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

Ju Zi and Ke Ke looked at each other in silence for several breaths before Ke Ke finally seemed to catch her breath and let out a long sigh.

She turned to look at Orange, her eyes filled with shock and lingering fear: "Sister Orange...did you see that just now? I couldn't understand his technique or the structure of that formation at all."

"He clearly used the framework of those basic magic arrays from the textbook, but I can't understand a single one of the auxiliary circuits he added!"

Is he really a beginner?

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her speech became faster and faster: "Thank goodness, thank goodness you stopped me back then!"

Keke grabbed Ju Zi's arm, her face full of relief. "If I hadn't listened to you that day and had actually bullied him, I would never have had a good life."

"A soul-guiding genius of this caliber will definitely be a core researcher at Mingde Hall in the future. Crushing me would be as easy as crushing an ant for him!"

Ju Zi let her hold her arm and shake it back and forth without saying a word.

Her gaze remained fixed on the spot where Huo Yuhao had just stood, her eyes flickering slightly as if she were deep in thought.

That day in the lab, Wang Shaojie and Zi Mu inexplicably started fighting, while Huo Yuhao didn't lift a finger the whole time.

Today, she witnessed the boy's mastery of soul tools firsthand, his almost instinctive skill, and the array designs that even she, a senior student, couldn't comprehend.

He always remained nonchalant about these things that shocked others, as if everything was perfectly normal.

And this person was just an eleven-year-old freshman who had only been in school for a few days.

Orange pursed her lips slightly and looked away.

After leaving the laboratory, Huo Yuhao went straight out of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and headed towards the outskirts of Mingdu City.

After passing through several bustling streets and around a cluster of low-rise houses, he arrived at a secluded grove of wild trees.

He selected a clearing in the woods, took off the miniature tower-shaped device from his waist, and placed it flat in his palm.

The source of chaos gleamed with a dark silver light in the afternoon sun. The three-tiered tower was tightly fitted together, and a faint halo flowed deep within the jet-black gem at the top.

He scanned the surroundings, spreading his spiritual power to confirm that there was no sign of anyone within a radius of several hundred meters, and then slowly injected his soul power into the tower.

The three-tiered tower lit up one after another, with dark silver light illuminating each tier from bottom to top.

The Source of Chaos currently has three core abilities: overclocking mental energy, siphoning mental energy, and releasing mental pollution.

After all, he was a pure spirit-attribute soul master in his previous life, so the soul tools he used were basically related to spiritual power.

The first test was mental power overclocking. Huo Yuhao's eyes turned jet black, and the soul skill of Chaotic Touch condensed at his fingertips without being released.

Just before the soul skill was about to be released, the jet-black gem at the top of the Chaos Source Tower suddenly lit up.

An invisible wave rippled outwards, resonating precisely with the soul skill he was about to unleash.

The power of the soul skill suddenly increased before it was even released.

The surrounding air was slightly distorted under the amplified mental pressure, and several birds that happened to be flying by scattered in terror.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, then gently flicked his finger on the side of the tower, switching to the second function: mental pollution release.

The tower's light shifted from a dark silver to a near-gloomy green hue, and an invisible, low-frequency spiritual wave emanated from the tower, quietly spreading in all directions.

The fluctuations were silent and imperceptible to mortals, yet their effects were immediate.

The chirping of insects that had been rising and falling in the woods suddenly became chaotic, and several squirrels hiding in tree holes began to scratch at the bark with their paws in agitation.

Even a wild rabbit foraging in the distance stopped what it was doing, its ears twitching nervously and its hooves pawing at the ground, as if disturbed by something unseen.

As for the third item, mental energy absorption, it could not be fully tested in a peaceful environment without combat.

However, he could sense that the energy storage core was actively absorbing the faint energy dissipating from the surrounding environment, and its functions were operating normally.

Huo Yuhao withdrew the source of chaos into his palm, shut down all the active formations, and nodded in satisfaction.

This soul tool is currently equivalent to a level 5 soul tool.

If the power of chaos is injected into it, its power can be increased to another level. If the power of chaos is re-condensed in the future, its power will be incomparable.

The difference in driving force makes this soul tool far superior to other soul tools.

After all, the quality of chaotic power far exceeds that of ordinary soul power, not to mention divine power.

"This is only the initial version." He stroked the intricate array patterns on the tower and murmured to himself, as if talking to an old friend.

"I'll upgrade you when your cultivation level improves. Old buddy, it won't be long before you're back to your former strength."

At this point, another matter came to mind.

During his battle with Tang San, he burned his divine artifact, but the artifact was not completely destroyed; it shattered into countless fragments that sank into the depths of his spiritual sea.

Once the first wisp of divine power is re-condensed, one can attempt to use that power to nurture the fragments and restore the artifact to its original state.

However, whether it's upgrading the source of chaos or repairing the artifact, these things can't be rushed; they can only be done step by step.

Gathering his chaotic thoughts, Huo Yuhao hung the Source of Chaos back on his waist and turned to walk towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The completion of the Source of Chaos significantly enhanced his combat power.

As long as he doesn't provoke enemies of too high a level, he can resolve the situation without using the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Chapter 52 Mingde Hall (Please continue reading!)

Three days later, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

In the laboratory, Ju Zi, Ke Ke, Wang Shaojie, and others had already left one after another, leaving only Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen in the huge room.

During this period, Xuan Ziwen was busy with the final work of remotely monitoring the soul tool and came to the laboratory very few times. Today, he finally managed to find some free time and took the opportunity to talk to Huo Yuhao about the progress over the past two weeks.

Xuan Ziwen was holding Huo Yuhao's miniature tower-shaped soul tool in his hand, examining it over and over for a long time.

His gaze swept from the energy storage circuit at the bottom of the tower all the way to the spiritual resonance core at the top.

He then moved inch by inch over the meticulously detailed auxiliary array patterns on the outer shell, his eyes filled with amazement.

The interconnections between those formations were truly ingenious; every circuit was linked together, every node was perfectly positioned, and the overall structure was perfectly formed.

Even he, an eighth-level soul master who had been immersed in the research of soul tools for decades, couldn't help but think to himself, "So this is how it can be designed."

After looking at it for a long time, Xuan Ziwen handed the Source of Chaos back to Huo Yuhao, sighed deeply, and said with a touch of heartfelt emotion, "This thing is simply like a soul tool that has transcended this era."

He paused, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao's calm and expressionless face, and finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time: "Yuhao, before you entered the academy, who taught you how to make soul tools?"

He didn't beat around the bush; his tone was serious and solemn. The advanced production techniques Huo Yuhao had demonstrated, as well as the unheard-of array structures, all piqued his curiosity.

It's simply impossible for an eleven-year-old boy to learn this skill without a teacher, relying solely on talent.

Huo Yuhao hung the Source of Chaos back on his waist and replied calmly, "Indeed, a mysterious Soul Master taught me."

He paused, then added, "However, I cannot reveal too much about that senior's identity."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen did not ask any further questions.

Every Soul Master has their own secrets, and since Huo Yuhao was unwilling to say more, he wouldn't press him for details.

He nodded slightly and changed the subject.

"By the way," Xuan Ziwen changed the subject, a renewed sense of anticipation rekindling in his eyes, "what progress has been made on the energy storage array in the past two weeks?"

Huo Yuhao didn't speak, but took out something he had prepared beforehand from under the lab table and placed it on the table.

It was a simple handheld soul tool with a cylindrical outer shell and a handle at the end, made entirely of silver-white metal.

Two energy storage arrays are engraved on the outer shell, and there is a faint glow of soul power flowing between the array patterns.

This soul tool is called the Energy Storage Ray. As long as it is fully charged in advance, even an ordinary person without soul power can shoot out a soul power ray by pulling the activation device on the handle.

Xuan Ziwen's eyes lit up when they fell on the two energy storage arrays.

He grabbed the energy-storing ray and examined it closely for a while, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

Although he knew the principle of the energy storage array, the shock and excitement he felt when he actually saw a complete energy-charging soul tool in front of him still far exceeded his expectations.

"Let's test its power." Huo Yuhao pointed to the target area in the corner.

Without saying a word, Xuan Ziwen raised the energy storage beam, aimed it at the test wall made of a special alloy, and activated the device.

A beam of blazing white light shot out from the nozzle, leaving a blinding trail in the air before striking the wall with a deafening roar.

A dull thud echoed through the laboratory, and a hole nearly thirty centimeters deep was blasted into the wall, with dark red traces of burning still remaining at the edges.

"The power of a level three soul tool!" Xuan Ziwen blurted out, then turned his head sharply, looking at Huo Yuhao with an almost incredulous gaze.

When this boy enrolled, he only had level eleven soul power, and after half a month, he was only level sixteen.

With a soul power of level sixteen, he created an energy-storing ray with power approaching that of a level three soul tool.

Moreover, he achieved a soul power retention technology that even he had been researching for many years without being able to break through.

Either of these two events would have caused a sensation elsewhere, but they were both done by the same person.

While Xuan Ziwen was excited, he also felt a sense of helplessness that he couldn't quite explain.

The more talented Huo Yuhao is, the less his teacher can teach him.

In just half a month, he discovered that Huo Yuhao had already learned almost everything he could teach.

After a moment of silence, as if he had made up his mind, Xuan Ziwen suddenly said, "Yuhao, come with me." He took the energy-storing ray in his hand, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback; this had never happened in his world.

After all, according to the trajectory of his previous life, the energy storage soul tool would not be invented for a long time, but Xuan Ziwen did not take him to meet anyone because of this.

The butterfly effect is already taking hold.

"Who are we going to see?" Huo Yuhao got up and followed.

"You'll see when you come with me." Xuan Ziwen didn't answer directly, but his steps didn't falter, clearly indicating that he had already made up his mind.

Huo Yuhao watched his retreating figure, asked no more questions, and silently followed behind.

Led by Xuan Ziwen, the two left the laboratory and headed straight for the center of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The tree-lined path underfoot has been replaced by a wide stone-paved road, and the surrounding buildings have gradually changed from teaching buildings and dormitories to a group of buildings with a more austere style and stricter security.

Looking at the direction the road led, Huo Yuhao had a general idea of ​​where Xuan Ziwen was taking him.

Before long, the two arrived at the most central location of the academy.

What appeared before us was an unremarkable building.
