Huo Yuhao was taken aback when he heard this, but he still stood up.
Right, he had switched classes now. The scolding that should have been directed at Wang Dong was now his to endure.
However, Huo Yuhao thought that the so-called theory of attack and defense mentioned in the original work was a unique teaching style of Zhou Yi. So, the first lesson for all new students at Shrek Academy was actually this?
Sorry, I overestimated you, Little Zhou.
Ning Tian turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao, her eyes flashing with a light. She could see that Huo Yuhao was somewhat extraordinary. How would he answer this somewhat profound question posed by Teacher Mu Jin?
"Soul masters are divided into Assault, Agility, Control, Support, Defense, and Food systems. Among them, Assault, Agility, and Control are inclined towards attack, while Defense, Support, and Food are oriented towards defense," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment appeared on Teacher Mu Jin's face. Although what Huo Yuhao said indeed matched the level of a new student, it did not meet her expectations.
But just as Mu Jin was about to let Huo Yuhao sit down, he spoke again.
"What I just said is completely wrong."
"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough," a male student sitting in the back row, who thought Huo Yuhao had finished speaking and wanted to take a sip of water, almost choked to death on Huo Yuhao's sudden twist.
Mu Jin and the other students in the class were also glaring at Huo Yuhao in frustration. Couldn't he just finish his sentence in one go?
Huo Yuhao gave an apologetic smile to the still-coughing male student, then stood up straight, his eyes gleaming, and began to explain again.
"First of all, everyone think about it, do Support and Food system soul masters have the ability to defend against attacks from others?"
Upon hearing this question, the students in the classroom all frowned.
Indeed, even if Support and Food system soul masters undergo training, their physical strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary strong man.
Even if a Support or Food system soul master reaches the rank of Title Douluo, without special skills for combat, they are still no match for an Assault system soul master, even if that soul master is only at the Soul Emperor level.
"If this were four thousand years ago, what I said earlier would have been correct. But now things are different. There is something that can reverse the attack and defense stances of soul masters. And this thing almost devoured the three great empires of the Douluo Continent," Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"I know, it's soul tools!" a cute-looking female student said with a smile.
"That's right. With the help of soul tools, even Support and Food system soul masters can unleash powerful attacks and possess some self-defense capabilities," Huo Yuhao noticed the smile on Mu Jin's face but his expression turned serious.
"But even so, can Support and Food system soul masters really match the combat power of other systems? This notion is completely wrong!"
Mu Jin was taken aback when she heard this, and a solemn look appeared in her eyes. If what Huo Yuhao said earlier was within her expectations, his current speech had already surpassed them.
"As the saying goes, it's better to give timely help than to add to the icing on the cake. But only children make choices; I want both!" Huo Yuhao said loudly. "The emergence of soul tools is not just to make up for the weaknesses of various soul master systems but also to push the abilities of each system to the extreme!"
"Liner, new students will only be divided into classes after the three-month freshman assessment. By then, I can arrange for Huo Yuhao to join our Soul Guidance Department. If you rush to see him now, won't it be like startling the snake? If Yuan Shaozhe, that old fox, finds out, he definitely won't let Huo Yuhao come to us."
In the corridor on the first floor of the teaching building, Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Qian Duoduo, wore a grim expression as he followed behind an extraordinary woman.
The woman was about 1.7 meters tall, seemingly around fifty years old judging by her face. She had fair skin, neatly coiled black hair, and wore a set of white clothes with gold trim, giving her a sharp and competent appearance. Although she was aging, it was still evident that she must have been a stunning beauty in her youth.
She was the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department and Qian Duoduo's nominal wife, Xian Lin'er.
"Hmph, Yuan Shaozhe, that bastard, never keeps his word since he was young. Do you think that if you bring Huo Yuhao over, and he finds out the truth, he won't use means to send him back to the Martial Soul Department?" Xian Lin'er snorted coldly. "This time, I've come to see the student you recommended, to see if he's worth our investment."
"Sigh, true," Qian Duoduo smiled bitterly. Despite his cunningness in old age, he still couldn't outsmart Yuan Shaozhe. Otherwise, Lin'er wouldn't still be his wife only in name.
The two had intended to go to the freshman class, but they bumped into Du Weilun on the way, learning that Huo Yuhao had transferred to the freshman class nine.
However, Du Weilun did not mention to them what had happened between Huo Yuhao and Zhou Yi. After all, this was a secret of the Martial Soul Department. Before reporting to Yuan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, he shouldn't let the Soul Guidance Department know about this news.
Mu Jin was listening attentively, but when she turned her head, she saw two figures at the door of the classroom, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo.
"Dean Xian," Mu Jin was about to speak, but Xian Lin'er waved her hand at her, indicating not to disturb Huo Yuhao and let him continue.
The two deans stood in the blind spot of the classroom door's field of view, so they were not seen by the other students in class nine. However, they could hear Huo Yuhao's words clearly.
"In the future world of soul masters, soul tools will undoubtedly have an irreplaceable position, which is obvious. However, the use and production of soul tools can be completely separated. Those soul masters with poor martial soul talent, difficult to cultivate, can be responsible for the development and production of soul tools, while those with outstanding talent can use soul tools to enhance their strength."
"What did you mean by 'adding to the icing on the cake' and 'giving timely help' just now?" Mu Jin asked.
Huo Yuhao nodded, but he was somewhat thoughtful. Regarding soul tools, he could sow seeds in the minds of these students, but he didn't want to delve too deeply.
As a reader who had read all four books of the Douluo Continent series, Huo Yuhao naturally knew how amazing the future development of soul tools would be.
But right now, he couldn't present this blueprint to others, otherwise, he would surely be seen as an outlier and rejected.
Huo Yuhao didn't want to become the Copernicus of the soul master world. Little biscuit rolls were delicious, but if he were turned into barbecue, it wouldn't be fun.
Meanwhile, Ning Tian, sitting in the front row, had a strange gleam in her eyes. Huo Yuhao's words just now had given her great inspiration and even pointed out some future paths for her.
