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

Chapter 20 Where does Shrek's sense of honor come from?
The Hall of Offerings is located within a hidden barrier beneath the Imperial City, while Kong Deming's residence is situated at the heart of the Hall of Offerings.

Huo Yuhao followed his teacher all the way to his residence, then rubbed his tired, sore eyes.

I'm still too weak. I can't even understand the operating circuits of those soul tools. Sure enough, I still have a long way to go.

"What's wrong? Feeling discouraged?"

Kong Deming stared at his disciple with a smile. He had noticed Huo Yuhao probing the soul tools all the way, but he didn't care.

If even a mere second-level Soul Master like my own disciple could understand the core arrays of those 'forbidden' Soul Tools, then there would be no need for these things to exist.

"No, that's not it. It's just that, teacher, I see a prototype of a high-altitude soul tool here. Why was Master Hongchen so excited when he saw my second-level soul tool creation?"

Kong Deming laughed heartily and explained.

“Yuhao, Jing Hongchen does know some things about the Hall of Offerings, but that doesn’t mean your work isn’t amazing. You should know that even the high-altitude soul tool here is only in its prototype stage. I’m not afraid to tell you, this thing is designed to be used against Shrek Academy.”

"Yuhao, your work, though simple, can be said to have provided a new direction for the research of high-altitude soul guide devices, especially that flight control core array."

"You should know that the high-altitude soul guide you just saw was originally designed to enable single-person flight mech piloting, or to use human fusion technology, which has many limitations."

"."

After Kong Deming's explanation, Huo Yuhao finally understood. In the end, it was still impossible to escape the constraints of soul power and mecha. In short, technology seemed to be locked down, unable to achieve universality, let alone benefit the grassroots.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Yuhao, it's too early for you to be researching these things."

"I brought you here today for two reasons. First, I want to broaden your horizons so that you won't become arrogant after receiving praise. Second, I also want to make arrangements for your future cultivation."

Afterwards, Kong Deming explained all his arrangements for Huo Yuhao. In short, Huo Yuhao would continue to study in the teaching department, under the care of Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen. Once his theoretical knowledge was solid enough, he could enter the Mingde Hall to conduct research with Xuan Ziwen. And once his Soul Master level reached level seven, he could directly enter the Hall of Offerings, thus enjoying the treatment of a super genius once again.

In addition, the cultivation of the martial spirit cannot be neglected. Kong Deming plans to build a simulated environment specifically for Huo Yuhao to help him cultivate the Spirit Eye Martial Spirit. There will also be medicinal baths to enhance his physical strength.

Moreover, on every day off, Huo Yuhao would bring his accumulated cultivation problems to the Hall of Offerings to seek answers from his teacher and collect some rare metals he needed.

In short, Soul Masters and Soul Instructors must be given equal importance and progressed in tandem, with neither aspect being neglected.

This is quite different from Mu En's teaching of Huo Yuhao in the original route. After all, although Kong Deming is over a hundred years old, he definitely has many years to live and will not make his disciple Huo Yuhao feel pressured. Moderate cultivation is the key to faster progress.

"So, Yuhao, do you have any questions?"

"No problem, teacher." Huo Yuhao nodded, trying to appear calm.

He was truly numb to it all. He felt that if he went to Shrek Academy, he would never get these resources, even if he stayed there until he died.

That Dean of the Spirit Department at Bright Phoenix, at most, promised him a 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone after he displayed his talent for ultimate ice—but that was just an empty promise. What's the point of playing along? Not only do you get no benefit, but you also have to fight to the death for that damned 10,000-year honor. We don't know where those Shrek Academy people's sense of honor comes from; it's truly terrifying.

Could it be that Chicken Leg Douluo, the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, who said at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament: "If your students die, they die, but if anyone in Shrek Academy is injured, everyone will pay with their lives"? Or is it that saying that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre?
I, Shrek, am so protective of my own!

"Alright, in that case, Yuhao, you should rest well this week. There's no need to rush your theoretical learning of the Level 3 Soul Master. Adjust your physical condition; there are even greater challenges waiting for you later."

"If there's anything you need from the teaching department, just tell the teacher. Even if it's some rare and precious natural treasures, the teacher has the ability to find them for you."

Huo Yuhao could feel the teacher's care and respect for him, and he rarely showed such emotion, so he nodded.

The term "master" implies that one is both a teacher and a father.
He planned to put the matter of the soul tool aside for now and focus on breaking through his soul power level. With the more than 13 million gold soul coins, plus the Xuan Shui Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill, as well as the top-level meditation method given by his teacher, he felt that he had a good chance of reaching level 20 before the first holiday.

Then, find a reason to go to the far north and obtain the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, ranked seventh among the ten most ferocious beasts on land and second among the three Heavenly Kings of the far north.

Thinking about it this way, the time ahead is really tight. Moreover, the Spirit Eye Martial Soul will probably need to acquire a second spirit ring by then. In order to withstand the higher age of spirit beasts, improving physical fitness is also urgent. I also need to eat more Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue. This stuff is very necessary.

The selection of soul beasts should also be put on the agenda in the near future. There is definitely no need to simulate soul skills, since the mental interference field is sufficient.

"Sigh, I can't even get a day's rest!"

In the afternoon, after returning to his single dormitory, Huo Yuhao first washed himself, then changed into a white school uniform and began cultivating.

The top-tier meditation method truly lives up to its name. Its speed of absorbing soul power is far faster than the basic meditation method provided by the academy. Coupled with his current aptitude, even without the subsequent opportunities, his cultivation speed would still be enough to place him among the top tier of geniuses.

When you switch from basic meditation to advanced meditation, Tianmeng will appear at the right time.

"Yuhao, you have no idea how scared I was just now. Your teacher seemed to be a terrifying threat. I felt like my eyes were being pricked by needles just from one glance. It really scared me to death."

As she spoke, she even patted the human body that had transformed into a blonde, ahoge-haired loli.

Huo Yuhao slowly exhaled and explained.

"Tianmeng, my teacher possesses numerous level-nine soul tools, including many specifically designed for the soul. I can only say that you are incredibly lucky, Tianmeng. If you had been accidentally injured, I would have truly had to build a grave for you in the Sea of ​​Spirit."

Little Golden Retriever Tianmeng felt only fortunate at this moment, and recalling everything that had happened today, she asked curiously.

"Yuhao, take out your two level-nine soul tools and let me see them. I've never seen a top-level soul tool from you humans before. Also, from now on, call me Sister Tianmeng."

"Okay, Tianmeng, no problem, Tianmeng."
