Chapter: 21: "Zhou Yi"
These lazy and disobedient individuals don't deserve to remain in Zhou Yi's class; they should be expelled!
Suddenly, two figures appeared in Zhou Yi's line of sight, causing her to pause momentarily before forcing a smile.
The smile on the bionic mask seemed somewhat unsettling, but it represented Zhou Yi's attitude!
"Greetings, Teacher Zhou Yi!" Huo Yuhao greeted her politely.
Seeing this, Huahuo also smiled sweetly and greeted Zhou Yi.
"Greetings, Ms. Zhou!"
Noticing the politeness of Huo Yuhao and Huahuo, Zhou Yi felt even more reassured.
They were truly the promising talents she had high hopes for!
However, Zhou Yi was puzzled. Shouldn't they be heading to the fighting arena with Mu Jin?
Why had they come to her instead?
"Greetings, Huahuo, Huo Yuhao,"
When it came to geniuses and prodigies, Zhou Yi's attitude was always warm and welcoming.
After all, these were the individuals she had high expectations for!
Those who didn't dare to stir up trouble were merely mediocre.
The more she looked at Huo Yuhao, the more Zhou Yi found him pleasing to the eye.
"Is there something you need?"
"As a teacher at the academy, even if I'm not your homeroom teacher, I will do my best to assist you."
Zhou Yi made every effort to appear kind and showcase her good qualities.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes twitched slightly. She truly was a teacher who played favorites!
The way she treated geniuses and ordinary students was completely different.
"Teacher Zhou Yi, it's like this," Huo Yuhao began, pausing briefly before glancing at the students running on the playground.
"I have some doubts and questions about your teaching methods, and I'd like to seek your guidance."
Zhou Yi frowned, looking at Huo Yuhao and then at the students on the playground.
Could it be that this genius was also here to question her teaching methods?
Although she had her doubts, Zhou Yi's tolerance for geniuses remained high.
"Go ahead. If I can answer, I will."
"Teacher Zhou Yi, then I'll speak frankly," Huo Yuhao said.
"Running alone is beneficial. It can effectively improve physical fitness and temper one's willpower. However, isn't the progress from this method somewhat slow?"
Zhou Yi had expected Huo Yuhao to challenge her teaching approach, but instead, he seemed to agree with it!
He understood, he truly did!
Wasn't her intention in having the students run precisely to strengthen their physique and willpower?
On the path of cultivation, without strong willpower, one's lifelong achievements would be limited.
Such individuals were unworthy of being her students.
But Huo Yuhao's final words left Zhou Yi deep in thought.
Slowing down the results?
"Oh? What do you think?"
Truly, he was the student she had high hopes for!
Seeing her interest, Huo Yuhao gestured to himself.
"Teacher Zhou Yi, you see, if we add weights to the arms and calves while running, wouldn't that help exercise the muscles in those areas more effectively?"
"This way, running would yield even greater benefits!"
Zhou Yi listened attentively, her expression thoughtful as she observed Huo Yuhao's demonstration. After a moment, she nodded slowly.
She had previously prepared weights for the trainees, but they were in the form of iron cloaks, which could only be worn on the torso.
After Huo Yuhao's suggestion, Zhou Yi felt a sudden realization.
Indeed, adding weights to the arms and calves would allow for a more comprehensive workout, particularly targeting the arm and leg muscles.
This would be an excellent training method for Battle Soul Masters.
Truly, he was a genius!
His perspective on the problem was so unique, and Zhou Yi found herself liking him more and more.
Huahuo stood silently beside Huo Yuhao, her mind simulating the feasibility of his proposal.
After a few moments, she reached a conclusion.
Huo Yuhao's suggestion was sound. With appropriate weights and a reasonable training schedule, it could indeed strengthen the arm and leg muscles effectively.
However, the key was moderation.
If overdone, this type of exercise could become tortuous and cause significant harm to the body.
The ideal method would be gravity training, which doesn't require weights and allows for comprehensive strength improvement under gravitational force.
But it seemed Shrek Academy didn't have such equipment...
"Huo Yuhao, you are exceptional. I have high expectations for you, but unfortunately..." Zhou Yi paused, about to continue, when Huo Yuhao raised his hand and interjected.
"Teacher Zhou Yi, your teaching method is excellent. Using the simplest exercise techniques to achieve the best results, it's truly remarkable!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yi felt a wave of satisfaction.
In all her years of teaching, this was the first time she had received such heartfelt praise!
Yes, this Huo Yuhao is truly exceptional!
He must be nurtured carefully!
"By the way, Teacher Zhou Yi, I have a small request..." Huo Yuhao said, his expression tinged with hesitation.
This scene tugged at Zhou Yi's heartstrings.
"Huo Yuhao, feel free to speak. As long as it's within my power, I will help you!" Zhou Yi waved her hand magnanimously.
"Teacher, you know, Hua Huo and I are orphans. We've been without parents since we were young..."
"I rely on Hua Huo for everything, but we are both spiritual-type soul masters. Spiritual-type soul beasts are incredibly rare. I've been stuck at level 20 for a long time, unable to obtain my second soul ring..."
"???"
Zhou Yi had initially thought Huo Yuhao wanted to join her class, but it turned out he was asking for her help in hunting a soul ring.
While this wasn't something a teacher was obligated to do, it wasn't impossible either.
If she was willing, she could certainly assist her students in hunting soul beasts.
Just as Zhou Yi was about to agree, Huo Yuhao changed his tone and continued, "Spiritual-type soul beasts are too difficult to find, so I've been thinking of learning about soul tools. I heard that you have some connections with the Soul Tool Department..."
At this point, Huo Yuhao scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Zhou Yi: "..."
What a twist and turn! Huo Yuhao was actually asking to visit the Soul Tool Department?
"No problem. It just so happens that I need to go to the Soul Tool Department to create the kind of weights you mentioned earlier."
"By the way, are you planning to learn alone, or are you and Hua Huo both interested?"
Zhou Yi had no objections to soul tools. After all, her husband was an eighth-level soul engineer!
If Huo Yuhao wanted to learn about soul tools, she couldn't be happier!
"Although Hua Huo is also a spiritual-type soul master, she's a bit too scatterbrained to become a soul engineer, don't you think?"
Hua Huo: "??? "
"That's true. Then I'll take you there. You can head back now."
With that, Zhou Yi grabbed Huo Yuhao and headed straight for the Soul Tool Department.
As for the students running on the field, they were no longer her concern.
"That darn little black-haired brat, how dare he say I'm scatterbrained?"
"Hmph~"
Hua Huo snorted, adjusted the mask on her head with her right hand, and placed it over her face.
In an instant, her figure vanished, replaced by the appearance of "Zhou Yi."
"Zhou Yi" casually summoned a leather whip, which appeared in her hand.
"Students, your Teacher Zhou Yi is here!"
