The next day, after greeting Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao came to the Soul Tool Department's teaching building alone.
Unlike the surrounding Spirit Department teaching buildings, there were significantly fewer students around the Soul Tool Department, which was enough to show the Soul Tool Department's status in Shrek Academy.
Huo Yuhao went to the notice board downstairs to take a look, then entered the teaching building and came to the door of an office.
He had just seen on the notice board that anyone interested in soul tools could come to this office for consultation.
He knocked on the door, and after hearing a voice say "Come in," he opened the door and walked in.
The office space was not particularly large; a long desk was placed in the center, where three teachers were sitting. Hearing Huo Yuhao enter, they all looked up at him.
One of them stood up and asked enthusiastically:
"Hello, are you a new student? Interested in our Soul Tool Department?"
"Yes."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, took out a badge, and handed it over.
"Huo Yuhao, first-year new student, Rank 2 Soul Engineer. I wanted to see the teaching level of the academy's Soul Tool Department."
"Rank 2?!"
The three teachers exclaimed in unison.
They exchanged glances, and their breathing became rapid.
The Soul Tool Department had always been suppressed by the Spirit Department because it could never recruit soul masters with excellent talent.
Most students in the Soul Tool Department were even picked up by the department after failing the Spirit Department's assessment in their third year.
For the Soul Tool Department, young people with excellent talent who were willing to join voluntarily were extremely precious.
It was for this reason that the Soul Tool Department specially posted a notice on the bulletin board saying that anyone interested could come and take a look. The Spirit Department would never bother to do such a thing.
They didn't expect that they could actually find such a good seedling of this level in this way.
A Rank 2 Soul Engineer! You should know that students in the Soul Tool Department usually only become Rank 2 Soul Engineers in their third or fourth year. They had never seen a student like Huo Yuhao who had the level of a Rank 2 Soul Engineer before enrolling.
Huo Yuhao observed their changing expressions with a smile, his heart feeling much more at ease.
It seemed that his level was quite good even within the Soul Tool Department of Shrek Academy.
His knowledge of soul tools was certainly not self-taught; he had asked Dai Hao to find a specialized Soul Engineer to teach him.
That was a Rank 6 Soul Engineer, which was quite good considering the soul tool level of the original three kingdoms of Douluo. After all, even searching throughout the original three kingdoms of Douluo, only Shrek Academy had Rank 8 Soul Engineers. Outside of Shrek Academy, the highest was only a Rank 7 Soul Engineer.
He had already obtained the Rank 2 Soul Engineer badge more than a year ago. Now that he had broken through to the Great Soul Master level and possessed the powerful soul skill Spirit Detection, he was even confident in crafting Rank 3 soul tools.
The teachers calmed their breathing, exchanged glances, and then all put on enthusiastic smiles.
The one in the lead said solicitously:
"That... Huo Yuhao, right? To be honest with you, your level is very exceptional among new students, so we want to test your level, is that okay?"
"Okay, here?"
Huo Yuhao was not surprised by this; he had already prepared to show off a bit.
Another teacher repeatedly shook his head.
"No, you can't demonstrate fully here, and our level is also relatively limited. We'll take you to the Soul Tool Testing Area to find someone who can evaluate your level, is that okay?"
So that's how it is.
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
He understood what they wanted to do.
They were clearly afraid that making a decision on their own would mess things up, so they planned to directly recommend Huo Yuhao to the higher-ups of the Soul Tool Department.
This was fine, it was exactly what Huo Yuhao wanted, and he had no reason to refuse.
So he smiled and nodded.
"No problem."
"Okay, follow me!"
The leading teacher nodded excitedly, waved to Huo Yuhao, and walked out of the office first.
Huo Yuhao quickly followed him, heading towards the "Soul Tool Testing Area" they mentioned.
Along the way, this teacher kept trying to get close to Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao responded with smiles one by one, their relationship becoming much closer.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived in front of a giant building. The teacher showed his identification to the guard at the door and then led Huo Yuhao inside.
Soon, Huo Yuhao saw what the so-called "Soul Tool Testing Area" was like.
The area was tens of thousands of square meters, and the roar of countless giant cannons constantly echoed here. Countless Soul Engineers sat at soul tool crafting tables, lowering their heads and tinkering with something.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but widen his mouth.
He had also been to the soul tool crafting field in Star Luo City, but the scene there was like the difference between a Titled Douluo and an ordinary person compared to the sight before him.
No wonder even though the Soul Tool Department was so looked down upon at Shrek Academy, it still possessed the strongest soul tool technology level in the original three kingdoms of Douluo. Just the research facilities and research area were completely on a different level.
The teacher, however, was used to it. He led Huo Yuhao through various setups, and soon, they found a middle-aged muscular man.
He pointed at Huo Yuhao and said respectfully to the strong man:
"Director, this new student named Huo Yuhao is already a Rank 2 Soul Engineer. The situation is special, so I brought him directly to see you."
"Rank 2 Soul Engineer?"
Fan Yu's originally impatient expression also changed slightly as he looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao stood tall and straight, accepting his gaze.
This Fan Yu was clearly a higher-up in the Soul Tool Department. If he could leave a good impression on him, Huo Yuhao's development in the Soul Tool Department would undoubtedly be much easier.
After looking at Huo Yuhao for a while, Fan Yu let out a light breath.
He nodded to the teacher who brought Huo Yuhao.
"Thank you for bringing him here. Go back to your work. I'll handle everything from now on."
"Yes."
The teacher nodded respectfully and left the Soul Tool Testing Area.
Fan Yu turned to face Huo Yuhao and pointed to the soul tool crafting table next to him.
"You said you are a Rank 2 Soul Engineer, right? Then come and show me your crafting level. If you are qualified, I can take you as my student."
Huo Yuhao asked curiously:
"Um, excuse me, who are you?"
Becoming a disciple was very important for soul masters and should not be done casually.
Fan Yu saw through his thoughts at a glance and said lightly:
"I am one of the only two Rank 8 Soul Engineers at Shrek Academy. Do you still have questions?"
