Huo Yuhao was walking along the tree-lined path toward the Body Sect, his mind still replaying the One-word Battle Armor assignment that Teacher Shen Yi had announced on the podium today.
Just at this moment.
"Yuhao..."
A voice filled with deep emotion suddenly resonated within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.
It was none other than Skydream Ice Worm!
At this moment, Skydream Ice Worm was lazily sprawled out in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. Its chubby face was filled with a complex expression as it watched the massive Shrek Academy outside, letting out a long sigh.
"The things you need to learn inside this floating Shrek Academy... are just ridiculously numerous!"
Skydream Ice Worm rolled over in the Sea of Consciousness, its tone laced with profound shock.
"Brother Tianmeng finally understands now. The things you humans need to learn and master are truly numerous! No wonder you humans were able to rise up and become so formidable in just ten thousand years!"
While lamenting, Skydream Ice Worm had to admit that what this monster academy taught was absolutely the top-tier, best stuff on the Douluo Continent!
If one could thoroughly understand and master all of these things, one would absolutely be able to become an unrivaled powerhouse who could walk sideways!
It was just a pity...
The time and energy required to learn all of this was simply too much! It was practically a bottomless pit!
You have to know, in Skydream Ice Worm's original grand "God-making plan," the path it had planned for Huo Yuhao was quite simple and crude!
In its vision, Huo Yuhao only needed to steadily increase his Spirit Power Rank, fuse Spirit Rings, and then naturally make a Breakthrough to the hundredth Rank, and undergo Ascension to become a god!
Of course, even if additional means were needed, human Spirit Tools were already enough. With Huo Yuhao's mental attribute Spirit, and since his Spirit was also eyes, learning Spirit Tools should be quite easy.
Skydream Ice Worm was well aware of just how powerful the lethality of those high-level Spirit Tools was in the human World!
Letting Huo Yuhao learn this extra life-saving skill was also a very good choice.
But who would have thought!
Ever since Huo Yuhao entered this floating Shrek Academy, Skydream Ice Worm felt its perception had been completely overturned!
Besides traditional Spirit Tools, there were also these finely divided and hardcore professions like Mecha Designer, Mecha Manufacturer, Mecha Repairman, and Blacksmith popping up!
And now, Teacher Shen Yi had directly assigned homework in class, requiring Huo Yuhao to manufacture three parts of a One-word Battle Armor within six months!
"Thank goodness! This is truly a stroke of luck!"
Skydream Ice Worm patted its chest with its chubby little claws, looking like it had just had a narrow escape.
"It's a good thing Tang Wulin and Xie Xie and those other kids are willing to help you form a team! Otherwise, if you, Huo Yuhao, were really left to learn from scratch, to chew through all that Blacksmithing, designing..."
"My heavens! Who knows how much time that would take! Your talent might even be wasted! I've heard about human growth periods; isn't there a Peak period of growth before a certain age?"
Skydream Ice Worm had forgotten a lot of this information, but quickly thought of something and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Phew—it's a good thing Brother Tianmeng already sacrificed myself to you and became your Wisdom Spirit Ring!"
Skydream Ice Worm stretched lazily in the Sea of Consciousness, recalling its own long years.
"Back when Brother Tianmeng was still a Spirit Beast, life was so comfortable! Every day, I only needed to eat until full, then sleep, then eat again, and as time passed, I would naturally grow stronger!"
Although, it had to be said that the speed of getting stronger by eating and sleeping was indeed relatively slow.
However, Skydream Ice Worm absolutely did not dislike that kind of slacker lifestyle! It could even be said that it quite enjoyed it!
Unlike humans now, who, in order to get stronger, almost literally worked themselves to death!
And now, as Huo Yuhao's Wisdom Spirit Ring, there wasn't much Skydream Ice Worm could do.
Its only task now was to constantly urge Huo Yuhao to Cultivate diligently!
Hearing these words from Skydream Ice Worm, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but fall silent. What Skydream Ice Worm said was indeed true; human lifespan was limited, and the growth period was only so long. If he spent his time on many places he shouldn't, it might be a waste.
"Yuhao, don't just sit there racking your brain alone!"
Skydream Ice Worm rolled over in the Sea of Consciousness and seriously suggested to Huo Yuhao.
"Have you forgotten that you still have a huge backer in this academy?"
"Brother Tianmeng remembers clearly that your teacher, Mu Ye, is not only the Sect Master of the Body Sect, but he also holds the titles of [four-word battle armor Master] and [Red-rank mecha Master]!"
Hearing Skydream Ice Worm mention Mu Ye, Huo Yuhao's footsteps came to a sudden halt, and a bright light instantly flashed in his clear eyes!
That's right! How could he have forgotten this identity of Teacher Mu Ye?
Skydream Ice Worm continued excitedly.
"Yuhao! Do you want to go ask for Mu Ye's opinion right now?"
"Since that guy can walk to the extreme on both the paths of Battle Armor and mecha, his understanding must be thorough! Maybe Mu Ye can directly help you on your currently confused path of growth!"
Skydream Ice Worm said with certainty.
"He is your personal teacher, after all. With his vision, he will definitely be able to offer many useful, constructive suggestions based on your specialty as a Soul Engineer! Brother Tianmeng knows you want to dabble in professions like Mecha Manufacturer, but... Brother Tianmeng thinks it's better to get advice from someone who knows the ropes."
In fact, this was a helpless move for Skydream Ice Worm.
Although it had lived for many years and had terrifying Mental Force, in the end, it was just an ice silkworm that ate and slept!
Regarding these complex, rapidly developing high-tech systems of mechas and Battle Armors, Skydream Ice Worm was now completely in the dark and didn't know how to provide any substantial advice to Huo Yuhao anymore!
Therefore, whenever it encountered such professional high-tech problems, Skydream Ice Worm would decisively choose to "pass the buck" and let Huo Yuhao go directly to seek help from Mu Ye, this true expert!
"Brother Tianmeng, you are right!"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. His previously furrowed brows instantly smoothed out, and he nodded.
"I will go find Teacher Mu Ye right now!"
Huo Yuhao felt that Skydream Ice Worm's suggestion was indeed good; it was like a word that woke a dreamer!
Without any hesitation, Huo Yuhao immediately quickened his pace and headed directly in the direction of the Body Sect's station to find Mu Ye!
In the upcoming Soul Engineer system, was it better to continue walking this path alone, or to choose to fuse with other professions to have an extra guarantee?
