Chapter 35 Huo Yuhao: A person cannot be without principles!
Shen Yi's gaze swept around the classroom, finally settling on the boy with sky-blue eyes.
Her smile deepened as she slowly spoke, "As for the Soul Tool Production Committee—"
The whole class perked up their ears and held their breath in anticipation.
"Then it's Huo Yuhao."
"Om one"
Huo Yuhao felt his mind go completely blank.
he?
Soul Tool Production Committee?
All the students around him immediately turned their attention to him.
Huo Yuhao almost instinctively stood up abruptly.
"Old—Teacher!"
His face flushed red, his hands waved frantically, and his voice stammered with nervousness: "This—this won't do!"
"I—I have never learned anything about soul tools, not even the most basic principles."
"I only know how to grill fish."
"I really can't do this job, you—you should choose someone else!"
The boy's voice carried an almost stubborn honesty.
In his view, being a class leader is a heavy responsibility.
Since they are "Soul Guidance Device Committee Members", they must have real expertise in this area, or at least be knowledgeable in it.
It's irresponsible of the other students for someone like me, a complete novice, to occupy a position without doing anything!
However, before Shen Yi could speak, the lazy voice in Huo Yuhao's mental sea instantly became agitated.
"Ugh! I'm so mad!"
The chubby body of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rolled wildly in the sea of consciousness, exclaiming with exasperation, "Huo Yuhao! Are you stupid?! Huh? Are you stupid?!"
"Those are contribution points! They're the tickets to becoming stronger!"
"Didn't you hear what the teacher just said? With contribution points, you can enter that Spirit Ascension Platform!"
"Going inside will increase the age of your spirit rings!"
Even so, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gave a haughty snort, her tone softening slightly: "Although, I am an unprecedented million-year-old soul beast, the king of the Ice Silkworm clan, possessing both wisdom and beauty."
"The first spirit ring I gave you is a super spirit ring that is unique in the entire continent, possessing four spirit skills! There is no need for such low-level methods to increase its age."
"but!"
Tianmeng Bingcan suddenly changed the subject, her tone becoming serious: "Yuhao, you need to broaden your horizons!"
"Although I'm powerful, I can only provide you with your first spirit ring. You'll still need to cultivate and absorb your second, third, and even ninth spirit rings!"
"What if the age of the spirit beasts you hunt in the future isn't ideal?"
"If you don't have enough contribution points to get into the Spirit Ascension Platform, how will you upgrade those trash spirit rings?"
"A lower-level spirit ring means weaker spirit skills, and thus weaker overall strength!"
"How can you become a god if you're weak?"
When the words "becoming a god" were mentioned, Tianmeng Bingcan's voice was filled with fervor.
"Yuhao, you need to understand, I've staked my entire fortune, my life, and even my million years of cultivation on you!"
"My only hope is that you will one day cultivate into a god, and then take me with you to ascend to the divine realm to enjoy eternal life!"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still hesitating, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed and decided to use a more cruel reality to stimulate this silly boy.
"And do you think you're very strong now?"
"Do you think you can snatch the position of class monitor or vice-monitor just because you don't want to be a committee member?"
Stop dreaming!
"I just used my mental power to secretly scan this classroom."
"Although most of the people here are one-ring Soul Masters, there are quite a few Great Soul Masters who have already reached the second ring!"
"For example, that guy named Tang Wulin, and that Xie Xie, and that little girl with pink and blue hair who just came in—"
""
"Even those Soul Masters who are at the first ring level like you generally have a Soul Power level of thirteen or higher!"
"And what about you?"
"Your soul power is only level eleven!"
"You're at the bottom of the class! You're the worst student! Your starting point was already lower than everyone else's."
"If you don't seize every opportunity to acquire resources, if you don't earn more contribution points to exchange for cultivation resources, how will you turn the tables? How will you catch up with those geniuses?"
"So, forget about whether you can do it or not, just grab your spot first! You can always learn if you don't know how!"
Tianmeng Bingcan patiently and earnestly persuaded him, clearly worried sick about Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao remained standing, his eyes flickering, but his stubbornness had not diminished in the slightest.
He silently replied in his heart, "Brother Tianmeng, I know you're doing this for my own good."
"I also want to become stronger."
"But—there must be a bottom line in life."
"My mother taught me from a young age that a person can be poor or weak, but cannot lack integrity or be dishonest."
"If I were to take on a position that I am completely incapable of fulfilling just to contribute points, that would be deceiving my teachers and classmates."
"To serve as a member of the Soul Tool Committee, one must at least have some knowledge of Soul Tools, but I—truly know nothing about them."
""
"I feel uneasy holding onto these resources that I've acquired. They're like a hot potato."
Although the boy's voice was still immature, it carried an undeniable firmness.
Within the sea of spirit, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was stunned.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh.
"well----"
"What a stubborn mule."
"Forget it, I don't know if I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck or eight lifetimes of good deeds to have chosen such a silly boy like you."
"but----"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm mumbled as she turned over.
"This unyielding spirit may be more important than talent on the path of cultivation."
"Whatever you want. At worst, I'll have to work harder in the future and come up with some other solutions for you."
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to refuse again, and even intended to bow and apologize.
Shen Yi on the podium wasn't angry at all. Instead, he looked at Huo Yuhao's embarrassed yet determined expression and laughed even more happily.
"Huo Yuhao, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."
Shen Yi interrupted him softly.
"Do you know why I specifically chose you?"
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then shook his head blankly.
"I don't understand, teacher."
Shen Yi stepped down from the podium and came to Huo Yuhao, looking gently into his eyes.
"Because of your martial spirit."
"My martial spirit?"
Huo Yuhao subconsciously touched his eyes.
"That's right, Spirit Eye."
Shen Yi explained.
"Although you know nothing about soul tools right now, as a teacher, I value your potential."
"What's most needed for creating a soul tool, especially for inscribing the core magic array? It's powerful mental strength, meticulous observation, and precise control!"
"As the owner of a spirit-type martial soul, you have an innate advantage in this aspect that others cannot match."
""
At this point, Shen Yi patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, his tone encouraging: "Even if you are a blank sheet of paper now, you are still a blank sheet of paper most suitable for drawing the most beautiful picture."
"And, as I said before, this is just an experiment."
"The class officers at Shrek Academy are not appointed for life."
"Each semester, we will conduct a new election and adjustment based on everyone's performance and wishes."
"Right now, everyone actually has little experience in making real soul tools, so we're all on the same starting line."
""
"If you feel you are not up to the task during this semester, or if a more suitable candidate emerges, we can replace you then."
"But now, the teacher is willing to give you this trust and this opportunity."
Shen Yi bent down slightly, looked Huo Yuhao in the eye, and asked earnestly, "Huo Yuhao, would you like to give it a try? For the sake of the class, and also to discover your own potential."
Looking at Teacher Shen Yi so close to him, and feeling the heavy trust and expectation in her words, Huo Yuhao felt a lump in his throat.
During his ten years in the White Tiger Duke's mansion, no one had ever trusted him like this before.
No one ever thought he had "potential".
Everyone considered him a piece of trash, a bastard, and a superfluous person.
But after only one day here, he felt an unprecedented warmth and respect.
The teacher did not look down on him because of his low rank or his poor background; instead, she saw his strengths.
Even Tianmeng said that he would seize the opportunity.
Since the teacher has said so, and since this is also for the sake of cultivation—
Then what reason do I have to back down?
Don't know how? Then learn!
Study like crazy!
We must not let down Teacher Shen's trust! Nor can we let down Dean Lin for recruiting us into this school!
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, forcing back the warmth in his eyes.
He straightened his back, nodded vigorously, and said loudly, "Teacher, I'm willing!"
"I will definitely study hard!"
Shen Yi nodded in satisfaction, straightened up, and walked back to the podium.
"Very good, that's the kind of drive you should have."
"So, all the committee positions have been finalized."
She looked around the room with a mysterious smile on her face.
"Next, we'll get to the main event."
"One squad leader and three deputy squad leaders."
"These four positions not only mean more points of contribution, but also that you will become the leaders of this class and a symbol of the class's strength."
"Therefore, this time we won't be holding any speeches or campaigning sessions, nor will we be making any appointments."
"At Shrek Academy, might makes right."
Shen Yi waved his hand, and a light screen lit up on the blackboard.
"For the next assessment, I will take you into a virtual space."
"In that space, you can freely unleash your martial spirit and soul skills without worrying about getting hurt."
"The rules are simple: free-for-all."
"Everyone can form teams freely, or they can go it alone."
"The last four people still standing on the field are our class monitor and deputy class monitor!"
"As for who will be the squad leader and who will be the deputy squad leader, that will depend on your performance in the end."
Upon hearing this, the whole class erupted in uproar.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er, who had been sitting by the window, suddenly looked up, a glint of light flashing in her large, pinkish-blue eyes.
She's definitely going to be the class monitor!
