" Just then, Yan Shaozhe appeared at the door.

"Dean!" Everyone bowed in greeting.

Yan Shaozhe waved his hand, walked up to Tuoba Wukong, and asked, "Kid, long time no see. Would you mind letting me examine your body?"

"Please go ahead!" Tuoba Wukong nodded. Therefore, my martial soul is the original martial soul of another body. When he does not use his martial soul, this body is no different from an ordinary person, and no one can detect anything.

Yan Shaozhe flashed and arrived in front of Tuoba Wukong, grabbing Tuoba Wukong's wrist. Tuoba Wukong felt a surge of bright power coming from his wrist, which instantly spread throughout his entire body.

Soon, Yan Shaozhe released his grip and exclaimed, "A very good physique. No wonder you were able to absorb a second soul ring that is four thousand years old. You truly deserve to be called a person with extraordinary talent. If you continue to cultivate, you might be able to try absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring when you get your fourth soul ring."
