Chapter 43 Bai Yuhao chooses to become a designer, and Black Shrek is filled with regret!
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the air seemed to have solidified into lead, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Moon leaned back in his recliner, his eyes, which usually shone with wisdom, now appearing unusually cloudy and dim.
Looking at Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, who were both ashamed and helpless, this Limit Douluo, who had lived for hundreds of years, felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time.
"Never mind..."
After a long silence, Moon sighed, his voice sounding as if he had aged ten years in an instant: "This is not your fault."
"It was Shrek... that was wrong."
Saying those words seemed to drain all his strength.
As the pillar of Shrek Academy, Moon knew better than anyone the deep-seated problems within the academy.
For thousands of years, Shrek Academy has adhered to the principle of "Martial Soul supremacy".
Although a Soul Guidance Department has been established, in the eyes of most elders and students, Soul Guidance Devices are ultimately just "strange skills and tricks," tools used to assist Martial Souls, or even unorthodox methods that only Soul Masters with insufficient talent would study.
This deep-seated arrogance led to a serious gap in Shrek Academy's talent cultivation for soul tool systems.
And now, karma has come back to bite them.
When the true miracle—the Battle Armor—was placed before them, they couldn't even understand it due to their lack of basic theoretical knowledge.
It's like throwing a peerless martial arts manual at an illiterate person; all they can do is stare blankly at it.
"He reaped what he sowed... He truly reaped what he sowed..."
Moon tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, his heart filled with an indescribable anxiety.
He is worried not only about the present, but also about the future.
Just because Shrek doesn't understand it doesn't mean others don't.
The Sun Moon Empire, which has always coveted the original Douluo Continent, already had advanced soul guidance technology. Now, with the "teaching" of the Sky Curtain, to what extent will they evolve?
If, five years from now, every soldier in the Sun Moon Empire's army is equipped with a set of one-word battle armor, and even two-word battle armor legions have emerged...
At that time, what competitive advantage did Shrek Academy have over Sun Moon Royal Academy?
"Is the glory of Shrek Academy, which has lasted for ten thousand years, really going to be ruined in our generation?" Moon closed his eyes, his heart turning cold.
Just as this pessimistic mood permeated the entire Sea God Pavilion, the scene on the sky did not stop because of the gloomy atmosphere of the dark world.
[In the scene, Zhou Yi stands on the podium, her gaze sweeping over each student.]
"I have now finished explaining the basic concepts of the four major professions."
"The creation of battle armor is no trivial matter, and choosing a minor profession is an even more important decision concerning your future. I don't want you to make the wrong choice due to a momentary impulse."
Zhou Yi held up three fingers: "I'm giving you three days. After three days, I want to see your decisions. Each person must carefully choose a direction based on their martial spirit characteristics, mental strength, and personal interests."
"get out of class dismissed!"
[At Zhou Yi's command, the scene began to accelerate.]
As the sun rises and sets, the scenery on campus changes rapidly amidst the interplay of light and shadow. Three days pass in the blink of an eye under the celestial canopy.
When the scene freezes again, it's in the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1.
All the students sat neatly in their seats. Zhou Yi, holding a form, began to tally their results one by one.
"Chen Feng."
"Here!" Chen Feng stood up, looking confident. "Reporting to Teacher Zhou, I choose 'Manufacturer'! My martial spirit control is very strong; I'm confident I can wield the most precise carving tools!"
"Hmm, not bad." Zhou Yi nodded, made a note of it, and then looked at the boy sitting by the window, "Huo Yuhao."
At this moment, everyone in the underworld focused their attention.
As the protagonist of the Sky Curtain, Huo Yuhao's choice is of paramount importance!
Huo Yuhao slowly stood up, his eyes clear and firm, without the slightest hesitation.
"Reporting to Teacher Zhou!"
The boy's voice echoed in the classroom:
"I choose—a designer!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the underworld.
Especially the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Inside Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen suddenly slapped her thigh and jumped up from her chair. Her usually stern, chubby face was now beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Heaven is helping me! It's truly heaven's help!"
Kong Deming, standing to the side, was also so excited that his beard trembled, and the fanatical light in his eyes was a hundred times stronger than when he had seen the blueprints before.
"A designer...he actually chose a designer!"
Kong Deming took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "You should know very well what this means, right?"
"Of course I know!"
Jing Hongchen paced excitedly back and forth in the laboratory: "The visuals on the screen unfold from Huo Yuhao's perspective. Now that he's chosen to be a designer, what will we see in the next lesson?"
"We will see a massive amount of design drawings!"
"We will see the construction logic of the core magic array!"
"We will see the complete design concept from one-word battle armor to three-word battle armor, and even higher-level battle armor!"
If they choose to become blacksmiths, they will at most learn how to forge iron;
If you choose the builder option, you'll learn how to assemble things.
But designers are different!
The designer is the soul of the battle armor; they are the ones who control the "source code"!
"As long as we have the blueprints and design concepts, with the manufacturing technology of Mingdetang, we can make the product even if we just copy it exactly!" Kong Deming clenched his fist.
"Bai Huoyuhao's choice is practically feeding us food!"
"Even…" A glint of greed flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes, "If we can understand the design principles of two-word and three-word battle armor through his perspective, then our Sun Moon Empire will completely leave the original Douluo Continent behind for ten thousand years!"
At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Sun and Moon Empire were filled with boundless anticipation for the future.
However, human joys and sorrows are not shared.
Compared to the celebrations of the Sun Moon Empire, Moon's expression was even more unpleasant at Shrek Academy.
"A designer..."
Moon shook his head bitterly.
He also understood what this choice meant.
This means that the sky screen will reveal the most crucial secrets.
But...
"You can see it, but you can't eat it."
Mu En glanced at Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, who still looked bewildered, and his despair deepened.
The Sun and Moon Empire is a modern industrial society; you can understand it with a little research.
Meanwhile, Shrek... was still trying to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.
"It's clearly an incredible opportunity, a chance to change my destiny..."
"But we Shrek Academy students could only watch it slip away..."
"Is this the punishment for Shrek's complacency and stagnation?"
A feeling of "powerlessness" spread throughout Moon and all the Shrek executives.
For the first time, they deeply regretted not prioritizing the development of soul tools.
