Douluo: The True Eye

As the class bell rang, even Wang Dong plopped down on the ground, breathing heavily.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and casually sat down on the ground.

Seeing all the students collapsed, Zhou Yi waved to the distance, and a flamboyant white-clad man floated over.

Two yellow, two purple, three black, seven Soul Rings, a Soul Sage powerhouse with the Life Tree as his auxiliary spirit.

As this Soul Sage powerhouse activated his Spirit Avatar, leaves fluttered down, landing on the students.

The students felt a cool sensation spread throughout their bodies, and their damaged meridians and muscles, as well as the fatigue and injuries caused by the high-intensity exercise, were rapidly recovering.

As the saying goes, give a slap and then a sweet date. As the first class, Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't do anything too extreme to establish authority.

Therefore, she specially used Fan Yu's connections to invite this Soul Sage.

There would naturally be no such treatment in the future, after all, Zhou Yi herself was only a Soul Emperor from the Outer Court, while this Soul Sage was a genuine Inner Court member.

"Wow, the Life Tree, that's a big deal." Feeling his physical strength gradually recovering, Wang Dong exclaimed in amazement beside Huo Yuhao.

"..." Looking at Wang Dong's naive appearance, Huo Yuhao suspected that she had been brainwashed by Tang the Buddha again, otherwise, how could a little princess from the Clear Sky Clan say such a thing?

Seeing the teasing in Huo Yuhao's eyes, Wang Dong's face turned red: "What are you looking at? The Life Tree spirit is rare, okay? Apart from the single-line inheritance of the Nine Heart Begonia spirit, the Life Tree is also unmatched among healing spirits."

Once the healing was complete, the white-clad man left directly, only nodding as a sign of acknowledgment, ignoring Zhou Yi who was bowing respectfully to the side.

The students got up from the ground one after another, feeling the novel changes in their bodies at this time. They no longer cared about the terrifying image Zhou Yi had established earlier and were all chatting amongst themselves.

This was also the effect Zhou Yi wanted. With a combination of strictness and leniency, these inexperienced students would naturally fall into her rhythm. Then, she would expel another 'failing' student.

After a combination of strictness and leniency, she would re-establish her authority, and the remaining students would naturally not dare to resist, allowing her to manipulate them at will.

This time, because there was no interruption caused by Huo Yuhao as in the original story, Zhou Yi directly expelled a student with the weakest physique due to their spirit.

"Alright, now, pack your things and get out," Zhou Yi said coldly.

"Don't be too happy too soon, everyone else. The task I assigned earlier required you to keep running until the class bell rang to count the laps."

"Except for Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, everyone else failed. Originally, according to my personality, all of you would be punished, but after all, I'm not a demon. After all, today is only the first day of your academy life."

"But all of you remember this, it's not that I won't punish you, it's just that your punishment this time is temporarily recorded, understand?!"

Once Zhou Yi left, everyone relaxed.

"Teacher Zhou Yi doesn't seem that bad."

"Yeah, yeah, at least she didn't punish us again."

"Teacher Zhou Yi is actually quite nice."

Listening to these students around her, who could even be described as somewhat naive and ridiculous, Wang Dong, after being reminded by Huo Yuhao, couldn't relax at all.

Although this time Zhou Yi only raised the so-called punishment high, she gently put it down in the end, as if she had spared everyone.

But she did expel a student, and she expelled them according to Zhou Yi's rules, not the rules of Shrek Academy, even if this student was not yet familiar with the others.

Moreover, wasn't the so-called punishment only stipulated by Zhou Yi? But why could the others turn a blind eye to this and even think that Zhou Yi was a 'good teacher' because of her final actions?

Huo Yuhao patted Wang Dong's shoulder: "Alright, stop thinking about it. Class is over, let's go back first. You have plenty of time to think about it, don't just stand here."

After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao took his change of clothes and went to the public bathroom to wash up, leaving the dormitory to Wang Dong.

While washing, Huo Yuhao recalled what he had seen before and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

'Is this the Spirit Avatar? But isn't that just directly enlarging the structure of the spirit within the body, then using soul power as a filling and soul rings as a skeleton to materialize it and place it outside the body?'

'But it seems that it is indeed used as a medium to provide a lot of amplification for the previous spirit ring soul skills.'

'But if the principle is only like this, then can I directly disassemble other people's Spirit Avatars, or even spirits, and directly use their Spirit Avatars to amplify soul skills of different attributes?'

'Or... who stipulated that Spirit Avatars must be used by soul masters? If I imprint the Spirit Avatar on a soul tool in the form of a soul tool core array, can it replace the function of the Spirit Avatar?'

'Or can the amplification provided by such a soul tool be stacked with the original Spirit Avatar?'

'...' His thoughts gradually emptied, and after taking a shower, Huo Yuhao sat outside the dormitory, constantly conceiving and perfecting his ideas.

As for why he didn't go inside? After all, Huo Yuhao wasn't interested in a twelve-year-old kid, and he didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble, or use such means to 'draw closer' to her.

After a while, the door of the dormitory was opened from the inside. Wang Dong had also finished washing at this time, wearing a snow-white shirt and with a rosy complexion.

There were still drops of water hanging beside her cheeks, and she was rubbing her hair with a dry towel. Her neutral and soft face, combined with her pink and blue hair, seemed inexplicably alluring.

If he didn't know that her true form was a woman, such a little boy would indeed make Huo Yuhao want to call out, "Bro, you smell so good."

But knowing her true form, Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't have any extra thoughts, after all, three years of starting, the highest is the death penalty.

Even if he is now in a different world called Douluo Continent, the values that Huo Yuhao has built up since childhood still make it impossible for him to have any extra thoughts about these little girls who haven't even grown their hair yet.

"All done?" Without much further conversation, Huo Yuhao stood up and walked straight inside. After placing and organizing his things, he got dressed and went out.

His destination was naturally the outer院 library. Huo Yuhao needed to seize the time to quickly record and organize valuable books so he could formulate his next plan based on this information.

At the same time, with the help of the newly acquired Level One Soul Power Aggregation Array - Self-Named and Level One Soul Power Conversion Array - Self-Named, and after Tianmeng Iceworm's experimentation, Tianmeng Iceworm successfully intercepted and combined the advantages of these two arrays.

This allowed them to operate within Huo Yuhao's body, further accelerating his cultivation speed.

However, because of this, the route of soul power circulation within Huo Yuhao's body was now even more complex. Ordinary soul masters with lower spiritual power levels would probably be unable to achieve such an effect, even if they knew the soul power circulation route.

'Alright, it's about time to go back.' Exhaling a breath of stale air, Huo Yuhao put down the book he was using as a disguise, and then took a few more books to register for borrowing.

It was already late, and Huo Yuhao had gained knowledge from over a hundred books this time, which needed to be integrated and sorted out. It was time to leave.

The journey back to the dormitory was peaceful and uneventful. Huo Yuhao found that Wang Dong was still awake, seemingly waiting for him.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep so late? We have classes tomorrow." Huo Yuhao casually placed the borrowed books on the table and sat on the bed, asking lazily.

"I'm waiting for you. I have a few questions I want to ask you," Wang Dong said after a moment of hesitation.

"..." Huo Yuhao didn't refuse, simply saying, "Speak, whether I answer or not depends on my mood."

Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong chatted late into the night. Initiated by Wang Dong, the conversation ranged from Zhou Yi, other students, and the academy to chaotic families, countries, continents, and even the entire soul master world.

Huo Yuhao, who initially responded casually, gradually got into the mood and began chatting and joking with Wang Dong about everything under the sun. Apart from things that shouldn't be said, Huo Yuhao also told Wang Dong a lot of things.

Things that Wang Dong, who was born in the Haotian Sect and spoiled by Titan and Niu Tian since childhood, wouldn't know or couldn't imagine.

At the same time, this night also brought Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's relationship a lot closer, and Huo Yuhao's originally somewhat tense heart, due to his transmigration and initial arrival, also relaxed a lot.

'Maybe this world isn't as bad as I thought. Apart from Tang Fozu, everything else seems pretty good? But strength is still the most important thing. The time for relaxation is over, it's time to continue working hard.'

Lying in bed, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, and then his spiritual body once again entered the Sea of Spirit, continuing to complete his planned tasks.

The next morning, although they both slept late yesterday, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, as soul masters, still got up early and went to the cafeteria for breakfast.

"Phew, I'm so full. There's still a while before class, should we go for a walk by the Sea God Lake to relax and digest?" Wang Dong suggested.

"Thank you for your concern, but what about the books I stuffed you with last night? Go back and flip through them carefully. These are all treasures I carefully selected for you," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

There was no way he was going to the Sea God Lake. He would never go there in this lifetime. Whoever wanted to mess with Ma Xiaotao, that crazy woman, could go ahead. He was definitely not going to touch her.

Remembering the books Huo Yuhao had stuffed him with yesterday, Wang Dong's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "What kind of books did you borrow? Unofficial histories of the Shrek Seven Devils ancestors and other Shrek Academy seniors."

"I really don't understand what you borrowed these books for."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Don't you understand? Official histories are revised, making it difficult to see the truth."

"But unofficial histories are not. Unofficial histories from different eras corroborate each other, and with the echo of official histories, sometimes the original historical truth will emerge."

"Only through unofficial histories and anecdotes can a part of the sealed history be deduced."

"If you can see this step, it means your brain is truly working."

"Think about it carefully. Those few books are enough for you to read for a while. I'm going to the library to borrow some new books. See you in class." Waving his hand, Huo Yuhao slipped away directly.

Soon, the day passed uneventfully. The martial soul classification class in the morning and the soul beast age identification class in the afternoon passed quickly.

Huo Yuhao also discovered many flaws in them, that is, the teachers of Shrek Academy are all a group of traditional soul masters whose brains are filled with muscles and soul ring years.

Many of the things they taught were even less detailed and practical than the rigid records in the books.

'It's a wonder they don't have accidents in the Star Dou Forest after learning these things. No wonder the casualties of inner院 disciples are so high. It's purely gambling with their lives to hunt souls based on these things without the care of high-level soul masters.'

'But it is also possible that these are the unique soul hunting ideas of Shrek Academy. After all, compared to the cautious soul hunting teams in general, it is normal for Shrek Academy, which considers itself the number one academy on the continent and whose students are elites, to adopt aggressive methods.'

'After all, being able to jump from a hundred-year soul ring to a thousand-year soul ring, and from a thousand-year soul ring to a ten-thousand-year soul ring, it can only be said that probably no one other than Shrek Academy can pick out such people.'

"Phew, class is finally over. This class was so boring." Wang Dong complained beside Huo Yuhao. It is indeed difficult for students of this age to consciously learn anything.

Although Wang Dong, who came from Haotian Fort, is a bit strange in emotional intelligence, his accumulation of knowledge theory is still very in place, and naturally he looks down on these theoretical courses offered in the first grade of Shrek Academy.

"Let's go, let's go eat quickly, otherwise we won't make it to dinner." Wang Dong pulled Huo Yuhao while running in the corridor.

At this time, Huo Yuhao didn't break free, but heard several students from other classes talking.

"Did you hear? It seems that several students from several classes went missing this morning."

"I heard they dropped out of school, right?"

"No, no, it must be a ghost. I heard..."

"Yes, there are Shrek's top ten incredible things, including the Sea God Lake shrouded in white mist. It is said that several newly enrolled freshmen disappear every year."

"Hey, don't scare me. Where did you hear this from?"

"Of course, it was told to me by the previous senior."

'It seems that this hurdle has probably passed. To be on the safe side, I should stay away from that evil place, Sea God Lake, in the future.'
