Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 148 Life and Death, Success and Failure, Right and Wrong, Honor and Disgrace (10,000 words per day)

Old Mu was not in a hurry at all. He listened to the debate with amusement, his eyes half-closed. Sometimes he would nod and show approval when he felt that one side made more sense.

This made the two sides argue even more fiercely, as if they couldn't wait to go out and fight, and whoever won would get Huo Yuhao.

"Alright. Lin'er, Xuanzi, both of you calm down. I think if I don't speak up soon, you two are really going to start fighting."

Moon, who had been watching the show with amusement for a long time while sitting in the main seat, finally spoke up.

Upon hearing his words, both sides, who had been at odds, toned down their tone and sat up straight in their seats.

"As the saying goes, 'No investigation, no right to speak.' Wang Yan, come up here and read to everyone what your investigation revealed about Huo Yuhao's cultivation plan since entering the academy, as well as before.

Teacher Wang Yan then stepped forward and calmly said, "Distinguished leaders, based on my visits to Huo Yuhao's relatives and friends over this period of time, I have confirmed that our student Huo Yuhao is a student who is strict with himself and has the qualities of an ascetic."

"Before Yuhao entered the school, his daily study plan was so meticulous that it was enough to make me, a senior teacher, feel ashamed."

"Every morning, I would go to the soul tool repair shop that Ning Ge, a graduate of our school, opened outside the school to work as an apprentice, repairing damaged soul tools and learning advanced soul tool knowledge. In the evening, I would return to my own barbecue shop to make barbecue to supplement my family's income. At ten o'clock every night, I would go to the Shrek Academy Library to study theoretical knowledge."

"Day after day, night after night, without the slightest slackening."

"Even so, despite the immense pressure of studying and working, the student's soul power level upon enrollment was still as high as level twenty-two."

"After enrolling, the student reduced the time spent making barbecue to supplement the family income, working only on weekends until the end of the freshman competition. By then, the student's soul power level had reached level 25, and he was qualified to try to participate in the level 3 soul master assessment."

After Wang Yan finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately quieted down. How many of these teachers could have kept such a strict schedule when they were ten years old?

The other party is just like a tireless machine, methodically planning its every step forward, and then resolutely striding forward in that direction, overcoming difficulties and obstacles step by step to reach its goal.

"Everyone heard that, right?"

Elder Mu smiled and nodded, indicating that Wang Yan could step down. Then he said, "Yuhao clearly has a clear plan for his cultivation and studies. He also knows very well what he should do at what time."

"This child possesses a maturity far beyond his peers, so we have no need to worry about him wasting his talent, nor is it necessary to deliberately divide his study time. This child's plans for himself are also meticulous and comprehensive enough."

"If that's the case, why should we bother with this extra trouble?"

Old Master Mu smiled, and the furrowed brows of the crowd gradually relaxed upon hearing his words.

Yes, Elder Mu is right. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. These people seem to be arguing fiercely, but in reality, they have no idea what kind of child Huo Yuhao really is.

Both sides are worried that the other will waste his talent, but if this child only has talent and no effort, how could he have such a brilliant star at the age of eleven, making the other geniuses of the same age pale in comparison?

"Alright, since neither of you did any investigation into Huo Yuhao before making rash statements and forcibly assigning tasks to him, then let's punish you."

Mu En smiled at everyone: "Neither you from the Martial Soul Department nor the Soul Guidance Department are allowed to assign learning tasks to Huo Yuhao. Let Huo Yuhao study freely. He can freely study whichever aspect he feels he should focus on at this stage. You are not allowed to interfere."

"Don't worry about this child. This child is mature enough and knows exactly what he should do at each stage. The only thing we need to do is to be this child's strongest support and help him grow up healthily."

"If Huo Yuhao wants to study in the Soul Guidance Department, then the Soul Guidance Department should quickly arrange teachers for Huo Yuhao. If he wants to learn about close-combat soul tools, then you should not teach him about long-range soul tools. If he wants to learn the techniques for inscribing the core array of soul tools, then you should not teach him the concept of forging special alloys. Similarly, the same applies to the Martial Soul Department."

"We only need to do our best to provide Huo Yuhao with knowledge when he needs it. As for Huo Yuhao's growth direction, you are not allowed to give any opinions unless the child asks for them. This is also a punishment for you speaking without conducting any investigation."

Old Mu's tone became a bit heavier at the end, making both sides serious, and they nodded with some regret.

There was nothing they could do; all they were thinking about was snatching him away and getting more time to teach Huo Yuhao. Now look what happened—Old Mu's words, "No investigation, no right to speak," have suffocated them.

Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo were alright, since Huo Yuhao had already become their disciple long ago. If Huo Yuhao had any problems with his martial soul or soul guidance, he would definitely come to them for help.

"Since that's the case, then so be it. Remember, don't appear in front of Yuhao too often, and don't interfere too much with Yuhao's life. Cultivation is the most important thing at this age, and the less external interference, the better."

After saying his last words, Old Mu waved his hand.

After everyone had left, Elder Xuan approached Mu En.

"Elder Mu, what about the murderous aura emanating from that child, his techniques, and..."

Moon waved his hand: "And what? You don't have any secrets, or do I not, or do the people of the Sea God Pavilion not?"

Moon glanced at him, then closed her eyes again: "We are an academy, and Shrek's original purpose is education. Don't ask too many questions. If you ask too many questions, the children who originally wanted to develop in Shrek will all run away. As long as he has not done anything to the Crisis Academy, don't pry. It's not a good habit."

Elder Xuan said respectfully, "You are right. I was a little too hasty."

Moon shook his head: "It's okay. People grow step by step, and so does one's understanding of the laws governing the workings of all things in the world. If the timing is wrong, the experience is insufficient, or the conditions are not right, it won't work."

"Without experiencing honor and disgrace, one cannot truly understand honor and disgrace."

"Without experiencing right and wrong, one cannot escape right and wrong."

"Without experiencing success and failure, one cannot truly understand success and failure."

"Without experiencing life and death, one cannot take life and death lightly."

"My body can hold on for a few more years, and you can stay a child under my care for a few more years. But one day, you will have to take this responsibility from me."
