Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

"You old codger, I'm not trying to be mean, but someone who's been celibate his whole life has no right to speak on this kind of thing," Wu Yun said, arms crossed, clearly displeased.

"you……"

"Alright, Uncle Cao, stop arguing." Ning Zhiyuan said with a helpless wry smile, which seemed to suggest that he was taking Wu Yun's side.

"Have you seen what Huo Yuhao brought? What do you think of it?"

"I've seen it." The previously silent Ancient Frozen Soil stepped forward. "It can bring an ordinary person's combat strength to at least the Soul Venerable level, and a Soul Master can rival a Soul King when using it. It is truly a revolutionary treasure."

"Didn't the Tang Clan do this kind of thing before?" Old Cao, Cao Zangxin, retorted.

"Old man, now is not the time for you to play dumb. You and I both know that Tang Clan hidden weapons can break through defenses, but as long as we take precautions, their power is not so terrifying." Wu Yun rebuked Cao Zangxin angrily. Ning Zhiyuan helplessly tugged at his wife's clothes, trying to get her to give Cao Zangxin some face.

"But this..."

"Alright, Mr. Cao." Qian Gu Dong Tu put a hand on Cao Zangxin's shoulder. "Even I'm not holding it against you, so try to think more positively."

And so, Cao Zangxin was pulled away from the sect leader's office by the ancient frozen soil.

"Isn't that guy from the Ancient Frozen Land the most feudal and conservative? He used to complain endlessly just about changing the sect's interior decorations?" Wu Yun asked, puzzled, after the two had completely left.

Ning Zhiyuan pulled Wu Yun's slender waist into his arms and pressed his face against her lower abdomen...

Faced with this sudden frivolousness, Wu Yun immediately punched the head of this old frivolous man who had taken her by the age of fifteen.

"Everyone's moral bottom line is flexible when it comes to their own interests, let alone just this one philosophy of life," Ning Zhiyuan said seriously, carrying a large bag on his head.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced at a piece of intelligence sent by a spy on the table. It clearly stated that the White Tiger Duke had two illegitimate sons, Dai Yuhao and Dai Luoli.

A year has passed.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has undergone tremendous changes, or it could be said that nothing has changed at all.

Outside, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School remains the same, unchanged.

Inside, or more precisely, underground.

A soul-guided factory is operating at full capacity, with soul masters wearing soul-guided engineering mechs or soul-guided exoskeletons moving around like ants in this giant steel anthill.

Those carrying supply boxes are worker ants, and those carrying soul-guided rifles are soldier ants.

Ning Zhiyuan never expected that Huo Yuhao could build such a large-scale soul guidance factory for him within a year, capable of accommodating five thousand engineering mecha engineers working at the same time.

Benjamin, on the other hand, scoffed at Ning Zhiyuan's narrow-mindedness.

These were just minor incidents to him; in his homeland, an entire planet could be transformed into a mechanical factory.

However, it started much faster than Benjamin Sun's hometown in terms of industry. With Soul Masters, who are born superhumans, they don't know how to make use of them. Where are the people of Douluo Continent putting their brains?

Besides Ning Zhiyuan, Di Tian, ​​who had also come here, was also shocked by this.

He never expected that in the short time it took him to take a nap, humans would come up with so many things that he couldn't understand.

He was kneeling on one knee in Na'er's room, pleading for Na'er's return.

"Di Tian, ​​you don't need to worry about me. I saw something in the human who caused all this that many soul beasts don't have." Na'er was completely different from her usual innocent and cute self; her eyes revealed a coldness.

She sat on her bed with her legs crossed, exuding an indescribable queenly aura even in her bear-patterned pajamas.

"Now that I am an inner disciple of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, I am certain that I can learn the highest techniques from humans and then defeat them."

Di Tian's body relaxed, his eyes filled with unspeakable desolation. "Understood, subordinate."

"Hmm." Seeing Di Tian's reply, Na'er jumped off the bed and patted Di Tian's shoulder. "Di Tian knows me, and I know Di Tian."

"But at least let me take the auspicious beast back. She's useless here. If she's discovered, she has no way to protect herself under a Title Douluo."

Upon hearing Di Tian's suggestion, Na'er's eyes darted away.

She didn't want that big-mouthed mythical beast to return to the Star Dou Great Forest; that would be terrible.

During the period when he inexplicably lost his memory, he was tricked by a mythical beast into playing the role of a fool for a month until he regained some of his language abilities.

Moreover, during that period, most of the food that came to us ended up in the mouths of the mythical beasts, and we often only got half a steamed bun.

This is something I absolutely cannot say, even if it means death.

Na'er is now seriously considering how to make the mythical beast lose its memory. Should she beat it up?

Na'er couldn't make a decision for a long time. Even just by looking at those pink and white little feet, Di Tianguang could feel his master's struggle.

It wasn't because Di Tian was lustful that she was staring at her feet; it was because she was in a subordinate position and had to be absolutely loyal to her.

Another point is that Di Tian likes people like Bi Ji and Zi Ji, which is normal aesthetic.

"My lord, is there a problem?"

Seeing that Na'er was hesitant to make up her mind, Di Tian finally spoke up with difficulty, presumptuously.

"No, not really. I think the auspicious beast can learn a lot here too. After she learns, she can assist me. After all, I've realized during this time that the power of a soul beast is ultimately weak."

"I see."

Di Tian recalled what he had seen and heard along the way and wholeheartedly agreed with the Silver Dragon King's suggestion to learn human knowledge, after all, there were so many good things to learn.

Moreover, as the god of wisdom among the soul beast race, he will surely be able to surpass human knowledge by learning from it.

"Well, since you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave."

"Yes."

Di Tian responded and immediately vanished without a trace.

"Na'er, it's time to go see Yuhao." Ning Tian's voice came from outside the door.

"Coming, coming," Na'er responded immediately, changed her clothes, and followed her out.

She looked at Ning Tian with those pure eyes, and was led away from her residence by the hand.

When Di Tian, ​​who hadn't gone far, saw this scene, an absurd idea popped into his head.

Is the Soul Beast race doomed?

After swiping the access card to unlock Huo Yuhao's room, they saw Huo Yuhao sitting on a high stool, leaning over the table drawing mecha blueprints.

Na'er suddenly saw a man's shadowy figure appear in front of her, pointing at Huo Yuhao's picture with his finger, as if a teacher was pointing out a student's mistake.

As if noticing Na'er's arrival, the man turned around and looked over, raising his finger to shush Na'er.

"What's wrong, Na'er? Did you stay up too late last night in your soul guidance class?" Ning Tian asked, looking at Na'er who was rubbing her eyes.

"Hmm, I think I just saw things."

Na'er scratched her head in confusion. She remembered that she seemed to have seen something just now. With her status as the Silver Dragon King, she shouldn't have such a thing as forgetting things.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao seemed to sense something and stopped writing, letting out a long breath as if to express his exhaustion.

He turned to the two of them and smiled, "You've arrived. Find a place to sit."

Ning Tian nodded and led Na'er to a place to sit down in the spacious and simple laboratory.
