Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 112 The Moment of Revenge Is Approaching (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

It is worth mentioning that Teacher Wang Yan's new training methods are indeed much more effective than the monotonous weighted running of other classes. With the support of these new training subjects, the freshmen of Class One have grown at an amazing speed.

This is normal. Weighted running does have some effect, but it cannot make up for certain weak areas, nor can it help students strengthen their strengths. As for strengthening each student's strengths based on their individual physical condition, that is simply wishful thinking.

The only effect of weighted running might be to improve students' physical fitness in all aspects to a greater extent, but based on Wang Yan's research over the years, he is certain that even if weighted running improves balance, it is definitely not as good as the combined effect of six targeted training exercises.

After all, while running can indeed train every muscle in the body to some extent, it only trains that muscle; it doesn't mean that every muscle receives the same amount of training.

During running, the muscles in the calves and thighs are the most strained. If someone insists that the muscles in the palms of the hands also receive the same amount of training, then that person's academic level can only be ranked at the same level as Yu Xiaogang.

During the two-plus months of classes, the one who made the most progress was not Huo Yuhao, who had always studied diligently, practicing theory during the day, guiding his soul in the afternoon, and cultivating at night, but Wang Dong, who had always been engrossed in interjecting into the strange tales.

This guy must have been stimulated by something, because he even slept much less each day, so much so that Huo Yuhao was caught red-handed many times just as he was about to tickle him.

In less than three months, Wang Dong's level soared from level 21 when he first enrolled to level 23, almost level 24. This made Huo Yuhao envious, since his soul power level was only about to break through level 23 after absorbing the soul bone, and he probably had to wait another two days.

This guy's cultivation speed is too fast. Should I take the Soul Ascension Pill?

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Wang Dong's rocket-like cultivation speed. In Wang Dong's eyes, he was strong in every aspect of combat, but Wang Dong's cultivation speed was also the same in his eyes. He couldn't catch up with that cultivation speed at all.

"When will I finally be able to eat some heavenly treasures of the highest quality?!"

With a long sigh, Huo Yuhao began to organize his notes from the morning class and some points of knowledge that he hadn't quite figured out when he audited the Soul Guidance Department class in the afternoon.

Regarding Huo Yuhao's continued attendance at the Soul Guidance Department's classes, it's unclear whether Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo made some kind of shady deal. In any case, when Ma Xiaotao came over later, she said that after the Freshman Competition, Huo Yuhao would be able to obtain the status of a core disciple of both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department.

At the same time, depending on Huo Yuhao's performance, Qian Duoduo, or rather the Soul Guidance Department, prepared different rewards for Huo Yuhao.

The reason for including the Soul Guidance Department is that it is extremely expensive, and Qian Duoduo alone simply cannot provide that many high-quality items.

Although he and Yan Shaozhe were the dean of the Martial Soul Department and the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, their resource reserves were not on the same level at all. Huo Yuhao was able to trick Yan Shaozhe into giving him a set of 50,000-year soul bones and a 100,000-year soul beast because Yan Shaozhe could really get so many resources by himself.

However, even if it were Qian Duoduo, he couldn't possibly come up with so many things on his own. The deans and vice-deans of the Soul Guidance Department had to chip in a little bit each to create a reward of the same level for Huo Yuhao. This is why Ma Xiaotao didn't send a message until the freshman competition was about to begin.

The thought that the reward he would receive after achieving good results in the freshman competition would be pieced together from scraps of paper by the deans of the Soul Guidance Department made Huo Yuhao feel a pang of sadness.

Since the deans of the Soul Guidance Department are going through such hardship and still trying to collect rewards for themselves, it would be really inappropriate not to compete for first place in the freshman competition. They can't let their good intentions go to waste.

Filled with the desire for a reward from the Soul Guidance Department, Huo Yuhao put down his notes and entered a state of cultivation once again. His cultivation speed was already slower than Wang Dong's, and if he didn't intensify his cultivation, he would fall even further behind Wang Dong.

"Three months have passed since the start of the semester, and you will soon face your first assessment since entering Shrek Academy. Only by passing the assessment can you officially become first-year students. The assessment will begin tomorrow, and today I will explain the key points of the assessment to you. Don't be nervous, I have great confidence in you."

Wang Yan's gaze swept over every student in the class, revealing undisguised pride and encouragement.

Wang Yan didn't know where his class's average academic level ranked among the ten classes, but he believed that his students had made the greatest improvement in the past three months.

In these three months, even Song Qinghan, who had the worst strength score in the class, gradually improved his deadlift from 100 jin to 180 jin. He also developed muscles in his originally thin and small body, and his overall demeanor was much better than before.

At this moment, the students of Class One, just sitting there, exuded a kind of vigor, giving people a feeling of boundless energy.

"The teacher has been with you for three months and has observed each student's physical fitness, strengths, and weaknesses during this time. Many students can choose either a control or support type of martial soul. Some students are struggling to choose between offensive and defensive styles."

"I made recommendations for each student based on their own characteristics. Of course, the specific choice is up to you. The teacher is just giving suggestions."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood up in perfect unison, took the forms prepared by Teacher Wang Yan, and handed them out to everyone. When they returned to their seats and saw the recommendation that Teacher Wang Yan had left for them, they were stunned.

"Yuhao, it's really hard for your teacher to categorize the two spirit rings you have with a spirit-type martial soul. I heard from Dean Yan that you also have a second martial soul. Just fill in whatever you think is appropriate. Dean Yan will take care of your future development, so I won't make any more recommendations."

Huo Yuhao was stunned when he saw the recommendation message that Teacher Wang Yan had written for him. He looked up at Wang Yan on the podium and found that Teacher Wang Yan was winking at him.

Fine

Huo Yuhao sighed. It seemed that he, as a spirit-type soul master, was indeed heading in the direction of a power-attack type with no turning back.

Since that's the case, let's win the freshman competition with overwhelming force and then officially begin our journey as a Soul Master.

As far as he knew, his half-brother had entered the university in the same year as him.

Remembering the vow he made before gazing into the distance at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion before heading alone into the Star Dou Forest, Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, and his usually calm eyes finally sharpened.

"I told you, this day wouldn't be long. See, it's come so quickly!"

Huo Yuhao raised his head and muttered to himself.
