Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 15: Ruthlessly Torture Me with Resources and Gold Coins

Reaching the level one Soul Master in a month and breaking the Sun Moon Empire's level two Soul Master record in an even shorter time are two completely different things.

If Huo Yuhao can continue to break the record for becoming a Level 2 Soul Master in the shortest amount of time, then it will be even more legitimate, won't it?

"By the way, keep the news of Huo Yuhao becoming a Level 1 Soul Master a secret, don't let those old guys notice."

"Yuhao can only be my disciple, Jing Hongchen, in the future."

What else could Lin Jiayi say? He naturally doted on this arrogant dean.

"Understood, Dean." But then he suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "However, Dean, when Yuhao was taking his exam today, Shixuan was also there."

"He's a good friend of Xuan Ziwen's; there's no guarantee he won't tell that guy. Should we..."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand, not paying any attention.

"No need. If you know, you know. Xuan Ziwen is always engrossed in his research and wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing."

"As long as Yuhao remains out of sight of those old guys in the Hall of Worship for the time being, that's fine."

Such a genius can only belong to Jing Hongchen. If the tenth-level old man in the Hall of Worship knew about Yuhao's talent, he would inevitably try to snatch him away, and then Jing Hongchen would be in trouble.

The next day.

When Shi Xuan arrived at Huo Yuhao's side with the academy's generous rewards and the guaranteed unlimited supply of first-level metals, as instructed by Lin Jiayi, Huo Yuhao's expression was complicated.

Does this mean that the basic metals are in unlimited supply?

It seems that the lathe-made soul tool I made, which allowed me to pass the Level 1 Soul Master assessment in just one month, truly amazed those people above.

As for Shi Xuan conveying Lin Jiayi's message, asking if Mingdetang could be granted the authority to conduct further research on the lathe soul tool, he naturally agreed without much hesitation.

Before he figured out how to shape metal with soul power, the metal forging task he needed in the early stages naturally fell to the academy. The more complete the lathe's functions, the better. He just didn't know how many gold soul coins he would be rewarded with, or perhaps some blueprints for engraving the core array of a level two soul tool.

His soul power has now reached level sixteen, just one step away from breaking through to level seventeen. It seems it's time for him to start learning about level two soul tools.

With free Soul Guidance Cards for ordinary ingredients from the cafeteria, as well as a basic share of metal, Huo Yuhao has used less than half of the 10,000 gold Soul Coins that Lin Jiayi invested before becoming a Level 1 Soul Master.

Now that he has become a Level 1 Soul Master and received a large amount of rare metals as a reward, in addition to the right to use an unlimited supply of basic metals, Huo Yuhao felt that the path to becoming a Level 2 Soul Master had been paved, and he no longer needed to worry about resources.

However, apart from Lin Jiayi, the person he wanted to meet still hadn't appeared. Huo Yuhao had some guesses about this. Did they want to see his limits? If so, then let's keep grinding.

The shock it brought to the sun and moon was still ongoing. Huo Gua took eight months to become a second-level soul master, so he set a goal: three months. Three months, including the month he spent becoming a first-level soul master. He would see if those guys above could still remain calm and collected by then.

With the list given to him by Lin Jiayi, Huo Yuhao continued to linger between the classroom, library, experimental area, and dormitory every day.

In the classroom, students learn about the history, customs, and basic knowledge of soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire; in the library, they study the theoretical knowledge of level two soul tools; in the experimental area, they inscribe the core array of level two soul tools; and in the dormitory, they cultivate their soul power and begin practicing the basic meditation taught by the academy.

Many students in Class 3 of the first year were curious about Huo Yuhao, this classmate who appeared and disappeared so mysteriously.

Especially the female students, whose desks were filled with love letters every day, and even many of the older female students came to see him. But Huo Yuhao didn't care at all, throwing all the letters aside, which made many boys jealous.

Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Library.

After some searching, Huo Yuhao began his studies with several books, including "A Selection of Essential Introductions to Level Two Core Magic Arrays," "Refining and Properties of Level Two Soul Guidance Metals," and "Specialized Courses for Spiritual Soul Masters."

"Xiao Hongchen's research notes on metallic resonance?"

Just as he sat down, Huo Yuhao suddenly noticed a strange notebook on his usual study spot. Looking at the highly suggestive name on it, he speechlessly put it aside.

Metal resonance?

Sorry, he's not interested in that kind of thing right now, and he can't do it either.

Instead of looking at this stuff, it's better to study the difference in the black market purchase price of soul tools between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy. In other words, he doesn't lack gold soul coins right now. Otherwise, according to the black market's rule of 'ten units of metal for two level-one core magic arrays,' he could really make himself a millionaire very quickly.

Not far away, a white-haired boy clenched his fists tightly, looking at Huo Yuhao with fighting spirit and anticipation.

And so, two months passed by in a fulfilling way.

Huo Yuhao's first-level soul-guided lathe greatly inspired the researchers at Mingde Hall. Before long, a more advanced and complete lathe soul-guided device was created, which greatly improved the efficiency of metal processing.

Even the water forging equipment area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been replaced with a more advanced soul guidance lathe, which has benefited countless soul masters and students. It can be said that in a while, the metal processing speed of the entire Sun Moon Empire will be increased by several levels.

This is why Lin Jiayi was so excited at the time, and why Jing Hongchen called a small level-one soul tool a revolutionary device.

Of course, we are far from reaching the level of CNC machining, and we cannot achieve mass production on an assembly line. It is a long and arduous road ahead.

The soul tool is not important, nor is the core magic array. What is important is that Huo Yuhao has pioneered a brand-new path in metal processing by abandoning the past.

However, Jing Hongchen deliberately concealed the name of Huo Yuhao, the pioneer and creator of the lathe. The reason is obvious to those who know: before Huo Yuhao became a second-level soul master, he was unwilling to expose such a peerless genius to others.

However, he still gave Huo Yuhao a Xuan Shui Pill, a Soul Ascension Pill, and three million gold soul coins as a reward in his personal capacity. This generous reward left Huo Yuhao dizzy and overwhelmed.

What's the point of fame? Come on, use resources and gold coins to ruthlessly crush me, I can take it.

The same location, the Soul Guidance Device Experiment Area of ​​the Teaching Department.

After two months of study, our classmate Huo Yuhao is about to begin his Level 2 Soul Master assessment.

This time, it wasn't just Lin Jiayi and Shi Xuan who came; two other unexpected figures also appeared.

The observation area is separated from the test area by glass.

"Xuan Ziwen, why aren't you in the research department working on your soul tool project? What are you doing here in the academy's teaching department?"
