Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

After arriving at Mo Yuan's office, Huo Yuhao first mentioned his plan to buy a house in Donghai City so that he could invite some outstanding disciples with whom he had a good relationship to settle down and develop there.

This is one of the reasons why Huo Yuhao came to the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City at the beginning, went directly to the branch tower master Mo Yuan, and revealed his false identity as the "Spirit Ice Envoy".

After all, he didn't come to this era alone from across ten thousand years. If he had other family members with him, then he would also need to find a reasonable explanation for their origins.

After listening to Huo Yuhao's words, Mo Yuan asked curiously:

"I wonder... how talented are Huo's friends?"

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment before answering Mo Yuan's question:

"Most of them have innate soul power of level seven or eight or above, and their martial soul quality is no less than mine. Some of them may even have innate full soul power like me."

Once they arrive, I will have them join the Spirit Pagoda for development. At that time, I will need your guidance, Master, regarding matters such as protecting their identities.

Then, Mo Yuan was dumbfounded:

"You mean... there are several other exceptionally talented individuals like you who are willing to join my East Sea City Spirit Pagoda?"

"Yes, teacher."

Immediately afterward, before Huo Yuhao could even make any request, an overjoyed Mo Xuan waved his hand and transferred ten million Federal Dollars into Huo Yuhao's Sun Moon Bank savings card:

"Young Huo, with this much money, you can buy any property in Donghai City! If that's not enough, just tell me!"

"Don't worry, let them come. I, the branch tower master, will definitely not mistreat them!"

After discussing this most important matter, Huo Yuhao then proposed to Mo Yuan that he intended to simultaneously learn about forging, mecha, and battle armor.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's request, Mo Yuan was stunned, wondering if he had misheard something.

"Student Huo, soul power cultivation is fundamental and requires your full dedication. If you also have to devote yourself to studying so many secondary professions... I'm afraid you'll find it difficult to keep up. In my opinion, wouldn't it be more appropriate to focus on one secondary profession and just learn about the others?"

He's already put it very nicely; after all, this is common sense.

Ten thousand years ago, when soul guidance technology was still in its early stages of development, it was extremely difficult to become both a top-tier soul master and a top-tier soul guide at the same time.

Moreover, it's already ten thousand years from now.

This is similar to how a 21st-century engineering student would find it difficult to be proficient in several distinct engineering fields, such as mechanics, electrical engineering, and energy and power.

No matter how gifted someone is, if they learn too many things in a wide variety of ways, the most likely outcome is that they won't understand anything at all.

Huo Yuhao naturally understood this principle, but he was well aware of the limits of his energy.

Before coming here, Huo Yuhao had learned a little about the general information of current combat-type soul guidance technologies such as mechs and battle armor.

It can be said that, based on the revolutionary changes he made to soul guidance technology ten thousand years ago, the current mechs and battle armor are quite different from the original works.

For example, thanks to the powerful and stable fusion power provided by the micro-source core, modern mechs have become much less dependent on the soul power of their operators, allowing ordinary people and low-level soul masters to control heavy equipment that used to require high-level soul masters to drive.

Furthermore, the maturity of the soul energy fusion technology allows souls to deeply integrate with specific components of battle armor, becoming "weapon spirits" that endow them with spirituality and special abilities, thereby completely changing the growth mode and application limit of battle armor.

More importantly, the underlying logic and core framework of today's highly developed soul-guided technology system are precisely derived from the technical blueprint and theoretical foundation he personally drew ten thousand years ago.

Therefore, for Huo Yuhao, a level 10 Soul Master who once stood at the pinnacle of Soul Guidance theory, understanding and mastering these branches of technological development in later generations was completely without difficulty.

In this way, it was only natural for him to master multiple related fields at the same time.

Finally, under Huo Yuhao's insistence, Mo Yuan had no choice but to agree to his request and prepared to find someone from the East Sea City Blacksmith Association and Mecha Master Association to be his teacher.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to leave the branch tower master's office, Mo Yuan suddenly remembered something and called him back:

"Wait, Huo, I almost forgot to ask... what have you gained from your three weeks of seclusion?"

Upon hearing Mo Yuan's question, Huo Yuhao stopped in his tracks and, without much hesitation, turned around and frankly replied, "I'm level twenty-two, teacher."

"Oh, it's nothing... Wait a minute!?" Mo Yuan stared at Huo Yuhao, who remained calm, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. "Huo, you're already a Great Soul Master?!"

Huo Yuhao nodded calmly, his expression serene.

Mo Yuan's astonishment quickly turned into disbelief. He instinctively leaned forward, his voice rising in urgency:

"Wait a minute... Huo, you've only been awakening your martial soul for a month, right? This cultivation speed... is just too astonishing!"

Could it be... could it be that he was upgraded by taking those three Soul-Elevating Pills I gave him?

"No. I plan to save those Soul Ascension Pills until I reach level 30, teacher."

Huo Yuhao answered without the slightest hesitation. He had no intention of hiding anything from this tower master who knew his false identity as the "Spirit Ice Envoy".

Mo Yuan stood there, speechless for a moment.

He slowly sat back in his chair, but his gaze remained fixed on Huo Yuhao, as if he wanted to re-examine this young disciple.

In just one month, he went from having full innate soul power to becoming a level 22 Great Soul Master—this is beyond what can be described as mere "gift of talent"; it's like a legend coming to life.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and realized that he might have greatly underestimated the depth and potential represented by the "Spirit Ice Envoy" lineage.

At this moment, a flash of understanding crossed Mo Yuan's eyes. He abruptly stood up from his seat, his gaze fixed intently on Huo Yuhao, his tone filled with barely suppressed excitement and curiosity:

"Student Huo, if it's convenient for you right now, could you come with me to test your current mental strength level? I didn't get to test it when my martial soul awakened, and I'm really itching to do it... With your cultivation speed, your mental strength growth must be equally astonishing, right?"

"No problem," Huo Yuhao readily agreed.

……

As the branch tower master of the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City, Mo Yuan has seen many geniuses—from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Federation military, various Soul Master families, and some hidden sects…

With the talent of these geniuses from all over the continent, any one of them would be someone that would make Mo Yuan, a titled Douluo, extremely envious.

However, Huo Yuhao's appearance was like a silent thunderclap, shattering all his past definitions and imaginations of "genius":

"The test results are... a mental strength score of 457 points, peak of the Spirit Realm..."

The soul-guided instruments in the testing room flickered with a steady light, but Mo Yuan seemed to have lost the ability to understand that string of numbers.

His eyes were fixed, his lips moved slightly, and he almost unconsciously repeated the cold data on the screen.

At that moment, a phrase he had heard somewhere before, tinged with a mix of mockery and arrogance, inexplicably flashed through his mind.

Using this phrase to describe the incredible test results before us is so apt:

"I've met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius."
