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

Chapter 262 Title Promotion Ceremony, Electrox Prepares to Use the Dimensional Backdoor (4K)

Half a month later.

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

The small courtyard by the lake at Huo Yuhao's residence.

"So you're saying that Yuhao has been staying in his room ever since he came back, and you haven't even brought him any food?"

Gu Yuena and Yu Qiu'er stood beside Su Tong, their eyes scrutinizing and observing this woman named Su Tong.

"That's what Yuhao said. He said he needs to focus on his research during this time and asked me to take good care of the house."

Upon hearing Su Tong's words, Yu Qiu'er clenched her fists. What was this woman doing? Was her relationship with Yu Hao really that good? They were even using such intimate terms of address now.

Moreover, where did this guy come from? How did he suddenly appear?

"Hey, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Although Yu Qiu'er shared a portion of Huo Yuhao's memories after their destinies merged, so much time had passed that she had completely forgotten about Su Tong, who originally only occupied a small part of Huo Yuhao's memories.

Su Tong smiled, her expression remaining gentle.

"I was originally a Shrek Academy student, but I was guided by fate and had the good fortune to follow Lord Yuhao, just like you."

Yu Qiu'er pouted. What kind of woman is this? She even talks about the guidance of fate. I'm the one who's with Yuhao because of the guidance of fate, okay? Just like me, you're not a mythical beast, hmph!

Although it was their first meeting, Yu Qiu'er instinctively felt that Su Tong was not someone to be trifled with.

Her gaze was off; it wasn't the kind of affection she felt for Yuhao that Meng and herself had, but rather a fanaticism, an undisguised fanaticism for that guy Yuhao.

Could Yuhao have brainwashed this guy?
However, Gu Yuena didn't care about any of that. She already knew what Huo Yuhao was doing and understood why he was doing it.

As she studied, she couldn't help but recall Yuhao's promise that he had never forgotten his original ideal: that he would eventually pave a new path for soul beasts and soul masters.

"Alright, please let us know when Yuhao comes out."

Gu Yuena had already seen through Su Tong's background: the ultimate ice, and her martial soul was the Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul.

Remembering her past conflict with Xue Di, Gu Yuena realized that Su Tong's presence here and the sudden appearance of this new character must be related to Xue Di.

Hmph, could that guy be up to something?
Actually, they came here for a reason, mainly because of the account suspension issue, and wanted to ask Huo Yuhao's opinion.

After all, once someone becomes a titled powerhouse, they must hold an advancement ceremony to announce to the world that they have become a titled Douluo. The location of the ceremony is usually the core area of ​​the powerhouse's own territory.

The sects, academies, or empires to which the titled experts belong must also issue announcements during this process, proactively informing the continent. This serves two purposes: firstly, to promote their own strength and resources, and secondly, to consolidate their power and prestige, thus forming a consensus in public opinion.

Gu Yuena wasn't interested in this kind of thing at first, but since Yuhao took out some True Dragon Soul Bones to help his teachers improve their strength, they have once again made great strides in improving their own strength.

After learning that Yuhao was now a level 94 titled powerhouse, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming became particularly concerned about the matter after their seclusion ended.

Huo Yuhao is no longer the same person he used to be, someone who had to be held in a protective hand, kept hidden, and whose life was constantly threatened with failure.

Now that they have become titled powerhouses and have reached level 94, and with Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult no longer eyeing them covetously, they naturally have no need to be cautious.

In addition, all of their elders had experienced a surge in strength, so they decided to hold a grand title promotion ceremony.

This was not only an announcement to the entire continent that Huo Yuhao was not only the greatest genius in the past ten thousand years, but also the most dazzling genius in the world in the past ten thousand years.

Moreover, doing so would elevate the influence of Sun and Moon to a new level. With the spontaneous dissemination by Soul Masters and Soul Mentors, and the support of his prestige and authority, Yuhao would become a role model in the hearts of all Soul Masters and Soul Mentors, achieving three goals at once.

but
Gu Yuena felt that Huo Yuhao wasn't very interested in this kind of thing, since he hadn't mentioned the title advancement ceremony since absorbing the soul of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

That makes sense; it's not a serious matter, so there's really no need to put too much effort into it.

Just like this All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, she and Yuhao will be the main team members and fight against those guys in the Baby Cup. Actually, she felt that neither she nor Yuhao would participate, and Meng and the others could fight their way through, which was really boring.

The teachers seem to care a lot. I heard they're going to hold Yuhao's title promotion ceremony at the opening ceremony, so he can put on a good show and act like a little kid.

Gu Yuena and Yu Qiu'er left, while Su Tong remained as aloof as ever. However, after they left, she skillfully changed her clothes and began to diligently clean the yard.

The figure of Xue Di slowly emerged, appearing behind her, and looked at Gu Yue Na's back with displeasure.

"Xiaotong, that Gu Yuena is no good person. Stay away from her, okay?"

Su Tong was slightly taken aback, her gaze changing, but unlike the fervor she showed towards Huo Yuhao, when she looked at Xue Di, it was an infatuation, a crazy fascination and admiration.

"Yes, Snow Empress."

Xue Di sighed, realizing that ever since she helped this girl complete her martial soul evolution, she had become like this, acting like a yandere. She wondered what went wrong.

"Don't call me Snow Empress, and the same goes for Yuhao."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Ah~"

On the other side, Yu Qiu'er chattered away beside Gu Yuena.

"My lord, something's not right with that Su Tong. She actually calls Yuhao 'Lord Yuhao,' and she acts like a maid."

Yu Qiu'er already knew that something must have happened between her master and Yu Hao, so she naturally followed her master's will. In her opinion, having Meng as a rival to Yu Hao was already a huge headache, and now if there was another one, it would be even worse.
"Oh, aren't you allies with Meng? Why don't you just go and tell her?"

Gu Yuena smiled gently, lightly brushing her hair. Her little dog had quite a few thoughts, little did it know that she could see through everything.

For Gu Yuena, who had fully recovered her strength and was the first to push Yuhao down, she was Yuhao's first woman. As for Meng, her own 'little dog,' and that Xue Di, they were just a bunch of idiots who had the desire but not the courage to act.

No, no, after Yuhao finishes his research, I must ride on his back. It's been days since I've properly inhaled the scent of Yuhao that I find so captivating.

Yu Qiu'er tapped her index fingers together, not daring to look up, hoping it was just her imagination.

How did my master find out about my anti-master alliance with that guy Meng? How was the matter exposed?
I'll go discuss this with Meng in a bit. Now Su Tong has appeared, and that guy is acting very strangely. We must strike first. However, Yu Hao is so strong now, and the Master is watching. What method should Meng and I use to take him down?

"Perfect energy resonance, perfect transformation of soul particle superposition state, perfect transformation of the necromantic magic core array, and perfect low-end reverse deconstruction barrier of the soul sphere."

Inside the laboratory, ten figures of Huo Yuhao were busy moving around. They were all mental puppets who had inherited ninety percent of his strength. Each of them, under the supply of Huo Yuhao's enormous mental power, was able to use mental detection sharing and metal control.

The puppets had clear divisions of labor: some absorbed knowledge of level nine soul tools, some used their mental power to shape and process metal, and some assisted the main body, Huo Yuhao, in completing the structure of the soul sphere.
It can be said that Huo Yuhao, with the help of nine titled puppets, has now acquired all the qualifications to become a level nine soul master.

This is what makes evolved soul skills so unreasonable, and it's also where the true strength of soul skills like Spirit Puppet and Spirit Detection lies in their support capabilities.

The advantage of first improving one's mental strength and physical power before learning soul guidance knowledge becomes apparent.

Even disregarding all the advantages mentioned above, Huo Yuhao could become a level nine Soul Master—a position seemingly unattainable for those Soul Masters—without much effort, even relying solely on his current mental strength and personal abilities. It wouldn't take him more than a few days.

"Phew, it's finally done."

Huo Yuhao stretched his hands and looked at the core magic array on the table, which had been reverse-designed and modified using necromancy. He felt it was perfect.

The core array, equipped with a reverse deconstruction barrier and unaffected by the soul guide's level once installed within the soul sphere structure, can be considered a revolutionary product for the future soul spirit system.

With this core magic circle designed in reverse necromancy, the soul orb itself will no longer have level divisions, nor will it be affected by the soul contract.

As long as the proper procedures are followed and the medium function of the core magic array is not changed, any soul sphere made of metal or material will have the function of storing souls, without worrying about insufficient spiritual power, which would force souls to reside in the sea of ​​spirit.

The only difference is that the internal space of soul spheres made of metals that match the attributes of soul spirits, as well as those made of high-level materials, may be more suitable for soul spirits to live in.

If someone later decides to use even more precious metals and materials to create a more valuable soul orb, providing a more comfortable habitat for their ten-thousand-year and one-hundred-thousand-year soul spirits, then that's not something he should be concerned about.

If you have the money, go ahead and build them. There are also Ultra Balls and Master Balls, they all function the same way.

The soul sphere he's designing and about to assemble is practically foolproof; even a regular level-five soul master could create one that could hold a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit. But as I said before, there's no need for it.

He designed the quantum superposition state and energy resonance magic within the Soul Orb into a core magic array, breaking down the barrier of universality and removing the most important limitation.

Just like lathes and similar tools, once a clear direction is given, the soul masters will naturally refine it.

Whether you design a soul sphere using various metals to better suit the storage of souls, or use special materials to highlight its uniqueness, it doesn't matter. In any case, for souls, it's just a place to store them.

His soul sphere is large enough to hold all kinds of souls of all attributes. He can't care what kind of trouble others cause later on, and he's too lazy to care.

"Now, all that's left is the experiment."

He retrieved the nine puppets from the space, and instantly, a vast system of knowledge was integrated into his memory. After the retrieval, everything that the nine puppets had learned and understood during this period became nourishment for his main body.

Just as expected, Huo Yuhao has now become a true level nine Soul Master.

The soul sphere was assembled. Huo Yuhao took out about 200g of several metals and a small amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. He was preparing to assemble a soul sphere for the Snow Empress.

By the way, let's confirm whether this core magic circle designed with necromancy can reliably function as a soul orb regardless of the materials used, as long as the process remains unchanged.

Soon, a red and white soul orb, without a clearly defined soul guide level, but with a strange attraction, was assembled.

In the distant future of Douluo Star, this Soul Orb will be regarded as a spiritual symbol by countless Soul Beasts and human scientists, and will be forever kept in the Alliance Headquarters. It is one of the sacred objects that clearly divides the new era from the old era.

Of course, this is a story.

After conducting some experiments and confirming that even the Snow Empress could be stored in this soul orb, and that the internal space was very suitable for the survival of soul spirits, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this soul orb was no longer of any use. Xue Di still didn't like living in it; she preferred to live in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Huo Yuhao didn't care, after all, the Soul Orb was originally prepared for the later Soul Spirit system, for those weak Soul Spirits, and for those Soul Beast Masters who couldn't open up their spiritual sea.

Perhaps in the future, those spirit-attribute soul beast masters will no longer need to use soul orbs, but they will ultimately be a very small minority. Soul orbs serve the soul spirit system and the majority in the future.

He didn't need such things in the first place; his spiritual sea was a world in itself.
"Then there's only one last step: to make the Soul Contract system a part of the rules of the Douluo World."

It sounds difficult, as if only a god could do it.

According to the standards of the Holy Demon Continent, one would need to break through to the ninth-order God rank, merge with heaven and earth, and coexist with the rules before it is possible. But for Old Huo, it is obviously unnecessary to go through such trouble.

Who told him to be the most beloved child of the Douluo Continent? For Huo Yuhao, these rules that could help the continent resolve the conflict between humans and beasts and were beneficial to the growth of the continent were just a matter of communicating with the will of the continent.

Just as he was about to complete the final step and make the Soul Contract rules a part of Douluo Star, Elder Yi appeared at the right time.

"Yuhao, wait a minute. I have some things that I need to convey to the will of the plane through you."

The reason why Electrolux's necromancy can be used on Douluo Star is fundamentally due to the universality of the rules of its power and the compatibility of its underlying energy. Necroancy does not rely on the rules of a specific plane or the elemental system, but rather involves the basic laws of the universe.

Even so, the core essence of necromancy is still the manipulation of souls and the laws of life and death. The rules of life, death and soul have universality across planes, and Douluo Star is no exception. However, due to the different planes, necromancy is still somewhat suppressed, and the rule compatibility prevents Ilex from fully utilizing it.

It's impossible for Electrox to localize and reconstruct all necromancy according to the rules of the Douluo Continent; that would be too time-consuming.

Therefore, it is necessary to use Yuhao to invoke the will of the world and directly transform necromancy into a fundamental rule of this world.

To put it simply, Electrolux wanted to take a back door and reduce his workload by leveraging the commonalities of the rules.

This is a mutually beneficial thing for both necromancy and the Douluo Continent.

He will be able to unleash necromancy without reservation and exert his full power, while the Douluo Continent will be able to strengthen the rules of soul and death, creating a win-win situation.

Without Huo Yuhao, he certainly wouldn't dare. After all, he's an outsider, and the rules of the plane wouldn't allow him to do such a favor. He'd be lucky if he didn't get rejected.

But now that Yuhao, the chosen one of destiny in the Douluo Continent, is here, things are much simpler.

Furthermore, since the Douluo Continent has strengthened the laws of soul and death, things will become much simpler for Yuhao if he wants to merge the Undead Demiplane and the Dragon Valley Small World, which have similar laws.

After all, the Dragon Valley Small World is a small plane that is attached to Douluo Star, and it has an innate advantage. If we make up for the shortcoming of the Undead Demiplane, Douluo Star will also be closer to the Undead Demiplane in terms of laws.
Who knows? When Yuhao merges the two worlds to create the world, the Douluo world will also contribute.
