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

Chapter 36 First Sequence Cultivation, The Beginning of the Sun and Moon Layout
"Whoo~"

The Hall of Offerings is a dedicated area for crafting Soul Guides.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of level nine Soul Masters, Huo Yuhao completed his level three Soul Master creation without any major incidents.

As for the theoretical knowledge assessment, sorry, there's really no need for that anymore, because Kong Deming has already perfectly verified the solidity of Huo Yuhao's theoretical knowledge, and no one would be so tactless as to question the judgment of a level 10 Soul Master.

"Yuhao, what's the name of this soul tool?"

Faced with the approving gazes of the big shots around him, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and gave the soul tool a name on the spot.

"Teacher, since it's made from the head bone of the Ice Soul Rhinoceros, how about calling it the Ice Soul Rhinoceros Chain?"

Kong Deming nodded in satisfaction, "With the ice rhinoceros skull from the far north as its core, the chains can freeze the flow of soul power, restrict the enemy's movement, and be released in the form of mental power. It's a very good level three soul tool."

Blue and silver entanglement?

No, no, no, these are completely different!
The other level-nine soul masters looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration and their eyes were filled with indescribable satisfaction. Compared to Huo Yuhao's previous two works, this level-three soul tool was quite good, but it was not amazing. After all, the path of soul bone and soul tool research had already been established, and Huo Yuhao had only made a re-creation based on the work of his predecessors.

Of course, they didn't have such high expectations. This child was not even twelve years old yet, and he was already about to become a Soul Master and a Level 3 Soul Master, breaking the record for the fastest Level 3 Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire once again. What more could they ask for?

Um.
Well, with Huo Yuhao's frequent visits to the Hall of Worship during this period, coupled with his talent, he is now considered a treasure by the most powerful figures in the Sun Moon Empire, the kind of person who is usually treated like royalty.

Moreover, he was Kong Deming's last disciple.

Jing Hongchen was also there. Since the last Level 2 Soul Master assessment, he had missed the chance to make Huo Yuhao his last disciple because he was too hesitant. He planned that no matter how busy he was, he would come to support Huo Yuhao whenever he participated in the Soul Master assessment.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao has gotten along well with his grandchildren during this time. If Huo Yuhao grows up and becomes a level 10 Soul Master, his relationship with Xiao and Meng will be enough to ensure that the Hongchen family continues to stand tall on the continent for hundreds of years.

Indeed, in Jing Hongchen's eyes, Huo Yuhao has the potential to become a level 10 Soul Master.

"Yuhao, this technique of fusing soul bones and soul tools is still too demanding on operation and soul bone resources. Do you have any more universal research methods you can recommend?"

Huo Yuhao: "Yes, yes, Dean. There are many other ways to do this without relying on manual skills. It's just that my soul power level is not high enough right now. I have a general idea in mind, but I can't do it yet."

Jing Hongchen was overjoyed.

"It's alright, Yuhao. You just need to tell me your thoughts, and Mingdetang will verify them later."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to express his thoughts on the soul bone inlay technology, soul bone soul guide device implantation, and the inlaying of soul bone origin imprints, Kong Deming timely interrupted their conversation.

"Alright, we just finished making a level three soul tool, and Yuhao hasn't had a chance to rest yet. We can talk about it in a few days."

Jing Hongchen looked like a wronged wife. "Old man, what are you so smug about? Look at your old face, the wrinkles from smiling could trap flies." However, to show his appreciation, Jing Hongchen ignored Kong Deming's gaze and gave Huo Yuhao ten million gold soul coins as a reward.

As for whether the reward is this level-three soul tool or an investment in Huo Yuhao's future, that's none of your business, and no one present stopped them.

"Okay, Yuhao, after you've rested for a few days, we'll continue our chat. Be sure to come to Mingde Hall to find me!"

"Yes, don't worry, Dean. I'll come and talk to you after the selection process for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament."

There's no reason to refuse money offered to him, so Huo Yuhao accepted the huge sum after receiving a barely perceptible nod from his teacher. His personal savings received a boost, and his net worth skyrocketed once again!

His current soul power level is still too low. Moreover, even though he meets the requirements in terms of soul power and soul guidance knowledge, he still needs a lot of verification to achieve a perfect combination of soul bone and soul guidance set.

Now, let me share my thoughts in advance. By pooling everyone's wisdom and with the support of Mingdetang's research, he can shorten the time considerably.

At this moment, an old man with gray hair stepped forward. He was also a level nine soul master from the Hall of Worship. He glanced at Kong Deming, and with the latter's nod, he slowly spoke.

"Yuhao, you have now fully demonstrated your talent in soul tools. After a joint decision by the old guys in our Hall of Worship and the Lord of the Red Dust Hall, we have decided to include you in the first-tier training program of the Empire."

"Going forward, whether it's the cultivation resources needed for the development of Soul Masters, or the vast amount of knowledge and rare metals required for research in the field of Soul Masters, everything will be geared towards you to the greatest extent possible. What do you think?"

how about it?
Hesitating for even a second is a disrespect for this promise.

"I fully agree with the opinions of my elders."

Compared to Shrek Academy, it was during his time in the Sun Moon Empire that he truly understood what it meant to be rich and powerful. They really wanted to overwhelm geniuses with gold soul coins and resources.

As for the shortcomings in the development of Soul Masters, it depends on how you look at it. They have a simulated environment, they have resources, they have some Soul Bones but not many, and they are not lacking in Gold Soul Coins. As for the development of Soul Tools, well, let's not talk about that. Even so, he can't understand why Soul Masters can't develop.

Missing a Soul Beast?
The Demon Forest, the Jingyang Mountains, the icy sea in the northern part of the empire, and the far north. Stop fooling around, let's go home!

It's not so much that the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master development is inferior to Shrek Academy's, but rather that the Sun Moon Empire simply lacks true geniuses.

As we all know, most Soul Masters become stronger as soon as their Soul Power level increases. When they have talent, Soul Masters of the same path type fight by relying on Soul Skills. The only thing they compete on is the strength of their attributes, Soul Skills, and Soul Power. Everything else is not a big problem.

So, Shrek Academy, which relies on sucking blood from the entire Douluo Continent to trap all the talents in the world, naturally has a much higher level of development in Soul Masters than Sun Moon Academy. As for self-created Soul Skills, how many can you find in the entire Shrek Academy?

(Mu En's self-created soul skills have a high learning threshold, and he only briefly touched on them when teaching Huo Gua. Rather than teaching him, he only provided a direction and left it to Huo Gua to figure out on his own.)
As for Haodong's Three Wonders, sorry, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. (Scratch that.)
"Teacher, may I ask, how many people are currently qualified for the first-tier training program?"

Kong Deming and the other old men exchanged smiles and replied.

"Currently, it's just you. The two youngsters from the Hongchen family are also under consideration, and the results will be announced soon. But no matter how the selection is conducted, the scope of knowledge about this matter is limited to some high-ranking members of the Gongfeng Hall and Mingde Hall. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is also aware of it."

"The number of people will not be too many. Taking Shrek Academy's approach as a reference, the final number will not exceed seven people. In order to ensure an absolute supply of resources, this number will only be less, not more."

Huo Yuhao nodded knowingly. Now he knew what his teacher and these top seniors were planning.

Half an hour later, Jing Hongchen and several level-nine soul masters reluctantly left, leaving only Kong Deming and Huo Yuhao, the old man and the young man, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Teacher, you go first."

Kong Deming chuckled and mysteriously used a soul tool to isolate the conversation.

"You little rascal, guess what good stuff your master has gotten for you?"
