Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 71 Yuhao, you must have thought about it.

"Senior Li Yan, the fusion of two, three, or even more rare flames you mentioned... is this how it's done?"

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, raised his hands, and released a wisp of bone spirit cold fire and a wisp of purple fire respectively.

Watching him with a pale white flame swirling around his left hand and a purple flame around his right, and with his hands pressed together, the two flames gradually merging together.

Li Yan was greatly shocked and said incoherently, "Junior Brother Huo, I just heard Xiao Hongchen say that you made a new type of soul tool explosive gun."

"Their ammunition is the Fire Lotus Bomb, made by using the fire attribute soul power of the martial soul and metal to carry the product of the fusion of two flames."

"But, if we directly fuse two flames using our martial souls, won't they repel each other and cause a violent explosion?"

Li Yan's lips twitched. Although ancient books recorded powerful figures who had tried to fuse flames, none of them could solve the problem of flames repelling each other.

After Xiao Hongchen explained how to make the Fire Lotus Bomb, Li Yan could barely understand it.

In fact, all soul-guided projectiles are ammunition infused with soul power within metal, activated by a core magic array to detonate and cause powerful destruction.

The Fire Lotus Bomb is essentially a projectile made of enhanced metal and two powerful fire-attribute soul powers.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Of course, the fusion of two flames will cause an explosion."

"But it won't explode during the fusion process. My martial soul can effectively avoid this negative situation, but it needs more practice. Senior Li Yan, just consider it a special ability of my martial soul."

"After successful fusion, using explosions as an attack method, the power will indeed allow me to fight beyond my level... even if it's a little higher, it's not an exaggeration."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan silently contemplated life, contemplating the disparity between different kinds of fire.

He secretly resolved that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely emulate the predecessor recorded in the ancient books.

By fusing one or two other flames with one's own Fire Martial Soul, impurities can be removed, making the fire attribute of the Martial Soul increasingly pure.

Thinking this, Li Yan clenched his fist, and a sudden surge of heroic spirit welled up from the bottom of his heart.

...Do not underestimate the weakness of the fire!

"Senior Li Yan, since you also have such lofty aspirations, then you must work hard. Maybe one day you will also be able to combine two, three or even more kinds of flames into your own martial soul."

Huo Yuhao patted his arm, seemingly having high expectations for his senior, Li Huo Huo Huo.

Li Yan's eyes showed an unprecedented determination as he nodded heavily, indicating that he would definitely forge the glory of Li Huo in the future!

Xiao Hongchen patted Li Yan's other shoulder and smiled confidently: "Li Yan, remember to inform Brother Ma Rulong when you get back."

"Grandpa said that a friendly sparring challenge match will be organized between the reserve team and the regular players later, so that Brother Ma can prepare."

Xiao Hongchen was smug and full of confidence.

"Then let Brother Ma see for himself how terrifying the Soul Guidance Cannon can be used to sweep the ground with Yuhao's help, it's like I'm using a cheat code."

Li Yan saw that Xiao Hongchen was as confident as ever, which he was used to. What surprised him was that with Huo Yuhao's assistance?

Are you sure you're not going to fight alongside Huo Yuhao?

"Laughing at the world, is Junior Brother Huo really just assisting you, or is he using the fire lotus formed by the two flames to bombard you together?"

Xiao Hongchen shook his head and gave a wicked smile: "Yuhao won't make a move; I'll be the only one firing the guns."

Li Yan paused for a moment, then said logically, "Judging from your past battles with Brother Ma, it will be difficult for you to win alone."

"It was only when you and Meng Hongchen joined forces that you had a chance to defeat Brother Ma."

Xiao Hongchen only told Li Yan part of the story about Yuhao's Flame Martial Soul and the Bomb Gun.

As for the Soul Skill's ability to see through objects and auto-aim, it's impossible to reveal it in advance.

This kind of soul skill, which greatly enhances the strength of the turret soul master, should definitely be saved for the friendly match to give the main team members a shocking experience of being cheated.

After seeing Li Yan off, Xiao Hongchen's gaze shifted between Huo Yuhao and his sister.

"Yuhao, Meng, why have you two been spending all your nights together for the past three months?"

"Even if you're drawing character illustrations for a comic book, practicing drawing each part one by one, you should be proficient by now, after all this time."

Although Xiao Hongchen could barely accept that Yuhao and his sister were developing feelings for each other.

After all, this also relates to how deep the bond is between him, the future brother-in-law, and Yuhao.

However, Xiao Hongchen felt that, for the sake of both Yuhao and his younger sister, it was necessary to constantly remind them not to act recklessly.

Meng Hongchen smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry so much. I've been learning Yuhao's painting style lately."

Huo Yuhao leaned against the wall. The reason he asked Meng Hongchen to learn was the same as his previous concerns: the series of battle armor forging, designing, and manufacturing processes required the Soul Master's personal participation in one of them.

After careful consideration, he decided to design the battle armor draft together with Meng Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Meng, if you were to learn to draw yourself, you probably wouldn't need Yuhao much."

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Sister Meng said she wanted to draw a character portrait for me herself."

Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth but didn't say anything more. He knew that his sister was a sucker for good looks, so it was reasonable for her to want to draw Huo Yuhao, which was within his expectations.

He then gave a bright smile and handed a gold card to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, this is your patent fee for the hundred-refining process. You will receive a share of the profits from the sale of any soul tool made using hundred-refining metal."

"Grandpa asked me to give this to you, take a look."

For the past three months, every weekend, Jing Hongchen would have Xu Sheng, Xuan Ziwen, Jia Xu, and some sixth-grade teachers learn the Hundred Refinement Purification technique from Huo Yuhao.

These teachers all possess remarkable talent in the field of soul tools, and they immediately recognized the extraordinary significance of metal reinforcement in the creation of soul tools.

Furthermore, the principle of the Hundred Refinement Purification is not difficult to understand. These level 7 and 8 Soul Masters, who were Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, mastered the Hundred Refinement Purification after practicing with Huo Yuhao for more than a month.

Then Xu Sheng, Jia Xu, and others taught it to the other researchers at Mingdetang.

Every teacher who successfully forges a hundred-fold metal for the first time experiences an indescribable feeling, as if they have opened the door to a new world and embarked on an extraordinary path.

Huo Yuhao took the gold card and used his soul power to check it. Currently, only a small number of researchers have mastered the Hundred Refinement Purification technique.

In less than three months, he received more than one million gold coins in patent fees.

Xiao Hongchen patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Yuhao, now that you have money, you don't need my allowance anymore."

"Seriously, you can go out on your own without us siblings."

Xiao Hongchen smiled warmly and said, "Don't you think so, Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at him, his tone indifferent.

"Stop testing me, Brother Xiao."

"As I said before, the hundred-fold refining is only the initial stage. The difficulty increases exponentially in the later stages, and we still need your support."

"Of course, I will also make the technology public and will not keep it hidden."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen laughed heartily: "It seems that Grandpa was right. Yuhao, you are indeed kind-hearted and sincere."

More importantly, his soul skills greatly benefited him, making him practically the perfect brother-in-law.

Afterwards, Xiao Hongchen returned to her room in Mingde Hall, while Meng Hongchen took a bath, changed into a pure white nightgown, and happily went to Huo Yuhao's room.

After three months of tireless effort, Huo Yuhao finally completed the design drafts for his thigh armor, calf armor, and combat boots.

Meng Hongchen glanced at the bound illustration booklet, then looked down at her own fair and flawless legs: "Yuhao, the thighs, calves, and feet are all finished. What's next?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment: "A skirt."

That is, the design draft of the waist belt/battle skirt, which is actually relatively simple to design.

However, his forging skills are not yet up to par; he's still lacking the necessary refinement.

In the game "Dota 3," the minimum requirement for crafting battle armor is that the metal must be refined through a thousand forgings.

However, there's no need to rush. Successfully designing the battle armor blueprints for all parts and mastering the thousand-refinement purification technique would be a more ideal progress.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was carefully sketching out the design draft of the short skirt.

"Sister Meng, could you think about what the waist corset and skirt length should be?"

Meng Hongchen cupped her waist with her small hands through her nightgown. Her already slender waist looked even more delicate and graceful with her hands gathered around it.

She made a circle with her hands to indicate her waist size, and said coquettishly, "Hehe, Yuhao, my waist is about this thin."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded: "Well, what length of skirt do you think would be suitable, Sister Meng?"

Meng Hongchen, using the dress she usually wore, placed her small hands across her fair and rounded thighs, moving them up and down to find the right feeling.

"As for the skirt length... it should cover the middle of the thigh and slightly above the knee."

Meng Hongchen said with a smile that this was the length of the dress she usually wore.

Huo Yuhao nodded. The battle skirt didn't have a significant impact. The thigh and calf armor would cover both legs, and the battle skirt mainly served to coordinate the upper and lower body of the battle armor.

Although the battle skirt serves as a linchpin connecting the upper and lower body armor, it is not a core component of the battle armor.

The core battle armor components are the chest armor and the headband. The chest armor can concentrate the power of the entire battle armor and then, combined with the characteristics of the martial soul, distribute the power to other parts of the battle armor according to one's own needs.

Several tens of minutes later, Huo Yuhao had already practiced drawing many drafts of the battle skirt design.

This thing can't be expected to be successful overnight. Even with his current level of skill, it would take him about two weeks to create a flawless design.

Huo Yuhao took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue he had previously bought at the Haoyue Auction House.

Meng Hongchen asked in surprise, "Yuhao, you haven't taken this whale gelatin yet?"

"Don't you know how to take it... Why didn't you tell me? I've taken several bottles of whale jelly before, so I know how to take it."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "I do know a little about how to take it. My soul power level is currently level twenty-nine."

"I was hoping to use this piece of ancient whale glue to directly reach level 30."

Meng Hongchen nodded slightly and said happily, "That's great! Grandpa told me and Xiao before that as long as you can break through to the third-ring Soul Master level before the competition, he will make you a reserve team member directly."

She then carefully explained to Huo Yuhao how to take whale gelatin.

It's basically about heating it with fire to soften it, and if possible, wrapping it slightly with ice-attribute soul power before putting it directly into your mouth.

Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen both possess ice-attribute martial souls, so they naturally have this condition.

With a smile, Meng Hongchen reminded him, "Yuhao, you might feel a bit hot for a while after taking the whale gelatin."

"But don't worry, you can just suppress it with your ice-attribute soul power."

"Okay, I understand." Huo Yuhao nodded and released the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to heat the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

He controlled the intensity of the flames, and after a few seconds, under the scorching heat of the strange fire, the ten-thousand-year whale glue quickly softened and turned into a bright and transparent light golden colloid.

Huo Yuhao used his Ice Soul Power to draw the ice to his mouth and took several big bites.

Meng Hongchen blinked: "How's it going, Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, indicating: "Not bitter, smooth on the palate, and goes down smoothly..."

As the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue entered his stomach, energy surged into his limbs and bones, and Huo Yuhao felt a slight heat in his chest and abdomen.

He was convinced that his thoughts were absolutely correct, but at this moment, the image of Meng Hongchen's curvaceous and graceful white legs kept flashing through his mind.

Huo Yuhao instantly realized that something was wrong; the Bone Spirit Cold Flame might have caused a problem with the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's flushed cheeks, Meng Hongchen quickly took his hand and whispered, "Yuhao, use Ice Soul Power to suppress it."

"It's already being suppressed," Huo Yuhao said through gritted teeth in a muffled voice.

Then he discovered that his original ice martial soul could not suppress the scorching heat brought by the softened whale glue after the bone spirit cold fire softened.

Meng Hongchen was a little worried about Huo Yuhao and was about to say something when she suddenly felt her waist being embraced.

"Pfft~"

Meng Hongchen suddenly revealed a sweet smile, beaming: "Yuhao, are you trying to take advantage of your older sister by using the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue?"

"You are the ultimate ice, how could you possibly not be able to suppress it?"

Meng Hongchen twisted her waist, cooperating with Huo Yuhao to half-embrace him.

"Hoo..." Huo Yuhao's breathing was a little hot, but his soul power emanated a warm coolness: "Sister Meng, there's really a problem with this ten-thousand-year whale glue."

Meng Hongchen chuckled, "Yuhao, I know that ten-thousand-year-old things will definitely make people even more aroused."

"But it doesn't affect your mind, so it must be something you wanted to do, otherwise you wouldn't have taken advantage of your sister."

She noticed Huo Yuhao staring intently at her.

"If you don't believe me, I'll eat some and show you." Meng Hongchen's face showed a hint of inexplicable joy as she picked up a small piece of the whale glue he had just left and was about to put it in her mouth.

Huo Yuhao quickly raised his hand to stop her: "Hey, okay, Sister Meng, trust me, you definitely won't be able to hold back."
