Using the Spiritual Interference and Spiritual Detection given to him by Tianmeng, he spent a month traveling without incident to Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Huo Yuhao had the help of spirit power and Spirit Ability along the way, avoiding many dangers.
His cooking skills were also excellent, but he was still just a child with no money, and the day-and-night travel had caused him to lose a few pounds from hunger.
Seeing the tech-filled buildings ahead, compared to the cities of the Star Luo Empire, it truly felt like he had undergone Transmigration once again.
Not to mention that the Sun Moon Empire’s territory was already quite large; just looking at the development of soul tool technology, if it weren’t for the bias of that petty man who followed the “way of seeking death,” there was no way the Sun Moon Empire would have lost.
Few people in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms could see this situation clearly.
“Brother Tianmeng, we’re almost there.”
“Finally, we’re here.
This period has exhausted me.
Yuhao, you’re a demon.”
After saying that, Brother Tianmeng in the Sea of Consciousness instantly fell into a deep sleep, motionless.
Huo Yuhao also looked quite embarrassed.
As for why it was so exhausting, it was naturally because of Huo Yuhao.
After all, before returning here, he had read many novels, such as those where a Cultivation Technique runs on its own or pets use their own skills.
Thus, while traveling during this dusty month, Huo Yuhao hadn’t stayed idle.
Before transmigrating back, he had wanted to know why people have spirit power and why they have a Spirit.
Although conditions were limited and he couldn’t research anything too deep, with his intelligence as a Physics PhD, he soon figured out how to make his spirit power circulate on its own.
Although it wasn’t as good as full-focused Cultivate, it allowed him to Cultivate while moving.
If word of this got out, the entire Douluo World would explode.
Furthermore, he had Brother Tianmeng use the Spirit Ability Spiritual Interference and Simulation, while Yuhao only needed to provide the spirit power.
Otherwise, asking an 11-year-old boy to cross mountains and rivers while using Spirit Ability for a month would have ruined him.
“Stop right there.
Beggars shouldn’t come here to beg.”
The guard looked at the ragged Huo Yuhao and told him to get lost with a look of disdain.
“Please, big brother, could you inform the Academic Affairs Office?
The place where I live is quite remote, so I missed the freshman assessment.”
As he spoke, he quietly handed his last bit of savings to the guard.
The guard secretly weighed the gold coins.
Although it wasn’t much, his expression softened at least a little.
“I’ll go inform them.
Wait here.
But let me tell you beforehand, if your talent isn’t enough, they might not accept you.”
“Thank you for the trouble.”
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Then the guard picked up a soul tool communicator.
When he called the Academic Affairs Office, the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy pointed and whispered at the ragged Huo Yuhao.
“What’s going on?
Why did a little beggar suddenly show up?”
“What little beggar?
I heard he’s a boy who missed the assessment and wants to ask the teachers from the Academic Affairs Office for a chance.”
“What?
Looking like that, all disheveled—how could he be any kind of Genius?”
The crowd continued to point and whisper.
Huo Yuhao didn’t get angry.
After all, he was indeed ragged right now.
Moreover, although his body was 11 years old, his mind was much older than theirs.
How could he bother arguing with these little kids?
“Not necessarily.
Although he’s ragged, plain-looking, and thin, his eyes are very full of Spiritual Qi.”
Someone spoke up for Huo Yuhao.
“Wait, don’t you think he doesn’t look like us?
He looks a bit like someone from the Star Luo Empire.”
This sentence suddenly came from the crowd, and the scene instantly fell silent.
Everyone observed Huo Yuhao carefully.
“He definitely looks like he’s from the Star Luo Empire.”
“Kid, how did you run all the way from the Star Luo Empire to us?
Aren’t you afraid of death?”
The onlookers instantly burst into laughter.
“Every single one of you, shouldn’t you be in class?
Do you want your credits deducted?”
A mature male voice rang out, and the surrounding students immediately scattered.
Looking toward the source of the voice, a kind-looking man in his 40s with a serious expression spoke to Huo Yuhao.
“Hello, my name is Lin Jiayi.
I am the Director of the academy’s Academic Affairs Office.
You are from the Star Luo Empire; why did you come to our Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Engineer Academy?”
Although Huo Yuhao wasn’t very clean due to his travels and was malnourished, making him not particularly good-looking, one could still tell at a glance that he wasn’t from the Sun Moon Empire, so the man wasn’t very polite.
Huo Yuhao was a bit surprised.
He hadn’t expected the Director of the Academic Affairs Office to come; he thought it would just be an ordinary teacher.
Normally, Lin Jiayi certainly wouldn’t have appeared.
But since someone from the Star Luo Empire had come this time, he was curious and came over personally.
Thus, Huo Yuhao explained why he had come, struggling to control his tears as he told his story with deep emotion.
Lin Jiayi’s expression softened slightly, but he didn’t relent.
Although he didn’t know if it was true, it was indeed pitiful if it were.
However, the academy was not an orphanage; if the talent wasn’t enough, they wouldn’t accept him no matter how pitiful he was.
So, Huo Yuhao directly played his trump card.
“Director Lin, I have twin spirits.”
As soon as he spoke, Lin Jiayi’s eyes lit up, and his serious expression could no longer be maintained.
“Come with me first.”
Lin Jiayi turned and began to walk.
Huo Yuhao didn’t mind and followed unhurriedly behind him.
The architecture of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was even more extravagant than the buildings outside.
If the outside looked like the skyscrapers of his pre-Transmigration World, the inside was filled with all sorts of futuristic technology buildings.
Sensing through his Spiritual Detection, even a single brick on the ground had obvious fluctuations of spirit power.
It was likely made by some kind of spirit tool and could transmit spirit power.
Passing by classroom after classroom in the corridor, he saw all sorts of spirit tools made by students: melee, long-range, and defensive ones of every kind.
Lin Jiayi brought Huo Yuhao to the Academic Affairs Office.
“You just said you have twin spirits?”
Lin Jiayi immediately began questioning after he and Huo Yuhao sat down.
Huo Yuhao didn’t beat around the bush and explained the situation of his two Spirits.
After all, whether he could stay depended on whether he had the value to be nurtured.
“Director Lin, words alone are no proof.
Please experience my First Soul Skill.”
Seeing Lin Jiayi nod, Huo Yuhao decisively used the First Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection Sharing.
Lin Jiayi instantly felt a surge of mental force enter his brain.
Before he could refuse, it had already penetrated.
Instantly, the scene before Lin Jiayi’s eyes transformed into a 3D, 360-degree view.
He could even see the tiny hairs on a small ant 10 meters away; it was as clear as looking at the lines on his own palm.
Lin Jiayi stood up abruptly, a shocked expression on his face.
“This, this is…”
Although Lin Jiayi wasn’t a Rank 9 Soul Engineer, he was still a high-level Soul Engineer.
If nothing else, this skill alone was something all Soul Engineers dreamed of.
Moreover, this boy not only possessed this divine skill but also had extremely high talent as a Spirit Master—twin spirits, with the primary Spirit being a mental-attribute Body Martial Soul.
He was fully buffed.
“Wh-why would a Genius like you suffer persecution?”
It was truly incomprehensible.
A Genius with such talent should be provided for with every available resource, even if not worshipped.
How could they still be suppressed and persecuted?
Huo Yuhao didn’t know how to explain.
He couldn’t exactly say that his Genius status was a bit inflated—that when he awakened, he only had one Spirit with a Rank of only one, that his other Spirit was a gift from someone else, and that his first spirit ring was a million-year spirit ring.
Who would believe that?
But reality is sometimes even more ridiculous than one can imagine.
As for why he was persecuted, he also couldn’t understand why the Duchess, upon discovering the Duke’s infidelity, didn’t kick them out but instead kept them around to torture them bit by bit.
Nor did he understand why the Duke of White Tiger never looked at that woman again after having his fun, leaving behind only a dagger.
Good grief, was he trying to make the woman kill herself?
Even the capitalists in the World he lived in before transmigrating back wouldn’t dare do such a thing.
