Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 539 Return (Daily 10,000 words)

As for the Shrek students other than He Caitou, their research on soul tools was negligible, and he was confident in that.

Take Huo Yuhao, for example. In just two years at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he managed to create a soul-guided cooling chopstick for cooling noodles, which turned out to be somewhat useful.

Thinking about this, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

However, Huo Yuhao's talent for using soul tools in combat still made Jing Hongchen wary.

According to intelligence provided by the Crown Prince's faction, it seems that Teacher Xuan Ziwen has created a kind of bionic soul-guided mechanical tentacle. When he and Huo Yuhao went out to experiment, they encountered rebels, and Huo Yuhao used this soul-guided device to display great power.

How wonderful it would be if Huo Yuhao's fighting talent were transferred to his grandchildren!

Just as Jing Hongchen was lost in thought, He Caitou had already taken the ring and put it on his own finger, saying, "Deal."

As he spoke, he touched his storage soul tool, took out a small box, and handed it to Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen dared not be careless and quickly opened the box to check. Inside was a roll of blueprints, drawn with great precision. With Jing Hongchen's keen eye, he only glanced at it briefly before determining that it was a genuine blueprint, and the contents of the blueprints immediately gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Finally, they got it. This was the exact same feeling as He Caitou and Jing Hongchen at this moment, and perhaps Huo Yuhao should be added to the list as well.

No matter how outrageously high the price Beibei and Xiaoya ask for, he's determined to acquire these precious supplies of silver dragon scales.

As for other rare metals, Huo Yuhao could obtain them sooner or later with the undead demiplane as a transfer channel, so he wasn't that concerned about them.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Jing Hongchen looked at He Caitou with a half-smile.

He Caitou gave a simple, honest smile and scratched his head: "I don't think so. Our academy's Elder Mu is still here."

Mirror Red Dust: "."

You've killed the conversation. He still gets chills thinking about how Elder Mu once quietly visited Mingde Hall. Now you've brought him up directly, and he doesn't know how to respond.

Jing Hongchen's smug old face froze instantly, his smile solidified on his face.

"Let's go, I'll see you off."

Jing Hongchen could only forcefully change the subject.

After saying that, Jing Hongchen hurriedly called on the teachers next to him to release their flying soul tools, escorting the Shrek Academy students into the air and heading straight east.

Along the way, most of the Shrek Academy students showed eagerness and excitement on their faces.

I can finally go back.

For them, Shrek Academy was the place they were most familiar with, a place where they could completely relax on weekdays.

The constant need to be careful at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is truly exhausting, both physically and mentally.

However, despite the many inconveniences of life for international students, the two and a half years also exposed them to many of the most advanced concepts in the production and use of soul tools, from which everyone benefited greatly.

Several hours later, with Jing Hongchen's accurate location, they arrived at the exchange point that both sides had already agreed upon.

Jing Hongchen led everyone down slowly, while the Shrek Academy students had already arrived on the other side.

The person who came to complete the exchange was still Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy. Accompanying Yan Shaozhe was Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy.

The fact that both deans attended shows how much Shrek Academy values ​​this exchange.

These are the only two Shrek Academy members who are publicly present; the rest are exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen didn't seem to have changed much, after all, they were already adults when they started exchanging knowledge and learning from each other, unlike Huo Yuhao who was in his adolescence.

The siblings' gazes became more focused, and they immediately turned their attention to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao, however, wore a smile, appearing completely unconcerned.

"Master Hongchen, we meet again." Yan Shaozhe walked forward with a smile. Although he was speaking to Jing Hongchen, his gaze was fixed on Huo Yuhao.

Although Huo Yuhao has changed quite a bit in terms of physique and even his temperament, Yan Shaozhe would not mistake him for someone else.

Huo Yuhao's aura became increasingly restrained, like a peerless sword that had learned to conceal its edge; his spirit and energy were far stronger than when he first left the academy.

Xian Lin'er's gaze was much more fervent than Yan Shaozhe's. She also understood better than Yan Shaozhe how much Huo Yuhao had contributed to Shrek Academy in the past two years. At this moment, she looked at him as if he were a living Bodhisattva.

It can be said that with the continuous input of numerous soul tool blueprints, Shrek Academy has successfully built a complete technological line. For a long time to come, they only need to follow the blueprints and keep going, without even having to consider the matter of technological trial and error.

Why do many technologies initially block everyone, but once one faction breaks through, the others can follow suit?

Because the path has been cleared, everyone knows that if you invest money in this route, it will definitely work, rather than becoming a dead end.

Just like how the Sun Moon Empire developed flight-type propulsion soul tools, the Star Luo and Heavenly Spirit Empires also developed similar soul tools within a few years.

Now, Shrek Academy can follow these blueprints to rapidly advance the Soul Guidance Technology Tree, saving them thousands of years of catching up time.

Jing Hongchen had no idea that Huo Yuhao, the exchange student with the worst talent for soul tools in his eyes, had already secretly gotten a big one behind his back.

Huo Yuhao meticulously copied every single soul tool that was exposed in Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, including numerous research materials and experimental data.

Who cares if he'll ever need this stuff? Anyway, Huo Yuhao is just spacing out in Mingde Hall, so he might as well just copy everything he got from the mental scan first.

"Dean Yan, hello. You're still as charming as ever."

Jing Hongchen smiled slightly, stepped forward, and shook hands with Yan Shaozhe.

Both old foxes had smiling faces; if you didn't know them, you would definitely think they were very good friends.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Master Hongchen, I have returned your grandson and granddaughter to you intact. They have made great progress in the past two years and are very diligent and eager to learn. I am very satisfied. I hope there will be more exchanges and learning opportunities like this in the future."

Jing Hongchen chuckled and said, "Let's go back and discuss it to see if we can make this exchange a regular occurrence. If so, I believe it will be more beneficial to the development of both our academies."

"Then I'll await good news."

Yan Shaozhe released Jing Hongchen's hand, and the two smiled and bowed to each other, while also making hand gestures to their respective groups.
