Good heavens!
Huo Yuhao hadn’t expected this big shot to appear before him.
Lin Jiayi.
His status was roughly equivalent to Du Weilun of Shrek’s outer courtyard.
To think he actually had the time to come see a youngster who missed the deadline—was [Strong Luck] still at work?
Actually, it wasn’t his [Strong Luck], but rather Huo Yuhao’s highly identifiable appearance.
He looked exactly like someone from the Douluo Three Empires, and the guard had reported this observation to the Teaching Department, drawing the Director’s attention.
Before Huo Yuhao could speak, Lin Jiayi raised a hand to stop him.
“Alright, this is not the place to talk.
Follow me to the Teaching Department first.”
Huo Yuhao had no objections and obediently followed the man.
Skydream had hidden in the spiritual sea at the very first moment.
After all, this was the imperial capital of the Sun Moon Empire, full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
In Yuhao’s words, they had to “play it safe.” (A certain 100,000-year-old rabbit asserts that this is truly world-shocking wisdom.)
Huo Yuhao felt no nervousness.
Once inside, he even had the mind to observe the magnificent teaching buildings of the academy.
The buildings were far taller than those in the outer city districts, and a soul-guided lighting system was distributed everywhere.
At night, it could instantly illuminate the entire academy as bright as day.
The academy was filled with all sorts of soul tools.
From the soul-guided airships in the sky to the dormitories and basic infrastructure, almost everything was mechanized and soul-power-driven, exuding the distinct characteristics of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
When they arrived at the Teaching Department, Huo Yuhao secretly used Spirit Detection Sharing to feel the soul power fluctuations coming from the ground.
In his vision, energy-conducting metal lines were embedded in the corridor floor, forming a campus-wide soul power transmission network that guaranteed energy supply for all the academy’s soul tools.
There were also many soul tool architectures he couldn’t quite understand yet.
Indeed, the development of soul engineering technology in the Sun Moon Empire was on a completely different level compared to the original Three Empires and Shrek.
If not for the gap in high-end combat power—soul masters and top-tier soul engineers—the Sun Moon Empire would have launched a war to unify the continent long ago.
Click!
The short, crisp sound of a door opening rang out, then closed after Huo Yuhao followed him in.
Lin Jiayi now looked serious, his small, scrutinizing eyes staring intently at Huo Yuhao.
After a long while, he spoke: “Tell me.
Seeing your travel-worn appearance, you must have suffered a lot to get here.
What is your goal?
A spy?
Or an infiltrator sent by them?”
My name is Huo Yuhao, and I’m about to start lying.
“Director Lin, my name is Huo Yuhao.
I am the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire.
My mother was a servant in the Duke’s mansion, but due to certain reasons, she died because of them.
The people there wanted to kill me, but I found an opportunity and escaped…
There is no longer a place for me there.”
“To survive, and to avenge my mother, I risked my life to come to the Sun Moon Empire.
I want to receive the best education and learn the most advanced soul engineering technology.
I want to become strong and then…
make the White Tiger Duke’s mansion pay!
That is my goal.”
He had hypnotized himself, and furthermore, these things were actually facts, so Lin Jiayi couldn’t spot any flaws.
Besides, as long as one investigated deliberately, these things couldn’t be hidden.
However, this wasn’t a reason for the academy to accept Huo Yuhao.
An unstable factor is an unstable factor.
Even if his identity was real, without talent, he still wouldn’t be worthy of entering the academy’s gates.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head.
His tear-filled eyes looked firmly at Lin Jiayi as he summoned both of his martial souls.
He was going to add fuel to the fire—a fire big enough to alarm the entire upper echelon of the academy.
“Director Lin, my first martial soul is called Spirit Eyes.
It is a spiritual-type body martial soul encompassing the eyes, brain, cerebral cortex, and central nervous system.
In addition to that, I also have a mysterious tool martial soul called the Bell of the End, which hasn’t had any spirit rings attached yet.
Director Lin, I have twin martial souls!”
He intended to show off his talent, but not in front of an ordinary teacher—that would be too stupid.
Who knows which faction a random teacher might belong to?
If any other teacher was standing in front of him, he would have continued to hide his talent.
But the person in front of him was Lin Jiayi!
This Director, who fully had the ability and qualifications to alert the higher-ups, was the perfectly suited “interviewer” to reveal his talent to.
If he didn’t show off now, when would he?
Amaterasu!
Lin Jiayi suddenly stood up, unable to maintain his calm expression.
He stared in absolute horror at the two martial souls displayed before him.
A body martial soul, and a tool martial soul.
Twin martial souls.
Heavens, what…
what on earth was going on?!
Was he dreaming?
He viciously slapped his own face, almost dislocating his jaw.
He confirmed it: he wasn’t dreaming!
It really wasn’t a dream!
Everything appearing before his eyes was real!
This child truly had twin martial souls—a spiritual-type body martial soul and a tool martial soul.
FUCK!
“You…
Yuhao, you have twin martial souls, and the first one is a spiritual-type body martial soul!
Why?
Why would a genius like you be suppressed?!”
He tried desperately to calm his emotions, but his voice still trembled.
Heavens!
What kind of idiots were those people in the Star Luo Empire?!
Such a genius—no, “genius” wasn’t enough to describe the boy before him—with this kind of aptitude, not only did they fail to devote all their resources to cultivating him, but they actually suppressed him and wanted to kill him?!
No, he needed a moment!
The first martial soul, Spirit Eyes, encompassed the brain and other crucial organs, and was a spiritual-type body martial soul perfectly suited for soul tool research.
The second martial soul was very mysterious; he could only tell it was a bell and couldn’t discern its specific traits, but this was already enough.
More than enough!
What kind of pie dropping from the sky was this?
In his heart, he cursed again…
no, he had to thank the Star Luo Empire.
Why was he suppressed?
Could Huo Yuhao say that the original host had mutated martial souls and was actually born with innate level one soul power, and didn’t even have a second martial soul before?
Impossible.
Anyway, he didn’t know why a Duchess would inexplicably bully a woman who posed absolutely no threat to her.
He didn’t know why an entity like the White Tiger Duke wouldn’t visit his “beloved” woman even once in over ten years.
He didn’t know why, after getting her, the White Tiger Duke just left a dagger.
He didn’t know, he couldn’t know anything…
It didn’t matter if he didn’t answer.
Lin Jiayi had only asked casually out of shock.
Right now, his eyes were burning fiercely.
He pressed his hands firmly on Huo Yuhao’s shoulders, his tone rushed.
“Yuhao, tell me, what is your soul power level?
What is the age limit of your first spirit ring?
What is your spirit skill?
Oh, and I promise you, you will definitely enter the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy!
With your talent, you will definitely receive maximum resource allocation for cultivation!”
Lin Jiayi was almost babbling incoherently.
Twin martial souls!
This was a twin martial soul!
And a spiritual-type Spirit Eye at that!
What more could you possibly ask for?!
Huo Yuhao shook his head, his acting skills maxed out as he spoke with self-blame.
“Director Lin, I hunted my first spirit ring myself by accident in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It is a century-old spiritual-attribute spirit beast.
I am eleven years old now, but my soul power is only level 15.
I’m sorry, Director Lin, I’ve disappointed you.”
Disappointed?
Disappointed my ass!
He was so excited he was about to explode, okay?!
