Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 53 Undercurrents

"Keep this item safe and give it to Xiao when he breaks through level 90. If he can awaken his martial soul, that would be best. If not, it will still be good for him to absorb soul rings and soul bones."

"Master, what about Yuhao?" Old Ma asked hesitantly.

Master Ma witnessed firsthand how much Jing Hongchen valued Huo Yuhao, and he couldn't understand why she didn't leave the embryo to Huo Yuhao.

"This isn't a stroke of luck for Yuhao. This creature is a soul beast captured from the far north. Yuhao's second martial soul is from the Ice Jade Scorpion clan of the far north, so giving it to him won't significantly improve his abilities. Mingde Hall has abundant resources, which Yuhao can't possibly utilize alone. He also needs his peers to share the burden. Alright, go ahead and get busy. This isn't something you should be worrying about."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand, signaling Old Ma to leave.

Old Ma responded and left with the soul beast embryo, as this thing needed to be preserved for a long time.

Once Jing Hongchen was left alone in the secret room, his expression immediately darkened.

It's not because of anything else, it's because of that level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform.

Previously, the original Douluo Three Kingdoms had an extremely conservative attitude towards soul tools. In addition, due to the defeat in the Holy War a thousand years ago, most of the soul masters who originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms looked down on soul tools.

This has led to their extremely slow development of soul tools. Although their attitude has improved in recent years, even the conservative Shrek Academy has opened a soul tool department.

However, due to the extreme difficulty of advancing to the ninth level of Soul Master, no Soul Master capable of creating ninth-level Soul Tools has yet emerged in the Three Kingdoms period.

Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire established strict laws to closely monitor the outflow of level nine soul tools.

Jing Hongchen was one of the people who participated in the formulation and supervision of the enforcement of the laws. In his memory, the Sun Moon Empire did not allow the export of sealing-type level nine soul tools.

However, the Conferred God Platform was clearly placed in front of him, how could he not be furious?

"The country is in turmoil. His Majesty's health is deteriorating, and people with ulterior motives are emerging. The empire is about to become unstable."

Jing Hongchen was helpless in this situation; anger sometimes represents powerlessness.

This person dared to openly sell the Conferred God Platform to the Starlight Auction House, so there must be strong support behind him.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall, bearing the name of the royal family, naturally represent the interests of the imperial family. The Hongchen family is also one of the most powerful families in the Sun Moon Empire, which is why they are able to control these two institutions.

But even with Jing Hongchen's power, he probably still couldn't shake this person.

The Hongchen family has always been loyal only to the emperor and has never participated in the power struggles within the royal family. However, judging from the incident at the Conferred God Platform, the internal strife within the royal family seems to have become quite serious.

It will be extremely difficult for Mingdetang and the Hongchen family to remain unscathed.

"I hope that day will come later." Jing Hongchen sighed heavily.

The passing of an old king and the ascension of a new one is often accompanied by a terrifying storm of bloodshed.

……

The undercurrents at the top will not be out in the open for the time being, as Huo Yuhao has just finished his seclusion.

In just half a month, Huo Yuhao had already added all of his soul power to the power of creation, which was formed by the fusion of five powers.

However, so far, apart from making his soul power more solid and of higher quality, and increasing the power of his soul skills, the power of creation has not shown any other benefits.

Huo Yuhao was rather frustrated by this. Wasn't it supposed to be the path to godhood? Why are there so few benefits?

After learning of Huo Yuhao's thoughts, Electrolux laughed and scolded, "Yuhao, why don't you understand the principle of being down-to-earth? You've become so greedy."

The method of divine communication that Elder Yi taught Huo Yuhao was not to make him powerful immediately, but to show him a path to becoming stronger.

As long as you have the desire to become stronger, you will find your way smoothly on this path, and the benefits will gradually become apparent in the future.

After listening to Elder Yi's explanation, Huo Yuhao's frustration gradually dissipated. Yes, how could power appear out of thin air? It still requires one to cultivate it step by step.

With his mind clear, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and walked out of his secluded place with boundless anticipation for the future. He wanted to continue to become stronger.

Huo Yuhao came to Xuan Ziwen's laboratory again. He didn't see his teacher when he came back last time, but he had to come and pay his respects this time after he came out of seclusion.

As soon as the door opened, Huo Yuhao saw Xuan Ziwen frowning at a strange soul tool, as if he was thinking about something.

This must be the soul tool that the teacher went out to test, Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

"Teacher, you're back," Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

Xuan Ziwen was so engrossed in thinking about the soul tool that he didn't notice Huo Yuhao coming in until Huo Yuhao spoke, which brought him back to his senses.

"Yuhao, you've emerged from seclusion." Clearly, Ju Zi had already informed him that Huo Yuhao had gone into seclusion.

"Yes, teacher. What type of soul tool is this? I don't think I've ever seen one before," Huo Yuhao said, pointing to the strange soul tool.

"This is a detection-type soul tool. You haven't been studying at the academy for very long, so there are many soul tools you haven't seen before. For now, you'll stay here and learn how to make soul tools with me. Don't wander off."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Huo Yuhao is currently only a level 2 Soul Master, and can only make some basic Soul Tools. He has not yet come into contact with more complex Soul Tools.

After witnessing Huo Yuhao's talent, Xuan Ziwen naturally began to feel dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's current situation.

I plan to urge him to deepen his learning about soul tools.

"Yes, teacher. But I might have to go out for a while. I've hit a bottleneck in my soul power cultivation and need to acquire a soul ring," Huo Yuhao said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

In fact, his progress in learning soul tools was by no means slow. After more than a year of using soul tools, he had already become a level two soul tool master.

At this point, Senior Sister Orange had barely become a Level 1 Soul Master, which already made her a rare genius.

However, given his talent, Xuan Ziwen's encouragement is understandable.

"You've reached level 30?"

Xuan Ziwen was slightly shocked by Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed. Wasn't he only level 23 when he went out to compete? It's only been three months, right?

However, he recovered quickly; geniuses are always different from the crowd.

Without asking further questions, Xuan Ziwen changed the subject:

"Perfect timing. There's still some data left to record on this soul tool. Take it with you and Orange to record the data. Orange recently broke through to the Soul King realm and needs to acquire a soul ring. Also, find two academy teachers to help you hunt soul beasts. I'm too busy to go."

Xuan Ziwen said these words as if it were the most natural thing in the world. His mind was entirely focused on developing soul tools. Ask him to fight? Wait another hundred years!

Huo Yuhao knew his teacher's personality, so he shook his head helplessly, agreed, and went out to find Senior Sister Ju Zi.

Just as he stepped out of the underground laboratory, he saw a girl with crystal blue eyes and long wine-red hair. She happened to be passing by and immediately spotted Huo Yuhao. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey Yuhao, good morning! You're out of seclusion!"
