Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

"Oh? What insightful opinion does Professor Xuan have?" Jing Hongchen showed sufficient respect to the chief researcher of Mingdetang.

Xuan Ziwen said, "I think the quality of artificial soul bones is really too poor. Instead of giving Yuhao an artificial soul bone, it would be better to give him a ten-thousand-year soul bone that can enhance Yuhao's soul skills. This way, Yuhao's potential can be better brought out."

The method of making artificial soul bones is very simple. Take the secret method soul bone as an example. Just find one hundred identical soul beasts, kill them all within an hour, and then use the secret method to guide them. There is a 10% chance of obtaining a soul bone.

This kind of soul bone is indeed of very poor quality, but the chance of obtaining it is much higher than that of other soul bones, and it also has the characteristic of fusion.

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone that enhances Yuhao's soul skills?" Jing Hongchen said helplessly. "A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is fine, but the soul skill attached to the soul bone can enhance the sharing of mental detection. This requirement is too difficult to achieve."

"Yuhao is a thoughtful child, and his soul skills have undergone a qualitative change. He will surely become a powerful soul master in the future and should receive strong support from the academy."

If his first soul skill, Spiritual Detection Sharing, can be further enhanced by the soul skills attached to his soul bone, then Yuhao will be the God of War!

"If we were to specially manufacture some long-range, fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells for him, Yuhao might be able to stand in Mingdu, directly aim at the Star Dou Great Forest, and launch those shells to bombard the entire forest!"

Xuan Ziwen's face lit up with excitement. He didn't have any problem with the Star Dou Great Forest; he just thought that such soul-guided cannonballs would be very interesting.

Huo Yuhao was stunned, thinking to himself, "What kind of intercontinental ballistic missile theory is this!"

However, given the technology level of the native inhabitants of Dou Er, they probably couldn't develop something with such a long range! Even if they could, their detection range wouldn't be enough; the distance between Xingluo City and Mingdu is simply too great!

Teacher Xuan truly lives up to his reputation as the man who co-created the Ice Extreme War God Armor with Huo Gua; he has brilliant ideas!

However, where can we find such a strange soul bone that can enhance the range of one's first soul skill? We can't just mold Mo Xuan of Shrek Academy into a 100,000-year-old soul beast and then let Mo Xuan explode his soul bone!

"That seems to make sense... Right, Yuhao is only a one-ring Soul Master, yet his detection range is already 1,200 meters. What if he were a Title Douluo?"

Moreover, he can share this soul skill with others. Hiss, perhaps Yuhao can take the Soul Master Corps to another level. Several Soul Master Corps with extremely long range and high accuracy—just thinking about it is terrifying. At this moment, Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen's brainwaves clashed.

Although he felt that launching cannonballs from Mingdu and then precisely striking the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was indeed a bit far-fetched, it might actually be a path suitable for Huo Yuhao.

"However, a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, and the soul skill it comes with enhances the soul master's existing soul skills..." Jing Hongchen suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He felt that such soul bones were hard to find, perhaps only in the royal treasury. However, the chances of getting His Majesty to agree to let him enter the treasury to search for soul bones were actually very small.

So he looked at Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, what do you think?"

Huo Yuhao's expression shifted slightly: "I find Teacher Xuan's idea very interesting, so I have an idea to extend the range of fixed-mount soul-guided projectiles. I call this idea—a jet engine!"

"Jet engine?" Jing Hongchen was a little confused.

Xuan Ziwen, who was standing to the side, didn't understand either, but that didn't stop him from looking forward to Huo Yuhao's idea.

So Huo Yuhao explained to them the working principle of a jet engine in the Douluo Continent version. Anyway, in the Tang Family Continent, soul power is a universal energy source, so soul power can be used to replace the fuel in the engine. As for the steps of the engine operation, they are all left to the core magic array.

He believed that as long as the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire were willing to put in the effort, they should be able to develop a Douluo-style jet engine, thereby extending the range of fixed-mount Soul Guidance Projectiles.

"I see. That is indeed a good idea. Yuhao, you are a born soul master." Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration. "I think one of the difficulties is how to store soul power. It seems I need to make the sealed milk bottle as soon as possible. Maybe if I continue to research like this, I can really fire fixed soul-guided cannons from Mingdu to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Yuhao, I will report to Elder Kong and ask him to assign some Soul Masters to study the jet engine. I will also explain the Soul Bone issue that Teacher Xuan mentioned to Elder Kong."

Jing Hongchen also realized the strategic significance of this jet engine. Whether the fixed-mount soul-guided shells could hit accurately was one thing, and how far they could hit was another. One must take things one step at a time. First, solve the range problem, and then study the accuracy problem.

"Of course, I won't forget to give you your reward either. Although that artificial soul bone is of low quality, you can consider selling it to exchange for rare metals." Jing Hongchen immediately gave Huo Yuhao all the promised rewards.

Among these rewards, the so-called artificial soul bone is the right leg bone of the arcane soul, while the 400,000 gold soul coins are issued in the form of universal cards.

As for the rare metal worth 100,000 gold soul coins that you receive every month, it's actually just the size of five or six tables, and it's perfect for making first-level and second-level soul tools.

.......

Spirit world.

Tang San stood on a cloud with his hands behind his back, his face somewhat gloomy. "Who exactly is interfering with my plans? Xiao Qi has already enrolled, but we haven't met that rising star yet. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case."

"What exactly went wrong? Anyone who could interfere with my plans must at least possess the strength of a God-King. Otherwise, as the God of Asura and the God of the Sea, I could not possibly have been completely unaware!"

"Could it be a forbidden land of gods? Or the one that destroyed him? Or perhaps the two great god-kings, one of good and one of evil?"

Tang San had many suspects, and he felt that the person most likely to hinder him was the God of Destruction.

After all, that guy in the Forbidden Land of Gods has always been sealed away, and the two great god-kings of good and evil have always had a good relationship with me, otherwise they wouldn't have entrusted me with the central control of the divine realm.

However, it is precisely because he controls the central hub of the divine realm that the God of Destruction has always been at odds with him. The other party's ideology leans towards expanding the divine realm, while his own ideology leans towards conservatism.

Chapter 27 Oranges: The Taste of Dad

Thinking of this, his face grew even uglier. "Hmph, destruction, it's definitely you! How dare you interfere with my plans! You've already met your end!"

"Unfortunately, this isn't Douluo Continent, but the God Realm. Even if the gods of the God Realm have a conflict and one wins, they are generally not allowed to kill the other."

The number of divine positions in the God Realm is limited. Unless the God Realm is expanded, the number of divine positions will not increase in most cases. Therefore, after Tang San prevented the Angel God and Rakshasa God from returning to the God Realm, some gods in the God Realm privately had some complaints about Tang San.

After all, both of these divine positions are first-level divine positions, and there are not many first-level divine positions in the divine realm.

"Fine, let Da Ming take Xiao Qi around Douluo Continent, and let Er Ming continue to guard Haotian Sect. I must find this rising star, put him through all sorts of trials, and eventually make him my son-in-law to work for me!" Tang San made up his mind.

After all, he had already made arrangements for the Valley of Love and Destiny, how could he not use it? Wouldn't it be a waste not to?

The realm of gods, a forbidden land for the gods.

A man wearing a large purple cloak slowly walked out. Two red lights flickered beneath the cloak. He glanced at Tang San in the distant clouds, then slowly looked away.

......

Sun and Moon Palace.

After listening to Jing Hongchen's report, Kong Deming smiled faintly. "That's right, Huo Yuhao's idea of ​​a jet engine is indeed very good. He is a genius in the field of soul tools."

Moreover, given his young age, he already possesses such powerful soul skills. Even with his congenital deficiencies, we must make him a Title Douluo, no matter the cost!

"Elder Kong, about the soul bone." Jing Hongchen looked at Kong Deming with some nervousness. In the Sun Moon Empire, Kong Deming had extremely high prestige. After all, most of the living ninth-level soul masters had been guided by this Elder Kong to some extent.

“The matter of soul bones is very troublesome. You have given me a big problem.” Kong Deming sighed. “In all my years, I have never heard of soul bones with attached soul skills that can enhance a soul master’s existing soul skills. Even in the royal treasury, there are no such soul bones.”

"I will instruct others to keep an eye out, and if any soul bones with similar effects are found, they will be given to Huo Yuhao immediately," Kong Deming said calmly.

........

the next day.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

In a lawn.

Huo Yuhao set up a rack and skewered the fresh fish one by one. He looked at the oranges next to him and asked, "Senior, how many fish would you like to eat?"

As per his agreement with Ju Zi, Ju Zi lent him money to solve his predicament, and he was to treat Ju Zi to a meal three days later. Now that the three days have passed, he has not only repaid Ju Zi 240,000 gold soul coins, but also set up a grill, ready to show her his grilled fish skills.

"How many do you want? Let's start with one. After all, if your grilling skills aren't up to par, I'll take over to prevent these fish from going to waste. As a chef, the thing I can't stand the most is wasting food," Orange said with a smile.

Huo Yuhao smiled without saying anything, and then started grilling the fish. Of course, he didn't just grill one fish, after all, he hadn't eaten yet and needed to eat something.

After a while, the grilled fish was ready. Huo Yuhao sprinkled on the seasoning, then looked up at Ju Zi and asked, "Senior, the grilled fish is done. Do you want some?"

"Hmm." Orange nodded, picked up a skewer of grilled fish, and started eating. At first, she was a little dismissive, but after chewing the first bite of fish, her expression changed.

"This taste..."

Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily, and her vision became blurry for a moment. She ate the fish in large mouthfuls, and tears silently slid down her face.

"Senior, why are you crying? Did I put in too much spice in the seasoning?" Huo Yuhao asked with a surprised expression.

"No, it's not spicy, not spicy at all." Orange's voice choked with emotion, and her gaze towards Huo Yuhao changed. "Your cooking is really good. You made me feel the taste of my father's cooking. My father is the best chef in town..."

Ju Zi began to recount her unknown past, while Huo Yuhao listened attentively. Of course, as a transmigrator, he already knew about Ju Zi's background. Ju Zi's father had died at the hands of Dai Hao's Star Luo army, and her mother had fallen seriously ill after her father's death and soon passed away as well.

That's why Ju Zi hated Dai Hao so much and had the idea of ​​annexing the Star Luo Empire. Then Dai Hao was beaten badly on the battlefield and almost lost his country.

"Thank you, Yuhao. I haven't eaten Dad's cooking for many years. Your cooking tastes just like Dad's..." Ju Zi's gaze softened as she looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao knew that Ju Zi's attitude towards him had changed significantly. After all, a big reason why Ju Zi fell in love with Huo Yuhao in the original novel was that the food Huo Yuhao made reminded her of her father's cooking.

"Senior Sister Orange, actually I'm also an orphan..." Huo Yuhao began to use similar experiences to tease Orange. Of course, he did not reveal his identity as the son of the White Tiger Duke. In fact, in the original novel, Huo Yuhao was indeed an orphan at this time.

After all, Huo Yun'er, the only person who loved Huo Gua, had passed away, and Dai Hao didn't even know that he and Huo Yun'er had a child, so naturally he never gave Huo Gua any fatherly love.

Some people are alive, but they are practically dead; this is actually a description of Dai Hao.

"So that's how it is. You must have had a tough time these past years. I'm an orphan, just like you."

After hearing Huo Yuhao's story, Ju Zi felt a pang of sympathy for him, and her gaze towards him softened, almost to the point of overflowing tenderness.

"Senior Orange, would you like some more grilled fish? I grilled extra for you." Huo Yuhao smiled gently as he handed over a skewer of grilled fish.

"Ok!"

Just as Ju Zi was about to take the grilled fish, a female voice came, "Hey? Huo Yuhao, what are you doing here?"

"Senior Meng! What brings you here?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Meng Hongchen not far away with some surprise.

"I just finished class and I'm about to go out for a walk."

Meng Hongchen walked over quickly, her gaze shifting back and forth between Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao. When she saw the tear stains on Ju Zi's face and her slightly red eyes, she immediately imagined a series of tragic scenes in her mind. So she couldn't help but ask, "Huo Yuhao, what did you do to Ju Zi?"

Because it was shortly after class ended, there were actually quite a few students nearby. Meng Hongchen was a famous genius and beauty, the dean's granddaughter, and had an annoying older brother, so Meng Hongchen was undoubtedly a prominent figure in the academy.

Therefore, when Meng Hongchen walked towards Huo Yuhao's side, many people's eyes followed Meng Hongchen's figure.

Meng Hongchen's shout immediately piqued the interest of the nearby students; after all, it's human nature to gossip.

"Huo Yuhao... I've heard of him. Isn't he the genius who broke Xiao Hongchen's record? I heard that Teacher Xuan Ziwen and the Dean value him highly."

Chapter 28 The Dispute Over Grilled Fish

"Hehe, I heard that Xiao Hongchen started studying diligently for the fifth-level Soul Master course after Huo Yuhao broke his record. I saw Xiao Hongchen at the library last time..."

For the students present, Huo Yuhao was a boy who naturally attracted attention, not only because he broke the record, but also because he made Xiao Hongchen suffer a setback.

In the academy, Xiao Hongchen was indeed a genius. However, he was too arrogant and always acted as if he was the best in the world and everyone else was trash. As a result, he did not handle interpersonal relationships well. Therefore, some people naturally hoped to see him suffer a little setback and thus dampen his arrogance.

As for Ju Zi, because she is good-looking, is a disciple of Xuan Ziwen, the chief researcher of Mingde Hall, and has a big sycophant named Zi Mu around her all day long, Ju Zi is also very famous in the academy.

But when everyone saw Ju Zi's teary eyes and red eyes, and then connected it with what Meng Hongchen had just said, everyone's gaze towards Huo Yuhao gradually became strange.

"I didn't expect Huo Yuhao to hook up with Senior Ju Zi at such a young age. Is this a case of a young bull eating old grass?"

"What exactly did Huo Yuhao do to make Senior Sister Ju cry? Could it be that Huo Yuhao had a romantic relationship with Senior Sister Ju before, and now he's going to abandon her?"

These students were generally quite young, and were in the stage of life where their curiosity was at its peak, so they immediately engaged in a heated discussion.

Listening to these rumors, Huo Yuhao felt helpless. He thought to himself that if this continued, he would be branded as a scumbag from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and he would be unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. After all, the saying "three men make a tiger" could still happen even in this world.
