Time was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, galloping recklessly across the wilderness of Destiny.

Summer on Douluo Continent was nearing its end, and this was also the time when all students returned to their academies.

Shrek Academy was no exception. Or rather, Shrek Academy had set the date for returning to school, and every other academy merely imitated it.

Just like how failing students thought everything top students did was right.

During this time, Huo Yuhao held nothing back from Jiang Nannan, passing all of his medical knowledge from his previous life, including his surgical experience, on to her.

He even stayed up every night to compile a Medical Compendium, drawing upon the knowledge from his previous life while adapting it to the local conditions of Douluo Continent.

Some illnesses required medicinal herbs that could not be found in this world, so Huo Yuhao replaced them all with local herbs. He personally experimented with adjusting the proportions to ensure the effects remained the same.

Besides that, Huo Yuhao painstakingly researched the rune structure of Reversal Technique.

With the help of the Spiritual Eye's powerful mental strength and his Super Brain, he actually managed to uncover something.

The arrangement of these runes followed an order, and every rune possessed a unique Symbol.

Moreover, different arrangements of the same rune displayed different properties.

For example, a rune that looked somewhat like α represented distortion.

As long as Soul Power and mental strength were mixed in a ratio of 14:86, then transmitted onto a material through a pen made from Amber Spirit Gold, that material would instantly become distorted.

What puzzled Huo Yuhao was where the energy that distorted the material came from.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Vital Energy had not decreased at all, nor was it powered by Soul Power.

Huo Yuhao could only write this question down in his notebook.

Furthermore, these runes seemed to involve some sort of Authority. Whenever Huo Yuhao studied them, his [Comprehension] Authority surged upward.

At first, Huo Yuhao thought he had stumbled upon the principles of Soul Tools by accident.

That was until he bought a book about Soul Tools, then dismantled a Soul Guiding Ray Gun from his Storage Soul Tool.

Only then did he realize that runes and Soul Tools were entirely separate systems.

The Core Arrays of Soul Tools were more like integrated circuits from his previous life. No, that was wrong! They were integrated circuits.

This was right in Huo Yuhao's field of expertise. As Planetary Engine Maintenance Personnel, Huo Yuhao was naturally an outstanding engineer.

When he saw the Core Arrays and logic devices on the Soul Tools, Huo Yuhao felt as though he had returned home.

Heh, it was like an old Beijinger entering a sewer—authentically familiar!

After studying them for only a short while, Huo Yuhao compared the electrical Physics knowledge from his previous life with the principles of Soul Tools here and could immediately replicate a fourth-grade Soul Guiding Ray Gun.

Huo Yuhao found it incredibly easy. The most difficult part, the Core Array, was child's play under his precise mental control.

The only difficulty was that the materials needed for Soul Tools were far too expensive!

Douluo Continent had no concept of chemistry at all. Every metal was naturally formed, without even a trace of Technology and Hard Work.

The metals here were quite impressive too; one could find metals with every sort of property.

Some time ago, Huo Yuhao discovered a substance called White Magnetite in a market.

He brought it back out of curiosity to study it, only for the sight to nearly make his Spiritual Eye pop out.

When he casually placed the thing on a table, he discovered that it floated by itself.

Who could understand the salvation of seeing a material float on its own?!

At the time, Huo Yuhao wore an expression of utter disbelief. After crafting a battery and several measuring instruments from materials found on Douluo Continent, he tested the substance.

No matter how much electrical current passed through it, it did not heat up. Huo Yuhao even found a Soul Master with a Lightning Dragon Martial Soul who often visited the Medical Hall to help him test it.

The results showed that this thing was precisely the Ambient-Temperature, Ambient-Pressure Superconductor that had taken countless hardships to develop in his previous life.

The Soul Master with the Lightning Dragon Martial Soul even said, "Hall Master, were you scammed? Tell me who did it, and I'll teach him a lesson for you. Even I know this stuff—it's White Magnetite. It's useless."

"There's an entire mountain of this stuff in the Wild Gold Plains of the Heaven Dou Empire. It's just worthless rocks by the roadside. No one buys it at all."

Upon hearing his words, Huo Yuhao's entire body stiffened.

"An... entire... mountain."

"Worthless... rocks."

One had to know that the reason Earth could launch the Wandering Project in his previous life was because scientists across the world had gathered and worked together in the early days, pooling the wisdom of an entire planet to overcome the principles of high-temperature superconductivity and create the Ambient-Temperature, Ambient-Pressure Superconductor.

Based on this superconductor, Earth overcame thermonuclear fusion technology in one stroke, followed by cold fusion, until heavy fusion technology emerged.

Not only that, but the 550w quantum Supercomputer was born because of it as well.

The space elevator had also successfully connected heaven and earth only through the Ambient-Temperature, Ambient-Pressure Superconductor.

Without exaggeration, the Ambient-Temperature, Ambient-Pressure Superconductor had ushered in a technological revolution. Thanks to that revolution, Earth had avoided being buried alongside the sun!

Yet in this world, it was considered worthless rubble, not worth a single coin.

Huo Yuhao could practically guess what the Plane Consciousness was thinking.

Plane Consciousness: "Ambient-temperature superconductor? Hmph, watch me make a whole pile of them for you."

"Rare metals? Hmph, who do you think I am? Metals, I order you to come out of the Earth's core!"

"Mining is difficult? Don't worry, all of you grow into forms ready for direct use."

"Ha, children, I have burned myself out."

"Thus, humanity, rise!"

"What? You think Soul Power and infighting are more fun?"

"Hehe, now you've made yourselves look pathetic."

That aside, Huo Yuhao could now make fifth-grade Soul Tools without any problem. He had not made sixth-grade Soul Tools because they were too expensive, but they probably would not be a problem either.

Compared to Soul Tools, Huo Yuhao preferred the rune system he had discovered himself.

After all, what engineer from Earth did not dream of founding a school of his own?

Who did not want their name to become a fundamental unit?

Just thinking about it made Huo Yuhao feel like he was about to get hard.

As for what to call this system, Huo Yuhao had yet to reach a conclusion, until one day when he thoroughly understood a rune—τ.

That was right, it looked rather like the time constant. This rune's property was material conversion. As long as the rune was engraved onto any solid material,

that material would immediately gain a property—self-arrangement.

As long as it possessed this property, when the engraver inscribed runes, their mental strength and Soul Power would arrange themselves in an orderly fashion, making them easier to control and rune inscription much simpler.

The inscribed material would also turn golden, much like gold.

Thus, Huo Yuhao named this rune system Alchemy!

Without a doubt, Alchemy would become the specialty of Spiritual Attribute Soul Masters, because the mental strength of Spiritual Attribute Soul Masters far surpassed that of Soul Masters at the same rank.

Their control over mental strength was also beyond ordinary people.

Huo Yuhao believed that as long as he continued his research, while his [Comprehension] Authority rose madly, the Spiritual Attribute would leap straight to top tier!

Only the weak complained about their environment. The strong simply changed it.

One day, the Spiritual Attribute belonging to Life would stand above every Attribute and every element.
