In front of the students, Teacher Zhou Yi exuded dominance, but in front of this middle-aged man named Fan Yu, she seemed to have completely lost her assertiveness, speaking amicably, "What I'm referring to is the matter you mentioned last time, about Soul Masters with spiritual attributes using Soul Guidance Devices."
Hearing this, Fan Yu's eyes lit up involuntarily, and his gaze unconsciously fell on the nearby Huo Yuhao, "He possesses a Spirit Martial Soul?"
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Exactly, his name is Huo Yuhao, he's a new student this year. His self martial soul is spirit eyes, of the spiritual attribute."
After taking a serious look at Huo Yuhao, Fan Yu shook his head and said, "No, his body and soul power are too weak. I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to lift the lightest Fixed Soul Guidance Device. And from what I see, his talent is also mediocre, far from meeting my requirements."
Zhou Yi snorted and said, "Are you underestimating my judgment? Indeed, Huo Yuhao's strength is weak now, but his soul skills are quite exceptional. They are the most practical spiritual attribute skills I've ever seen. Huo Yuhao, show him what you can do."
"Oh." As a student, Huo Yuhao could only be a bystander at this time. He immediately executed his Shared Spiritual Detection on the middle-aged man.
Immediately after, Huo Yuhao was shocked, nearly losing his composure. The moment his Shared Spiritual Detection landed on the middle-aged man, that man's eyebrows furrowed slightly. In that instant, Huo Yuhao felt as if a terrifying giant beast had suddenly opened its mouth wide in front of him, as though it was about to devour him whole.
This feeling even roused the Skydream Ice Silkworm that was in deep slumber within him. A cool sensation emerged in his Sea of Spirit, and only then did the shock in Huo Yuhao's heart subside.
The terrifying aura from Fan Yu appeared only momentarily before disappearing, allowing Huo Yuhao's Shared Spiritual Detection to complete the connection with him.
"Huh!" In just a moment, Fan Yu discovered the intricacies of Huo Yuhao's Shared Spiritual Detection, and his normally calm eyes suddenly rippled with waves.
"There's actually such a spiritual attribute skill? How could it be a soul skill from a ten-year soul beast?" Fan Yu looked at the White Soul Ring on Huo Yuhao with a face full of confusion, but more than that, he was pleasantly surprised.
Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn't reveal the matter of the Skydream Ice Silkworm, so once again, the Wind Baboon was used as his explanation.
"A ten-year Wind Baboon?" Both Fan Yu and Zhou Yi wore incredulous expressions.
Zhou Yi looked at Fan Yu and said, "Could it be a Soul Skill Mutation?"
Fan Yu nodded and answered, "Possibly, this little fellow's Martial Soul is a self martial soul and also a Spirit Martial Soul, inherently a mutant existence. And the soul ring from the soul beast he chose is completely inharmonious with his Martial Soul's properties, which triggered a very low probability of mutation. It's already a miracle that a Spirit Martial Soul can absorb Wind Attribute Soul Rings without suffering backlash. Unexpectedly, there was such a mutation; this is probably a miracle that can never be replicated."
"Caitou, come over here," Fan Yu waved to the group of people not too far away. Immediately, one of the young men quickly jogged over.
At the sight of this young man, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be startled. Judging from his face, he should be around the same age as Bei Bei, but he was extremely tall, standing over two meters tall, with shoulders even broader than Fan Yu's. His upper body, bare, revealed dark muscles, and his head was completely shaven. Compared to ordinary people, he was much darker, with an honest face.
"Teacher," the young man greeted Fan Yu respectfully.
Fan Yu pointed at Huo Yuhao and said, "Try firing a Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon, have this kid assist you, and aim for the moving target."
"Yes," the burly young man didn't ask anything, gave a simple smile to Huo Yuhao, and said, "Little brother, come with me."
Zhou Yi said, "Huo Yuhao, just assist him with your skill."
"Okay," Huo Yuhao was beginning to understand some of the reasons Zhou Yi brought him here. He quickly followed the burly young man.
"Little brother, hello, my name is He Caitou, everyone calls me Caitou. You can call me that too," the burly young man said with a simple smile.
Huo Yuhao said, "Hello, Big Brother He, my name is Huo Yuhao."
At these words, "Big Brother He," He Caitou was first stunned, then he gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up and said, "Little brother, you're pretty good."
Even the historians of later generations wouldn't know that the friendship between Asura's Eyes Huo Yuhao and the Source of Destruction He Caitou began with such a simple appellation.
The two arrived at the edge of the testing area. He Caitou slapped his dark waist belt, and with a flash of light, a strange thing appeared in his hand, peculiar to Huo Yuhao.
It was a black metal tube about one and a half meters long with a diameter of around fifteen centimeters at the cross-section. The tail end was slightly thicker, and it was etched with many bizarre patterns.
He Caitou held it adeptly in his hands, and with two presses at the back end of the metal tube, a lid popped open, revealing an opening about twenty centimeters long and ten wide.
With another quick tap at his waist, he had a shuttle-shaped metal piece in hand. He carefully placed this shuttle-shaped metal into the opening exposed when the metal tube's lid was opened, then closed the lid. Lifting the tube onto his broad shoulder with his right hand.
The previously honest and simple-looking He Caitou, as he shouldered the metal tube, underwent a sudden change in temperament. Huo Yuhao, with his spiritually attributed Martial Soul, sensed a strong danger emanating from He Caitou with his keen perception.
"Huo Yuhao, let's begin," He Caitou's voice sounded.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered with golden light as his Shared Spiritual Detection accurately landed on He Caitou. He Caitou's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and he excitedly shouted toward the distance, "Moving target, fire."
On the other side, as if controlled by someone, whoosh, an object resembling a disc shot out from a corner in the distance and flew rapidly toward Huo Yuhao and He Caitou.
A strong surge of Soul Power fluctuation erupted from He Caitou at that moment. The three Soul Rings, two yellow and one purple, lit up simultaneously. The metallic tube on his shoulder seemed to tremble slightly, a thick black halo flowing over the surface of the metal tube. He Caitou's body moved slightly, the metal tube aiming at the swiftly flying disc.
"Boom—" A thunderous roar erupted as the metal tube burst forth a dazzling black light. This sudden surge of airflow nearly caused Huo Yuhao to stumble and fall.
However, the black light did not hit the incoming disc, instead, it missed, flying past it and toward the distance, and then fiercely struck a metal plate a hundred meters away, exploding with a thunderous bang. The massive airflow rebounded back, with He Caitou quickly shielding Huo Yuhao behind him.
The airflow lasted for several seconds before it gradually calmed down, yet the disc that had been shot out fell not far from them, having not left the test area.
He Caitou said with a frustrated face, "Still no good."
Teacher Fan Yu and Zhou Yi had already walked over. Zhou Yi's face looked rather unpleasant, but Teacher Fan Yu seemed to have thought of something and asked Huo Yuhao, "Huo Yuhao, how far does your Spiritual Detection reach?"
Huo Yuhao replied, "About a thirty-meter diameter."
Teacher Fan Yu suddenly understood, "So that's why. No wonder. It is, after all, only a 10-year soul ring skill. It's already not easy to detect so finely within a certain distance. We can't ask for too much. It's just a bit of a pity."
Huo Yuhao suddenly said, "Teacher Fan Yu, my Shared Spiritual Detection will increase its range as my Soul Power improves."
Teacher Fan Yu was stunned. "That's impossible. How can a soul skill evolve?"
Huo Yuhao seriously said, "It really can. Since I've had this ability, the detection's diameter has already increased by one meter. Moreover, I still can't fully control this skill. Perhaps in the future, I will be able to make its range smaller but extend its distance."
Zhou Yi brought him here, and during the subsequent conversation, Huo Yuhao had already keenly sensed that this might be an opportunity for him, although he was not clear about what this opportunity was. He seized the moment to speak up, holding true to the purpose that an opportunity should not be missed.
Teacher Fan Yu looked toward Zhou Yi, and she gave him a slight nod.
Teacher Fan Yu said, "Good. If one day your Shared Spiritual Detection can reach a distance of over a hundred meters in one direction, come find me. I'll teach you how to make Soul Guidance Devices."
"Yes, thank you, Teacher," Huo Yuhao promptly replied with a respectful bow.
Fan Yu waved his hand, saying, "Caitou, take him aside and explain to him what a Fixed Soul Guidance Device is."
"Alright," He Caitou, who had a very good impression of Huo Yuhao, gestured for him to follow and walked to one side.
Watching their retreating figures, Fan Yu asked Zhou Yi, "What do you think of this kid? His ability is indeed very strong. Its role in a team is beyond doubt. Am I being too demanding of him? Yes, if he wants to use that ability in conjunction with a Fixed Soul Guidance Device, it would require a distance of at least one hundred meters. I dare say that one day, if the range of his Shared Spiritual Detection can reach a straight one thousand meters, then he will be the most terrifying auxiliary-type Soul Master on the continent."
Zhou Yi said, "I've only just met this child, so it's hard to say right now. However, as you might have noticed, even though his cultivation is not strong and his physique is weak, his temperament is more mature than his peers. Not every student would have said what he just did. I will keep an eye on him for you for the time being. But if he fails the newcomer assessment this year, I will still expel him. Rules cannot be ignored."
Fan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Watch him more closely for me. Even if he doesn't pass the assessment on the Martial Soul Department's side, as long as his Shared Spiritual Detection soul skill continues to improve, I can still special recruit him to the Soul Guidance Department. I have been devoted to the research of Fixed Soul Guidance Devices for over a decade, and by combining the experience of predecessors, I have finally created the most terrifying soul tool. Now, what I lack is a user!"
Zhou Yi sighed lightly and said, "Don't be too obsessed. You should understand that besides lacking users, the prohibitively high cost of Fixed Soul Guidance Devices is a fatal flaw that prevents their widespread use."
Fan Yu proudly said, "Soul tools are originally powerful weapons that only a select few outstanding Soul Masters can use. I never thought of promoting Fixed Soul Guidance Devices among Soul Masters. If only a very small number of Soul Masters can use them, then Fixed Soul Guidance Devices will become the true trump card of our academy."
"Big Brother He, what is a Fixed Soul Guidance Device?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
He Caitou chuckled and said, "There are many categories of soul tools, too many to explain all at once, but mainly they are divided into Close Combat Soul Guidance Devices and Long-Distance Soul Guidance Devices. Close Combat Soul Guidance Devices are similar to the weapons we use regularly; when infused with soul power, they can unleash even more formidable force. In a certain range, their power tends to be stronger. On the other hand, Long-Distance Soul Guidance Devices use soul power to launch remote attacks. The more powerful the soul tool, the more soul power it requires. That is to say, the higher a Soul Master's cultivation, the higher grade of soul tool they can use."
"Fixed Soul Guidance Devices are a special kind of soul tool that the Teacher has developed through summarizing the wisdom of his predecessors. They are used for remote attacks but do not require a large amount of soul power to be injected. You saw the process I used just now. In simple terms, it separates the soul tool and the attack weapon into two parts. The soul tool only serves to launch and detonate, like the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon I just fired. The biggest advantage of Fixed Soul Guidance Devices is that they consume very little soul power and do not require a strong cultivation to be effective. However, their flaw lies in difficulty targeting, especially against moving targets; it's hard to achieve a hit. But against fixed targets, their power is quite formidable. The only issue is that the ammunition is difficult to make and consumes precious materials. The Teacher usually won't let me fire it casually. The Teacher said that in theory, Fixed Soul Guidance Devices could increase a Soul Master's attack power by ten times. However, the power of Fixed Soul Guidance Devices also has limits, as it ultimately depends on the materials. Therefore, it is destined to be equipped only by a very small number of Soul Masters suitable for using it."
He Caitou's explanation wasn't exactly dazzling or all that clear, but it did, for the first time, open up the door to soul tools in front of Huo Yuhao, giving him a preliminary understanding. He vaguely realized that Teacher Fan Yu must have great achievements in the field of soul tools. Teacher Xiao Ya had said that he would also learn to make soul tools in the future, and becoming a disciple of Teacher Fan Yu would obviously be the best choice.
"Huo Yuhao, let's go," Zhou Yi's voice called out just then.
Huo Yuhao said to He Caitou, "Big Brother He, I have to go now. It was a pleasure meeting you."
He Caitou chuckled and said, "You're a new student this year, aren't you? Work hard. It would be great if you could become my junior brother in the future. The Teacher doesn't allow me to leave this place usually; it's too boring."
After leaving the soul tool testing area, Zhou Yi brought Huo Yuhao back to the outside of the dormitory and said, "Huo Yuhao, you heard everything Teacher Fan Yu said just now. I can only tell you, he is one of the leading soul tool creators in our academy. If you can become his disciple, the sky's the limit for your future. However, you must first be able to stay in the academy. Go and have your meal."
Watching Zhou Yi walk away, Huo Yuhao headed straight for the dining hall. By then, students from other classes had also finished classes, and the entrance of the dining hall was bustling with people.
Suddenly, a figure blocked his path. Startled, Huo Yuhao looked up to find it was Tang Ya.
"Teacher Xiao Ya?"
With a somewhat mysterious smile on her face, Tang Ya pulled Huo Yuhao to the side and whispered, "Little Yuhao, you don't have much money, right?"
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes! Big brother told me that the academy offers some jobs. I'm planning to give it a try after school."
One year's tuition was ten gold coins, plus everyday expenses. Although Huo Yuhao would rather spend all his time cultivating, he still needed to live.
Tang Ya giggled and said, "You are a disciple of the Tang Sect. As your teacher, I should take care of you. I've thought of a way for you. I know the auntie who is in charge of food procurement in the cafeteria. From now on, I can get her to buy an extra twenty fish for you every day. Then, I've ordered a grill for you outside, as well as some charcoal. I've also prepared some seasonings. After school, you can sell grilled fish at the academy entrance. With your skills, you'll surely be able to sell them. The cost of our fish is roughly one copper coin, and after you cook them, selling them for five copper coins each should be no problem at all! That way, won't you have money?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, "Teacher Xiao Ya, that's really a great idea. I have spirit eyes, so I'm very accurate with controlling the heat. Should I give it a try tonight then?"
Tang Ya nodded repeatedly, and finally revealed her ulterior motive, "Well, since I helped you get all these things, when you grill the fish, I want to eat first. Don't worry, I'll buy from you too. As for the materials in the future, you'll have to buy them yourself."
Ever since that day she had the grilled fish made by Huo Yuhao, she had been thinking about it nonstop. After finishing the assessment, she finally came up with this perfect solution yesterday. Of course, she did this without Bei Bei's knowledge.
Looking at Tang Ya's yearning expression, Huo Yuhao understood and smiled knowingly, "Okay, Teacher Xiao Ya, shall we meet here again this evening?"
"Mm, mm. I'll go back first. Oh, I have some good news for you—I've been promoted to the fourth grade along with Bei Bei." Tang Ya waved at him and ran off excitedly.
After a quick lunch, Huo Yuhao returned to his dormitory. Wang Dong wasn't there, not knowing what he was up to. Teacher Zhou had said that they would have more training in the afternoon, so taking advantage of the lunch break, he once again entered a meditative state to cultivate and also to try to recover his strength.
This session of cultivation brought Huo Yuhao a pleasant surprise. After the morning's over-exertion with running, he found that his cultivation of the Mystic Sky Method over this meridian cycle during noon had slightly increased his soul power more than usual. Although it was just a little bit, he was already quite satisfied. He thought to himself that pushing the body to its limits seemed to boost the growth of soul power. His own physical condition was rather mediocre to begin with, so training it would enhance both his cultivation and body—a win-win!
When Huo Yuhao came out of his meditation, he was shocked as he opened his eyes and saw Wang Dong sitting on the opposite bed, staring at him intensely.
"You're back? It must be time for class," said Huo Yuhao, jumping off the bed to put on his shoes. After the morning's events, his relationship with Wang Dong had obviously improved.
Wang Dong asked in a low voice, "Huo Yuhao, I've always been curious about your Martial Soul. You saw mine today, can you tell me about your Martial Soul?"
Huo Yuhao put on his shoes and stood up straight, saying, "My Martial Soul is my own eyes, which I call spirit eyes, with a spiritual attribute. I know what you are wondering about. My soul skill is Spiritual Detection, which is why you couldn't attack me that day—I used Spiritual Detection to predict your actions."
Wang Dong had an epiphany, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect you to actually have a self martial soul. Let's go, we shouldn't be late. I just went out to inquire about something. Our teacher, Zhou Yi, is nicknamed the 'Abnormal Old Witch.' They say the number of students she has expelled is at least equivalent to the combined total of ten other teachers. With a class advisor like that, our luck doesn't seem to be very good."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and smiled, "You can't exactly say that. Teacher Zhou is just a bit stricter. As long as we are equally strict with ourselves and meet her requirements, that is. By the way, I have seen your Martial Soul, but I still don't know its name. Your soul rings are one yellow and one purple. How come your second soul ring can be a thousand-year one?"
Wang Dong chuckled and replied, "Having a thousand-year soul ring as my second one is my secret, I can't tell you. My Martial Soul is the Bright Goddess Butterfly, the most beautiful butterfly on the continent, and it is on the brink of extinction. Having it as a Martial Soul is even rarer than your self martial soul. Later on, you will see its power. By the way, what did Teacher Zhou want with you today?"
The two of them talked as they left the dormitory and headed towards the academic building. Not just them, but probably not a single student from the freshmen class dared to be late.
Huo Yuhao didn't keep secret the fact that Teacher Zhou took him to see Teacher Fan Yu and told everything to Wang Dong without reservations.
"What? Your Spiritual Detection can be shared? Let me try it!" After all, they were just eleven or twelve-year-old boys, and driven by curiosity, Wang Dong excitedly requested it.
Having no choice, Huo Yuhao had to release his Shared Spiritual Detection, allowing Wang Dong to experience it as well.
Everything within a thirty-meter radius suddenly became clear, including that kind of data-like feedback, which left Wang Dong somewhat stunned. It was as if a blind person had suddenly gained the ability to clearly see the world, and this kind of astonishment was what every Soul Master felt upon their first encounter with Huo Yuhao's Shared Spiritual Detection.
And, with continuous use, Huo Yuhao's Shared Spiritual Detection became more and more proficient. While letting Wang Dong feel it, he couldn't help but remember Fan Yu's words and subconsciously directed his Spiritual Detection in one direction, trying to cover as far as possible.
With his focus concentrated, Huo Yuhao did not realize that the faint gold in his eyes had become noticeably more intense and the spiritual fluctuations he released had intensified considerably. The originally omnidirectional Spiritual Detection slowly began to converge forward.
Wang Dong also sensed the changes in the Spiritual Detection. He found that the three-dimensional images on his left, right, and behind him disappeared, and only the one in front remained, which was gradually extending its range.
A few seconds felt longer to Huo Yuhao than a usual quarter-hour of releasing Spiritual Detection. He only felt his Soul Power being rapidly transformed into Spiritual Power and then draining away. In just a moment, waves of weakness had already begun to assail him.
Staggering, he grabbed Wang Dong's arm and managed to steady himself, and the Shared Spiritual Detection came to an end.
"Huo Yuhao, what's wrong with you?" Wang Dong quickly supported him.
Huo Yuhao's face was pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, clearly showing signs of extreme weakness.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand to signal that he was alright and said, "The consumption of Spiritual Power was a bit too much. Wang Dong, when you looked straight ahead just now, how far could my Spiritual Detection reach?"
Wang Dong recalled briefly before saying, "I didn't pay much attention, but it seemed to be about fifty or sixty meters. The spiritual detection in other directions was gone. Only towards the front did the distance increase by more than twice."
Hearing him say that, Huo Yuhao was immediately energized, and even his tiredness decreased a lot, "That's great. It turns out this works. It's just that the consumption of Spiritual Power is too large."
Focusing spiritual detection in one direction and extending the distance, his consumption of Spiritual Power was almost ten times the normal rate. That's why, in such a short time, he experienced excessive consumption of Spiritual Power. However, Huo Yuhao believed that the consumption was so significant because it was his first attempt, and with more practice, there should be further improvements.
Teacher Fan Yu had said that once his Spiritual Detection reached one hundred meters, he could become his student.
After witnessing the terrifying power of Soul Guidance Devices and hearing He Caitou's introduction, he was filled with interest in this magical existence.
In the freshman class one classroom, ten minutes before the afternoon bell rang, the classroom was already full, and unexpectedly quiet, not a single student dared to speak loudly. So sometimes it's not a bad thing for the teacher to be strict, as it is beneficial for motivating students to study seriously.
Since the seating was not strictly arranged, this time Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao sat together. Two children, just eleven years old, were both deep in thought. Huo Yuhao was naturally contemplating the gains and losses from changing the direction of his Spiritual Detection earlier. What Wang Dong thought was unknown.
When Zhou Yi slowly walked into the classroom, the atmosphere in freshman class one instantly became tense, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both snapped out of their contemplation. Although not much time had passed, Huo Yuhao, due to his low foundational Soul Power, had already recovered most of his Spiritual Power and Soul Power; at least he no longer felt weak.
"All stand up, assemble on the square." Surprisingly, Zhou Yi only said this phrase after walking into the classroom, then turned and left.
No one dared to delay. The students quickly left the classroom and followed Zhou Yi to Shrek Square in an orderly and quiet manner.
They didn't see the hint of a smile in Zhou Yi's eyes. This strict, almost abnormal teacher was thinking that teaching freshmen also had its benefits. At least these new students had less haughtiness and were easier to control. Unlike the students in the third year and above, who, because of their achievements, were more arrogant and rebellious.
On Shrek Square, an unknown amount of time ago, a pile of iron chains had been gathered. Under Zhou Yi's command, the students stood neatly.
"Wang Dong," Zhou Yi called out.
"Here," Wang Dong stepped forward.
Zhou Yi said to all the students, "I reviewed your entrance exam scores, along with the morning's test. So far, Wang Dong has the highest cultivation among you. Therefore, I declare that starting now, he is the freshman class one monitor. The position of the monitor is subject to change. Whoever has the ability to defeat him can replace him as monitor. Do you all understand?"
"We understand," several male students who considered themselves strong looked at Wang Dong with a sharper gaze. However, the female students seemed to gaze at Wang Dong with a bit more gentleness.
Zhou Yi pointed at the iron chains in front of her, "These are metal shirts, specifically used to improve physical fitness. Each of you take one. After putting them on, start running laps around the square. From now, run until the class ends at the bell. You can use Soul Power, but not soul skills. Ranking will be based on the number of laps run. The last one will be expelled from freshman class one."
"I want to reemphasize one point. In my class, people are not only eliminated during assessments, but they can be at any time. Today, ninety-one will become ninety. Begin now."
As she spoke, Zhou Yi flicked her foot, and a metal shirt made entirely of thick iron chains reached Wang Dong, who hurriedly caught it and put it on.
When he put on the metal shirt, he couldn't help but his expression change slightly. The metal shirt weighed at least thirty pounds!
Hearing about elimination, the students did not dare to slack off; they rushed to put on the metal shirts. The male students managed slightly better, but most of the female students turned pale after putting on the heavy metal shirts.
Zhou Yi said coldly, "I know, among you, many want to tell me this is unfair, because there are natural differences between the bodies of men and women, and the physical fitness of Tool Soul Masters, Beast Spirit Masters, and Battle Soul Masters also varies. But what I want to tell you is that in my class, everyone is treated the same. Think about it, if you were on a battlefield, would the enemy not kill you because you are a woman or because you are a Tool Soul Master? Start running now."
No matter how much the students cursed Zhou Yi in their minds, none dared to openly defy her. Under Wang Dong's lead, the group charged the track at the edge of the square and began running, bearing the weight of the heavy metal shirts.
No one wanted to be eliminated. Just at the beginning, the spirit, essence and energy of the students' running were dramatically different from the morning.
Wang Dong took the lead, and being at the top in both Martial Soul and Soul Power among these students, he did not slow down despite wearing the metal shirt.
Those few male students eager to compete also dashed out quickly, closely following him.
Huo Yuhao didn't speed up; he was well aware of his body's condition. Zhou Yi had said to keep running until class ended at the bell. And the afternoon class lasted for a full four hours. This was just the beginning! The most rational goal he set for himself was to keep running until the moment the class ended, not to compete with others for speed.
Thus, he was significantly slower than the other students when he started and watched as everyone swiftly passed him by. However, Huo Yuhao remained calm and continued running at a steady and somewhat slow pace.
After only two laps, Huo Yuhao was already the last one, even the female students had passed him. But he didn't seem to care at all.
By the fourth lap, Wang Dong, who was in the lead, had already lapped him. As Wang Dong passed by, he gave Huo Yuhao a look of surprise.
Huo Yuhao simply smiled back nonchalantly.
Zhou Yi stood on the square expressionless, watching the students run; nobody knew what she was thinking.
