The Hongchen Siblings' Surprise

"But what is the purpose of this Soul Tool?

Although I do think your idea is quite creative, Soul Tools must ultimately have practical applications. I can tell that you want to use sound waves for attacks, but the power of these arrays is too weak. It isn't enough to kill an enemy."

Xuan Ziwen was also somewhat helpless. He felt that Huo Yuhao had made something with little practical use. In his view, this might have been a failed innovation.

"Its purpose isn't to kill enemies immediately." Huo Yuhao picked up the small sphere and examined it carefully before saying with a smile, "Teacher Xuan, how about I demonstrate it for you? Of course, please find me a few live targets. Its killing power isn't very great against inanimate objects."

Xuan Ziwen nodded and headed toward one side of the laboratory. A moment later, he returned carrying three cages, each filled with Soft Bone Rabbits.

As expected of Douluo's lab rats. Huo Yuhao could not help feeling emotional at the sight. "Teacher Xuan, could it be that all the soul beasts in the laboratory are Soft Bone Rabbits?"

"It can only be said that the vast majority of soul beasts in the laboratory are Soft Bone Rabbits. They reproduce quickly, are numerous, not very strong, and easy to catch. Naturally, they make the best test subjects.

I'll release them all into the testing area later. Then you can make your move," Xuan Ziwen said.

"Alright." Huo Yuhao nodded, then followed Xuan Ziwen to the testing area. Since the laboratory was enormous, it had a dedicated area for testing the power of Soul Tools.

Xuan Ziwen opened the cages and released the three Soft Bone Rabbits. The moment they landed, they rolled their red eyes a few times before immediately fleeing in every direction. Clearly, they would not simply wait to die.

One of the Soft Bone Rabbits even Teleported three meters away, attempting to escape human control.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao pulled the pin and hurled the Silver Sphere into the testing area, then covered his ears and shut his eyes.

With a thunderous boom, piercing sound waves erupted from the silver sphere and spread throughout the entire laboratory as a powerful flash flickered.

The next moment, the three Soft Bone Rabbits, which had only run halfway, staggered a few steps like they were drunk before collapsing onto the ground, their eyes vacant.

Xuan Ziwen froze for a moment. As a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, naturally, such a little light and noise could not affect him.

He quickly walked over to the Soft Bone Rabbits and examined them carefully. After a moment, he said in amazement, "They haven't suffered any substantial injuries, but they've fallen unconscious.

Let me think. The Soul Tool you made does indeed have its merits. Although it has little killing power, it would be quite useful in certain situations."

"It's very suitable for capturing soul beasts or humans alive," Huo Yuhao added as he walked over.

The inspiration for this Soul Tool had actually come from flashbang grenades in his previous life. Generally speaking, flashbangs had little killing power. They mainly used intense light and enormous noise to weaken a living creature's vision and hearing, causing dizziness or even unconsciousness.

Since Soul Power was an all-purpose energy source in Douluo, he had an idea and directly made a Soul Tool version of a flashbang.

Of course, the main reason for making this was that, in Douluo, capturing soul beasts or human Soul Masters alive had certain prospects. After all, some soul beasts and human Soul Masters could only display greater value after being captured alive.

"Not bad. With this thing, it will indeed be much easier to capture soul beasts and even human Soul Masters alive. And it even has a Charging Array inside, making it very convenient to use. What is it called?" Xuan Ziwen picked up the silvery-white metal sphere, admiration appearing on his face.

"A Soul Guidance Concussion Bomb," Huo Yuhao said without changing expression.

"If a First-Level Soul Guidance Concussion Bomb can have such an effect, then an optimized Eighth-Rank Soul Guidance Concussion Bomb could potentially knock even a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse unconscious in a sneak attack. Not bad, Huo Yuhao, very good! From today onward, you are a First-Level Soul Engineer certified by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."

A smile appeared on Xuan Ziwen's face. It had been a long time since he had seen such a creative young man. Huo Yuhao's talent in the field of Soul Tools had truly surprised him. He took out a First-Level Soul Engineer badge and pinned it to Huo Yuhao's chest.

A smile gradually appeared on Huo Yuhao's face as well. "Thank you, Teacher Xuan."

"It's nothing. You deserve it. Even at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, your talent is unparalleled. I never expected you to become a First-Level Soul Engineer after studying Soul Tools for only twenty days. You are an absolute genius! I will report this to the academy and have them place greater importance on you," Xuan Ziwen said with admiration.

Huo Yuhao smiled, but his heart remained calm. After all, the original Huo Gua's talent for making Soul Tools had actually been extremely strong. Huo Gua had studied forging under Fan Yu for five months, then spent the remaining three months studying before becoming a Second Level Soul Engineer.

Meanwhile, he had used the Soul Guidance Forging Device to replace manual forging, greatly saving time. Moreover, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was an academy centered around Soul Engineers, so he could spend more time learning knowledge related to Soul Tools. Naturally, he advanced by leaps and bounds in the field of Soul Tools.

Now that I'm already a First-Level Soul Engineer, my next goal is becoming a Second Level Soul Engineer. Of course, I also need to find a way to pick up bargains with Brother Sky Dream. Thoughts churned in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"What? Huo Yuhao passed the First-Level Soul Engineer examination in twenty days? And he even received high praise from Xuan Ziwen? Someone like Xuan Ziwen, who is extremely strict when it comes to making Soul Tools, actually praises people?" Jing Hongchen was utterly bewildered when he received news about Huo Yuhao.

What did twenty days even mean? Back then, it seemed that even he had not passed the examination within twenty days. Huo Yuhao's performance seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao was an absolute genius.

At that moment, a handsome young man walked over. He was Jing Hongchen's grandson, Xiao Hongchen, known as the Sun Moon Empire's number one genius.

Xiao Hongchen looked at Jing Hongchen in surprise. "Grandfather, who is Huo Yuhao? Why have I never heard this name before? Passing the First-Level Soul Engineer examination in twenty days is far too exaggerated."

"Hehe, Xiao, you've been dealt a blow, haven't you? It must feel awful inside! If it hurts, then cry it out!" The young girl Meng Hongchen walked over from the side, a smile appearing on her lovely face as well.

"How could that be possible? I, Xiao Hongchen, am the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire. My heart is incomparably strong. How could I possibly be affected! Meng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly. "I admit that he passed the First-Level Soul Engineer examination faster than I did.

But the later the Soul Engineer advancement examinations go, the harder they become. Could it be that he can continue passing all the later advancement examinations so quickly?"
