Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 54 Dream of the Mortal World: Laugh, is this a pure angst novel?

The following day, Huo Yuhao successfully designed the artwork for the bomb gun - Buddha's Fury Lotus version and began making its dedicated bombs.

"Yuhao, is this soul tool you made more useful than 'making fire lotuses on the way to battle'?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't understand what Huo Yuhao was drawing, and felt that it would be simpler and more efficient to prepare the Buddha's Fury Lotus in advance and throw it directly at the enemy's face upon arrival.

"It's not that one is better than the other, it's just that it adds another attack method on top of the fire lotus in advance."

Huo Yuhao gave an explanation and then focused intently on making the Fire Lotus Bomb.

After studying the introductory materials on soul-guiding arrays, I selected a few pieces of metal and tried to inscribe several basic, simple arrays according to the diagrams in the materials.

Electrolux smiled gently: "Yuhao, you should familiarize yourself with the engraving route first. I can help you control the depth of the engraving."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao began to inscribe.

With Elder Yi's assistance, he felt more at ease, even though he didn't know if he had inherited Huo Gua's talent for soul tools.

I don't know how many times I practiced until I successfully inscribed a simple magic circle.

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief after injecting a wisp of soul power and finding that it could be successfully activated.

"Old Master Yi, this time it's a success."

The ordinary metal used for practice has strange patterns on its engravings, with a faint golden glow flowing from the beginning to the end of the engravings, marking the success of this core magic circle.

Old Yi nodded slowly: "Once you've mastered it, then proceed with the engraving on the titanium."

Huo Yuhao practiced dozens more times, inscribing the basic simplified magic arrays of "Stabilization, Advancement, and Explosion".

Having gained sufficient confidence, he took out titanium that had been refined through repeated tempering.

After being forged, the titanium's overall resistance was significantly improved, and he began to inscribe the foundation of the magic array used to contain and compress the Buddha's Wrathful Lotus.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, concentrated intently, and slowly carved marks on the titanium.

Although I've read the original novel, the actual experience is completely different. It seems that any weapon, even one at the level of Deus Ex, can exist in Douluo Continent as long as there are materials and a bunch of principles written out in a framework!

As metal fragments fell away one by one, a lotus-shaped metal flower with a strange luster and a translucent texture appeared on the lab table.

Looking at the exquisite little lotus-shaped metal, Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Finally finished. After I finish kneading the fire lotus, I should try to compress it inside to form special ammunition for the explosive gun."

Electrolux's senses swept over the lotus-shaped metal, and he chuckled as he gave his assessment.

"The refined titanium, combined with the basic core magic array, should be able to support the Buddha's Fury Lotus, which possesses the ultimate power of a Soul Venerable."

"Yuhao, when you release a wisp of Bone Spirit Cold Fire and a wisp of Purple Fire respectively, use cold air to envelop their respective flame energies."

The purpose of this is to ensure that the internal structure of the metal is not damaged during the compression process to form the ammunition.

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Okay, Elder Yi, I'll start rubbing the Fire Lotus now."

He consumed several Soul-Returning Pills and, while rubbing the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, released his second Martial Soul, using icy energy to envelop it.

Two streams of energy, one snow-white and one purple, slowly flowed into the lotus-shaped titanium.

"Pay attention to using your mental power to adjust the trajectory of the two flame energies, so that they can precisely form a fire lotus inside the metal," Elder Yi reminded him.

In fact, as long as the metal can withstand the pressure, it's essentially like introducing the Buddha's wrathful lotus into the metal, which isn't too difficult to do.

Huo Yuhao focused intently on drawing upon the energy of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the Purple Flame, slowly condensing them into a fire lotus within the titanium.

A moment later, within the translucent metal, the energies of the two flames could be clearly seen intertwining inside, transforming into a small fire lotus within the metal.

The moment the internal fire lotus formed, the aura emanating from the metal underwent a tremendous change.

The titanium, after being refined through a hundred forgings, seemed to instantly generate enormous energy, completely filling the entire metal. Invisible rings of heat were faintly visible, as if it could explode at any moment.

A white and purple lotus flower floats in the translucent titanium.

"Ha, I've finally finished the special ammunition for the Fire Lotus version of the bomb gun."

Huo Yuhao excitedly picked up the small metal fire lotus bomb: "The core magic array and the fire lotus bomb are both ready."

"Next, all we need to do is use the refined titanium to create the metal casing and parts for the bomb gun, assemble them, and then we can master the new bombing tricks of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus."

This lotus trick, even with its weakened power, can still pose a fatal threat to a high-level Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao arrived at a soul-guided instrument used for processing and took out a stack of blueprints for a bomb gun.

Several hours later, the outer shell of the bomb gun and its internal parts were continuously manufactured under the machining of the lathe.

Huo Yuhao suppressed his excitement: "Assemble it, then fill it with the Fire Lotus Bomb."

Assemble all the parts.

The metal body, stock, and heavy metal barrel of the bomb gun are perfectly suited for firing the Fire Lotus bomb.

Before long, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus version of the bomb gun was completely completed.

The core magic arrays he inscribed were all level one, capable of holding a total of three Fire Lotus Bombs.

"Haha, it worked! As expected, for me, as long as I dare to think and act, the gears of fate will always turn in my favor."

Huo Yuhao filled the fire lotus bomb he had made earlier into the gun, and the bomb gun in his hand hummed and shook slightly, and he could feel a strong energy fluctuation.

The bomb gun was quite heavy, but Huo Yuhao, who wielded the Xuan Heavy Ruler as his weapon, seemed not to notice it at all.

He then refined some titanium through repeated forging and, following the previous method, produced two Fire Lotus Bombs, which he then filled into the bomb gun.

"Yuhao, are you saying that our Buddha's Wrath Lotus tactics are about to be upgraded?"

The excited voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm rang in Huo Yuhao's mind, making him sigh that the human mindset for developing technology was something that soul beasts could never compare to.

"Yuhao's idea, from its inception to its implementation, has always been unique and cannot be generalized to all of humanity."

Xue Di appeared outside Huo Yuhao's body in a mental mimicry form and calmly expressed her views.

"Tianmeng, to be precise, should only have our favored candidate for godhood, Yuhao. His potential is so great that even I am amazed, and no other human can compare to him."

Tianmeng Bingcan chuckled: "That's true. The fact that we and Senior Yi were able to be in Yuhao's spiritual sea is unprecedented in the history of the continent."

Xue Di looked at Huo Yuhao quietly, her sky-blue eyes calm and composed, and praised him softly.

"Yuhao, your performance has far surpassed that of the Memory Orb at the same time. Perhaps you really can pursue a higher level of godhood."

Huo Yuhao revealed a bright smile: "Snow Empress, you invested your entire fortune in me back then, so I have to take a more intense approach."

He picked up the bomb gun with one hand, looked it over for a while, and was very satisfied with his work.

Although it is currently only a level one soul tool, its destructive power when firing the Fire Lotus Bomb is enough to threaten a Soul Master, making it more than capable of being compared to a level three soul tool cannon.

"Brother Tianmeng, the tactics of Buddha's Wrath Lotus cannot be considered an advanced technique."

"If you need to unleash the highest burst damage in an instant, you can use the previous tactics to prepare the Fire Lotus in advance."

"The combat tricks of the new bomb gun are usually used for continuous burst damage, or if the fire lotus you just prepared didn't kill the enemy, you can take out the bomb gun and fire a few more fire lotuses."

We can now fire three Fire Lotus Bombs, which is enough, considering that it's only a level one soul tool and the metal is only at the level of 100-fold refining.

As the core magic array level increases and the quality of the metal improves to the level of Thousand Refinement and Spirit Refinement, the number of Fire Lotus Bombs that can be filled will naturally increase.

Similarly, the power of the Fire Lotus Bomb will continue to increase.

Tianmeng Bingcan's tone remained excited: "This is great, this is great. Using a bomb gun to supplement damage completely makes up for the occasional weakness of being seriously injured by enemies who escape."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. If they encountered the Grim Reaper again, the other party would definitely not be able to escape.

If the Buddha's Wrath Lotus doesn't kill him instantly, use the bomb gun to fire a few more. Moreover, the fire lotus bombs fired from the bomb gun will be faster than if he throws the fire lotus manually.

If one could master some kind of spatial power, there would be no need to manually throw the fire lotus.

Using spatial power, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus appears directly on the enemy's face.

So from this perspective, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus and the power of space are quite a good match. Since we've already thought of this, shouldn't we arrange his fortune in the future?

After resting for a while, Huo Yuhao put the bomb gun he had made into his storage soul tool and went out to find Xu Sheng's laboratory.

"Teacher Xu Sheng, I have finished making the soul tool, and we can start the assessment now."

After obtaining the other party's consent, Huo Yuhao entered Xu Sheng's laboratory.

Xu Sheng was taken aback: "So fast? Did Meng and Xiao make it for you?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and thought of an explanation: "Teacher Xu, as you know, I was once the illegitimate son of the patriarch of a minor noble family in Xingluo. I have some understanding of soul tools since I was a child."

"This is a keepsake left to me by my mother." As he spoke, a faint glow appeared in his eyes, and he took out the White Tiger Dagger, whose appearance could be altered through simulation.

"In addition, I possess the Spirit Eye Martial Soul and have a little talent in soul tools, so I can learn the basics relatively quickly."

The real reason: Master Yi, a master of weapon crafting, personally taught him the entire process.

Xu Sheng glanced at the dagger in Huo Yuhao's hand, comforted him for a while, and then said with a smile, "This dagger is not of low quality even in the other three kingdoms."

Judging from Huo Yuhao's speed in mastering the basics, it was clear that he had an extraordinary talent for soul tools. Xu Sheng laughed heartily twice.

"Haha, Yuhao, since that's the case, I'll take you to the assessment site now."

The two left the laboratory, and Xu Sheng first took Huo Yuhao to find Jing Hongchen to tell the hall master the good news.

……

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, entrance examination venue.

In the stands, Meng Hongchen sipped her drink, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and said with a grin, "Brother, Yuhao successfully created a level one soul tool in just one night, even Grandpa was alarmed just now."

"Meng, you need to know when my brother and I became first-level Soul Masters."

Xiao Hongchen was not discouraged and said leisurely, "We awakened our martial souls at the age of six, obtained our first soul rings at the age of seven, and became first-level soul masters at the age of eight."

"As for Yuhao, it is undeniable that he does have some talent, but he has only become a first-level Soul Master now."

Meng Hongchen blinked: "But brother, it took you almost a year to become a first-level soul master, while Yuhao only took one night."

Xiao Hongchen felt a pang of jealousy inside, but outwardly remained perfectly calm: "Meng, how can you be so sure that Yuhao hasn't used a soul tool before?"

Meng Hongchen smiled and didn't refute him. Her brother, who was trying to appear calm, was much more pleasing to the eye.

"Hey bro, did you see the comic Yuhao made for you? My ruthless senior sister is pretty good-looking. In the end, she lived a sweet and happy life with her beloved junior brother."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant, and he felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.

"Splat!"

He crushed the drink bottle in his hand: "Damn it, Yuhao tricked me! The female tenant of the Six-Ring Soul Emperor is not happy at all, it's pure angst!"

Xiao Hongchen asked his sister for another drink. With each sip, he looked sentimental and then sighed slowly.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen arrived with Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, I heard you spent the whole night making soul tools last night."

Meng Hongchen ran up to Huo Yuhao in a few steps and took out a few pills from her pocket: "These pills have the effect of refreshing the mind and nourishing spiritual power."

She gave a sweet smile: "I found them on the ground under my brother's clothes rack. Anyway, you don't need them, so you can eat them without worry."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen knew that his sister had taken a few of his pills without side effects and given them to Huo Yuhao when he wasn't looking, but he didn't care.

"I, Xiao Hongchen, am rich and powerful, and I don't need these few pills. Consider them a gift to you."

He then strode over to Huo Yuhao and whispered in his ear, "Um... Yuhao, is there a pure love version of 'The Six-Ring Soul Emperor's Female Tenant'?"

"Yes, there is, but it's quite troublesome to weave," Huo Yuhao replied with a smile.

Xiao Hongchen knew it was time to add the elixir, but Huo Yuhao said they would wait until he passed the test.

Xuan Ziwen followed behind Jing Hongchen and sensed something was wrong. Only one night had passed, and Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen's relationship had developed so well.

There's a growing sense that they're becoming closely associated with Mingdetang.

He put his arm around Xu Sheng's neck, slowly increasing the pressure, a glint of light flashing on the lenses of his glasses, and asked in a deep voice.

"Old Xu, you haven't done anything to wrong me, have you?"

Xu Sheng shook his head, stating confidently, "No, I was just helping Yuhao with the normal enrollment procedures."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already entered the assessment area and pulled out his Buddha Fury Lotus version of the bomb gun.

Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened in surprise. "What kind of soul-guided ray gun is this? Why is the barrel caliber so large!"
