Chapter 9: The Radiant Goddess Butterfly (3)

  "This question is as simple as it gets, Wang Dong stood up and answered without hesitation: 'Of course, the strong attack, agile attack, and control systems are more inclined towards offense, while the auxiliary, food, and defense systems are more inclined towards defense.'"

  "This is just a stupid answer."

  Wang Dongyi was stunned, "Teacher Zhou, my answer..."

  "Sit down." Zhou Wei interrupted him, waving her hand at him. A strong surge of soul power was used to suppress the rest of his words, forcing him back into his seat.

  "If it were over 4,000 years ago when the Dayan Continent had not yet collided with our Douluo Continent, Wang Dong's answer would have been correct. But in today's time, his answer is completely wrong. Huo Yuhao, you come tell me, why?"

  Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "This Teacher Zhou is really going all out against me and Wang Dong today. Fortunately, I wasn't expelled." As he pondered, an idea suddenly struck him, and he stood up, saying: "Because of the Soul Guidance Device."

  Zhou Wei's serious face finally softened a bit, "You're not too stupid after all, no wonder you became an invited student. Exactly, it's because of the emergence of the Soul Guide that led to the blurring of offense and defense, which is also today's topic. Sit down."

  "I believe everyone is clear that over the past few thousand years, soul-guiding instruments have developed rapidly. The Day and Night Continent brought more rare materials and basic manufacturing methods for soul-guiding instruments. After several thousand years of development, the production of soul-guiding instruments has become increasingly sophisticated, and their power has also increased greatly. This has resulted in even a food system instrument soul master holding a powerful enough soul-guiding instrument being able to unleash an attack that is not inferior to that of a strong attack system war soul master, and may even surpass it. And if a flexible attack system war soul master holds a defensive soul-guiding instrument with strong defensive capabilities, then he can also temporarily serve as a defensive system instrument soul master."

  "It can be said that the emergence of soul guides has greatly changed the direction and status quo of soul masters' cultivation. In fact, the role of soul rings has been weakened. As long as there is enough soul power, one can rely on soul guides to make up for the lack of soul ring energy. This has led many people to neglect the role of soul rings, resulting in the current situation where all four major empires' soul masters cultivate solely by pursuing soul power."

  "There's no doubt that this method of cultivation is effective in the short term, especially for soul masters below level 50. The effect is still very obvious. However, I want to tell you that our Shrek Academy does not cultivate such soul masters. Because after they reach level 50, they all become useless."

  "I don't get it, do I? Let me give you an example. If you're a Soul Master and you've cultivated to level 50, and I'm an Agility-based Battle Soul Master who's also cultivated to level 50. You have a Soul Tool that can threaten my life, but I don't have one, who would win in this fight?"

  "The answer is simple, I will win. Why? Because at my speed, you don't even have a chance to hit me with your soul guide device. Even if you have top-level soul guide devices, I can still wear you down until your soul power is exhausted through my speed advantage. The stronger the soul guide device, the greater the consumption of soul power. Therefore, defensive, auxiliary and food system soul masters may be able to possess the attacking power of strong attack system war soul masters with their soul guide devices, but they are absolutely not as powerful as them in battle. This is something you must remember clearly. Therefore, although soul guide devices have a huge enhancement effect on defensive, auxiliary and food system soul masters, if your body is not strong enough, then on the battlefield, you will always be the first to be killed. Your enemy won't spare you just because you're not a war soul master, on the contrary, they'll pick the soft persimmon, you have strong attacking power with your soul guide device, but are weak in other aspects. How would your enemy choose?"

  "Similarly, if my physical quality is extremely strong and I have a very strong combat power in itself, then having a powerful soul guide in my hand means adding wings to the tiger. This is what a true strong person looks like."

  "Blurred lines between offense and defense, in a Soul Master team anyone can serve as an attacker, however, improving your own quality is the only way to maximize your survival ability on the battlefield. Unless one day the Soul Guidance Device can develop to completely replace your physical body, otherwise, physical training, soul ring selection, are all crucial for your future cultivation."

  Zhou Wei didn't know that after ten thousand years, the Soul Guidance Device had actually developed to the point where it could replace the physical body.

  "In the next three months, the main training I will be conducting on you is in physical quality. No matter who you are, where you come from, or how good your talent is. If you can't pass my assessment after three months, then get out like those nine people before."

  "That's all for this morning's class, I suggest you have a good lunch, and this afternoon we'll start physical training. Class dismissed. He Yu Hao, come with me to the office."

  After finishing this sentence, Zhou Wei turned around and left without any hesitation, while the afternoon class bell had not yet rung.

  Until Zhou Wei walked out of the classroom door, the classroom was still quiet, and the vast majority of people were immersed in Zhou Wei's previous speech. Although this Mr. Zhou did not play according to common sense, they all had to admit that what Mr. Zhou said made a lot of sense.

  Huo Yu Hao stood up and followed Zhou Wei out, except for the teacher's office building behind the two teaching buildings of purple and black, there is a simple office in each teaching building.

  Huo Yuhao followed Zhou Wei to an office not far from the classroom, where Zhou Wei gestured for him to close the door and sat down behind the desk. Despite her age, her movements didn't show any signs of aging.

  "Huo Yuhao, I'm not a person who likes to beat around the bush. Wang Dong's martial soul surprised me, but yours has piqued my interest. Even with my experience, I couldn't sense what your martial soul is. Now, I want to know the answer." Zhou Wei's strong tone was evident in her words.

  His own martial soul didn't have anything good to hide from his teacher, so Huo Yuhao said, "My martial soul is the Spiritual Eyes, with a spiritual attribute."

  After hearing Huo Yu's words, Zhou Wei was visibly startled. A hint of surprise flashed in her bright eyes, which were quite inconsistent with her old face. "Original Body Martial Soul, Spiritual Attribute? Eyes?"

  Huo Yu Hao nodded slightly.

  Zhou Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, she asked Huo Yu Hao: "Can you tell me what your first soul skill is?"

  The teacher asked the students about their martial soul, which was normal, but the soul technique was the most important ability and secret of every soul master, even if it was Zhou Wei's strong side, he used an inquiring tone.

  Someone else might have hesitated, but Huo Yuhao didn't have this problem at all. His first soul ring had four skills, and revealing two of them was very normal.

  What's the mystery of the Soul Master? That's a long story. You can all guess. This is also not in Douluo 1, okay? When I write Douluo 2, there will be some background from Douluo 1, but most of the stories are completely new. What I want to write is a new story, not just a complete derivation of Douluo 1's story. So it's set one million years later. Hope you all like it more and more as you read on, I'll give out more fresh stuff, different from Douluo 1 but still full of the Douluo flavor.

  I sincerely hope to write every word of this book well.
