Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 218 Becoming the Client of Mingde Hall! A Luck-Making Machine! [Bonus Chapter - 890 Monthly Tickets + 650 Comments]

"brush--"

Poison Undying appeared in front of Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Yuhao, are you sure it's the Great Sumeru Hammer? Or the Exploding Ring?"

"Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "My girlfriend is the young master of the Haotian Sect, so it's reasonable for me to know that, right?"

It's very reasonable.

Can.
"Are you sure there won't be any problems if this gets leaked out like this?" Poison Immortal said seriously, "This is a closely guarded secret of the Haotian Sect. Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Haotian Sect because of it?"

Huo Yuhao smiled nonchalantly.

"I am now irreconcilably at odds with the Haotian Sect. I'm so indebted that I don't care anymore."

"The sect leader can decide for himself whether or not to learn this Great Sumeru Hammer. After all, for tens of thousands of years, the Ring Explosion technique has been unique to the Haotian Sect."

Du Bu Si stared at Huo Yu Hao, making sure he was serious.

He laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Haotian Sect?"

"They don't even have a Limit Douluo. After I master the Explosion Ring, what am I afraid of?"

"Yuhao, you can teach with confidence. From now on, the Body Sect will be your support, and we will grant you any requests you may have!"

"If you don't want to be the sect leader's successor, then be an honorary elder!"

"Come, pay your respects to the Honorary Elder!"

Long Aotian and other elites of the Body Sect bowed in respect.

"Greetings, Elder!!!"

Is it possible to have this much luck value just to get a job?

"The Body Sect has high cohesion, and most members are single-minded. They can truly back you up," Zhuge Lan explained. "Simply put, they protect their own."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

He used his mental power to retrieve his hundreds of soul-guided cannons.

"In the state of mental sharing, I will demonstrate to you the techniques of exploding the rings four times and controlling the infusion of soul power."

Whether one can comprehend it or not depends entirely on the individual.

"Also, I must remind you that if you're not careful, you can cause your spirit ring to disappear permanently, so don't try it unless you're sure you can do it."

"Of course, if you encounter a desperate situation, you can also take a gamble; it's definitely more effective than self-destruction."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Du Busi discreetly.

It was because Brother Lan mentioned that the poison would eventually self-destruct, that he had the idea to share his cultivation techniques and combat skills today.

But the idea that he wouldn't die from poison was clearly a misunderstanding, he said, patting his chest.

"Yuhao, you can teach with confidence. If anyone gets crippled by practicing incorrectly, it just means they are not skilled enough, and it's not your fault!"

“Yes, Yuhao,” Vina chimed in. “Back then, Haotian Douluo, who was at level 97, could defeat Rakshasa God, who had become a god at level 100, by exploding all nine of his rings at once. Such a divine skill naturally requires certain qualifications. If one insists on it, one must bear the consequences.”

Huo Yuhao looked at Vina in surprise.

How can you just blurt out such confidential information?
No wonder she could so readily identify the origin of the Goddess of Light butterfly; she's truly learned.

"Alright, everyone, please experience it carefully!"

"Kacha—kacha—"

[Rewrite the fate of the Body Sect, the Undying Poison, and the Proud Dragon, +55 Luck Points!]

Huo Yuhao stepped out of the spatial portal and arrived at the Temple of Light.

Looking at the large amount of luck points that had been deposited into his account, a smile crept onto his lips.

This is what they call good deeds being rewarded!

After a series of lessons, I reaped over a million luck points.

Cool!
"Stop having fun." The bamboo version of Zhuge Lan walked over and instructed, "When you go to Mingde Hall to study this time, remember the main objectives."

"Got it." Huo Yuhao said confidently, "Humanoid soul tool, poaching Xuan Ziwen and others, replicating advanced soul guidance arrays, right?"

While talking.

Huo Yuhao used the Heaven-Covering Secret Technique to change his aura. At the same time, his spiritual eyes lit up. After his second awakening, the patterns and colors had already changed, and now he added another layer of disguise.

Furthermore, Tianmeng can use illusion magic to change the color of spirit rings, so even if a titled Douluo comes, they won't be able to see the problem.

“Indeed, he is a completely different person,” the Lord of the Light Palace acknowledged.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early." Zhuge Lan pondered, "That old man Jing Hongchen wants to make me an eighth-level melee soul tool. You should go and observe and learn from him. These old men don't know that mental power can be copied with one click. Let's get some of their resources out of them first."

Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding, took the token thrown to him by the Lord of the Light Palace, and walked out of the Light God Palace.

"Then I'll go report to Mingde Hall first."

The long-unused flying soul tool was deployed and headed straight for Mingde Hall.

Although he had seen the secret technique clone many times, Huo Yuhao still gained new insights when he looked at Mingdu with his main body.

The most outrageous thing is that the Ming Dynasty didn't even have city walls.

The soul-guided device is buried deep underground and has complex functions such as shielding, defense, reconnaissance, and cleaning.

It covers the entire capital city and continues to function well.

This demonstrates the profound depth of the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided artifacts.

Look around.

Below you are endless buildings, most of them more than five stories high, and many landmark buildings that are nearly 100 meters tall.

It was the night before sunrise, and the sky was obscured by clouds, but the lights of thousands of homes would illuminate the capital.

Like a sky full of stars.

The city planning is also excellent, with wide stone-paved streets arranged in a well-organized manner, and the main roads are even more than 30 meters wide.

As Huo Yuhao flew by, the streetlights automatically turned on, emitting faint fluctuations of soul power.

—Those were all precious soul tools, yet they were scattered throughout the streets and alleys of Mingdu.

"What a pity," Huo Yuhao murmured. "Such a wonderful city is about to welcome a tyrannical master."

shook his head.

Huo Yuhao accelerated and swooped down toward Mingde Hall, making no attempt to conceal himself along the way, which attracted the attention of many patrol teams.

Here we must mention a detail: the tokens of the Temple of Light are all made by Mingde Hall and emit a soft but bright holy light.

Even if placed inside clothing, it will still manage to slip out through every gap.

The purpose was to make the token more conspicuous, so that everyone could recognize at a glance—this person is the big shot of the Temple of Light, so don't go up there and cause trouble!

Huo Yuhao naturally knew this, and the token was hanging on his waist.

So even though Huo Yuhao was a stranger, no one came up to check on him.

Just keep a close eye on it, and don't go to important areas.

Mingde Hall is clearly the core, so they can only...
Just letting you know.

You can handle the rest yourselves. They only make a few dollars a month. How dare they stop these crazy people who aren't afraid of death?
Yes.

Although it was still night, and although there was no prior notice.

When Huo Yuhao arrived at Mingde Hall, there were already more than a dozen people floating in the air, taking the initiative to come forward to greet him.

The leader was a short, stout middle-aged man with a face full of smiles.

"Greetings, Your Excellency of the Temple of Light. I am Lin Jiayi, the Dean of Students at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

“I will personally arrange your life and studies at the college in the future.”

"May I ask how you are addressed, sir?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and gave the name "Blue Rain".

As for why they entered Mingde Hall to study, the teachers who came were from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

That's because Mingde Hall is located inside the academy, similar to Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, and only accepts the most elite soul masters.

For someone like Huo Yuhao with strong connections, arrangements can be made directly.

"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Lan Yu."

Lin Jiayi waved his hand, and a girl carrying a tray flew forward from behind him.

"Here you'll find a map of the academy and your dormitory key. As for the school uniform, feel free to wear whatever you like; you can even wear the robes of the Temple of Light."

"This communication soul tool can contact me directly, but its effective range is limited to within Mingdu."

Huo Yuhao picked up the communication soul tool; it was the first time he had ever seen this little thing.

—The main reason is that the Temple of Light lacks soul power and has few opportunities to access soul tools.

"Is Lan Yu interested?" Lin Jiayi, with his keen eye, replied, "The design drawings will be delivered to the dormitory shortly."

“Okay.” Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “Let’s go, let’s get familiar with the place first, and then take me to find Jing Hongchen.”

Lin Jiayi quickly led the way, carefully introducing the place as he went.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has three main areas: the teaching area, the dormitory area, and the experimental area.

The experimental area occupies more than 70% of the area, and Mingde Hall is located within it, which is circled separately in red.

Huo Yuhao doesn't need to worry about the teaching area; he didn't come here to attend class.

As for the dormitory
It was a detached villa, and its soul-guided shield was always activated, allowing entry and exit only with a key.

The inside and outside are like two different worlds; once you step inside, even the sound is blocked out.

To isolate all potential sources of trouble to the greatest extent possible.

Huo Yuhao subtly scanned the area with his mental power, and lo and behold, the villas and dormitories within a 500-meter radius were all cleared out.

—This is the dormitory area inside the college, an area with a diameter of 1 kilometer, which can accommodate at least 3,000 people.

Furthermore, personnel were stationed at the edge, and a conspicuous warning line was set up.

Huo Yuhao was very satisfied with this display of strength.

He was crushed by a thousand methods back then before he achieved his current status at the Temple of Light.

"Lan Yu, this is the closest accommodation to Mingdu. Are you satisfied with the environment?" Lin Jiayi asked cautiously.

"That's good." Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Let's go find Jing Hongchen. I need to be involved in the whole process of making the close-combat soul tool that my brother created."

“No problem.” Lin Jiayi led the way and explained, “We’ve been holding a meeting with the teachers this afternoon, and things should be looking up by now. It’s good that you’re here so you can offer some suggestions.”

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao casually asked, "Who assigned me the soul tool instructor?"

"It's Ai Chen, an eighth-level Soul Master, the only female advanced Soul Master in Mingde Hall."

Huo Yuhao raised his hand to stop him.

“Let Xuan Ziwen teach me.”

"Uh," Lin Jiayi said with difficulty, "Replacing someone is certainly not a problem, but Xuan Ziwen is stubborn and I'm afraid he will be much stricter in teaching."

"It's alright, it was my own request, you can't blame me," Huo Yuhao promised.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayi's expression became even more bitter.

You say that now, but if you lose your temper later, won't he still have to appease you?

no way.

What can you do when someone's the boss? Just go along with them.

"Okay, I'll arrange it later."

"It's troublesome."

"Of course, of course, it's all my duty."

That being said.

Lin Jiayi quickened his pace, eager to "hand over" this hot potato as soon as possible.

Huo Yuhao didn't think of any more requirements for the time being, so he continued to walk into Mingde Hall and stopped in front of an experimental area.

Lin Jiayi didn't knock on the door, but instead took out a token and tapped it on the door lock.

After a few seconds.

The door opened automatically, and Lin Jiayi stepped aside.

"Please come in, Lan Yu. Dean Hongchen is inside."

"It's troublesome."

"Don't dare!"

The door closed again as Huo Yuhao walked in.

Lin Jiayi straightened up and wiped the sweat from his brow.

"These big shots from the Temple of Light are much harder to deal with than the Sun and Moon Royal Family!" "Hurry up and try to persuade that stubborn Xuan Ziwen; we absolutely can't afford any mishaps!"

Inside the experimental area was a huge workshop, where a dozen or so middle-aged people were working on their respective workbenches.

Jing Hongchen, who was at the very back, raised his head. Despite being a titled Douluo, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked exhausted.

Advanced Soul Masters can play around even after several days without sleep, so they can only rely on excessive mental exertion.

He was really going all out to get Meng Hongchen to take the third test as soon as possible.

Thinking room.

Jing Hongchen quickly walked up to Huo Yuhao and glanced at the glowing token.

"An exchange student from the Temple of Light?"

"Correct."

"It's perfect that you're here. Take a look at the design blueprints for the melee soul tool. If there are no problems, take it and compare it with Lan Zhu's."

"No need, Brother Lan has left everything to me," Huo Yuhao said.

Jing Hongchen couldn't help but glance at Huo Yuhao again.

"What's your name?"

"Blue Rain".

"He and Lan Zhu are brothers?"

"Blood ties, soul resonance!"

Jing Hongchen finally understood why the Temple of Light had gone to such great lengths to squeeze someone into the Hall of Bright Virtue.

If we can accept this Blue Rain, then our relationship with the Temple of Light will be solidified.

His mind raced.

Jing Hongchen grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand and walked towards the workbench.

Raise your hand.

The powerful soul force lifted up the design drawings and arranged them in order. The intricate lines and data were so complex that an ordinary person would get dizzy just by looking at them.

"So, did you understand it?"

“Basically no problem.” Huo Yuhao said without blinking, “I can also independently manufacture level six soul tools and assist in the manufacture of level seven and level eight soul tools.”

The busy crowd all looked up.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's youthful face, one can't help but question it.

—You little brat, independently crafting a level six soul tool?
"Are you sure you're a level six Soul Master?" Jing Hongchen asked strangely. "What's your Soul Power level?"

“Level 59,” Huo Yuhao said. “My martial soul is quite special. It’s my main body martial soul, Brain. My mental power can be projected outward to assist in inscribing soul guidance arrays, so I can create soul guidance devices beyond my level.”

As he spoke, five spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, and his own and Tianmeng's spiritual power rippled out simultaneously, creating a double layer of protection for his illusion technique.

Let them only look at one's brain-type martial soul and the best soul ring configuration of yellow, purple, purple, and black.

Tianmeng was in charge of Jing Hongchen, who was at level 94. Caught off guard, she did not notice anything unusual at all.

Instead, it felt like being hit by a pie.

"Where did you two brothers find, Lord Light?"

"One is a monstrous martial soul prodigy, and the other's soul master talent is also remarkable!"

"Really. Really."

"Blue Rain, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head decisively, without hesitation.

joke!

The Temple of Light paid tuition to come and study here.

Do you dare not release core secrets such as humanoid soul guide devices?
Then why bother finding a master?

"I apologize, Dean Hongchen. The Palace Master Guang has already found me a master. I'm just here at Mingde Hall to broaden my horizons."

as predicted.

Jing Hongchen felt a little regretful, but did not insist.

"Come, let me explain to you the construction idea of ​​this level eight melee soul tool."

"It is made primarily of deep-sea meteorite refined gold, with a surface coated with a dragon soul crystal layer specially developed by Mingde Hall, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a level 96 Super Douluo without deforming."
"The plan is to incorporate shape memory metal in a certain proportion, so that it can slowly self-repair as long as it doesn't break."

"The halberd is hollow and has twelve energy-storing soul-guiding arrays embedded in it. It uses Mingde Hall's unique compression technology and stores a total amount of soul power equivalent to that of six level 79 Soul Saints."

"It is also equipped with a separate soul guide bracelet, which is used to store this level 8 melee soul guide device on a regular basis, and can effectively slow down the dissipation of soul power in the energy storage soul guide array."

"In addition, there is a linked soul guidance array that can contact this level 8 melee soul guidance device within 10 kilometers. As long as its internal energy is not exhausted, it can automatically fly back."

"If the energy storage is exhausted, this soul guide bracelet can also detach from the main body and automatically search for an eighth-level melee soul guide device to serve as a temporary external energy source and fly back to find its owner."

Every time Jing Hongchen mentioned a function, he would take out the corresponding blueprint.

Its intricately designed structure left Huo Yuhao in awe.

Compared to Shrek Academy's "miracle work" approach, which uses the best materials and the best soul guidance arrays to create high-level soul guidance devices.

Mingdetang's soul guides tend to be "reasonably matched".

Take this level eight melee soul tool as an example.

Besides the most important core module, it uses a level nine soul guidance array and a set of level eight soul guidance arrays.

The rest are mostly level seven soul guidance arrays, with a few level four, five, and six soul guidance arrays also included.

Although this will reduce the power somewhat, lower-level soul guidance arrays take up less space and allow for faster soul power circulation.

With proper planning.

While achieving the same functionality, it can also inscribe more soul guidance arrays.

To achieve faster activation and greater power.

This is why, for the same soul tool, those produced by Mingdetang are of higher quality.

"Interesting." Huo Yuhao exclaimed, "I've acquired some soul tools from Mingdetang before, and they all had encrypted modules so I couldn't see their composition. I didn't realize that the combination below is so ingenious."

The so-called encryption module is an additional layer of soul lines that are added to the finished soul guidance array but do not affect the effect, yet are ineffective.

There is a specific order to inscribing the soul-guiding array; the same soul lines inscribed at different times will produce vastly different effects.

With the addition of a self-destruct module as a second layer of protection, Mingdetang's soul guide is extremely difficult to reverse engineer.

Huo Yuhao is different. His mental power can copy the internal soul guidance array along with useless soul lines through the self-contained module. He can directly paste it with one click without any order, and the finished product is the most perfect form.

But that's why.

Huo Yuhao could only copy the whole thing, unable to understand the underlying principles, let alone make any changes.

After Jing Hongchen's explanation today, I felt enlightened!
You can only learn real skills by going to the enemy's lair!
Jing Hongchen also looked smug.

"Mingdetang has stood at the top of the mainland for more than a hundred years, which naturally has its own profound heritage."

"The Temple of Light is also part of my Sun Moon Empire. From now on, you should study hard and not waste your talent as a Soul Master."

"Perhaps in the future your brother will take over the Temple of Light, and you will be able to take over the Hall of Bright Virtue."

"Hahaha--"

Huo Yuhao ignored Jing Hongchen's boasting and let his gaze wander over the design drawings.

I also took out a blank drawing and wrote down some requirements and parameters.

"Three meters and two inches is too long, two and a half meters is about right."

"Don't give me the memory metal. I can repair Brother Lan's soul tool while I'm here."

“These soul-guiding arrays that amplify power have all been removed. The utilization rate of soul power is definitely not as high as that of Brother Lan.”

Jing Hongchen looked at the more than twenty demands listed, each one challenging his nerves.

What a perfect plan it was! Now it's completely unbalanced!
They don't want the deep-sea meteorite gold that combines hardness and elasticity; they insist on the unyielding deep-sea meteorite iron mother.
Cutting off 70 centimeters of length will significantly reduce the space, requiring the removal of many soul-guiding arrays. Most of these arrays are interlocking and cannot be moved, so the energy-storing soul-guiding arrays will have to be dismantled.

Faced with Jing Hongchen's questioning, Huo Yuhao had only one answer—

"This is the most suitable weapon for Brother Lan."

Which level 8 soul tool is better, the Divine Artifact: Destroying the Origin? Or is the Super Divine Artifact: Ghost Carving Divine Blade better?

It was made to pass the second test of Poseidon; it's a one-time use weapon.

All I want is something that's easy to use; everything else is secondary.

this day.

Jing Hongchen, who hadn't been a client for many years, experienced the fear of being controlled by the client again!
In contrast.

As long as you submit your requirements, a bunch of high-level Soul Masters will rack their brains and revise the plan for you.

They will also carefully explain the modification ideas and the final product effect.

This allowed Huo Yuhao to learn at a rapid pace, with remarkable results.

For the "Fire of Joy" project made for Wang Dong'er, improvement ideas kept emerging.

They stayed there for a whole day and night.

Once the final product was finalized, Jing Hongchen directly pushed it out of the testing area.

"We'll take care of the rest of the construction."

Huo Yuhao was about to say something when Jing Hongchen cut him off with a single sentence.

"You're still young, go back and get some rest."

Without saying a word, they slammed the door shut.

He exchanged glances with the other Soul Masters, all still feeling lingering fear.

"Is this little kid a walking encyclopedia of questions? How can he ask so many questions!"

"But since he comes from the Temple of Light, we dare not offend him."

"I feel like I'm being drained dry."

"Stop talking, after I finish crafting this soul tool, I need to sleep for three days and three nights!"

"Dean Hongchen, please fetch the materials!"

After only a few minutes of silence, Jing Hongchen slowly raised her head.

Oops!

I was so annoyed by this blue rain that I kept chasing people away and forgot to let him take the materials list with him!

But he just said he wouldn't need the rest, and now he's going to chase after them again.
I glanced at the list of items again.

The most precious deep-sea meteorite mother is only an eighth-grade rare metal, and Mingdetang also has the rest in stock.

Forget it.

I'll just pay for it myself, just to have some peace and quiet.

Outside the test zone.

Huo Yuhao waited for several minutes, but Jing Hongchen did not open the door or hand over the materials.

What do you mean?
Do I have to pay for it myself?

Lin Jiayi did arrive, his chubby face beaming with smiles.

"Lan Yu, Xuan Ziwen has already made arrangements."

"Would you like to go back and rest now, or..."

"Take me there," Huo Yuhao said energetically. "My mind is full of knowledge right now, and I desperately need a master to guide me."

Lin Jiayi looked quite surprised.

Are you working that hard?

"Alright, Lan Yu, please come with me."

Lin Jiayi led the way, while also making introductions.

"This Xuan Ziwen is originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire, but his martial soul talent is not good. He was taken in as a disciple by our Dean Kong Deming, which is why he was brought to Mingde Hall."

"He has a rather eccentric personality and hasn't taken on many disciples yet. He usually prefers to do his own research, but it's all low-level soul tools."

"They say it's a civilian soul tool, and that's true."

"If you want to learn about advanced soul tools, I recommend that you change your mentor."

Huo Yuhao listened with a smile the whole time, becoming more and more satisfied with what he heard.

He was single-minded in his research, sought no harm, only wanted to benefit the people, and had a stubborn personality.

No wonder Brother Lan specifically asked to poach this person; having him would definitely benefit more ordinary people.

what is this?
This is all the power of faith, all the luck!

Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he wouldn't be able to change his tutor!!!
