Wang Yan's face stiffened, and after a moment of silence, he finally told the truth:
"Elder Xuan believes that Huo Yuhao is not worth cultivating as a core disciple. When I mentioned Huo Yuhao's talent and abilities to Elder Xuan, Elder Xuan was not interested in Huo Yuhao's talent and abilities and did not ask in detail. He only said that if Huo Yuhao's talent and abilities were good, he could be included in the list of special talents."
Seeing that Yan Shaozhe still hadn't expressed his opinion, Du Weilun knew that he had to make the decision himself.
"Since Elder Xuan has said so, then Huo Yuhao will not be included in the core disciples of the Martial Soul Department. As a member of the championship team, although Huo Yuhao is lacking in talent and potential, he should at least receive the treatment of a core disciple for a year to observe his potential."
"However, because the Soul Guidance Department accepted Huo Yuhao as a core disciple, Huo Yuhao's core disciple status was revoked, and he instead received special talent training resources to cultivate his abilities in a targeted manner."
Wang Yan was stunned.
What is a special talent development program? In name, it is a program that provides specialized training for students with special abilities.
For example, a student named Mo Xuan in the inner academy, although his soul skill amplification is not significant, has a wider amplification range due to the higher his cultivation level, which is enough to cover several kilometers. Therefore, the academy provides resources to assist him in cultivating his soul power, so that he can reach level 90 as soon as possible.
Although his cultivation speed seems to be the same as that of the core disciples, his configuration in all other aspects is inferior to that of the core disciples, not to mention the rare resource of soul bones. The academy has no intention of cultivating him to a higher level.
For example, the student whose martial soul was a chicken leg was also intended to be provided with cultivation resources and a designated soul ring to be trained as a late-stage soldier, with no intention of training him in the direction of support abilities.
What's the use of Huo Yuhao being on the special talent training list? His talent and abilities are already there, so what special training does he need? He doesn't need any assistance to improve his cultivation or any specific soul skills.
Is this special talent award more of a symbolic representation of the team's championship status?
Unlike Wang Yan's complicated thoughts, Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Huo Yuhao's matter was settled.
"Alright, let's leave the discussion about the new students here. Next, we'll discuss the promotion of the new training equipment..."

When this topic comes up, Qian Duoduo gets all excited, his laziness vanishes, and he reveals his true colors as a penny-pincher.
This time, we must manage to take a bite out of the Martial Soul system!
……
The next day, a group of freshmen gathered at Shrek Square early in the morning, waiting for the upcoming class assignments.
Looking at the bustling crowd, a group of students who had passed the freshman assessment were enthusiastically discussing the upcoming class assignments. Looking at these young faces, Huo Yuhao's mood improved.
"I wonder if I'll be able to get the status of a core disciple in the Martial Soul system..."
Huo Yuhao was quite looking forward to becoming a core disciple of the Martial Soul system. He had obtained what Huo Gua had failed to do, which meant that he, as a transmigrator, was at least better than Huo Gua during this period.
This is no easy task. Someone who can't even lose weight can suddenly become more hardworking than Huo Gua after just one transmigration? That's impossible.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao turned his head slightly to look at the group of freshmen class five, and then turned back around.
In the freshman class of Class 5, Dai Huabin's expression flashed with a fierce light. As soon as he saw Huo Yuhao, he remembered what had happened during the freshman assessment.
They could have won simply by unleashing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but it was ruined by a mere one-ring cultivator. Who knows how much of an impact this defeat will have when it gets back to the family?
Thinking of this, Dai Huabin clenched his fists tightly, making a series of cracking sounds.
Freshman orientation meetings, as anyone who's been through them knows, are mostly filled with incredibly boring content, and it would be the same even if you were transported to another world. And the awards ceremony is usually placed at the very end of the meeting.
"Now, please give a warm round of applause to welcome our final champions of the freshman assessment. They are Wang Dong's team, and the team members are Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up and followed the group onto the stage.
Wang Dong's team... as expected, still failed to acquire a core disciple.
Huo Yuhao yawned slightly, suddenly losing interest.
It doesn't matter, they're just some resources, nothing to worry about.
"Now I announce the rewards for the top three teams in the freshman assessment. The top three teams will all receive a unified reward from the academy, and each member can request a spirit ring from the academy when they need one. The academy will then assist them in obtaining a spirit ring that is within their means and is most suitable for them."
Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao felt somewhat speechless. Was the academy's opinion or his own opinion that the most suitable spirit ring for him was the one that suited him best?
Huo Yuhao didn't recall Xiao Xiao obtaining any suitable spirit rings from Shrek Academy. Her spirit's special energy was so strong; a second-ring spirit ring could control a third-ring spirit ring for a full fifteen seconds.
This special energy, which combines the effects of sealing, adhering, eroding, and evaporating soul power, is being used to increase hardness and ram people instead of being properly developed.
Even though Xiao Xiao's family had already given her a second soul skill that showed signs of developing special energy, Shrek Academy actually gave her a dark gold dinosaur claw bear soul ring for her third ring.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is indeed strong, and its defense boost is indeed compatible with a normal cauldron, but its attributes are not compatible with the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron at all.
Huo Yuhao didn't know much about the special energy of Xiao Xiao's martial soul. After all, even the protagonist had a bunch of soul skills, let alone a supporting character.
However, its special energy is the key to Xiao Xiao's multiple power surges, and it is obviously worth the effort to develop it, but Elder Xuan did it this way.
Huo Yuhao refused to believe that among so many types of soul beasts, there wasn't one whose attributes were more compatible and whose defense could be increased.
Elder Xuan probably wanted to be lazy and didn't want to spend too much time in the Soul Beast Forest. Fortunately, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was strong enough, so no one dared to say anything if he gave it to Xiao Xiao.
"In view of the outstanding freshmen who have emerged in this year's freshman competition, the college has specially approved a group of students to become core disciples of the School of Foreign Languages. I will now announce the list."
"Based on the freshmen's performance in the assessment, the core disciples who have been approved by the academy are: Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng."
As expected, there wasn't one.
Huo Yuhao, who had already prepared himself mentally, remained completely unmoved.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, on the other hand, were somewhat surprised and wondered if a name had been omitted.
"Given that some freshmen, despite lacking talent and ability, were assessed during the freshman assessment... the academy has decided to temporarily grant them the benefits of core disciples... They are Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, and Nanmen Yun'er. That concludes the announcement."
What happened?
This time, Huo Yuhao could no longer maintain his calm and collected expression; instead, he frowned, seemingly puzzled.
Where exactly did this butterfly effect originate, that even my core disciple benefits were wiped out?
