Chapter 65 No Madness, No Demon
Elder Mu chuckled, his voice slightly hoarse. "You're all too caught up in the situation to understand it. Since this child hasn't neglected either cultivation, why not cultivate both systems simultaneously?"
Yan Shaozhe hesitated before speaking, "However, the cultivation speed of a Soul Master with extreme attributes will decrease significantly after level 30, which is why I recommended that Huo Yuhao stay in the Martial Soul Department."
Xian Lin'er completely ignored Yan Shaozhe's words and said, "Teacher, as the studies become more in-depth, they will inevitably require more energy. Studying on both at the same time might actually hinder the child! Being broad but not deep would be a waste of his talent. After all, talent is unique to each individual."
Xian Lin'er subtly reminded Elder Mu that Huo Yuhao might not be as monstrous as Ye Nanxiao.
Elder Mu continued, "Since there's already a precedent, let's be a little bolder. There are many connections between Soul Masters and Soul Guidance Masters. The real difference between Martial Soul Systems and Soul Guidance Systems lies only in their offensive and defensive methods; there's no fundamental difference."
"Our Shrek Academy trains monsters. Even the Soul Masters come from the Monster Academy. They are different from the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire. Shrek's Soul Masters have strong Soul Master foundations. Similarly, in Huo Yuhao's growth, Soul Tools will be a great help to him. We just need to continue as usual and trust this child."
After hearing what the Sea God Pavilion Master said, the elders nodded in agreement, and their expressions relaxed.
"As for how this child will choose in the future, that is his own business. We don't need to investigate his secrets, just like Ye Nanxiao." Old Mu slightly opened his eyes and glanced at the silent Old Xuan.
"Yes, Elder Mu." Elder Xuan nodded in agreement.
With Elder Mu speaking, neither Yan Shaozhe nor Xian Lin'er had any choice but to give up and leave the decision to Huo Yuhao.
Soon, Huo Yuhao received a notification from the academy that he had become a core disciple of both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department, making him the first official dual-department core disciple in history.
As for Ye Nanxiao, he never indicated that he would stay and develop in the Soul Guidance Department; he's just using the space now.
Although Ye Nanxiao did not explicitly join the Soul Guidance Department, it had already become a base for him to slack off.
The next day, Huo Yuhao arrived at the Soul Guidance Department, where He Caitou led him to take the Soul Guidance Master assessment.
Unlike the upgrade assessment for the Martial Soul system, the upgrade assessment for the Soul Guidance system is mainly achieved through combat using Soul Guidance Devices.
When Huo Yuhao entered, some students were already undergoing assessments. Each of the two students had a layer of light shimmering around them, seemingly the light emitted by a defensive soul tool. At the same time, they were also within each other's attack range. Several clusters of light and shadow floated in the sky, as if they were monitoring them.
Huo Yuhao quickly found Ye Nanxiao.
Mr. Ye was slumped in the chair like a salted fish, his eyes lifeless, looking just like a salted fish.
Huo Yuhao nudged He Caitou with his elbow, then gestured to Ye Nanxiao to ask, "What did my brother do?"
He Caitou rubbed his nose. "Nanxiao's soul tools are either too bizarre or ridiculously powerful. Teacher Fanyu didn't let him participate in the test and passed him directly."
Upon hearing that Ye Nanxiao had passed directly, Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Nanxiao with fervent admiration. However, the soul tool next to Ye Nanxiao was a bit strange. It resembled a soul ray device, but its shape was different. It looked like a rectangular object with two handles or something similar at the bottom.
"Brother Caitou, what's that soul tool next to my brother? It looks pretty strange. Is it a new type of soul tool?" Huo Yuhao asked.
He Caitou followed Huo Yuhao's gaze to the strange soul tool next to Ye Nanxiao and said, "Oh, Nanxiao said that's something called an AK47. It can fire tiny granular soul energy bullets. Although the energy bullets are small, they are quite powerful. Nanxiao said that they are compressed energy bullets."
While the two were talking, the two students on the field had finished their assessments, put away their soul tools, and walked off the field.
Fan Yu called out to the next group of students, pointed at Huo Yuhao, and said, "Yuhao, you go first in the next group."
"Here I am." Huo Yuhao walked over and began his assessment.
Ye Nanxiao looked around at the competition with boredom. If it weren't for the AK47 injuring two people earlier, he wouldn't be sitting here. Ye Nanxiao fiddled with the familiar AK47 in his hand and muttered, "I clearly turned down the power."
Those closest to Ye Nanxiao shuddered upon hearing his words. Remembering the horrific state of the two men earlier—their protective energy shields riddled with holes and their armor riddled with charred punctures—they silently cursed, "This is what you call weak?"
Fan Yu arranged three opponents for Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was facing three people directly, including a Soul Master. In a head-on confrontation, Huo Yuhao's chances of winning were extremely slim.
Ye Nanxiao walked to Fan Yu's side, and the latter looked at him strangely, reminding him, "Next time, have your soul tool checked before you use it."
"Surely not? I deliberately turned the power down." Ye Nanxiao scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"Absolutely! I'm afraid you'll tear this place down one day!" Fan Yu said with a serious expression.
A loud bang drew their attention to Huo Yuhao, who was in the midst of the assessment. Seeing that Huo Yuhao had eliminated one person simply by intimidation, Fan Yu looked at Ye Nanxiao again, her expression as if asking, "Did you teach him that?"
Ye Nanxiao quickly shook his head in denial.
Of the remaining two, one named Ye Canying possessed the same clone soul skill as Ye Nanxiao. However, Huo Yuhao had been trained by Ye Nanxiao for so long that he had gained extensive combat experience against Ye Nanxiao's clones, making him quite at ease when dealing with Ye Canying.
"Hmm? Snow Martial Soul?" Ye Nanxiao saw a large number of snowflakes floating from Ling Xue's body, trying to block Huo Yuhao's view.
"What a pity, she was completely crushed." Ye Nanxiao sighed. Ling Xue was facing Huo Yuhao, whose martial soul was the Ultimate Ice, and the suppression effect was terrible.
Ling Xue lost her ability to move the moment Huo Yuhao touched her, and was eliminated.
He turned and charged toward the Night Shadow, revealing a small soul-guided crossbow on his right arm. This was a modification of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow by Ye Nanxiao, and he hadn't thought of a name for it yet.
It adopts a semi-soul-guided, semi-physical structure, which weakens its power considerably. However, when combined with a core magic array such as energy-gathering explosion, it can still easily break through soul-guided shields below level three.
Ye Nanxiao's theory revolves around Tang Sect's hidden weapons, using soul guides in conjunction with the manufacturing methods of Tang Sect's hidden weapons to create this fixed-mount soul guide crossbow.
Therefore, the propulsion of the soul guide device can be used in conjunction with a device similar to a crossbow to attack. This combination of physics and energy, along with customized soul guide crossbows with different effects, allows for the use of different crossbows in different situations. The three Zhuge Divine Crossbows that Ye Nanxiao asked Cai Tou to experiment with were a combination of theory and practice.
The mode can be adjusted for different situations, allowing you to choose between physical mechanism mode and soul tool mode.
This is also why Fan Yu was willing to let Ye Nanxiao borrow his experimental area for a long time, and why he cared so much about Huo Yuhao. These two brothers have brought great help to the Soul Guidance Department. One has unparalleled talent in core formations and formation innovation, and the other is too talented in the production of soul tools.
"We can consider the connection of the seal." After seeing Huo Yuhao easily eliminate Ling Xue by using his martial soul suppression, Ye Nanxiao suddenly had an inspiration and hurriedly ran to the soul guidance table he had been borrowing for a long time to start theoretical experiments.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao in such a hurry, Fan Yu gave a wry smile and sighed, "These two brothers are either crazy or demonic."
Although Ye Nanxiao seemed lazy all the time, once he got motivated, he was just as good as those old monsters who were studying in seclusion deep in the Soul Guidance System.
Ye Nanxiao wondered if he could use the power of sealing in this world. If he succeeded, the safety of the individual soldier plan would increase by at least 20%.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was researching day and night, Huo Yuhao was dragged by Wang Dong to attend a treasure appreciation event, where he ran into Ma Xiaotao, who was looking for Ye Nanxiao everywhere.
Wang Dong, with a gossipy look on his face, quietly asked Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, don't you think the relationship between your brother and Senior Xiaotao is a little abnormal?"
It is said that women's sixth sense is always more sensitive.
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at Wang Dong, annoyed. "What nonsense are you thinking? Senior Sister Xiao Tao and my brother have a cultivation relationship. They also have a martial soul fusion technique, just like us."
Wang Dong's eyes lit up immediately as he said, "A Martial Soul Fusion Technique? I've never seen one before! Let's try it out another day and see if our Golden Path is stronger or their Martial Soul Fusion Technique. What's it called again?"
Huo Yuhao thought about it carefully for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "It seems that it was Senior Sister Xiao Tao who gave it the name, something like Ice Flame Fire Girl."
Wang Dong complained, "This name is so bad. It's better to say 'The withering of our brilliance' or 'Golden Road'. You can tell it was Ye Fox who came up with this name just by listening to it."
Fan Yu's experimental area.
While looking at the red-embossed invitation in his hand, He Caitou walked to Ye Nanxiao's table, intending to examine it with him. Ye Nanxiao caught a glimpse of the red invitation out of the corner of his eye, looked up at it, and asked, "A treasure appreciation event? It's happening again?"
He Caitou placed the invitation on the table and asked, "What? It's open again? This is only once a year, and the treasures are different every year. Nanxiao, are you interested in taking a look? Maybe there are some special treasures this year."
"I'll pass, Nan Nan manages all the money," Ye Nanxiao said, shaking his head, then lowered his head to continue drawing the design on the blueprints.
He Caitou looked at Ye Nanxiao strangely, somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Nanxiao doted on Jiang Nannan so much, handing over the financial power to her.
"Nanxiao, you really love your girlfriend. Good men like you are rare," He Caitou said.
Faced with He Caitou's puzzled look, Ye Nanxiao remembered that in the original work, He Caitou was known as one of the three most doting husbands in Shrek Academy.
Shrek City, Treasure Pavilion.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong walked into the Treasure Pavilion while talking, curiously looking around at everything.
The two went directly to the second floor, walking and stopping along the way, and registered their information under the guidance of the receptionist.
"Hmm, Huo Yuhao? Sister Linglan!" After seeing Huo Yuhao's name, the girl who greeted the two turned around and exchanged a few words with the girl next to her. The other girl then ran away.
Before Huo Yuhao had even looked at many of the display cases, Wang Dong quickly pulled him to a display case where a soul bone was displayed.
This soul bone is presented in a golden-red color and is actually floating in the booth. It looks like an arm bone, and the slender finger bones are full of strange power.
Wang Dong's eyes lit up with fervor. "I can feel it, this is perfect for me!"
Huo Yuhao poured cold water on the idea, reminding him, "Soul bones, you should consider the price."
A gentle voice sounded behind Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, "If you two like this soul bone, you can simply take it."
The two turned around and saw a pretty girl in a white dress, about eighteen or nineteen years old, standing behind them. Her smile was like a gentle breeze. Unlike the other girls, the girl in the white dress was dressed very conservatively.
"My name is Linglan. This Mr. Huo Yuhao is Lord Ye Nanxiao's younger brother. Moreover, Mr. Huo Yuhao is a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy. Every core disciple is a VIP here, and core disciples have an credit limit, so you can take this soul bone for free," Linglan said with a smile.
Wang Dong pointed directly at the soul bone and shook Huo Yuhao, shouting, "Yuhao, quickly help me get this soul bone!"
"Alright, alright," Huo Yuhao asked, "What level is my brother?"
"Lord Ye Nanxiao is our top VIP guest. He has two opportunities each year to take anything he wants from us," Linglan replied with a smile.
"That means I can get two things, two things." Huo Yuhao looked at the high-level soul tool design drawings displayed in another showcase and fell into deep thought.
My dear brother, it's perfectly normal for you to sponsor your younger brother's research, isn't it?
