Tian Meng's Fury

Afterward, Xia Haoxuan took Gu Yuena downstairs to find his wife. He was serious about finding her a teacher.

His wife was a Level 7 Designer, more than capable of teaching Gu Yuena as she was now.

Though Gu Yuena wanted to say there was no need, she ultimately agreed after considering her current circumstances.

It would not be bad to study design with a high-level designer here. After all, she could not truly pick up a forging hammer... well, at least she would not consider it for now.

After everyone else had left, Li Yucheng watched Huo Yuhao examine the Soul Tool he had given him and smiled. "Can you tell what it does?"

He had already prepared himself to explain it to Huo Yuhao. This was one of his research projects. After the three God-Slaying Grade Soul Tool Cannonballs had consumed vast quantities of rare metals, that type of Soul Tool had become extinct. No one who did not specialize in researching them could possibly recognize it.

Huo Yuhao studied the Soul Tool's structure for a while and even used Mental Detection before saying, "This is a Soul Power Amplifier modeled after the internal structure of Diamond Spirit Gold. The material is Thousand-Forged Blue Pregnant Copper."

Li Yucheng: "..."

Could someone please take away this monstrous Soul Tool genius?

His expression instantly turned complicated. "Your knowledge is certainly broad, but Soul Power Amplifiers completely disappeared several thousand years ago. Why are you studying one...?"

At that point, Li Yucheng suddenly recalled the Silver Moon Douluo Huo Yuhao had mentioned. He pondered for a moment. "Do you want to incorporate a Soul Power Amplifier into your Natal Soul Tool?"

"How could that be?" Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "Soul Power Amplifiers are installed on Soul Tools below Level 9 to raise them by one grade. If a Natal Soul Tool only remained at Level 8, it would be better to use a Level 9 Soul Tool. I merely read some related materials and know a little about them."

The earliest Soul Power Amplifiers had no grade, but because they could raise a Soul Tool's grade, they were also called Level 9 Soul Tools that were not actually Level 9.

Their core material was Diamond Spirit Gold, extracted from the rare metal spirit gold. This material possessed excellent Soul Power conductivity and could amplify Soul Power Fluctuations through its dense internal refractive structure.

However, its capacity as a core was limited. If one wanted to amplify the power of a Level 9 Soul Tool or higher, this metal would not suffice.

After thinking it over, Li Yucheng also felt that Huo Yuhao was unlikely to have his sights set on this type of Soul Tool.

Diamond Spirit Gold could not be upgraded through forging. Its greatest strength lay in the structure within it that amplified Soul Power Fluctuations, while forging would only destroy that structure.

This was also why Soul Power Amplifiers had been eliminated in the present era. Not only was their core material, Diamond Spirit Gold, worth as much as a Level 8 Soul Tool, but its quality could not be improved through forging. Naturally, it had no advantage.

For Huo Yuhao to have designs on this Soul Tool, he would need to have already understood Diamond Spirit Gold's internal structure and, like Li Yucheng, created it using other materials. Yet even Li Yucheng could not fully accomplish that, so it was clearly impossible.

"Still, this is not a bad approach. As you can see, the Soul Tool I gave you is a Soul Power Amplifier developed by imitating the internal structure of Diamond Spirit Gold, using Blue Pregnant Copper, a metal with equally powerful Soul Power conductivity that can also be forged to improve its quality."

Li Yucheng looked at Huo Yuhao with a wry smile. "It is just that my replication of Diamond Spirit Gold's structure is not perfect enough. At present, it can amplify only the power of Level 6 Soul Tools at most. Yet I hope it will eventually improve the performance of Level 9 Soul Tools and surpass the Soul Power Amplifiers of the past!"

"Unfortunately, my Spiritual Power realm is lacking. I cannot compare to a Level 9 Mecha Manufacturer. But you can, Yuhao. Are you interested in taking over this research?"

"If your Natal Soul Tool reaches Level 9 in the future, then with this Soul Power Amplifier's enhancement, it could immediately rival a Level 10 Soul Tool! With your talent, it may even be possible for you to develop an amplifier that boosts Level 10 Soul Tools."

Li Yucheng stared straight at Huo Yuhao as if he were looking at an unparalleled treasure.

After all these days, he had come to understand why Huo Yuhao improved so quickly in sub-professions.

That Ultimate concentration and the realm of Mind-Body Unity were things only a Level 9 Craftsman could achieve. Yet Huo Yuhao seemed born with them. He was naturally suited to learning crafting!

Huo Yuhao lowered his head in thought for a while, then looked up and said solemnly:

"President Li, thank you. I will do my best to complete it."

He had indeed considered Soul Power Amplifiers in the past. At his peak, he had even dismantled quite a few pieces of Diamond Spirit Gold and used Spiritual Power at the Divine Origin Realm to thoroughly memorize their structures.

After all, a Soul Power Amplifier could raise a Soul Tool by an entire grade. If it had not been limited to improving Soul Tools only up to Level 8, it would have been a universal amplifier. If it could be thoroughly researched, many Soul Tool technologies could advance.

It was simply that Ten Thousand Years Ago, there had been no Thousand Forgings. Thousand Forgings were the foundation for Blue Pregnant Copper to display its effects. Now, however, things were different. With the appropriate materials and the prototype Li Yucheng had created, once he regained a sufficient realm, he could complete this Soul Tool and perhaps even innovate further.

"Technology is always advancing. President Li's research project has already given me a surprise. A Soul Tool that once required Diamond Spirit Gold now has other methods of production. I wonder what surprises the association headquarters, the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, and Mingde Hall will offer me?"

As he thought this, Huo Yuhao looked at Li Yucheng. Three Soul Rings suddenly appeared beside him as he smiled and said:

"Actually, I think you should try it yourself first. After all, this is your research project."

Li Yucheng was just about to shake his head when he sensed a Spiritual Power fluctuation. He frowned and accepted Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power fluctuation.

In an instant, everything around him became clear in Li Yucheng's eyes. When Huo Yuhao focused his gaze on that Soul Power Amplifier, all of its structures and minute points of imperfection were exposed before him.

Li Yucheng's eyes flew wide open, and he could not help crying out, "Th-this is..."

"This is my First Soul Skill," Huo Yuhao said. "Spiritual Detection Sharing."

The shock on Li Yucheng's face did not diminish. He muttered, "This is practically the most suitable soul skill for a Mecha Manufacturer!"

At that moment, he truly wanted to say: Yuhao, when you grow old, could you leave your First Soul Spirit to our family? Let my descendants burn offerings and tell me the news, and then I would have no regrets even in death!

But then he remembered that Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit had surely come from the Spirit Pagoda. Perhaps the Spirit Pagoda still had some in reserve. Li Yucheng simply asked:

"Yuhao, name your price. As long as you tell me what Soul Beast produces this soul skill, I can offer you a satisfactory price."

He was not a Mental Attribute Soul Master, so he might not be able to use such a Soul Spirit. But that was fine. Perhaps one of his descendants would mutate a Spiritual Martial Soul someday? He could leave the Soul Spirit behind for them.

Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment before saying:

"An Ice Silkworm, but a mutated one."

Tian Meng counted as mutated, right?

Li Yucheng's expression froze. "Huh? The Ice Silkworm Clan that gives negative benefits to all Soul Masters except Mental Attribute Soul Masters?"

In the Sea of Consciousness, Tian Meng and the Little Ice Silkworms collectively flew into a rage!
