Chapter 29 Godparents
After Zhou Yi was taken away by Du Weilun, Wang Yan, who replaced her, returned to the class with Huo Yuhao, surrounded by the students of Class One.
A group of girls surrounded Huo Yuhao, chattering and asking him all sorts of questions, but Huo Yuhao remained silent with a smile throughout.
During this time, he happened to exchange a glance with Wang Dong. Although the sea goddess princess was still throwing a tantrum, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that she was also quite excited because of him.
Once everyone had returned to their seats, Wang Yan stood at the podium, smiling and gesturing for everyone to quiet down. He then gently introduced himself, "My name is Wang Yan, and I will be your class advisor for Class 1 of the freshmen. Before the freshmen assessment ends, you can ask me anything. I hope everyone will stay, and I hope you will all give your best in the upcoming assessments. I will try my best to tailor a training method for each of you."
Looking at the well-behaved students below the podium, Wang Yan felt more and more that Zhou Yi's approach was seriously flawed.
He had only heard about it before, but after witnessing it with his own eyes today, as an educator, he felt extremely disgusted by it based on his professional ethics. Such promising young people have been ruined by this mediocre person!
Suppressing his anger, Wang Yan began his lesson, "As everyone knows, martial souls are generally divided into beast martial souls, weapon martial souls, food martial souls, and plant martial souls. In addition, there are some special martial souls, such as the body martial soul. Huo Yuhao, if I'm not mistaken, your martial soul should be your eyes, right?"
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. Normally, his soul skills would be difficult for others to detect. How did Teacher Wang guess that his martial soul was eyes?
"Yes, teacher, my martial soul is my physical martial soul, the eye, which I call the Spirit Eye."
Most of the students in the class were learning about the existence of a physical martial soul for the first time, and it was also the first time they had seen someone with such a martial soul. They all turned their gazes to Huo Yuhao, looking at him with curiosity.
"The Body Spirits are all extremely powerful. If they can be developed properly, each one can become a powerful high-level Soul Master. There is such a sect in Douluo Continent, which reveres the Body Spirit and is extremely powerful. It is called the 'Body Spirit Sect'. I won't go into the secrets of this sect today. If you are interested, you can look it up in the library or come and ask me."
"What I meant by mentioning the original spirit was that Huo Yuhao's understanding and application of his spirit is clearly among the best of you. His spirit is his own eyes, so understanding and comprehending his spirit is easier for him than for other spirit masters."
"That's why you others need to understand that understanding your own martial spirit is the most important factor in determining how far you can go."
"A Soul Master's cultivation is not limited to Soul Power and combat skills. These two are the foundation for how far you can go and determine the lower limit of your Martial Soul cultivation. However, a Soul Master's understanding and development of their own Martial Soul is the beacon that breaks through confusion and moves forward, which determines your ultimate upper limit."
The students below the stage listened to Wang Yan's words and began to ponder them carefully. Huo Yuhao gave Wang Yan's conclusions extremely high praise, saying that this level of knowledge far surpassed Zhou Yi's! A good teacher produces outstanding students; this is the teaching level that Shrek Academy should have.
Wang Yan's class went by quickly. Not a single word he said was wasted. His theoretical knowledge was something the children eagerly absorbed. When the bell rang, many were still immersed in Wang Yan's words, deep in thought.
Wang Yan nodded in satisfaction, tidied up a bit, and said with a smile, "Everyone, don't be late for the practical class this afternoon. Huo Yuhao, if you have time, you can come and participate. Now, everyone go have lunch. get out of class dismissed."
The students in Class One stood up in unison. They looked at each other, and under Huo Yuhao's encouraging gaze, they all bowed deeply to Wang Yan, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Wang."
Wang Yan paused for a moment, then bowed slightly in return. His gentle voice, like a spring breeze, rang in the children's ears, "It is my honor to teach you. See you this afternoon."
After class, Huo Yuhao, for the first time in a long time, approached Wang Dong, nudged him twice with his elbow, and said with a smile, "Want to have lunch together?"
Wang Dong snorted and said, "I'll go if you treat me."
Huo Yuhao retorted, "Why should a meritorious person treat us? I saved you from Zhou Yi's torment, shouldn't you be the one to treat us?"
"Tch! Fine, I'll treat! Next time you treat, I'll eat you out of house and home!"
"I'll treat you to grilled fish next time, so you can try my cooking."
"You can cook?"
The two most handsome guys in the class got together, chatting and laughing, and were about to have dinner together. In the eyes of some female fans of BL (Boys' Love), this already seemed to fast-forward to them lying in bed together doing things that couldn't be approved by the censors.
In the afternoon, Huo Yuhao arrived at the Ninth Experimental Zone with his notes and problem reports from the past few days. When he opened the door with his token, he found two figures inside talking about soul tools. They were Xian Lin'er and a burly man in his fifties.
When they saw that the person who had come was Huo Yuhao, they all smiled.
Xian Lin'er pulled Huo Yuhao aside and introduced him to the man, "Duoduo! This is Huo Yuhao, the disciple I just took in! He's incredibly talented and possesses the Spirit Eye, a spirit-type martial soul. Yuhao, this is Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of our Soul Guidance Department. He's my husband, you should call him Grandmaster."
Upon hearing Xian Lin'er's words, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the burly man. He smiled and patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, saying, "You can talk to your grandmaster about anything in the future. You can also ask me if you don't understand something. I heard from Lin'er that you are very interested in defensive soul tools. I happen to be an expert in this field, so you can't go wrong by coming to me."
Huo Yuhao bowed slightly and said, "Disciple Huo Yuhao greets Master and Grandmaster."
Before Xian Lin'er could say anything, Qian Duoduo looked at Huo Yuhao with eyes full of satisfaction and said, "Good, good, good!"
Xian Lin'er knew why Qian Duoduo was so happy. After all these years, she still hadn't let go, while he had stayed by her side for so many years without asking for anything in return. She wanted to do something to make up for it. She looked at Huo Yuhao, then at Qian Duoduo, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Duoduo, we haven't had a child all these years. Why don't we adopt Yuhao today?"
Qian Duoduo's body stiffened instantly, his eyes filled with joy mixed with a complex emotion—neither sadness nor jealousy. He didn't turn to look at Xian Lin'er, but instead pulled Huo Yuhao into his arms and whispered, "Yuhao, from now on we're family, okay?"
Huo Yuhao hadn't heard the word "family" in a long time. After his mother's death, he only had Tianmeng and others, who were soul beasts, to accompany him. But human emotions are too complicated, and he always needed a place to vent or find solace.
He didn't want to speculate too much about the relationship between Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, but today Huo Yuhao knew that these two also needed him as a source of emotional support for themselves.
Emotions are reciprocal. As this expectation slowly ferments, why can't it eventually become a genuine emotion? After all, what is false at its deepest point becomes true.
Think about that cheap biological father who is completely unaware of his own existence. Even if he is real, he has never managed things, and even deliberately allowed others' malice to destroy and persecute him. Even if they are real father and son, over time, the so-called kinship will become fake.
Now, there is a couple who cherish and love themselves, even though their feelings are not pure, and even though they are mostly using each other.
But wasn't Huo Yuhao also using them? Feelings are mutual, and so is exploitation. Nothing is truly unconditional, not even between biological parents and their children.
Huo Yuhao now needs the protection of these two Super Douluo, and this couple in name only needs him as the anchor of their relationship. They need each other and benefit each other, so what reason does he have to refuse them?
Having thought all this through, he naturally had no need to hesitate any longer.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and looked intently into Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo's hopeful eyes. He finally made up his mind.
Huo Yuhao gently nudged Qian Duoduo, broke free under her puzzled gaze, and then solemnly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Dad! Mom! Please accept my bow."
