At first, Jing Hongchen was somewhat dismissive, but after being affected by Huo Yuhao's soul skill, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder, no wonder Teacher Xuan praised your soul skill!"
This is indeed an extremely suitable soul skill for a soul master! Your soul skill is truly too powerful. In all my years of life, this is the first time I've seen such an interesting spiritual soul skill. With this soul skill, you are a natural team leader! Even in the history of the Sun Moon Empire, no one's first soul skill has ever been as powerful as yours!
"You flatter me, Dean," Huo Yuhao said.
A smile appeared on Jing Hongchen's face. He shook his head and said, "Huo Yuhao, you are being a bit modest. Your soul skills are indeed very powerful, so you are indeed a good candidate to become a soul master."
Moreover, your Spirit Eye is both a physical martial soul and a spiritual martial soul. If that old bastard who couldn't be poisoned finds out, he'll probably send someone to take you away.
After all, the Spirit Eye is both the eye and the brain, and its position in the body is extremely important! However, now that you have come to Sun and Moon, I will naturally not let that old bastard Poison-Undying take you away!
I just heard you say that your detection range can expand as your strength increases, which is truly remarkable... So, would you like to learn how to make soul tools with me?
"If you can become a Level 3 Soul Master within a year and a half, I will officially accept you as my student!"
He had known for a long time that the other party's innate soul power was only level one. After the investigation just now, he confirmed that the reason why Huo Yuhao's innate soul power was only level one was mainly due to the deficiency of his body and the blockage of his meridians.
Of course, these deficiencies can be improved through elixirs and rare and precious herbs.
Therefore, in Jing Hongchen's opinion, Huo Yuhao could totally go for the drug-fueled approach, relying on a large number of pills and rare treasures to become a Soul Douluo without losing out, since a Soul Master's combat power is mainly concentrated in their Soul Guidance Device.
It's actually acceptable that the Soul Master's own Soul Master strength is a bit lacking. With the opponent's Spirit Eye Martial Soul and this mutated Soul Skill, he might become an eighth-level Soul Master in the future!
On the other side, Xuan Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with some indignation, "Hall Master, how can you do this! Everything should be done in a first-come, first-served manner. I was here first! Just because you're the Hall Master doesn't mean you can steal students. You should at least be reasonable!"
"Teacher Xuan, what you said is not quite right. You are the teacher, and I am the head of the hall. We are both discovering talents for the Sun Moon Empire."
"So, there's no need to distinguish between first and last in this kind of thing," Jing Hongchen said with a smile.
Xuan Ziwen's face darkened. "Master, you've gone too far. I will report this matter to the teacher in its entirety."
For Xuan Ziwen, he had finally found a promising talent who was even better than Ju Zi in some aspects, so he was naturally unwilling to let go of him easily.
His passion for soul tools is genuine, so he naturally hopes to have a promising talent who can assist him in creating even better soul tools, or that this promising talent can create some outstanding soul tools on their own.
Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. Xuan Ziwen's teacher was Kong Deming, a very powerful level nine soul master who had served as the head of Mingde Hall. Even he had to respectfully call Kong Deming "Old Kong" in front of him!
Because Kong Deming possessed one-quarter royal blood, he was highly trusted by the royal family.
Moreover, it is widely rumored that this person is likely to become the first level 10 Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire.
So he said, "Teacher Xuan, there's no need to bother Elder Kong with this. Let Huo Yuhao choose for himself. Whoever he wants to choose, then he can choose. Okay?"
Xuan Ziwen nodded, then looked at Huo Yuhao, preparing to persuade him, "Huo Yuhao, as you can see, this is the dean of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and also the head of the Mingde Hall."
Although the hall master holds a high position and is a level nine soul master, he is very busy and simply doesn't have time to teach you. He will probably just pass you on to someone else to teach.
"I am an eighth-level Soul Master with the energy to teach students. Although I am not as good as a ninth-level Soul Master, my teacher is also a ninth-level Soul Master. If you show enough talent in the future, I wouldn't mind recommending you to my teacher."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao made his decision: "Teacher Xuan Ziwen, I choose you. I want to learn from you how to make soul tools."
He made this decision partly because Xuan Ziwen indeed had the energy to teach him, while Jing Hongchen was busy with other matters and would definitely prioritize teaching his grandchildren.
On the other hand, in the original work, Xuan Ziwen's teacher Kong Deming later became the world's first level 10 Soul Master. If he could get in touch with Kong Deming, he might be able to make the Ice Extreme War God Armor even stronger later on.
Moreover, even if one becomes Jing Hongchen's student, one will not need the Snow Emperor embryo that one buys later.
The Snow Emperor's embryo will definitely be prioritized for Xiao Hongchen to awaken his second martial soul.
Even if Huo Yuhao reveals exceptional talent in the future, he will not have the right to use the Snow Emperor's embryo.
After all, the Sun Moon Empire had experience in awakening a second martial soul, but not in awakening a third martial soul. Naturally, they could not use the precious Snow Emperor embryo on Huo Yuhao. If they failed, wouldn't it be very likely that both the embryo and Yuhao would be lost?
Based on the timeline, Huo Yuhao will possess the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul in a while, at which point his status in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will rise significantly, making him a peerless genius in everyone's eyes.
Jing Hongchen isn't out of his mind. How could he let a promising twin martial soul genius take such a huge risk to fuse with the Snow Empress's embryo? Even if others can't recognize the Snow Empress's embryo, they can recognize that it's a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!
In the Douluo Continent, twin martial souls are rare, and triple martial souls are unheard of. Therefore, instead of trying to awaken a triple martial soul for Huo Yuhao, it would be better to let Xiao Hongchen awaken a twin martial soul.
"So, we can only wait for the Body Sect to make a move and rely on the Poison Undying to make a big splash, otherwise we won't be able to get the Snow Emperor's embryo! Of course, as long as I don't go to the Haotian Sect in the early stages, the Snow Emperor won't become a soul spirit, and Elder Yi won't die."
Of course, although he was prepared to wait for the Body Sect to launch a major attack, he did not intend to cause the Mingde Hall to suffer a large number of casualties as in the original story. After all, he had already reached the Sun and Moon stage, so he naturally had to consider the Sun and Moon's future.
"Alright, Teacher Xuan, since Huo Yuhao has made his choice, I won't bother him any longer." Jing Hongchen waved his hand and left with a hint of helplessness.
Beside him, Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao, reached out and touched the storage soul tool at his waist, then took out two wooden boxes. "These contain a Profound Water Pill and a Soul Ascension Pill, as a gift from me to you."
The Mysterious Water Pill has a mild medicinal effect and can help you remove impurities from your body and enhance your soul power. The Soul Ascension Pill also has a mild medicinal effect and can similarly help you enhance your soul power.
"Thank you, Teacher Xuan." Huo Yuhao looked at the man with some gratitude.
These two pills are actually very expensive.
However, as everyone knows, one of the biggest characteristics of Soul Masters is that they are rich. After all, Soul Tools sell very well in Douluo Continent, so high-level Soul Masters are in high demand.
As an eighth-level Soul Master and the chief researcher of Mingde Hall, Xuan Ziwen is naturally quite wealthy. For example, even in the auction house, if a Soul Tool has the name of being manufactured by Mingde Hall, the auction house dares to set a higher starting price.
This can be considered a brand effect of the Douluo Continent version.
Therefore, even though these two pills are worth a fortune, they are not actually expensive for Xuan Ziwen.
"Okay, come find me in the experimental area after your class tomorrow. I'm going to teach you how to make soul tools. If you can pass the Level 2 Soul Tool Master assessment within a year, you'll be my student."
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Teacher Xuan. I will work hard."
Huo Yuhao was full of confidence at this moment.
After all, in the original novel, Huo Qubing was indeed a very talented Soul Master.
Although the Soul Master assessment at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is more difficult than that at Shrek Academy, with his talent, becoming a Level 2 Soul Master within a year would be a piece of cake.
Chapter 9: Direct Blue Silver Entanglement!
After all, in the original novel, when Huo was at Shrek Academy, he became a Level 2 Soul Master in just eight months and broke the record of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.
This is actually an extremely terrifying achievement.
After all, Shrek Little Curly King Huo Gua usually attends classes with Zhou Yi, and only goes to the Soul Guidance Department to study after class. He doesn't put all his energy into learning how to make soul tools.
Of course, for Huo Yuhao now, if he wants to become a level two Soul Master, he certainly won't need to spend eight months.
At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the mainstream goal is to become a Soul Master, rather than a Soul Master.
Even though the Sun Moon Empire's loss to Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy led to an increased emphasis on Soul Masters, it did not shake the mainstream status of Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire.
After all, in the eyes of most Sun Moon people, the main reason they lost to Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy back then was because they did not have powerful enough soul tools and soul masters.
As for the cultivation of Soul Masters, all they need to do is accumulate Soul Power level as much as possible!
Of course, at Shrek Academy, it's the other way around. Most people at Shrek Academy value martial soul cultivation, while soul masters are not the mainstream.
This is one of the reasons why Shrek Academy's achievements in soul tools lag far behind those of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
"Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Xuan Ziwen turned and left. He needed to go back and continue developing soul tools, so he couldn't stay here any longer.
"Goodbye, Teacher Xuan!" Huo Yuhao said goodbye to him politely.
"Yuhao, let me take you to your dormitory. You can start classes officially tomorrow. I'll put you in Class 1 of the first year," Teacher Tang said with a smile.
"Okay, Teacher Tang." Huo Yuhao nodded, then followed Teacher Tang away.
At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the so-called first-year students are basically first-level soul masters or those who are preparing to become first-level soul masters.
Students can advance to the second year as long as they pass the Level 2 Soul Master assessment.
.......
"I didn't expect Huo Yuhao to actually be swayed by Xuan Ziwen. Isn't having Ju Zi as a disciple enough for Xuan Ziwen? Could this be the Crown Prince's instruction? Has Xuan Ziwen sided with the Crown Prince?"
No, Xuan Ziwen is someone who is only interested in soul tools and could not possibly participate in the extremely brutal battle for the throne. After all, even those with royal blood can be beheaded if they are not careful.
Even the late emperor died from what was supposedly food poisoning.
Jing Hongchen returned to her residence, her mind churning with thoughts. The so-called Ju Zi was Xuan Ziwen's disciple, but of course, Ju Zi also had another identity—the Crown Prince's person.
The reason why Ju Zi became Xuan Ziwen's disciple, rather than his disciple.
The main reason is that he doesn't want to get involved with the Crown Prince right now.
After all, he is the head of Mingde Hall and the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Whoever ascends the throne will eventually have to win him over.
Taking sides too early would not be in his current interest.
After all, choosing sides too early carries the risk of failure. Although he is a level nine soul master, as long as he doesn't go too far, he is unlikely to be killed or imprisoned even if he fails to choose a side.
However, losing a side means losing power, and it's uncertain whether he can retain his position as the head of Mingde Hall.
Thinking of this, he rubbed his temples. "Forget it, I'll stop thinking about Huo Yuhao for now."
For him, this was just a minor incident.
Huo Yuhao's soul skills are very interesting, and his martial soul is also very special, so he can be considered a little genius.
However, Jing Hongchen had seen far more geniuses than Huo Yuhao, and there were indeed people more talented than Huo Yuhao at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
For example, his grandson Xiao Hongchen and granddaughter Meng Hongchen are both undeniably geniuses. Compared to Huo Yuhao, who has not yet shown much brilliance, his grandson and granddaughter are undoubtedly more dazzling.
For Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are his pride.
"However, even Xiaoxiao and Xiaomeng would find it difficult to defeat Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament."
In the next major competition, they can only participate as reserve players; in the competition after that, they can participate as regular players.
Thinking about this, he felt a little depressed.
Logically speaking, before reaching the Soul Saint level, Soul Masters should have a significant advantage over Soul Masters.
Over the years, no Soul Master has ever been among the participants sent by various academies to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.
After all, there are age restrictions for participating in the competition, and it is basically impossible for a Contra player under the age of twenty to appear.
However, even under these circumstances, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has never defeated Shrek Academy in the Soul Battle Tournament, which has become a heavy burden on the minds of all Sun Moon members.
"We probably won't win the next tournament, but we should be able to win the tournament after that. After all, Xiaoxiao and Xiaomeng will be able to participate as regular team members by then!"
Jing Hongchen was full of confidence at this moment, ready to watch his grandchildren display their great power.
.......
"This is my dorm room?"
Huo Yuhao stood in the dormitory and looked around. He found that the dormitory was very spacious and had all kinds of furniture. His face immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Yes, of course it's your dormitory, and it's a single room. Our academy is always very wealthy because we frequently sell soul tools, so we naturally have the financial resources to provide students with safe and comfortable living conditions."
Some colleges, under the guise of fostering roommate relationships, have set up cramped double dorm rooms, completely disregarding the possibility of heated disputes arising if students don't manage their roommate relationships well.
