Chapter 145 Xuan Ziwen’s shock, a soul guide that changes the continent’s situation? Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Brother Xuan, why don’t you take me to your place first and let me show you? I promise that if you are not interested in my topic after you finish watching it, I definitely don’t want any secret laboratory anymore.” Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen was actually somewhat curious about Huo Yuhao. For a moment, he also wanted to see what topic Huo Yuhao valued so much. Soon, the two passed through the vast soul guide manufacturing area in front and came to the research and development area in the back. This area is different from the previous one. Different metal rooms divide this area. Each metal room has a different style, but compared to the soul guide production area in front, the privacy here is obviously better. Xuan Ziwen brought Huo Yuhao to a room and swiped his card on the door. The door opened automatically, which looked very technological and amazed Huo Yuhao. The soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is far more advanced than that of Douluo Dalu. As soon as he entered the room, Huo Yuhao saw all kinds of metals, core magic arrays, and waste materials piled up everywhere in the room. The whole room was very messy. Xuan Ziwen turned around and said, "Okay, this is my own laboratory. In order to ensure the privacy of each senior soul engineer's research, even the hall master cannot monitor our every move here. What on earth do you want to show me? Why are you so mysterious?" Huo Yuhao did not say anything, but handed him a small soul guide and said, “Brother Xuan, take a look at this soul guide first.”
Xuan Ziwen didn't care. He just glanced at the soul guide casually, but didn't want to be attracted to it immediately. He stared at the thing in his hand, and the look of astonishment on his face became more and more intense. After observing the thing for a few minutes, he asked in amazement, "Where did this thing come from?" Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Of course I did it myself." "You?" Xuan Ziwen had a questioning look on his face. "Looking at the way this core magic array is engraved, it looks more like the work of an ancient soul master. How could it be you who did it?" Huo Yuhao did not keep the secret and immediately repeated the story he had made up about how he obtained the memories of a ninth-level soul engineer from a thousand years ago, which led to a great improvement in the level of his soul guide. Compared to his acting in front of Jing Hongchen last time, Huo Yuhao was now basically familiar with this set of words, which made Xuan Ziwen stunned. "This is also possible? What luck you have, kid? Do you know how long it took me to become a fifth-level soul engineer? But you have become a fifth-level soul engineer in less than a year?" Xuan Ziwen said in astonishment. Huo Yuhao’s soul guide improved so quickly that he didn’t even know what to say. "Is this the soul guide topic you mentioned? The combination of ancient soul guide technology and new soul guide technology? Your soul guide is indeed very special, but people have been conducting research in this area for a long time, and many ancient soul guide technologies have been eliminated and are not suitable for this era." Xuan Ziwen said with a frown. It's not like other people have walked this path before, but soul guide technology has always been moving forward. In his opinion, this path is completely putting the cart before the horse. It is better to develop newer technology than to combine previous technologies. Hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously and took out a scroll he had prepared long ago from his storage soul guide. "Brother Xuan, don't be impatient. It won't be too late to talk to me after I have demonstrated the function of this soul guide." After saying that, he suddenly spread out the scroll in his hand, only to see that the scroll was covered with a circle of strange lines, which looked extremely bizarre. Xuan Ziwen was stunned. After a quick look at the patterns in the scroll, he felt that they were very similar to the core array of the soul guide, but also slightly different. Of course, he couldn't tell what kind of formation it was, because it was exactly what Huo Yuhao had prepared long ago, and the pattern drawn on it was the sorcerer's "Eight Trigrams Seal". Then, an ice ball condensed in Huo Yuhao’s hand in the next second. When he slowly brought the ice ball closer to the formation pattern on the scroll, a magical scene appeared. I saw that the array pattern slowly swallowed the ice ball, and the ice ball disappeared into the scroll. Xuan Ziwen's eyes were shocked, and he looked at the scene in disbelief.
After a while, he finally reacted and asked in surprise: "What kind of method is this?" Huo Yuhao had already thought of an excuse, and he said calmly, “This is a self-created array pattern that I found in the memory of a ninth-level soul guide from a thousand years ago. Its only function is to seal soul skills, but unfortunately, he died before he had the chance to transform this array pattern into the core array of a soul guide.” Huo Yuhao has gotten used to it. He just puts the blame on Moro. "According to my experiments, this array pattern can even seal soul skills. Once it is transformed into the core array of a soul guide, the soul guide can even seal the soul master's soul skills on the battlefield and then counterattack!" "Brother Xuan, the topic I'm talking about is to transform this array pattern into the core array of a soul guide. I wonder if you are interested?" Huo Yuhao raised a slight curve at the corner of his mouth and said something meaningful. Xuan Ziwen was stunned at first, and then an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face, and his whole body even began to tremble. He grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders and said excitedly: "Yuhao, your topic... is valuable enough to change the world!" "The research and development of each core array is a major event that can shake the entire soul guide world. Once this new soul guide core array is completed, it will definitely be famous for thousands of years." Xuan Ziwen was very clear about the value of this formation. Just imagine, if he could seal the soul skills of a soul master in it in the future and then release them, it would completely overturn the entire soul master world! From this point of view alone, once this "sealed soul guide" really appears in the world, I am afraid that the soul master world will usher in a major earthquake and produce great changes. Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Brother Xuan, I know very well that the workload involved in transforming this array pattern into the core array of a soul guide is too huge. I can never complete it with my own abilities." "Actually, this is only part of my idea. What I really want to do with this sealing array is to create an artificial spirit ring!" "Artificial soul ring?" Xuan Ziwen was stunned. "Yes, the number of soul masters is increasing, while the number of soul beasts is decreasing year by year. Now we humans have developed a powerful weapon called the ninth-level soul guide shell. If we really kill soul beasts on a large scale, will soul beasts really be our opponents? Once soul beasts are extinct, can soul masters really survive on their own? And if soul masters are gone, who will drive the soul guides?" "If this sealed soul guide can really succeed, why can't we use it to store the soul rings produced after the death of soul beasts? On the one hand, it can avoid the waste of soul rings after the death of soul beasts. On the other hand, we can also use these stored soul rings to study the energy essence of soul rings. One day, we may really be able to research artificial soul rings!" Huo Yuhao said seriously. Xuan Ziwen froze in place for a moment, constantly thinking about what Huo Yuhao had said. Yes, tens of millions of years later, if soul beasts become extinct, can soul masters really remain unscathed? And if the soul master also disappeared, then wouldn't soul guides and other things that are built on soul power also disappear completely? Artificial soul rings may seem like a fantasy, but now with the sealing soul guide array provided by Huo Yuhao, it does not seem so far-fetched. If artificial spirit rings could really be developed by him, then the history of the entire Douluo Continent would probably have left a significant chapter in it. Although this sounds far away, Xuan Ziwen understands that this soul guide may really change the entire continent in the future! Xuan Ziwen was silent for a long time, then looked at Huo Yuhao with some entanglement: "Yuhao, why did you tell me such an important matter? You can tell the hall master about it. With the hall master's strength and appeal, he might be able to help you complete this task in a shorter time." Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “Brother Xuan, to be honest, I trust you the most in this academy, and I also believe that your abilities are no worse than anyone else’s.” "Besides, let me put it bluntly. If I hand this array pattern over to the hall master, its nature will change. One day in the future, if this sealing soul guide is really successfully developed, how much benefit it will generate, I'm afraid you, Brother Xuan, will not be unable to imagine it. So we must master this technology in our own hands!" "One day in the future, I don't want this soul guide to become a tool of the Sun-Moon Empire. Once such a thing happens, I'm afraid the entire continent will be devastated. So I plan to establish my own organization in the future. Brother Xuan, are you willing to join?" Xuan Ziwen felt a little touched and a little shocked, and looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated look. He was moved by Huo Yuhao's trust in him and shocked by Huo Yuhao's ideas. He also understood the value of Huo Yuhao's project after its success. He was just a researcher before and had no intention of joining any force. Although Huo Yuhao seemed to be just speaking casually now, Xuan Ziwen had a vague feeling that the force Huo Yuhao was talking about might become a towering tree on the entire continent in the future. Xuan Ziwen thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said viciously: "You are really good at giving me problems. Do you know that I have a lot of problems? Now you are dragging me into your pirate ship." Huo Yuhao smiled immediately when he heard this. He knew very well that Xuan Ziwen's words meant that he agreed to join. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic. To be honest, although Huo Yuhao had always had the idea of developing a sealing soul guide, with his current level of soul guide, if he really relied on himself, while also having to take care of his own cultivation, he might not be able to complete it even if he was given another ten years.
But with the addition of Xuan Ziwen, this is not necessarily the case. Although Xuan Ziwen's soul guide level is only level eight, if it were not for the limitation of his soul power, he would have been promoted to level nine soul guide long ago. After he joined, Huo Yuhao finally gained the confidence to develop the subsequent artificial spirit ring. Xuan Zi snatched the formation diagram from Huo Yuhao's hand and began to study it attentively, unable to put it down. His eyes were full of joy and cherishment, as if he had seen a peerless beauty. Then, he stretched out his hand towards Huo Yuhao, as if asking for something. Huo Yuhao was stunned and asked, "Brother Xuan, what are you doing?" "What? Nonsense, doesn't it cost money to develop soul guides? You are the initiator of this project. If you don't give me gold soul coins, do I have to rely on myself to subsidize it?" Xuan Ziwen said unhappily. "Let me tell you, if you don't invest hundreds of millions of gold soul coins in the development of a new soul guide, you won't even have a chance to see a glimpse of it!" Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and said, “Hundreds of millions of gold soul coins? Where can I get so much money?” Xuan Ziwen rolled his eyes: "Then I don't care. You want to create a power, don't you? No money? Go find someone else if you don't have money. Who doesn't need money to start a business? You want to get something for nothing, right? I'm just a technician. I'm only responsible for helping you develop soul guides in the future." Seeing this, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to hand over a soul guide ring, which was the one Xu Tianran had given him, and said, “Here are several hundred kilograms of rare minerals, Brother Xuan, why don’t you use them first.” Huo Yuhao felt a little painful. It was really not easy to start a business these days. Tens of millions of gold soul coins would be thrown down at any time. If I hadn't gotten these ores from Xu Tianran, I might not have been able to proceed with the first step. Xuan Ziwen took the ring and nodded, saying, "That's good enough. I will devote all my efforts to developing this sealed soul guide in the future. It will take at least one year, or at most three years, and there will definitely be results." There was a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. "Then can I do research with you here, Brother Xuan?" Huo Yuhao asked. Xuan Ziwen glanced at him, then threw a manual to him and said, "Based on your current level, if you want to get Mei and help me, you need to be at least a level 6 soul engineer. Today is your first day here, so go to the soul guide production area outside and learn honestly. When you have the level of a level 6 soul engineer, you will be qualified to participate in this." Huo Yuhao was driven out of Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, and Xuan Ziwen seemed to be possessed, looking at the "Eight Trigrams Seal" pattern drawn by Huo Yuhao with fascination. Huo Yuhao could understand Xuan Ziwen very well. What a soul engineer wants throughout his life is to create a soul guide that can change the landscape of the entire continent so that he can go down in history. Now that Xuan Ziwen has got such an opportunity, he threw himself into it wholeheartedly almost instantly. As for Huo Yuhao himself, he finally entered Mingde Hall. He could only follow the instructions in the manual given to him by Xuan Ziwen and come to his own experimental table. Huo Yuhao spent the entire day in Mingde Hall. Through observation, he found that almost all the soul guides in Mingde Hall were in a state of full concentration. Many of them even skipped lunch or dinner, focusing only on their own research. Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere and began to devote himself to the study of soul guides. By the time he walked out of Mingde Hall exhausted, it was already completely dark outside. (End of this chapter)
