The Silver Dragon King Lost All Her Dignity

Li Yucheng left.

He had failed to persuade Huo Yuhao, but he had at least shown his face to him, and Huo Yuhao had also agreed to visit the Mecha Master Association often to exchange ideas with him. For now, that was enough.

As for the rest, they could talk about it later.

Huo Yuhao watched Li Yucheng leave, said goodbye to Hua Yichen, and returned home.

Standing indoors, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then traced his palm through the air, opened the Undead Demigod Plane, and took out a Storage Ring from within.

His gaze swept quickly over the Level 9 and Level 10 Soul Tools, the Gold of Life, and the other items, before landing on a design blueprint.

Level 12 Natal Soul Tool—Spirit Pagoda!

This blueprint was only half-finished.

It had been derived over a long period of time using the knowledge system from ten thousand years ago. But now that ten thousand years had passed, Soul Guidance Arrays had continued to develop, replacing the old with the new, and there were many parts Huo Yuhao had never thought of.

More importantly... Heaven Forging Metal!

Ten thousand years ago, Old Man Kong's Natal Soul Tool had allowed him to be amplified from Rank 95 to the ultimate level, and even to gather the power of numerous Soul Engineers to unleash an attack comparable to the peak of a Quasi-God. It was not much inferior to Four-Word Battle Armor. But no matter how precious the metal he had used to create his Natal Soul Tool was, it could not possibly compare to Heaven Forging Metal!

What about now?

The Soul Tool design blueprints, ideas, and experience accumulated by the Mecha Master Headquarters, the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, and even Ming De Hall, plus Heaven Forging Metal, and also... the Power of Faith accumulated by the Spirit Pagoda over ten thousand years!

Only when all of these were combined and created by him would it be the final complete form!

"I didn't break my promise, Old Man Kong."

Soul Tool Airplane, Military Soul Tool. A Soul Tool whose theory had been proposed ten thousand years ago by the First Generation Tower Master, and completed by the Federation a hundred years ago.

(In the original work, it was the newest Soul Tool from ten thousand years later, so I won't even get into that. This time, I already gave you the principles. Do you people really have to take nearly ten thousand years to research anything? Is Tang God King's curse really that powerful? In an ordinary world, ten thousand years would have been enough to develop into the cosmos! —The above came from Huo Yuhao's complaints after seeing the relevant news.)

At first, the Federal Government had considered the design suggestions of a certain First Generation Tower Master, intending to improve the Soul Tool Airplane and use it as a Civilian Soul Tool.

But before they could reach a conclusion, Soul Masters had already run off to the military corps to "borrow" planes. The Northern Military Corps in particular had people "borrowing" planes every so often to go out to sea and head for the so-called Devil Island.

The Federation did not know what was so attractive about that damned place. They only knew that if the planes were not even safe in the army, they would be even less safe for civilian use.

Some personnel worried about technological leaks immediately seized the opportunity to exaggerate the matter, making the Federation temporarily give up on civilian use.

As for who those people "borrowing" the "planes" were, the Federation did not dare ask, nor did it dare say. It merely silently recorded another mark in its heart.

However, although civilian use was banned, the Spirit Pagoda was an exception.

A Soul Tool Airplane manufactured using the design concept proposed by their First Generation Tower Master—could you really stop them from using it?

So after the Spirit Pagoda developed a civilian model of the airplane, it built large airports near the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters and the Eighteen Great Branch Towers, making it convenient for personnel to travel back and forth.

At this moment, Gu Yuena was sitting on a Soul Tool Airplane, her hand propping up her chin. Her amethyst-like eyes looked through the window at the blue sky and white clouds retreating outside as she murmured to herself.

"Even without Soul Power, this kind of Soul Tool can use other energy sources as a substitute. Humans have already conquered the Great Sea, and now they've conquered the sky too. What terrifying creativity."

"Little sister, what are you talking about?" Beside Gu Yuena, a black-haired girl looked at her curiously. "You bought a ticket to get on too, right? Are you all alone?"

Such a pretty little girl. Were her parents really at ease letting her travel alone?

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze and shook her head lightly. "I'm an internal member of the Spirit Pagoda."

Since it had already been developed, it would be too wasteful to use it only for internal travel among their own people. So before the Spirit Pagoda's Soul Tool Airplanes took off, they would sell tickets on the Soul Tool Network. Those who managed to grab tickets could also hitch a ride, as a way to commemorate the First Generation Tower Master.

However, as Gu Yuena saw it, there seemed to be no need to commemorate him anymore. The man was still alive.

"Eh?" The black-haired girl's eyes widened. She looked Gu Yuena up and down for a while, then seemed to suddenly think of something. "You're the Element Controller ranked thirteenth on the Young Genius List—Gu Yuena?"

Gu Yuena: "..."

Honestly, that title did not sound good at all. But who had asked her to fabricate and register a Martial Soul called "Elemental Envoy"?

She could only put up with it.

Over these three years, her performance in the Spirit Pagoda had been a little too dazzling. Some busybody had given her a title and placed her on that ranking list, and her rank was not low either.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she was only thirteenth. Her apparent age was nine, and reaching this ranking at nine years old meant that in the eyes of many Spirit Masters, she would sooner or later reach the very top in the future...

Oh, recently, because Huo Yuhao had made the list, there was now one more person who might reach the top. Naturally, some were happy and some were worried.

Because of her talent, the Qian Gu Clan had always wanted to win her over. However, Gu Yuena ignored them. Given the Spirit Pagoda's current state, she did not need their support. In fact, obtaining the Qian Gu Clan's support would be a bad thing instead.

Thinking this, Gu Yuena nodded faintly, sparing her words like gold.

"Yes."

The black-haired girl asked with great interest, "What's your Martial Soul? Is it some kind of elemental Martial Soul?"

As for those on the Young Genius List, after receiving their own consent, the Spirit Pagoda would reveal some basic information, such as age, Soul Power Level, Side Profession level, and so on, in order to convince the public. But it would not expose information about the listed person's Martial Soul abilities.

However, this kind of concealment was not very useful. Once someone was on the list, sooner or later their information would be dug up and spread onto the Soul Tool Network, filling in the gaps. So in the end, those who were well-informed all knew.

It was just that Gu Yuena was a member of the Spirit Pagoda, and she did not appear before others very often. At present, her Martial Soul information still had not been exposed. Everyone only knew the title the internal personnel of the Spirit Pagoda had given her.

Element Controller? Why did she have a title like that?

The black-haired girl was quite curious.

Gu Yuena's expression was cold and indifferent. Just as she was about to speak, her Soul Tool Communicator rang, making her pause before she said bluntly:

"A Martial Soul's abilities are the foundation of a Soul Master. I won't reveal them. Sorry, but let's stop here for now. I need to take a call."

"Uh, sorry." Seeing Gu Yuena take a Soul Tool Communicator out from her clothes, the girl awkwardly withdrew her gaze.

For a first meeting, she really had been a little presumptuous.

After Gu Yuena finished listening to the call from the other end, she fell silent.

The call was from Zi Ji. It was not about anything important, simply... concern and greetings.

Zi Ji's gentle, light voice came through from the other end of the call.

"Please don't overwork yourself for the sake of the plan. We're still here. Since you're going to live at a Soul Master Academy, then relax. The world today is changing with every passing day; if you walk too quickly, you'll miss a great deal of scenery. There's no need to rush."

"Also, your appearance will probably be quite popular in the human world. If you only want to live an ordinary academy life, it would be better to rein yourself in a little. Otherwise, you'll attract some troublesome people..."

Gu Yuena listened patiently to the end, pressed her lips together, answered softly, then hung up.

Di Tian had said something similar too.

"Master, the situation is good now. You don't have to force yourself."

Ever since she had walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest, she had seen Soul Beasts and spirit souls integrating into human society in their own ways, allowing Soul Beasts to survive in this imperfect, yet not bad, era.

No one regarded her as their final hope. Instead, she had been looked after by her own people. When she had initially been unable to integrate into human society, she had even needed help from Soul Beasts who had already done so, letting quite a few Fierce Beasts see another side of her.

Was it because of this that she seemed so lacking in dignity?

Miss Gu Yuena fell into deep thought.
