Hua Yichen: I'm Jealous

"Principle of Soul Spirits Granting Multiple Soul Rings"

"Distribution of Legendary Soul Spirit Families"

"Mecha Manufacturing Basics"

At the East Sea Spirit Pagoda Library, Anya watched Huo Yuhao immerse himself in the sea of books. Ten conspicuous books lay beside him, and the corner of her eye twitched. She felt it was necessary to speak to the Tower Master and put some limits on Huo Yuhao.

Even geniuses were human, not machines!

Huo Yuhao had spent the past month either cultivating or reading at home and in the library, living the same routine every day.

If he had merely been putting on a show, that would have been one thing. But after probing a little, Anya discovered that Huo Yuhao's understanding of many subjects was actually better than hers!

One had to know that her sub-profession was Mecha Designer, and she was currently an Intern Spirit Researcher at the Spirit Pagoda. A six-year-old child was better than her?

Was that reasonable? It was not reasonable!

Anya seriously suspected that ever since Huo Yuhao had joined the Spirit Pagoda, he had not been sleeping properly. He spent every waking moment studying and cultivating.

"Big Sister Anya? Are you here to borrow books too?"

After finishing the last book, Huo Yuhao was about to leave when he spotted Anya standing nearby. He picked up a book at hand and offered it to her.

"I recommend reading this one. Its insights into Soul Spirits are very unique, and it will help with your internship."

One should never underestimate the wisdom of others.

After countless years of development and change, the knowledge systems surrounding Soul Spirits and Soul Tools had become extraordinarily vast. He needed to devote a great deal of time and energy to studying them before he could make them his own.

Anya glanced at the book in her hand, Similarities and Differences Between Soul Spirits and Transformed Soul Beasts in Producing Soul Rings, and the corner of her eye twitched. She forced a smile. "Yuhao, thank you. I'll read it later. But I actually came here to find you."

Anya quietly put the book away, intending to find a chance to return it later. Then she continued, "You haven't forgotten what day it is today, have you?"

Huo Yuhao stroked his chin. "The one-month anniversary of me joining the Spirit Pagoda?"

Anya: "..."

She could not tell before, but this child was quite narcissistic.

"I'm joking."

Huo Yuhao smiled. "I remember. The auction is starting, right?"

He had not had the chance to enjoy Whale Rubber Ten Thousand Years Ago. This time, he finally had the opportunity to try it.

Just...

"Why is the Tower Master accompanying me personally?"

At the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao looked at Hua Yichen, who was waiting there, then at the utterly baffled Anya. His eyebrows twitched.

As the Tower Master, was Hua Yichen not a little too idle? They had met at least ten times over the past month, hadn't they? Did he not have anything else to do?

Meanwhile, Hua Yichen looked at the formally dressed Huo Yuhao and smiled approvingly.

"It suits you very well."

At that moment, Huo Yuhao had changed into a silver-patterned formal outfit specially made by the Spirit Pagoda. It had also been inside the Storage Ring, prepared specifically for him to attend formal occasions.

Then, seemingly noticing their confusion, Hua Yichen explained:

"There has been a change of plans. The final auction item this time is extremely valuable. Important figures from all over Eastsea City will be attending, so it is most appropriate for me to go personally."

Huo Yuhao's expression shifted. He nodded thoughtfully and got into a Soul Tool Vehicle with Hua Yichen, heading toward the city center while leaving Anya standing in the wind in complete disarray.

Should that not have been her job?

No matter how valuable the auction item was, there was no need for the Tower Master to go personally, was there?

Could the rumors that the Tower Master liked wandering around the streets and alleys actually be true?

It really suited his Title Douluo name...

Eastsea City's auction house was jointly operated with the museum. The museum had a dedicated exhibition area for auction items, and auctions were held regularly.

Huo Yuhao remembered descriptions of this place. When Tang Wulin had been troubled over removing the Golden Dragon King Seal, this place had been mentioned.

Thinking of the Golden Dragon King, Huo Yuhao looked at the scenery flashing past outside the window, deep in thought.

During the Battle of the Douluo God Realm, Huo Yuhao had not actually played much of a role. He had either been fetching reinforcements or on his way to fetch reinforcements. His battle with Destruction had only displayed his potential to Become a God King, without producing any substantive results.

Moreover, he had not Become a God, so Tang San would certainly alter his plans. The Goddess of Life also sided with outsiders, helping Tang San oppose her own husband. Therefore, the outcome of the God Realm Civil War probably would not change.

That Golden Dragon King God Core should still be inside Tang Wulin...

"Are you thinking about the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber?"

Noticing Huo Yuhao's unusual state, Hua Yichen smiled. "With the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber and Spirit Ascension Pill assisting you, your First Soul Spirit can reach the Thousand Year Level in the shortest possible time."

"You are the first person I have seen who reached this level so soon after obtaining a Soul Spirit."

At that, Hua Yichen paused and looked at Huo Yuhao. "However, the greater your talent, the more you must learn restraint. Do not become arrogant. How is your mastery of the Simulation Soul Skill?"

"My First Soul Skill is not Simulation."

As Huo Yuhao spoke words that made Hua Yichen frown, a yellow Soul Ring appeared around him. He directly activated Spiritual Detection Sharing and Mental Sharing. "Please relax your mind. Let me show you."

In an instant, the scenery rushing past outside the vehicle became clear in Hua Yichen's eyes. Details such as the tire marks on the road and the internal structure of the Soul Tool Vehicle also came into view.

For a moment, even someone as composed as Hua Yichen froze, uncertainty and shock churning within him.

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

Huo Yuhao smiled. "At present, it can detect objects within twenty meters. By narrowing the detection range, I can improve its precision. It is very useful for researching Soul Tools and Soul Spirits. As for Simulation, I intend to save it for my second Soul Skill. There should be no problem with that, right, Teacher Hua?"

Hua Yichen said, "That's right. You made the right choice..."

It was far more than merely right. This was simply miraculous!

Hua Yichen took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart as he looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression.

Why had he placed the Ice Silkworm before Huo Yuhao for him to choose? Because the Ice Silkworm had also been his First Soul Spirit. He had personally experienced just how useful the Simulation Soul Skill was!

But could someone tell him why, despite both being Ice Silkworms, his Soul Spirit had only granted him Simulation and not Spiritual Detection Sharing? Could Huo Yuhao's Ice Silkworm have mutated?

Yes, Hua Yichen was jealous. Extremely jealous!

It could be said that with this Soul Skill alone, even if Huo Yuhao did not become the strongest Soul Master, he could still reach the pinnacle in professions such as Mecha Design and Mecha Manufacturing!

While Hua Yichen's emotions churned, the Soul Tool Vehicle arrived at East Sea Museum.

Still within the range of Spiritual Detection Sharing, Hua Yichen instantly noticed a special individual.

East Sea Museum was located slightly south of the center of Eastsea City. It was a cluster of ancient-looking buildings, consisting of one main building and two side buildings.

In front of the museum, two people stepped out of a vehicle.

One was a beautiful girl with a golden ponytail and azure eyes. The other looked to be around forty years old. His powerful physique was outlined by a silver-gray fitted outfit, and a badge hung over his left chest.

The badge had a gold background and a slightly raised hammer pattern. Each star on it was black, eight in total, signifying that he was an Eight-star Saint Craftsman!
