Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 163 The Scheme of the Three Great Soul Guides (Daily 10,000 words)

Xian Lin'er and Fan Yu arrived quickly. After reading Huo Yuhao's first draft of the paper, they were at a loss for words.

"Duoduo, when it comes to being sensitive to market fluctuations, no one can compare to you. Teacher Fanyu and I will put aside our current experiments and fully cooperate with Yuhao and Ningge to conduct feasibility experiments on the new technology using millennium and ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, and try to push the project forward within a month."

"As for you, go and raise funds now and start absorbing the century-old soul bones circulating in the market. The Sun Moon Empire has monopolized the market for so long, it's time to make them spit out some money."

Qian Duoduo nodded; he naturally knew what he should do next.

"Our academy's strength alone is not enough. If we want to force the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance World to give back its share all at once, we have to give them a hard time."

Qian Duoduo rested his chin on his hands, a cold glint in his eyes: "There will be a seminar on the exchange of soul guidance technology among the four countries in three months. As long as the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year-level soul bones are equally compatible with this technology, we can give the Sun Moon Empire a great gift. But we need to be quick."

"Are we going to unite with the major soul-guiding research institutions within the three empires? Wouldn't that be a bit too much of a move?"

Fan Yu understood what the two meant and spoke with some concern.

A resolute glint flashed in Qian Duoduo's eyes: "The soul tools exported by the Sun Moon Empire have been sucking our blood for so many years. We've been wanting to find an opportunity to take them down. Since we have the chance, let's expand our operations even further."

"By alerting them as soon as possible, we can avoid friendly fire and increase the lethality of this sniping attack. Why not? The Sun Moon Soul Guidance Realm has been enjoying themselves for so many years, it's time for them to bleed a little."

Slowly clenching his fist, Qian Duoduo's right fist made a cracking sound, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Only then did Fan Yu suddenly remember that the Dean Qian in front of him was the Valkyrie's husband, the famous Wulong Douluo, not some easy-going person with no temper.

Huo Yuhao arrived in a daze, and then left in a daze.

He still couldn't understand why his little technology had suddenly become a weapon to target the low-end market of close-combat soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire. But Huo Yuhao was very happy because Qian Duoduo told him that the technology he had created was very lucrative and could generate a lot of money.

Qian Duoduo stated that if this sniping operation succeeds, the Sun Moon Empire's mid-to-low-end melee soul tool market may not recover for at least a hundred years. Shrek Academy, on the other hand, can take this opportunity to overtake the competition and occupy a market share of this segment for more than a hundred years by leveraging the large number of mid-to-low-end soul bones it has acquired from the market in advance.

In short, Huo Yuhao provides the technology, while the academy provides the manpower and financial resources. The plan is to carve out a piece of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool market, so that Shrek Academy's soul tool system will no longer be a money pit that only takes in and never gives out. Huo Yuhao will also receive a portion of the money the academy earns from this opportunity.

"Understood, teacher. I will continue to work with the dean and the others to advance the feasibility study of the project."

When Huo Yuhao heard that he would also receive a share of the profits, his eyes lit up. "Now that you've mentioned this, I'm wide awake!"

He had spent over 100,000 gold soul coins on the Soul Devouring Blade, leaving his savings rather depleted. He was wondering where he could earn some more back.

"Don't overwork yourself, kid. The results you and Ning Ge have made this month are quite mature. Your teacher's wife and Professor Fanyu only need to make a few more complex templates according to your research direction, and put them on with the same old thing in a different guise. There are no difficult points to overcome."

"From now on, your main task and Ning Ge's main task should still be studying. The production of those mid-to-high-level soul tools is not something you can interfere with. Just learn from the experience of making mid-to-high-level soul tools. Don't keep staying up all night. After you come of age, you will have plenty of opportunities to stay up all night to work on projects. For now, get more rest, understand?"

Qian Duoduo's voice became very gentle. He really liked this apprentice, and that was why he couldn't bear to let the apprentice, who was so young, start working like the rest of the group, staying up all night to speed up the project.

"Okay, teacher, I'll go back and organize the complete technical documentation and send a copy to both your wife and Teacher Fanyu."

Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words.

"Yes, and also the paper. You should compile a copy as well. Write my name as the author, and just include your name and Ning Ge's names in the assistant section and the acknowledgments section."

Qian Duoduo's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

"Okay, teacher, I'll revise it when I get back."

Huo Yuhao had no objection to Qian Duoduo's arrangements.

Seeing Huo Yuhao agree so readily, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but chuckle: "Aren't you worried that I'll embezzle your academic achievements?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "If the teacher really intended to embezzle academic achievements, why would he say in front of his wife and Professor Fanyu that this new technology was the result of my brother Ning and I working together? There must be some considerations behind it."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Qian Duoduo smiled with satisfaction: "You and your senior brother will come with me to the exchange and discussion conference on the four countries' soul guidance technology three months from now. I'll show you both the world. I'll help you talk to Teacher Wang Yan about taking leave."

"You are too young now. The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. In the report, I will say that your paper is my research result, but in the documents kept in the school, you and Ning Ge are the first authors."

"With just this one paper, you and Ning Ge are qualified to enter the Inner Academy directly. Of course, it only exempts you from the assessment process. You still need to complete those thirty monitoring tasks before you can truly join the Inner Academy."

Qian Duoduo looked at her obedient disciple with increasing satisfaction and waved her hand to signal Huo Yuhao that he could leave.

"When you go to the seminars, you can get to know more geniuses from other schools' soul guidance departments and exchange ideas. You young people have your own topics to discuss."

"But Yuhao, remember this, this report meeting is not the best time for you to show your talent. You just need to get everyone to recognize your face. When the time is right, the school will give you the opportunity to show your star power, but not now."

Watching Huo Yuhao turn and leave, Qian Duoduo gave him a few more words of advice.

Becoming famous at a young age is what many young talents yearn for most, but now is really not the best time for Huo Yuhao to shine. If Huo Yuhao can restrain his temper and spend more time consolidating, in the future, the entire Soul Guidance World may have to look up to this true dragon soaring in the sky.
