Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 532 What You Can and Can't Read Freely (9K)

"Teacher Xuan, this is definitely the wisest choice you've ever made."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, sat down on the ground with Xuan Ziwen, and watched as Xuan Ziwen gasped for breath and rested for a long time before calming down. Then he silently handed over a soul contract.

"Teacher Xuan, the soul-guided bionic tentacles and the soul-guided rotorcraft powered by sealed baby bottles that we just saw are things we can look at freely. Would you be interested in seeing something that we can't just look at freely?"

"Are there things you can't just look at?"

Xuan Ziwen's eyelids twitched, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to make sense. After all, the soul tools Huo Yuhao was giving him to experience all had one problem: to truly operate them with ease, they had to be controlled by a high-level mental soul master with sufficiently strong mental power.

Ordinary Soul Masters who want to use these Soul Tools must use pure purple gold, which is very expensive, but that makes the cost too high.

Therefore, even if the Sun Moon Empire mastered this technology, it could not popularize it on a large scale. The essence of this soul tool is a new technology supplement in terms of theory and application. At least until a technology that greatly reduces the demand for mental power is developed, there are no conditions for its rapid popularization.

However, Huo Yuhao also said that these were technologies he could look at freely. In other words, even if he didn't follow Huo Yuhao, he could still look at them freely. Huo Yuhao was not worried that he would gain new inspiration from these soul tools.

On the contrary, those inspirations that Huo Yuhao mentioned, which could not be looked at casually, seemed like an invisible hand gracefully beckoning to Xuan Ziwen.

Xuan Ziwen swallowed hard. Since he was already planning to run away with Huo Yuhao anyway, he might as well see some of the techniques that shouldn't be seen casually.

"What should I do?"

Xuan Ziwen said crisply and decisively.

"This is a contract. You need to use your mental power to imprint your name on it."

Without saying a word, Xuan Ziwen quickly put his name up.

A moment later, the pale golden contract "paper" shattered into a pile of light spots, transforming into a locked symbol that shot straight into Xuan Ziwen's spiritual sea.

This time it was Huo Yuhao's turn to be surprised: "Teacher Xuan, aren't you afraid of this secret technique?"

Xuan Ziwen smiled calmly: "What's so scary? I've been your teacher for over two years. If I didn't even understand your character, then I'd have wasted my time as your teacher."

After saying that, Xuan Ziwen perked up again: "Hurry up, I've already signed it, are you still trying to hide it from me?"

Huo Yuhao grinned, realizing that this exchange with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was definitely the right decision.

"In that case, let's go. You'll feel a bit dizzy when you travel to the undead demiplane. This is normal when you jump from the real plane to the virtual plane. We usually call this 'teleportation dizziness.' However, we will be protected by spatial power during the teleportation process, so you won't feel too uncomfortable."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao rapidly chanted the Undead Demiplane, and in just two seconds, a massive Undead Gate rose from the ground and appeared before the two of them.

"Teleportation dizziness?"

Xuan Ziwen gave a wry smile. "Do you want to hear what you're saying? How much do you know about yourself that I, your teacher, don't know?"

As Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yuhao entered the Gate of the Dead, a silver glow appeared on his body, which quickly dissipated after he stepped onto solid ground.

Xuan Ziwen opened his eyes, and a faint, chilling aura swept over his body, raising goosebumps all over his skin.

He subconsciously looked up, and his pupils immediately trembled violently.

What did he see?

Good heavens, how could he see a purple sun rising in the night?

And the realm of the dead, built from endless skeletons.

Just as he was in shock, Nana came over and gave Xuan Ziwen a gift.

"Teacher Xuan, welcome to the Undead Demiplane. This is a little specialty of our Undead Demiplane. We hope you will like it."

Nana smiled and spoke.

Xuan Ziwen was taken aback: "You are... Nana?"

Xuan Ziwen certainly couldn't remember the names of all the students in the academy. To be honest, he might not even know the names of many of the teachers. However, Nana, as an outstanding representative of the academy, had come to his laboratory to assist with some experimental work on new soul tools, so Xuan Ziwen recognized her.

As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen subconsciously opened the gift that Nana had handed him. A skull lay quietly in the gift box, and a faint green flame of soul slowly flickered in its empty eye sockets.

Xuan Ziwen almost threw the skull away, but luckily Nana quickly explained:

"Teacher Xuan, this is a communicator unique to our demiplane. You can imprint your thoughts into the soul fire with your mental power, and this skull will quickly spread the message, just like a large group chat, but it doesn't have the ability to send private messages."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen had no choice but to temporarily put away the communicator, which was full of features characteristic of the undead demiplane, and then looked at Huo Yuhao: "You brat."

Xuan Ziwen's words conveyed a sense of helplessness.

Huo Yuhao just chuckled and then gestured for Nana to bring over the second gift as well.

Nana quickly took the thick mission log from her hand and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Teacher Xuan, please take a look. Which part of the laboratory would you like to visit today? We'll go to that part of the laboratory."

Xuan Ziwen took the mission log handed to him by Huo Yuhao, and was immediately confused, his eyes falling on the mission log.

[Construct a Class II munitions warehouse to store Level 8 and Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells. Project progress: 70%. Project personnel: two Bone Dragons (construction site modified models), two Earth-attribute Liches (concrete mixing), and two Fire-attribute Liches (kiln firing).]

[Construct a transit warehouse for rare metals.]

[Sell a large quantity of metals to the Star Luo Empire, requirements.]

The series of projects dazzled Xuan Ziwen, but what did it matter?

Xuan Ziwen flipped through a few pages and came to the mission log section of the Soul Guidance Project construction area.

[Sun Moon Empire's First Experimental Subject: Giant Soul-Guided Metal Robot Resumes Construction - Not Yet Started]

[The Implementation Principle of the Level 9 Soul Guidance Device Conferred God Platform]

[Analyzing and reverse engineering the Evil Eye Gaze Ray Energy Cannon created by the Siren Soul Master]

[Continue the development of precision mind control soul tools.]

[Ammonite-Poseidon Giant Energy Factory First Preliminary Operation - Not Yet Started (The Temple Master said he would definitely be able to trick Teacher Xuan into coming next time; this is the third time he has said this this month)]

Xuan Ziwen's gaze swept over a series of mission logs, finally stopping on the description of the "Ammonite - Poseidon Giant Energy Factory," and he looked at Huo Yuhao with a resentful expression.

"Hehe, Teacher Xuan, how about I take you to see this charging factory first? Without your help, this factory really can't operate."
