Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 156 Since Soul Douluo, another piece of bad news has come from the cultivation world.

"Yu Cheng has talked to me about you many times in recent years, and I have been looking forward to meeting you. Now my wish has come true."

Upon arriving at the manufacturing room, Yi Hongchen asked Huo Yuhao and the other to find a place to sit down. She leaned against the experimental table, sizing up Huo Yuhao with a smile playing on her lips.

"To be able to reach such a level in both Soul Master and Soul Tool at this age, one's future is limitless. Looking at the history of the entire continent, there are probably only a handful of such people."

"Seeing you reminds me of someone—the first tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, Spirit Ice Douluo."

"..."

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched slightly, but he still said calmly, "President, you flatter me."

Gu Yuena blinked, looked at Huo Yuhao's expression, and smiled.

"Does the guild leader know a lot about Lingbing Douluo?"

"Naturally, when talking about the history of soul tools, one can't avoid mentioning that person."

Yi Hongchen's face showed a look of reminiscence. "Moreover, to my shame, among humans, apart from that one from ten thousand years ago, there are very few who can simultaneously cultivate as a Soul Master and a Soul Instructor. Nowadays, various kinds of knowledge have been further refined and divided into several secondary professions. Pure Soul Instructors are very rare. We, the descendants, are actually inferior to our ancestors."

Yi Hongchen sighed softly, her gaze drifting into the distance.

Huo Yuhao remained calm, but a subtle, complex emotion flickered in his eyes.

That's not a matter of talent, it's a matter of whether or not someone is cheating.

If someone with exceptional talent were to open it, their achievements would likely surpass his.

Gu Yuena turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao, her eyes smiling: "Perhaps it's not that no one can do it, it's just that times have changed? After all, there's too much knowledge involved in soul tools nowadays. Just like how battle armor masters waste a lot of energy to improve their secondary professions, people who truly take care of the soul tool system naturally need more time."

For example, Xiao Yan and the others, although their cultivation has reached the Soul Venerable level, their secondary professions are not improving quickly, but the Spirit Pagoda does not force them to do so.

After all, the Spirit Pagoda is a faction, and everyone there is part of it. Becoming a Battle Armor Master a little earlier or a little later doesn't really have that much of an impact. Now is the golden age for cultivation; it's better to focus on that now.

Yi Hongchen smiled. "Perhaps. But in any case, Yuhao's talent is extraordinary, and of course, Gu Yuena, your aptitude is also commendable. If I had discovered you first, I would have already recruited you into Mingde Hall."

The Mech Pilots Association was originally founded by a Soul Master from Mingde Hall. Although it eventually became what it is today due to the diverse group of people who joined, including various factions and prodigies, it still maintains connections with Mingde Hall.

He himself was one of the representatives sent here by Mingdetang, but he was nearing retirement age, so it's true that Feng Xuanang said he didn't have the energy today...

However, since he's so concerned, why not just give him the position in the future?

Feng Xuanang: Does this scene look familiar?

Upon hearing Yi Hongchen's words, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the president says so, it seems that he knows my goal."

Yi Hongchen nodded slightly. "Yu Cheng communicated with me beforehand. You want to complete your own natal soul tool, so I suppose entering Mingde Hall is also your goal, right? After all, there is relevant research there."

"In this day and age, there are still people willing to walk that path. Silver Moon Douluo's spirit in heaven must be very gratified. However, now that you are members of the Spirit Pagoda, I can only provide you with conveniences in my capacity as the president of the Mech Pilots Association."

"This is an association organization, and we don't usually care much about factionalism. But Mingde Hall is a bit special, and I can't make the decision myself, especially since your identity represents a different matter. To enter Mingde Hall, you need the current head of Mingde Hall's approval." Allowing Huo Yuhao, who possesses the title of Spirit Transmission Master, to enter Mingde Hall is of extraordinary significance. To a certain extent, it represents a deeper alliance between Mingde Hall and the Spirit Transmission Tower. This is not something he can decide; it requires the personal approval of his cousin.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think of the information about the Mingde Hall Master.

Mingde Hall Master, Golden Toad Douluo, Forgets the Mortal World

Level 10 mecha engineer, honorary dean for life of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, level 99 Limit Douluo, one of the pillars of the Federation!

That's right, the Hongchen family has really taken off in this era.

The current head of Mingde Hall comes from the Hongchen family. His cultivation has reached the limit, and his martial soul is the same as Xiao Hongchen's ten thousand years ago: a three-legged golden toad!
The Three-Legged Golden Toad, a rare and exceptional beast spirit, possesses an astonishing talent for manipulating metals. This spirit can not only control various metallic substances at will, but also enhance itself by absorbing the energy contained within rare metals. Its strong affinity for metals is truly a marvel in the world of spirits.

It is important to know that in this era, the quality of rare metals is vastly different from that of ten thousand years ago due to advancements in forging technology. Coupled with the support of Mingdetang and the Hongchen family, the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul shines brightly in this era.

His approach is a bit unconventional, and Huo Yuhao even feels that he and the Soul Douluo might have a lot in common.

Because the Golden Toad Douluo's cultivation method is different from ordinary people, in a sense he uses the innate ability of his martial soul to consume metal energy to reach the limit. He has consumed Thousand Forging, Spirit Forging, and Soul Forging. And the most outrageous thing is... after reaching the title level, he consumed Heaven Forging Metal!
What is Tianduan Metal?
It was forged by a divine craftsman using the power of heaven and earth, and underwent elemental tribulations in the plane, containing certain laws of heaven and earth, or even the laws of the Douluo plane itself. Absorbing the energy within the Heavenly Forged Metal for cultivation is itself a way of comprehending the laws of the Douluo plane, which is beneficial for cultivation after becoming a Title Douluo, and even for breaking through limits.

Having come into close contact with the laws of the planes, how could one's cultivation not progress by leaps and bounds after being granted a title?

However, because of this, the Golden Toad Douluo became the strongest person who caused Zhenhua to be struck by lightning the most often, and also the person Zhenhua disliked the most.

In Zhenhua's words:

The Master of Mingde Hall—Golden Toad Douluo—is the nemesis of the Divine Craftsman!
You want Heavenly Forged Metal just to consume its energy? Are you out of your mind?! I forged a set of four-word battle armor for you with Heavenly Forged Metal, and you can't even rest for a moment? Is this how you waste Heavenly Forged Metal?

The above is a little secret that Huo Yuhao heard from Gu Yuena, which seems to be a complaint that Zhenhua blurted out when he was hoping that she would become a master craftsman.

Moreover, Zhenhua's decision to set up the Ascending Platform in Tiandou City, far from Mingdu, is also related to the head of Mingde Hall.

The Ascension Platform was built by Zhenhua to increase the success rate of Heaven Forging, at a cost no less than that of creating several four-word battle armors. Originally, Zhenhua intended to build it in Mingdu, since it was the capital of the Federation, and all the major powers had their own people there, making it easier for him to act when they sought his help.

However, after being tormented by the Golden Toad Douluo, he quickly slipped back to Heaven Dou City.

If even one person is like this, it almost caused his body to become mushy, not to mention that the powerful figures of various forces also have a need for Heavenly Forging Metal.

He's a master craftsman, he really can't handle this.

"Talented players simply can't compare."

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly.

However, if Mingde Hall and the Spirit Transmission Tower hadn't been willing to provide the Golden Toad and Soul-Suppressing Resources, and if these resources hadn't been available in this era, their extreme cultivation methods would have been difficult to implement.

Time is also destiny.

Old Xiao, don't be angry in heaven. Your descendants are living in a good era, something you can't envy.
