Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 168 The Rapid Development of Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Device Technology

Sun and Moon Empire, Mingdu.

Time is like a wild donkey; once it starts running, it never stops.

More than a year has passed since Huo Yuhao left to hunt for his fourth spirit ring and travel to Sunset Forest and Body Sect. He has finally returned to Mingdu, the capital city he has always been loyal to.

Poison Undying has already returned to the Body Sect. He can't keep following Huo Yuhao like this forever, even though the latter is his personal disciple.

Spending more than a year by Huo Yuhao's side, teaching him cultivation, can be said to have fulfilled all the responsibilities a teacher should have.

Now that he has become a level 99 Limit Douluo, the Body Sect will definitely take some action.

Putting everything else aside, the relationship between the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire should also change. One sect has Limit Douluo, and the other is an empire where even Super Douluo are few and far between.

The relationship between the two parties should not be just like this.

At the very least, the Body Sect must firmly maintain its advantage in taking the initiative on some key matters.

Huo Yuhao had already returned to the Hall of Worship without alerting anyone. Of course, many high-ranking officials already knew about his return when he entered the Sun and Moon Border and returned to Mingdu.

The situation at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has changed dramatically compared to three years ago.

That's right, compared to three years ago, when Huo Yuhao had just arrived at Sun Moon and was living a precarious life.

With the advent of the Soul Guidance Lathe and its further refinement under the research of Mingde Hall, Soul Guidance Devices can now be mass-produced in an assembly line, provided that the supply of metal can be guaranteed.

Of course, at this time, the technology was in the hands of Mingdetang. Other research institutions, including students of the academy and other forces, only had the right to use it, but not the right to research it.

In other words, the core technology of the lathe, this revolutionary soul tool, must be absolutely controlled by Mingde Hall and Gongfeng Hall. For this reason, Jing Hongchen even designed a reverse-rotation core array.

If anyone dares to disassemble the Soul-Guided Lathe, it will trigger the self-destruct program within the core magic array, completely destroying all the magic arrays on the lathe.

While there's an element of increasing their own influence, the primary motivation is to prevent technology from being lost to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy.

After all, the level of soul tools in the Three Kingdoms was far behind that of the Sun and Moon Kingdoms. Their core soul tool technology was not up to par, but their basic soul tool research was still something that the Sun and Moon Kingdoms could barely take a look at. If they did not research high-end soul tools, but instead turned around and tried to mass-produce low-end soul tools with soul tool lathes and arm their lower-level troops.

This is not a good thing for the sun and moon.

This technology, which requires no complicated operations and can mass-produce soul tools simply by supplying metals, is not only an irreplaceable core technology for Sun Moon, but also the crown jewel of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Since the invention of the lathe, they have sent many spies to the Sun and Moon to gather intelligence, but Mingde Hall is well protected, so the three countries have always returned empty-handed.

There are also soul-guided airships. The airships that flew over the Royal Soul Master Academy three years ago, representing a symbolic significance, have all disappeared. In their place are airplanes that are occasionally used for experiments and constantly fly in the sky.

Over the course of three years, the core flight control system and many other components have been rapidly advanced under the research of Mingdetang. Now the aircraft has almost reached the second generation, which is the second generation of aircraft in the sense of the sun and moon.

Not only is it equipped with soul-guided bombs, but its flight speed and altitude have also been greatly improved, making it an absolute nightmare for low-level soul masters except for those with titled Douluo status.

Of course, the quantity is still too small, after all, the amount of metal required is enormous, but this is an era where technology is developing rapidly and in a skewed direction. As long as we give the sun and moon some more time, the quantity will definitely not be a problem.

Energy is also an issue, and the battery life has shown a significant shortcoming. However, with the gradual maturation of soul power compression technology, it is only a matter of time before the energy problem is solved.

Huo Yuhao, the founder of these two technologies, receives a considerable share of the profits every year, but these profits are temporarily held by Jing Hongchen and can be withdrawn at any time.

The Hall of Offerings, the core research area.

"Level 68, Yuhao, you're actually level 68!!"

Kong Deming's tone was filled with an indescribable shock; no one could understand his feelings at that moment.

My disciple only trained with that old bastard Du Bu Si for a little over a year, and when he came back, he had leveled up by twenty-eight! Is that reasonable? That's just not reasonable at all!

If the rapid advancement of their own disciples' soul power levels in the past could be attributed to their profound foundation and some fortunate opportunities, how can this be explained now?

He knew some of Huo Yuhao's true situation before, including Jing Hongchen and others, but at that time he only said that Huo Yuhao had touched the threshold of Quasi-Soul Emperor. But now, he has already touched the threshold of Quasi-Soul Saint.

It's also because the poison didn't die, and it concealed some of the true situation, all for this moment. But the former obviously didn't have the chance to see Kong Deming's shocked expression.

Huo Yuhao shrugged helplessly; he knew this would happen.

So he explained, "Teacher, this is what happened." He recounted his cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Body Sect, as well as his recent acquisition of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye.

Only after listening to his disciple's slow explanation did Kong Deming feel relieved.

Why was he at ease? Of course, it was because he was worried that the poison wouldn't kill that old guy who, for some vague and uncertain thing, blindly used drugs to increase Yuhao's soul power.

Although Kong Deming knew that the probability was extremely low, he still couldn't help but worry because he didn't know the real situation.

After all, when he communicated with Du Busi before, that guy only said that Yuhao would give him a surprise when he came back. Now it's a surprise, no, it should be more like a shock!

However, after hearing Yuhao's explanation, he felt relieved.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen and the others also arrived.

Huo Yuhao gave another long explanation, and it wasn't until the group experienced the incredibly realistic soul power level that they gradually accepted the current situation.

Jing Hongchen's old face was practically beaming with joy.

Leaving Huo Yuhao, a genius, in Sun and Moon City can only be called the greatest operation in hundreds of years.

However, the group was still worried, so they carefully and thoroughly tested Huo Yuhao's overall physical condition. But what they found shocked them so much that their jaws almost dropped.

Their physical strength, mental strength, and even the strength of their martial spirit and attributes far exceeded their expectations.

Who can tell them how their physical strength, comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, came about, and what their mental strength level was?

This surpasses that of a typical Super Douluo. Even Jing Hongchen, disregarding physical strength and focusing solely on mental power, feels that he is far inferior to Huo Yuhao in terms of mental strength.

Helpless, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to continue explaining, including that he had taken the Autumn Water Dew and obtained the 150,000-year-old Evil Eye external soul bone.

At this moment, Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and Xuan Ziwen looked at each other in disbelief; shock was an understatement to describe their feelings.

The essence of a 100,000-year-old immortal herb, imbued with spiritual attributes and a soul bone, forged in ice and fire to create a golden body.
Good heavens, this is definitely the chosen one of this world, the most favored child of the heavens, no doubt about it.

They are now in shock, utterly shocked.

Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were able to maintain their composure on the surface, but Xuan Ziwen suddenly let out a loud howl.

Clinging to Huo Yuhao's shoulders, his eyes shone like those of a wild beast that hadn't eaten for years, frighteningly bright.

"Yuhao, does this mean that you already have the foundation to become a level nine Soul Master?"

Jing Hongchen also spoke up, his emotions a mix of indescribable feelings, almost identical to Xuan Ziwen's.

"Your fifth spirit ring is 100,000 years old, and your sixth spirit ring is also 100,000 years old. Does that mean that, Yuhao, your next three spirit rings will all be 100,000 years old or even higher?"

Everyone immediately understood that the boost that a 100,000-year soul ring could bring was absolutely unimaginable. This meant that as long as Huo Yuhao reached a major stage in the future, attaching a 100,000-year soul ring to him would allow him to increase his soul power level by several more times.

This is an unimaginable virtuous cycle!
Soul rings enhance oneself and increase one's soul power level. The increase in level and personal strength means that the next stage can support soul rings with higher lifespans.

hiss~
At this moment, everyone thought of one possibility: Huo Yuhao himself possessed a second martial soul. Regardless of the second martial soul, the three spirit rings following the first martial soul must also be at the level of over 100,000 years.

That's a minimum of three; where are they going to get so many 100,000-year-old soul rings?

If a spirit ring is to be added to Huo Yuhao's second spirit, it must start with 100,000 years. Are there really that many 100,000-year spirit rings on the continent?!
Nodding, Huo Yuhao first answered his senior brother's question.

"That's correct in theory, and I will also shift my focus in my training towards soul tools in the future."

"In the next few years, I plan to cultivate while focusing on researching soul tools, aiming to raise my soul master level to the ninth level."

"Moreover, I've had quite a few interesting ideas about soul tools during this time."

Xuan Ziwen was beaming with joy, almost jumping for joy.

My junior brother is finally going to focus his attention on soul tools. It's not hard to imagine how high his soul tool level will be next, given his hardware capabilities.

After speaking, Huo Yuhao looked at Jing Hongchen and smiled, "Dean, I have made progress regarding the spirit rings, so there's no need to worry too much."
