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

Chapter 35 Research on the Fusion of Soul Bones and Soul Tools
Four months later.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Research Department.

The rooftop terrace.

Xiao Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and his younger sister sitting on the edge of the parapet, and walked over with a fawning smile, sitting down next to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, what are you planning to create for your Level 3 Soul Master project?"

That's right, Xiao Hongchen is actually being somewhat obsequious when he's talking to Huo Yuhao.

There was no other way; he became a Level 2 Soul Master in three months, and now he's about to become a Level 3 Soul Master in just five months.

One month of that time was spent acquiring a spirit ring, and no research was conducted on spirit tools. Even if all the time was added up, it only took nine months. You have to admire that.

Xiao Hongchen had always firmly believed that he was a genius, but when faced with Huo Yuhao, he had to admit that it would be difficult for him to catch up with Huo Yuhao's talent later on.

Especially with the widespread use of soul-guided lathes during this period, and the unmanned soul-guided aircraft that he had seen but which had not been disclosed, he felt that Huo Yuhao not only far surpassed him in talent, but also in his understanding of soul-guided devices.

Fortunately, he didn't waste this time. Now he is a level 5 Soul Master and his Soul Master level has reached level 49, just short of level 50. His younger sister has also passed the level 5 Soul Master assessment and has the same Soul Power as him.

He was confident that he and his younger sister would become Soul Kings before the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, which would also delay Huo Yuhao's pursuit.

Huo Yuhao pushed the pretty face that had been staring at him aside and smiled as he turned to the side.

"A level three Soul Master's work? I've been learning from my teacher lately and discovered something interesting. Do you remember the thousand-year-old Soul Bone I bought a few days ago?"

Meng Hongchen, who had just been pushed away by Huo Yuhao, was stunned and looked somewhat surprised.

"Yuhao, do you mean you're planning to get involved in the fusion of soul bones and soul tools? Your Level 3 Soul Master assessment entry won't be this type, will it?"

"That's a fair statement."

Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao, who nodded lightly, and couldn't help but gasp.

Soul tools made from soul bones, or soul tools with soul bone characteristics, are the culmination of Mingde Hall's work. Is Yuhao going to challenge such a work in his Level 3 Soul Master assessment?

After all, they were quite familiar with this thing. A long time ago, Mingde Hall had even developed an eighth-level melee soul tool called the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. The blade of this soul tool was fused with the right arm bone of a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast, which was truly amazing.

It was only because of the scarcity of soul bones in the Sun Moon Empire, and the fact that high-grade soul bones were essential materials for making advanced soul bone tools, that this project gradually disappeared from people's sight.

It's quite unbelievable that Huo Yuhao, at only level three, wanted to challenge such a work.

Huo Yuhao knew exactly what they were thinking and explained with a smile.

“I’m saying, have you misunderstood something? You should know that even if I had the intention, my soul power is only level 29, the metal I used is not a rare metal, and my soul bone is only at the thousand-year level. How could I possibly make the kind of thing you’re thinking of?”

Although the soul bone and soul tool are the culmination of Mingde Hall's work, Huo Yuhao had Kong Deming as his teacher, so it wasn't difficult for him to understand the manufacturing principle of such a soul tool.

While soul bones and soul tools sound impressive, they actually have many limitations. For example, soul tools are not as convenient as directly fusing with soul bones, nor can they enhance a soul master's physical attributes while granting them soul skills. They are also difficult to place.

The abilities of the obtained soul tools are mostly solidified soul skills of soul bones, which can be considered useless to some extent.

If there's any benefit, it's only that it can significantly reduce the soul power consumption of a soul master.

The reason he chose soul bones and soul tools was to lay a solid foundation for his future path. By researching soul bones and soul tools in advance, he could try to fuse them with his soul bones later on when he was able to create higher-level soul tools.

Then, the soul tools will be stored in the soul bones to create the prototype of the battle armor. As one's strength increases and one collects a full set of soul bones, it's not impossible to eventually possess a full set of divine armor—a veritable imperial armor! That's simply unreasonable. Furthermore, combining the soul tools with necromancy...
Even so, it's still amazing!

Looking at Huo Yuhao's calm expression, Meng Hongchen felt her heart had been hit again.

At this moment, Meng Hongchen said with a smile, "Yuhao, you're about to reach level 30 and get your third soul ring, right?"

She was incredibly surprised when she heard this. She was a level 20 Great Soul Master during the holiday, but she was level 27 when she came back. Now, she has increased her level by two in just over four months. Even taking pills couldn't increase her level by that much.

If it weren't for her grandfather's instructions to keep it a secret, she really would have pinned Huo Yuhao against the wall and asked him how he cultivated.

"Yes, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is in three months. My plan with my teacher is to reach level 30 and obtain the third soul ring before the tournament begins."

With four months of weekly medicinal baths, top-tier meditation techniques, and the blessings of Tianmeng and Bingdi, it's not surprising to level up twice.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with high spirits.

They're not far from level 50. If they train hard these next few months, they might be able to become Soul Kings and obtain a suitable fifth Soul Ring before the tournament begins.

"Oh, right." At this moment, Meng Hongchen seemed to remember something.

"Yuhao, the academy will be selecting reserve teams to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament in a week. You'd better be in good shape by then."

After all, Huo Yuhao still has to participate in the Level 3 Soul Master assessment. If there's a time conflict, things could get messy.

"Ok, I know."

The atmosphere then returned to a relaxed state.

"Yuhao, would you like to take a look at my level 5 soul guide creation? It's a floating cannon array composed of hundreds of small floating cannons. It can be precisely controlled by mental power to achieve multi-angle saturation attacks, but it consumes a lot of energy."

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and smiled.

"Brother, you want to experience Yuhao's Spirit Detection Sharing Soul Skill again, right?"

"I do have that idea." Xiao Hongchen didn't feel embarrassed at all.

As the group grew closer, Huo Yuhao's soul skills were naturally tested by the two of them. Apart from the incredible mental puppet, Xiao Hongchen had been obsessed with the shared mental detection ever since he experienced it once.

There's no way around it; the feeling of being able to manipulate soul tools to achieve precise strikes and having everything in your field of vision under your control is simply too unforgettable.

Huo Yuhao patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder and said, "Next time, when the reserve team selection is held, the three of us will give those guys a big surprise, and then you'll have a good experience."

This can be seen as bringing Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen onto the battle line. If a chaotic battle like the one at Shrek Academy were to occur, at least they wouldn't be eliminated all at once.

"Great!"

Meng Hongchen was even happier than Xiao Hongchen. The thought of fighting alongside Huo Yuhao made her incredibly excited.

"By the way, I think you guys need to practice your Martial Soul Fusion Skill more. It might be the key to victory or defeat in the competition."

"no problem!"
