Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 534 Power Supply (9K)

The structure above continuously expands, extends, and converges outwards, eventually taking on a shape similar to a large bowl, stretching diagonally upwards.

The faint light that had been rising on the Ammonite gradually dissipated, and the gray soul core spun and fell toward the power supply column.

"Yuhao, no!"

Xuan Ziwen's eyes widened; he knew very well just how destructive the soul core was.

But before Xuan Ziwen could make any actual move, the gray soul core had already fallen.

The explosion, roar, and devastating wave of soul power that Xuan Ziwen had anticipated did not occur. The moment the soul core fell, the soul power within it was absorbed by the energy pillar, forming a mysterious force field that held the soul core above the energy pillar.

Enveloped by a gentle force, the wildly spinning gray ball began to stabilize, ceasing its acceleration and maintaining a steady rotation at a certain speed.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, walked to the control panel of the power supply column and busied himself for a few moments. The light screens on the sub-control panels lit up immediately, displaying different images.

Xuan Ziwen hurriedly took a few steps and came to one of the control panels.

A series of words appeared on the light screen in front of him.

Jiazi Slot - Level 7 Healing Bottle - Soul Power Remaining: 1/10.

Jiawu Slot - Level 6 Healing Bottle - Soul Power Remaining: 0/10.

Otsuko-level 6 Milk Bottle - Soul Power Remaining: 2/10.

He keenly realized that the amount and level of soul power displayed on these light screens were the same as the level 7 and level 6 empty milk bottles he had just given to Huo Yuhao.

"Teacher Xuan, there's a red button on your right. Press it and we can start supplying energy."

Huo Yuhao's voice drifted over slowly, but it sounded to Xuan Ziwen as if he were hearing heavenly music.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Xuan Ziwen said "okay" several times without any reason, and then, with trembling hands, pressed the red button that Huo Yuhao had mentioned.

Although he didn't understand how the giant pillar in front of him worked, he seemed to have vaguely guessed something from the panel of the light screen.

This explains his excitement.

If the thing Huo Yuhao made is really as he imagined, he will stick with Huo Yuhao for the rest of his life!

Huo Yuhao said cheerfully, "Teacher Xuan, if it weren't for your sealed baby bottles as the power source for the Ammonite, this workstation would just be a pile of scrap metal."

"I won't allow you to say that about it!"

Xuan Ziwen suddenly jumped up.

Just as the two were talking, the entire power supply column suddenly roared violently.

A large number of light blue dense light patterns suddenly appeared on the silver-white power supply column, rushing straight up to the highest point, making the giant bowl formed by the soul force field at the top look beautiful.

A powerful surge of energy gathered from the pillar, as if an ancient behemoth capable of devouring the heavens and the earth was awakening, letting out a roar as it prepared to begin its feast.

In just a few seconds, Xuan Ziwen keenly noticed that the soul core at the top of the pillar was rapidly shrinking, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around his body suddenly became denser.

The next moment, this enhancement vanished abruptly, replaced by a feeling of detachment and vacuum that was extremely difficult for Soul Masters to endure.

All the surrounding elemental energy vanished at that moment.

It seemed as if there was a force trying to drain all the soul power from his body, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

At the top of the power supply column, numerous transparent ripples appeared in waves, constantly gathering in the air and unleashing bursts of incredibly powerful energy.

However, the aftershocks and ripples of these energies did not erupt; instead, they were tightly confined to a certain area, and there were signs of continuous compression.

The original pale blue light patterns have disappeared, replaced by streaks of pale red light patterns.

These light patterns flow down from the top like a waterfall, following the grooves engraved on the pillar downwards, and finally diverge into the energy supply chamber.

Huo Yuhao said unhurriedly, "Teacher Xuan, the bottle inlets in the power supply compartment are arranged according to the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, that is, the arrangement of 'Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding' and 'Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao'. It can supply up to one hundred and twenty bottles at a time."

"Of course, in addition to powering the baby bottles, the 'Poseidon-Ammonite' workstation also undertakes other tasks that are not yet recorded in the mission log. But now that you have brought the sealing baby bottle technology, these tasks can be put on the agenda."

"For example, the theoretical pathways for artificial spirit ring technology and artificial spirit core technology are relatively clear. However, since there isn't a high-level sealed energy source to power the workstation, research on these technologies hasn't started yet."

Xuan Ziwen felt like he couldn't breathe properly; the shock Huo Yuhao had given him today was simply too great.

Just then, a series of prompts appeared on the control screen in front of him and Huo Yuhao.

Jiazi Slot - Level 7 Healing Bottle - Soul Power Remaining: 9/10.

Jiawu Slot - Level 6 Healing Bottle - Soul Power Remaining: 9/10.

Otsuko-level 6 Milk Bottle - Soul Power Remaining: 9/10.

Number of charges this time: 12

Charging time: 34 seconds

Soul Core Loss: 1.72%

"."

A dazzling array of text information appeared before Xuan Ziwen's eyes.

At the nearest point to him, on the light screen called the charging station, there were corresponding prompts.

A familiar mechanical sound rang out, and the bottles that were originally inserted into the power supply compartment were transferred to the fully charged storage compartment, where a dozen bottles were neatly stacked.

Xuan Ziwen suppressed his excitement and carefully took out a fully charged baby bottle, holding it in his palm.

It was as if he were holding some rare treasure, not just an ordinary baby bottle.

"Fully full, really full, no, practically full."

Xuan Ziwen murmured softly, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

"A charging device that recharges the baby bottle without relying on the power of a Soul Master, and a sealed baby bottle."

He was talking to himself, his voice sometimes loud and sometimes soft.

The next moment, Xuan Ziwen suddenly realized what was happening. He picked out a few sealed bottles from among the dozen or so bottles, and stumbled into the power supply compartment of the Ammonite, carrying the sealed bottles. He then tentatively inserted the fully charged sealed bottles into the Ammonite's power supply compartment.

Soon, a series of prompts appeared on the control panel of the Ammonite, informing Xuan Ziwen that several new energy bottles had been inserted as reserves.

"It's done! It's really done!"

Xuan Ziwen almost went mad, looking at the huge ammonite shell in front of him, and the power pillar that emitted a force field to restrain the artificial soul core and easily provided energy to the milk bottle, he wished he could worship it.
