Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 33: The fisherman profits?

In addition to Gu Yuena, there were two other people watching Huo Yuhao's operations.

Li Yucheng, President of the Mecha Engineer Association, and Xia Haoxuan, Vice President.

After experiencing several attacks of Huo Yuhao's talent, Li Yucheng said that he could now watch this scene calmly, but the people around him obviously couldn't.

Xia Haoxuan watched Huo Yuhao lightly tap on the rare metal. His fingers moved nimbly and instantly completed a three-arc cut with such precision that it seemed as if it had been measured with a ruler. He was amazed and his love for Huo Yuhao's talent was aroused.

Such precise movements and such a state of unity of body and mind were something that many of the eighth-level manufacturers he had seen could not achieve. Only manufacturers who were accustomed to manufacturing ninth-level soul guides could enter that realm at will.

A genius, a true genius!

Such a disciple is definitely the dream of all manufacturers who want to inherit the mantle.

After observing Huo Yuhao's smooth and flowing movements, which seemed to have been refined through thousands of hammers, Xia Haoxuan couldn't help but say:
"President, you are old and lack energy. How about letting me teach Huo Yuhao?"

"Although I am not as good as you, I have more time and energy than you, so I have more time to teach him."

"Go away, you wish!" Li Yucheng waved his hand impatiently, "You still want to snatch people away? Teach your own apprentice well."

Xia Haoxuan complained, "President, you can't be so selfish. I was the one who first discovered him. You have to deal with the affairs of the association every day, so how can you have time to teach the disciples? We should switch places. You continue to handle the affairs, and I will do it!"

"He's from the Spirit Pagoda, and I'm planning to introduce him to headquarters. Don't overthink it." Li Yucheng shut Xia Haoxuan up. "Anything else you want to say?"

"...You are so cruel." Xia Haoxuan looked at Huo Yuhao with regret, turned around and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Li Yucheng refocused his attention on Huo Yuhao. After Huo Yuhao finished carving the soul guide array on the metal, he walked over with a smile on his face and checked his work.

"Yes, you have completely mastered the energy conversion soul formation I taught you before, but here, and here, you can improve it to make the connection between the soul formation more perfect."

Li Yucheng pointed to two spots on the rare metal and said to Huo Yuhao with a smile, "Of course, these are just minor issues..."

Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao, who was humbly seeking advice and listening quietly, and inexplicably felt that she shouldn't be here.

Designers and manufacturers have a lot of overlapping knowledge points, but what they are saying now... she doesn't understand.

……

A young man in his teens was looking for someone in the association hall. When he saw Xia Haoxuan coming out of a room, his eyes lit up. He quickly walked up to him and asked:
"Teacher, I'm going to take the third-level manufacturing master exam. Do you have time to be my examiner?"

Xia Haoxuan looked up at him, his interest low. "Level three? How old are you to be level three? Look at other people's..."

The young man looked at Xia Haoxuan blankly, not understanding what he had done wrong and being scolded by his teacher.

Thinking back to the past, he was also someone else's child...

After Xia Haoxuan outputted for a while, he still felt that he had lost out.

He was the first one to discover Huo Yuhao, and he was the examiner when the other party came to take the exam for the second-level manufacturing master.

However, Huo Yuhao had assumed that the other party, who came from the Spirit Pagoda, would not join the Mecha Engineer Association. So, as was customary, he reported the other party's information to the president. He had no idea this would be the outcome.

If I had accepted it directly then...

"No, the more I think about it, the more I feel at a loss. Why would the president pick up a peerless genius for free without doing anything but going to the Spirit Pagoda?" After thinking it over, Xia Haoxuan decided to save the situation in a roundabout way and took out the soul guide communicator.

"From what I know about you, you're still hoping to show off Huo Yuhao to headquarters later, right? You probably haven't reported Huo Yuhao's existence to headquarters yet... In that case, I won't be polite."

When the person on the other end answered the phone, Xia Haoxuan smiled instantly. "Hello, is this teacher? I found someone in the East China Sea..."

……

Li Yucheng was instructing Huo Yuhao in carving a soul guide array when he suddenly heard the soul guide communicator ringing. He took it out, took a look at it, apologized to Huo Yuhao, and turned to leave the room.

When he came back after finishing the call and saw the situation in the room, his face instantly turned dark.

No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home. He was ultimately careless.

You, Xia Haoxuan, you want to be tricked, right? Just wait!

"Yuhao, you are the most talented soul guide I have ever met. My teacher is a ninth-level manufacturer at the Mecha Master Association headquarters. He heard about you and is very interested in you. How about becoming my junior apprentice?

And my female classmate here, you have become a third-level designer at such a young age, and your future is also promising. I can introduce you to a suitable teacher."

Xia Haoxuan said with a smile.

How can it be better to win over two geniuses than to win over just one person?

As for the two of them coming from the Spirit Pagoda?
It doesn’t matter, their Mecha Engineer Association still has people from the Body Sect!
"President Xia, you're too kind. Without the guidance of my predecessors, I wouldn't be able to reach my current level."

"Alas, being too modest doesn't make you seem sincere. How long has the president been teaching you? He's old and doesn't have the time to teach you. It's not easy to spare some time every day. How about this? You learn from me first, and then I'll take you to the headquarters to meet my teacher in the future."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Li Yucheng, who was emitting black energy behind Xia Haoxuan, and his eyebrows twitched.

This is not a question of modesty. If you continue to speak, I am afraid that after tonight, there will be another floating corpse in the East China Sea.

Xia Haoxuan actually sensed the presence of someone, but he was a man who "did not fear power." He directly took out a storage ring and handed it to Huo Yuhao. "There are some rare metals in it. This is a gift I prepared for you."

Li Yucheng took a deep breath and felt that he could not watch any longer. After thinking about it, he took out a pass and a small soul guide from his storage ring and handed them to Huo Yuhao.

"With this pass, you can access most rooms in the association, including the storage room on the third floor where design drawings and ideas are stored."

He had prepared this pass a long time ago. Huo Yuhao had very good self-study and self-discipline abilities, and he didn't have much time himself, so it would be better to give the other party some leeway and let him learn on his own.

Thinking of this, Li Yucheng and Xia Haoxuan looked at each other, then looked away tacitly.

Although they had not communicated, they all understood that Huo Yuhao was from the Spirit Pagoda. If they wanted him to have a sense of belonging to the Mecha Engineer Association, they had to try their best to win him over while he was still young.

"But that's no excuse for calling your teacher behind my back! You better put on your shoes, Xia Haoxuan!" Li Yucheng thought expressionlessly.

Huo Yuhao looked at the thing in front of him with a strange expression.

Is this considered as... while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?
