Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 182 Errors in Space Theory (Daily Written Version)

The more perturbations there are, the slower the repair process becomes, until it approaches the limit of normal expansion of space.

A thought suddenly flashed through Master Kong's mind.

"In the implementation of this technology, the more disturbances there are in the area after the space is broken, the slower the repair will be. It will not have a polarization effect at all, but will only make the opening bigger and bigger until it approaches a certain limit value, at which point the repairability of the space itself will suddenly improve."

Upon hearing this, Elder Kong's body trembled violently. This was the core problem that had been troubling the creation of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. Not only was he perplexed by this problem, but his cousin was also tormented by it.

"How do you know so much? You don't even have the mathematical tools to solve space problems, how could you possibly know about the limit of normal expansion of space?"

Kong Lao's expression changed drastically. There was absolutely no way anyone could have leaked this technology. After all, the only people who had any knowledge of the spatial domain were those few level-nine soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire who knew it inside and out. But that was precisely why Kong Lao's eyes showed such shock.

Huo Yuhao simply gave a gentle smile in response.

"Professor Kong, why do you believe that mathematical tools are necessary for studying space theory? Our Shrek Academy has chosen a practical approach."

Upon hearing this, not only did Elder Kong on the podium tremble and show a bitter expression, but even Jing Hongchen, who was sitting in the first row and had been confident, suddenly clenched her fists and looked at Qian Duoduo with a hint of gritted teeth.

What is a theoretical school of thought?

The theoretical school of thought uses various mathematical tools to calculate the characteristics of space, summarizes the laws of space, and then utilizes them.

So what exactly is a pragmatist?

It's very simple: those who use brute force to tear apart space and then continuously test the spatial cracks to obtain spatial patterns are the damn practitioners.

Huo Yuhao's meaning was simple: you Sun Moon Academy members have methods to study space, but so do we Shrek Academy members. You use your brains, and we'll use brute force. Anyway, once your strength reaches level 98, tearing space won't be a particularly difficult thing. If you're interested, you can give it a try.

Huo Yuhao's words struck at the heart of the Sun Moon Empire's weakness.

Just as Shrek Academy and the three great empires were unclear about how to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire's solid theoretical foundation, the Sun Moon Empire racked its brains but still didn't know how to produce a level 95 Super Douluo, let alone how to create a level 98 or even 99 peerless powerhouse.

In an instant, the advantage that the Sun and Moon had created vanished. Regardless of whether Shrek used his brain or brute force to summarize the laws of space, Shrek's research in this field is no less than that of the Sun and Moon. Why don't you send a twelve-year-old child to leave Shrek speechless?

In the second row of the audience, the blonde girl with a ponytail couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity when she saw Huo Yuhao leave a ninth-level Soul Master speechless.

What's his name? What's his nationality? Is he Shrek Academy's most outstanding student in the Soul Guidance Department this year?

Professor Kong remained silent for a long time on the podium before finally lowering his head slowly: "You're right. Space polarization technology must overcome the disturbance problem; otherwise, we can only wait for the limit of normal space expansion to be reached. I intentionally omitted this point during my report, and I apologize to you. Child, what's your name?"

"Huo Yuhao, sir."

Huo Yuhao did not show any smugness on his face. He simply nodded to the other party and sat down.

Now, the entire lecture hall became even more lively, and everyone's eyes fell on Huo Yuhao once again. But this time, everyone's eyes were filled with shock, reverence, and disbelief when they looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was able to raise this question not because Shrek Academy had conducted any tests on space before, but because of Elder Yi.

For someone who had spent an unknown amount of time wandering the streets through the spatial rifts, even if he hadn't focused on this area much before, it was no problem for him to give pointers on the Sun Moon Empire's rudimentary research into the spatial domain.

The two did not exchange any further words. The old man Kong slowly walked down from the podium and sat in the first row, seemingly talking to Jing Hongchen about something. The other soul masters in the audience also gathered together and whispered among themselves.

The dark cloud hanging over Shrek Academy from the Sun and Moon Empire has temporarily dissipated, but this is not the case for the three great empires. They have neither the theoretical foundation and mathematical tools of the Sun and Moon Empire, nor the power of Shrek Academy to violently tear open space for research. For a moment, an inexplicable anxiety arose.

The two most powerful forces in the world are researching the space domain, and you know nothing about this domain, not even how to access it. Aren't you panicking?

The ninth-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire were already discussing the application of space technology at the report meeting, while a twelve-year-old child from Shrek Academy could speak eloquently about this issue, while they had no knowledge of this field at all. This sense of panic about not having what others had spread almost uncontrollably to everyone.

Why don't we try to wait until Qian Duoduo finishes his report and have a few more conversations with him? At least they need to get this project off the ground. Regardless of the research progress, they should at least have the necessary knowledge in this area.

For a moment, the entire lecture hall was filled with friendly gazes toward Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo glanced back and immediately sensed something was wrong. The people in their eyes were so enthusiastic that it seemed they wanted to devour him whole.

These people have a simple idea: your students are so young, yet they can talk so eloquently about spatial theory. You, as a Super Douluo, must have a thorough understanding of the spatial field, right?

All I can say is that the idea is good, but Qian Duoduo himself doesn't understand why Huo Yuhao knows so much. Everyone thinks that he, Qian Duoduo, knows more than Huo Yuhao, but what does he know?

When Huo Yuhao pointed out the theoretical flaws of that old Kong, he was only pretending to be expressionless because he was worried about being exposed. It doesn't mean he really understood spatial theory! If he understood spatial theory, he would have stood up on his own. Why would he need Huo Yuhao to save the day?

Qian Duoduo walked stiffly onto the stage. How to fool the audience about his understanding of space theory was a matter for later. Right now, he had to quickly promote the new technology developed by Huo Yuhao at this technical report meeting. That was the most important thing.

Wait a minute, how come Huo Yuhao also came up with this new technology? Doesn't that make Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department seem useless?

The terrifying thought suddenly popped into Qian Duoduo's mind. He shook his head and quickly banished the thought from his mind. If he continued to speculate, his teacher would also become useless. This conclusion was too discouraging.

The last few updates have been mostly about planting seeds for future plot points, so there hasn't been much work to do, and the writing has been rather dry. I sincerely accept everyone's criticism. The work will be more frequent from now on, and I'll start filling in the gaps and try to make it more enjoyable.

P.S.: I'm actually not very good at writing exciting moments, and sometimes I even avoid these kinds of plots because they feel a bit forced (scratching head).

If you have any opinions about this book, please feel free to share them here. I will try my best to revise it without affecting the outline. However, given the author's writing skills, even with revisions, it's hard to say that it will be completely satisfactory. I apologize in advance.
