Huo Yuhao's expression grew solemn and gloomy. His eyes narrowed into slits, and a cold light flickered through them.

　　I just want to learn here, yet you guys just had to force my hand. Huo Yuhao knew that the best thing for him to do would be to find Xuan Ziwen and let his teacher resolve his predicament. However, he knew that doing so would mean lowering his head to the four of them; a moment of timidity and cowardice like that would probably lead to even more bullying in the future. How could he focus on studying if that happened?

　　He heaved a sigh and mumbled exasperatedly under his breath, "You guys forced me." He raised his right hand once he'd finished speaking and pressed it to the lab door. A pale golden radiance flickered in his eyes and one white, one purple, and one black soul ring—quite the peculiar combination—gradually rose from his body. This was the true color of his Spirit Eyes' soul rings, but whether or not others would believe what this was a different story. After all, not many people believed that the colors of one's soul rings could be changed at will.

　　Xuan Ziwen had asked Huo Yuhao if he could use his Spiritual Detection to probe into metallic objects, to which Huo Yuhao had answered that he could, but only to a certain extent. This was a huge breakthrough he'd achieved in his two years of cultivating Spiritual Detection, and he'd come up with a name for it: Focus.

　　He could focus his energy on a single point to increases its penetrative power and a.n.a.lytical abilities to a truly formidable level. Huo Yuhao's target of choice was naturally the lab's access control soul tool.
