Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 64 What kind of new technology is this? (25 words per day)

"I remember when you first came to my shop with Jie, you noticed my right hand, didn't you?"

Ning Ge looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile, his little finger, ring finger and index finger stretched out, making a "tap-tap" sound as they collided with each other.

Huo Yuhao nodded. The other party's half of a soul-guided metal hand reminded Huo Yuhao of the prosthetic hand he had obtained from the sculptor. It was said that it was a prosthetic hand ninja tool personally made by Yongzhen's teacher, Daoxuan, for the sculptor. It was a ninja tool made with a fake bone that imitated human bones as its axis and could be equipped with various deadly weapons.

When Huo Yuhao used the ninja tool given to him by the Buddha Sculptor, it was covered with scars of all sizes, and was also covered with bloodstains and oil stains that could not be cleaned. Although it was not clean, it was clear that it had been carefully maintained.

"I figured this out myself. Back then, I was young and arrogant, thinking that I could make a name for myself with my level 5 Soul Master status. With five amplifications on me and a Soul Tool, the power I could unleash wouldn't be any less than that of a Battle Soul Master of the same level."

"But you saw the result," Ning Ge said, taking a couple of bites of noodles. "If it weren't for Jie Qu's selfless act of saving me, I would have lost more than just half a hand back then. He was only in his thirties at the time."

Huo Yuhao then understood what Jiechu meant by having a life-or-death friendship with Ning Ge.

"Although I didn't succeed in making support-type Soul Masters equal to or even surpass Battle Soul Masters, I did manage to research some other things in the past few years, besides making myself a Soul Guidance Metal Prosthetic Hand."

After the two quickly finished their noodles, Ning Ge led Huo Yuhao into Ning Ge's private soul tool development room.

Ning Ge had never let Huo Yuhao into this small room before. Today was the first time. Before Huo Yuhao came to this soul guide repair shop, Ning Ge ate, drank, and slept in this small room. He would only go to the outer room to receive guests.

Stepping into Ning Ge's small room, all sorts of soul tools made by Ning Ge himself were displayed on a huge shelf, with Ning Ge's workbench below the shelf for making and repairing soul tools.

Among these soul tools, the one that caught Huo Yuhao's attention the most was a huge metal arm.

It was a thick, exaggerated metal arm, placed quietly on the workbench support, radiating a unique indigo blue color from the mixture of crystal steel and tungsten steel.

Huo Yuhao had seen this special alloy before; each gram of it was worth a fortune.

Despite the fact that Huo Yuhao's barbecue restaurant at Shrek Academy provides him with a huge annual income of over 500,000 gold soul coins, even that pales in comparison to the massive flow of 500,000 gold soul coins made from this metal arm, which is a rare alloy synthesized at high temperatures from crystal steel and tungsten steel.

"My God."

Huo Yuhao let out a heartfelt shock. The cost of this arm, forged from rare metals, alone was an unbelievable 500,000 or more. What's more, this arm was inlaid with countless level 5 or even higher soul guidance core formations!

The parallel integrated constraint core, the wrist joint with the soul power rheology damper, the turbine multi-interface parallel soul power import core, and the insane arm kinetic propulsion device composed of blazing sun iron and refined gold are all linked to the soul guidance core.

These were all advanced soul guidance technologies that he had only seen in books or heard about from Ning Ge. Some of them were even super technologies used to manufacture level seven or even level eight soul guidance devices!

For example, the "soul power rheology damper wrist joint" on this metal arm's wrist joint—Huo Yuhao had only ever seen a blurry sketch of this technology in the "Sun and Moon Tips for Soul Guidance".

The sketch recorded a masterpiece made by a seventh-level soul guide master from the Sun Moon Royal Academy more than five hundred years ago: the Flame Demon Gauntlets, a seventh-level melee soul guide weapon.

Huo Yuhao vaguely remembered what the sketch looked like. It was a gauntlet that could cover the user's entire forearm. The gauntlet that covered the forearm boldly used the leather of a soul beast instead of rare metals, and the back of the gauntlet was engraved with the head of the soul beast Lava Lord.

When you clench your fist and infuse it with soul power, three red, high-energy soul power crystals will burst out from the tip of the gauntlet, like the three sharp fangs of a lava lord. When you swing your fist and strike the enemy, it will produce a violent explosion effect. It is most suitable for fire-attribute offensive soul masters.

Huo Yuhao vaguely remembered that the reason why the Flame Demon Gauntlets used soul beast leather as the arm covering instead of rare metal was because they used the groundbreaking technology of the "wrist joint of the soul power rheology damper".

The use of this technology not only prevents the user of the gauntlets from having their wrists broken by the strong explosive force even when using leather to cover their arms, but also greatly enhances the wrist joint flexibility of the gloves, a melee soul tool.

Although this is an old technology from 500 years ago for the Sun Moon Empire, even today, there aren't many Soul Masters among the three empires of Douluo Continent who can truly say they have mastered this technology.

After all, the application of this technology is very narrow. Learning this technology will not help them advance to the seventh level of Soul Master, but learning to inscribe the core formation of the seventh level Soul Master can.

This also reveals that, despite both being level seven soul masters, the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire and the soul masters of the Douluo side have a terrifyingly large gap in technical reserves in many minor details.

Huo Yuhao stared at Ning Ge in disbelief, his eyes filled with admiration. What did he do to deserve such guidance from this master of close-combat soul tools hidden in Shrek City on repairing his secondhand soul tools?

Ning Ge ignored Huo Yuhao's shocked look, put on an inconspicuous metal helmet, and started fiddling with the metal arm in front of him, seemingly adjusting something.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's mind was already racing. Originally, Huo Yuhao thought that he was already quite remarkable to be able to create a soul-guided kinetic energy axe that could almost shatter Xu Sanshi's martial soul under Ning Ge's guidance, as well as other soul-guided ninja tools that combined the ideas of ninja tools and soul tools.

But when he looked at it today, he realized that what he had made was, at best, something Ning Ge had already done.

"We cannot see the true face of Mount Lu, simply because we are in the mountain ourselves."

For no apparent reason, Huo Yuhao recalled a line of poetry that the Divine Child had once recited while he was dozing off.

"Watch closely, Yuhao."

Ning Ge's voice became muffled at this moment. Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw that Ning Ge was now wearing a fully enclosed helmet. Huo Yuhao recognized this metal. This metal was called pure purple gold, which could greatly resist the penetration of spiritual power.

The helmet Ning Ge was wearing, made of pure purple gold, had a triangular notch on it, as if it were guiding Ning Ge's mental energy to a designated location.

Huo Yuhao blinked, and saw Ning Ge turn his head, staring intently at the metal arm. He then extended his right arm and slowly clenched his fist. The giant soul-guided metal arm that was originally on the platform also slowly clenched its fist along with Ning Ge's movement.

"ha???"

Huo Yuhao stared wide-eyed in astonishment. What kind of technology was this? He had never seen it in any books before!

咥 is a level 3 Chinese character, pronounced dié. 咥 is a local dialect pronunciation from the Guanzhong Plain and Hexi Corridor area of ​​Shaanxi Province. It refers to a way of eating. Literally, 咥 means eating to the extreme.

I used this word because I got hungry a few days ago watching the scene where the Fifth Prince was eating noodles.

"Select the best chicks, bleed and wax them, coat them with more than ten kinds of spices, grind them into powder, mix them with flour, and finally press them out together. Just imagine, how could this dough not be fragrant?"
