Chapter 63
Du Weilen was taken aback, then shook his head: "Twelve years old and only at the first ring, too weak. He must be a rare spirit-attribute soul master. Have you ever thought about how many spirit-attribute soul beasts there are?"
As the head of the Martial Soul Department, he was not only powerful but also had a keen eye. He naturally saw the role that Huo Yuhao's key mental attacks played in the competition, and he could also see that the entire competition was under Huo Yuhao's command. In terms of current ability, Huo Yuhao was qualified.
But when selecting core disciples, one is choosing the future.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi was also taken aback. She had indeed overlooked this issue before. Spiritual attributes were rare, and powerful spiritual attribute soul beasts were even rarer. Given Huo Yuhao's current state, it was very likely that he would have difficulty obtaining a soul ring of a suitable age in the future.
Moreover, spirit beasts with spiritual attributes are not only rare, but if it's just difficult to find a spirit ring, that's fine too. At worst, you can spend more time searching. Shrek Academy isn't some small academy that doesn't even have a complete list of spirit beasts. You can always find one eventually if you keep looking.
The key point is that most spirit-attribute soul beasts have similar skills, with only a few effects. This means that Huo Yuhao will likely acquire similar soul skills in the future, which greatly affects his future potential.
The same applies to the original work; apart from the rare expansion seal and the soul skills from auspicious beasts, other soul skills also have similar effects.
The ninth soul skill from the Evil Eye Tyrant completely overshadowed all the previous debuff soul skills.
"It's alright. The Martial Soul Department doesn't need us, but the Soul Guidance Department does." Fan Yu patted Zhou Yi's shoulder, his eyes gleaming.
"Powerful spirit-type spirit beasts are hard to find, but more ordinary ones are still possible. As long as his spirit power is sufficient, even without a single useful spirit skill, he can still become an excellent spirit guidance system student. I want this core disciple."
"No, not now. If you're willing to do this, wait three years. Three years is enough time for him to enrich his basic knowledge. With his current efforts, he should be able to reach at least the third ring level of cultivation by then. Once he breaks through to the third ring, his future will naturally be bright. Then he can become a core disciple of your Soul Guidance Department."
"Of course I won't neglect one thing for the other. What I mean is not to have him specialize in soul guidance right now, but to have him learn some basic soul guidance knowledge from me first, to lay the foundation for the future."
"He comes to my place to work out every night, right? I was planning to use this time to teach him some basic things. You didn't see that sometimes he would even have a book on the equipment to read while he was working out, and it actually worked quite well. I asked him about the knowledge in the book several times, and he was able to answer them."
"It's just that we'll take him in as a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department now. The resources we'll provide will help him go further. We'll exempt him from the annual Soul Guidance Department assessment based on his research results. This way, it won't delay his cultivation, and he can slowly learn about Soul Guidance. It's better than having no resources at all in the Martial Soul Department."
Just as one's height before the age of twenty determines one's height for life, whether one can break through level thirty before the age of twenty also determines how far a person can go. With a few exceptions, most people who fail to break through level thirty before the age of twenty will find it difficult to break through to the Soul Saint level for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Yi wanted to say something more, but when she thought of the devices Huo Yuhao had researched, and how Huo Yuhao, who had no knowledge of soul guidance, could produce such results, she swallowed her words.
"Sigh...maybe Huo Yuhao is just naturally suited for the Soul Guidance system."
Wang Dong was doing alright; he was just a little exhausted. Xiao Xiao's condition, however, wasn't much better than in the original story.
The "National Treasure" skill is essentially a fusion skill, and its normal effect is a one-time powerful impact and a forced control effect.
Under Xiao Xiao's control, the impact effect of the first soul skill was completely sacrificed, and the special energy used by the second soul skill was amplified, which is why Xie Huanyue was completely under Xiao Xiao's control.
However, the forced change to the soul skill effect and the activation of the special energy of the martial soul that had not been fully awakened were the reasons that caused Xiao Xiao to overexert herself. The impact of lasting one or two seconds less than in the original story was not that great; at most, she would need to rest for one or two hours.
Wang Dong remained stubborn and refused to admit defeat, but Huo Yuhao also wanted to continue fighting, since he still needed to settle the blood feud for Huo Gua.
Fortunately, the intensity of the next few matches is not too high, so we can wait for Wang Dong to take on two opponents while we try to hold off one of them.
"...We must fight for Xiao Xiao, and wait for her to come back." With that, Wang Dong raised his phone to Huo Yuhao, "Hey, are you listening?"
How embarrassing...
Huo Yuhao sighed and raised his palms to press them together with Wang Dong's palms.
"Fight for Xiao Xiao!"
"Fighting for Xiao Xiao..."
Poseidon Island. Lakeside.
"Elder Xuan, how are you feeling?" Wang Yan asked in a low voice, standing beside Elder Xuan.
"Those two little guys are not bad. As for the one you mentioned with the main body martial soul, he's a bit lacking. He probably possesses a skill similar to mental detection."
Putting down the chicken wing, Elder Xuan took another big gulp of wine: "It's a pity that his first spirit ring is only at the tenth level. This is an irreparable flaw."
"But Elder Xuan, he has a true martial soul!" Wang Yan still wanted to try. In his opinion, Huo Yuhao was definitely more deserving of the status of a core disciple than many second-ring students.
Elder Xuan shook his head: "The most important thing about a physical spirit is its potential, its combat mutation. Today's match made it clear that even against a three-ring Soul Master, his spirit didn't show any mutation. In other words, he lacks the essence of a physical spirit. He's too old, his soul power is insufficient, and his first soul ring is only ten years old. Even if he has good potential, he's not what I want, do you understand?"
Wang Yan, still somewhat unwilling, said, "But his martial soul also has innate abilities!"
Elder Xuan, however, disagreed, saying somewhat impatiently, "Talent and ability don't represent everything. Alright, my mind is made up. The other two little ones can be considered as backups, but as for Huo Yuhao, forget about him."
As he spoke, he stood up, grabbed his chicken wing with one hand, and walked away unsteadily with a huge gourd in his other arm. Judging from his faltering steps, it seemed as if he might fall at any moment.
"But Elder Xuan, Yuhao's innate abilities..."
Wang Yan wanted to directly reveal Huo Yuhao's talent and ability, hoping that Elder Xuan could change his mind. As for promising Huo Yuhao to keep it a secret? He swore an oath in the name of Shrek Academy. Director Du and the others were also seniors of Shrek Academy, so why couldn't they know? It was enough to keep it a secret from the other students.
But before Wang Yan could finish speaking, Elder Xuan interrupted him:
"Alright, if you really think he has good talent, then give him a special talent development spot. That's it!"
As he spoke, Elder Xuan vanished from Wang Yan's sight in a flash.
Indeed, talent does not fully represent the strength of a martial soul, but... Elder Xuan, do you not even have the patience to listen to Huo Yuhao's talent?
He didn't have the courage to ask any further questions. Elder Xuan was clearly showing his impatience, and going to Elder Xuan at this point would only be asking for trouble.
For the first time, Wang Yan felt he shouldn't have come directly to Elder Xuan. Perhaps he should have gone to Du Weilun from the start. Given Director Du's caution, he would at least have listened to Huo Yuhao's talent and abilities. With Huo Yuhao's amazing talent and abilities, he might have been able to secure the status of a core disciple.
Unfortunately, it's no use going to Du Weilun now. Elder Xuan has already declared that even if Du Weilun is optimistic about Huo Yuhao's talent and abilities, he won't go against Elder Xuan's wishes for Huo Yuhao's sake.
