Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 159 Set
They don't require manufacturing techniques or soul guidance arrays; they are mostly level seven or eight soul guidance devices used to enhance individual strength.

There's absolutely no reason why such a request should be rejected if it's written down.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao was willing to spend money to buy it. Ordering equipment was commonplace at Mingde Hall, so there was no reason to refuse.

After all, who wouldn't want to earn extra money?

Soul Masters may be wealthy, but that doesn't mean they're not short of money. A very few researchers even specialize in selling equipment to Douluo Three Kingdoms, earning more than double the profit.

—For example, that guy who likes to throw expensive baby bottles at auctions to inflate prices.

"This... I'm sorry, Yuhao. We might not be able to accept this list. Not to mention us, even your mentor, Xuan Ziwen, might not be able to accept it."

The researcher, looking constipated, slammed down the screen, clutching his head and forcing a wry smile, appearing quite troubled: "No, I misspoke. Even if you put this thing on the Red Dust Hall Master's desk, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it."

"why?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown: "Are these demands too much? Or does Mingde Hall not allow such a thing to happen?"

"...It's not a question of permission or not."

The researcher waved his hands helplessly, like playing an accordion, his voice catching in his throat for a long time before he finally managed to string together a few words: "Let's confirm your requirements again. What you want is a one-to-one armor-style soul tool that can cover your entire body?"

"Ah."

"Then you require this soul tool to be able to operate autonomously under the drive of soul power, just like these experimental tables, to perfectly conform to the body's movements, and to be as lightweight and free as clothing, with a constant internal temperature and selective sound insulation..."

"correct."

"Given the above conditions, this thing needs to have a base level of eight, at least three automatically triggered soul-guided shields, be compatible with the healing bottle function and the system that releases invincible shields without cost, and be able to assemble a large number of auxiliary devices and connect to the aircraft on its back..."

"Yes."

"Besides these, this thing also needs to have modular disassembly and repair capabilities, as well as a large number of spare parts for replacement. It should be able to add storage soul tools to a few parts, and also have a special soul tool that can amplify mental power placed in the head..."

The researcher struggled to continue reading; his lips moved but no words came out. He could only desperately pull at the invisible accordion in his hand.

"Is it difficult?"

Seeing his utterly dejected expression, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but stroke his chin, beginning to reflect on whether his expectations were indeed a bit too high.

But something's not right.
Most of these random items and requirements have already been successfully implemented in production, and he has seen both the finished products and the prototypes... Why not just combine them together?
is that really so difficult?
"Student, this is no longer a question of whether it's difficult or not."

The researcher sighed, "You're trying to incorporate more than half of the soul guidance system into a single finished product. You're trying to combine one-third of the high-end technological achievements of the past ten thousand years."

"If we can do it, we will do everything in our power to complete this ultimate soul tool that can sever history—all the efforts of soul masters over countless years before it were for its creation!"

As he finished reading, the researcher, who was over sixty years old, suddenly trembled, and his hands shook violently with overwhelming excitement, almost causing him to drop the soul-guiding light screen.

The significance of the birth of that thing is even comparable to the birth of the Soul Guidance System!

Is it that difficult?

Huo Yuhao had little experience with soul tools, so he couldn't empathize with the old man, but the old man's almost religious yearning still deeply moved him.

"What if we split it up? We can remove the requirement of integration and change it to a combination similar to a single soul guidance array, right?" After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao crossed out a small part of the requirements and handed the light screen over again.

"As for what we've written so far... everything except energy storage and transmission should be fine. Let's wait a few months, and then we old folks will get Xuan Ziwen involved and study it together."

The researcher adjusted his glasses to calm himself: "At the latest, by the end of this academic year, all the equipment you need will be in place."

'The school year is over~'

Huo Yuhao counted the days and suddenly felt that they were going to be quite long.

By the end of the year, he'll be stuck at level 50, and I wonder what his soul power will be like then.

At that time, he had only been there for six months.

"It seems we won't need this set of equipment when hunting for spirit rings."

Huo Yuhao sighed with some regret, but was interrupted by Tianmeng in his spiritual sea: "No, actually it can be used."

"what?"

"Don't be surprised..."

Tianmeng took a deep breath, glanced back at the Ice and Snow Emperors who were full of encouragement, and made a decision that made Huo Yuhao's expression freeze instantly: "Because you need enough time to prepare the soul core."

Soul, soul core?
"Now?"

Huo Yuhao pointed to himself as if he hadn't heard clearly: "Me, a four-ring Soul Master?"

"Yes."

Tianmeng's expression was more serious than ever before: "Based on our repeated deductions, we have finally come to the same conclusion: your soul power will completely condense the moment you break through level fifty."

"To solve this problem, you need to break through your level after acquiring a spirit ring, and at the same time absorb the spirit ring, as well as... condense a spirit core with an energy level of about seventy to eighty."

"Don't worry, we will lock your soul power level at forty-nine, allowing your physical and mental strength time to grow—during this process, you need to raise both to close to level eighty!"

Only in this way could Huo Yuhao withstand the impact and destruction caused by the soul core erupting from his body.

After all, that was a soul core with near-divine attributes, and its destructive power would definitely be much greater than those soul cores with no attributes or ordinary attributes. If his physical strength couldn't keep up with the requirements, Huo Yuhao would just turn into a fixed-position cannonball on the spot.

"Grow to level 80?"

Huo Yuhao's breath hitched, and for a moment he wondered if Tianmeng had made a mistake in the ranking.

Achieve level 80 in both mental and physical attributes across the four environmental realms!
Looking at the entire history of the continent, I'm afraid there has never been such a magical person before.
Seeing Tianmeng's serious expression, Huo Yuhao slowly regained his composure: "Although I am confident in my own cultivation progress, there is a problem that needs to be solved... My soul power level will hinder the growth of these two attributes."

Without external assistance, all three attributes should move in unison, the only difference being the amount of increase.

However, now that soul power levels are directly restricted, the difficulty of increasing both has increased dramatically.
