Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

He turned and walked toward the elevator, with Nana following closely behind.

The two left the Qingse Hotel along the same route, walked through the quiet streets of Mingdu in the night, and finally returned to the gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The night breeze was cool, and the moonlight cast long shadows of the two people.

Huo Yuhao stopped and turned to look at Nana beside him. His voice was calm but carried an undeniable certainty: "I will rescue your parents within a year."

Nana shuddered. She looked up, and her usually cold and sharp eyes were now filled with tears that she could no longer suppress.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Two lines of clear tears silently slid down her cheeks, leaving two glistening tear tracks on her always taut face.

Over the years, she has done countless things against her conscience for the Holy Spirit Church, each one dragging her into a deeper abyss, with no end in sight.

Now, finally someone has given her a promise, a promise that gives her hope.

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the dormitory building.

Nana stood there, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and watched the figure gradually disappear into the night, remaining motionless for a long time.

..........................................

Early in the morning, Huo Yuhao arrived at the laboratory on time.

As soon as he stepped inside, he felt two pairs of eyes fixed on him.

Orange sat on the left side of the lab table, her carving knife lying on the table at some point.

Keke sat next to her, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, filled with undisguised surprise and apprehension.

Yesterday, Wang Shaojie and Zimu cornered Huo Yuhao in the lab, and Ju Zi and Ke Ke witnessed the whole thing.

Wang Shaojie and Zi Mu launched their attack simultaneously, but just as Wang Shaojie's hand was about to touch Huo Yuhao, the two suddenly turned around and started fighting each other without warning, as if possessed.

The dull thud of fists hitting flesh and the crisp sound of blades slicing through bone revealed the ferocity of their attack, as if they were facing not classmates, but mortal enemies.

If it weren't for Ju Zi's timely intervention to forcibly separate the two, they might have actually fought each other to death.

No one would believe that this matter has nothing to do with Huo Yuhao.

But what shocked them even more was yet to come.

When Wang Shaojie and Zimu woke up afterward, Ju Zi tentatively asked them about Huo Yuhao, but they both looked blank, as if that person didn't exist in their memories at all.

Wang Shaojie, who is usually vindictive and acts arrogantly in the academy because of his royal background, actually showed no intention of retaliating after suffering such a great loss.

This bizarre and unpredictable method sent a chill down the spines of both Ju Zi and Ke Ke.

Huo Yuhao met the two complicated gazes with a calm expression and nodded slightly to them as a greeting.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she walked straight to Xuan Ziwen and began today's study.

As usual, Xuan Ziwen finished explaining today's content one by one, and Huo Yuhao, as always, digested all the knowledge points on the spot.

However, after the class ended, Huo Yuhao did not leave immediately as usual, but instead called out to Xuan Ziwen, who was packing up his notes.

"Teacher, I want to make a soul tool. I'm still missing a few materials. Could you please help me purchase them?"

Last night, although he bought a lot of rare metals in the underground black market of the Qingse Hotel, he still couldn't find the key materials needed to make that soul tool.

Those metals are strictly controlled by the authorities and are extremely rare even on the black market.

Currently, the only hope of obtaining it is through the channels of the researcher at Xuanzi Wenming Detang.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

Huo Yuhao had only been learning from him for two or three days, yet he was already making his own soul tool independently. He must have been using the new knowledge he had learned in those few days.

Xuan Ziwen seemed quite looking forward to it.

After all, Huo Yuhao is a genius who can create his own energy storage array, so the level of the soul tool he wants to make might not be high.

But the creativity and ingenuity contained within might even inspire him, a teacher.

“Of course.” Xuan Ziwen nodded without hesitation. “Make a list of the metals you need and I’ll go and buy them for you.”

"Thank you, teacher." Huo Yuhao was clearly prepared. He took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Xuan Ziwen took the note and unfolded it, his eyes scanning over the neat handwriting on it.

The names and quantities of several rare metals were clearly listed; they were all key materials needed to create the core formation.

He nodded slightly, put the note into his pocket, and said, "I will bring all the metal over in three days."

After saying that, he put away the notes and materials on the table, turned around and left the laboratory.

Aside from teaching these few students, he spent almost all his remaining time in Mingde Hall researching soul guides, and today was no exception.

After Xuan Ziwen left, Huo Yuhao did not linger in the laboratory.

Under the complex and unfathomable gazes of Orange and Coco, he turned and walked out of the laboratory.

Last night, he bought not only rare metals on the black market, but also the medicinal herbs he needed.

Now, it's time to go back and process those medicinal herbs.

Back in his dormitory, Huo Yuhao locked the door and took out the items he had bought from the black market the night before.

The medicinal herbs were arranged on the table in different categories, each with its own roots, stems, leaves, and fruits, emitting varying degrees of medicinal fragrance.

He took out a small alchemy furnace from his storage ring. The furnace was made of dark copper-colored refractory metal, and several simple auxiliary magic arrays were engraved on its walls.

He bought this item casually last night from an inconspicuous stall in a corner of the black market; it was enough to refine the pills he needed.

Chapter 47 Alchemy, Level 15 (Please continue reading!)

In his world, he destroyed the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, forged a blood feud with Shrek Academy, made countless enemies, and killed countless people.

Among those enemies who were devoured were many Soul Masters skilled in alchemy.

Their souls were devoured by him, and their memories naturally fell into his hands as well, including many precious elixir formulas.

There are several pill formulas specifically designed to rapidly increase soul power, but the materials are scarce and the refining process is extremely difficult.

But for Huo Yuhao, who possesses the mental strength of a god-king, alchemy itself is not a difficult task.

He sat cross-legged, placed the alchemy furnace in front of him, and with a slight lift of his right hand, a ball of inky black flame silently rose from his palm.

That flame was not an ordinary soul power fire, but a special flame that he condensed with chaotic power.

The flames licked the bottom of the furnace, casting a dark, eerie glow over the entire room, yet strangely, they emitted no heat whatsoever.

Only the alchemy furnace, enveloped in flames, began to slowly heat up.

With a flick of his left hand, Huo Yuhao sent the medicinal herbs on the table flying into the furnace one by one, as if drawn by invisible threads.

The timing of each medicinal herb falling into the furnace was precise to the millimeter.

Under the scorching heat of the inky black flames, it quickly melted into a medicinal liquid, with impurities being peeled away and evaporated bit by bit, leaving only the purest essence.

His spiritual power, like the most precise carving knife, probed into the furnace, steadily separating the several clumps of medicinal liquid, refining each one to its extreme before slowly converging into one place.

The furnace lid fell, and the inky black flames suddenly contracted, enveloping the entire furnace in a black cocoon.

Before long, a strange medicinal fragrance quietly escaped from the gap in the stove lid. The fragrance was not strong, but it had a sweet scent that made one's pores open up.

Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity, raised his hand and withdrew, the flames dissipated completely, the furnace lid flew off, and a bright green pill lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

The pill was no bigger than a thumb, and it was crystal clear, like a precious pearl carved from the finest jade.

Its surface shimmers with a faint luster, and upon closer inspection, one can almost see wisps of life slowly flowing within the elixir.

The strange medicinal fragrance grew stronger and stronger, and even just smelling it made the soul power in one's body show signs of accelerating.

Huo Yuhao held the pill between his fingertips for a moment, then without hesitation, put it directly into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a warm medicinal power surged down his throat into his abdomen. Then, like an exploding fireball, it spread out with a roar, transforming into countless streams of heat that flowed into his limbs and bones.

He closed his eyes and channeled his soul power to guide the medicinal effects through his meridians.

The immense medicinal power surged and roared through his meridians like a wild horse, causing them to swell and throb wherever it passed.

If it were an ordinary person, the impact of this medicinal power alone would be enough to shatter their meridians.

However, Huo Yuhao's body, having been refined by the carving knife of living beings, has meridians with resilience far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Furthermore, his god-king level mental power precisely controlled the flow of each medicinal force, managing to tame this violent medicinal power completely.

Wherever the medicine went, it felt as if countless warm hands were massaging every inch of his bones.

His entire body was enveloped in a warm, comforting sensation, and the spiritual energy within his meridians surged and churned like a rising tide, wave after wave crashing against his dantian.

Huo Yuhao's soul power level began to climb at an almost insane speed.

In a short span of time, he broke through four levels from level 11 to level 15, and steadily stopped at the level 15 threshold.

A single pill can increase one's soul power by four levels. If word of such efficacy were to spread, it would drive all the alchemists on the Douluo Continent into a frenzy.

However, such terrifying drug effects come at an equally staggering cost.

The poison in this pill is extremely potent. After taking the pill, it will settle deep in the meridians, causing the soul power to stagnate for nearly a year and resulting in irreversible damage to lifespan.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people; for Huo Yuhao, none of these problems exist.

His god-king level mental power allowed him to precisely control those poisonous pills, peeling them off one by one and expelling them from his body.

In addition, his Eye of Life grants him immense vitality, enough to repair any damage the moment the poison erodes his body.

What others feared like a tiger was, in his view, merely an extra step in the refining process.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, feeling the surge of soul power within his body, and nodded in satisfaction.

Level 15, which was better than he expected.

"What a pity." He shook his head slightly and sighed inwardly. "This stuff has too much resistance. After taking one, taking a second one will basically have no effect. It's even more outrageous than the Xuan Shui Dan."

Otherwise, with this kind of pill, he could have directly reached level 20 and his plan to obtain his second martial soul could have been brought forward by a lot.

However, breaking through to level 15 is already quite good. With his current cultivation speed, breaking through to level 20 Great Soul Master within a year is a sure thing.

"The materials will arrive in three more days, but there's no rush regarding the soul tool."

Huo Yuhao put the alchemy furnace and the remaining medicinal herbs back into his storage ring, and looked through the gap in the curtains at the gradually darkening sky.

"Tonight, let's hunt down those evil spirit masters hiding in Mingdu."
