Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 60 Oranges: Huo Yuhao's Big Connections

Seeing her younger sister's dangerously sweet smile, secretly warning her that if she dared to embezzle even a little of Huo Yuhao's patent fees, she would immediately transform into "Poisonous Brother Dream."

Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched involuntarily, and he felt utterly miserable.

Oh no, we haven't known each other for very long, and my sister has already fallen for this guy's good looks.

Yuhao's importance in Meng's heart is almost as great as that of his older brother.

Huo Yuhao carefully considered the ownership of the forging and refining patents, and finally decided to give a portion of the patents to Mingdetang in addition to his own share.

Xu Sheng was quite concerned about the seedlings of Sun and Moon that he had brought back. He consulted with Huo Yuhao for a while and slowly nodded: "It's good to let Mingdetang own some of the patents. This will provide an extra layer of strong protection."

"Moreover, the sect leader himself decided to develop forging technology. As long as he owns a small number of patents, it would be more reasonable for him to implement certain measures."

Upon hearing about the patent allocation, Meng Hongchen asked with delight, "Yuhao, will I also have a portion of the patent for this hundred-refinement purification technology?"

"Well, after all, if this forging industry is to truly develop and make a name for itself, it definitely needs your help."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. Even if he could keep all the patents by himself, he would only get more gold soul coins.

It would be better to give a portion to Mingdetang, thus strengthening the bond between them.

Meng Hongchen asked her brother for his pocket money card, waved it and said with a smile, "Yuhao, you've already shared my patent, so your older sister will also use pocket money, as a friendly donation to you."

Xiao Hongchen's heart skipped a beat, but it wasn't because of the pocket money issue.

But in that instant, he thought of something much deeper.

My younger sister now shares her allowance with Yuhao.

In the future, if their relationship progresses further, the brother and sister will inherit half of Mingdetang from their grandfather.

Doesn't that mean that if they share pocket money now, in the future, the younger sister and Yuhao will share a quarter of Mingdetang?!

After thinking it over, Xiao Hongchen felt that it made perfect sense.

He patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, thinking he was a cunning little boy, and with his eyes slightly narrowed, he slowly said something with a deeper meaning.

"Yuhao, you're definitely not as innocent as you seem."

Xiao Hongchen felt that Huo Yuhao had taken a very bold step by dividing the patent.

Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance, feeling slightly puzzled, unsure of what Xiao Hongchen meant.

"Brother Xiao, I've used my mental detection to assist you in firing so many rounds of shots; that's already been sincere enough, isn't it? How about from now on, Brother Xiao, you rely on your own perseverance and effort to fire the shots?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes that made Xiao Hongchen panic.

"That's right, bro. Yuhao shares his patent fees with us, and I'll give him some pocket money to help him out. It's perfectly reasonable."

Meng Hongchen tilted her head, her eyes questioning the meaning of Xiao Hongchen's words.

Xiao Hongchen hurriedly tried to preserve his spiritual nourishment. After today's collaborative experiment with Huo Yuhao, he felt that he could no longer live without the other's spiritual detection.

"Yes, that makes sense, very reasonable. It's just that I haven't switched my thinking yet."

He suddenly felt that Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen might become a relationship that he couldn't readily accept at the moment, and it would be reasonable for him to share a quarter of Mingde Hall with his sister.

Xu Sheng then took Huo Yuhao and the others to register the patent.

Even if only a small number of Mingde Hall's research talents master the hundred-fold refining technique and use this technology to make soul tools, it could still bring Huo Yuhao a huge fortune.

……

Inside a private advanced laboratory at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

This is Xuan Ziwen's private laboratory. He sits at the lab table, looking at the screen of the soul tool in his hand.

"Xu Sheng is quite efficient; he uploaded Yuhao's bomb gun so quickly."

Xuan Ziwen now completely understands that the fact that Huo Yuhao was personally greeted by the Red Dust Hall Master when he brought him to Mingdu was definitely due to some underhanded tactics by Xu Sheng.

He was supposed to be his disciple, but now he's become the head of the hall's disciple, and there's even a trend of him becoming the grandson-in-law.

In the laboratory, several of Xuan Ziwen's students are studying the core magic array.

"Hey Orange, when did this cute little boy appear? How did he suddenly get into the top 30 of the creativity list? He's about to surpass me."

In front of a lab table near the corner of the back row.

A girl wearing thin-rimmed glasses sat with another pretty girl, whispering to each other.

The two girls, Ju Zi and Ke Ke, were speculating about Huo Yuhao's portrait on the Soul Guidance Screen.

After marveling at and being surprised by Huo Yuhao's good looks, Ju Zi gently adjusted her glasses and began to analyze the situation in a low voice.

"Keke, several teachers voted for him. Maybe this boy named Huo Yuhao is a relative."

"But Orange, all of these students in our lab have connections."

Keke seemed to be deep in thought. This list serves as an important basis for Mingdetang to select talents. Since its inception, the dean has had zero tolerance for vote-buying behavior.

Therefore, everyone follows the rules.

It's easy to tell whether someone is soliciting votes, given the inherent quality of the soul tool. If there are any doubts, the teachers can check it at any time.

If the test confirms vote-buying behavior, then his days at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are over.

Orange whispered, "I didn't mean to solicit votes, but Huo Yuhao may have made a new breakthrough in his soul tool overnight with the help of several teachers."

"I came up with a really good idea and successfully made the Soul Tool, breaking into the top 30 of the creativity list."

Coco nodded slightly: "Yes, it's very likely the situation you described, Orange."

At this moment, Xuan Ziwen's tall and slender figure appeared behind the two of them.

Keke quickly swiped her finger across the soul guide screen, and the screen displayed an analysis diagram of a level four core magic array.

Xuan Ziwen clapped his hands: "Alright, everyone, after you've finished practicing engraving the core magic arrays in your hands, take a break. If you're hungry, go to the cafeteria for a meal. Return to the lab in thirty minutes."

Orange relaxed, turned to look at Xuan Ziwen, gave a somewhat weak and shy smile, and then switched the screen back to the Soul Guidance Creativity Ranking.

Keke smiled a little embarrassedly. She had been caught a few times before, but it was always after she had completed most of her practice tasks for the day.

Xuan Ziwen pulled up a chair and sat down next to the two of them, without mentioning that they had been slacking off earlier.

Instead, she sighed with regret, "Ah, Huo Yuhao was supposed to be in this lab too, what a pity."

Ju Zi and Ke Ke were both quite surprised to hear this. They never imagined that a student would elicit such a reaction from Teacher Xuan Ziwen.

Teacher Xuan regrets not having taken on any apprentices; their talent must be so exceptional.

Moreover, Xuan Ziwen values ​​creativity more than how strong combat power one can possess through soul tools.

Xiao Hongchen used to hang around Xuan Ziwen all the time. Although he had a high talent in the field of soul guidance, Xuan Ziwen never really recognized him.

The Soul Guiding Cannon formed by Xiao Hongchen in battle has been continuously improved and its manufacturing principle is already extremely mature.

In Xuan Ziwen's view, there was almost no innovation to speak of.

It can only be said that Xiao Hongchen's combat power, which he unleashed by using his martial soul to control the soul tool, was indeed extremely strong.

A hint of inquiry and curiosity gleamed behind her orange-rimmed glasses: "Teacher Xuan, what exactly is this student Huo's idea that makes you give it such high praise?"

Xuan Ziwen slowly shook his head: "I can't tell you now, I haven't mastered that technology either."

"Once some teachers, including myself, have mastered it, the headmaster should promote it throughout the school."

Keke's lips parted slightly, and she blinked blankly. What had she just heard? Even Teacher Xuan wouldn't know!

The basic requirement for innovation is to master most of the core magic arrays that have been developed.

As one of the top senior researchers at Mingde Hall, Xuan Ziwen can make any soul tool below level nine.

"What kind of innovation, Professor Xuan? You didn't even think of that before?" Orange asked softly, her voice tinged with surprise, her glasses slipping slightly off her delicate nose.

Xuan Ziwen considered it for a moment and didn't say much, because it would be too far-fetched to say: "Actually, it's not that complicated to understand. The blacksmiths also know a thing or two. It's essentially about refining metal."

"I was thinking of discussing it with the head of the hall to see if we could get some time for Yuhao to come to our lab so I can mentor him."

When Xuan Ziwen first took a liking to Huo Yuhao, he originally thought that Huo Yuhao was extremely compatible with the field of soul tools and could be taken as his student.

If the potential is well explored, then Master Kong can guide us.

In fact, Huo Yuhao surprised him far more than he expected, creating a hundred-fold purification process right away.

When Ju Zi heard Xuan Ziwen say that if she wanted someone, she would have to discuss it with the head of Mingde Hall, many guesses immediately arose in her mind: "This is really a very influential person."

……

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Soul Tool Trial Grounds.

With the patent for the forging technology successfully approved, Huo Yuhao and the Hongchen siblings prepared to complete the task assigned by the hall master and attempt the martial soul fusion technique.

Under the influence of the enhanced mental detection, Xiao Hongchen's goodwill towards Huo Yuhao has increased many times over, and his entire attitude has changed.

He put his arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulder and walked towards a trial area.

"Yuhao, you said that Grandpa wanted us to try the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, but his main purpose was to let you and Meng try it, and I was just an afterthought."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiao Hongchen figured out what his grandfather was thinking.

"My three-legged golden toad is of the metal element. It's impossible for it to be tested against your bone spirit cold fire, Yuhao. True gold is not afraid of being refined by fire."

The key is that Xiao Hongchen is genuinely afraid of being burned.

Huo Yuhao's fire attribute is the ultimate fire, but his metal attribute is still far from being the ultimate.

Xiao Hongchen's abilities are mainly focused on controlling the gold element, without deliberately increasing the attribute strength, so the purity of the gold element itself is not very high.

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and chuckled, "Brother Xiao, your metal element does indeed somewhat counteract my Bone Spirit Cold Flame."

Although Zhu Qingbingchan of Meng Hongchen possesses ice and fire attributes, there is still a problem: the attribute strength of Bone Spirit Cold Fire is much higher than hers.

However, even if the Bone Spirit Cold Flame cannot be paired with it, Huo Yuhao still has the true Origin Ice Second Martial Soul.

Logically speaking, any martial soul possessing the ice attribute can enhance the strength of the opponent's ice attribute martial soul by controlling its primordial ice.

The Origin Ice Martial Soul is quite different from the original Huo Gua Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Meng Hongchen said with a grin, "Brother, Yuhao, you two just do whatever you want, use the soul recording device to film it, and let Grandpa see that you tried."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen pursed her lips and said, "I really don't understand what Grandpa is thinking."

"If you want Mengni and Yuhao to try, you can just say so. Why bring me along? You might as well have Yuhao help me fire the cannon."

"Grandpa can't still be fantasizing that Yuhao and I have a martial soul fusion skill, can he?"

Huo Yuhao's first martial soul is the Spirit Eye. His Three-Legged Golden Toad martial soul is completely unrelated to the Spirit Eye martial soul.

Compared to the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, it is even more of an attribute counter.

"To be honest, I feel that the only connection between my martial soul and the Spirit Eye is that the Golden Toad also has a pair of eyes," Xiao Hongchen said with some helplessness.

Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something interesting.

In the original story, Huo Gua and Wang Dong, with their eyes and butterflies, could have a fusion skill. According to what Xiao Hongchen just said, it can be made a little more plausible, since the butterfly at least has eyes.

However, the combination of the Spirit Eye and the Clear Sky Hammer is truly an insult to intelligence.

The combination is so explosive to look at that, and it even has a spirit fusion skill. It's really chilling and hard to understand.

Xiao Hongchen suddenly realized, "Hey Yuhao, Meng, do you think Grandpa might do what he always does before, get an itch on the back of his head, and suddenly have the idea of ​​trying out a martial soul fusion technique?"

"It's impossible that they found some unprofessional master's theory in some ancient book."

Xiao Hongchen was quite clear about the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, after all, the brother and sister had a mortal attachment to each other.

The conditions for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill are extremely demanding, requiring compatibility in soul power and perfect matching of attributes. Any slight mismatch will lead to failure.

A certain god-king: No, no, it's not that complicated. A single thought can easily handle it.

That makes sense; to fuse the hammer and the eye, one would need extremely powerful supernatural abilities and pure, unblemished strength.

Xiao Hongchen patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and said, "Yuhao, let's try to complete Grandpa's task. It's not like we'll lose a single piece of our flesh."

Huo Yuhao naturally had no objections.

Then Meng Hongchen, holding the Soul Guidance Recorder, said, "Brother, Yuhao, you two begin."

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen released their martial souls respectively. During the process of trying the martial soul fusion technique, it was obviously not as enjoyable and comfortable as the mental detection. They always felt awkward and uncomfortable.

I tried a few simple poses with my arm around your shoulder.

Xiao Hongchen thought that was enough: "Alright, that's enough for now. Grandpa should understand."

"Both Mengni and Yuhao's martial souls possess the dual attributes of ice and fire, so the chances of success should be quite high."

"You can try a few more positions."
