Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

Chapter 11 A Strange Class

Soon, at the end of an hour, Huo Yuhao completed a hundred laps at the front of the team at a steady speed, neither falling behind nor standing out too much.

As per usual practice, Zhou Yi singled out several students who had not completed the lap running task and expelled them.

As usual, Zhou Yi picked out several students who failed to complete the task. Some of them were rich kids who were spoiled by their families, while others were students who were unable to persist due to their congenitally weak constitutions.

The reason for adopting this approach is that Zhou Yi wants to show her iron-fisted approach to the freshmen, and also to screen out those "chickens" that can be used to "intimidate the monkeys". After all, if no one is lazy, a few people can be blocked simply by physical fitness.

Several students who were named left angrily and went to the Academic Affairs Office to complain.

However, in Shrek Academy, which is known as the best academy on the continent, students' complaints and dissatisfaction often fail to shake the academy's iron rules.

Even though some people within the academy had complaints about Zhou Yi's actions, they would maintain a consistent tone when facing these students. After all, Zhou Yi was a teacher at Shrek Academy, and her actions represented the authority and dignity of the academy.

When the other freshmen saw that Zhou Yi had really expelled several people without mercy, their faces and expressions were not very good, but it was obvious that they were all shocked by Zhou Yi.

However, Huo Yuhao seemed unusually calm about all this. In his eyes, Zhou Yi's so-called difficulties were nothing more than child's play.

He is not like these freshmen who are only eleven or twelve years old. His world view and way of thinking have long been mature and stable, and he will not be easily influenced by Zhou Yi.

It is impossible for him to be led by Zhou Yi and eventually become like Huo Yuhao in the original novel, a golden sign pushed out by Shrek.

After establishing his authority, he glanced at the group of students with a sneer and said, "Alright, go back to the dormitory and change your clothes, and then go to the classroom for class. I will only give you a quarter of an hour."

After saying that, Zhou Yi turned around and walked towards the teaching building.

At this moment, all the freshmen scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to delay any longer, and ran towards their dormitories at their fastest speed, dragging their tired bodies.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were naturally no exception, but at this moment Wang Dong was surprised to find that Huo Yuhao, like himself, did not sweat much. It was obvious that the previous hundred laps were nothing to him.

Even Huo Yuhao's condition seemed to be much better than his own, because he had consumed a lot of soul power and physical strength after running a hundred laps, while Huo Yuhao obviously still had plenty of room. He should have only consumed his soul power and had not started to exert his physical strength yet.

"How did you do it? Don't you only have level 12 soul power?" Wang Dong asked like a curious baby.

"It's a secret." Huo Yuhao replied calmly, and then entered the dormitory. Wang Dong stood at the door and was reluctant to go in. Huo Yuhao did not say much, but just closed the door, cleaned himself up, and changed into school uniform.

When he walked out of the dormitory, he threw a clean towel to Wang Dong and said, "Okay, go in. I won't explore your secrets, and you don't have to explore mine, understand?"

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, but still nodded, took the towel and walked into the dormitory. Soon she also changed her clothes and walked out. Then Huo Yuhao took Wang Dong to the classroom slowly.

"Hey, why are you so leisurely? Aren't you afraid that that perverted old lady will get angry again?" Wang Dong asked with some confusion.

"If a person doesn't have credibility, he won't stand. Since she said it would take a quarter of an hour, I think she won't go back on her word if she needs to establish her authority over everyone. A quarter of an hour is still more than enough."

Huo Yuhao answered calmly. At the same time, he knew in his heart that he was not afraid of being fired because he had enough choices and places to go.

Moreover, if he was really expelled, there would be so many places where he could settle down again. Anyway, if this situation really happened, it would be Tang San who would be anxious, not him.

Hearing this, Wang Dong nodded thoughtfully, as if he was digesting the meaning of Huo Yuhao's words.

“Everyone’s actions are to achieve their own goals. Even if you are facing a madman, if you calmly analyze his actions, you can sort out his crazy logic.”

"By looking at his behavioral logic and personality, we can naturally analyze his ultimate purpose through his actions."

"The perverted old lady actually did only one thing in this class from beginning to end, and that was to establish her authority."

"Think carefully about her momentum when she first appeared, how she borrowed the motto of Shrek Academy, and how she displayed her cultivation as a Soul Emperor. Then she used physical punishment to influence people's hearts, and finally she used killing a chicken to scare the monkeys to shock everyone."

"Essentially, her series of actions are all for one purpose, which is to establish her authority. She wants to use her authority to tame everyone in the class, or at least dispel the arrogance in everyone's hearts."

Huo Yuhao talked about this, then looked at Wang Dong and said, “But seriously, think about it carefully, will everyone fall for this? He’s just a Soul Emperor, haven’t you seen one before? Do you really like him? So can you tell me, what kind of person do you think Zhou Yi is?”

Wang Dong frowned and began to think, and her pace slowed down involuntarily. But before she could open her mouth, she had arrived at the classroom.

By the time everyone took their seats, a quarter of an hour had passed quickly, and Zhou Yi had indeed arrived in the classroom on time as she had said.

Then he walked to the podium and said to the remaining students in the classroom: "Let's start the class now. I am basically satisfied with your test just now, but this is just the beginning. After all, running is only the simplest test."

Then he looked around and said to Huo Yuhao who was sitting in the corner: "Huo Yuhao, stand up and report your soul power level."

“Level 12.” Huo Yuhao stood up and spoke in a calm and clear voice.

At the same time, the other students all looked a little strange when they heard this, but they didn't dare to whisper to each other because of Zhou Yi's presence.

That is, they all knew that the minimum admission standard of Shrek Academy was the fifteenth level of soul power, and some students who noticed Huo Yuhao were even more surprised.

That is, during the previous running test, Huo Yuhao's ranking was not at the bottom, and could even be considered excellent. This is not something a twelfth-level soul master can do.

“Huo Yuhao’s soul power level is only level 12, but I can tell you that Huo Yuhao is very good. He was originally admitted to Shrek Academy as a specially invited student without taking an exam.”

"But even so, he still passed the combat assessment of Shrek Academy and received an excellent score. You should have noticed this when we were running before."

Zhou Yi once again glanced coldly at everyone present: "So if even a spirit master with level 12 spirit power can complete the task, why can't you complete it?"

"Those who didn't complete the running task before have been fired by me, but I hope you will remember them and not become the ones who were fired by me like them."

“Although Huo Yuhao’s soul power level is not high, before he was eliminated due to the school’s internal assessment task, they were Shrek students just like you. No one should bring up this issue.”  

"Alright, Huo Yuhao, please sit down. We will officially start the class."

Huo Yuhao sat down directly and began to think about Zhou Yi's intentions.

'It's a bit troublesome, but not a big problem, although because of the soul power, Zhou Yi pulled me up and made me a target. "

"I guess other students will regard me as their biggest enemy. After all, it would be embarrassing if they did worse than me, the last one with the lowest soul power. But there is no need to care about these students of the same period."

Afterwards, Zhou Yi began to teach the class as usual. She first brought up the theory of the soul master's offense and defense again. As expected, the unlucky Wang Dong was still the one chosen to answer the question.

"Today's first lesson is about the attack and defense of soul masters. Because of their martial soul abilities, soul masters have been divided into strong attack, agile attack, auxiliary, food, control, and defense since ancient times."

"Among soul masters, there are some schools that specialize in one aspect and develop to the extreme, while others develop in a balanced way."

"Then Wang Dong, stand up and tell me, among the spirit masters of each department, who is better at attacking, and who is better at defending and assisting?"

Wang Dong stood up and answered directly: "Of course, the three systems of strong attack, agile attack and control are more inclined to offense, while the three systems of support, food and defense are more inclined to defense."

"Idiot, sit down." Zhou Yi waved her hand, and then with the powerful soul pressure, she made Wang Dong shut up and sit back in his seat.

"If this answer was given more than 4,000 years ago before the Sun Moon Continent collided with our Douluo Continent, it would indeed be correct. But today, this answer is ridiculously wrong."

Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and said, “Huo Yuhao, tell me why.”

Huo Yuhao frowned and stood up: "I think there is nothing wrong with Wang Dong's answer."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi raised her eyebrows and her eyes became a little colder, but she did not interrupt. She just gestured for Huo Yuhao to continue.

"Soul guides have indeed narrowed the gap between soul masters of different systems to a certain extent, but the essence remains unchanged."

"From the perspective of close combat, give a strong attacking spirit master a powerful close combat spirit guide, and also give a supporting spirit master a powerful close combat spirit guide."

"When the two soul guides have the same power and the two soul masters' cultivation and soul ring configurations are also similar, the outcome is self-evident. The attacking soul master can still easily defeat the supporting soul master with the soul guide and his own martial soul advantage."

"It just increases the possibility of being injured by his last-ditch counterattack, but whether in terms of physical fitness or soul skill coordination, the strong attacking soul master will crush the auxiliary soul master, and it will not lead to a reversal of offense and defense."

"Even if the battle range is extended, as long as it does not reach a distance that completely crushes the spirit master's original spirit ring battle system and combat skills."

"Then the strong attack, agility attack, and control spirit masters are good at attacking, while the food, support, and defense spirit masters are good at defending. This question is beyond doubt."

"Even if the situation has really reached the point where we can only rely on long-range soul guides to decide the outcome of the battle, then at this point, regardless of what system we belong to, the concept of soul masters has essentially become blurred."

"What is being used now is not the ability of the soul master himself, but the ability to manufacture soul guides and their endurance. This cannot be confused with the original six major factions, and should be brought up separately."

"If it is for the purpose of specialization or coordination, the effect that the corresponding soul master can produce using the corresponding soul guide will definitely be far greater than the effect of soul masters of other departments using it."

"I have finished my answer." After saying this, Huo Yuhao looked at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was a little frozen and speechless at this moment. After all, the reason she brought up the soul guide device was just to belittle the soul guide and promote the educational policy of Shrek Academy.

Apart from the theory of soul guides that Fan Yu occasionally mentioned to her, she was actually just a traditional soul master and did not attach much importance to soul guides.

If she really had to debate with Huo Yuhao, she actually didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Finally, Zhou Yi frowned and said stiffly: "Sit down, what you said can only be applied to soul masters below level 50."

"However, the training of a soul master is to constantly develop and strengthen one's physical fitness, and at the same time choose a powerful and excellent soul ring. Soul guides can narrow the gap between soul masters, but this is only in the early stages."

"Even if it is a powerful soul guide, only the strong can use it. The strong will be more powerful when combined with the soul guide."

"The blurring of attack and defense is what I want to say, but what I want to tell you is that what we at Shrek Academy train are not those rubbish soul masters from the outside world."

"Everyone who comes out of our Shrek Academy must be the elite among the elites. In the next three months, my main training for you will be in the area of ​​physical fitness."

"No matter who you are, where you come from, or how talented you are, if you cannot pass my assessment in three months, then get out of here."

"That's all for today's morning class. I suggest you eat a good meal at noon and start physical training in the afternoon. get out of class dismissed."

“Huo Yuhao, come with me to my office.” After saying this, Zhou Yi turned and left, but the bell for the end of get out of class had not yet rung.

Looking at the other person's receding back, Huo Yuhao stood up helplessly and followed him.

"It starts off well but ends badly. What's going on here? What does this ending have to do with the topic she mentioned at the beginning?"

"I thought she could come up with some other arguments to refute it, but I guess she just heard the general idea from Fanyu."

When passing by Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong. At this moment, Wang Dong's eyes were full of confusion and clear stupidity. It was obvious that he was confused by Zhou Yi's inexplicable teaching.

"I hope you can understand it better later. At least you won't be sold out and have to pay people for it like in the original novel." Huo Yuhao sighed.
