N-A-A Chapter 76 Ning Tian's Invitation
Chapter 76 Ning Tian's Invitation
"Um……"
Huo Yuhao tapped his chin in thought.
Having grown accustomed to being alone, Huo Yuhao watched his classmates chatting and laughing together in twos and threes. It was impossible for him not to feel envious, after all, he was only 11 years old and still a child.
It's not that Huo Yuhao's character is bad in the class; he's actually quite popular.
But this applies only to girls.
In class, all the boys had already labeled him as a "public enemy"... which made Huo Yuhao feel a little frustrated.
I wonder what Sister Xiaotao and Teacher Lexuan are thinking... They should agree, right?
"Okay, then please take care of me, Ning Tian and Wu Feng."
"I'm here. It'll be nice to work with you in the future, Yuhao."
After reluctantly shaking hands with Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng turned his face away and refused to look at Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao again.
For some reason, Huo Yuhao sensed an ominous resentment and... from this little red dragon.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just pretend I don't know anything.
To show his sincerity, Ning Tian revealed all three of his soul skills, as well as Wu Feng's soul skills.
Of course, it doesn't really matter whether you talk about it or not. The soul skills of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples are just a few basic ones, which are not a secret to any knowledgeable soul master.
However, what Huo Yuhao was interested in was that Ning Tian's second soul skill was different from the amplification speed of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's second soul skill in the stereotype. It was a soul skill that removed negative status effects and was called "Release".
When asked about the wonders of this soul skill, Ning Tian mysteriously replied that Huo Yuhao would see it during the competition.
The three of them chatted while eating desserts, and their conversation became increasingly natural.
This is exactly what Ning Tian wanted to see.
In fact, she had been paying attention to Huo Yuhao for a long time, not only because of his appearance, but more so because of the intuition she had from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.
As a gemstone-type martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has been used by Ning Rongrong to detect precious and rare metals, but this is not their limit.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, a group of support-type Soul Masters, was able to rise to the top three sects ten thousand years ago and remain standing for ten thousand years, all thanks to their true abilities: business acumen.
Those who possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul are always very perceptive and capable of managing risks. They can decisively abandon cooperation with the Tang Sect, thus avoiding the risk of being affected by the destruction of the Tang Sect.
After witnessing Huo Yuhao wipe out Lan Xuanyu's team, a seeded team from Class 1 of freshmen, with an unknown move, Ning Tian had this intuition.
No matter the cost, I must get closer to Huo Yuhao!
At least for now, Ning Tian's response has been quite successful.
"By the way, Ning Tian, are you planning to continue studying in the Spirit Martial Arts Department?"
Ning Tian was a little puzzled by Huo Yuhao's inexplicable question, but he still answered truthfully, "Yes, what's the problem?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. "That's the problem. What can you possibly learn in the Martial Soul Department?"
"Soul skill control? I remember the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has a technique called [Distraction Control]. This internal technique is more important to you, isn't it?"
"Refine your soul skills? You're a support type, you don't need to fight, and there's no need for you to practice."
"So why are you staying in the Spirit System?"
Ning Tian was taken aback. This... seems to make a lot of sense.
Right, what can the Martial Soul system teach her? Knowledge of identifying Soul Beasts? How to work in a team?
The information within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is clearer, and there's no need to learn it at Shrek Academy.
So why did she stay in the Martial Soul Department?
Huo Yuhao stared at the cup in front of him, turning it as he casually remarked, "Your mental strength is quite good, higher than most newly minted Soul Masters. You must have mastered the control of distraction to the point of mastering the Three Apertures of the Heart, right? If that's the case, why not take advantage of your time and talent to learn about Soul Tools?"
"Huh? A soul tool!"
Ning Tian leaned back, a path she had never imagined.
If we're talking about which of the original three kingdoms' sects in Douluo Continent most detested soul tools, then the Tang Sect or the Body Sect would be close contenders. However, the sect with the highest acceptance was undoubtedly the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. As Zhou Yi once said, the emergence of soul tools blurred the lines between offense and defense—at least that's true. Support-type characters wielding soul cannons could deal damage comparable to offensive-type characters, which naturally made them very popular with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's soul masters.
Putting aside other things, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School used its special channels to purchase a large number of soul tools from the Sun Moon Empire at high prices for the protection of the sect. Disciples also carried defensive soul tools with them when they went out. In this respect, they were many times better than Shrek Academy.
Ning Tian knows how to use things, but learning... Ning Tian has never thought of that.
Wu Feng, who had been silent all along, finally found his chance and said with a hint of sarcasm, "I didn't expect that even the invincible freshman Huo Yuhao has forgotten the glory of a Soul Master. Shouldn't our battles as Soul Masters be purely about honor?"
"The abilities you cultivate yourself are the most reliable and trustworthy. Soul tools are, after all, external objects."
Huo Yuhao knew that the little red dragon was definitely waiting for him somewhere.
After glancing at Ning Tian, who was deep in thought, Huo Yuhao spoke leisurely.
"That's why she can become the young sect leader, while you can only be a maid..."
"What did you say?!"
Wu Feng has a temper that's like a powder keg that's ready to explode at any moment. Moreover, she already had some prejudice against Huo Yuhao, so she slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
Their commotion immediately attracted the attention of the other students in the tea house. Ning Tian quickly made an apologetic gesture to them, and then forcefully pulled Wu Feng down to sit.
"I'm sorry, Yuhao, Fengmei got too excited. I apologize on her behalf."
Huo Yuhao shook his head indifferently, picked up the milk tea on the table, and took a sip.
"Take Tang Ya, the Tang Clan leader, for example. Her sweetheart, Bei Bei, came to me privately, trying to persuade me to join the Tang Clan."
"Beibei is indeed better at talking than Tang Ya. He systematically explained to me his idea of reviving the Tang Sect, which is to combine hidden weapons and soul tools to forge an unprecedented path."
Then, Huo Yuhao chuckled as if he couldn't help it, "And then I asked..."
"[Senior Bei Bei, have you or Senior Tang Ya ever attended the Soul Guidance Department to learn how to use soul tools, even just once?]"
"...Haha, he's not saying anything now."
Huo Yuhao continued, "When I saw that Tang Ya would rather work in this teahouse to earn money than learn about soul tools, I knew that the so-called revival of the Tang Sect was probably just a child's game in their eyes."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "We've gone off on a tangent... I don't know what you're thinking, Ning Tian, but I have to tell you, regardless of whether you have the talent to learn soul tools, staying in the Martial Soul Department is just a waste of time. You don't necessarily have to learn how to make soul tools, even just learning how to use them will make you far superior to these so-called geniuses."
Ning Tian nodded silently. "Thank you, I understand. I will apply to the academy to study in the Soul Guidance Department after the freshman competition!"
Ning Tian's feelings for Shrek Academy might not be that deep. After graduating from Shrek Academy, she would return home to inherit the family business, so there was no point in her staying here as a teacher. Therefore, she wanted to take advantage of the remaining time to learn what she needed to learn.
Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department certainly cannot compare with the Sun Moon Empire, but it is still much stronger than the Heavenly Soul Empire, which has the most traditional mindset.
