Douluo: Traveling through Huo Yuhao, awakening the Drunken Swordsman

Chapter 356 First Lesson
Xuan Ziwen is obsessed with soul guides, but that doesn't mean he is not smart enough in other things.

Huo Yuhao’s research could certainly impress him, but it was by no means an unconditional impulse.

After three high-fives, Xuan Ziwen smiled and said, "Okay, let's start the class. I hope you can bring me more surprises soon."

"However, I must say that even if you can research ten kinds, it won't take too long."

"Otherwise, when I get older, I may not have the crazy drive to pursue my ideals."

Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile.

How long?
Hey, based on his current mental strength, even if he copied all the soul guides of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, it would probably take no more than a year!
He still needs to summarize this into data and record it, otherwise, the speed will be even faster!

Xuan Ziwen nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started. I see that your foundation is very solid, and you have the special characteristics of a spiritual master. I won't go into the techniques of making soul guides, but I'll talk about some concepts first."

“Only when the concept is correct can we avoid taking detours when conducting in-depth research.”

Huo Yuhao deeply agreed: "Yes, hard work can only determine whether a person walks fast or not, but if the direction is wrong, it will be useless no matter how fast he walks."

Xuan Ziwen glanced at him in surprise: "To be able to say these words, it seems that your kid is indeed pretty good in terms of understanding."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "That's a must. I am a genius after all."

Xuan Ziwen looked at him amusedly but did not refute this statement.

"Yuhao, what do you think is the greatest significance of the emergence of soul guides?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled the night he arrived in Mingdu. Looking down from the sky, he saw the familiar bustling scene of brightly lit buildings. He sighed and said, “Of course it’s the progress of civilization!”

After hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Xuan Ziwen's body trembled slightly and he said in a deep voice, "Why do you say that?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly: "There is an old saying in my hometown: What is the difference between humans and soul beasts? It is the ability to make use of things."

"Of course, we are talking about ordinary soul beasts here, not soul beasts that have cultivated for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years and whose wisdom is not inferior to that of humans."

"Soul beasts survive on the continent much longer than humans. Their average lifespan is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands times that of humans, not to mention their individual strength."

"But what about now? In just a few tens of thousands of years, humans have become the only overlord on the continent."

"And those soul beasts that were once extremely powerful can only hide in the settlements all over the continent and dare not easily step out."

"The reason is that human civilization has been advancing rapidly, but soul beasts have remained where they were. There is no difference between a hundred thousand years ago and a hundred thousand years later."

Huo Yuhao took a look at the various advanced soul guides in Xuan Ziwen's laboratory and exclaimed: "For humans, soul guides are actually no different from soul rings."

"They can all be seen as tools that humans have gradually learned to use after constant exploration and discovery, and they can all make humans stronger and more progressive."

"So, in reality, spirit rings are essentially the same as pots, pans, swords, spears, and halberds. They are all 'things' that we can use!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire laboratory suddenly fell silent. After a long while, Xuan Ziwen slowly exhaled, looked at Huo Yuhao in amazement and praised: "You can have such an understanding, Yuhao, you are indeed a well-deserved genius soul mentor."

"Your idea is exactly what I think. Although the research on soul guides is mainly used for combat, I have always insisted that the fundamental purpose of studying soul guides is to better promote the evolution of human society and make humans a stronger existence."

"I firmly believe that one day in the near future, humans will be able to conquer any race, even other worlds outside our world, through soul guides!"

"Our current strength is still too small, but as soul guides continue to evolve, we humans will also evolve with them."

"Yuhao, believe it or not, one day, even humans without a trace of soul power will be able to hunt down 100,000-year soul beasts through soul guides!"

Xuan Ziwen sighed: "In the past few thousand years, human evolution has actually been very slow."

"I believe that if there had not been a collision between the Sun and Moon Continents, the slow evolution of the Douluo Continent would have continued."

"Even now, the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent have not fully taken soul guides seriously."

"If we don't consider the top soul masters, I dare say that the current Sun-Moon Empire can completely unify the continent through soul guides. This is completely the gap in civilization level."

"However, our research on soul guides has also reached a bottleneck. The reason is very simple. This bottleneck comes from the soul masters."

"When soul guides were first developed, they were used by soul masters and activated with soul power."

"So much so that for thousands of years, all research has been focused on this aspect, which has resulted in the serious drawback that soul guides cannot be widely used."

"Soul masters are, after all, only the elite among humans, a very small minority, not the general public."

"If the development of soul guides cannot enter the world of ordinary people, then they will never become a cross-era existence that can truly promote the evolution of human civilization."

"The more powerful the soul guide, the more powerful the soul master needs to use it. This stupid logic has caused the current research on soul guides to stagnate."

"Our current research direction is to see how to enable ordinary people to use soul guides. This is why I was amazed by the design of your soul guide just now."

"Although you haven't completely solved the problem, you can at least let the soul master act as a carrier to charge the bottle. After charging, the soul guide you made can be used by ordinary people."

"This is what I am most concerned about, not the power of your soul guide."

"In other words, the most important core technology of this soul guide you just mentioned is how to guide the charging array through mechanical structure instead of using soul power."

"So, if you want to impress me, you have to study civilian soul guides as much as possible."

"For now, relatively successful cases are still limited to fixed-install soul guides."

"It's just that the production cost of fixed-type soul guides is too high, especially high-level fixed-type soul guides. Even Mingde Hall rarely produces them now. The Sun-Moon Empire is only equipped with one fixed-type soul guide division."
