Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Gu Xuanying grinned and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm bored anyway, let's get started now."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao suppressed his desire to check out the new abilities and began to absorb the knowledge seriously.

"What do you think elements are?" Gu Xuanying asked.

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said, "Elements are the cornerstone of the world, the foundation upon which the world is built."

“That’s not wrong, but once you comprehend the laws, you’ll feel even more strongly that the elements are the manifestation of the laws in the material world,” Gu Xuanying offered another definition.

"If the life essence of a living organism does not reach a certain level, it will be unable to touch the intangible and intangible laws. The elements provide a ladder for weak life forms, allowing them to climb along the elements and thus touch the essence of the laws."

"Therefore, what you need to do with elements is not to control them with soul power or mental power, but to learn to perceive them, understand their manifestations, changes, and reactions, trace their essence, and analyze their origins. At that time, you will find that the elements will cooperate with your soul power and mental power on their own without your intervention."

191. Chapter 191 New ability, one-time ability?

191.

Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully, roughly understanding what Gu Xuanying meant.

But how should he understand and perceive the elements?

As if guessing Huo Yuhao's doubts, Gu Qingming parted her lips slightly and said in a light and gentle voice:

"Next, we will teach you how to comprehend the water and fire elements. As for the other elements, we can only give you some simple guidance."

Huo Yuhao listened attentively to their stories with a calm expression. Gu Qingming spoke slowly and clearly, while Gu Xuanying demonstrated frequently to make it easier for Huo Yuhao to understand.

"Whether you are a soul beast or a human, soul skills are always the most direct and convenient way to comprehend the elements, and the soul skills that the two of us have given you are the most convenient tools for you to comprehend the elements."

Huo Yuhao pondered that Gu Xuanying and Gu Qingming's soul rings each provided him with two soul skills, and they were quite similar.

One of his soul skills is the control of water and fire elements, and the other is the descent of the laws of water and fire.

Two purely supportive soul skills. The first soul skill allows him to learn any soul skill related to water, ice, or fire elements, and lowers the learning threshold. As long as his comprehension is sufficient, he can learn any soul skill related to water, fire, or ice without being restricted by his martial soul.

He can learn soul skills such as the Ice Blast Technique of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan and the Eternal Frozen Domain of the Ice Emperor.

The second soul skill law descended, and this one was even more useful. It allowed Huo Yuhao to invoke the law to attach to the soul skill, greatly increasing the attack power of the soul skill, making it almost a divine skill.

The divine skills of those gods actually utilize the laws, so they are not on the same level as soul skills. This soul skill, however, gives Huo Yuhao's water and fire attribute soul skills some of the power of divine skills.

However, using the Soul Skill "Law Descent" requires extremely high physical attributes, so he can only use it as a trump card.

Gu Qingming continued, "From now on, besides meditation, your cultivation will involve observing and learning other people's ice, water, and fire attribute soul skills. This is the first stage of your comprehension of the elements."

"Your other martial soul is the Spirit Eye, which can make your learning path twice as effective."

"Next, I will start learning other people's soul skills." Huo Yuhao nodded.

Fortunately, this is an academy, and there are quite a few soul masters with water, fire, and ice elemental abilities. He knows of Ma Xiaotao, Wu Ming, Ling Luochen, and others. He will first learn the soul skills of the students in the academy. If he wants to learn more later, he will have to go to the soul beast settlement area.

Huo Yuhao felt that he had embarked on the path of copying Soul Masters.

After listening to Gu Xuanying and Gu Qingming's stories, the two women returned to their own palaces, which they had created using their spiritual power, while Huo Yuhao began to examine the newly refreshed abilities.

[Universal Research Assistant (EX): A one-time skill, an all-purpose research assistant. Set your research objective, invest certain knowledge and materials, and you can achieve your desired goal by spending willpower. Note: The higher the relevance of the invested knowledge and materials to your research objective, and the more complete the knowledge, the less willpower is required.]

Huo Yuhao was surprised to learn that this was the first time he had ever seen a one-time skill, and this ability was not even fixed in a specific task.

Moreover, this skill is quite unique, with a very high ceiling and a very low floor, depending entirely on what you want to research.

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and decided to test the willpower required for this ability.

How much willpower would it take to develop the Mysterious Heaven Skill?

[A tiny bit of red-level wish power.]

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but complain, "I can extract an ability that surpasses this world with just a bit of red-level wish power, is researching the Mysterious Heaven Technique really that expensive?"

Please do not question the pricing. Although the Mysterious Heaven Technique is low-level, it originates from outside this world. The God-King of this world could not create such a cultivation method, so it requires a small amount of Red-level Willpower.

Huo Yuhao didn't know what to say, he could only say that the cultivation methods in the Douluo World were really outdated.

He then poured the Mysterious Heaven Skill he had taken from Tang San into it, asking, "How much willpower will it take now?"

[A little bit of Yellow-level willpower.]

"Why do we still need willpower? You swindler!" Huo Yuhao cursed.

To initiate research, at least one Yellow-level Willpower is required.

“Alright.” Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, resting his chin on his hand. “How much willpower would it take to create a cultivation method that allows one to cultivate spiritual power, physical body, and soul power, and also to cultivate with others and improve together?”

Please specify the level to which this cultivation technique can be practiced.

"It is possible to cultivate to the level of God King or above, and everyone can cultivate."

[Minimum Red-level Wish Power.]

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then focused on the Mysterious Heaven Technique and looked at the price.

[Minimum two points of Black-level Willpower.]

Huo Yuhao continued to immerse himself in all the knowledge he knew, watching the price change, but the price remained unchanged.

In other words, his other knowledge was of little use in creating the technique.

Having learned about the cultivation method, Huo Yuhao began to explore other things.

"How much willpower would it take to research and develop a method for manufacturing battle armor?"

[A tiny bit of dark-level wish power.]

"So expensive?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise. "Battle armor is only useful for those below the god level, and at most it can evolve into a divine artifact, so why is it so expensive?"

[This is the price for researching and creating the method of battle armor from scratch. It took generations of humankind's accumulated knowledge to create the method of battle armor. If one person were to research and create it from nothing, it would be impossible for anyone but a god to accomplish this.]

Huo Yuhao's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. He now understood the pricing pattern of this research assistant. His price was roughly based on the level of people required to conduct the research.

Having guessed this, Huo Yuhao put all his knowledge of soul tools, martial souls, and forging into it, and saw that the price of the battle armor manufacturing method was reduced to one point of purple-level wish power.

Huo Yuhao continued the experiment.

How much willpower would it take to discover a method for humans to condense their own soul rings?

[A tiny bit of red-level wish power.]

Huo Yuhao invested his knowledge about spirit rings, spirit beasts, and souls, and the price dropped to two points of black-level wish power.

He felt that if he could capture a few soul beasts, especially a transformed soul beast like Xiao Wu, and throw them in as experimental subjects, the price could plummet.

"How much willpower is needed to perfect the art of the soul?"

[A tiny bit of red-level wish power]

Huo Yuhao infused Electrolux's memories, along with knowledge about soul beasts, soul rings, and martial souls, causing the price to plummet to two points of purple-level wish power.

After repeated testing, Huo Yuhao understood the function of this ability, and he began to think about how to use this opportunity.

He can't keep this ability to himself forever; he needs to use it as soon as possible to unlock the next one.

He currently possesses two points of purple-level willpower, limiting the scope of his research.

The most useful items are battle armor, soul spirits, and cultivation techniques.

Of course, he can only choose to study cultivation techniques up to the level of a God-King, otherwise his willpower will still be insufficient.

So, what exactly should we be researching?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 192. The Rift Between Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin

192.

Battle armor can greatly enhance one's strength. The highest level of battle armor is five-word battle armor; each additional word increases the user's strength by one level.

However, the research assistants only received knowledge. Huo Yuhao still needed to learn and master this knowledge. Manufacturing battle armor required learning forging, mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair. It was unknown how long it would take to make the battle armor.

As for researching cultivation techniques, if he can only reach the God-King level, he might as well just cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique directly.

So, is the best option to study the method of creating souls?

He was going to the Star Dou Great Forest to find the auspicious beast and the Silver Dragon King in exactly one week, so choosing the Soul Spirit Creation Method seemed to be the best option to win over the Soul Beast Clan.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao thought of another option for this research assistant.

"How much willpower would it take for me to heal the Silver Dragon King?"

[A tiny bit of red-level wish power.]

"This doesn't make sense. The Silver Dragon King's injuries were caused by the Asura God, whose power is at most at the God-King level. Why would it need a bit of Red-level willpower?"

[Your strength is too weak. Only a power above the God-King level can find a way to heal the Silver Dragon King.]

Huo Yuhao fell silent. Although he admitted that his strength was currently weak, could he not say it so bluntly? Couldn't he have been a little more tactful?

"Then what is the method for the Silver Dragon King to heal himself, the kind that works immediately?"

[A tiny bit of dark-level wish power.]

Seeing the price drop so much, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. He started adding all his knowledge into the price, but the price didn't decrease at all.
