MTLNOVEL Chapter 32: Is it too late to learning forging
"Gu Yuena, Martial Soul, Elementalist, Soul Power Level 27, Strong Attack System Battle Soul Master."
Everyone watched as Gu Yuena coldly introduced herself and sat down.
Before they could recover from this astonishing number, they heard an even more unreal figure.
"Huo Yuhao, Martial Soul Eyes, Soul Power Thirty-three Levels, Control System Battle Soul Master."
Huo Yuhao glanced at Luoyang Lu on the stage, probably understanding the other party's thoughts.
After a brief self-introduction, he quickly sat down, just like Gu Yuena.
The class fell into dead silence. Many students looked at Gu Yuena and then at Huo Yuhao, feeling as though they should quit the Academy.
Nine years old and already at level twenty-seven?
By ten, she might reach Soul Elder. And the other one is already at Soul Elder level.
The gap between them is too vast... Did they start cultivating before their Martial Souls awakened?
"It can't be!"
Wei Xiaofeng's pupils contracted suddenly as he stared at Huo Yuhao.
If someone reaches level 30 at this age, how many levels will they achieve by 12?
It's impossible for even the legendary Shrek Academy to have such a genius.
Or if such a genius were to join Shrek, the academy would undoubtedly accept them!
Xie Xie looked at Huo Yuhao, his cold expression shattered.
He even felt the urge to kill himself ten minutes ago.
This is bad. It feels like I've become a joke.
"Okay, you need to understand that there is always a sky beyond the sky, and people beyond people."
Luoyang Lu clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and said with a smile, "The person you need to defeat is yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. You are all proud talents to be sitting in this class, so be confident."
There was no need for any suppressive actions.
Just by Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena revealing their soul power levels, the geniuses from Eastsea City and surrounding areas would naturally curb their arrogance.
At this moment, they needed more encouragement to prevent them from falling into self-doubt.
Now that he had become a teacher, Luoyang Lu felt a sense of responsibility. He couldn't just focus on Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.
The students below were all his pupils, and he had to guide them well.
However, it was clear that everyone needed some time to calm down.
Luoyang Lu didn't push them. "Take today to get to know each other. Classes will officially start tomorrow. I hope you can adjust your mindset by then. Class dismissed."
Without lingering, Luoyang Lu turned and left after speaking.
Seeing this, some classmates quickly got up and gathered around Huo Yuhao.
Originally, a few had planned to approach Gu Yuena, but her indifferent aura made her seem unapproachable, and they quickly retreated.
She... doesn't seem easy to get along with.
"Huo Yuhao, how did you cultivate so fast? Is there some secret?"
"Are you from one of the big families? Did you get a perfectly matched heirloom soul for your first soul ring?"
"Your eyes are so beautiful. Is that your martial soul?"
Xie Xie overheard the conversation and snorted coldly.
Pathetic.
If it weren't for Huo Yuhao's strength, these people wouldn't have flocked to him.
He was different.
He wouldn't join in the fun but instead silently... exited the classroom.
Ahem. Xie Xie felt it was better to keep some distance from Huo Yuhao for now, otherwise, he might just die of embarrassment.
It wasn't just that he couldn't compare to Huo Yuhao.
There were two people in the classroom with higher soul power than him, and two others who were at the same level.
Thinking about what he had just said earlier made him want to bury his head in the ground.
He had full innate soul power, and no one surpassed him in innate talent.
Or was it because he wasn't diligent enough?
Well, just as the teacher said, if he wanted to surpass anyone, it should be himself.
Time to go and train!
On the other side, Wei Xiaofeng walked toward Huo Yuhao with a frown.
His appearance was decent, but his lips were thin, and his complexion was pale, giving off a somewhat cold impression.
Seeing this, the surrounding classmates subconsciously made way for this great soul master.
When he got closer, Wei Xiaofeng opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
He had always been proud. After obtaining the hundred-year-old Green Shadow Snake Soul Ring, he had been leading the way.
The two companions he had grown up with had martial souls of higher quality than his, but their soul power levels had never been able to keep up with him, only reaching the peak of level 19.
And today, he finally felt the gap between himself and others, truly understanding the saying that there is always someone better.
If the difference had been just a few levels, he might have still had the heart to catch up and even the confidence to surpass the other in actual combat.
But an eleven-level gap?
That was an insurmountable distance.
Finally, Wei Xiaofeng took a deep breath and said stiffly, "Huo Yuhao, in the future, please give me more guidance."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. "Wei Xiaofeng, let's learn from each other."
After chatting with his classmates for a while, Huo Yuhao declined several invitations and left the academy to head to the Mecha Master Association.
He had an agreement with President Li Yucheng.
If the president had time, he would notify Huo Yuhao in advance using the Soul Tool communicator, and Huo Yuhao could go to the Mecha Master Association to receive guidance.
As the only eighth-level designer in Eastsea City, President Li could teach him many things, and Huo Yuhao had no reason to refuse.
But...
Huo Yuhao glanced at Gu Yuena, who was following behind him, with a strange expression. "Your Excellency, Silver Dragon King, you don't have to be like this."
He knew she was hoping to build a good relationship with a future god-king, but she didn't need to be so... intense about it.
"Now that you've entered the academy, you can take it easy. Go for a walk, talk to your classmates, or make some friends."
Gu Yuena brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and shook her head gently.
"Forget it. You know, not to mention the differences in other aspects, the difference in lifespan alone is vast. They live for a little over a hundred years... and then turn into a pile of loess."
"Di Tian and the others hope that I can have a more relaxed life in the academy, but they never intended for me to form deep friendships with humans. They've already experienced that kind of feeling."
"You've been in the human world for so long. You must understand that feeling."
Huo Yuhao fell silent.
For 10,000 years, Di Tian must have formed close bonds with some members of the Spirit Pagoda, but in the end, he could only watch them die...
Damn, it's the curse of longevity!
"Moreover, I originally planned to go to the Mecha Masters Association to buy some materials to improve myself."
Gu Yuena took out a badge and smiled slightly. "In order to create Battle armor, I studied design under Teacher Leng's guidance. Now, I'm a third-level mecha designer. I can't let this knowledge go to waste just because I'm attending an Academy."
It wasn't that she was boasting, but her talent in this area was genuinely good.
If this person needed her abilities in the future, perhaps she could use it to strengthen their relationship.
She was already "slacking off" enough, with the fierce beasts handling most of the work.
If she didn't put effort into building a relationship with the future God King, she might regret it later.
...
At the Mecha Master Association, watching Huo Yuhao finish designing the blueprints and start crafting on his own, Gu Yuena silently put away her badge and fell into silence.
Taking back her earlier words, her talent might be good, but compared to a god king who was a tenth-level soul master 10,000 years ago, it was probably far behind.
Should she consider changing careers now?
Was it too late to learn blacksmithing?
But what she excelled at wasn't raw strength…
