Lin Jiayi tapped on the monitoring screen and pulled up the video of the battle.
“Stop, start from here.”
The screen showed Zhang Yi’s attack less than one meter away from Huo Yuhao.
From the surveillance, it could be seen that Zhang Yi’s attack was extremely swift.
However, just as Huo Yuhao made his elbow strike, Zhang Yi’s attack distance was already very close, less than half a meter away.
“What!”
Both Jing Hongchen and the other man exclaimed in surprise instantly.
In the next instant of Zhang Yi’s attack, Zhang Yi seemed as if he had been frozen by a time stop, remaining motionless, while Huo Yuhao’s attack followed up instantly.
This resulted in a situation where it was clearly Zhang Yi attacking Huo Yuhao, but it was Zhang Yi who was sent flying.
The two watched this surveillance replay and remained silent for a long time.
“According to the report, Huo Yuhao’s First Soul Skill is Spiritual Detection Sharing, right?”
“The effect is that he and the person connected to his mind can see a 360-degree three-dimensional perspective, correct?”
Jing Hongchen broke the silence.
“Yes, I have experienced it personally, and his second Spirit has no spirit rings added.”
Lin Jiayi nodded and added.
Jing Hongchen nodded, looking at the surveillance replay and suddenly smiling.
“It seems our new Genius has some little secrets.”
“Then, Dean, should we…”
“No, let it be.
Act as if we know nothing; after all, everyone has secrets.”
Perhaps to put his subordinate at ease, he said to Lin Jiayi, “According to the undercover investigation from the Star Luo Empire’s side, Huo Yuhao is indeed an illegitimate son, persecuted by the Duke of White Tiger’s original wife.”
Hearing this, Lin Jiayi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he really fled here as a refugee, there was no need to be on guard.
Although Huo Yuhao might have some secrets regarding his Spirit and Spirit Abilities, as long as there were no issues in other aspects, hiding details about his Spirit and Spirit Abilities was understandable.
After all, he had only been in contact with Huo Yuhao for less than two days; being cautious toward strangers was a very smart move.
Without such cleverness, it would be impossible for an eleven-year-old boy to flee thousands of miles to the Sun Moon Empire.
Moreover, from the surveillance, one could roughly guess the effect of the Spirit Ability he was hiding.
A Spirit Master of the mental attribute who can make a person stop motionless for a moment must have a skill either of the Soul Shock type or the Mental Imprisonment type.
“You continue to observe for now.
If his talent as a Soul Engineer is good…”
Jing Hongchen spoke after a moment of silence.
“Then I will personally take him as my disciple.”
“Yes.” Although Lin Jiayi had suspected it, he was still somewhat shocked.
The Dean hadn’t even met Huo Yuhao yet, but he already planned to take him as a disciple.
Jing Hongchen was the Hall Master of Mingde Hall.
Aside from Elder Kong, the Hall Master of the Hall of Worship, he was the closest to becoming a Level 10 Soul Engineer and was one of the Peak ninth-level Soul Engineers in the Empire.
After Lin Jiayi left, Jing Hongchen watched the battle once more.
He murmured to himself, “Can you break through the Limit Douluo rank and reach the Level 10 Soul Engineer rank?”
Few people knew the state of the Empire better than this Hall Master of Mingde Hall.
The Sun Moon Empire’s national strength was stronger than that of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and its soul tool technology was even more advanced, but there was a reason they hesitated to start a war.
That was because the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek had too many Limit-level combatants.
Although the Sun Moon Empire also had a Limit Douluo, Elder Kong, who was also a Level 10 Soul Engineer.
However, Elder Kong was too old.
Once Elder Kong was pinned down, the Sun Moon Empire’s shortcomings would appear.
At least for now, Spirit Masters above the Seven Rings were indeed stronger than Soul Engineers of the Seven Rings.
Therefore, even though they knew the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were working hard to advance in the field of spirit tools, they did not act impulsively.
The reason was that the Sun Moon Empire also hoped to learn methods from the original Douluo Empire to improve their own high-end Spirit Master combat power.
Just like Shrek Academy, it could be described in one phrase: there was a gap between generations in high-end combat power.
A mature leader knows the cruelty of war and will not easily start one; once a war begins, it is not so easy to stop.
In the original novel, the reason the Sun Moon Empire initiated the war first was because Xu Tianran ascended the throne and needed a war to prove himself, starting it recklessly.
If the old king hadn’t died, it’s estimated there wouldn’t have been a war for a long time, unless a country felt its wings were fully grown.
Ever since Jing Hongchen knew Huo Yuhao had twin spirits, he had the idea of taking him as a disciple…
Huo Yuhao didn’t know that Jing Hongchen had been paying close attention to him for a long time.
Huo Yuhao walked to Zhang Yi’s side, showing a gentle smile and extending his hand.
Seeing Huo Yuhao’s extended hand, Zhang Yi was a bit surprised, but he saw that Huo Yuhao wasn’t mocking him.
Gritting his teeth, he grabbed Huo Yuhao’s hand and stood up.
Only then did the two lackeys react and run behind Zhang Yi to pat the dust off him.
“You, next time you won’t be so lucky to beat me.”
“Just you wait.
Zhang Yi spoke to himself, and without waiting for Huo Yuhao to say anything, he turned his head with a slightly flushed face and left with his two lackeys.
Huo Yuhao also smiled slightly, not taking it to heart.
After all, he was just an eleven or twelve-year-old kid; he was probably hitting puberty.
Shaking his head, he continued walking toward the Library, his mind replaying the battle from just now.
This was Huo Yuhao’s first battle; it felt like he hadn’t fought since living in that World before his Transmigration.
After all, there was a slogan over there: if you lose the fight, you go to the hospital; if you win, you go to jail.
Most people could only fantasize about fighting through novels and TV.
If he had known he could come back here, he would have signed up to learn how to box long ago.
However, in that scene just now, combined with the data provided by Spiritual Detection Sharing, the Heart-Piercing Elbow attack from Baji Quan flashed through his mind.
It was particularly suitable for his current physical condition and the combat scenario.
Only when the body moves with the mind can one deal the maximum damage at the most dangerous moment.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Library.
Looking at the Library in front of him, which was as large as ten football fields, Huo Yuhao didn’t think it was excessive.
However, when Huo Yuhao passed through security and walked inside, he was stunned.
Most of the things inside were not books.
There were more various Rare Metals and various spirit tool models—close-range, long-range, and even stationary soul cannon shells; he just didn’t know if they were the real deal.
But beneath every item, there was an introductory book.
Huo Yuhao randomly opened a book beneath a stationary soul cannon shell.
It detailed the creator, the design concept, the metallic Materials, the production process, and so on, covering everything.
However, at this moment, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
In the original novel, for this information, Huo Yuhao didn’t know how many times he used Spiritual Detection Sharing every day or how many diagrams he drew.
He was terrified every day, fearing that one day he would be discovered secretly learning, going through immense hardship to scan spirit tools with Spiritual Detection Sharing.
But after scanning them, could anyone other than the Huo Yuhao from the original novel actually understand them?
However, the content in this Library was truly simple and clear, definitely much clearer than the diagrams produced by the Huo Yuhao in the original novel.
Actually, thinking about it, one could guess: if the Sun Moon Empire were very closed-off and didn’t share this information, how could their Soul Engineer culture be so prosperous?
If technology is to develop, it must be made public; if only a few individuals master it, then technology cannot be called prosperous.
The Huo Yuhao in the original novel had no one to teach him and was ignorant, only knowing what was in front of him, while Shrek only taught Spirit Masters how to improve their Realm and never taught culture.
Huo Yuhao was very glad that he had gone to another World to study.
