Having finally and painstakingly transformed his soul power into Xuan Tian Gong soul power and completed the first level of Xuan Tian Gong cultivation, Huo Yuhao naturally wanted to explore this academy with a history of ten thousand years, since classes wouldn't start until tomorrow.
Since Bei Bei had already led Huo Yuhao through the main areas of the Martial Soul system, Huo Yuhao only briefly checked the details he hadn't noticed before turning around and heading towards the Soul Guidance system, which he hadn't yet set foot in.
"This should be it."
Looking up at the massive gray building before him, which appeared extremely heavy, not only constructed of brick and stone but also bearing a metallic sheen in many places, Huo Yuhao felt a constant, low rumbling sound emanating from within. This even caused a slight tremor beneath his feet.
A sign next to him told Huo Yuhao that this was his destination: the Soul Tool Testing Area.
"But how do we get in?" Huo Yuhao recalled the plot of his previous life. This place didn't seem to be a teaching building, but rather a place similar to a laboratory. It seemed that an access card was needed to get in.
Does this mean we can only unlock the Soul Guidance System through the storyline? But there's no rush. This year's goal is still to focus on Soul Power cultivation. After all, if we miss the Ice Emperor's storyline, the Ice Emperor might not need to gamble on us after obtaining the 100,000-year-old Snow Lotus.
"Young man, you've been standing here for so long, are you waiting for someone?"
A voice rang out, interrupting Huo Yuhao's thoughts, and Huo Yuhao looked in the direction from which the voice came.
He was an extremely tall man, over two meters tall, with shoulders broader than Fan Yu's. His body was covered in dark muscles, and his head was completely bald. Compared to ordinary people, he was much darker. Judging from his face, he should be about the same age as Bei Bei, and he had a kind and honest appearance.
Judging by this... is it radish?
Because of his distinctive appearance, Huo Yuhao quickly identified the person behind him.
"Hello senior, I'm a freshman this year. I'm not here to see anyone, but I just happened to pass by while touring the school and took a look around because I'm interested in soul tools."
"Oh?" Hearing that the person in front of him was interested in soul tools, He Caitou became more interested as well: "Young man, you're also interested in soul tools? Would you like to come inside and take a look with me?"
"Then I'll trouble you, senior." Seeing someone leading the way, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. "By the way, senior, my name is Huo Yuhao. May I ask what your name is?"
"My name is He Caitou." He Caitou still had that simple and honest look on his face. "Young man, everyone calls me Caitou, so you can call me that too."
"Okay, Big Brother." Huo Yuhao naturally used the form of address that best conveyed the highest level of goodwill from the original work.
Upon hearing the words "Brother He," He Caitou paused for a moment, then gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs-up and said, "Little brother, you're not bad."
"It's said that traditional Soul Masters look down on Soul Tools. Some students with poor talent can only transfer to the Soul Tool Department to continue their studies at Shrek Academy, but they still focus on cultivating their Martial Soul. On the other hand, young man, I can see that you are genuinely interested in Soul Tools..."
Huo Yuhao also took out his White Tiger Dagger, gently stroking it, and proactively established his persona: "Back when I went to the Star Dou Great Forest alone to hunt soul beasts and obtained my first soul ring..."

In a poorly soundproof office in the Soul Guidance Experiment Zone.
"Zhou Yi, classes officially start tomorrow. Don't be willful this time. The last one was a prince with good talent. He came to Shrek Academy to curry favor. He was about to graduate, and your expulsion put the academy in a difficult position."
"And now he's blaming me! I've tolerated him slacking off in class for so long, but this time he actually flirted with a girl in public. I just happened to have no excuse before, so I'll fire him now and save him from ruining Shrek's honor by using his Shrek graduate status after graduation!"
"While this matter is certainly the prince's fault, it's still not your place to speak on it."
Fan Yu's face showed a hint of helplessness. "You could have reported his matter to the academy, and then the academy could have punished him according to the school rules. What do you think of the academy by doing this?"
"The academy will punish him? Do you think I don't know what the academy will do? A major demerit, some compensation to keep the girl quiet, and then what? What impact will it have? He doesn't care about any dark history on his record. As long as he has a Shrek diploma, he dares to use his Shrek graduate status to pick up girls!"
"Calm down... calm down. The academy knows you weren't at fault. Assigning you to teach freshmen might seem like a punishment, but do you even know if you've actually been punished?"
"Anyway, you've finished teaching one class, and it's time to take over a new one. It just seems like you'll be teaching from the first year of junior teachers, but that won't prevent you from leading them to the third year or even graduation as an intermediate teacher..."
"However, please try to restrain yourself this time. The academy's punishment is a warning. After all, preventing nine-tenths of a class from advancing to the next level is really a bit..."
"What's it to you? So what if those sycophants and unambitious people get a year's suspension? They weren't expelled. They've all been corrupted by that prince, their personalities are terrible, and they have no ambition. Suspending them for a year will be good for them to toughen up."
"Teacher Yan taught them so diligently, and what did they do to make her so angry? You know how difficult it is for a Soul Master, especially one above the Soul Emperor level, to conceive a child... In the end, it's still the students' fault!"
"You should restrain yourself... If something like this happens again, I might not be able to keep your intermediate teacher title."
"Yes, yes, yes... we'll try to open fewer of them this time..."
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Fan Yu could only smile wryly. Knowing Zhou Yi as he did, he was certain she hadn't listened to a word she said...
Just then, voices came from outside the office:
"So, young man, you're a new student this year? Which class are you in? And who's your teacher?"
"The teacher for Class 1 of the freshmen is Zhou Yi."
"Zhou Yi?" Upon hearing this name, He Caitou was taken aback. He carefully looked around to make sure no one was there, and then continued, "That young man is in a bit of trouble. Teacher Zhou's class has the highest dropout rate in the entire Shrek Academy. Many people have been expelled for various reasons."
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao feigned surprise.
Seeing this, He Caitou was naturally happy to continue: "I heard that Teacher Zhou is extremely disgusted with those students in the class who are lazy, unruly, and disobedient. Students often get expelled for offending her... Once..."
He Caitou rarely encountered someone who matched his tastes, so he was naturally happy to say a few more words, talking endlessly about Zhou Yi's "great achievements".
"In short, as long as you do your best to complete the tasks assigned by Teacher Zhou in his class and keep a low profile, it's not too difficult to get by. Moreover, not only are the students taught by Teacher Zhou more likely to pass the inner court exam, but they are also more highly regarded by outsiders than students taught by other teachers."
"So, Teacher Zhou's ability to teach Soul Masters is quite good?"
"Of course! If it weren't for Teacher Zhou expelling a few students from time to time, she might have passed the senior teacher exam long ago. That's what qualifies you to teach inner court students; I don't need to elaborate on its value, right?"
