"I'll go."
Located on the edge of Mingde Hall, far from the explosion's epicenter, Huo Yuhao, hiding under the experimental table, cautiously extended his mental probe to witness the explosion. However, his mental probe was momentarily stunned by the powerful impact of the explosion.
When the initial shock of the explosion subsided, Huo Yuhao went to investigate again and found that the core area of the explosion, which was also the core area of Mingde Hall, was a complete mess, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"This power..."
Huo Yuhao didn't know what weapons from his previous life to compare them to, since he rarely saw nuclear bombs or thermobaric bombs in videos. But Huo Yuhao was certain that compared to this explosion, the artillery fire in the Soul Master Competition was child's play, and the chain of corpse explosions created by the Hand of Death in the mountain cave was not even one-tenth as powerful as this explosion.
After all, the explosion was intended to launch a surprise attack on Mingde Hall. Who are the people in the core area of Mingde Hall? Level 7 people can roam around freely, and every experimental table they run into is occupied by a Level 8 Soul Master.
Following the explosion, the Body Sect launched its invasion. As the explosion subsided, figures suddenly emerged from the ground. The group, all dressed in black, moved with extreme agility and immediately began to attack those around them.
A burly man in black extended his right arm, which instantly grew ten times larger, blasting a level five Soul Master who was about to launch a Soul Guidance Device into a rain of blood. This finally allowed Huo Yuhao to match the information in the original work and confirm that the attacker was from the Body Sect.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've ever seen the Body Sect after all this time I've been transmigrated."
The previous Soul Master Competition was a good opportunity to contact the Body Sect, but because Huo Yuhao had been hiding, and his only attack was still under the cover of ice mist, the Body Sect did not discover Huo Yuhao. Although they did discover him, they felt that Huo Yuhao did not have enough talent, and with the sake of Shrek Academy, they did not come to snatch him.
After the explosion ended, Huo Yuhao naturally could no longer stay there. However, at the same time as the explosion, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to use the impact to overturn the experimental table. At this moment, it was impossible to push the experimental table away and go out, otherwise he might be attacked by the Body Sect. So, just like in the original story, he had to dig the ground.
Moreover, digging can be done directly following the original path, which makes it much easier.
However, without fusing with the Dark Gold Terror Claw, and with Ice Emperor having run away from home, Huo Yuhao currently lacks any Soul Master techniques for digging.
Who would have thought that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, which was initially indifferent, would grow into a being with power approaching that of a 100,000-year-old soul bone after being out of control for a long time?
However, Huo Yuhao is no longer confident in suppressing the Dark Gold Terror Claw. In the original story, even the Dark Gold Terror Claw, which was only at the thousand-year level, required the combined use of the Ice Emperor's Claw and the Life Gold to suppress it.
Right now, Huo Yuhao absolutely wouldn't dare absorb the Dark Gold Terror Claw unless he reaches the Soul Saint level.
"Sigh, let's dig slowly."
With a sigh, Huo Yuhao took out a drill and started drilling a hole in the floor in place of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw that should have been there.
Outside, Jing Hongchen, having regained his senses, was already fighting with Du Busi. Although Huo Yuhao was also somewhat interested in the battles between top experts, it was more important to grab some benefits first.
After all, Jing Hongchen was so weak that he couldn't even force out the second awakening of the Poison-Undying Martial Soul (it seems that the second awakening of a Gold-level Martial Soul requires burning life force?).
Amidst the roar of the battle's aftershocks, Huo Yuhao successfully entered the tunnel dug by the Body Sect.
"Let me think... Since Xue Di isn't here, the first thing at the front of Mingde Hall should be that unfinished humanoid soul tool, right?"
Upon entering the underground passage, Huo Yuhao immediately entered simulation mode, recalling the details of the attack.
"The underground cave seems to have been dug by an eighth-ring expert from the Body Sect. If I run into them, without the help of the Ice and Snow Emperors, I'll most likely be done for. Although I don't know the Body Sect's purpose, avoiding non-soul tool areas should be enough, since the Body Sect has never been interested in soul tools."
Looking at the pitch-black passage, Huo Yuhao was momentarily at a loss: "Which way did the original story say to go deeper? It should be towards the core area of Mingde Hall, right?"
Before he could think much about it, Huo Yuhao felt the earth shake violently. He could only trust his luck as the chosen one and randomly chose a direction to rush towards.
With a "whoosh," Huo Yuhao flashed out from the end of the tunnel and appeared in a passageway.
The soul-guiding lights on both sides of the passage were flashing continuously, indicating the instability of its structure.
This should be the interior of Mingde Hall. I wonder where that Soul Douluo from the Body Sect has gone. I hope I don't run into him.
While praying, Huo Yuhao quickly used his mental detection to scan the surrounding area and soon determined his destination.
He then slipped into a passage on the left, and rushed straight into a dark metal door that was silently open. Inside, it was quite spacious and was a laboratory.
The laboratory was enormous, with a circular shape that was over a hundred meters in diameter and thirty meters high. Even though he already knew what he was about to see, Huo Yuhao was immediately drawn to the colossal object before him.
This is a huge humanoid metal body, standing fifteen meters tall. Its massive body is entirely cast from metal. Although it looks somewhat rudimentary, the overall structure is complete. The chest area is open, and there seems to be a chair or something similar inside.
"Mecha, huh... that's really a 'sci-fi' concept."
He muttered something under his breath, but Huo Yuhao didn't stop moving. Without taking a closer look, he rushed straight for the starlight sapphire in front of the platform.
It was a piece larger than a palm, like a protective mirror, surrounded by silver-white decorations, with the shape of the core magic array beautifully engraved, but at the very center was a huge gem shaped like a convex lens.
A level nine storage ring crafted with a star sapphire as its core was prepared for a humanoid soul tool.
Huo Yuhao held the huge, inlaid starlight sapphire and lifted it up along with the surrounding metal array. He activated the Mysterious Heaven Technique, carefully channeling his soul power into it.
A siphon-like sensation instantly emanated from the enormous starlight sapphire in his hand. Huo Yuhao felt his soul power rapidly draining away; in just a moment, nearly a third of his soul power was absorbed.
Just then, a blue light seemed to appear on the top of the huge metal man's head, shining brightly in conjunction with the dazzling light shimmering on the star sapphire.
A beam of blue light shot out from the dazzling surface of the star sapphire, radiating outwards in mid-air. A corresponding beam of light also emanated from the forehead of the massive metal figure. The two beams collided in mid-air, instantly illuminating the entire enormous laboratory with their brilliant blue hue.
