Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 170 Ghost Golden Rod (10,000 per day)

Seeing that Huo Yuhao immediately understood the unspoken message behind Fan Yuhao asking him for the sketch a few days ago, Fan Yu nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at He Caitou.

Look at Huo Yuhao, and then look at you, you blockhead. It's so hard for your teacher to give you any perks. If Ning Ge hadn't understood what I meant and given you that wink, you blockhead, you wouldn't have gotten anything!

He Caitou saw Fan Yu's gaze and immediately lowered his head in shame.

You can't blame him. How could his brain possibly understand all these complicated ideas? How could he keep up with your clever and cunning thinking?

"Alright, since you're being so proactive, I'll count you in."

Fan Yu reached out and grasped the soul bone floating in mid-air. He admired the amazing integrity of the soul bone and then took out a universal soul bone plugin module.

Fan Yu placed the plug-in module on the table, then injected soul power into it, and then attached the soul bone to the module. An amazing scene occurred: the soul bone began to slowly seep into the module, just like a person absorbing a soul bone. In just a few minutes, the soul bone was completely absorbed into the module.

Although such a scene had occurred many times in Huo Yuhao's laboratory a few days ago, every time Huo Yuhao saw this scene, he would secretly admire the genius soul master of the Sun Moon Empire who invented the melting and forging method for close combat soul tools thousands of years ago.

Compared to him, who only made a minor modification to the other party's technical path, this Soul Master is truly the supreme master of melee Soul Tools, and has truly created a development path that is completely different from traditional Soul Tools.

It can be said that if the Sun Moon Empire's domestic soul bone market hadn't been so barren that even low- to mid-level soul bones were considered treasures, their technology would definitely have been further optimized after it was developed.

However, on the other hand, if the Sun Moon Empire hadn't valued even broken and damaged soul bones as treasures, perhaps such a great technology for utilizing waste wouldn't have been born.

The sigh in his heart didn't last long. Soon, Fan Yu picked up the module that had already absorbed the soul bone.

"Yuhao, which soul tool do you think would be most suitable to mount this soul bone on?"

Fan Yu looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao looked at the row of densely packed soul tools on the experimental table. These were all soul tools that had been tested during this period. Huo Yuhao skipped over them, except for a moment when he stopped at a sixth-order soul tool, the Ghost Gold Rod.

The Ghost Gold Cudgel is a blunt weapon similar to a mace. The saying goes that a cudgel is one that reaches the chest and a stick is one that reaches the eyebrows. The Ghost Gold Cudgel is a type of cudgel. Its traditional shape is a short-handled large club with metal nails. The soul bone on this soul tool has not been removed. It seems to be a torso bone of a 4,000-year-old gold-loving porcupine.

There are very few students in the Soul Guidance Department who specialize in melee Soul Guidance Devices, let alone a heavy weapon like the Ghost Gold Staff, which is extremely cumbersome but has an exaggeratedly high destructive power. In addition, the compatibility of this Soul Bone with the Ghost Gold Staff is extremely compatible.

Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Ning Ge and found that the other party was also looking at him, so he couldn't help but smile.

Huo Yuhao walked directly to the row of weapon racks behind the experimental table. Every soul tool hanging on it exuded an aura that made Huo Yuhao's heart tremble. Huo Yuhao even saw a melee soul tool made by imitating the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade of the Sun Moon Empire. However, without exception, none of these soul tools had soul bones embedded in them yet.

Finally, Huo Yuhao walked to an exaggeratedly large samurai sword, stretched out his hands, and slowly took it off the weapon rack.

This is a large katana that is 1.5 meters long, even taller than some children. Compared to the katana that Huo Yuhao usually uses, this large katana is 60 centimeters longer.

Holding the greatsword at an angle with both hands, Huo Yuhao still felt somewhat strained, even with his current physical abilities.

The curved blade makes this greatsword more powerful when slashing and cutting. One side of the blade is a sharp edge, while the other side is a smooth back. The hilt is relatively long, allowing Huo Yuhao to hold and wield it with both hands.

Looking up along the tsuba (handguard), the entire blade of this great sword presents an elegant curve, giving people a feeling that is both fierce and gentle.

Huo Yuhao carefully examined the katana. The blade had been meticulously polished and polished, giving it a captivating luster. The scabbard was covered in intricate patterns, resembling a whirlwind. The handle appeared to be wrapped with the skin of some ancient python, increasing the user's grip.

Huo Yuhao recognized the rare metal used in the tsuba of this katana. It was a tsuba made from a single piece of refined tungsten steel, with only two purposes: one was to mimic the way Huo Yuhao's hand slipped off the hilt and was cut by the sharp blade when he used it.

Secondly, it was to prevent the enemy's attack from cutting down along the blade and directly severing Huo Yuhao's hand holding the sword. It was for this reason that the academy used such a large piece of refined tungsten steel as the hilt of this great sword.

Huo Yuhao knew the properties of tungsten steel all too well. Even the steel katana he used when he participated in the freshman competition, which contained tungsten steel, could withstand so many blows from the Netherworld White Tiger without breaking. Not to mention a tsuba made entirely of refined tungsten steel.

Although this tsuba is only half the size of a palm, a tungsten steel tsuba of this size would cost no less than five figures, and in Gold Soul Coins.

At least Huo Yuhao himself would absolutely not be willing to use pure tungsten steel to make his tsuba (handguard); it would be too extravagant!

With just a glance at the hilt, Huo Yuhao was certain that the cost of the greatsword in front of him was no less than 300,000 gold soul coins, not even counting the perfect ten-thousand-year-old right arm soul bone that he was about to install.

Once these two are combined, the starting price for this greatsword at the auction will not be less than one million gold soul coins. Note that this is just the starting price.

Huo Yuhao sighed. He was beginning to understand why the Soul Guidance Department was becoming poorer and poorer as it developed. Even Qian Duoduo, a vice dean, had to go around complaining about being poor. Because they couldn't take that part of the market from the Sun Moon Empire, these expensive Soul Guidance Devices couldn't be sold, which explained why they were becoming poorer and poorer as they developed.

At first, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department only focused on developing low- to mid-level Soul Guidance Devices. It didn't matter if they couldn't make money, as Shrek Academy had plenty of money to support the Soul Guidance Department.

However, after so many years of development, the Soul Guidance System will eventually have to push for high-end Soul Guidance Devices. This is the most difficult time for the Soul Guidance System, as the production cost of high-end Soul Guidance Devices is extremely high!

However, even with the increased costs, the Soul Guidance System still had a lot of unsold items. This was because the Sun Moon Empire was selling the same level of Soul Guidance Devices at a price lower than their cost price. Selling to the Sun Moon Empire at that price would result in a loss for them, while the Sun Moon Empire even had room to further lower the price, as they could even make a profit at that price!

The darkest hour is before dawn.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao stumbled upon an advanced technological path, and based on this path alone, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department will be able to stand tall and speak with confidence for the next hundred years.

Who said their Soul Guidance Department is a greedy creature that only takes in and never gives out? Come out here!
