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

The elevator slowly descended a hundred meters underground, the metal doors slid open, and the familiar metallic scent wafted out.

He walked through the corridor with practiced ease, arrived at Kong Deming's laboratory, and went straight in after confirming his identity.

"Grandmaster." Huo Yuhao bowed to Kong Deming, who was busy at the experimental table.

Kong Deming was bending over, adjusting a row of precision circuits on the inside of the humanoid soul tool arm armor. Hearing the sound, he stopped what he was doing, straightened up, and nodded slightly to him: "You're here. Come on, let's continue yesterday's lesson."

Chapter 60 Laughing at the World's Indignation (Please continue reading!)

After witnessing Huo Yuhao's astonishingly solid foundation and amazing creativity, Kong Deming adjusted his teaching methods.

He no longer teaches fixed knowledge modules in a step-by-step manner, as he would teach ordinary students.

Instead, he would pose a core question each time he taught a class, and then guide Huo Yuhao through subtle questioning and progressively deeper explanations, allowing him to think about and understand it on his own.

This teaching method demands a high level of talent from students; if used correctly, it's like adding wings to a tiger, but if used incorrectly, it's like casting pearls before swine.

Huo Yuhao just happens to be the person most suitable for this teaching method.

He already possessed the profound knowledge of a level 10 Soul Master from his previous life, and he could grasp the essence of every proposition posed by Kong Deming at the first moment, and even extend it to deeper levels of thought.

Even Kong Deming would pause and ponder for a moment when he occasionally offered a casual insight.

Just as the old man and the young man were engrossed in teaching, a crisp notification sound suddenly came from outside the laboratory door.

Jing Hongchen's familiar voice came through the communication device: "Elder Kong, it's me, Jing Hongchen. I need to see you."

Inside the lab, Kong Deming frowned slightly. Jing Hongchen had just come to see him last night, so why was she here again so early this morning?

However, he didn't ask any more questions. He casually pressed a button on the control panel, and the heavy metal door slid open silently.

Standing outside the door was Jing Hongchen, followed by a boy and a girl, both around fourteen or fifteen years old.

Kong Deming's gaze swept over Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, and his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

The moment the laboratory door opened, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen held their breath in unison.

Although they had never met Kong Deming in person, everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy knew the name of the only Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire who was infinitely close to level ten.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, their eyes simultaneously flashing with barely suppressed excitement.

"Does Grandpa want us to study under Master Kong?" Xiao Hongchen asked in a low voice, his tone filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Meng Hongchen didn't speak, but nodded vigorously, her wine-red eyes rippling with emotion.

Jing Hongchen straightened his robes, put on a smile, and stepped inside.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen dared not be negligent. They quickly suppressed their excitement and followed him respectfully, but their eyes involuntarily drifted towards the laboratory.

The unfinished humanoid soul tool on the experimental table was the first thing to catch their eye, and both of them were immediately struck by its beauty.

Only then did they notice the boy standing next to Kong Deming.

He looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old, wearing the uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with a calm expression, looking in their direction.

As soon as Jing Hongchen entered, he cupped his hands in greeting to Kong Deming and said with a smile, "Elder Kong, I apologize for disturbing you. I have a request that I would like to discuss with you."

Kong Deming's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Tell me."

Jing Hongchen didn't beat around the bush and directly pulled Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen in front of him, explaining his purpose in detail.

All I wanted was for Kong Deming to allow his grandson and granddaughter to study with him. He didn't need to go to any special trouble to teach them; he just wanted them to listen in when you were teaching Huo Yuhao.

He added that although the two children's talents were far inferior to your newly accepted student, they were still quite good and would definitely not cause you any trouble.

Kong Deming glanced at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. The two boys and girls, around fourteen or fifteen years old, had good potential and their eyes were quite clear.

He pondered for a moment, thinking that teaching one person was the same as teaching three, and since he wouldn't have to do anything extra, he nodded in agreement.

Jing Hongchen was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

He then turned around, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao, his small eyes, squeezed into slits by fat, filled with amazement.

It's hard to imagine how powerful his creativity must be to single-handedly solve the energy storage problem that had plagued Mingdetang for many years.

He bent down slightly, his tone unconsciously softening: "Child, what's your name?"

Facing the head of Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao remained calm and composed, and calmly stated his name.

Jing Hongchen didn't care about his attitude. After all, it's normal for a genius to have a bit of temper and arrogance.

He smiled and nodded, then gently patted Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen on the shoulder each, saying, "Yuhao, from now on, Xiao and Meng will be studying with you. Please take good care of them."

After saying that, he turned to his grandchildren and gave them a few more instructions.

It was nothing more than the usual platitudes about listening attentively to lectures and not causing trouble for Master Kong. Then he bowed to Kong Deming, turned around, and left the laboratory.

The metal door slowly closed behind Jing Hongchen. The laboratory fell silent, leaving only the four of them.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both looked at Huo Yuhao, but their expressions were completely different.

Xiao Hongchen slightly raised her chin, her exquisite eyes filled with undisguised resentment.

He considered himself a genius among geniuses, but just now, his grandfather actually asked this nobody, who was several years younger than him, to "take good care" of him right in front of him.

What he found even harder to accept was that Kong Deming, the Grand Soul Master he had always admired, had taken Huo Yuhao as his student first, while he could only stand there as an observer. Why?

Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, didn't have such complicated thoughts.

She simply observed the calm-faced boy in front of her with curiosity. He looked even younger than her, yet he was so highly regarded by her grandfather and could even be accepted as a disciple by Confucius.

His blue eyes remained completely still, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

Huo Yuhao took in both of their reactions. He was all too familiar with Xiao Hongchen's defiant attitude.

In his world, Xiao Hongchen is the same way.

From the moment he displayed his extraordinary talent for guiding souls, Xiao Hongchen was always defiant, challenging him repeatedly, only to be defeated time and again, yet he never gave up.

It wasn't until he became famous throughout the continent and trampled countless top experts under his feet that Xiao Hongchen finally extinguished his competitive spirit.

The person standing in front of him now was just a beginner-level Xiao Hongchen, and Huo Yuhao didn't take him seriously at all.

In another world, he was able to be beaten to a pulp even with such a low starting position, so it goes without saying that he's already at the peak right from the start.

Kong Deming did not give them time to compete.

He tapped lightly twice on the lab table, drawing the attention of all three. "Alright. Yuhao, come here, I'll continue the lesson. You two..."

He glanced at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, then pointed to the empty seat next to the lab table, "Just listen from the side."

Chapter 61 Dream of the Mortal World: Senior Brother Huo, could you teach me?

The three of them did as instructed and gathered around. Kong Deming cleared his throat, and without even flipping through any textbooks, directly posed the first question of the day:

"If you were to create a soul tool, its core array would consist of seven circuits, but these seven circuits would generate three distinct soul power fluctuation frequencies when in operation."

"Do you have any way to ensure that these three soul power frequencies do not interfere with each other within the same core magic array?"

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were both taken aback when they heard the question.

They originally thought that Kong Deming's classes would be taught like those of the teachers in the college.

Who would have thought that Kong Deming would throw out such a tricky question right away: seven circuits, three frequencies, and no interference between them?

This is considered a challenging problem even in the assessment of a level 5 Soul Master.

However, the two were exceptionally talented, and after a brief moment of surprise, they quickly calmed down and began to ponder with furrowed brows.

Xiao Hongchen bit her lower lip, her mind racing as she went through all the harmonic modulation arrays she had ever learned.

Should we use a current splitter array to separate the three frequencies first? No, a current splitter array can only separate two frequencies; the third will leak through the gap.

How about using a stepped frequency reduction? That won't work either, as stepped frequency reduction would reduce soul power output by at least 30%...

He quickly considered several options in his mind, but each one was slightly lacking, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

He couldn't help but glance at Huo Yuhao, secretly vowing revenge.

This problem is definitely not easy; even he had to rack his brains for a while to figure it out.

He was determined to find the answer before Huo Yuhao, so that his grandfather and Master Kong could see who the real genius was.

Before he could take his gaze away from Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao spoke.

“Use three sets of isolation circuits of different depths, in conjunction with a variable frequency guiding array.” His voice was calm and composed.

"The depth of the isolation circuit corresponds to the wavelength of the three soul power frequencies."

"The guiding array distributes the three soul power frequencies into their respective isolation circuits in sequence at the core entrance, and then the converging array at the exit re-integrates them."

"In this way, the three soul power frequencies do not come into contact with each other during transmission, and naturally they will not interfere with each other."

Xiao Hongchen's pupils contracted sharply, and the deduction in his mind came to an abrupt halt.

He understood every single word Huo Yuhao uttered, but when they were put together, they came out so quickly that he didn't even have time to process them.

But Huo Yuhao hadn't finished speaking.

He paused, then continued, "This is just a fairly conventional solution."

"If we take this a step further, could we conversely utilize the differences between these three soul power frequencies?"

"For example, adding a resonance node before the converging array allows the two soul forces to resonate under specific conditions, thereby significantly increasing the output power of the soul tool in a short period of time."

"However, doing this would increase the strength requirements of the metal many times over, and existing conventional metals probably wouldn't be able to withstand it."

Now it was Xiao Hongchen's turn to be completely stunned.

Before he could recover from the shock of the first answer, Huo Yuhao had already extended the question in a direction he had never even considered.

He turned sharply to look at Kong Deming, clinging to the last shred of hope.

Saying a lot doesn't mean saying the right thing. Maybe Huo Yuhao is just talking nonsense, and Master Kong would definitely shake his head.

However, Kong Deming did not shake his head.

A hint of approval appeared on that usually serious face. He nodded slightly, his tone unusually satisfied: "Not bad."

“Using isolation circuits to deal with interference from multiple soul forces is the current mainstream approach of Mingde Hall, so it’s not surprising that you thought of this.”

"But the idea of ​​resonance amplification is quite interesting. Although there is no suitable alloy to support this structure yet, the direction is correct."

"You can write it down and come back to verify it when there are breakthroughs in materials science in the future."
