Chapter 16: From Useless to Genius! Are You Still Human?

Page 1/3

Huo Yuhao had originally wanted to bring Wang Dong along, but the latter had already unlocked his soul-driven bicycle and was pedaling away with his long legs at great speed, afraid of being dragged away for lagging behind.

“He really is quite the neat freak...”

Huo Yuhao didn’t think much of it and went along with the crowd to change clothes, arriving first at the classroom.

Out of a hundred students, seven had been eliminated, leaving ninety-three.

Fortunately, this time everyone had learned their lesson—no more unexpected troubles, and all returned to the classroom on time.

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief and took his seat in the front row.

“Teacher Zhou, all ninety-three students are present!”

For the first time, Zhou Yi showed a hint of satisfaction, but it quickly vanished.

“Class begins now.”

“Your performance in the recent test surprised me.”

“Huo Yuhao, stand up.”

Huo Yuhao, who had just sat down, quickly rose.

“Teacher Zhou?”

“Report your soul power level,” Zhou Yi said.

“Yes, Teacher Zhou. My soul power is level 15,” Huo Yuhao responded.

There was little reaction in the room; Shrek Academy’s minimum standard was level 15.

But Zhou Yi was quite taken aback!

“Level 15? Didn’t your registration say level 11?”

Now the crowd grew interested—there was an inside story!

“It was originally level 11. I came in through the special admissions channel,” Huo Yuhao said with a sheepish smile—

“But I have a small talent that helped Senior San Shi from the higher grades.”

“He rewarded me with three Mysterious Water Pills, and with four days of diligent training, I increased by four levels.”

The room fell into complete silence.

Four days, four levels?!

Could it be true?

The phrase “diligent training” seemed almost redundant!

“A single Mysterious Water Pill worth a fortune?”

“Oh my god!”

“Yuhao’s luck is simply godlike!”

“I’m more curious—what special ability does Yuhao have to get three Mysterious Water Pills?”

“Yuhao is indeed quite handsome...”

“Pah! Yuhao is not that kind of person! And the Senior San Shi is probably Xu San Shi; he only has eyes for Jiang Nannan!”

...

Outsiders watched for the spectacle, but insiders looked for the real meaning.

The Mysterious Water Pill was indeed miraculous.

But three of them raising a level by four was impossible.

—This substance had resistance effects.

However, Zhou Yi wasn’t prepared to probe further; everyone had their secrets, didn’t they?

That was fine.

She had originally considered exposing Huo Yuhao’s special admission outright, so others wouldn’t use it as an excuse to trouble him.

But unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao proved himself by reaching the passing line.

“You’re quite impressive.”

Zhou Yi rarely smiled—

“You can lead your classmates, are hardworking enough, and your luck is good.”

“Until the new student assessment in three months, you will temporarily serve as the class monitor for Class One.”

“Anyone have objections?”

There was a brief silence, then the room erupted.

“Yuhao as class monitor? I’m all for it!”

“Wow! Having Yuhao as class monitor will be a blessing!”

“A class monitor who takes care of everyone—that’s a dream class!”

...

Zhou Yi focused on the top-tier second-ring grand soul masters like Wang Dong. Aside from Wang Dong, who seemed restless, the others supported the decision.

Wang Dong hesitated for several seconds but ultimately did not stand.

Zhou Yi recalled these two were roommates?

Their relationship seemed good.

She pressed her hand, signaling for quiet.

“Very well, sit down.”

Huo Yuhao complied, and a line of text floated before his eyes.

【Rewrite Huo Yuhao’s destiny, +233 fortune points!】

—This was a special edition from Zhuge Lan; the doubled figure was the real number.

“Huh?” Huo Yuhao was surprised: “Brother Lan, what’s this?”

“I made a prompt to help you know when you gain fortune points, so you can maximize your gains,” Zhuge Lan explained.

Huo Yuhao nodded enlightened.

Zhou Yi began the lesson, and he concentrated on listening.

She mainly discussed the impact of soul devices on the soul master system, emphasizing the importance of the soul master’s own strength.

Her words showed little fondness for soul devices.

“Nonsense,” Zhuge Lan retorted: “Don’t listen to her. Soul devices are the future mainstream. You, Huo Yuhao, can cultivate both martial soul and soul device.”

“Dual cultivation? Great!” Huo Yuhao agreed immediately.

No hesitation whatsoever.

Brother Lan said he could dual cultivate, so it must be true.

The class ended swiftly.

Zhou Yi summarized—

“For the next three months, your main training will be physical fitness.”

“Eat well, you’ll have runs in the afternoon. Class dismissed.”

“Huo Yuhao, come to my office.”

Huo Yuhao heard this and waited at his seat.

*Bang!*

The classroom door was violently thrown open again, and Marzi-haired Ma Xiaotao strode in with long legs.

Ignoring Zhou Yi’s dark expression, Ma Xiaotao fixed her gaze on Huo Yuhao.

“Little Yuhao, Sister wants to see you. Come quickly.”

Huo Yuhao glanced at Zhou Yi—this?

Zhou Yi frowned deeply, looking displeased at Ma Xiaotao.

Even though Ma Xiaotao was an inner academy disciple, was her boldness too much?

Ma Xiaotao was completely unafraid and said loudly—

“I actually heard you say class was dismissed.”

“And I’m here to give you something on my teacher’s orders.”

“If you mess up my teacher’s business, you won’t be able to bear it.”

Ma Xiaotao’s teacher was Yan Shaozhe, a level 95 super Douluo, head of the Soul Device Division, current disciple of Mu, the Pavilion Leader of the Sea God Pavilion, and future reserve pavilion leader.

Zhou Yi truly dared not provoke him.

Forget it.

She had originally planned to take Huo Yuhao to see the Soul Device Division.

But now, it seemed better to wait three months until classes were divided.

“Class is over. What are you looking at me for?” Zhou Yi snorted coldly. “Dismissed.”

She turned and quickly left; there was a passage behind the podium.

“Yo, that old witch entered through the front door earlier, really showing off,” Zhuge Lan said wryly—

“Little Yuhao, why are you so nervous? I can fill you with her teachings with a bit of fortune points.”

“Not to mention some of it is biased.”

“But these little things, once you awaken your spiritual telekinesis, you can scan and learn instantly.”

“Go find Ma Xiaotao. With her temper, she’s not the type to make a big fuss.”

Huo Yuhao watched Zhou Yi leave and rose to approach Ma Xiaotao.

“Sister Xiaotao, I actually have something to talk to you about.”

“Enough, let’s go!”

Ma Xiaotao grabbed Huo Yuhao’s shoulder, unfolding phoenix wings behind her. She soared out of the classroom and landed on the rooftop of the teaching building.

Huo Yuhao, heart still pounding, steadied himself on the railing, still immersed in the rapid flight moments ago.

In eleven years, it was his first time flying like that—he could hardly handle it.

“Haha!” Ma Xiaotao laughed. “Scared already? Here, take this set of flying soul devices. Practice on your own when you have time.”

Her ring flashed, producing a thirty-centimeter diameter disc, which she slapped onto Huo Yuhao’s chest.

*Click, click, click—*

The disc expanded and fitted over his shoulders, forming a half-body armor, mechanical wings sprung out from his back, and jets beneath lifted him slightly off the ground.

He was about to soar.

Instinctively, Huo Yuhao activated spiritual detection and found the flying soul device was powered by soul energy.

He immediately withdrew his soul energy and stabilized himself.

He slowly descended back to the ground.

“Wow, you control it fast,” Ma Xiaotao praised. “No wonder you’re a disciple who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me in the Sacred Flame Sect. Consider this your reward.”

Ma Xiaotao produced a jade-green skull with starry dark blue veins.

This was...
