Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 588 Your Free Soul Guidance Tool Has Arrived (8K)

When a Soul Master uses this armor backpack, the effect is greater than the sum of its parts.

Just like Wang Dong'er's previous performance, the armor backpack served to make up for her weaknesses and amplify her strengths, causing Wang Dong'er's combat power to increase dramatically.

However, if Wang Dong'er is injured and unable to fight, she can find a place to hide, take off her armor, and remotely control it to harass the enemy, thus creating a valuable window for counterattack or retreat.

Although the remotely controlled battle armor backpack has poor endurance and its explosive power is not as good as the effect of combining with a Soul Master, the ability to fight independently of the Soul Master is already an epoch-making feat.

Even in the worst-case scenario, the armor backpack can activate the energy cannon mode, allowing you to rush to the enemy and detonate it directly, serving as a one-time life-saving device.

Hmm, this life-saving equipment looks similar to the one Huo Yuhao concocted that almost took away half of Long Xiaoyao's life—both involve killing the enemy and saving one's own life.

As he explained, Huo Yuhao controlled the armor backpack to climb onto Elder Xuan's body, wrapping it around Elder Xuan's back. Some of the six mechanical claws held wine gourds, while others held chicken legs, making it look rather comical.

"Okay, this is good."

Elder Xuan's eyes lit up. He took over control from Huo Yuhao. With his strong mental power, he naturally didn't need the pure purple-gold helmet to assist in the operation. He happily controlled the six mechanical claws, each holding a different food.

"Elders, the armor backpack that Elder Xuan is currently using is the culmination of this new technology line, but in essence it is still a semi-finished product, an experimental machine among experimental machines."

"Currently, in the field of armor backpacks, my research focuses on two directions."

"The first issue is how to reduce the production cost of the armor backpack. This is also the problem with other similar soul tools such as gyroplanes. Their cost is too high. If we want to popularize them on a large scale, the cost issue is an insurmountable obstacle."

"Take the armor backpack that Elder Xuan is using now, for example. Even without considering the labor costs, it would cost no less than a million to replicate a set. Moreover, it seems that all armor backpacks need to be custom-made according to the user's characteristics. It is definitely a work of great effort by Tao Shen."

"Besides that, I'm working on tackling the technical challenges of this field, gradually expanding the battle armor backpack into a full-body armor. But my own strength is ultimately limited. Making this soul tool into a chest armor backpack is already my personal limit."

"Therefore, I will compile the technology of this battle armor backpack into a technical document and involve all the students of the Soul Guidance Department of the academy in the development, so as to concentrate our efforts on this important task and strive to turn the battle armor backpack into a Soul Guidance Battle Armor as soon as possible."

"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao's words shocked everyone present. All the elders' eyes revealed shock, and as they looked at each other, they saw the intense light in each other's eyes.

Elder Xuan further advised, "Yuhao, you should think this through. The value of these technologies is immeasurable. You can obtain inexhaustible profits from them."

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Everyone, as a member of the Sea God Pavilion, it is normal for me to contribute to the academy. Moreover, as I said before, an individual's strength is limited."

"Moreover, the subsequent expansion of this technology is closely related to Mingdetang's 'Number One' experimental subject. Just figuring out all the technical directions of the Number One experimental subject has already exhausted me both physically and mentally. It is absolutely impossible for one person to fully understand the technology of the Number One experimental subject."

"The 'Number One' test subject itself is the product of countless years of hard work by numerous advanced soul masters of Mingde Hall. To fully master the technology and transform it into a full-body soul-guided battle armor on the 'mind control type soul-guided device' technology path is definitely not a task that one person can accomplish."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao handed over his experimental subject "Number One," which he had placed in the giant starlight sapphire storage soul tool, to the group of elders.

Just by glancing at the giant metal soul guide in the storage soul guide with their spiritual power, the elders of Shrek Academy gasped in shock once again. This giant metal soul guide contained almost 70% of the technological achievements of the Sun Moon Empire.

Thousands upon thousands of soul tools with various functions make up this colossal behemoth. No wonder Huo Yuhao said that he was already exhausted just from figuring out all the technical directions of the first experimental subject. Figuring out all the technologies used in this thing is basically equivalent to reading through the entire catalog of soul tool technologies of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Yes, Yuhao's choice is correct. We should develop the soul-guided battle armor based on the technology of this first experimental subject, instead of continuing to develop this soul-guided giant."

With just one glance, Xian Lin'er saw the problem with the first experimental subject and agreed with Huo Yuhao's idea of ​​making it lightweight and portable.

The research on Experiment Subject No. 1 has reached a point where it has become a political task rather than a scientific research task. The reason is simple: no matter how sophisticated the controller of Experiment Subject No. 1 is, it is absolutely insufficient in battles at the level of Title Douluo or even Super Douluo.

Other titled Douluo, in order to keep up with the fast-paced battles of their opponents, still need to concentrate fully and train every muscle in their bodies to the point of being as responsive as their own limbs.

The first experimental subject actually needed the controller to relay the command through the control system before it could take an effective action?

They're just sitting ducks.

However, perhaps because no one discovered this drawback before the first experimental subject was initiated, it was only when the first experimental subject was almost completed that it was discovered that this thing was basically only of academic significance and had no practical combat performance.

This is why the first experimental subject at Mingde Hall was always "expected to be deployed to the battlefield within fifty years".

On the contrary, Huo Yuhao's idea of ​​using his mental power to control the soul tool and miniaturize the soul tool metal giant is actually quite feasible, and there is even a semi-finished product.

"Esteemed elders, the new soul tool is the product of the intersection of multiple technological paths. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother He and Brother Ning Ge to provide some supplementary information and introductions on other technical details."

After explaining the basic situation, Huo Yuhao controlled the armor backpack to climb back onto the table in the Sea God Pavilion. The six bionic tentacles retracted, and it transformed back into the armor backpack.

Did Huo Yuhao really suffer a loss? Of course not.

Aside from the Sun Moon Empire, where else could Huo Yuhao find so many mid-to-high-level Soul Masters with various ideas, working tirelessly and contributing their sweat and wisdom to a technological development direction, all to add bricks and tiles to the technological path he proposed?

He got so many people to help him climb the tech tree for free, and the only price he had to pay was to spend some time teaching at the beginning. Even so, Ning Ge and He Caitou helped him share the burden. He was making a killing!

If Huo Yuhao and the liches of the undead demiplane were to figure this thing out on their own, even if Huo Yuhao were to reach the Limit Douluo level, he probably still wouldn't be able to overcome all those technical hurdles.

Thinking that it wouldn't be long before the geniuses of the Soul Guidance Department in the academy were all overwhelmed with worry because of these things, even in such a serious place as the Sea God Pavilion meeting, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smirk slightly.
