Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 159 This boy has the potential to become a level nine Soul Master! (Daily 10,000 words)

Therefore, since soul bones can be separated from other people in a certain state, there is no reason why they would not work after being replaced with soul tools.

Having gained inspiration for a research topic from Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao's academic life returned to normal, but this was true for the vast majority of students.

For Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao's roommate who spends every day with him, the pressure is too great.

My roommate is a total slacker, what should I do? I need help urgently.

Huo Yuhao's meditation ends at the crack of dawn every day. At this time, Huo Yuhao will pick up the part of the technical documents he left behind yesterday, flip through them while going to the cafeteria to get his meal, and muttering something to himself from time to time.

Following that, Huo Yuhao's morning study time was just as regular as everyone else's. At most, when he got to the part he had previewed beforehand, he would take out other materials to study, and also learn about Soul Master tactics, cultivation methods, and teamwork under the teacher's guidance.

This seemingly normal learning pace would continue until school ended at four in the afternoon. At this time, Huo Yuhao would usually go to the cafeteria to pack some food and head to the Soul Guidance Department to work on his own projects and learn soul guidance making techniques one-on-one with teachers who were available until very late.

It wasn't until the dormitory curfew was approaching that Huo Yuhao returned from the Soul Guidance Experiment Area looking exhausted. Occasionally, when his research projects made extra progress, Huo Yuhao would even choose to stay up all night in the lab, only taking a short nap near dawn before returning to class looking fully recharged.

Huo Yuhao's incredible behavior not only impressed Wang Dong, but also earned him high praise from his teachers and fellow students in the lab.

Researching soul tools requires this kind of reckless drive. At such a young age, he can sleep on the floor in the laboratory and push the project forward on his own without the teacher having to say anything. This child has the potential to be a level nine soul tool master!

Although Huo Yuhao's behavior seemed exaggerated to Wang Dong and the others in the Martial Soul Department, to the research enthusiasts in the Soul Guidance Department, this was the kind of character that people in the Soul Guidance Department should have—staying up all night in the lab to collect data was just commonplace for them.

These fulfilling and peaceful days did not last long. A month later, just as Huo Yuhao was in the laboratory, feeling excited about the significant progress made in the soul bone replacement project, there was a knock on the door of Huo Yuhao's laboratory.

Yes, Huo Yuhao's own laboratory, although not large in area, about the same size as the Soul Arena in the round-robin tournament of the freshman competition, is still quite good. The 20*20 square meter area is enough for Huo Yuhao to place his soul guidance experiment table and small smelting tools.

Huo Yuhao placed the soul bone he had successfully removed on the table, pressed a button on the table, and immediately the door to the soul guidance test area behind him opened. The door to Huo Yuhao's laboratory had sliding rails on the ground and top, and the door was four or five centimeters thick, which could withstand the direct shot of a typical level six soul guidance ray gun.

The door opened, and Huo Yuhao turned his head to look, only to find Ning Ge already standing at the door.

"Brother Ning? What brings you here?"

Huo Yuhao silently put away the few carbon pens he used for drawing into the cabinet before speaking.

"You little rascal, don't be so nervous. I'm not here to steal your pens. I just borrowed a few from the teacher yesterday, so I have enough for now."

Ning Ge chuckled when he saw Huo Yuhao's little trick.

"The teacher is going to start cursing again today when he's drawing the sketch of the core soul tool."

Huo Yuhao chuckled upon hearing this. In the Soul Guidance Department, the most precious thing was not rare metals, but the pens used for drawing. These pens were always in short supply, and if you didn't keep a close eye on them, they would all be gone in the blink of an eye.

"You succeeded?!"

Suddenly, Ning Ge saw the pale yellow soul bone behind Huo Yuhao. That soul bone was something he and Huo Yuhao had embedded together before, and now it was lying quietly on Huo Yuhao's soul guidance experiment table.

"I guess so. We owe it all to Wang Dong's help, which allowed us to break free from the limitations of soul tools."

Huo Yuhao nodded, then said, "Brother Ning, what brings you here today? Didn't you say you were going back to the shop to deal with the orders that had been piling up for a long time?"

"Of course, if I hadn't gone back, I wouldn't have come to see you today."

Ning Ge took out a small box made of Fiery Sun Iron from his storage soul tool and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"This is?"

Huo Yuhao said with some doubt.

"Do you remember that strange carving knife my second uncle found at the auction?"

Ning Ge's gaze fell on the small box, and Huo Yuhao immediately understood what he meant.

"Boss Ning's efficiency is still as high as ever, just like his efficiency in transferring money in the past."

Huo Yuhao took the box, feeling a pleasant surprise.

Although the Soul Guide Communication Device exists in the Douluo Continent, it is quite expensive to manufacture and its transmission distance is not very far, so most of the time we still rely on traditional communication methods.

That's why, in just one month, the carving knife was delivered, and Huo Yuhao couldn't help but give Boss Ning a thumbs up for his efficiency.

Swift and decisive!

"But why store this thing in Fiery Sun Refined Iron? This little box alone must have cost over ten thousand gold soul coins, right, Brother Ning?"

Huo Yuhao asked with some confusion.

Ning Ge simply shrugged at the question and then tossed a storage ring with its core magic array already destroyed to Huo Yuhao.

"When I first received this carving knife, I thought the same thing, so I just threw it into my storage soul tool. As you can see, there was a fierce aura in this carving knife that kept impacting my storage ring. When I woke up this morning, the ring was completely destroyed."

"This carving knife is constantly emanating a fierce aura. As long as I touch it, I can feel a cold current flowing into my body. It takes me half a day to circulate my soul power to expel it. I had no choice but to put the carving knife back. This small box was given away with the auction after I won the bid."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao became even more interested in the carving knife. He opened the small box made of Fiery Sun Iron and revealed a carving knife lying quietly inside.

The carving knife is about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger. From bottom to top, it gradually narrows, with a very sharp point at the very top, and a blade about half an inch wide below. The knife is generally rustic and dark, with faint patterns engraved on it, exuding a subtle, ancient charm. Yet, it also carries a somber air.
