Chapter 7 of "Soul Land 2: Huo Yuhao, Join Sun and Moon" begins revealing surprises: Teacher Tang observed the data displayed on the machine, recording it as he read it... Read on to find out!

Teacher Tang observed the data displayed on the machine, recording it as he read it aloud in a booming voice: "Physical strength: Rank 10. Body resilience: Rank 11. Soul power fluctuation: Rank 11. Height: 1.63 meters. Weight: 35 kilograms. No additional soul bones. Overall evaluation: Soul Master. Physical strength assessment: Pending." These stats were extremely average, so Teacher Tang didn't show any reaction. Hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt a bit down. Damn, this body is way too thin only 35 kilograms? But then again, it made sense. In the original story, Huo Yuhao was only eleven at this point. And life in the Duke's Mansion had not been kind to him. Even though Huo Yun'er had taught him how to fish and grill his own food to survive, the Duchess probably had people sabotaging him constantly. *Looks like I'll need to eat well at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy to build up my nutrition. Being too thin isn't good either. For a soul master, physical fitness is crucial. Now that I've joined the Sun Moon Empire, I can basically forget about practicing the Mysterious Heaven Technique. My only option is to rely on pills to improve my physical condition.* "Of course, maybe it's because of that person's influence," he mused. *In the world of Douluo Dalu, the Mysterious Heaven Technique is the ultimate cultivation method. If you ever don't know what to do just use the Mysterious Heaven Technique! It works all the way from the first series to the fifth! Even after Tang San became a God King and spent countless years in the Divine Realm, he still couldn't create a technique stronger than the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Truly, our Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Technique is unparalleled!* Thinking about it, Huo Yuhao felt speechless. He even wondered if Tang San had been hit with a debuff in intelligence otherwise, how had he made zero progress in martial arts development? Just then, Teacher Tang's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Huo Yuhao, next, we'll conduct a strength test." "Understood, Teacher Tang." Huo Yuhao didn't have high expectations. In the original story, his physical strength in the early stages had come mainly from the Mysterious Heaven Technique and the Ice Empress. But right now, he had neither. Naturally, his strength wouldn't be impressive. "The strength test measures your maximum physical force. Of course, you are not allowed to use soul tools. However, you are allowed to use soul power to enhance your strength." Teacher Tang led Huo Yuhao to the Soul Tool Strength Testing Device a large machine with a leather striking pad in the center. The test was simple: punch the pad as hard as possible. Huo Yuhao gathered his soul power and punched the pad. With a loud boom, the leather pad shook slightly. "Strength: Rank 11," Teacher Tang announced, before offering some encouragement. "Don't be discouraged, Huo Yuhao. You are a spiritual type soul master, and your martial soul is an Innate Body Martial Soul. You're an excellent candidate to become a soul engineer. "Your physical stats may be average, but for a soul engineer, the most important thing is always soul power level. "Although your innate soul power is only Rank 1, which means your cultivation speed will be slow, you can compensate by taking pills to boost your soul power." "Thank you for the advice, Teacher Tang!" Huo Yuhao replied with a smile. Truthfully, in the world of Douluo Dalu, relying on pills wasn't considered the proper cultivation method. Sure, pills could help soul masters advance quickly in the early and mid stages, but their effectiveness greatly diminished later on. Plus, over reliance on pills could harm a soul master's potential. This was one of the reasons why the Sun Moon Empire had never produced an Ultimate Douluo. In the original story, both Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen debuted as Soul Kings and were hailed as prodigies. But as soul engineers, they had relied on pills quite a bit. "Huo Yuhao, from today onward, you are officially a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy," Teacher Tang said, picking up a tray from the desk and handing it to him. "This contains your uniform, the student handbook, an academy map, and the key to your dormitory. "I'll take you to your dorm in a little while." "A little while?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled. "Yes, because you need to wait for Teacher Xuan Ziwen. He heard that you have a spiritual type Innate Body Martial Soul, and he's quite interested in meeting you," Teacher Tang explained with a smile. Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. Oh great, Xuan Ziwen this soul tool fanatic probably thinks I'm some kind of lab rat. As far as he knew, he was probably the only student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy with an Innate Body Martial Soul. After all, people born with Innate Body Martial Souls usually either joined the Body Sect or were forcibly taken by them. Someone like him who had willingly come to the Sun Moon Empire and enrolled in its academy was incredibly rare. It made sense that Xuan Ziwen would take notice. A few moments later, a young man with a stern expression entered the classroom. Teacher Tang immediately stepped forward respectfully. "Teacher Xuan!" Xuan Ziwen nodded calmly. He was one of Mingde Hall's elite students and an Eighth Rank Soul Engineer, giving him extremely high status at the academy. He looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "So, you're the one with an Innate Body Martial Soul and a spiritual attribute? What's your name?" "Teacher Xuan, my name is Huo Yuhao," Huo Yuhao replied politely. "Huo Yuhao... can you show me your martial soul?" Xuan Ziwen asked, his eyes glinting with excitement almost as if he were about to slice Huo Yuhao open for research. "Of course, Teacher Xuan," Huo Yuhao responded. He activated his martial soul. His eyes gleamed with golden light, and a white soul ring rose from beneath him. "Hmm? A ten year soul ring?" Xuan Ziwen frowned, visibly disappointed. After scanning Huo Yuhao for a moment, he asked, "So your martial soul is... your eyes?" "Yes! I call it Spirit Eyes!" Huo Yuhao said confidently. "A rare martial soul indeed," Xuan Ziwen muttered. "What was your innate soul power?" "Rank 1." "...Rank 1?" Xuan Ziwen was briefly stunned. Then his face showed clear disappointment. He had heard that a student with an Innate Body Martial Soul had arrived at the academy and had considered taking him as a disciple. After all, a spiritual type Innate Body Martial Soul was perfect for soul engineering someone like that could help him develop even stronger soul tools. Xuan Ziwen had spent his entire life pursuing the dream of creating the most powerful soul tools. But Huo Yuhao's current stats were far from impressive nowhere near his standard for a personal disciple. "Can you show me your soul skill?" Xuan Ziwen asked. Though he had very low expectations, he still needed to follow protocol. Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. Finally! A chance to showcase my strengths! Since he had already joined the Sun Moon Empire, he had to leverage his abilities as much as possible. Learning soul tool technology would allow him to build up resources. Impressing Xuan Ziwen now could be hugely beneficial for his future. Huo Yuhao nodded. "Of course, Teacher Xuan. However, my soul skill is a bit special please don't resist it." Xuan Ziwen barely paid attention. "Mhm." After all, what kind of powerful soul skill could a ten year soul ring possibly have? (End of chapter.) Thank you for the support, friends.
