Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 431 A Gentleman Deceives with Method? (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

Huo Yuhao's words nearly made Xuan Ziwen's vision go black.

Damn it, I'd heard that Shrek Academy people looked down on soul tools, but I never imagined their contempt for them could reach this level.

Despite possessing exceptional talent as a Soul Master, he simply lacks interest in the Soul Master field.

"You, you're wasting your talent. Do you even know how gifted you are in logic and engineering? If you continued down that path, you could have created so many amazing things."

Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao with disappointment, unable to bear seeing such a talented student give up on the promising path of becoming a Soul Master.

Geniuses are the ones who can't stand seeing others waste their talents; they know very well how valuable those talents are.

There's an old saying in the world of Soul Guidance Masters: Soul Guidance Technology is like a beautiful but aloof woman who only favors geniuses. As for others, whether it's beauty, power, or wealth, she disdains them all.

Huo Yuhao simply shrugged in response: "But if I used the time I would spend cultivating my soul tool to cultivate for a longer period of time, I could reach the Title Douluo level sooner, and my progress on the path to the limit would be faster."

"you!"

Xuan Ziwen was so anxious that he pointed directly at Huo Yuhao. In his opinion, he simply couldn't understand the thought process of these people from the Shrek Martial Soul system. Damn it, it's a complete waste to not make use of such good Soul Master talent!

The ability to optimize the core circuitry of a soul-guided array is far more promising than making minor, ingenious modifications or adjustments to the finished product. It's equivalent to optimizing the entire underlying logic.

If a God of Soul Guidance exists in the world, then the God of Soul Guidance must be most skilled at optimizing underlying logic; this is beyond doubt.

Those who have such precious talent but don't make use of it are even more despicable than those who have no talent but insist on squeezing into this field.

"You, you, you"

Looking at Huo Yuhao's attitude that martial soul cultivation was the most important thing and that soul tools were just tricks and unorthodox methods, Xuan Ziwen suddenly imagined Shrek Academy's sinister intentions.

Anyway, this kid has the talent to be a Soul Master, but he just doesn't want to learn Soul Tools. If you Sun Moon Academy can refrain from teaching him anything good, then Shrek Academy won't lose out, and Huo Yuhao's Soul Power level cultivation won't be affected.

If your Sun Moon Academy has the ability to get Huo Yuhao to start liking learning about soul tools, that would be even better. We at Shrek Academy feel sorry for Huo Yuhao wasting his talent in soul tools, so we'd really appreciate it if your Sun Moon Royal Academy could help us train our students in this area. Thank you!

Xuan Ziwen clutched his chest in pain. "How can you Shrek people be so filthy?"

Xuan Ziwen is a pure scholar who doesn't care how the soul tool will be used in the hands of the army or what kind of damage it will cause. He only cares about whether he can make a soul tool that is interesting enough.

That's why Xuan Ziwen couldn't resist sending Huo Yuhao to herd sheep in the end, since Huo Yuhao had indeed passed his test.

"You brat, just follow me and learn soul tools. Anyway, you've already passed the assessment. Now if you want to run away, you'll need my permission. You have a few senior brothers and sisters; you can meet them later. I'm going out for a bit. Here's your access card."

Xuan Ziwen tossed aside his access card, clutched his chest in discomfort, and left.

Watching Xuan Ziwen's departing figure, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.

He said that on purpose, of course. People like Teacher Xuan Ziwen have very simple personalities. In their eyes, yes is yes and no is no, and there is a clear distinction between black and white.

Scholars with this kind of personality would never want to see a talented person waste their talent. Even if Xuan Ziwen doesn't accept him this time, Huo Yuhao doesn't mind intentionally or unintentionally revealing his talent elsewhere, not afraid that the other party won't take the bait.

Could this be considered, to some extent, a case of a gentleman deceiving someone with his principles?

After all, if he had a different teacher, Huo Yuhao would probably have had to adopt a different strategy.

As for his optimization of the adder, it is thanks to Huo Yuhao's hard work in spell construction over the years. Compared with the creation of soul tools, the structure of spells is more fundamental and relies more on the adjustment and optimization of logic.

Under such intense training, even if it's just by analogy, Huo Yuhao has a considerable talent for optimizing the logic and craftsmanship of the Soul Guidance Core Formation itself.

After all, no matter how difficult it is to reduce the power consumption of the adder, it's still much simpler than modifying and expanding a simple fireball spell into a meteor shower by adjusting the spell structure.

Huo Yuhao fiddled with the access card in his hand, but his mental probing didn't stop. He kept scanning Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, trying to get as much as possible to make a quick getaway.

Just as Huo Yuhao was sweeping with great enthusiasm, "click—" the sound of the laboratory door startled him, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the door.

She was a young girl, still looking a bit sleepy, but her beauty was so striking that even Huo Yuhao, who had seen many beautiful women, was momentarily stunned.

The girl had long black hair and looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a pair of bright, sleepy eyes, and her skin was really amazing. Her skin was so fair and smooth that you couldn't see any pores. It looked like you could squeeze water out of it if you pinched it.

The same school uniform she wore perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure, and her lazy, slightly naive charm was quite captivating.

However, this seemingly naive girl caused a sudden sense of danger to jump out of Huo Yuhao's mind. Not only that, Huo Yuhao's lower back also began to ache faintly.

This girl is in great danger.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and continued to play with the access card in his hand. There were still people behind him, so there was no rush.

Immediately afterwards, Keke, Zimu, and Wang Shaojie filed in.

"Sister Orange, you're here so early—who are you?"

Wang Shaojie frowned and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was playing with the access card in his hand.

Huo Yuhao put away his access card, stood up and said, "Hello, seniors, I'm an exchange student from Shrek Academy. I'll be staying under Professor Xuan Ziwen's tutelage for a while. Hello."

When out in public, Huo Yuhao represents the face of Shrek Academy, so he still needs to maintain a basic level of decorum.

But before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, the petite Ke Ke shrieked, "Don't try to get close to me! Who's your senior? Did we give you permission to call me that?"

Hearing the other party's sharp and somewhat shrill voice, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown.

Judging from their tone, they don't seem to have good intentions.

Huo Yuhao silently took out his old tool for making a living—a memory bead.

As we all know, besides commemorating meaningful moments in life, photo beads are also extremely useful for secretly filming the Viscountess's affair with her lover, and the current situation that may lead to disputes is one of them.
