At the foot of a mountain surrounded by forest.
Huo Yuhao looked left and right, feeling a bit puzzled.
“Teacher, didn’t you say you were going to take me to your laboratory building?
This…”
Huo Yuhao looked at the surrounding scene; where was there a laboratory building?
Let alone a building, it was all forest and trees, without a hint of technology.
If he hadn’t trusted that Elder Kong wouldn’t harm him, he would have seriously suspected he was being kidnapped.
Elder Kong smiled slightly, turned around, and gave Teacher Xuan Ziwen a kick, telling him to open the door.
As Teacher Xuan Ziwen pressed a spot on a mountain wall.
A two-meter-high door opened in front of Huo Yuhao.
From the outside, the door looked like stone, but the scene inside was filled with steel and metal Materials.
As the spirit tool elevator slowly descended.
A 20-story elevator came into view, with countless staff members recording experiments on every floor.
It gave Huo Yuhao the feeling of an underground research facility like the FBI.
The elevator stopped at the 20th floor.
The elevator doors opened slowly; there were no staff members on the 20th floor, only spirit tools.
The number of various spirit tools was even greater than what was recorded in the books of the Library, and the lowest Rank was a Rank 8 spirit tool.
On the way Elder Kong took Huo Yuhao to his research room.
“On the surface, Mingde Hall is the highest concentration of spirit tools in the Sun Moon Empire, but in reality, it isn’t.
The Hall of Worship is the highest.”
“Hall Master Mortal World is the only ninth-class Soul Engineer on the surface, but in fact, the Hall of Worship has more ninth-class Soul Engineers.
Every floor has a ninth-class Soul Engineer, and to assist in research in the Hall of Worship, one must be at least Rank 7.”
“Outside, a Rank 7 can already be a director or a leader.”
Huo Yuhao was extremely shocked; there were actually at least 20 more Soul Engineers like the glamorous Hall Master Mortal World.
“Yuhao, you should know that if you want to enter the Research Department of Mingde Hall, you must reach at least Rank 5 as a Soul Engineer.”
“And to enter the Hall of Worship, you need at least Rank 7.”
“But you are my disciple, so you have some privileges.
As long as you believe your theoretical knowledge and production capabilities are sufficient, you can apply for an assessment and skip Ranks directly, without needing to study honestly for a year before testing.”
Elder Kong handed Huo Yuhao a communication device.
“For any needs regarding metal, find your Senior Brother at any time.
If there’s any knowledge you don’t understand or anything regarding Spirit Masters, find me anytime.”
“Junior Brother, you’re welcome to come find me anytime to study spirit tools together!”
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded in agreement.
“Every week requires a knowledge and combat assessment.”
The ring contained 50 million gold coins.
Huo Yuhao was pleasantly surprised.
That night, Huo Yuhao lay in bed, feeling it was a bit unbelievable.
Everything that happened today was too magical.
He had directly become a disciple of the strongest person in the Empire, and he also had the Cultivation Technique he wanted and theoretical knowledge books for up to Rank 6.
This was like the Huo Yuhao in the original novel becoming a disciple of Mu En.
It’s just that Mu En’s life wasn’t long enough.
But in any case, compared to what Shrek gave, Elder Kong provided actual material support.
Shrek brainwashes you every day to cherish the ten-thousand-year Shrek Academy, but they don’t give you a single extra thing.
What?
You say Shrek trained him well during the ultimate training, and Mu En even gave the Dragon pill to the original novel’s Huo Yuhao?
Please, in the original novel, the ultimate training was because a war was coming; only then did they train seriously.
Did you see them training normally?
No.
As for the Dragon pill, sorry, although Elder Kong doesn’t have one, I’ve read the entire Douluo series.
In the Dragon Valley of Douluo Dalu 3, how many Dragon pills do you want?
There’s also a mountain of Spirit Bones.
But those things are for later.
Right now, the most important thing is to build a foundation and find a powerful backer.
Did the Huo Yuhao from the original novel have that when he went to Shrek?
He had nothing but a dog leash waiting for him.
After putting on the leash, he was constantly brainwashed, until finally, he didn’t even want to take revenge, only thinking about dating.
As for the mysterious water pills and other drugs for building a foundation in the early stages.
Huo Yuhao expressed that there were more than enough Foundation Establishment Medicinal Pills, similar to the mysterious water pill, in the Storage Ring—100 of them.
At that time, Elder Kong said: “Although there are Medicinal Pills to increase spirit power, you’d better not use them.
You can use more Foundation Establishment Medicinal Pills for building a foundation and fitness.
Here, take them.”
Huo Yuhao’s eyes widened when he saw 100 Medicinal Pills packed in a small box.
Using the words from a certain TV series: “I’ve never fought such a wealthy battle.”
There were also two weapons in the ring, one for close range and one for long range.
He also had two defensive spirit tools on him, one for active activation and one for passive protection.
What is a sense of security?
This is a full sense of security…
4 months later.
The last day of the first semester.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was in a clearing in the forest, facing a 1,200-year-old Blood Demon Raging Bear. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Not far away were Elder Kong and Teacher Xuan Ziwen.
“Teacher, during previous assessments, they were all Spirit Beasts around 500 years old.
Why make Yuhao face a 1,200-year-old one this time?”
Since becoming a disciple, Huo Yuhao usually attended classes in the academy teaching building during the day, went to Teacher Xuan Ziwen to learn about spirit tools after class, Cultivated the top-tier Meditation Method given by Elder Kong at night, and went to find various Spirit Beasts to practice actual combat skills on weekends.
“It’s fine.
Didn’t Yuhao easily win against Spirit Beasts around 500 years old before?
I believe he can do the same this time.”
“Teacher, are you kidding?
Is 500 years the same as 1,200 years?”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen looked at Elder Kong with a face full of black lines.
“Did Yuhao do something to make you Life Qi?”
“Yuhao, prepare for the assessment.”
Elder Kong ignored Teacher Xuan Ziwen and directly told Yuhao to get ready and start the assessment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit tool holding the Blood Demon Raging Bear was unlocked.
“Roar, roar!”
The Raging Bear’s roar made the ground and the forest tremble.
The Blood Demon Raging Bear’s size and muscles instantly swelled, giving Huo Yuhao an unprecedented sense of pressure.
Actually, facing a life-and-death battle with a Spirit Beast every week, Huo Yuhao had already adapted to such combat scenes.
But this time was different.
The Blood Demon Raging Bear was no ordinary bear; it was over 4 meters tall, with dark red fur standing upright like barbs.
While reading about Spirit Beast species in the Library before, he had learned about the Blood Demon Raging Bear.
It was a top-tier bear with berserk attributes and powerful combat strength.
Among various types of bears, it could Rank in the top 5, and some Blood Demon Raging Bears even possessed the ability to erupt in desperate situations.
Huo Yuhao looked at the Blood Demon Raging Bear in front of him, with its fangs exposed and eyes blood-red, and blood-colored patterns on its forehead; it was clearly a Blood Demon Raging Bear with the ability to erupt in desperate situations.
However, knowing is one thing, but Spirit Masters below Rank 20 would be unable to move under the pressure of the Blood Demon Raging Bear, as if they were locked in place.
Huo Yuhao was lucky to have just had a Breakthrough to Rank 20 recently, but his bad luck was that he was only at Rank 20.
The Blood Demon Raging Bear’s pressure was still effective on him, but because Huo Yuhao possessed a mental Body Martial Soul, his resistance to this pressure was much higher than ordinary people.
Otherwise, Huo Yuhao’s combat strength would have been reduced by at least half.
Since Elder Kong and Teacher Xuan Ziwen used spirit tools to conceal their presence, the Blood Demon Raging Bear’s attention instantly focused on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao quickly used an improved version of the First Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection Sharing.
The large-scale 3D perspective instantly narrowed down to a 5-meter range around the Blood Demon Raging Bear.
Perhaps sensing Huo Yuhao’s mental force, the Blood Demon Raging Bear began to attack.
“Roar~”
This roar clearly carried a mental shock; not only did the ground and forest tremble, but stones the size of 10cm directly burst apart.
“Not good, it’s the Blood Demon Raging Bear’s unique Spirit Ability: Furious Heaven-Shaking Roar!”
This was a high-intelligence Blood Demon Raging divine soul Spirit Beast.
