Douluo: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 53: Bolt Gun - Buddha's Wrath Lotus Version
Huo Yuhao had finished weaving the things that the Hongchen brothers and sisters liked to see. The room next to Meng Hongchen was also ready and could be occupied at any time.

"Yuhao, the academy will provide everything on this list of materials for free. Of course, if you need anything else, just tell me directly."

Xu Sheng handed Huo Yuhao a storage soul guide device, which contained instructions for the basic core magic array, introductory information for soul guides, and a certain amount of various metals.

"The various assessments of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy are relatively flexible."

"Some students with better talents can make first-level defensive soul guides when they enter school." Xu Sheng gave an example.

"Then, he does not need to defeat the three soul beasts. He only needs to test his defense ability. If the defense effect meets the standard, he will still pass the assessment."

Each soul guide has different areas of expertise, such as Xu Sheng and Jia Xu. Xu Sheng is good at making various close combat soul guides, while Jia Xu is obsessed with researching stable soul guides that are conducive to escape.

A defensive soul guide from Mingdetang with good effects, the Wall of Toughness.

It was jointly developed and produced by Jia Xu and several seventh-level soul engineers in his laboratory, and they are now mass-producing, almost forming an entire professional assembly line.

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "The school does not restrict the types of soul guides that can be made. If a student makes a defensive soul guide, then the assessment criteria will naturally focus on testing the defensive capabilities."

"Yuhao, just follow your own ideas. In the introductory stage, we don't even force students to successfully make soul guides."

"For most students who are new to soul guides, the academy will give them humane considerations even if they can only engrave a rough outline of the basic core array."

Huo Yuhao took the storage soul guide, glanced at the various metal materials inside, and nodded: "Okay, I understand, Teacher Xu."

"I will most likely make an offensive soul guide."

Huo Yuhao felt that, given his habit of rubbing the Buddha's Fury Lotus in advance, he should add more talent points to the creation of offensive soul guides.

Xu Sheng gave Huo Yuhao an access card with a special metal texture and took him into the laboratory inside the house.

"Yuhao, while you are preparing for the test, someone will deliver meals on time."

He gestured to the access card in Huo Yuhao's hand and said, "Of course, you can also go to the cafeteria of Mingde Hall for meals. The privileges of your access card are the same as those of Xiao and Meng. The high-end windows in the cafeteria are free for you."

"But you have to work hard, Yuhao. You currently only have temporary residency rights in Mingde Hall."

Xu Sheng patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder to encourage him.

"If you practice hard in the future and make a great contribution to Mingde Hall, you will be able to live here permanently. There is no shortcut on this path."

Meng Hongchen looked like he had a question mark on his head and tilted his head: "Shortcut? What road doesn't have a shortcut?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng glanced at Meng Hongchen beside him, then turned to look at Huo Yuhao, fell into brief contemplation, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Okay Yuhao..."

He groaned, "There is still a shortcut for you."

At present, the hall master is still in the initial stage of exploration of Huo Yuhao, which can be said to be an observation period. If Huo Yuhao truly shows amazing talent in the future.

Then it is not surprising that the hall master made some decisions and arrangements regarding the "future life events of Yuhao and his granddaughter."

And judging from Meng Hongchen's performance today, it seems that he has a good impression of Huo Yuhao...

Xu Sheng couldn't help but feel that the relationship between Yuhao and Mingdetang would be stable in the future.

Xiao Hongchen said sternly: "Yuhao, if you want to obtain the highest authority in Mingde Hall, you must make contributions in exchange for it. You must not take shortcuts."

"Just like there is no shortcut to cultivation, you can only study soul guides down to earth and make a big breakthrough in some aspect of Mingde Hall's soul guide technology."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and asked humbly.

"Then how did you, Brother Xiao, manage to possess the highest authority in Mingde Hall at the age of less than fifteen?"

"Of course it's because of my grandpa, the head of the hall."

“Oh? Is that so?” Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Hongchen saw the amusement in the other person's eyes, and felt frightened. He quickly changed the subject: "Yuhao, take a look at the list of materials."

"If you need any other materials, I'll go with you to the warehouse to get them. Oh, and by the way, Meng doesn't have to go."

Huo Yuhao looked at the list of materials and thought for a while: "Is there any metal that has high hardness and resistance?"

Xiao Hongchen pondered for a moment and said, "Titanium."

"Titanium's hardness and resistance are unique among all metals."

"But it is a rare metal. Every soul guide in Mingde Hall has a limit on its usage each month, and there are also requirements for the effective utilization rate of titanium."

For the researchers of Mingde Hall, the effective utilization rate of rare metals must reach at least 70%. Before they have a thorough grasp of it, they use ordinary metals to practice engraving core magic arrays to improve their proficiency.

If the core magic array of a soul guide device is engraved with rare metals such as titanium, then the success of the production should be guaranteed as much as possible.

Xu Sheng waved his hand, smiled brightly, and invested in the potential players he liked.

“It’s okay, Yuhao. I’ll take you to the warehouse to get some titanium. Put it on my account first. If it’s not enough, you can deduct it from my account.”

Xiao Hongchen was happy to take Huo Yuhao to the warehouse and asked Teacher Xu and his sister to wait there.

After turning around, Xiao Hongchen put his arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulder and whispered:

"Yuhao, during the time you and my sister are neighbors, I don't want you to knock on Meng's door, let alone disturb my sister's peaceful life. If you encounter any problems with soul guides, you can come and ask me."

"What if your sister knocks on my door? If I turn her away, wouldn't it be a bit rude? Anyway, you don't want your sister to be unhappy, do you?"

Xiao Hongchen was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and thought for a moment.

"In this situation, I hope you can inform me, your brother, as soon as possible."

Huo Yuhao did not refuse, and the two of them then took a certain amount of titanium from the warehouse and returned the same way.

Xu Sheng introduced the uses of the various workbenches in the laboratory to Huo Yuhao and said, "I wish you success in becoming a member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Yuhao, I'll be leaving first."

After telling Huo Yuhao his location in the Mingde Hall laboratory, he left the room.

"Meng, let's go too and not disturb Yuhao." Xiao Hongchen continued to take on the responsibility of protecting his own cabbage.

Meng Hongchen waved his hand and smiled, "Yuhao, if there is anything you don't understand, just come and find me next door."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then watched the brother and sister walk out of the house and close the door.

He came to a matte silver-white metal table. Next, his main task was to make a handy soul guide.

He first thought of his strongest attack method, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus. "Can we simplify the Buddha's Wrath Lotus that we currently have, and make it into a bullet for the soul guide?"

In this way, he doesn't even have to use the Buddha's Fury Lotus on the way to attack the enemy.

Although the power may be smaller, it has the advantage in numbers.

Whenever you have free time, make a few Buddha's Wrath Lotus version of ammunition and directly fill it into the soul guide when needed.

After coming up with this idea, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought about it. While his brain was storming, he thought of the terrifying range explosion power of the Buddha's Fury Lotus and suddenly thought of a weapon.

"The bolt gun...it seems like we can make a custom version of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus."

Through some games, anime and film and television works in his previous life, Huo Yuhao had a certain understanding of this kind of weapon, and he once developed a strong interest in the grenade launcher.

However, this time, it was not firing 70-caliber ammunition, but a weakened version of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, as the explosive bomb used for firing.

If this idea can be realized, from a long-term perspective, it will definitely be a high-end version of the grenade launcher.

However, Huo Yuhao soon thought of a major problem in the production process.

"If we cannot engrave the foundation of a magic array that greatly increases metal resistance, it will be impossible to withstand the power of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, let alone compress it into ammunition."

The most important thing about a soul guide is the core magic array.

The ninth-level core magic array may allow metal to bear enough power to threaten the Titled Douluo.

In other words, he needed to engrave the foundation of the magic circle that would allow the metal to bear the weight of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus.

He forgot that when Xiao Yan first condensed the Buddha's Fury Lotus (strange fire + beast fire, fighting spirit version), he jumped across several levels in battle.

But now, Huo Yuhao has condensed the Buddha's Fury Lotus (strange fire + beast fire, soul power version), and the second ring is capable of fighting against an ordinary five-ring soul king.

After all, the previous fire lotus directly bombed the Death Messenger at the peak of the Four Ring Soul Sect into a serious disability.

Huo Yuhao murmured, “With this level of power, it’s going to be very difficult to make ammunition for a grenade launcher.”

Of course, when the Messenger of Death first appeared in the original work, he did not have the best soul ring configuration, but a configuration of two yellow and three purple. Thinking about it this way, the value of bombing him does not seem to be very high.

But from another perspective, the Messenger of Death is capable of killing the Shrek Seven Devils.

Huo Yuhao sat in front of the metal table and thought for a long time, rubbing his brows.

"Well... the biggest problem now is how to engrave a core magic array that can allow metal to bear the power of the Buddha's Wrathful Flame Lotus."

Or the other way is to use the metal's own extreme tolerance as the upper limit and continuously weaken the Buddha's Wrath Lotus until the metal can withstand it, but doing so is simply not in line with the art of explosion.

The purpose of making a grenade gun is to appreciate the aesthetics of continuous explosions. If the power of Buddha's Fury Lotus is weakened too much, it would be really boring.

"Since we don't want to weaken the Buddha's wrath lotus too much, we have to increase the strength of the metal itself and make it undergo a qualitative change."

Huo Yuhao continued to think along this line of thought, and raised the upper limit of the metal itself...

Time passed quickly while he was thinking seriously. He didn’t know how much time had passed when Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of the technology tree containing spiritual metals and N-shaped battle armor in the third part of Tang Family Continent.

Soul guides are the prerequisite technology for battle armor.

The foundation that supports the production of battle armor is the metal produced through the so-called hundred forgings, thousand forgings, spirit forging, and higher-level spirit forging and soul forging.

The strength of metals produced through forging will be greatly improved.

This kind of metal, even if it is purified to the level of a hundred forgings, can be used to make soul guides, and its power will be greatly enhanced.

Electrolux's voice rang in his mind: "Yuhao, are you thinking about metallurgy technology?"

Huo Yuhao's expression lit up with joy. In terms of weapon refining, Old Yi could be considered a pioneer, after all, he had honed the Tower of Eternity, a super-artifact level weapon.

"Master Yi, I have an idea called forging. The first stage is also called Hundred Forging Purification."

"Of course, Hundred Forging Purification does not simply mean hammering and forging the metal a hundred times, but rather removing the impurities in the metal to a certain extent, so that the structure and texture of the metal's exterior and interior undergo a qualitative change."

In Douluo Dalu, some people can't reach the level of purification after a hundred forgings even after thousands of hammerings, while others can make the metal reach the level of purification after a hundred or even a thousand forgings with just one hammer.

After listening to Huo Yuhao's description of forging, Alex smiled amiably and said, "I understand."

"Haha, it's a kind of weapon refining technique that has entered the basics. It's not difficult."

Electrolux condensed into a gray humanoid figure outside Huo Yuhao's body: "Yuhao, I say, you do it."

“Okay.” Huo Yuhao nodded heavily, somewhat excited.

Yi Lao laughed and said, "You can use the Xuanzhong ruler as a forging hammer."

Huo Yuhao took out the Xuanzhong ruler.

Under the guidance of Master Yi, he placed a piece of titanium on the metal table, then released his spiritual soul, swung the Xuanzhong ruler and smashed it down.

"boom."

He pressed down a solid foot and, following the spiritual guidance of Elder Yi, released a trace of soul power and injected it into the titanium. This was an unknown metallurgical technique that Alex had mastered during his lifetime.

After mastering the forging rhythm, Huo Yuhao began to strike the titanium continuously. When he ran out of soul power, he would take soul-recovering pills.

"Bang bang bang..."

In the boudoir in the next room, Meng Hongchen, who had changed into pure white pajamas that showed her girlish charm, was reading the book "The Ruthless Master Sister Must Graduate" that Huo Yuhao had prepared for her. She was lying on her side on the bed facing the light ball, with a beautiful curve at the corner of her lips.

"Hehe, I know that those who practice the ruthless way will eventually become romantic people."

Meng Hongchen was happily watching the plot when she suddenly heard strange noises coming from next door. She half-sat up from the quilt and looked at the wall with curiosity in her eyes.

"Huh? Why do I keep hearing strange groaning sounds coming from Yuhao? What is he doing?"

It was already dark at this time, but Huo Yuhao was still swinging the Xuanzhong ruler, hitting the metal continuously.

He worked until late at night, and under the guidance of Master Yi, he completed the hundred-forging purification of titanium. In fact, if he was not affected by the IQ lock, the difficulty would not be high, not to mention that he had the personal guidance of the master of refining.

"Yuhao, if you reduce the power of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus by a bit, and then use this piece of metal to engrave the core magic array and make ammunition, it should be able to withstand it."

Huo Yuhao's eyes showed excitement. He then took out a stack of papers and excitedly designed the design of the grenade launcher - Buddha's wrathful lotus version.

"Ha, following the tactic of rubbing the fire lotus on the road... the battle technique of using the grenade gun to launch the Buddha's wrath lotus is also about to be born."
