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

Chapter 47 Metal Mastery: Huge Gains

"Whoo~"

Several hours later, Huo Yuhao slowly woke up. He had to admit that this 24,000-year-old soul ring was indeed powerful.

To be honest, Huo Yuhao found it incredible that the Three-Legged Golden Toad, a rare soul beast with divine beast blood, could be found in less than a month and still meet the requirements for soul ring absorption.

This feeling is like being enveloped in good fortune, as if all the things you want can come true.

How to describe him? He is favored by destiny, the most beloved child of Douluo Star. Even with the [Strong Luck] deactivated, he still has inexhaustible luck.

Although it took a lot of effort, the soul skill he obtained was exactly what he wanted.

"Yuhao, hurry up, hurry up and show us your soul skills, I can't wait!"

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, stretched out his right hand and clenched it in the air. The metal elements in this area began to boil and surge violently for no apparent reason.

Even Xiao Hongchen felt that his control over the metal elements had improved.

On Huo Yuhao's right hand, the condensed metal elements continued to coalesce and recombine, and his body was also covered with a layer of dark golden metallic halo.

"My third soul skill is called Metal Control. It can be driven by mental power to decompose and reassemble metal structures at will, and also metallize myself. In the metallized state, my defense is greatly enhanced, and when I attack, I can trigger a dual effect of stunning the enemy and soul power dissipation."

"As my mental strength and soul power increase, the power of this soul skill will also increase."

"In addition, this soul skill has a passive effect, which is that it can passively absorb free metal energy to replenish the consumed soul power, and has a more sensitive perception of special treasures."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen immediately thought of something deeper.

Sure enough, Yuhao was born a perfect Soul Master.

This soul skill is similar to the shared mental detection, which not only greatly helps in soul guidance research, but also plays a significant role in combat.

"Metal control?"

"Yuhao, you...you're not kidding, are you?"

Isn't this an innate talent of his martial soul? How did Yuhao acquire it by absorbing a soul ring? Isn't that a bit too overpowered?

"Yes, I'm not kidding. Starting today, there's another person in the Metal Control position."

"In addition, my soul power has increased to level thirty-four, which is quite a gain."

凸(艹皿艹), laughing at the world, speechless.

"Congratulations, Yuhao. Let's see if your brother will still be so arrogant from now on."

Although Meng Hongchen had just given her older brother a different look, it didn't stop them from bickering at all.

After glancing at the three-legged toad corpse on the ground, Jing Hongchen chuckled and took out the right leg bone he had just chopped off.

"Yuhao, this is the right leg bone from the three-legged golden toad. Absorbing soul rings and soul bones from the same soul beast will be of the greatest help to a soul master."

"Since you've just absorbed a spirit ring, absorb this spirit bone now."

Huo Yuhao was originally planning to loot the corpse, after all, he had activated the [Strong Luck] Echo in order to obtain the soul skill he wanted.

And the result did not disappoint him; this three-legged golden toad, over 20,000 years old, did indeed produce a soul bone.
He didn't take it, but said, "Dean, I don't need this soul bone. To be honest, the reason I absorbed the Three-Legged Golden Toad soul beast is simply because I was interested in its ability to control metal."

"If possible, I can give this soul bone to the Dean. Dean, you can calculate the value of this soul bone and compensate me with something else."

To be honest, he really didn't care about a 20,000-year-old soul bone. It wasn't a matter of pretending or not. Just like how he didn't absorb the Ice Emperor's torso bone and left it empty, he had better options later.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen was momentarily at a loss for words.

Even Xiao Hongchen was stunned, a slight emotion flickering in his eyes.

They wouldn't believe Huo Yuhao's nonsense about not needing it, because every ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was something they desperately wanted but couldn't obtain, and was known as a supreme treasure.

Therefore, in their eyes, there is only one reason why Huo Yuhao did this: it is for Xiao Hongchen.

"Yuhao, you really are my best brother."

Xiao Hongchen was lost in his self-pity, leaving Huo Yuhao completely bewildered. What was this kid suddenly going on about? However, he also understood that if he didn't want it, then the most suitable recipient for this soul bone was naturally Xiao Hongchen.

"Yuhao, are you sure you've thought this through? You should know that this soul bone is 24,000 years old. Even in top auction houses, soul bones of this quality don't appear very often."

The three-legged toad is said to possess the bloodline of a divine beast, and one can imagine how rare the soul bones of such a spirit beast are.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand, stretched his shoulders, and took a deep breath.

"Dean, this soul bone is really not suitable for me. I have already obtained what I wanted. This soul bone is clearly more suitable for Xiao to absorb."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen rushed towards Huo Yuhao with a howl, but the latter covered his face with his hands, and he could only struggle back and forth trying to hug him.

"What the hell are you doing, you bastard!"

"Yuhao, I knew you were thinking of me. Good brother, from now on, I'll protect you. Anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over my dead body."

"There's no need for that. I can protect myself."

"No, if you don't agree, you're disrespecting me."

"Oh, okay."

Meng Hongchen also joined in.

"And me and me."

Jing Hongchen, standing to the side, watched this scene with a sigh, thinking, "Youth, ah, how wonderful."

After watching the three of them playfully bicker for a while, Jing Hongchen finally spoke.

"Don't worry, Yuhao, I won't let you suffer any losses here." He then took out another Soul Guidance Silver Card. "Here are ten million Gold Soul Coins. In addition, when we return to the academy, I will prepare some rare metals for you. You will definitely not suffer any losses."

Huo Yuhao nodded and accepted the ten million gold soul coins, which were of little use. With these ten million gold soul coins, his net worth had now reached more than thirty million.

In fact, given the value of this soul bone, it's worth at most ten million gold soul coins, not to mention the rare metals that are guaranteed to be there afterward.

The things that come later are the truly scarce resources, because due to the restrictions of the Sun Moon Empire, they are the kind that even money cannot guarantee you can buy.

You may not lack your own teachers, but why not get an extra one?

"Alright, let's take advantage of the time now and absorb this soul bone quickly."

Xiao Hongchen didn't hesitate. After all, although he didn't want to take advantage of Yuhao, it was his own brother who gave it to him, so it wouldn't be right for him to be hesitant.

As dusk fell and Huo Yuhao had prepared dinner, Xiao Hongchen finally woke up from absorbing the soul bone.

"Haha, my soul power has increased by another level, now it's level 53, and I've also obtained a pretty good soul bone skill."

Having learned from the previous example, Xiao Hongchen was smarter this time. He first went to the group and ate and drank his fill without saying a word before talking about his soul bone technique.

"Hey, my soul bone skill is called Golden Toad Leap Shadow. Its effect is that my right leg can burst out with golden light and instantly leap forward three times in succession. The leap distance is related to the soul power consumption, and the trajectory leaves behind transparent metallic miasma."

"Enemies who come into contact with the miasma will be corroded by it, falling into a 2-second 'metal freeze' state. Tactically, this state combines mobility, crowd control, and armor penetration, making it particularly effective against melee Soul Masters and Weapon Soul wielders."

He smiled and looked at Meng Hongchen.

"The cooldown time is a bit long, but if combined with Dream's poison control, making 'Metal Corrosion' and 'Neurotoxin' work together, I think it can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts in terms of crowd control and team fight dominance."

Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen exchanged a smile. "Congratulations!"

Jing Hongchen was only focused on eating. Ever since entering the Jingyang Mountains, he had been thinking about Huo Yuhao's cooking skills and didn't have time to pay attention to his arrogant grandson.

Xiao Hongchen was no longer willing to compete with Huo Yuhao, after all, this guy was a freak who could absorb a soul ring of more than 20,000 years at level 30.

However, he was not bad either; his fifth spirit ring broke through the conventional spirit ring age limit, and everyone gained a lot from this trip.

P.S.: I'm asking for monthly votes at the beginning of the month! I appreciate your support, dear readers!!
