Chapter 198 Helping Seedlings Grow by Pulling Them Up
Xuan Ziwen immediately took a step back and turned to look at the laboratory door.
A black-haired girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old walked in, rubbing her eyes and looking groggy.
"Teacher, why are you here so early? That's rare."
The girl seemed not to see Huo Yuhao at all, and simply greeted Xuan Ziwen lazily. Then she walked to the large experimental table, plopped down, and slumped over with her hands on the table.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Xuan Ziwen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
You see, Xuan Ziwen is thinking of leaving now, so he can't let others know that he's going to Shrek Academy, otherwise it won't be so easy for him to leave later.
Huo Yuhao also turned his gaze to the newcomer.
Even without Xuan Ziwen's introduction, Huo Yuhao could tell from his appearance and the time he entered that the person was Ju Zi, a person who was obsessive to the point of being crazy.
Huo Yuhao always tries to stay as far away from people like this as possible.
"I'll tell you later..."
Xuan Ziwen mouthed something to Huo Yuhao, then coughed twice and said to Ju Zi, "Ju Zi, wake up! Can't you see there's a new person here?"
Orange, who was lying on the table, waved her right hand like she was shooing away flies and said with dissatisfaction, "Stop making noise, let me sleep a little longer. You know I stayed up very late last night."
Her soft voice had a peculiar, irresistible quality that made even Huo Yuhao glance at her.
Xuan Ziwen said somewhat helplessly, "Forget it, let's just ignore her. That's just how she is. Her name is Ju Zi, and she's also one of my students. You can call her 'senior sister' or just call her by her name. She was researching soul tools until very late last night, working on an experiment until midnight, which is why she got up now. I have a total of four students; the other three have gone out for training and probably won't be back for a few days."
"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded listlessly.
Huo Yuhao was not interested in the others. There were only a few students in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who interested him, and obviously, they did not include Xuan Ziwen and the other students.
"Also, now that you've already reached the fourth ring, you should add more spirit rings as soon as possible. Stagnation in spirit power is a major taboo for us spirit masters. Although I'm reluctant to admit it, at least at this stage, powerful spirit tools do require powerful spirit masters to use them."
"The main problem is that I haven't been able to find a suitable soul beast. I'm quite picky about soul skills..." Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile.
"Besides the Evil Eye Tyrant, what other spirit beasts does the Sun Moon Empire have?"
After a moment's thought, Xuan Ziwen said, "Although the overall quality of the soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire may not be comparable to that of the Star Dou Great Forest next to your Shrek Academy, different regions have different characteristics of soul beasts. Although I don't know much about the distribution of soul beasts, there might be some information in the library. Besides, if there's a chance, I can accompany you to look for them, and we can add any suitable ones we find."
"Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded.
"Huo Yuhao, you still haven't explained the workings of that aircraft to me?"
Seeing that Ju Zi was really asleep, and even a slight snoring could be heard, Xuan Ziwen continued the previous topic. This question had been piquing Xuan Ziwen's interest, and if he didn't get an explanation, he wouldn't be in the mood to continue his research.
"It's very simple, it mainly involves a theory for flowing objects."
To make the story easier to tell, Huo Yuhao magnified the wings in his mental sea.
"There's a theory about flowing gases and liquids: the faster the flow, the smaller the force it exerts on its surroundings; conversely, the slower the flow, the greater the force it exerts on its surroundings. Airplane wings cleverly utilize this principle. By changing the flow speed of the air on the upper and lower sides of the wing, the aircraft gains the force to counteract gravity. Therefore, by using all energy to provide propulsion, it can achieve flight speeds far beyond what normal flight soul guides can reach."
In the mental image, Huo Yuhao even played a simulated scene.
"This principle is actually easy to verify. Professor Xuan, you can simulate a similar scenario in your own laboratory."
Xuan Ziwen fell silent.
Xuan Ziwen never expected that what had puzzled him so much would be so simple, with a description of less than a hundred words in total.
Xuan Ziwen swallowed hard, then stiffly asked, "How many more of these so-called principles do you have?"
"I don't think there are a thousand, but I'd say a hundred or so. After all, they are all things that I gradually discovered and summarized from the details of life. Life may seem simple, but it is actually very complex. There is no reasonable explanation for many unknown phenomena. What I can extract are the most basic rules."
"Base……"
After pondering these two words, Xuan Ziwen suddenly gave a bitter laugh.
If this is considered basic, then most of their soul masters probably haven't even scratched the surface...
"Revealing the most direct laws governing the world as we see it, and applying them to our lives, is the driving force behind the progress of human society, isn't it? Soul tools are ultimately just tools for applying these laws."
"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore."
Xuan Ziwen suddenly coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, in Xuan Ziwen's previous belief, soul tools were the power that drove human progress.
Now, I've actually been persuaded by a little guy.
Glug~
The sudden sound broke the silence.
"I'm so hungry..."
After lying down for a while, Orange sat up, rubbing her stomach, and looked around at her surroundings with a bit of confusion.
"Teacher Xuan?"
Looks like they've come to the lab...
Orange stood up slowly, about to walk outside.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ju Zi stopped moving and turned around sharply to look at Huo Yuhao.
"Who are you?"
Xuan Ziwen introduced, "This is your new junior. He will be studying with me from now on. If he has any questions while I'm not around, you'll need to help him answer them. Do you know his name is Huo Yuhao?"
Ju Zi then gave Huo Yuhao a serious look, and seeing that he didn't make any move, she said with some dissatisfaction, "I don't have that much time. I still need to continue researching my things. Okay, I'm leaving. I really need to find something to eat. I'm starving. I haven't even eaten breakfast yet."
As she spoke, she waved and left the laboratory again.
Xuan Ziwen explained somewhat awkwardly to Huo Yuhao, "The learning atmosphere here is quite relaxed. Don't let your senior sister Ju Zi's somewhat aloof demeanor fool you; she's extremely talented in soul tools. She's already a level five soul tool master. The only thing she lacks is cultivation level."
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly and said, "It's my fault. I didn't take the initiative to greet my senior."
"Speaking of which, I've also met some students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and I've noticed that they generally possess a considerable level of soul power at a very young age. It's not uncommon to see students under twenty reaching level sixty. Is this all achieved by consuming rare and precious herbs? That would be far too many."
Xuan Ziwen sighed and said, "It's like pulling up seedlings to help them grow... In order to cultivate students with talent in soul tool making, the academy does use some special methods to help them improve their cultivation, but very few of them actually use rare and precious materials. Instead, it's a method with side effects that greatly affect their future development. Don't ask about this; it's a secret here."
