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

Chapter 17: Let's crash this place, my place!

"I want to see too."

There was nothing he could do; he was also curious about what this thing was. Yuhao had told him it was called a drone, an airplane? Could it be a soul tool like those airships outside, but with a completely different appearance?

Soon, as the two explored further, they had completely figured out Huo Yuhao's level-two soul tool.

They are both experts who have been immersed in this field for many years, one at level eight and the other at level nine. How could they not see the real selling point of this item?

The expressions on their faces were quite interesting, sometimes excited, sometimes silent, and sometimes hesitant to speak, which surprised Lin Jiayi and Shi Xuan, who were standing to the side.

What is this thing? A level two soul tool. Why are the dean and Xuan Ziwen acting all different here?

After a long while, the two, who were immersed in the second-level soul tool, finally came back to their senses, and were even somewhat reluctant to leave.

This time, Jing Hongchen spoke first, taking the lead.

"Yuhao, the two arrays, the flight control system core array and the soul power supply core array, are truly impressive. I can also guess the general purpose of this work in the future. Once the limitation on the total amount of soul power storage is solved, this work will occupy a pivotal position in both civilian and military applications."

"However, this presents a huge problem: as the body size increases, it becomes difficult to balance the storage and consumption of soul power. Of course, once high-density soul power compression technology matures, this problem will not be difficult to solve. There is also the lack of soul guidance shields."

Huo Yuhao slowly raised his hand, feigning innocence once again: "Uh, may I ask who you are?"

Jing Hongchen slapped his forehead. Oh no! He was so busy talking that he forgot to introduce himself, and Xuan Ziwen beat him to it again.

“Child, I am Jing Hongchen, the dean of the Royal Soul Master Academy and the head of the Mingde Hall. I am the one who gave you the free soul guide card for the cafeteria, those two pills, and three million gold soul coins.”

He tried to use his previous resources to make Huo Yuhao remember him, and sure enough, when it came to those who treated him well, Huo Yuhao always followed his heart.

"So you are the dean. Thank you for your guidance. I am deeply grateful."

Jing Hongchen smiled broadly, looking very pleased, and glanced at Xuan Ziwen with a touch of arrogance.

“No need for that, Yuhao. I’ve been watching you since your first day at school. The reason I haven’t shown up yet is because I wanted to see what you could achieve. Clearly, you haven’t disappointed me. Your talent is absolutely unmatched in the history of the Sun Moon Empire.”

Huo Yuhao scratched his head modestly.

Good, good, good. The brother and sister who laughed at the world and dreamed of the world were unparalleled geniuses in a thousand years, and now I have become the one in history. Is the history of the Sun Moon Empire reliable? How come there are so many once-in-a-millennium geniuses?

"Thank you for the praise, Dean. I am merely standing on the shoulders of my predecessors. I am truly unworthy of such praise."

At this moment, Xuan Ziwen suddenly interrupted.

"No, Yuhao, you deserve it. Those pedantic fellows can't compare to your unparalleled creativity. You know, Yuhao, you may have made history in the research of soul tool layout."

Soul-guided airship?

Xuan Ziwen just wanted to say, "To hell with that clumsy, slow thing!"

It's important to understand that only Title Douluo possess the ability to fly. While flying soul tools allow flight, they still require soul power to sustain them, limiting their altitude and distance, restricting them to a single person, and making ground attacks impossible, thus failing to benefit ordinary people. However, Yuhao's drone, or rather, aircraft soul tool, benefits from its core flight control system array and soul power supply array. Once the soul power storage issue is resolved and it's scaled up, Yuhao can't even imagine how much potential it could have.

Although this soul tool still has many shortcomings, such as the soul shield, the soul power conversion system, and the operating system under special control, it cannot stop the fact that it has set a precedent.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao has only just become a Level 2 Soul Master, and he has only just passed the assessment. What more can he ask for? Even if he only provides a model, just the flight control core array alone, he would make sure Huo Yuhao passes the Level 2 Soul Master assessment with a perfect score.

Jing Hongchen also joined in, and the experimental zone has now become a talent recruitment event for the two big shots. They are about to praise Huo Yuhao as an unparalleled genius who can shatter the ages. Who can stand this?

Fortunately, Lin Jiayi spoke up in time to defuse the situation.

"Dean, Teacher Xuan, since Yuhao's work is so outstanding, let him pass the Level 2 Soul Master assessment with a perfect score."

Full marks, must be full marks!
Xuan Ziwen didn't care about anything else and directly extended an invitation.

“Yuhao, you have talent and creativity that are hard for ordinary people to match. It would be a waste for you to stay in the teaching department with such talent. Come with me, I will take you to see the teacher, he will definitely be willing to take you as his apprentice.”

"Trust me, Yuhao, you will bring the world of Soul Masters to a whole new level!"

At this moment, Jing Hongchen's face had darkened. Damn it, they're poaching my talent right in front of me and ruining my place!
"Ahem, Yuhao, this guy is just wandering around here today. You're a student in our teaching department, and you're still young. Even if you go to the research department with him, you won't be able to keep up with the learning progress. That would be a waste of your talent."

"A tall building rises from the ground. My idea is that you continue to study in the teaching department until you have fully mastered the theoretical knowledge before becoming a Level 5 Soul Master."

"As the dean, I can teach you more often in the future. Also, I have a son and a daughter who are about the same age as you, so I'm sure you'll have a lot in common."

"Of course, I currently have no disciples. If you'd like, Yuhao..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door to the Soul Guidance Experiment Area was kicked open again, and a hoarse yet authoritative old voice came from inside.

"Jing Hongchen, what do you mean by these words?"

Along with Jing Hongchen and the others in the experimental area, except for Xuan Ziwen, everyone trembled involuntarily upon seeing the old man appear.

Jing Hongchen adjusted his glasses with an unnatural expression, looked at the newcomer, and said with a wandering gaze.

"Ahem, it's Master Kong! Weren't you in seclusion? What brings you here?"

The newcomer was none other than Kong Deming, the only level 10 Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire, or rather, a near-level 10 Soul Master, the Hall Master of the Offering Hall, a level 94 Title Douluo, and the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire!
"Hmph, if it weren't for Xuan Ziwen sending me a message, I wouldn't have known that a once-in-a-millennium super genius was almost secretly snatched away by you."

Despite Jing Hongchen's constant use of the term "old man" when no one was around, he dared not be disrespectful to Kong Deming when he actually appeared before him.

The two even have a very close relationship. After all, one is the head of the Hall of Offering and the other is the head of the Hall of Bright Virtue. Both are among the top people in the field of soul tool research. Even though there is a difference in age, their relationship is still good.

Although Jing Hongchen is the head of Mingde Hall and has the Hongchen family as his backer, he is no match for Kong Deming.

Putting aside Kong Deming's own extraordinary strength and the quarter royal blood in his body, the title of "Father of Soul Tools" alone is enough to make Jing Hongchen unable to raise his head in front of him.
