Chapter 25 The title writer was fired by Zhou Yi
Zhou Yi seemed completely unconcerned about the students' reactions, and turned around to write two large characters on the blackboard: Attack and Defense.
After finishing writing, she faced the students again, "I know that most of you are unhappy about me making you run laps for no reason and expelling one person. You just didn't dare to show it because of the pressure I put on you. I don't need to explain to you."
"Class will now begin."
"You should all recognize the two words I wrote on the blackboard: Attack and Defense. Today, for our first lesson, I'll talk about the principles of attack and defense for Soul Masters. Since ancient times, Soul Masters have been divided into many types based on the abilities of their Martial Souls, including Power Attack, Agility Attack, Support, Food, Control, and Defense types, among others. Some Soul Masters develop to their limits in one direction, while others develop in a balanced way; the various cultivation methods are countless. Wang Dong, you answer this: among the Soul Masters of each type, who is more adept at offense, and who should lean more towards defense and support?"
Wang Dong stood up and answered without hesitation: "Naturally, the three systems of strong attack, agility attack, and control are more inclined to offense, while the three systems of support, food, and defense are more inclined to defense."
"Sit down." Zhou Yi interrupted him, waved her hand, and a strong surge of soul power rushed over, silencing him and making him sit back down.
"If this were over four thousand years ago, before the Sun Moon Continent clashed with our Douluo Continent, Wang Dong's answer would have been correct. But today, his answer is utterly wrong. Huo Yuhao, tell me, why?"
Huo Yuhao stood up somewhat helplessly. Although he didn't know what went wrong and caused the plot to change, it made him feel vaguely uneasy.
Knowing that his existence would inevitably have a significant impact on the plot, Huo Yuhao reiterated in his mind that this was not a novel, but reality, and that his every move could have unknown consequences, so he had to be extremely careful.
After all, before accumulating enough strength, being familiar with the plot was his only advantage...
But now we need to consider how to answer Zhou Yi's question...
Huo Yuhao organized his thoughts in his mind and said carefully, "Because the tools used by humans have made tremendous progress..."
"Hmm?" Zhou Yi didn't expect Huo Yuhao to answer like that, not directly answering her question at all. But seeing that he didn't seem to have finished speaking, Zhou Yi decided to give Huo Yuhao a chance and gestured with her eyes for him to continue.
"Perhaps not everyone has noticed, but those familiar with the armies of the major empires composed of ordinary people will know that a seven-person squad composed of ordinary people can actually hunt down ordinary ten-year or even hundred-year-old soul beasts just like a soul master squad."
"In such a team, those who are strong and powerful are mostly positioned at the front, using shields, armor, swords, spears, axes, and other tools to directly confront the attacks of the soul beasts. Meanwhile, those who are agile and fast move around the battlefield, responsible for harassing the enemy with bows and arrows from outside the main battle line, disrupting the rhythm of the soul beasts' attacks. The best among them can even use bows and arrows to launch powerful attacks on the soul beasts' weak points, such as their eyes, which can play a decisive role in the outcome of the battle."
"They are all ordinary people who are slightly stronger. Without shields and weapons, they would be absolutely not qualified to challenge a hundred-year-old soul beast. However, by using weapons, the hundred-year-old soul beast that ordinary people fear would die under the encirclement of the team. Being able to use tools to accomplish things that are impossible under normal circumstances has always been one of the characteristics that distinguish humans from soul beasts."
"Now, the most suitable tool for Soul Masters has appeared—the Soul Tool, a tool powered by Soul Power. As long as Soul Power is injected, it can perform a series of functions such as attack, defense, control, healing, and assistance. With the help of the Soul Tool, as long as a Soul Master has Soul Power, even if he has a useless Martial Soul, he still has the qualification to compete with ordinary Soul Masters of the same level."
"Similarly, because of the diversity of soul tools, even a healing-type soul master whose martial soul can only play a healing role can take out a shield soul tool to stand in front as a defensive-type soul master, or an offensive soul tool to perform melee or ranged output..."
"It can be said that the only basis for determining what position a Soul Master is suitable for in a team is no longer the Martial Soul. The Soul Master's ability to use various Soul Tools must also be considered. With the help of a suitable Soul Tool, a Soul Master can not only make up for the deficiencies of his Martial Soul in certain aspects, but also cooperate with the Martial Soul to obtain even greater power."
"That's my answer."
Zhou Yi's serious expression finally softened a bit. "What you said is very good. No wonder you were able to become a special guest student. Indeed, it is precisely because of the emergence of soul tools that offense and defense have become blurred, which is also the topic I will be discussing today. Sit down."
"As everyone knows, soul tools have developed rapidly over the past few thousand years. What the Sun Moon Continent brought back were more rare materials and basic methods for crafting soul tools. After these thousands of years of development, soul tool crafting has become increasingly sophisticated, and its power has grown ever greater..."
Zhou Yi was speaking eloquently on the podium, while Huo Yuhao was gazing out the window, lost in thought...
According to the original work, Shrek Academy, and even the three great empires of Douluo, had a huge prejudice against soul tools... I wonder if my comparison of soul tools to tools and weapons can improve this perception?
Ha...maybe not. Those extremists probably just think they need weapons because their soul power and soul skills aren't strong enough...
The road to promoting soul tools is long and arduous. Should we wait for the original plot to unfold? Once people have been hurt by soul tools, they will naturally take them seriously.
After this semester, I'll focus on soul tools. I wonder if the knowledge I learned in my previous life can be applied to soul tools...
"That concludes this morning's lessons. I suggest you all have a good lunch. Physical training will begin this afternoon. get out of class dismissed. Huo Yuhao, come to my office."
After saying this, Zhou Yi turned and left without any hesitation, even though the morning bell had not yet rung.
Even after Zhou Yi walked out of the classroom, the room remained quiet, with most people still immersed in Zhou Yi's earlier narration.
Although this teacher Zhou doesn't play by the rules, they all have to admit that what he said makes a lot of sense.
Huo Yuhao got up and followed Zhou Yi out. Apart from the teachers' office building located behind the purple and black teaching buildings, there were simple offices in each teaching building.
Huo Yuhao followed Zhou Yi to an office not far from the classroom. Zhou Yi gestured for him to close the door, then walked behind her desk and sat down. Despite her advanced age, her movements were anything but frail.
My computer malfunctioned and wouldn't connect to Wi-Fi. I spent over two hours searching online for fixes but couldn't get it working. In the end, I reinstalled the system at noon. After waking up, it took another hour to restore the computer to its usual state. I spent the whole day on the computer. If it weren't for half a chapter saved up, I might not have been able to update tonight, since I still need to write tomorrow morning.
