Douluo Continent: Original Body Huo Yuhao

"Child, would you like to take a walk with me?"

Seeing that everyone else had left, Mu En called out to Huo Yuhao.

"Um."

Zhang Lexuan pushed Mu En, while Gu Yuena and Gu Qiu'er followed behind Huo Yuhao as the five of them strolled slowly along the shore of Sea God Lake.

After a while, Moon spoke:

"Child, what is your opinion of Shrek Academy?"

"I don't know much about it, so I won't comment. But it seems there are quite a few problems these days."

Huo Yuhao spoke frankly, and he wasn't lying; he had indeed been very busy these past two months. He even attended classes while simultaneously reading books borrowed from the library—multitasking wasn't difficult for him. He had also taught others, but whether they could learn them in this short time was not his concern.

"It's not just that there are many problems. Last night I looked through the college's archives from the past few years, and I realized just how much corruption and filth was hidden beneath the college's glamorous facade."

"I don't have many years left to live. I had already made arrangements for my funeral, but now it seems I can't die yet."

"I'm scared. My original choice for the next successor—Xuanzi—is completely unreliable. Lexuan is a good child, but time is running out."

"Soul tools are definitely the future trend, so I support the Soul Guidance Department. But the Martial Soul Department looks down on soul tools, especially Xuanzi and my disciple Yan Shaozhe."

"After I die, the Soul Guidance Department will definitely be suppressed to death by them. They will never realize this. With these people in power, what will become of the academy's future!"

"I've also learned about your views on soul tools. It's incredible that you could even think of the connection between soul tools and soul master skills."

"The knowledge you're sharing is more about explaining concepts like Martial Soul and Soul Master."

"Can you tell me what kind of developments will occur in soul tools in the future?"

After a moment of contemplation, Huo Yuhao slowly spoke:

"Democratization and integration into daily life are inevitable, and this will change the way ordinary people live. You know what the consequences will be, right? Of course, this is progress, and no one can stop it."

"In terms of combat, soul tools will greatly enhance the combat power of soul masters. Soul tool armor is a trend, with soul masters wearing soul tools and various weapons and equipment that can be installed on them. This will be a fatal blow to traditional soul masters. The gap between higher levels will be eliminated."

"Large-scale war soul tools will appear, rewriting the traditional mode of warfare. It will take countless lives to destroy one, while the opponent will only lose some soul tools."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, but continued:

"The spirit rings of a spirit master after death can also be recycled and reused."

Everyone stopped in their tracks. They all understood, especially Gu Yuena—why were they retrieving the spirit rings? Because there were no more spirit beasts to kill. But she glanced at Huo Yuhao; thankfully, he was there!

Mu En was the same; he had infiltrated the Sun Moon Empire and knew very well that they had developed a soul tool that could threaten him.

"How long will this take?"

"It's hard to judge. The development of soul tools is still in the imitation stage, with little theoretical foundation." As someone living in a rational age, Huo Yuhao really wanted to complain about Douluo Star, which was developing technology while also playing the feudal game. How slow would its development be, just like some of the primitive technological planets in the Empire?

"That's actually normal," Huo Yuhao thought for a moment. To develop theories, one needs at least enough to eat, but those in Douluo Continent who could afford to eat were all chasing after power.

Theoretical foundation! A glint of light flashed in Moon's eyes. Wasn't the knowledge Huo Yuhao was talking about the theoretical foundation? Judging from Huo Yuhao's words, with a theory in place, the development of soul tools would be extremely rapid!

Then, looking earnestly at Huo Yuhao, he said, "I want to live another 20 years. Can you do that? No matter the cost!"

Seeing the old man's stubborn expression, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but become solemn. This old man truly wanted to protect this academy, and such a person deserved respect.

"Can."

Moon breathed a sigh of relief. It worked! And he didn't even ask what was wrong with my body.

"Let me examine your physical condition first. Do not resist my mental power."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao put his hand on Mu En's shoulder. He quickly learned about Mu En's condition.

"The main problem is a back injury. My spine was broken and didn't heal properly; it became necrotic, and some of the nerves in that area also died. There's an energy core in my abdomen that sustains my body, but it exudes a fierce aura."

"You should have had several more decades to live; just get cured."

"What should we do?"

"Remove the necrotic spine and replace it with a healthy one. Give me a drop of your blood, and I'll clone a normal spine. The nerves can also be rebuilt. The problem is that energy core."

"That was a dragon pill I obtained when I was young."

"I can help," Gu Yuena said. "I have a Silver Dragon Martial Soul, which can help suppress the malevolent energy."

"But what about your cultivation level?" Mu En asked doubtfully.

"I have a way to temporarily increase the pressure of a martial soul," Gu Yuena casually made up a reason. Anyway, it wouldn't require revealing much; it was just an inanimate object, and besides, the old man would suppress it as well.

Thinking of Huo Yuhao's miraculous abilities, Mu En did not doubt what Gu Yuena had said.

"However, I have one condition: that dragon pill must be useful to me."

"Can."

Originally, Mu En intended to give it to Bei Bei to help him evolve his martial soul into the Holy Light Dragon. But now, with the knowledge imparted by Huo Yuhao, perhaps the dragon core is no longer necessary.

"This will require some preparation time, about a month."

"A month is a month, the old man can wait."

As if remembering something, Mu En continued, "To get to the inner courtyard library, you have to cross Sea God Lake. But there's no boat. Let Le Xuan take you there later. She's your homeroom teacher, so it'll be convenient for her."

What does this old man mean?! Gu Yuena and Gu Qiu'er were immediately displeased. "Believe it or not, I'll add something else to your body."

"No need." Huo Yuhao didn't think much of it. He walked to the lake and stood steadily on the water.

"Haha, I underestimated you. Alright then." Moon didn't show any emotion.

The group quickly parted ways. Mu En looked at Huo Yuhao and the other two, then at Zhang Lexuan behind him.

What's your opinion of Huo Yuhao?

"A very intelligent person with many ideas and a wealth of knowledge."

Mu En was helpless. Yes, he had intended to matchmake Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao. Although Lexuan was almost twelve years older than Huo Yuhao, a Soul Master didn't care about that. If they got together, he could simply let Huo Yuhao become the head of the academy.

More importantly, this kid isn't exactly a faithful person. Didn't you see he already has a couple by his side? Those two are practically at their limit!

And that little girl named Wang Dong, Mu En didn't believe Huo Yuhao hadn't noticed, but the two of them didn't seem to know each other well.

As for Beibei, let me explain a few things to him. It's not that I don't want to get involved in the Tang Clan's affairs, but there's an imperial decree that the Tang Clan will definitely rise again in this era.
