Chapter 193 A Shocking Self-Destruction
When Kong Deming brought Huo Yuhao to the Hall of Worship, all the worshippers were shocked by Huo Yuhao's presence.
A powerful martial soul, outstanding soul master talent, a miraculous ice and fire creation furnace, and an unparalleled soul master's strategic thinking.
Their gazes toward Huo Yuhao were exceptionally fervent, even more so than when they themselves had successfully created their first soul tool.
Kong Deming took out dozens of bottles of pills to enhance strength and gave them to Huo Yuhao.
"You can only consume these pills after they have been refined a second time using the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace."
Kong Deming instructed, "These pills belong to you personally; there is no need to share them with others."
"You should focus on improving your skills."
Huo Yuhao glanced at the pills in his storage bracelet and bowed deeply.
He had already decided that once he returned, he would use the Transformation Qi Refining Furnace to analyze the herbal ingredients and then refine the most perfect version for the Heavenly Soul Empire's army.
Once the prescription is figured out and the Qi Refining Furnace becomes widespread, the refining of pills will be the responsibility of the Heavenly Soul Empire itself.
The Heavenly Soul Empire has treated Huo Yuhao well.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao wanted to leave as much as possible for the Heavenly Soul Empire while he was still on Douluo Star.
Then, in front of the assembled retainers, Huo Yuhao demonstrated the extraordinary capabilities of the Transformation Qi Refining Furnace in purifying metals and refining elixirs.
Everyone held their breath, afraid of missing any detail.
"This martial spirit is practically born with the rudiments of a domain!" a white-haired elder exclaimed in surprise.
"And the speed at which he purifies metals is simply incredible."
Another short-statured elder muttered, "This is almost as advanced as the Empire's latest purified soul tool."
"To match his purification quality at the same stage, it would probably take the people from Haotianbao."
"And this is only comparable, far from surpassing."
"A monster has appeared in that small place, Orleans."
In just over ten minutes, the lid of the Transformation Furnace was opened under Huo Yuhao's urging.
A clump of flowing silver liquid floated out and naturally condensed in the air into a perfect regular octahedron.
"98.86% purity?!"
The elder in charge of the testing trembled in his voice: "Throughout the entire Sun Moon Empire, apart from a ninth-level Soul Master personally refining the metal, no other person or Soul Tool has been able to break Lin Yi's record!"
As Huo Yuhao began refining the soul tool, all the worshippers were awestruck.
This is an unprecedented refining method.
In the past, the production of soul tools required the soul master to first carve the core magic array, and then make the mechanical shell—the order of these two steps could be confused—and finally assemble and debug them.
However, Lin Yi's Ice and Fire Creation Furnace integrates all processes into one, except for the core magic array which still needs to be carved on the outside.
The blazing flames intertwined with the icy flowing water.
Huo Yuhao's hands were constantly forming hand seals, and his soul power and spiritual power were like threads, precisely controlling every change inside the furnace.
The worshippers could sense that there was an invisible hand in the furnace, completing every step of the soul tool's creation at an illogical speed.
"This is simply art!" The white-haired elder exclaimed, his beard trembling with excitement. "His efficiency is incredible!"
"His soul guidance talent is the most outstanding I've ever seen!"
"Master Kong, please forgive my bluntness, but I truly believe that Lin Yi can go even further than you!"
"The sun and moon rise in the furnace, illuminating all the stars; he, he, he—he is the lucky star of our Sun and Moon Empire!"
As the Qi Refining Furnace was opened, everyone rushed forward, ignoring the violent shockwaves.
This was the first time Lin Yi had ever forged a soul tool in front of them, and everyone wanted to know his capabilities.
A red and blue cannon barrel floated out of the furnace mouth, its surface shimmering with a star-like luster.
Kong Deming caught the cannon barrel steadily with both hands.
The moment he injected his soul power, eighteen intersecting red and blue patterns suddenly lit up on the cannon.
They slithered across the metal surface like living creatures, eventually converging at the muzzle and releasing a terrifying aura.
"Level 3 Soul Guidance Ordinary Soul Guidance Cannon".
Kong Deming blasted at the experimental target, which immediately exploded with dense ice and fire light: "But its power reached the level of a level 5 soul-guided cannon."
"Moreover, there are no traces of splicing on the surface of the cannon. The core magic array and the metal shell are perfectly integrated, as if they were created by heaven and earth as a soul-guided cannon."
"Its energy transfer efficiency is 9.8% higher than mine!"
As soon as Kong Deming finished speaking, the entire ancestral hall fell into a deathly silence.
The worshippers stared intently at the soul-guided cannon, which was still radiating warmth, as if they were witnessing a divine technique.
When Jing Hongchen arrived and took Huo Yuhao to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the elders immediately formed a circle, wanting to study this level-three soul tool that they would normally look down upon.
Although Huo Yuhao was given the status of a researcher at Mingde Hall and even a retainer at the Hall of Worship by Kong Deming, he still needed to continuously learn the basic knowledge of soul tool theory.
He needs to learn more to fully unleash his potential.
Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn't attend classes like the other students.
Kong Deming has already instructed Xuan Ziwen to give Huo Yuhao a private lesson.
"Lin Yi changed the way soul tools are made."
Kong Deming quickly said, "He completely omitted the tedious steps of traditional soul tool making, simplifying it into three steps: carving the core, putting in the materials, and opening the furnace to take shape."
"If he hadn't had to demonstrate the material purification process to us, he could have done it even faster."
"As long as Lin Yi is here, it means we can achieve mass production of ultra-high-quality high-level soul tools at an unprecedented speed."
"I won't say much else, just think about it yourselves. If Lin Yi were to refine the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, Kong Deming's words would instantly cause the entire sacrificial hall to boil over."
"The key is that he also understands humanoid soul tools and natal soul tools!"
The white-haired elder was so excited he was almost incoherent: "This child was practically born for soul tools!"
His name was Wang Changming, and he had a son named Wang Yiheng, whose title was Mad Bull. He was also a worshipper in the Hall of Worship.
Meanwhile, outside, Huo Yuhao followed Jing Hongchen to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
To Huo Yuhao's surprise, he actually saw Xu Tianran at the gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, his bright yellow prince's robes gleaming in the sunlight.
Since the prince who supported Xu He had already begun plotting against his disability, Xu Tianran simply came to Huo Yuhao openly.
He wore a gentle smile, and behind him stood a beautiful woman.
"Lin Yi, I've long admired your name."
Ju Zi pushed Xu Tianran to Huo Yuhao's side: "I heard that a young consecrator has come to the Hall of Offerings, so I waited here specially, just to see the true face of this genius."
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly, but he chose not to use his mental detection to observe Xu Tianran.
"Student Lin Yi greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Huo Yuhao's movements were flawless, and even his heartbeat was perfectly controlled by Electrolux using his mental power: "Your Highness is too kind to this student."
Xu Tianran chuckled softly, his wheelchair slowly moving forward half a foot: "There are no more than three people in the entire Sun Moon Empire who could be personally escorted by Elder Kong. Elder Lin is too modest."
Jing Hongchen stepped forward at the opportune moment.
There must be spies from the ancestral hall here now; we can't let Xu Tianran stay here for too long.
"Your Highness," Jing Hongchen said respectfully, "Lin Yi is new here and is not yet familiar with the academy."
Xu Tianran nodded: "I'll have Ju Zi accompany Lin Gongfeng on a tour of the campus later."
"Moreover, I came here only to present a small gift to Consort Lin."
The person behind him immediately presented a wooden box: "I've heard that Venerable Lin is skilled in alchemy. This is a ten-thousand-year-old snow ginseng that was harvested before the Sun Moon Empire severed ties with the far north. I'm presenting it to Venerable Lin as a congratulatory gift today."
"A week from now, I will be hosting a banquet at the East Palace. I hope that you, Lin Gongfeng, will grace us with your presence."
Huo Yuhao accepted the wooden box with both hands and bowed deeply: "This student is humbled and will certainly attend the banquet on time."
Xu Tianran nodded in satisfaction, then had another attendant push him back to the palace.
However, he had only walked a few meters when a deafening explosion suddenly rang out in the Sun and Moon Empire Square, several kilometers away.
Thick smoke billowed in the distance, and flames shot into the sky.
Xu Tianran's wheelchair suddenly stopped.
Jing Hongchen quickly protected everyone present.
Another loud explosion rang out, this time accompanied by the faint sound of laughter.
"Xu Tianran is a eunuch! He's infertile!"
"How can the future of the Sun Moon Empire be entrusted to a useless person!"
Upon learning of Huo Yuhao's existence, some brainless individuals within the prince's faction began to exert their influence.
They dispatched their Soul Emperor and Soul Saint level Death Soil warriors to openly challenge Xu Tianran's authority by self-destructing in Sun and Moon Square.
Huo Yuhao keenly noticed that Xu Tianran's fingers on the armrest instantly tensed up and turned white.
"Wow, we've already witnessed quite a show since we arrived."
