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

Fortunately, the backlash from this force was not directed at her, so he was not seriously injured.

The owner of the clinic who treated him, however, was in a far worse situation.

The moment the backlash flowed back into her body along with the healing light, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her body stiffened and she fell backward, screaming incessantly.

Crimson blood gushed from all seven of her orifices, her eyes were bloodshot, and her brain felt as if it were being constantly churned by an iron rod.

The extreme pain made her screams uncontrollably; she could only convulse on the ground in an attempt to alleviate the agony.

This was merely a passive backlash from a trace of divine power, without any intention of attacking.

If Huo Yuhao were to personally activate that restriction, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chapter 100 Returning to Mingdu, Upgrading the Soul Tool

After a long while, the curator's painful wails finally subsided.

By this time, the calmness on her face had completely vanished, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"Monster, you monster!"

She stared intently at Ye Guyi with an almost insane look, constantly letting out low growls.

Then he shouted hoarsely, "Get out of here right now! This place can't solve your problems!"

In her view, the person who could plant such a restriction must be one of the top beings on the continent.

She, a mere Soul Douluo, had no way of contending with such a powerful expert.

She was filled with regret, wondering why she hadn't asked Ye Guyi who she had offended.

If she had known this would be the outcome, she would never have treated Ye Guyi under any circumstances.

Ye Guyi staggered to her feet amidst the innkeeper's shouts of shooing her away.

A bitter smile forced across his pale face: "Is there really no chance left?"

A healing-type Soul Master at the Contra level is already the most top-tier healing Soul Master Ye Guyi can come into contact with.

A healing-type Soul Master at the Title Douluo level cannot be moved by money alone.

Moreover, sensing the terrifying aura of that power, Ye Guyi felt that even a Title Douluo-level healing soul master might not be able to solve her problem.

Dragging her heavy steps, Ye Guyi slowly walked out of the clinic.

The sunlight shone on her face, and the sounds of vendors and pedestrians filled the air. Everything seemed unchanged, still so peaceful and serene.

But Ye Guyi felt as if she were the only person left in the world.

Leaning against the cold stone wall outside the clinic, Ye Guyi felt a deep sadness as she reflected on the events that had transpired during this time.

"Am I really destined to be that person's servant?" she murmured, her voice filled with helplessness.

After a long while, Ye Guyi slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Perhaps that really is the only way..."

She remembered what Nana had said to her that night.

"If you've figured it out, come find me at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

At that time, she was filled with resentment and did not want to become someone else's servant, but now she didn't know what to do.

Ye Guyi bit her lip, a final struggle flashing in her eyes, and finally took a step, slowly walking towards the direction of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

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

In Mingde Hall, in Kong Deming's laboratory.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were diligently crafting soul tools at opposite ends of the Soul Island table.

As a high-ranking official in the royal court, Kong Deming often had to handle various affairs. Today, he was summoned to the palace and, as he said, he wouldn't be back for the rest of the day.

Without the teacher's supervision, other students might have already relaxed, but they did not slack off at all.

Their talent in soul tools is among the best in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

It's just that they paled in comparison to Huo Yuhao's almost monstrous brilliance.

After studying under Kong Deming, the top soul master on the continent, for more than half a year, the two of them made rapid progress.

They had only barely reached the threshold of a level 5 Soul Master before, but now they have completely mastered the basics and are steadily moving towards becoming experts.

Meng Hongchen placed the newly completed soul tool in her hand on the table, and then slumped into a chair.

She rested her chin on her hands, her wine-red eyes staring unfocused at the closed laboratory door.

After a long while, she suddenly sighed, her tone filled with undisguised worry: "It's been more than a month and a half, why hasn't Senior Brother Huo returned yet?"

"Could he have gotten into trouble while hunting for spirit rings?"

Ever since Huo Yuhao left the academy for the far north, she has been thinking about him constantly and checking on him almost every day.

At first, she was full of expectations, thinking that Huo Yuhao would return soon, but as time went by, her expectations turned into worries.

It has been almost two months now, and my worries are growing heavier and heavier.

She even started to have wild thoughts, wondering if she was overthinking things, which was why Huo Yuhao hadn't come back yet.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen, who had just finished putting away his soul tool, rolled his eyes without any politeness.

He put the carving knife on the table, turned around and said irritably, "What could possibly happen to that kid? Knowing his personality, he would never put himself in danger."

Instead of worrying about this, you should carve a couple more sets of formations so you won't get scolded when the teacher checks them later.

As soon as Xiao Hongchen finished speaking, a calm voice suddenly came from the doorway: "What you said is quite right, but it's best not to call me 'kid'."

Xiao Hongchen was startled by the sudden sound and nearly knocked the carving knife in his hand away.

Meng Hongchen, who was standing next to him, suddenly turned her head to look at the door.

When she saw the black-clad boy standing outside the door, a look of surprise flashed in her wine-red eyes.

She ran quickly to Huo Yuhao's side and grabbed his hand.

"Senior Brother Huo, you're finally back!" Meng Hongchen exclaimed excitedly, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy and relief.

She looked up at Huo Yuhao, her wine-red eyes filled with a bright smile. Two months of longing and worry vanished in that instant.

Huo Yuhao stood at the door, still dressed in black. His face was even more handsome than it had been two months ago, and his aura was more profound and reserved.

Unusually, he didn't respond with his usual coldness. Instead, he nodded slightly to Meng Hongchen, a faint smile even appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Entering the laboratory, Huo Yuhao looked around but didn't see Kong Deming, so he casually asked, "Where did Grandmaster go?"

Meng Hongchen quickly explained, "Teacher was summoned to the palace early this morning. It seems His Majesty has some important matters to discuss with him. He probably won't be coming all day."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly upon hearing this, and without asking any further questions, walked straight to his experimental table at the back.

Then, he took out several pieces of rare metal from his storage soul tool and laid them out skillfully and neatly.

After acquiring the Snow Empress Martial Soul and other Soul Rings, his Soul Power skyrocketed from just over level 20 to level 37.

More importantly, the progress of soul repair has significantly improved during these two months of fusion and tempering.

The level of soul tools he can now create has increased by another step compared to two months ago.

This trip to the far north yielded far more than just a second martial soul and a soul ring.

Now, he can upgrade his natal soul tool, the Source of Chaos.

Chapter 101: Multiplied Effect

As the most senior and highest-ranking level nine soul master in Mingde Hall, Kong Demin naturally enjoys the most advanced soul guidance research resources.

On his lab table were various rare metals, more than enough for Huo Yuhao to upgrade his source of chaos.

Huo Yuhao quickly picked out the materials he needed from the soul guidance experiment table.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took the source of chaos hanging from his waist.

The tower of the source of chaos still gleamed with a dark silver luster, its three layers tightly fitted together, and the jet-black gem at its tip shimmered slightly under the light.

Looking at it, Huo Yuhao felt a little emotional.

Because this soul tool was not actually used much after it was made, mainly because there were no occasions where it needed to be used in combat.

Most of the time, he had already ended the battle before even using this soul tool.

With his strength greatly improved, it's time for these soul tools to be iterated and updated.

The increase in mental power overclocking, the conversion efficiency of mental power siphon, and the radiation range of mental pollution release all have great potential for improvement.

Huo Yuhao picked up the carving knife and gently touched several places on the side of the tower with the tip of the knife. The source of chaos immediately disintegrated, revealing the core formation inside.

Xiao Hongchen, who had been watching from the sidelines, was also shocked when he saw the intricate core formation.

"Did he make this himself?" Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but wonder.

Next, Huo Yuhao raised the carving knife in his hand and began to carve arrays on the surface of the metal, and quickly disassembled several parts that needed to be replaced.

Then install the parts you just made back on.

Xiao Hongchen also shifted his gaze from the core formation and focused intently on Huo Yuhao's creation process.

He considered himself to be a top talent in creating soul tools, but compared to Huo Yuhao, he seemed to be completely outmatched.

Huo Yuhao's current precision in depicting formations has far exceeded his imagination.

Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but his throat was dry and he couldn't say anything.

Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, rested her chin on her hands, her wine-red eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao's profile.

In her eyes, Huo Yuhao seemed to glow when he was focused, and every movement he made was fluid and beautiful.

She didn't care about the intricate formations; she simply looked at the face that captivated her, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Meng Hongchen thought to herself smugly, "As expected of the person she likes."

Soon, half an hour had passed.

Huo Yuhao replaced the last part and then reassembled the chaotic resources.

A brand new source of chaos lay quietly in his palm.
