Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 226 Exchange and Discussion
“Huh? ∑(△｀)?!”

Huo Yuhao looked confused. "Sparring? Me?"
Although there is indeed such an invitation in the original story, it is based on the martial soul of Ultimate Ice.

Now he hasn't even gotten his fourth soul ring and his cultivation is still stuck at level 40. What's more, all he has exposed now is a spiritual eye with few output soul skills, and now his Ice Wall Emperor Scorpion spirit has run away from home, so he can't use it even if he wants to.

What was Jing Hongchen thinking when he let himself fight with those five rings?
Although Huo Yuhao used all his mental power and soul power to launch a soul shock, which could kill most Soul Kings in seconds, what was the use?

“Student Huo Yuhao, you see, the soul masters of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are the strongest soul masters on the continent. Having a friendly match like this will also help you, Huo Yuhao, gain more practical experience, right?”

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was not interested, Lin Jiayi quickly began to persuade him.

Huo Yuhao was confused and said, “But my fighting style is stealth and sneak attacks. How much can I improve my combat ability by fighting with a level 5 soul master? Why should I get involved in something that has no benefit?”

"This……"

Lin Jiayi was a little hesitant. According to the information they had obtained, Huo Yuhao's fighting style was indeed like this. Relying on his treacherous fighting style, even the four level five soul masters under Xuan Ziwen's tutelage could not hurt Huo Yuhao in a group fight.

As for giving up soul power and just relying on fighting skills in this exchange? Huo Yuhao's physical fitness is abnormal. If he gave up soul power and just improved the students' fighting ability, judging from the fighting between Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen, they would probably be beaten by Huo Yuhao.

Moreover, if the students give up their soul guides to fight Huo Yuhao, even if they lose, they will be led to the point where they cannot use their soul guides, and this will not serve as a warning to the students. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
Looking at Huo Yuhao's expression, it seemed that he was not unwilling, but he just didn't offer an attractive price.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have taken on this matter, but would have brought it to the hall master and let him negotiate with him.

"Student Huo, you are joking. Since you have wasted your study time to have friendly exchanges with students, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will naturally make corresponding compensation. How do you think about this? As long as you agree, student Huo, I will double your weekly quota of rare metals."

"Teacher Lin, you seem to have made a mistake."

Huo Yuhao seemed to understand something and shook his head, saying, “Teacher, your purpose should be to use me to hone the combat capabilities of the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, especially their ability to deal with soul masters. However, my own combat style is to use soul master abilities to assist soul guides to fight, which is very different from a traditional soul master.”

"It's okay, it's okay," Lin Jiayi waved his hand and said, "As long as you are a soul master from Shrek, you can use any martial soul, soul guide or other means you want."

“Oh.” Huo Yuhao nodded and suddenly said, “How about this, Teacher Lin? For every game I win, you will give me an extra kilogram of rare metals. I can specify the specific types. How about that?”

"This……"

Lin Jiayi was a little hesitant. This kind of promise of rare metals specified by Huo Yuhao was not something he could decide. After all, if Huo Yuhao specified the rarest and most precious ones, he would not be able to give them out.

On the other hand, the weekly quotas are all regular rare metals, and Mingdetang’s consumption is not small, so it doesn’t matter if Huo Yuhao is given one or two more.

"This matter is of great importance. Shall we go to the hall master and discuss it slowly?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “Alright.”

……

"You mean you can get a kilogram of rare metal as a reward for every game you win?"

Jing Hongchen frowned and glanced at Lin Jiayi. He couldn't even handle such a small matter, and he had to ask the hall master to do it himself.

Lin Jiayi gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. If it was just one kilogram of metal like titanium, he could barely make a decision, but the choices were too big and he didn't dare to make a decision casually.

"Master Hongchen, there will be corresponding rewards for every victory. I can also work harder to win more games, which will help me achieve your goal, right?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, “If you don’t agree, I will only be able to fight for one or two games and then slip away, which is written all over my face.”

"Okay, I promise you."

Jing Hongchen waved his hands impatiently. He had been so busy these days dealing with the attack that his head was almost bald. In order to protect himself, he even had to contact the prince. How could he have the time to appease the students and teachers in the academy?

It would be great to have Huo Yuhao to help attract attention.

As if remembering something, Jing Hongchen suddenly said:

"But at the same time, if you win more than ten... no, twenty games in a row, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has the right to send a sixth-level soul instructor to fight against you."

I almost forgot that Huo Yuhao's physical fitness is already comparable to that of a Soul Saint, plus he has the soul bone skills hidden in his body, so he won't be cheated of too many rare metals.

"This……"

Huo Yuhao was also confused by Jing Hongchen's caution for a moment.

What's going on here? It's fine if I, a Soul Master, fight against a Soul King. After all, I have a history of fighting. But what does it mean to go straight to a Soul Emperor...

"Alright."

"As if he remembered something, Huo Yuhao tried to probe: "But Hall Master, forget about the sixth-level soul guide, but you can't use the seventh-level or higher soul guides, otherwise I really have no chance of winning."

Jing Hongchen laughed angrily: "Get lost... Is this hall master such a shameless person?"

"With your words, I feel relieved."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao quickly slipped away.

After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao immediately took out the Thousand Forged Metal that he had successfully forged and examined it carefully.

"This Jing Hongchen wants to collect information about himself for his grandchildren."

"If you just want to find someone to attract attention, it would be most appropriate to let He Caitou play. Because He Caitou is a soul guide from Shrek, with a soul guide that is slightly inferior to that of the Sun-Moon Empire, but he crushed this group of soul guides from the Sun-Moon Empire. This can make people more sober."

Gently putting down the Thousand Forged Metal, Huo Yuhao took out a milk bottle and began to store energy. Although the sealed milk bottle had not yet been made, it was not as difficult as imagined to make a milk bottle that could store milk for a few days. "In that case, there was only one reason why Jing Hongchen chose me. He wanted to test my strengths and weaknesses, find out my fighting style, and then design a soul guide to target me, so as to provide enough intelligence for his grandchildren, so that they would not be unprepared when facing me in the future."

Huo Yuhao suddenly chuckled, “Let’s not talk about the fact that I only have three rings. When I compete, I will have to start with at least five rings. How big is the gap? Not to mention that with all my current skills, if I fight hard, even a Soul Sage won’t be able to get the upper hand from me. It would be better to get some rarer materials for myself now to prepare for the future. After all, battle armor seems to be quite expensive.”

After filling the bottle and almost using up all his soul power, Huo Yuhao took out a few pieces of metal and prepared to make a few more Thousand Forgings.

Here comes the problem...

Huo Yuhao looked at the several pieces of different kinds of metal in his hand and was silent for a moment.

Up to now, he only knows how to forge the thousandth metal of Shenyin. Does he have to try other metals again and again like before until he finds the feeling of forging the thousandth metal?

To feel the vitality of metal...

I didn't feel any vitality even when I activated the spirit sharing. I just arranged the lines inside the sunken silver to the most perfect state...

The price for skipping classes came. Although Huo Yuhao had a certain foundation, it was definitely not solid, not to mention that he later used a laboratory table to assist in forging. He could never compare to those blacksmiths who were immersed in this field.

Perhaps this is the reason why I cannot go from one to many, understand everything at once?

Although he had the experience of sinking silver, and the ideas for forging other metals were similar, but in the absence of being able to feel the so-called vitality of the metal, Huo Yuhao could only arrange the patterns inside the rare metals over and over again until he succeeded...

If I continue to follow this method, I'm afraid I can only last until the spirit forging. When it comes to soul forging, even if I use one rare metal, the emotions of each piece of rare metal are not exactly the same. If I repeat this every time, I'm afraid it will take more than a day or two to forge a piece of suitable soul forging metal...

Not to mention that there are also fusion forging and divine forging later...

It seems that I need to devote more energy to forging in the future. Otherwise, it would be a pity that the only means to upgrade to the god level would be blocked by myself.

After all, when a soul guide reaches the fourth level of the God-killing Soul Guide, it is basically at the level of the main gun of the federal battleship, which is not something that can be used by an individual. Only battle armor and mecha can allow one to reach the threshold of the god level before reaching the god level.

Forget it, I don’t want to think too much about it. I’ll set a small goal first, to complete the Thousand Forgings without activating Spirit Sharing before returning to Shrek.

Now... let's work hard towards the First Level of Thousand Forgings. After all, it's just qualified now, not perfect. Only when you reach the perfect state of the First Level of Thousand Forgings can you reach the next level of Spirit Forging.

As for how to do it?

Huo Yuhao waved the forging hammer, indicating that it would be better if he tried this thing a few more times.
While Huo Yuhao was busy sprinting towards the first level of Thousand Forgings, Lin Jiayi was also not idle and had already begun preparing for this friendly exchange.

The news that the exchange students who had represented Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition would compete with soul masters of the same level from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy quickly spread to every corner of the academy, and the latest notices were posted on every teaching building and dormitory door.

This exchange and competition will be held at the Soul Guidance Trial Field of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. The academy requires that all students who do not have special circumstances must be present to watch the competition.

Colleges with a cultivation level of four rings or above can register to participate in the competition, and the highest registered cultivation level is a sixth-level soul instructor or a six-ring soul emperor. All participating colleges are required to purchase their own tickets to watch the game.

If a contestant can defeat the exchange student from Shrek Academy, he/she will be qualified to enter Mingde Hall and will be rewarded with 100,000 gold soul coins and a soul guide customized for him/her by the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen. If he/she loses the game, his/her supply of soul guide production materials will be confiscated for one month.

You should know that except for the exchange students of Shrek who enjoy the material quota for free, other students have to pay for their quota, which is a disguised fine. Besides, Mingde Hall is using their share to subsidize Huo Yuhao's share.

Whether to say it or not, Mingdetang will make the calculation.

Not only that, the incident caused such a big stir and attracted so many students to discuss it that other Shrek students who gradually returned also heard about it.

Although Fan Yu and Cai Tou were worried, after seeing the "Do Not Disturb" sign at the door of Huo Yuhao's dormitory, they did not interfere too much because Huo Yuhao had always shown his independence.

On the contrary, Ye Xiaosheng, a passerby in the original novel, waited outside for a long time. He seemed to be interested in this limelight event. But after Huo Yuhao noticed him through mental detection, he was too lazy to go out for dinner and just made do with dry food.

Unlike Huo Gua, Huo Yuhao, who has experience in the workplace, prefers to reduce useless social interactions. Although this is a bit more utilitarian, it also makes Huo Yuhao's daily life a lot easier.

People like Ye Xiaosheng love to show off, and Huo Yuhao is too lazy to deal with them, so avoiding them is the best choice.

Two days later, Huo Yuhao woke up early and had a hearty meal in the college cafeteria before leisurely heading to the venue prepared by the college.

Fan Yu looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Are you ready?"

Huo Yuhao said confidently: “As long as the Soul Emperor doesn’t show up, we won’t lose.”

Fan Yu laughed and scolded, "Don't be careless. Let me tell you, based on the current bets, if you lose within ten games, we simply can't afford to pay. We need to mobilize a large amount of funds directly from the academy."

Although Fan Yu and others have no shortage of rare metal supplies, the same may not be true for other people in the Soul Guidance Department. Taking advantage of this competition, Fan Yu, Ye Xiaosheng and others also opened a gambling game, hoping to get more resources from here to give back to Shrek.

Although it was early in the morning, the entire Soul Guidance Trial Field was already full. The total number of teachers and students in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was nearly 12,000, including Mingde Hall.

Not only did the students want to see the difference between the battles between soul masters and soul instructors, but the teachers were also curious. For this competition, the academy officially suspended classes for three days.

Jing Hongchen did not attend as he had many important things to deal with. Lin Jiayi was responsible for hosting the competition.

In Jing Hongchen's opinion, this competition, no matter how long Huo Yuhao persists, will be beneficial to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. It will enhance the cohesion of the academy and help students recognize the differences between soul masters and soul instructors. It will be a wonderful lesson for the students.

"Okay, everyone be quiet." Lin Jiayi's majestic voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeaker soul guide. The students who were originally talking in high spirits quieted down and turned their eyes to the rostrum in the north.

Lin Jiayi said: "Adhering to the purpose of making friends through martial arts and enhancing communication and learning, the academy has decided to hold this exchange. Shrek Academy will send Huo Yuhao, one of their exchange students who participated in the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, to compete with everyone."

"Whether or not they are participating in the competition, I hope that all students in our academy can better observe and feel the difference between soul masters and soul mentors in the competition. Enhance their understanding. This exchange competition of making friends through martial arts will be judged by Mingde Hall researcher and academy special teacher Xuan Ziwen, and I will be the host. Next, please welcome student Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy to enter."
