After returning to his room, Kong Bo immediately turned on the recorder and began listening to what Huo Yuhao had said.
"I actually transmigrated into Huo Gua? Wow, this is amazing! If Huo Gua could do it, so can I. I never expected to start with Innate Full Soul Power. Hahaha, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Electrolux, wait for me!"
"From now on, I'll be Third Brother's son-in-law. Tang Wutong must be very beautiful, right?"
"Compared to ten thousand years ago, Third Brother now controls Douluo Planet, so my future is bound to be bright. Spirit Hall is gone, but there's the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, and the God Realm still has the God King of Destruction."
Kong Bo listened to all of it, then cried out in alarm. From these recordings, he could tell that Huo Yuhao was a fan of God King Tang whose soul had entered Huo Yuhao's body. Moreover, Huo Yuhao was a Soul Master who had started with Innate Full Soul Power and now had the protection of the Star Luo Imperial Family. With that judgment, Kong Bo had already marked Huo Yuhao as an enemy. He was determined to snatch away those opportunities, and he wished he could reach the Star Dou Great Forest in a single step and take both Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux away.
Then Kong Bo realized a problem. No matter what, the Star Luo Empire was closer to the Star Dou Great Forest than the Sun Moon Empire was. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao had the aid of the Star Luo Imperial Family, so he would definitely head to the Star Dou Great Forest at the first opportunity to find Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.
"Hmm, what should I do?" Kong Bo thought. If all those opportunities on the Douluo Continent fell into Huo Yuhao's hands—and Huo Yuhao was someone possessed by a fan of God King Tang—heh heh, Kong Bo did not dare guarantee that he could defeat another Huo Yuhao.
"Among the many opportunities on the Douluo Continent, aside from Shrek Academy... hmm? It seems soul beasts have the most of them. How can I find soul beasts?"
"Think of something, think of something..." As Kong Bo pondered, he inadvertently looked out the window. Kong Mansion was very close to the imperial palace, and he saw people carrying out construction within the palace grounds. It looked as though they were installing Lightning Rods on the landmark building known as the Sun Moon Tower.
"I've got it!" Kong Bo had a flash of inspiration when he saw the Lightning Rod.
"A Soul Master's first few Soul Rings must be chosen carefully. Otherwise, those early Soul Rings will be wasted. Whether I want to expand my own resources or bring in outside help, I'll have to deal with the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. What are soul beasts afraid of? Naturally, Lightning Tribulation. Hmm... Lightning Rods can ward off lightning, so could other lightning-protection measures block Lightning Tribulation?"
Kong Bo grew excited at the thought. "If they really can block Lightning Tribulation, it would be like saving the lives of those fierce beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest! Hmm... then I could take as much as I wanted from those filthy rich bastards. And those powerful beings would have to listen to me. If I need to conduct experiments in the future, they could help me too—at the very least, they could search for materials or even bring me things."
At this point, Xu Tianran once again sought out Kong Deming. Kong Deming attached great importance to Kong Bo, his great-grandson. When he saw Kong Bo arrive, he raised his head from the blueprints. "Bo'er, your great-grandfather has decided to personally take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring."
"Thank you, Great-Grandfather." Kong Bo bowed. "I have a request. I hope Great-Grandfather can help me make several things. They are not Soul Tools."
"Oh, Bo'er, what do you want to make? Your great-grandfather will have the Offering Hall make them for you." Kong Bo's ingenious offering of the Lightning Rod last time had earned Kong Deming a great deal of money. The Sun Moon Empire's productivity now surpassed that of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, so its buildings could be constructed taller. That also meant they were more likely to suffer lightning strikes during the storm season. Now that Kong Deming had released the Lightning Rod blueprints, many people wanted to buy them from the Offering Hall, and the Kong Family had profited handsomely as well.
Now that Kong Bo wanted Kong Deming to make something else, Kong Deming was naturally more than happy to help.
"Great-Grandfather, I want to make a kind of cage that can shield against lightning. It isn't a Soul Tool, but smelting it will be somewhat difficult, so I ask for your help." Kong Bo then explained the appearance of a Faraday Cage to Kong Deming, as well as the matters that required attention during its manufacture.
"Alright, Bo'er, your great-grandfather will help you. Once the smelting is finished, I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest," Kong Deming said. "Bo'er, you're a good child. You wouldn't have your great-grandfather make something like this for no reason. This cage... you can't exactly play with it either. Why do you want to make it? Can you tell your great-grandfather on the way?"
"Of course," Kong Bo said.
Kong Deming then made three Faraday Cages and stored them in his storage Soul Tool. Next, he took out a silvery-white sphere from the storage Soul Tool. After pouring Soul Power into it, the sphere gradually unfolded into a vehicle resembling the flying-wing configuration of a stealth fighter from Blue Star.
"Bo'er, get on," Kong Deming said. "This is a work I made when I took the examination to become a ninth-rank Soul Engineer. It is called the Sky Patrol Shuttle, a flying Soul Tool. Not only can it fly at high speed through the skies, but it is also difficult for other Soul Masters to detect. To reach the Star Dou Great Forest, we must pass through the Star Luo Empire's territory. The Star Luo Empire may very well target a genius Soul Master like you. It would be best if the people of the Star Luo Empire did not learn of our movements."
"Great-Grandfather, I understand." Kong Bo followed Kong Deming aboard the Sky Patrol Shuttle. Kong Deming activated it, and the two of them flew northward aboard it.
"Bo'er, can you now tell your great-grandfather why you wanted to make those cages?" Kong Deming asked.
"Great-Grandfather, after I came up with the Lightning Rod, I began thinking about lightning protection. For our Sun Moon Empire, it is only to keep tall buildings from being struck by lightning. Who do you think fears lightning strikes the most on the Douluo Continent?"
"Of course it is soul beasts. Your great-grandfather taught you that," Kong Deming said. "Bo'er, this is a good idea! If your cages can truly ward off lightning, it would be like saving the lives of those powerful soul beasts!"
They said Tang San had a set of "wealth codes" after obtaining the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Ten thousand years later, Kong Bo planned to invent a set of wealth codes for himself. Compared to becoming Soul Spirits and being controlled by others, those fierce beasts would naturally be willing to take things that could ward off lightning and live more freely.
