Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, I will never die in a battlefield.

Chapter 72 Technological Monopoly: Controlling Shrek

Huo Yuhao spoke the last sentence to Elder Mu.

He believed that even Elder Mu would not be able to resist the temptation of what Huo Yuhao had just said.

Although Elder Mu did not have many years left to live, he had already seen through many things. However, this did not mean that Elder Mu was completely without desires. There were still things that Elder Mu cared about.

Firstly, there is Shrek Academy; secondly, there is his junior, Bei Bei.

As the senior brother of his previous life, Huo Yuhao knew that Bei Bei's Holy Dragon bloodline was in an unstable state. If it weren't for Elder Mu using his own essence to help Bei Bei awaken his bloodline before his death, it would be unknown whether Bei Bei could have advanced to Soul Emperor before the second Soul Master Competition.

Now, with an artificial soul ring that can guide the evolution of a martial soul, and one that is absolutely compatible with it, Huo Yuhao believes that even Elder Mu would be tempted.

As expected, as soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Elder Mu, who had been keeping his head slightly lowered as if he were resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A glint of light flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes as he met Huo Yuhao's gaze.

Seeing Elder Mu's reaction, Huo Yuhao smiled, then looked at the group of martial spirit system members in the distance and the group of elders beside him, his expression even more satisfied.

"Excuse me, Vice Dean Tianmeng, but I'd like to ask if you can confirm that such an 'artificial spirit ring' can guide the evolution of a martial spirit? And that it won't cause malignant mutations?"

The question was raised by Yan Shaozhe. To be honest, just listening to what Huo Yuhao said made him so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Martial Soul evolution! What does this mean? It means more geniuses! A stronger foundation! Shrek Academy will become even more powerful!

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited!

In particular, after Yan Shaozhe thought about it carefully, he realized that this kind of "artificial spirit ring" that could be used to evolve other people's martial spirits was most suitable for Shrek Academy!

The high-ranking members of Shrek Academy, especially the elders and titled Douluo present, all possess top-notch martial soul quality and soul power quality!

This is foundation! The foundation of the continent's number one academy! It's unmatched by any other force!

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe's gaze towards Huo Yuhao inexplicably became intense, completely forgetting that when he first arrived, he was thinking about how to restrict Huo Yuhao.

Amidst the expressions of Yan Shaozhe and the others present, Huo Yuhao smiled calmly and spoke softly:

"cannot."

The entire room fell silent.

Yan Shaozhe frowned unconsciously and asked, "Why did Vice Dean Tian Meng say so much that day?"

However, in response to Yan Shaozhe's words, Huo Yuhao continued to say to himself, "Who can guarantee 100% success in the evolution of a martial soul?"

"Even if the child is born to a couple who are both innate level 10 soul power and both have the cultivation level of titled Douluo, can you be 100% sure that the child is exceptionally talented?"

"What if that child has a congenital half-level soul power? Or what if their martial soul has undergone a malignant mutation? Although the possibility of such a thing is not high, how rare has it been in history?"

"Leaving aside recent examples, let's talk about something from further back. Yu Xiaogang, one of the creators of Shrek Academy and the teacher of the original Shrek Seven Devils, was only at the half-level of innate soul power. Heh, if it weren't for a fortunate opportunity, he would probably be stuck at level 29 and unable to make any progress, right?"

These obviously disrespectful words caused a noticeable change in the expressions of everyone present, but when they thought about what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest a few days ago, they suddenly felt that it made much more sense.

This "Master Tianmeng" hasn't been with Shrek Academy for very long, and a sense of belonging hasn't been cultivated before this incident. Clearly, he's developed some distrust of Shrek Academy, which is why he deliberately said those things.

Everyone present was trying to find excuses and a way out for Huo Yuhao in their minds.

Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao's already limited goodwill towards Huo Yuhao diminished even further.

Ha. It's truly rotten.

Huo Yuhao was very disappointed. To be honest, even if just one person stood up and said that Huo Yuhao was "disrespectful to his ancestors," Huo Yuhao would have thought more highly of Shrek Academy.

Please, everyone else is cursing your ancestors, and you're still weighing the pros and cons and thinking about gains and losses?

Clearly, in their eyes, the face of their ancestors was not important; what was more important was the "glory of Shrek" in their hearts!

Huo Yuhao truly found the distorted and corrupt leadership disgusting.

Suppressing his emotions, Huo Yuhao became even more determined to dismember Shrek Academy and use the resulting energy to power his Spirit Pagoda.

He wasn't sure he could do better, but at least he wouldn't do worse.

After giving everyone a final moment of shock and reflection, Huo Yuhao continued:

"Of course, the research on this technology has encountered a bottleneck. Currently, the limit is 99,999 years of soul rings."

"At the same time, the loss of soul power is very large in this process. According to calculations, it takes at least the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo to condense a 'attribute soul ring' of ten thousand years."

"Those with a lifespan exceeding 30,000 years must be at the Title Douluo level. As for the ultimate 99,999 years, one would probably need to be at least level 98 or higher."

Huo Yuhao spoke softly about the fake restrictions he had set up, but clearly, despite the restrictions, the people in front of him remained excited and enthusiastic.

"But the good news is..."

Huo Yuhao changed the subject, speaking lightly:

"I've already managed to produce some of the earliest, more common 'artificial spirit rings' that are at the 100,000-year level."

In an instant, the air became completely silent.

At this moment, even the Soul Guidance Department members who had been tricked into signing contracts and becoming tools to help build his Spirit Pagoda were looking at Huo Yuhao with shock!

No, it's not the boss! It's not in the script!!!

Xian Lin'er and the others originally thought that this meeting was because Huo Yuhao couldn't stand Elder Xuan's negligent personality and wanted to teach him a lesson.

But how did a "100,000-year-old artificial soul ring" suddenly appear out of nowhere?! Isn't that absurd?!

"Um, Vice Dean Tianmeng, is what you said true?"

Yan Shaozhe was the first to speak. He had completely forgotten his original purpose and now his mind was filled with thoughts of a 100,000-year-old artificial soul ring.

"If you don't believe me, stay here and I'll show you." Huo Yuhao said calmly, then paused and looked at Zhang Lexuan, who was sitting at the end of the table.

"If that still doesn't work, I can give her a 100,000-year artificial soul ring to absorb. It's an eighth-level 100,000-year soul ring, and the soul skill is perfectly compatible. That should be pretty good."

Everyone fell silent again. In the short ten minutes since the meeting began, they had been repeatedly shocked to the point of being speechless!

Is this some kind of outrageous nonsense?!

Faced with the shock that everyone was trying so hard to hide, Huo Yuhao once again revealed a satisfied smile.

Indeed, technological monopoly is the best way to control others!
