Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

Indeed, this applies to both him and Tang Shenwang.

They all tried to do the same thing: to obstruct so-called unification.

However, Tang Shenwang did this not only because of personal grudges, but also to protect the rights and interests of the absolute nobility and sects.

In his previous life, he did it to maintain Shrek Academy's transcendent status.

Even Tang Shenwang briefly descended to the mortal realm.

But so what? As time passed, they were eventually unified.

The Sun and Moon Empire changed its name to the Sun and Moon Federation.

After completely unifying the continent, even if the other two great empires subsequently discovered new continents.

However, it still considers itself as a federal entity.

How long was this delay? More than 20,000 years.

What seems like a very long process is, in retrospect, just a fleeting moment in the overall history since the birth of Soul Masters.

After hearing these words, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.

"Well said. The major events of the times are ultimately beyond the control of any individual. Even the legendary figure who once possessed two gods could only temporarily halt this process."

"When will you be able to mass-produce this soul tool?"

After his sense of national and familial sentiments gradually became clearer, Xiao Yan naturally began to care about what mattered most to him.

He knew very well that Huo Yuhao's so-called soul tool would completely overturn the course of history.

Xiao Yan even imagined that even a blacksmith at his peak might be vulnerable if he relied on hidden weapons.

Ultimately, however, concealed weapons are only military weapons.

Furthermore, even when one is on guard, the effect of hidden weapons is limited, but that allowed the blacksmith to reach his peak. Soul tools are a completely different story.

Once it appears, it will absolutely attract attention, and its effects will persist regardless of whether you are on guard or not. The fact that this one Soul Venerable can unleash the battle power of a Soul Emperor is enough to overturn everything in the future.

Moreover, even after unification, this kind of thing might still spread completely across the mainland.

It is an indispensable item for defending a city or dealing with soul beasts.

The blacksmiths' association might even reach an unprecedented peak under his leadership.

Just thinking about it made Xiao Yan excited.

When Huo Yuhao brought up the matter, he fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, although Huo Yuhao had a clear understanding, the unification of this era was imminent.

However, to be fair, he didn't want to see it so soon, or rather, he didn't want to speed up this so-called process.

Because he still needs time to develop.

Once the era of war arrives, it will be difficult to cultivate in a stable manner.

More importantly, those evil spirit masters might also be able to set foot on the mainland ahead of schedule again.

They used their advantage in war to reap the souls of the dead, becoming even more powerful.

My own situation at that time would have become precarious, given that Kong Deming was in seclusion.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao does not want it to appear so soon.

After a brief hesitation, Huo Yuhao chuckled and spoke.

“Uncle Xiao, some things can’t be done so quickly. I’ve already put a lot of effort into writing this blueprint. It will take a lot of time to put it into practical use, or even to get it to the initial driving stage.”

"But we've already waited so long, what's a little more time?"

Xiao Yan wasn't stupid. After hearing Huo Yuhao's reluctance in his words, he didn't urge him. He just nodded.

He didn't stay there long after that.

Xiao Yan seemed not to mention anything about this soul tool at all during the entire process.

Because this item was ultimately brought out by Huo Yuhao, who came from the Sun and Moon.

This can probably only be delayed for one or two years, which is probably the limit.

They were bound to make their debut sooner or later. Just like the Blacksmiths' Association, which has already endured so much darkness, it's no big deal to wait a few more years after seeing hope.

Upon returning to the clan, Xiao Yan's changed attitude towards Huo Yuhao shocked most people. After all, how could Xiao Yan, as the patriarch of the Xiao clan and vice president of the Blacksmith Association, treat a Soul Master with such an attitude?

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, although she and Huo Yuhao hadn't reached that stage yet, she still felt a kind of inexplicable joy when she saw that her father and Huo Yuhao didn't have any conflicts.

After that, Xiao Xiao followed Huo Yuhao on the road back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Before this, the Xiao clan was in an uproar. After all, in their view, Xiao Xiao had already returned, and as the eldest daughter of the Xiao clan, she had gone back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

what is this?

In the end, Xiao Yan withstood all this pressure alone.

He couldn't help but sigh as he watched the two figures leave.

He knew his girl too well; it was the first time she brought a boy to his house, and he noticed all the subtle changes in her expression.

He could sense that Xiao Xiao might have developed feelings for Huo Yuhao, but the two were still young.

Huo Yuhao is being very honest right now, which at least shows that the two of them haven't even reached the point of being ambiguous yet.

He didn't mention it, but deep down, he couldn't help but ask himself: if he really had to choose a place to settle down with, who would he choose?

Perhaps Huo Yuhao in front of her would be a good choice for Xiao Xiao?

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

It was also because of Huo Yuhao's request that Xiao Xiao kept silent about the mecha after returning to the academy.

Huo Yuhao, who had just returned to the academy, once again came to Jing Hongchen's office because of that blueprint.

However, Jing Hongchen looked rather disheveled at this moment.

Regardless of whether she is usually overweight or has a so-called elite image.

Overall, though, they were still meticulous.

But the grime on his face and the bloodshot eyes clearly showed that he seemed to have abandoned those things.

And right from the start, he couldn't help but grab Huo Yuhao's shoulder and press him for answers.

"Yuhao, about this blueprint? No, about this soul tool, what was the final result of your attempts?"

Faced with Jing Hongchen's excited attitude, Huo Yuhao hesitated briefly, or rather, his hesitation didn't last long at all.

He shook his head, feigning bitterness.

"Master, despite my ideas, after numerous unsuccessful attempts, I'm starting to doubt whether it's even feasible to create. Or perhaps I'm going in the wrong direction?"

After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Jing Hongchen stared at Huo Yuhao intently, seemingly believing in the young man who could create miracles, or perhaps he was hiding something from her.

After a long pause, he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

Even I myself am unable to replicate the so-called mecha soul tool in this blueprint.

Even Huo Yuhao, the creator, is currently only a level 5 Soul Master at best. The fact that he was able to write it is already a remarkable achievement.

Jing Hongchen returned to his desk, rubbed his temples, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Alright, you can go down now."

Chapter 118 Entrustment, Kong Deming Goes into Seclusion

The reason there was no doubt is quite simple.

Jing Hongchen has been busy studying this mecha blueprint all this time.

Although he had learned of Huo Yuhao's departure, he hadn't investigated further because Huo Yuhao hadn't betrayed his trust last time. This time, when Huo Yuhao returned, Jing Hongchen knew that it would be virtually impossible for Huo Yuhao to successfully create something of almost epoch-making significance.

However, I still hold onto a sliver of hope.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with its architecture?"

A resolute glint flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes as she talked to herself.

They then arrived at the Hall of Worship belonging to the Sun and Moon Empire and handed over the mecha blueprints.

Kong Deming, who was originally preparing to go into seclusion, was even a sensation.

The reason is simple: the value of this mecha blueprint is simply too terrifying.

It truly broke the existing underlying structure of the soul guide.

How could one not be shocked under such circumstances?

Kong Deming is the one who comes closest to the tenth level.

After reading it, he slowly spoke to Jing Hongchen.

"Did Yuhao really create these blueprints?"

"That's good, but although Yuhao has done this, he is still young, and there may be some unrealistic ideas in some aspects?"

There was no way around it. Jing Hongchen was the head of the Mingde Hall and a highly accomplished ninth-level soul master. He couldn't possibly admit that he didn't understand it or that he couldn't make it.

After all, this mecha, in terms of combat power assessment, is at most equivalent to a level six or even a level seven soul tool, yet he, a level nine soul tool master, cannot create it. This is simply a fantasy.

However, Kong Deming's reply made Jing Hongchen gasp in shock.

"This change to the underlying architecture is bold enough and reasonable. It's not a problem with the blueprints, but rather that the selection of metal materials and the soul guide core may have very high requirements for the metals needed."

Kong Deming is undoubtedly the closest to becoming a level 10 Soul Master, and may even become one in the future.

In just a few glances, he immediately grasped the key to the mecha blueprints.

"However, if the metal is too hard, it may not be flexible enough."

Jing Hongchen had already made related attempts, so even with Kong Deming's guidance, she still boldly put forward her own opinions.

"Hmm, it might not be something that can be made from a single metal mixture. It might require a shell made from a mixture of multiple metals, along with the reconstruction of the underlying architecture of its soul guide core."

"This is a problem that needs to be changed by ingrained thinking."
