Revive, My Soft Bone Rabbit

"I've been thinking. Since your time for cultivating Soul Power is already fully scheduled, I'll take you treasure hunting. Some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures go unrecognized by ordinary Soul Masters, but I know what they are. If you can consume some, it'll also benefit your strength."

"Really, Brother Sky Dream?" Huo Yuhao asked in surprise.

To be honest, before the Ice Empress arrived, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the early part of the original story spent much of its time asleep. Only at critical moments would it awaken, such as when it helped Huo Yuhao resolve Ma Xiaotao's crisis.

However, after the Ice Empress arrived in the original story, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sleeping time greatly decreased. After all, although it liked sleeping, it liked chatting with the Ice Empress even more.

After all, it had always wanted to deepen its relationship with the Ice Empress. If it kept sleeping, it would lose many chances to fawn over her.

"Of course. I'll never go back on my word! Sleeping is just a habit I picked up later anyway. Whenever you have time to go treasure hunting, just tell me." In the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's view, if it could help Huo Yuhao find some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures this semester to improve his physical condition, then the chances of successfully accommodating Bingbing's soul bone should increase considerably.

"Alright, Brother Sky Dream," Huo Yuhao replied.

He then returned his attention to the lesson. His Spiritual Power was relatively strong, so multitasking would not make him fall behind in such a basic course.

After listening for a while, he felt that while Zhao Feng did indeed teach some knowledge related to Soul Tools, he also slipped in private agendas from time to time.

Zhao Feng criticized the Shrek Seven Devils led by Tang San, as well as the Douluo Three Kingdoms, for lagging behind in the field of Soul Tools. That was actually normal, since their backwardness was a fact that had to be acknowledged.

However, as Zhao Feng continued, he began talking about things like the glory of the Sun Moon Empire, unifying the Douluo Continent, and loyalty to the imperial family.

Clearly, someone had instructed Zhao Feng to say such things. The Soul Masters seated in the classroom were all around eleven years old, and children at that age were easily influenced by others' words.

The Sun Moon Empire really starts indoctrinating them young. It seems the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire began planning for war long ago.

If Tang Wutong hadn't later used her Ninth Soul Skill, Sea God Descent, the Sun Moon Empire would have unified the Douluo Continent long ago. Even Ju Zi, the Empress War God, would have been thoroughly controlled by Tang San's deus ex machina!

Of course, Xu Tianran's cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult was truly inhuman. Those people are Evil Soul Masters who kill without batting an eye. Though abilities themselves have no distinction between good and evil, people do!

Thoughts churned through Huo Yuhao's mind. As someone who had transmigrated from the modern world, he naturally had no favorable impression of Evil Soul Masters who slaughtered people freely. After all, most Evil Soul Masters cultivated through cruel methods.

That afternoon.

Huo Yuhao arrived at the first-year teaching building. After waiting briefly, he saw Xuan Ziwen walking toward him.

For the current Huo Yuhao, his primary goal was to become a First-Level Soul Engineer. Only after becoming a First-Level Soul Engineer could he advance further and become a Second Level Soul Engineer.

Soul Engineers needed large amounts of rare metals for practice and experiments, making the profession extremely expensive. But Soul Engineers were also highly profitable. Every Soul Engineer who achieved a certain level of success was basically wealthy.

A man like Xuan Ziwen, who was unable to become a Rank 9 Soul Engineer due to the limits of his own cultivation, was naturally very rich as well.

"Follow me," Xuan Ziwen said flatly as he looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Alright, Teacher Xuan." Huo Yuhao nodded, then followed Xuan Ziwen toward the sixth-year teaching building. Before long, they entered it. After climbing several floors, they stopped before the door marked "Third Laboratory."

"Remember, once we're inside, follow my instructions. If I tell you not to touch something, you absolutely must not touch it." As Xuan Ziwen spoke, he took out a nameplate and waved it in front of the door several times. With a flash of light, the door slowly opened.

Huo Yuhao followed Xuan Ziwen into the laboratory and came before a huge silver-white table. Lying on it was a lifeless white rabbit, with traces of blood at the corner of its mouth.

"This is...?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.

"Oh, this is a type of Soul Beast called a Soft Bone Rabbit. They are commonly used to test the effects of certain Soul Tools and have made indelible contributions to Soul Tool research and development! I've even considered suggesting to the Hall Master that we erect a statue for the Soft Bone Rabbit clan to commemorate their contributions!" Xuan Ziwen sighed, and his gaze toward the Soft Bone Rabbit grew gentler.

Huo Yuhao froze when he heard that, then silently complained, Soft Bone Rabbits? Aren't they Xiao Wu's kin? How did they become lab rats in another world?

Still, given rabbits' breeding rate, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like Xiao Wu shouldn't have been single before meeting Tang San, right? If this rabbit really has some connection to Xiao Wu, then Xuan Ziwen, you've already embarked on the Path to Death!

"Come, try my Soul Tool. As a future Soul Engineer, you must familiarize yourself with the thing that will accompany you the longest in the future. Don't worry, this is merely a specially made First Level long-range Soul Tool. With your current strength, it should be fairly easy for you to activate." As Xuan Ziwen spoke, he handed Huo Yuhao a silver Soul Guidance Gun.

"What does this Soul Guidance Gun do?" Huo Yuhao took it and examined it for a moment before asking.

"Its effect is simple: it releases a Healing Ray. This Soft Bone Rabbit isn't dead. It merely suffered internal injuries during my experiment and fainted. Heal it," Xuan Ziwen said.

"Alright, Teacher Xuan!" Huo Yuhao helplessly aimed the muzzle at the Soft Bone Rabbit.

In class, he had already learned some knowledge related to Soul Tools, so operating this First Level Soul Tool naturally did not take much effort.

His Soul Power flowed through the Core Array. Then he pulled the trigger, and a pale green ray shot from the muzzle, striking the Soft Bone Rabbit directly.

Revive, my Soft Bone Rabbit!

A green glow enveloped the Soft Bone Rabbit, and a vibrant aura of life immediately began circulating through its body.

A moment later, the Soft Bone Rabbit opened its red eyes. Its eyes darted around as it warily looked at the humans present, then it twisted its body and bolted in another direction.

But no matter how fast it was, how could it outrun Xuan Ziwen? Xuan Ziwen grabbed it directly by the ears and lifted it up. The Soft Bone Rabbit struggled with all its might, but it was futile.

Soon, Xuan Ziwen took out a cage glowing silver-white and locked the Soft Bone Rabbit inside. Without turning his head, he asked Huo Yuhao, "Huo Yuhao, what do you think of this Soul Guidance Gun?"

"It's very impressive," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Impressive? Sigh, it still can't compare to one-ring Soul Masters with healing soul skills. It can only heal a single target, and its healing effect is rather average." Xuan Ziwen sounded somewhat helpless.
