[Chapter 24: Talent in front noodles, not worth a penny]
Secretly, Hua Huo couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene.
Whether it was the students or the Shrek executives, they were truly a bunch of cuties.
They believed everything Lady Hua Huo said!
"Hahaha~"
As if struck by a sudden thought, Hua Huo's figure flickered, transforming into Mu En's appearance.
Leaning on crutches, she hunched over and walked slowly toward the academic affairs office.
At the same time, the corners of Mu En's eyes twitched slightly, and his mouth opened a little, as if he were muttering something.
After a while, there was no further movement.
"Young people are so energetic."
"Hua Huo's ability, if used properly, can make a real difference."
Suddenly, Mu En seemed to recall something, his eyes lighting up as he murmured, "Huo Yuhao... Imitation..."
"Hua Huo... Is this also an Imitation?"
If it weren't for "watching" Hua Huo transform, even if she stood right in front of him, he wouldn't have been able to detect the slightest flaw.
This ability was truly terrifying.
As for Huo Yuhao's Imitation, he could spot a few issues, but they were minimal.
"No wonder, no wonder that person was so furious because of Xuanzi's actions."
In 10,000 years, he had never done something like this!
Hua Huo had transformed into Mu En's appearance right in front of him, and yet Mu En only regarded it as Hua Huo being mischievous and didn't take it to heart.
As long as he was alive, Shrek Academy would remain secure.
With Hua Huo's strength, she naturally knew that Mu En was observing her, but she pretended to be unaware of it.
What Mu En thought was his own business.
Meanwhile, in the soul tool department, Huo Yuhao was being eagerly pulled along by Zhou Yi's husband, Fan Yu, who looked at him as though he were a priceless treasure.
"Yuhao, you must learn soul tools!"
"The soul tool department doesn't have a genius like you, how can we survive without you?!"
Indeed, Fan Yu's attitude upon meeting Huo Yuhao for the first time was completely different from that in the original timeline!
It was true that Huo Yuhao's talent was absurdly overpowered, and his martial soul possessed the innate skill of "Spiritual Detection and Sharing."
Of course, this was merely Huo Yuhao's martial soul talent skill disguised with soul power.
Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing.
He had just demonstrated this so-called "innate soul skill" to Fan Yu, allowing him to experience the "composition" within a radius of thousands of meters, a true god-like vision, and Fan Yu was left utterly stunned.
This was the ultimate vision that every soul engineer aspired to witness!
The most outrageous part was that this was actually Huo Yuhao's martial soul's innate soul skill!
Zhou Yi was equally shocked.
She had already held high expectations for Huo Yuhao, but she hadn't anticipated him bringing such an incredible surprise!
Upon hearing from Zhou Yi that Huo Yuhao wanted to learn about soul tools, Fan Yu immediately began teaching him the fundamentals of first-level soul tools and even personally demonstrated the process.
What astonished Fan Yu even more was that Huo Yuhao, who had never before interacted with a soul tool, succeeded on his very first attempt at carving the lines!
Not only that, but he also managed to assemble the first-level soul tool flawlessly.
"Wait, something's off... Something's not right!"
Suddenly, Fan Yu seemed to realize something and asked Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, why is your carving technique and assembly sequence exactly the same as mine, without the slightest deviation?"
Even if it is the same pattern, the same soul tool, and the soul masters crafting them are different, there will still be some differences.
But the soul tool made by Huo Yuhao was almost identical to the one Fan Yu had made earlier, as if it had been copied.
If the two were placed side by side, even Fan Yu, the original maker, wouldn't be able to tell which one was his own!
How was this possible?
A perfect copy?
"Teacher Fan Yu, I used my martial soul to copy your carving technique to achieve this effect."
Fan Yu: "..."
In the face of such overwhelming talent, ordinary skill is meaningless!
Huo Yuhao possessing such an ability was simply a nightmare for all soul engineers!
As long as he watched the production process once, he could perfectly reproduce it... Even I couldn't replicate it so flawlessly!
Excitement filled his heart, and his hands trembled.
Without hesitation, Fan Yu immediately demonstrated the second-level soul tool production technique in front of Huo Yuhao.
As for theory or anything else, to hell with it.
An eighth-level soul engineer making a second-level soul tool was far too simple.
To test Huo Yuhao's limits, Fan Yu even used the fastest speed possible.
"Here you go!"
Placing the materials and carving knife in front of Huo Yuhao, Fan Yu spoke solemnly.
Taking the carving knife and materials, Huo Yuhao didn't say much and directly replicated every step of Fan Yu's previous actions.
Such a task would have been extremely difficult for the Huo Yuhao of the original timeline, but for this Huo Yuhao, it was effortless!
Even a ninth-level soul tool could be reproduced, as long as someone was willing to teach him and he was willing to reveal a little more of his capabilities.
After all, to craft a first-level soul tool, one needed at least level 10 soul power to succeed.
The same applied to crafting a second-level soul tool...
And so on. To craft a ninth-level soul tool, one needed to be a Titled Douluo or at least a level 90 quasi-Titled Douluo.
Huo Yuhao only displayed twenty levels of soul power, but if he could replicate a ninth-level soul tool...
After a short while, looking at the identical second-level soul tool, Fan Yu's mouth hung slightly open, and he fell silent.
Huo Yuhao didn't understand the theory behind soul tools at all, but did he even need to?
He had copied the answer directly!
"You... you..."
Fan Yu struggled to find words for a long time before finally saying faintly, "You must join the soul tool department!"
"With your ability and talent, you could become the greatest soul master of all time, perhaps even the legendary level 10 soul Engineer!"
With such abilities and talents, as long as Huo Yuhao's soul power level met the requirements and someone was willing to teach him, he could reach the corresponding soul engineer level in minutes.
There was no difficulty.
Coupled with his innate talent, he was practically born for soul tools!
At that moment, a figure burst into Fan Yu's laboratory.
The man kept a straight face, ignored Fan Yu, didn't even glance at Huo Yuhao, and spoke directly to Zhou Yi, "Zhou Yi, the elder from the Sea God Pavilion has summoned you to the Academic Affairs Office!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Yi and Fan Yu exchanged confused looks.
An elder from the Seagod Pavilion?
Judging by the teacher's demeanor, something major had happened!
"Why is the elder from the Seagod Pavilion looking for me?"
Zhou Yi asked instinctively, her eyes filled with doubt.
She had only just brought Huo Yuhao to the soul tool department. Why would Elder Su intervene?
Hearing this, the teacher's expression darkened.
He knew Zhou Yi had been wronged, but so what?
Why did someone have to impersonate her, of all people?
"Zhou Yi, as a colleague, I must remind you that something serious has happened."
"I know you've been wronged, but..."
"You'd better head to the Academic Affairs Office first, so as not to keep the elder waiting."
