After returning to his room, Kong Bo immediately turned on the recording pen and began listening to what Huo Yuhao had said.
“I actually transmigrated into Huo Yuhao?
Wow, this is truly wonderful.
Whatever Huo Yuhao could do, I can do too.
I didn’t expect to start with Innate full spirit power, hahahaha.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Electrolux, just wait for me!”
“In the future, I’ll be Third Brother’s son-in-law.
Tang Wutong should be very beautiful.”
“Compared to ten thousand years ago, now that Third Brother controls Douluo Star, my future is bound to be bright.
Spirit Hall is gone, but there’s the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, and there’s also a Destruction God King in the God Realm.”
Kong Bo listened to all of this and then cried out that things were bad.
From these recordings, he could determine that Huo Yuhao was a fan of God King Tang who had soul-transmigrated into Huo Yuhao’s body.
Moreover, this Huo Yuhao was a Spirit Master starting with Innate full spirit power and now had the protection of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
With these judgments, Kong Bo had already marked this Huo Yuhao as an enemy.
He was determined to intercept these Opportunities.
He now wished he could reach the Star Dou Great Forest in a single step to take away both the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.
Then Kong Bo discovered a problem: no matter how one looked at it, the Star Luo Empire was closer to the Star Dou Great Forest than the Sun Moon Empire.
Furthermore, with the help of the Star Luo Imperial Family, Huo Yuhao would definitely go to the Star Dou Great Forest at the first Opportunity to find the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.
“Hmm, so what should I do?” Kong Bo thought to himself.
If all the various opportunities of the Douluo Continent benefited Huo Yuhao—especially a Huo Yuhao soul-transmigrated by a fan of God King Tang—well, Kong Bo couldn’t guarantee he’d be able to win if another ‘Huo Yuhao’ appeared.
“The various opportunities of the Douluo Continent, aside from Shrek Academy…
hmm?
It seems they are most concentrated where the Spirit Beasts are.
How can I go find the Spirit Beasts?”
“Think of a way, think of a way…” As Kong Bo thought of this, he inadvertently looked out the window.
The Kong Residence was very close to the Imperial Palace.
He saw people working inside the palace; it looked like they were installing a lightning rod on the landmark building, the ‘Sun Moon Tower.’
“I’ve got it!” A flash of inspiration struck Kong Bo’s mind as he saw the lightning rod.
“The first few spirit rings of a Spirit Master must be chosen carefully, otherwise the initial rings will be wasted.
Whether I want to expand my resources or recruit some outside help, I have to deal with the Spirit Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
What are Spirit Beasts afraid of?
Naturally, they fear the Lightning Tribulation.
Hmm…
if a lightning rod can block lightning, can other lightning protection measures block the Lightning Tribulation?”
Thinking of this, Kong Bo became somewhat excited.
“If it really can block the Lightning Tribulation, it would be equivalent to saving the lives of those few Vicious Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest!
Hmm…
I can take as much as I want from the treasures held by those wealthy beasts.
Moreover, these experts would have to listen to me.
If I want to conduct experiments in the future, I can have them help me, or at least search for Materials or even bring things to me.”
With this in mind, Crown Prince Xu Tianran went to find Kong Deming once again.
Kong Deming placed great importance on his great-grandson, Kong Bo.
Seeing Kong Bo arrive, he looked up from his blueprints.
“Bo’er, Great-Grandfather has decided to personally take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring.”
“Thank you, Great-Grandfather.” Kong Bo bowed.
“I have a request.
I would like Great-Grandfather to help me manufacture a few items; they are not spirit tools.”
“Oh?
Bo’er, whatever you want to make, Great-Grandfather will go to the Offering Hall to help you do it.” Last time, Kong Bo’s clever suggestion of the lightning rod had earned Kong Deming a lot of money.
Currently, the Sun Moon Empire’s productivity was more advanced than the three Douluo nations, so buildings could be built higher, which meant a greater probability of lightning strikes during the rainy season.
Now that Kong Deming had released the blueprints for the lightning rod, many people were buying them from the Offering Hall, and the Kong Family had reaped a bountiful harvest.
Now that Kong Bo wanted Kong Deming to make something else, Kong Deming was naturally happy to help.
“Great-Grandfather, I wish to make a type of cage.
Its function is to shield against lightning, but it isn’t a spirit tool.
Smelting it might be somewhat difficult, so I ask for your help.” Kong Bo then explained the appearance of a faraday cage to Kong Deming and what needed to be noted during its manufacture.
“Alright, Bo’er, Great-Grandfather will help you.
Once the smelting is finished, I will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest,” Kong Deming said.
“Bo’er, you are a good child; you wouldn’t have Great-Grandfather make such a thing for no reason.
This cage…
it’s not like you can play with it.
Why make it?
Can you tell Great-Grandfather on the way?”
“Of course,” Kong Bo said.
Kong Deming then manufactured three faraday cages and put them into his storage spirit tool.
Next, Kong Deming took out a silver-white sphere from his storage spirit tool and infused it with spirit power.
The silver-white sphere gradually unfolded, forming a vehicle with an appearance similar to the flying wing layout of a stealth fighter from Earth.
“Bo’er, come up,” Kong Deming said.
“This is a work I created when I was testing for Class Nine Soul Engineer, named the sky patrol shuttle.
It is a type of flying spirit tool that can not only fly at high speeds in the sky but is also not easily detected by other Spirit Masters.
To get to the Star Dou Great Forest, we must pass through the territory of the Star Luo Empire.
The Star Luo Empire is very likely to target a Genius Spirit Master like you.
It’s best if our movements are not known to the people of the Star Luo Empire.”
“Great-Grandfather, I understand.” Kong Bo followed behind Kong Deming and boarded the sky patrol shuttle.
Then, Kong Deming activated the shuttle, and the two of them flew north.
“Bo’er, can you tell Great-Grandfather now why you wanted to make this cage?” Kong Deming asked.
“Great-Grandfather, after I came up with the lightning rod, I was thinking.
This matter of lightning protection in our Sun Moon Empire is just so tall buildings don’t get struck.
Who do you think on this Douluo Continent fears lightning strikes the most?”
“Naturally, it is the Spirit Beasts; Great-Grandfather has taught you that,” Kong Deming said.
“Bo’er, your idea is excellent!
If this cage really can avoid lightning, it would be equivalent to saving the lives of those powerful Spirit Beasts!”
It was said that Tang San’s acquisition of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a sort of ‘wealth code.’ Ten thousand years later, Kong Bo intended to invent his own wealth code.
Compared to transforming into a Soul Spirit and being restricted by others, these Vicious Beasts would certainly be willing to live more freely by holding onto something that could avoid lightning.
