Tian Meng's Fury

After that, Xia Haoxuan took Gu Yuena downstairs to find his wife. He had been serious when he said he would find her a teacher.

His wife was a Level Seven Designer, more than capable of teaching the current Gu Yuena.

Although Gu Yuena very much wanted to say there was no need, after considering the current circumstances, she still agreed.

Learning design from a high-level Designer here was not a bad idea. After all, she could not really go and pick up a Forging Hammer... Mm, at least, she would not consider it for the time being.

After everyone else left, Li Yucheng looked at Huo Yuhao, who was examining the Soul Tool he had given him, and smiled. "Can you tell what it does?"

He had already prepared himself to explain it to Huo Yuhao. This was one of his research topics. After three Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shells consumed a massive amount of rare metals, that type of Soul Tool had gone extinct now. Anyone who did not specifically study it could not possibly recognize it.

Huo Yuhao studied the Soul Tool's structure for a while, even using Spiritual Detection, before he said, "This is a Soul Power Amplifier made with the internal structure of Diamond Mithril as a reference! The material is thousand-refined Blue Pregnant Copper."

Li Yucheng: "..."

Someone come take this Soul Tool freak away!

His gaze instantly turned complicated. "Your breadth of knowledge is indeed wide enough, but Soul Power Amplifiers went completely extinct several thousand years ago. Why are you studying them..."

At this point, Li Yucheng suddenly remembered the Silver Moon Douluo Huo Yuhao had once mentioned, and he fell into thought. "You want to add a Soul Power Amplifier to your Natal Soul Tool?"

"How could that be?" Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "A Soul Power Amplifier's function is to be installed on a Soul Tool below Level 9 and raise that Soul Tool by one level. If a Natal Soul Tool only remains at Level 8, it would be better to use a Level 9 Soul Tool. I've only read some relevant information and know a little about it."

The earliest Soul Power Amplifiers had no grade, but because they could raise a Soul Tool's level, they were also called Level 9 Soul Tools that were not Level 9.

Their core material was Diamond Mithril extracted from the rare metal—mithril. This material had extremely outstanding Soul Power conductivity, and it could also amplify Soul Power fluctuations through its tightly packed internal refractive structure.

But its endurance as a core was limited. If one wanted to amplify the power of a Level 9 or higher Soul Tool, this metal still would not work.

Li Yucheng thought about it and also felt Huo Yuhao was not very likely to be targeting this kind of Soul Tool.

Diamond Mithril could not have its grade raised through forging, because its strongest point lay in the internal structure that could amplify Soul Power fluctuations, while forging would only destroy that structure.

This was also why Soul Tools like the "Soul Power Amplifier" had been eliminated nowadays. Its core material, Diamond Mithril, was as valuable as a Level 8 Soul Tool, not to mention it could not improve its own quality through forging, so it naturally had no advantage.

If Huo Yuhao had wanted to target this Soul Tool before, then unless he had already figured out Diamond Mithril's internal structure and, like him, used other materials to manufacture it—but even he could not fully accomplish that, so it was clearly impossible.

"However, this is still a method. As you saw, this Soul Tool I gave you is a Soul Power Amplifier developed by imitating Diamond Mithril's internal structure and using Blue Pregnant Copper, a metal that also has powerful Soul Power conductivity and can be forged to improve its quality."

Li Yucheng looked at Huo Yuhao and revealed a faint bitter smile. "It's just that because my replication of Diamond Mithril's structure isn't perfect enough, at present, it can at most amplify the power of a Level Six Soul Tool. And I hope that it can ultimately reach the point of improving the performance of Level 9 Soul Tools, surpassing the Soul Power Amplifiers of the past!"

"Unfortunately, my Spiritual Power realm isn't good enough. I can't compare with Level Nine Mecha Manufacturers. But Yuhao, you can. Are you interested in taking over this line of research?"

"If your future Natal Soul Tool can reach Level 9, then with the support of this Soul Power Amplifier, it can immediately rival a Level 10 Soul Tool! With your talent, it might even be possible for you to develop an amplifier that can boost Level 10 Soul Tools."

Li Yucheng stared straight at Huo Yuhao, as if he were looking at a priceless treasure.

After all these days, he had already understood why Huo Yuhao improved so quickly in Side Professions.

That extreme concentration of his, that realm where body and mind were as one, was something only a Level Nine Manufacturer could achieve, yet Huo Yuhao seemed to have been born with it. He was a natural-born talent for learning manufacturing!

Huo Yuhao lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised it and said solemnly:

"President Li, thank you. I'll do my best to complete it."

He had indeed once set his sights on the Soul Power Amplifier. At his peak, he had even dismantled quite a bit of Diamond Mithril and used his Divine Origin Realm Spiritual Power to completely memorize its structure in his mind.

After all, a Soul Power Amplifier could raise a Soul Tool's grade by one level. If not for the fact that it could at most raise Level 8 Soul Tools, this thing could be called an all-purpose amplifier. If it could be thoroughly studied, many Soul Tool technologies would be able to progress.

It was just that ten thousand years ago, thousand-refining did not exist, and for Blue Pregnant Copper to display its effects, thousand-refining was the foundation. Now things were different. With the corresponding materials, as well as the prototype Li Yucheng had manufactured, once he returned to a sufficient realm, he would be able to complete this Soul Tool, and even improve upon the old.

Technology was always advancing, after all. President Li's research topic has already given me a surprise. A Soul Tool that had to be made with Diamond Mithril in the past now has other production methods. I wonder what kind of surprises the association headquarters, Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, and Ming De Hall will give me?

As he thought this, Huo Yuhao looked at Li Yucheng. Three Soul Rings suddenly appeared beside him, and he smiled.

"Actually, I think you can try it yourself first. After all, this is your research topic."

Li Yucheng was just about to shake his head when he sensed a Spiritual fluctuation. He frowned and accepted Huo Yuhao's Spiritual fluctuation.

In an instant, everything around him became clear in Li Yucheng's eyes. When Huo Yuhao focused his gaze on that Soul Power Amplifier, all the structures inside it, all the tiny points of disharmony, were exposed before his eyes.

Li Yucheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he could not help crying out in shock, "This, this is..."

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

Hearing this, the shock on Li Yucheng's face did not lessen. He murmured, "This is simply the Soul Skill most suited to Mecha Manufacturers!"

At this moment, he really wanted to say: Yuhao, when you grow old one day, can you leave your first Soul Spirit to our family? Then my descendants can burn paper offerings and tell me the news, and I'll truly be able to die without regrets!

But on second thought, Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit must have been obtained from the Spirit Pagoda. Perhaps the Spirit Pagoda still had more in storage, so Li Yucheng simply asked:

"Yuhao, name your price. As long as you tell me what Soul Beast produces this kind of Soul Skill, I can give you a satisfactory price."

He was not a Spiritual Attribute Soul Master, so he might not be able to use this kind of Soul Spirit, but that was fine. Perhaps one of his descendants would mutate and develop a Spiritual Martial Soul? He could leave the Soul Spirit behind and pass it on to them.

Huo Yuhao fell silent for an instant, then said:

"Ice Silkworm, but a mutated one."

Tian Meng counted as mutated, right?

Li Yucheng's expression stiffened. "Huh? You mean that Ice Silkworm Clan that, aside from Spiritual Attribute Soul Masters, gives other Soul Masters negative improvement?"

In the Spiritual Sea, Tian Meng and the Little Ice Silkworm were collectively furious!
