Chapter 70 Fan Yu and Cai Tou
"Clang clang clang—"
Wang Yan's knocking on the door was rhythmic and powerful, with short, sharp echoes.
But after a while, the metal door slowly opened with a faint sound, and it slid horizontally.
Once the metal gate was fully opened, a deafening roar and a rush of air filled the air in the test area.
This test area is like the assessment area during freshman orientation, with thick metal plates dividing the entire area.
Wang Yan led the three directly to the largest area that had been divided up, carefully looked around, and then walked towards a tall, middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man also noticed Wang Yan, who was with three students wearing first-year school uniforms. He immediately stepped forward, glanced at Wang Dong'er and the other two, his gaze lingering on the core disciple badges for a moment before looking at Wang Yan again.
"Teacher Wang, what's going on?"
"Teacher Fanyu, although these three children are core disciples and prospective core disciples of the Martial Soul Department, they are very interested in Soul Tools and want to come and take a look," Wang Yan explained.
"A visit?" Fan Yu frowned. If someone voluntarily gave up their spot as a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department to transfer to another department, he could give them a friendly look, but just a visit?
Wang Yan knew immediately what Fan Yu was thinking, so he said, "Teacher Fan Yu, don't underestimate those three."
As he spoke, Wang Yan pointed to Wang Dong'er and said, "Her name is Wang Dong'er, and she shares similar beliefs with me."
Fan Yu was aware of Wang Yan's concept of soul tools; they had discussed it at length several times.
However, the higher-ups at the academy simply couldn't compete with Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, which led to Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department being neglected. They could only pick up some students that the Martial Soul Department didn't want to learn Soul Guidance Devices.
Hearing Wang Yan say this, Fan Yu's brows relaxed a little.
"So, you're here to also study soul tools?" Fan Yu asked.
"No one has ever been able to cultivate two completely different paths at the same time, the Martial Soul system and the Soul Guidance system. You'd better choose one of them and work hard in it."
"You can't have both; the consequence of greed is that you can't do either of them better."
Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department is still in the exploratory development stage, and it hasn't even been divided into any specific directions yet. All students who enter the department must learn how to make soul tools.
For example, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has various tracks that are subdivided into Soul Master tracks, and there is even a direction that only uses Soul Tools without studying how to make Soul Tools.
In Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department, what Fan Yu said was quite normal.
"No need for Teacher Fan Yu to worry, we will make our own decision." Wang Dong'er said casually, but she was quite curious. If Zhou Yi was so upset that she didn't come to the classroom to go crazy, then Zhou Yi must have encountered something really difficult. How come Fan Yu, as Zhou Yi's husband, seemed to be acting as if nothing had happened?
Having said all that needed to be said, Fan Yu stopped worrying and turned to wave and call out in the direction she had come from, "Cai Tou, Cai Tou."
A dark-skinned, bald boy who was over two meters tall suddenly ran out from the crowd.
"Teacher," the bald boy bowed to Fan Yu.
"These three are here to visit and also to study the Soul Guidance Department. Why don't you show them around first?"
"Yes, teacher." The bald boy nodded quickly, looked at Wang Dong'er and the other two, and introduced himself: "My name is He Caitou."
While exchanging names with He Caitou, Wang Yan and Fan Yu had already moved to the side.
"Since you want to visit the Soul Guidance Department, I'll take you to see the manufacturing process of Soul Guidance Devices first. However, I can only show you the manufacturing process of first- and second-tier Soul Guidance Devices."
He Caitou, a former prince of the Sun Moon Empire, fled from the Sun Moon Empire due to a coup by another branch of the royal family.
Whether it was his true nature or a case of hating the house because of the crow, this man harbored hatred for ordinary civilians in his own country despite the internal coup within the royal family.
In the original novel, when Huo Yuhao carried out the horrific Mingdu explosion, He Caitou even said that the explosion wouldn't cause any problems.
Mingdu, which had gathered more than 20 million people from the Sun Moon Empire and more than 10 million spectators from all over the country to watch the competition, was bombed to the point that a third of them were wiped out. The vengeful spirits of the dead could easily fill Ye Xishui's Death Tower. Such a terrifying casualty was described by He Caitou as "nothing serious".
Wang Dong'er glanced indifferently at He Caitou's tall figure. His martial soul was ostensibly a food-type cigar, but due to his special performance, many people believed that he possessed a second martial soul, the sun.
However, her target wasn't He Caitou, so she didn't pay much attention to him anymore.
Wang Dong'er came to the Soul Guidance Department with a learning mindset.
After being shown the manufacturing process of soul tools and the application of some low-level soul tools by He Caitou, Huo Yuhao's eyes were already sparkling.
He had a premonition that he would definitely achieve success in the soul tool industry!
Compared to Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao was somewhat numb. She couldn't understand the manufacturing process of soul tools at all. Fortunately, Wang Dong'er didn't require her to learn how to make soul tools.
The displayed soul tools include not only long-range cannons and shells, but also several close-range soul tools, similar to the White Tiger Dagger wielded by Huo Yuhao.
Close-range soul tools are generally stronger than ordinary weapons, and their power is greater within a certain range. Even without injecting soul power, they can be used like ordinary weapons, but some of their special properties cannot be used.
Remote soul tools require the injection of soul power to be used, and the more powerful the remote soul tool, the more soul power is needed to launch an attack.
Therefore, almost every upgrade of a soul tool corresponds to a soul master's upgrade of one ring.
After the tour and explanation of part of the area, He Caitou led the three of them back to Wang Yan and Fan Yu.
"Are you still interested now?" Fan Yu asked.
"Our goal has never changed," Wang Dong'er said. "Huo Yuhao plans to learn how to make soul tools, while Xiao Xiao and I will only learn how to use various soul tools, not how to make them."
"Only learn how to use it, not how to make it?" Fan Yu repeated, without thinking much about it. "In that case, I'll grant you certain privileges. You can come to the Soul Guidance Department after school every day and spend an hour learning what you want to learn."
Since they were already here, Fan Yu didn't want to send them away anymore. Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was basically just picking up the leftover students from other people's Martial Soul Departments. Now that three "core disciples" had come to study the Soul Guidance Department as well, it was a good thing.
What if it attracts more people?
"But before we begin our formal studies, I have a question for you."
"What do you consider to be a soul tool?"
