Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 155 Recalling the Mortal World

Li Yucheng stepped forward to interrupt at the right moment, forcing a smile and saying, "Elder Feng, Yuhao already has a teacher, please don't make things difficult for him."

This is an elder of the Mech Pilots Association. He is of the same generation as him, but their abilities are worlds apart.

"Hmm? It seems Yuhao hasn't taken on a master yet?"

Feng Xuanang looked at the people around him with a questioning expression, "I've never heard of Chairman Li taking on apprentices. Have you heard of it?"

"No."

Those around him shook their heads.

Feng Xuanang turned to look at Li Yucheng, a helpless expression on his face. "President Li, I know you are eager to nurture talent, but you can't lie."

Li Yucheng's expression changed drastically.

Seriously, have you no shame? So that's why you brought a bunch of people with you, just to echo your sentiments?
Huo Yuhao stepped forward to help Li Yucheng out of the predicament, saying, "In the past two years, Elder Li has been imparting his knowledge and teaching me, answering my questions. We have already established a master-disciple relationship, so naturally he is my teacher."

Feng Xuanang raised an eyebrow, and seeing Huo Yuhao personally smooth things over, he stopped dwelling on the matter and simply smiled:
“Yuhao, he is an eighth-level manufacturing master, so he probably can’t teach you anything now. You should learn from me instead. Don’t worry, I don’t care about your teacher when it comes to a genius like you.”

"..."

Utterly shameless.

Li Yucheng took a deep breath. "I'm a level nine manufacturer now."

Feng Xuanang's smile froze, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Oh? When did you break through to level nine? How come I didn't hear about a promotion ceremony?"

Li Yucheng snorted coldly: "They just passed the test yesterday, and there hasn't been a chance to announce it yet. Elder Feng is quite well-informed; he even knows everything about Yuhao's situation."

Huo Yuhao added with a smile, "Elder Li has completed a soul power amplifier that can enhance the power of a level nine soul tool."

Feng Xuanang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Li Yucheng with surprise and doubt, "You actually completed the assignment the chairman gave you?"

The Soul Power Amplifier was originally a gradeless soul tool that could upgrade soul tools below level nine by one level, but in this era, such soul tools are quite useless.

Because it requires diamond refined gold to manufacture, and one kilogram of refined gold can only yield thirty grams of diamond refined gold, the consumption of rare metals is simply too much. It would be better to forge it and use it to manufacture other soul tools, or simply to create a stronger soul tool.

Therefore, the Soul Power Amplifier has been phased out. However, both within the Association and the Mingde Hall, there are research topics on the Soul Power Amplifier, with the aim of using the rare metals that have been forged to create a stronger one.

This technological breakthrough could significantly improve the overall level of soul tools and may even change the landscape of the entire soul tool industry.

Feng Xuanang was genuinely surprised; he hadn't expected Li Yucheng to be able to solve this problem that had plagued the association for years. Even Mingdetang hadn't made any breakthrough progress.

This cannot be accomplished simply by blindly following the structure of diamonds and refined gold.

Li Yucheng stroked his long beard, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "It's only a slight achievement, and it's only just been completed. It can only increase the power by a few percent, and it's still a long way from making a level nine soul tool comparable to a level ten soul tool... Moreover, it's all thanks to Yuhao's unique insights into the core array, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete it by simply copying the structure of the diamond and refined gold."

As he spoke, he looked at Huo Yuhao with emotion.

A few years ago, telling Huo Yuhao about this topic and researching it together with him was the best decision he ever made.

He originally thought he would need Huo Yuhao to complete the new soul power amplifier, but unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao gave him more surprises during the two years of research, allowing him to complete the soul tool by hand and become a level nine mecha manufacturer.

Meeting him was his good fortune.

Feng Xuanang frowned deeply: "There are also differences in skill level among level nine crafters. I have been immersed in the level nine realm for twenty years, and my understanding of core formations far surpasses yours. This is all you have to offer. Yuhao has probably already learned everything."

Li Yucheng's face fell, "That's still..."

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "What important matter are you discussing? Why are you all gathered here?" Everyone turned around and saw a burly old man stride in. He had white hair and beard, was in good spirits, and had bright, piercing eyes.

"President!" Li Yucheng and Feng Xuanang exclaimed in surprise at the same time, bowing along with the others around them.

The president of the Mech Pilots Association, Yi Hongchen, waved his hand, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao, and asked with interest, "You're the Huo Yuhao who caused such a sensation, right? Everyone in the hall is talking about you right now. I'm Yi Hongchen, the president of the Mech Pilots Association."

Huo Yuhao already knew of the other's existence, but looking at him now, he still felt as if he were in another world.

The Red Dust Family... This is perhaps the second biggest change after the Spirit Pagoda?
Meeting with the descendants of the deceased is also my first time returning to this era...

A thought flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He bowed politely and said, "Greetings, President."

Yi Hongchen smiled slightly, "No need for formalities. It is truly remarkable that you have achieved so much at such a young age."

What's even more remarkable is that he can remain calm and composed in the face of public acclaim, which is more admirable than his talent.

I was originally planning to observe it carefully, but now it seems perhaps that's unnecessary...

He turned to look at Li Yucheng and Feng Xuanang, "You two are arguing so fiercely over a junior, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Feng Xuanang quickly explained, "President, we just..."

Yi Hongchen interrupted him, "Alright, I know everything."

He paused, his gaze sweeping between Li Yucheng and Feng Xuanang, and said leisurely, "Since you two can't reach an agreement, why don't you—"

He suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile: "I will personally train him from now on. Anyway, Yu Cheng brought him here with the intention that I would be interested. That's not wrong. I've never seen such a well-rounded genius before."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent for a moment.

Feng Xuanang was a little anxious, "President, you are usually very busy with your affairs, how can you have time to personally teach newcomers? Besides, Yuhao is a member of the Spirit Pagoda..."

Yi Hongchen interrupted, "It's just a matter of sectarianism. You can put it aside, but can't I? Besides, the association and the Spirit Pagoda have quite a few collaborative projects. This is a good opportunity to deepen our exchanges."

Upon hearing this, a knowing smile flashed in Li Yucheng's eyes. He had long expected the chairman to be interested, but he hadn't anticipated such a decisive move.

If the chairman makes a move, Feng Xuanang will have no chance.

After all, the other party comes from the Hongchen family and is one of the top ten mecha designers on the continent, having designed several types of tenth-level soul tools!
Feng Xuanang wanted to say something more, but Yi Hongchen waved her hand and led Huo Yuhao and the other two towards a manufacturing room.

Watching them leave, Feng Xuanang suddenly sighed.

"This child is not only exceptionally talented, but also has an excellent character. He will become the future master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. You are very lucky."

Li Yucheng did not respond.

Seeing this, Feng Xuanang didn't care and simply looked away helplessly.

In the past two years, the Spirit Pagoda has been promoting Huo Yuhao's reputation.

This is both a publicity stunt and a test.

With so many honors bestowed upon him, Huo Yuhao would never have become the next Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda if he were overwhelmed by pressure or became complacent with empty fame.

But based on our interactions today, Huo Yuhao is not only exceptionally talented, but also has an excellent temperament. No wonder the president made such a decision.

'Sigh, it's too late after all. Couldn't that kid Haoxuan have said something sooner? In the end, Li Yucheng beat him to it...'
