Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

Chapter 18 The Sincerity of the Soul Guidance Department

Zhou Yi began her lecture, introducing the types of Soul Masters and the impact of the development of Soul Tools on Soul Masters.

"Soul Masters have been broadly classified into five categories since ancient times: offensive, agile, control, defense, and support. In addition, there are special categories such as the food category."

Zhou Yi's voice was clear: "This is the foundation, but it's also the framework that makes people most likely to become complacent."

The students below the stage sat upright, and Huo Yutong listened very attentively.

"The traditional view holds that offensive Soul Masters should charge to the front, defensive Soul Masters should withstand damage, and control Soul Masters should coordinate from the center."

Zhou Yi then changed the subject, "But in real combat, especially in a life-or-death battle, such a rigid division of labor is a path to death!"

She slammed her hand on the podium, making a dull thud that startled several students who had been daydreaming.

"The emergence of soul tools is completely overturning all of this!"

Zhou Yi raised her voice, "A powerful soul guide ray can allow a support-type soul master to unleash destructive power comparable to that of a power-attack type; a fine soul guide shield can give an agility-type soul master the ability to withstand attacks head-on."

Soul tools greatly compensate for the shortcomings of a Soul Master's own Martial Soul, making combat methods infinitely possible!

The classroom was silent, with only Zhou Yi's voice echoing.

These young Soul Masters from various empires mostly held Soul Guidance Devices in some way, especially those students who originally came from the three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent.

Zhou Yi's words undoubtedly challenged their preconceived notions.

Zhou Yi's course continued, providing a detailed analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, and coping strategies of different types of Soul Masters when facing Soul Guidance Devices.

Her lectures were insightful yet easy to understand, incorporating numerous examples. Even the students who were most opposed to soul tools had to admit that her words made sense.

Although Wang Dong felt that she still disliked soul tools, even the strongest soul tools could not surpass the power of a Title Douluo.

"...So, that concludes today's theory lesson. Physical training this afternoon. No tardiness allowed. get out of class dismissed!"

After Zhou Yi announced the end of get out of class, a sigh of relief and hushed discussions immediately filled the classroom.

In the afternoon, Shrek Square.

The freshmen lined up neatly, and Zhou Yi stood in front of them with a blank expression. Her powerful aura made all the students hold their breath.

There was an incense burner at her feet, with a long stick of incense stick inserted inside to keep track of time.

"The Shrek Academy's freshman assessment is not only an assessment of your martial soul and soul power, but also an assessment of your will, endurance and physical fitness!"

Without a strong physique, even the best soul skills are like a rootless plant!

Zhou Yi's voice was icy, her gaze sweeping over each student like a blade. "Today's physical training is simple: run laps around the square, one hundred laps! Anyone who doesn't finish before this incense stick burns out will be expelled!"

Huo Yutong consumed a large amount of rare and precious herbs in Xingdou, which gave Tianmeng enough mental energy to disguise Biji and Ziji.

After being modified by the Ice Emperor in the far north and drinking the heart's blood of Bi Ji, her physical qualities far surpassed those of ordinary soul masters of the same age.

However, her original physical condition was too weak to withstand so much energy at once. Tianmeng and Bingdi sealed most of the energy and released a little bit every day to slowly improve her physical condition, but 100 laps is still quite difficult for her now.

"Huo Yutong, finished. Time: Excellent," Zhou Yi said. She hadn't expected Huo Yutong to be the first to finish.

Wang Dong was the second to finish. She looked at Huo Yutong's back in front of her with a complicated expression.

Zhou Yi watched as the students, exhausted from completing their physical fitness tests, left the playground one after another. She waited until the students had all gathered in front of her.

On the roster in her hand, several names had been sharply crossed out with a vermilion pen; she had ruthlessly expelled all the students who hadn't finished.

Then he handed the roster to Huo Yutong, who had been standing quietly to the side, "Starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of taking attendance. No one is allowed to be late. If you need to take leave, you must register with the academic affairs office in advance. I need to see the stamped leave slip."

"get out of class dismissed." She looked around, her gaze finally settling on Huo Yutong. "You, come with me to the office."

Huo Yutong subconsciously looked at her friend Xiao Xiao. They had originally planned to audit classes at the Soul Guidance Department after class.

Xiao Xiao understood and quietly mouthed, "I'll wait for you."

Yu Tong nodded slightly, suppressing her slight unease, and followed Zhou Yi's steps.

In the faculty office, an unexpected figure was waiting there—it was Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Department of Soul Guidance.

Upon seeing Huo Yutong, Qian Duoduo immediately put on a kind smile. "Huo Yutong, there's no need to be nervous. I happened to be here today and will take you to the Soul Guidance Department while I'm at it."

"Thank you, Vice Dean Qian. I have a friend who also wants to study in the Soul Guidance Department." Huo Yutong bowed.

"No problem, our Soul Guidance Department welcomes any student who is willing to learn."

When Xiao Xiao saw Qian Duoduo, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable surprise.

Qian Duoduo patiently waited for them to return to their dormitory, shower, and change into clean clothes. She also treated them to a meal in the cafeteria.

Qian Duoduo personally led Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao through several tree-lined paths to the area where the Soul Guidance Department was located. Along the way, he explained the history of the development of Soul Guidance Devices to them like a kind old grandfather.

Qian Duoduo led the two girls directly to the core experimental area of ​​the Soul Guidance System.

"Fan Yu, I'm entrusting these two children to you."

Qian Duoduo gave a brief explanation, patted Fan Yu on the shoulder, and then turned and left, leaving the teacher and students alone.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao immediately greeted Fan Yu.

"I am Fan Yu. Welcome to the Soul Guidance Department. I know you are interested in soul tools, but before you take action, you must first understand what the 'soul' and 'guidance' of them really are."

Fan Yu led the two to a huge metal workbench, on which were placed dozens of metal parts of different materials and shapes, as well as semi-finished core magic arrays.

"A soul tool, as the name suggests, is a device that uses soul power as its energy source and guides and transforms it through a special structure to release specific effects."

Fan Yu picked up the simplest soul guide lamp core array, gathered a wisp of soul power at his fingertips, and gently injected it into it.

The patterns on the magic circle were instantly illuminated, emitting a soft and stable white light.

"Look, this is the most basic 'guidance'. The patterns of the magic array are like water channels, and the soul power is like the flow of water."

The direction, depth, and width of the irrigation canal determine the direction, speed, and force of the water flow.

More advanced soul tools involve attribute conversion, energy compression and superposition...

Fan Yu's explanations are insightful yet easy to understand, presenting complex principles in the most intuitive way.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao listened with exceptional focus.

The theoretical explanation came to a temporary end, and Fan Yu called out to the back of the work area, "Lai Tou, come here for a moment."

Then Fan Yu had his disciple, He Cai Tou, demonstrate several simple soul tools to them.

Fan Yu also took the opportunity to experience Huo Yutong's two soul skills. After experiencing them, he felt that Qian Duoduo had done a fantastic job, and that this was exactly the kind of talent that their soul guidance department needed!
