Chapter 55 Huo Yutong's Little Classroom
After witnessing Electrolux use his profound knowledge to guide the Demon King, the Crimson King, and even the Bear King, Huo Yutong felt both admiration for her teacher and a quiet longing for him.
She also hopes to contribute to the "home" that has accepted her in her own way.
Her strengths, besides her ever-improving necromancy, also lie in the knowledge she gained from Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.
Thus, a bold idea took shape in her mind: to open a door for the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest to understand soul tools.
The proposal was approved by Emperor Tian.
Thus, an unprecedented "special class" began on the soft lawn by the Lake of Life.
The afterglow of the setting sun spread a layer of shattered gold on the lake surface, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the sea of flowers.
Led by Di Tian, the core rulers of the Star Dou Great Forest gathered together, some sitting and some lying down.
Emperor Tian sat calmly in the first row.
Biji and Ziji sat quietly to his left and right, one with a gentle and graceful demeanor and the other with a cold and aloof one.
The most relaxed one was Di Qiu, who transformed into a warm and soft golden blanket, stretching out comfortably and covering the knees of Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji, leaving only her fluffy head peeking out curiously.
Just before Huo Yutong stood before the ferocious beasts, about to speak, several "residents" in her spiritual sea were also discussing amongst themselves.
"Wow! Girl, you've really made quite a splash!" Tianmeng exclaimed. "Giving a lesson to the Beast God Di Tian? Tsk tsk, if this gets back to Shrek Academy, even those old guys in the Sea God Pavilion will be shocked."
Hyotei said, "Be quiet, don't disturb Yutong."
Electrolux's laughter echoed: "In my opinion, Yu Tong's actions have great potential. Moreover, teaching according to aptitude is precisely the joy of teaching."
Even the usually taciturn Crescent Moon let out a low, approving hum.
Encouraged, Huo Yutong's last trace of tension vanished.
She took a deep breath and spoke clearly:
"Dear seniors, today I would like to share some basic knowledge about human soul tools with you."
She held up a metal substrate for the core magic array that had been salvaged from a discarded soul tool:
"A soul tool, simply put, is a device that can guide, store, and amplify soul power, and make it produce specific effects."
Its core lies in the patterns engraved on it, which we call the 'core magic array'.
Xiong Jun yawned, looking somewhat uninterested: "Hmph, all those fancy lines, are they any better than my old bear's sharp claws?"
Huo Yutong was not discouraged and smiled, "Senior Xiong Jun's claws are indestructible. Soul tools are not meant to replace powerful physical strength, but rather to serve as a supplement and extension..."
She began by using the metaphors of "rivers, waterwheels, and mills" to explain the principles and functions of the soul guide in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
The classroom atmosphere gradually became more lively.
The Demon King raised a profound question regarding the design of the core magic array and the matching of energy attributes;
Brigitte succinctly summarized the essence of soul tools as a technique for the precise use of energy;
Even Xiong Jun couldn't help but become curious about the long-range attack soul tool.
Within the sea of consciousness, Tianmeng watched with great interest: "Hey, I didn't expect this big bear and the wooden stake (referring to the Demon King) to be so eager to learn! Yutong is doing a pretty good job as a teacher!"
Hyotei's tone had softened considerably: "The analogy is quite apt. It seems she has indeed put in a lot of effort in the Soul Guidance Department and has a very thorough understanding."
Electrolux nodded with satisfaction: "Excellent. You are neither arrogant nor boastful, but patient and encouraging; you already possess the qualities of a teacher."
As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, night began to fall.
Huo Yutong's first lesson in soul tools was also nearing its end.
Looking at the girl earnestly explaining under the starry sky, Di Tian summarized this special class: "What we have learned today, though only scratching the surface, has allowed us to glimpse a path completely different from that of soul beasts, which rely on bloodlines and innate instincts."
"Human soul tools are not simply a collection of power, but a manifestation of their intelligence."
This path is one that my soul beast clan has never trod, and we have even... looked down upon it. However, this contempt stems from ignorance.
We need to understand and learn about human technology, not to imitate it, but to truly know ourselves and our enemy.
Only by understanding its essence and its strengths and weaknesses can one remain invincible in any future turmoil.
His gaze finally settled on Huo Yutong: "You've worked hard, Yutong. What you did today is of profound significance."
Hearing Di Tian's affirmation, Huo Yutong's face flushed red in the night, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment and warmth.
Di Qiu also got up and gently nuzzled against her, showing affection and encouragement.
Within the sea of consciousness, Electrolux's voice rang out with admiration: "What a magnificent 'invincible position'! Such vision and clarity truly befit a ruler of this realm."
Tianmeng also said, "Goodness, the Beast God is truly something else, his thoughts are really far ahead..."
Hyotei clearly agreed with Tetsu's assessment.
Only Di Tian himself knew that this was not an unfounded worry—if he had not possessed the memories of the parallel world given to him by the God of Time and Space, how could he have foreseen that the "Battle Armor" ten thousand years later would give a human Limit Douluo the capital to contend with him?
After the lesson on soul tools ended, Di Qiu suggested, "Let Daddy tell us a bedtime story." Anyway, before Bi Ji's mother and Zi Ji's mother came back, Di Qiu told her a bedtime story every day, and she slept soundly as usual.
Huo Yutong looked at Di Tian with some surprise, finding it hard to imagine that this majestic beast god would tell bedtime stories.
As night deepened, Biji's cave was warm and peaceful. Di Qiu and Huo Yutong lay side by side on a stone bed covered with soft down.
Di Tian sat on the edge of the bed, his tall figure appearing less imposing in the soft light of the luminous pearl. Bi Ji sat gently not far from him.
Di Tian began to narrate:
"In the ancient times, when the time was not clearly recorded, the world was in chaos and all things were ignorant."
Then, the supreme ruler, the great creator god, was born from nothingness.
He is the source of all spirits. His body is more vast than the galaxy composed of stars… (The following 800 words of praise for the creator god are omitted)
…Di Qiu was sleeping soundly.
"And the Dragon God was His first thirteen offspring, the Dragon God..." (The following 1000 words of praise for the Dragon God are omitted)
Huo Yutong listened quietly. She had secretly imagined that if that man were by her and her mother's side, would he also tell her stories in the same gentle and reliable voice on such a night?
She finally succumbed to sleepiness and drifted off to sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Di Tian's voice gradually softened until it stopped completely.
